mircea_popescu: a) hire a girl to do this. pay minimum wage, see how much you actually care to do it ; b) built a pdp already, or what was it you were building ?
asciilifeform: already maxed dosimeter.
asciilifeform wonders if 'physical btc' is largely a stale and dead scam, or still lively somewhere.
mircea_popescu: no such thing as a stale scam.

mircea_popescu: but he ISNT one. he's an orc masquerading as one, and at the first touch the masquerade crumbles.
asciilifeform: what's the diff b/w 'ordinary derp' and orc
mircea_popescu: same thing, throughout. buenos aires has a night life, god help you if you try to go out. it has shops, god help you if you try to you know, find the most common industrial product in deployment over the whole country (ie, the heating element from http://trilema.com/2016/cargo-cults-a-case-study/ )

mircea_popescu: lmao so comcast is finally installing cable.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: whaddayamean? comcast is one of the regional cable monopolies in usa.
asciilifeform: has been, for ages.
mircea_popescu: yes. and the deal described (~80 one time to install including the ~30 bux monthly fee + further 30 day reloads whenever you feel like and no contract or "credit checks" is how cable fucking works. it's what was installed in Romania starting 1993.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they did prior. but if not this - not a cable company. sorry.
asciilifeform: what they did prior was almost this.
mircea_popescu: so prior tyhey were almost cable company.
asciilifeform: except, for reasons unknown to me, they would extend the customer 30 days of credit (he'd get service then get 1st bill 30d later.)
asciilifeform: ditto telco. etc
asciilifeform: now that i think about it, the reason was obvious - get him to cough up dough for extras
asciilifeform: ('pay per view', etc)
asciilifeform: whereas now chumper will have to pre-load the acct.
mircea_popescu: the usg.corp bakes in usg.credit much like tmsr.everything bakes in tmsr.wot and for the same exact, purely political, reasons.
asciilifeform: american mobile telcos have, by and large, already switched to the prepaid model.
mircea_popescu: they don't want a world with us in it just like we don't want a world with them in it.
mircea_popescu: well yes, because we're winning the war of worlds, but anyway.
asciilifeform: i suspect that the logic was purely practical - the customers are no longer, by and large, creditworthy.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-22#1508757 << mp\s ancient idea, "have housing free for 20yo female students provided they never dress indoors". it made a decent penny.

mircea_popescu: then it got mainstreamized into "reality tv" or someshit, a whole franchise.
asciilifeform: sounds like some seriously overpriced naked chix pix
asciilifeform: (even if locale with very low rents)
mircea_popescu: at the time (mid 90s, ro) it wasn't in any sense overpriced.
asciilifeform: what did it cost to house 1 specimen ?
mircea_popescu: bout a hundred per head. you don't house them solo.
asciilifeform: well yes
mircea_popescu: you house them in conditions slightly better than they house themselves, which is 6 heads to the 3room apt.
asciilifeform: hundred what? usd ?
mircea_popescu: myeah. under that, really. food included.
asciilifeform: i wouldn't pay 100 usd/mo for pictures of chick
mircea_popescu: well you wouldn't do all sorts of things, principally because and since you'rfe not in the business of doing them.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why you'd pay, for, eg, cnc mill. but whatevs.
asciilifeform: i can only assume that mircea_popescu found someone who will pay 100+epsilon for it.
mircea_popescu: at the time sets cost ~2k per model.
mircea_popescu: sets you understand, ~hour-and-half.
asciilifeform: i never understood what was so great about professionally-produced pr0nz.
asciilifeform philistine.
mircea_popescu: that freerange female is ~idiot.
asciilifeform: does she need to be brilliant to display her bits ?
mircea_popescu: people who have contact with a lot of them break through the "o, she's an idiot, how endearing" phase of single-mating-male and become deeply irritated by even a faint hint of the well described idiocies. think of it much like how immune cascade/anaphilactic shock works.
asciilifeform can picture it.
mircea_popescu: showing off is more of a skill than being a feminism professor. it takes more work, and it is a more respectable accomplishment.
mircea_popescu: point in case : http://67.media.tumblr.com/6b3c86cf8995a714a1271f8a05d0f330/tumblr_nldoi2Hklx1uox454o1_500.gif << she, and ANY OTHER ONE LIKE HER, could blather endlessly about nonsense, just as well quality wise as ANY us female professor of nonsense. nevertheless, NO us female professor of nonsense could do that scene. maybe if she can afford to pay me a million to train her for eighteen weeks. but even then it's dubious.

asciilifeform: i suppose i'm roughly in the position of the quasi-deaf artillerist who goes to a mozart concerto.
mircea_popescu: now, i never understood the appeal of dressing cows in "business suits" and pretending like they're speaking when they moo. but then again i'm not in the business of running the us empire of pretense.
asciilifeform: i dun even grasp the appeal of pr0n with cocks in it.
asciilifeform: it is insta-turnoff.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform adding that to your anal illustrative inclination, i get the idea maybe you should try it!
asciilifeform: try which ?
mircea_popescu: try homo.
asciilifeform: it just doesn't appeal. can't help it.
asciilifeform: i will try it shortly after i dine on broken glass, nuts, bolts.
mircea_popescu: but all this aside, the "reality tv" put a half dozen 20yos in a house and film the drama bs made a billion easy.
