diana_coman: hm, is there a clear convention re patch names ? using - or _ as separators? mod6's *very useful* guide at http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-September/000168.html seems to suggest _ but the collection of patches seems to use both - and _
mircea_popescu: mod6 mind adding the "no clearsigned material in patches -- you got the .sig for that" and "no '--- ' anywhere, you have been warned" rules to it ; and phf / everyone mind making it stick ?
mircea_popescu: noncompliant items can i guess go in 'experimental' or whatever ghetto.
mircea_popescu: let me change that : "no '--- ' anywhere, you have been warned" should read "no '--- ' or '+++ ' as first 4 characters of any line -- you have been warned"

BingoBoingo: In miscelanous reflections that ought to have made yesterday's log except for brain lag, on the small regional flight economy plus was totally worth it. Window, your seat, aisle, pair of suckers.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo, in Europe at least the "difference" between economy and business class on small regional flights is quite often a... curtain drawn to separate the 2 areas of the aircraft, but not much else (same seats, same space/lack of it, same food if you really need airplane-food on a 2-3 hours flight)
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: There was no business class on the embraer 145, just "ecomomy" on the two seat side of the aisle and "economy plus" on the solo seat side
diana_coman: oh, really small plane
BingoBoingo: The embraer during take off had a feel like my saturn plastic car, that there just might not be enough power to pull off this aviation thing
diana_coman: hm, if I'm looking at the right model it still is some reasonable size; I flew a couple of times to Rome on some 15-seats plane and that was always... interesting
BingoBoingo: From there it was a United 737-800 which gave off a 90's vibe in its plastic, especially compared to the Copa 737-800 which was new but full of infants
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i had a ride in an even tinier thing in ro, even had propellers
BingoBoingo: diana_coman asciilifeform Ah, it's a plane that seems to find its niche in routes that have demand to be done frequently, but only so many people at a time

BingoBoingo did meet some very nice venezualans last night

asciilifeform: 'The Restatement (Second) of Torts § 559 lists “membership in the Ku Klux Klan” as the quintessential illustration of a defamatory statement. In an opinion piece in The Detroit News, columnist Bankole Thompson asserted that radio show host James Edwards is a “leader” of the Ku Klux Klan. There is no record evidence to suggest that Edwards holds a formal leadership position in the Ku Klux Klan, nor is there any record evidence
asciilifeform: this lack of formal relationship, Edwards has espoused views consistent with those associated with the Klan and, equally as important, he has repeatedly and publicly embraced several individuals who are strongly associated with the Klan. Mindful of Aesop's lesson, “A man is known by the company he keeps,” 1 we hold that Edwards cannot make claims of defamation or invasion of privacy and affirm summary disposition in favor of defe

