mircea_popescu: catholics have female choirs, but much more musical than this.
mircea_popescu: weirdo neoprotestant garbage, "find teh jaysus within" and "participate" negrochurch nonsense.
danielpbarron: catholicism is a false religion for many other reasons besides letting women speak in church
mircea_popescu: sure. tho of interest to me is the cultural tradition. like skateboarding or w/e.
danielpbarron: any church that let's strangers walk into the service is at question in the first place, on the grounds that the Bible says you shouldn't pray in public

RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu I have a couple of translators sorting out their IRCs today and should be present within the next 24 hrs or so. I've only done some basic screening - they are all native Chinese, speak English well enough and are available to do translation work. Besides speaking to them, I have NOT gone through any further process of elimination - ie. collected writing samples to have compared, etc.
RagnarDanneskjol: Don't know if you already have anyone in place for comparing/assessing outputs.. In the past I've used colleagues in Beijing to help screen candidate writing samples (cause I don't read or speak Ornamental). I'm happy to have someone do the same if it helps. Otherwise, will just let you take over from here.
BingoBoingo: So, on Sundays Montevideo does get very sleepy. Except for the ferias!

shinohai: Careful BingoBoingo it may be a carefully crafted 3-D simulation.
BingoBoingo: I don't think USG can simulate the smell of cannabis smoke, however the Brazilians here for the "expo cannabis" are departing either for home or Punta del Este
BingoBoingo: In other news, the Brazilians at the hostel are easily impressed. One of the guys staying there was local actor with an IMDB profile, but el gringo had the ability to enjoy the cool night air shirtless.
mircea_popescu: not like making an imdb profile takes more than ten minutes.
BingoBoingo: Eh, there were some film credits there. The German girl was impressed by the credits, but did not look as good as the Brazilain girls. Maybe if the German girl was from 10-20 years ago she could compete against the locals and the Brazillians? Today, no.

BingoBoingo: The local men range from ghastly pale to light brown with some outliers at the african end of the spectrum. The local women range from olive or slightly tanned to medium roast coffee with fairly even gradient distribution so far observed.

lobbes: Collected every quarter. Can be paid via eulora or deedbot
mircea_popescu: shinohai nah. BUT! i did encounter a massive old world item, which i will presently show. though other thinjhs in queue. so after that.
mircea_popescu: lobbes you might want to reconsider thouse ; iirc they were pegged back when btc was 1k or so.
lobbes: Alternatively, there's always the traditional % off of sale. But iirc the fees were introduced to curb spamming in channel of 'derp' auctions
lobbes: Which flat per hour makes moar sense
lobbes: I got some noodling to do it seemz
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 17133.3184732 * 168 * 1e5 / 1e9 = 287.83975034976004
mircea_popescu: so it's gonna cost me... 300 bucks if this auction ends up unbidden ?
mircea_popescu: seems like... two degrees of magnitude off. unless i'm fucking the math up.
mircea_popescu: which i think it must be because it was never this expensive.
lobbes: Ah, wait. Shouldn't it be: 17133.3184732 * 168 * 1e4 / 1e9 ?
mircea_popescu: and yet... it STILL seems two degrees of magnitude off.
mircea_popescu: the principal consideration here being that if you charge more than maybe a quarter or so, you're basically paying for someone to make a competitor.
danielpbarron: heh, my early adopter privilege blinded me to this
lobbes: Makes sense. Yeah, should prolly only cost you roughly 3 bux if no sale using sane fees
mircea_popescu: tis wise to undershoot early and keep the loot for later.
lobbes: Ok, I can see this reasoning. I'm thinking I'll reduce fees to: 100 ecu per hour no sale, 20 per hour if sale
mircea_popescu: that moment when there's three different singlet earrings on your coffee table and you can't find your spare camera battery among them
lobbes: Ftr, these reduced fees will be applied retroactively for all Q4 billz. For next year, I'm thinking I may switch to the "only pay once you hit certain hour threshold" model.