mircea_popescu: diana_coman you should prolly have version numbers on these by now. testpatch-16
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, tbh I lost count; more like delete and create whole thing again, on the verge of making bash scripts for each project anyway
mircea_popescu: the hardest thing when reforming bad workflow is to... actually reform anything.
mircea_popescu: cleaning, always and forever the same damned thing.
diana_coman: will try without that readme file change anyway as that's more of an artefact of having run make clean (which deleted it too)
diana_coman: not in any way a point of the patch
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you made small mistake :
asciilifeform: you stripped the dir 'mpi' when you made your diff
asciilifeform: diff/patch is not insensitive to directory structure, or it could not handle dirs at all. in original we have 'a/mpi/bin/README', in yours there is instead 'a/bin/README'.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ever measure the voltage of a dead watch battery ?
mircea_popescu: consider it this way : the lazy dumb fat women banded together to produce a joint report as to what they think things should be like. they call it "jezbel" or w/e. it keeps changing.
mircea_popescu: the lazy stupid poor "people themselves" banded together to produce a joint report as to how worthless they think everything about them is, in bitcoin terms.
mircea_popescu: they call it "bitcoin price", except it's obviously the dollar price.
mircea_popescu: that's all it is : how little the poor think their shit's worth.
asciilifeform: exchange-rate-as-scalar is as serious a misconception as battery-voltage-as-scalar .
mircea_popescu: "exchange rate" dun enter into this. think of it as a petition on change.org signed by everyone in the herd.
asciilifeform: i.e. a work of dope-addled fiction ?
asciilifeform: why to even bother having the ticker, then
mircea_popescu: "i think 2 bitcents should buy more than just my daughter. like 50x more."
asciilifeform: we dun have a change.org ticker here..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, an item of self-description.
mircea_popescu: "i am not worth a whole bitcoin".
mircea_popescu: that's all it is. voluntary self-denial on the part of the worthless.
asciilifeform: except 'worth of 1 bitcoin' is a defective item conceptually, like 'position of electron'
mircea_popescu: why ? some girls had the sense to peg it, some girls are still waiting. it's the perfect nonperson humiliator, this. "if i hold out my tits will be worth more" "ahahahaha, really ?"
asciilifeform: it's a propagating error, like div0, to include it in a logical chain is fatal, regardless of how correct the rest
asciilifeform: whether it works as a humiliator, or spiked club, or tension wrench, is orthogonal question
mircea_popescu: the funny thing being that it's EXACTLY how everthing else works. you didn't http://trilema.com/2013/whore-strat/ at 15 yo because "school" ? lol. YOU LOST.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun think i follow. come again ?
asciilifeform: it can work as a humiliator, just as electron can carry out useful work; but just as we do not reference electron's exact position , it is mistake to reference 'worth of bitcoin'
mircea_popescu: about 5 passes of this "it has nothing to do with bitcoin" and it still didn't take or what are we doing here ?
mircea_popescu: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BITCOIN. the "bitcoin price" is a statement of the worthless herd as to its own perceived worthlessness. bitcoin dun enter into it.

mircea_popescu: when some schmuck writes on his employment application "salary sought - $50", this is not a statement on the value of the dollar.

mircea_popescu: as far as the puppy is concerned -- deeper bow.
mircea_popescu: as far as wot is concerned, exactly like you say, div0, what the fuck do we care. we knew they're worthless going in.
asciilifeform: but how much truth is there in the statement ? picture if mircea_popescu were to drink a defective batch of rum, and goes with 10k btc to a gox. do you for a moment think that they will come up with 1.5e8 usd that day, to give for it ?
mircea_popescu: there can never be any truth in a statement made by the wotless.

mircea_popescu: it's all feeling.
mircea_popescu: that aside, experimentally BingoBoingo produced a gangster roll out of a btc.
asciilifeform: i suppose expert veterinarian might be able to distinguish 'bleats because indigestion' from 'bleats because inside is half-eaten-up by worms'. but asciilifeform cannot.

mircea_popescu: all you can get is the whole world, and it costs ever less btc, seeing how the "rate" has to also account for everyone's dreams.

asciilifeform: well not whole world, but $coin/22e6 's cut.
diana_coman: is there some documented process re how to create with V basically a new project that will contain as *internal* components derivations of existing projects? for example: eucrypt will have inside an mpi component; as seen earlier, I can patch mpi directly, but then how do I include the result in a higher structure? can I even do it while preserving the links? (I guess it would mean that resulting project has effectively 2 roots: one the ge
diana_coman: nesis of eucrypt itself and one the genesis of mpi)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: let's carefully specify the question: what means 'internal'
asciilifeform: and 'inside'
asciilifeform: you are using gcc for a linker, neh. it takes arbitrary paths ( observe how i did it in ffa ch.1, it was deliberately illustrative )
mircea_popescu: so how do i patch mpi to become eucrypt/mpi ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I can compile it certainly wherever it is; but can I press with V eucrypt with eucrypt/mpi and eucrypt/serpent let's say?
asciilifeform: that part isn't puzzling, it's a straight patch on top of second_cut
diana_coman: hm, I thought I need a/mpi b/mpi ; can I have ..what, a/mpi and b/eucrypt/mpi?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: in the contemplated example, are eucrypt/mpi and eucrypt/serpent plug-in alternatives for each other ?
diana_coman: no, separate parts that eucrypt uses
asciilifeform: there are fundamentally 2 ways to go about using a vtronic item as a component in another. one is to subsume it into your own
asciilifeform: so in that case it is a linear parent ( grandparent etc ) of your item.
asciilifeform: the other is to preserve the two lineages as separate, but to link your item against e.g. mpi.a , and to insert the latter's hash into your vtree, to proclaim the linkage -- as i did with the binariola schematic jpegs in FG genesis.
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu expressed a strong preference for the ~former~ approach, at one point
asciilifeform: asciilifeform prefers the latter. but this is a fundamental sort of decision, i'd ask mircea_popescu , it's his proggy
asciilifeform: it is exceedingly difficult to revise this kind of thing at a later time.
asciilifeform: i'll add only that imho it matters just how strongly-coupled your outer proggy is with the library
asciilifeform: if loosely -- continuation of parallel v-lineages could make sense. if tightly -- marry'em.
asciilifeform: ftr i have no intention of amending mpi myself . if at some time i discover a new kochism therein, i will vdiff against diana_coman's mpi-containing entity
asciilifeform: ( what was asciilifeform going to do with mpi ? there was plan, for 1 further cut, of the logger and the allocator. but i put it in cold storage when began work on ffa . )
diana_coman: asciilifeform, can you work me through the steps to "subsume it into your own"? I don't yet see clearly what that is
asciilifeform: it means that you simply lift the code from the press.
asciilifeform: when drawn in phf's viewer, this will appear as a graph with two genesisen. which mircea_popescu seems to have allergy for, for some reason. but there is nothing outrageous mechanically about it.
asciilifeform: the important aspect is to avoid the mistake asciilifeform made early on in vtronic era, with 'tinyscheme' proggy
asciilifeform: where the linkage was ~not~ mechanically clear, because it appeared merely as a set of external symbols inside trb, rather than a proper lift of the files
asciilifeform: draw how you want the graph to look. and only then make the diffs. not vice-versa.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform preference or no preference it'll have to be reground
asciilifeform: i'ma make a small cartoon example, brb
mircea_popescu: because having projects incorrectly structured in directories is suicidal.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you'd make a new genesis, for eucrypt, and patch it with mpi. this patch will share no .sigs with the other mpi it is text-identical to
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what two genesises ?
trinque: with the giant netsplit earlier, I'm skeptical it's the host.
asciilifeform: naturally if yer simply gonna unzip and piss over the vtronic aspect where nobody has to hand-diff 300kB of liquishit -- then yes you dun have 2 genesis.
diana_coman: at some point it seemed it was only me and scriba in chan, lol
trinque: thing's been on that host for months now
asciilifeform: you have instead 300kb of liquishit that seemingly appeared out of thin air.
mircea_popescu: trinque do i unban it ?
asciilifeform: and that you are now responsible for as if you had written it.
trinque: mircea_popescu: I'll peek at logs real quick, then let ya know. it hasn't reconnected since the netsplit
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether clear with me if this discussion unearthed a fundamental bug in v design whereby we have no good way to import projects.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck exactly can't i move project/a to master/project/a through a patch ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman if every single patch you release is a genesis ( i.e. previously existing items are lifted with paste ) then you may as well simply publish signed tarballs, you are not actually using v
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can: diff ~the patch~
asciilifeform: you end up with easily readable patch consisting of changed dirs.
mircea_popescu: so then why can't she simply move the mpi/ dir into eucrypt/mpi/ and proceed ?
asciilifeform: she can. i simply just nao thought of it, lol.
asciilifeform: was gonna instead have long painful argument re structures that goes nowhere!111
asciilifeform: but nao dunhaveto.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman ^ that solve it ?
diana_coman: well yes, that was my initial proposal and question "is it possible?" ; if yes, then all nice and cool
mircea_popescu: it'd better be fucking possible because the alternative is madness.
mircea_popescu: as one man said to another once, "if the design impedes you, this will be no problem, as we'll fucking make a new design"
diana_coman will attempt it with some time to spare
asciilifeform: i'd volunteer to make this surgery but doesn't mg have programming folx on retainer..
asciilifeform: make'em do it.
asciilifeform: pretty straightforward op.
asciilifeform: for that matter, order'em to make the 'make' clean properly. also straightforward op. what kind of people cannot set up a make.
asciilifeform: programmers see kindness as weakness, diana_coman . borrow a spiked bat from mircea_popescu , it will work wonders.
asciilifeform: meanwhile in heathendom : http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/12/07/1 >> '...Debian switch from gpg1 to gpg2... After getting gpg and agent running, I noticed, that not reliably stopping the gpg-agent on initrd would introduce a private key data leak via /proc from early boot process to running system when stopping fails...' and,
asciilifeform: '...we found out, that the specification of the "--s2k-count" parameter, which specifies the number of rounds of key deriviation function to unlock the private key, has changed from gpgv1 to gpgv2, so that it is ignored in gpg2 but does not cause any warning or error.'
asciilifeform: and various other lulz.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eventually we are gonna need a sane replacement for unix diff/patch. one that not only has e.g. selectable hashtronics but knows what movement and deletion of files is
asciilifeform: ( unix diff pointedly does not, interprets it as vanishment-into and reappearance-from thin air )
asciilifeform: asciilifeform complained repeatedly about this from aug 2015 and onward.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. the stub is in log, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-06#1747792

asciilifeform: diana_coman: ty ! i'ma link to yours.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman could the patches be actually inline and not merely reference ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, they could, there's no question there; but they are text as it is, not sure what the big gain is (and it would end up in a very long thing)
diana_coman: more like forcing one to see them I guess
asciilifeform: i do regret having used name 'sane-mpi', there is very little sane about it except strictly in contrast with the original material
asciilifeform: every single numerical operation, including addition, time-leaks.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman well, for readability.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, aha; well, sane-by-comparison to the clusterfuck that is whole GnuPG (I DID go through THAT too initially)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i don't mean re this, necessarily. mpi as an import is one thing
mircea_popescu: but in general.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ah, in general it will be, yes; this is quite particular as it is a rather big block of not-totally-sane code that is imported basically
diana_coman: in general the discussion will also stick much closer to the code

a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 20:49 hanbot: I don't recall ever seeing cleaning crews near the river. or anywhere other than the esquinas of convenience stores. anyway, if they're anything like their southern neighbors ~everyone you meet will warn you about pickpockets/bag snatchers, to the degree someone who doesn't offer such warnings is by that sign a potential friend ;)
mircea_popescu: wallets are for pussies.
mircea_popescu: a man sized clip will hold a whole brick (ie, 100 bills, 50k eur or 10k usd or 5mn colones or w/e), unfolded.
asciilifeform: sounds conspicuous-at-airport tho.
mircea_popescu: hey. they did want to count mine when i landed. i... didn't cooperate (but i did let them watch while i did, so there was that)
mircea_popescu: but anyway, part of gangster notion is that conspicuous is other people's problem.
asciilifeform: i almost expected mircea_popescu to say 'what airport, i have own diplomatic pouch system'
asciilifeform: 'why would i carry money, i just put it in glove box in the tank'
mircea_popescu: flying tank ?
asciilifeform: flies on the antonov, naturally.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the us is pretty ridiculous. upscale dinner for two can readily run you a grand or two, yet none of the walkers have that much on them.
asciilifeform: eating what, baby panda ?
mircea_popescu: what happens if you run into http://trilema.com/2014/the-romanian-language-for-other-people/ "hey babe wait right here i gotta spend an hour queuing at the bank" ?
asciilifeform: or does the figure include plane ticket to a place with actual food
mircea_popescu: most starred restaurants are a few hundy to maybe a grand a plate.
mircea_popescu: i get it, you don't powerlunch there every day. but if you run into a gal that takes your breath away... wouldn't it be the proper time ?
asciilifeform: few hundy i saw. grand -- not yet, these are probably the ones where you gotta know somebody, knock on the unmarked door five times etc
mircea_popescu: im not even sure how they run it stateside anymoar, for lack of much caring.
asciilifeform: hey i dun have any ideological problem with 'kilobuck restaurant', i spend similar sum on e.g. hdds regularly
asciilifeform: i just have nfi what drug would have to take to want to pay kilobux for americana
mircea_popescu: that's not the problem ; the problem (esp in the "western" world ) is that it'll still be sysco.
mircea_popescu: hence my lack of caring.
asciilifeform: kilobuxxor per biped buys a weekend trip to ro, ftr, and several doses of RealPhood
asciilifeform: ( granted not on the 1stclass deck with comfy sofa bed. but -- buys. )
mircea_popescu: someone should actually make a strippers-and-roman-banquet airline.
asciilifeform: i'll subscribe.
mircea_popescu: .7 attendants per passenger, "no means yes, of course" as company policy, and they feed you grapes manually.
mircea_popescu: sell the tickets for 10k or w/e, it'll be more than the strippers make anyway.
asciilifeform: i think they already have a 10k. but without stripper.
mircea_popescu: bout 10% of the 3bn male population would save to go just to be able to say "Went"
asciilifeform: lol, like mecca
asciilifeform: did 'concord' have strippers ?
mircea_popescu: talk about "efficient market hypothesis". this is A LOT more in demand than pink ipad covers, for instance. "oh but mp, pink ipad covers aren't illegal!" o ya ? ALSO more in demand than cocaine.
mircea_popescu: nobody does a line for any other reason than to THINK they're there. so make it a reality, more margin that way.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform concord passage never cost 10k either.
asciilifeform: how in-demand ~is~ cocaine anyway
mircea_popescu: bout a trillion a year's worth or so.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc last set of tickets was 20k ea. or sumthinglikethat
mircea_popescu: well, "last set". i'm not talking collector cunt here.
mircea_popescu: "nrfb" is not a positive for women.
mircea_popescu: !~google nrfb

asciilifeform: 'Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper es capitán de la Armada norteamericana, ingeniero, y por dos veces parte de la tripulación de misiones del Shuttle. Pero Heidemarie no es famosa por poseer este impresionante currículo. Lo es por haber perdido una bolsa de herramientas en la misión STS-126 y por haberse desmayado dos veces en la rueda de prensa que dio la tripulación del STS-115 (su primera misión) nada más aterrizar.'
mircea_popescu: at first i thought made up name
asciilifeform: i also thought!
asciilifeform: gotta wonder, did she marry an equally sad ru engineer or wat
asciilifeform: whence the hyphenated monstrosity
mircea_popescu: i don't expect the hyphenating kind would put the husband first.
mircea_popescu: she married some idiotic lawyer turned lobbyist by the name piper
asciilifeform: goodpoint

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oh and in "social media was invented to entertain me" reprints, me : how goes it ? 19yo f iowa : "dying inside casually. you ?" me : "here's yachting pics." << win
mircea_popescu: im vaguely wondering what a 2000 born iowan even makes of a boat pic.
mircea_popescu: all these kids born after the world went to shit. "vhs america" indeed.
asciilifeform: not as if typical 1990s usainmate ever went on boat.
asciilifeform: or 80s, or prior.
mircea_popescu: back before 2001/1990s/bush/etc happened, the remnants of "male culture" were actually headed towards a boaty paradise, i suspect.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> btw i keep resisting but now gotta ask, how big exactly is a 'gangstaroll' ? when i went to ro i was able to pack a coupla kilobux , is all that will comfortably fold in normal human wallet << I packed $20 bills for convenience
mircea_popescu: but then they got deskilled a little and well...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo not so smart ; outside of us nobody ever uses anything other than 100s
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform real gangsters use clips. << rubber bands, hence roll
asciilifeform: i distinctly recalled mircea_popescu wrote this, and went through some bother to obtain Troo Benjies
mircea_popescu: argentina had a 5-10% fine for having not-100s.
mircea_popescu: uruguay maybe not. but still, the general idea is... 20s are for inzeks. 100s are for outzeks.
asciilifeform: ro moneychangers waltzed'em through 3 kinds of magical voodoo box, in disbelief, before disgorging orcbux
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> sounds conspicuous-at-airport tho. << for flight were flay stacked in obvious blue vinyl banker's bag
trinque: asciilifeform: what? I spent big chunks of youth idle time with my dad trying to kill me behind a boat.
asciilifeform: trinque: yer not a typical inmate tho, neh
mircea_popescu: he's a typical texan.
mircea_popescu: not everyone is from the littoral shitholes.
trinque: I guess yeah, texan thing. dad would get drunk all day, try to murder the kids on a tether behind boat.
asciilifeform: from this 1 sentence, for instance, we learn that trinque had a father. my current understanding is that typical usa children do not, they grow up bastards
mircea_popescu: not in texas.
asciilifeform: interesting.
mircea_popescu: in the southwest men will actually pick up (the otherwise very submissive) women with children and parent them anyway.
mircea_popescu: in fact there's a lot of ethnographic and social difference across the "nation" which isn't. that the pantsuit don't know about it... well... they don't know about anything else, either, do they.
mircea_popescu: but for the sake of historical record, the very traditional central european "you may not say no to a man ; and ESPECIALLY not sexually" lands, ie from south carolina south and west as far as maybe eastern arizona, provide slut protection, in that "and if you end up alone with three kids before you're 30 i won't hold that against you".
mircea_popescu: the "feminist misery" as overrepresented in pantsuit media is mostly the result of urban californite reinterpretation of 1800s era boston puritanism. "if you're enjoyable you lose at life". makes for the obese, neurotic, deeplyh unhappy "queers" and whatnots.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the east coast moved to a very mechanicistic "if you can't engineer you're a failed bioexperiment", which makes for a slightly differenty flavour of very unhappy, somewhat overweight neuroticoball.
asciilifeform: where are all of these engineers.
trinque: asciilifeform: none, but they're miserable they aren't
mircea_popescu: hey, europe spent five centuries going "o noes, sin" and where are all the saints.
asciilifeform: and what in usa was engineered, since, idk, reagan's reign
mircea_popescu: the absence of engineers is not germane to this discussion. we're talking sociology here.
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : women will fail at anything they set their mind to. of course they would. that's the point of life on earth, everyone does it, what can you say. ars will stay longa.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the manner in which they recount this failure to themselves varies by place and culture.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo not so smart ; outside of us nobody ever uses anything other than 100s << I have yet to see another confirmed gringo here, but the idea with 20's is more of them and single one is an amount suitable for what alf would call "human" transactions.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
mircea_popescu: course irl you just visit exchanger now and again.
BingoBoingo: The big fear was after the argentard stories being surrounded by poor, stupid folk.
mircea_popescu: how's that playing out ?
BingoBoingo: Most except the destitute I have met so far at least put on airs of "middle class" or "aspiring elite"
BingoBoingo: Much humility here so far.
BingoBoingo: Stupidity yet to be determined
BingoBoingo: Have yet to find any stories of unofficial exchange rate out of sync with official one, but given alquilar en pesos y comprar en dollares... seems probable there is one
mircea_popescu: nah. more like historical issue than spot fx.
mircea_popescu: they don't like to save in the local currency of a tiny mismanaged we-produce-nothing "corporation"
mircea_popescu: they prefer a larger one. apparently tbtf is a thing in human cognition.
BingoBoingo: I have yet to meet an Uruguayan who introduced Trump to any conversation.
BingoBoingo: I am at this point very unsure if the Uruguayans view politics as anything other than an operations discussion on how to extract value from stupid Argentine spending.
BingoBoingo: "Come to Montevideo, It's like Buenos Aires but quieter and less shitty"
mircea_popescu: this is entirely possible.
mircea_popescu: they totally own the abortion market, at that.
BingoBoingo: And the banking market
asciilifeform: iirc there was a trilema re 'abortionferry'
asciilifeform: sails out with full uteri, back -- empties
mircea_popescu: well... very close shaved ones anyway
mircea_popescu: i dun think most people realise how close curetage is to a really bad shave that's 2 layers too close.
asciilifeform: shaved, or perhaps vacuumed ( moar modern ) etc
asciilifeform: iirc in early phase can skip the 'shave'
BingoBoingo: Lol, there's so many ads on the street for hair removal
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform people dumb enough to get caught in a country which requires ferry trip for disposition rarely make anything like an early phase.
asciilifeform can picture this.
mircea_popescu: plus, for an argentine any expenditure over ~40 cents requires a bank loan.
mircea_popescu: i was standing in a shop to buy a ream of socks and shit, and this dork before me, ENTIRELY in the european academic geddup, including the ugly colors, the jersey, the bag over shoulder etc paid for ONE PAIR worth ~3 bux with a credit card.
BingoBoingo saw one payday lender at mall vs many bill pay offices
mircea_popescu: i was like "aren't you ashamed of yourself" and he pretended like he doesn't know i'm talking to him. EXACTLY like clinton & friends.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly could be 'trying to be american', carries 0 moneys
asciilifeform: over here people nao pay parking meters with cc.
mircea_popescu: if you need someone to lend you money for socks as a 50yo male you really have no excuse to be here.
BingoBoingo: Many of the larger shops offer discounts for card payments, apparently in retail that is a way to recover some VAT
mircea_popescu: and ESPECIALLY don't try the womanly "wisdom" angle. a male that dumb has nothing to impart by the definition of terms.
BingoBoingo: But always on debit cards
asciilifeform: waiwat what wisdom
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo over two bucks ? take 5 more minutes and have to sign shit ? what's the per-transaction risk cost to the card, ie, if your time were free and your pen were free, how much is the maximum card value capped at to make this purchase not a loss ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The retailers offering this are not ones where one easily spends only 2 bucks
mircea_popescu: back when i had (company) cards a decade ago, i used them to cover >1k bills at large wholesalers, not $300 at the restaurant. and EVEN SO it was iffy.
BingoBoingo: It's mostly the higher end looking clothiers and restaurants in Montevideo shopping.
mircea_popescu: because the per-usage cost of fraud upon a credit card is like 1.5-1.8% of its total net value. meaning if your account is worth over 100k lifetime, you can't afford to use a card to pay less than a coupla k's. and if your account is worth LESS than 100k lifetime there's no fucking reason you could possibly have to use a bank for anything.
BingoBoingo: Further from Montevideo Shopping and the WTC, the discount signage disappears
mircea_popescu: ask them for a cash discount, for lulz.
mircea_popescu: i usually get 5-10-15% here.
mircea_popescu: "y... me descuenta por efectivo ?", best magic words ever.
BingoBoingo: So far change for a $20 bill is consistently being rounded in my favor to avoid burdening me with coins.
asciilifeform: in usa, ( at least for plebes and on paper, actual practice is moar complicated ) vendors are saddled with the fraud cost.
mircea_popescu: o, they have pretty cool coins in uruguay iirc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's what you naively think ; but not in practice.
BingoBoingo: The coins are cool, but... they cover 10 pesos on down so that's a lot of metal
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: naturally in the end konsoomer is made to pay, it is rolled into prices.
asciilifeform: however the cc-abstainers get to , here's the beauty, pay the same prices..
mircea_popescu: nevermind the end consumer. look into business owners / middle class experiences, the net is fulla "oh, they have this bank acct they won't let me close that keeps getting dinged by fraudsters and they charge me"
asciilifeform: these yes. hence 'vendors'
mircea_popescu: us bank account is insanity on the face, i was discussing the (at the time still somewhat sane) eurolands.
asciilifeform: they get raped.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, no. as the BUYER.
asciilifeform: right, if yer a corporate acct ( even a microscopic one ) you get the rapestick.
mircea_popescu: well what the fuck, am i going to pay with taxed money ?
mircea_popescu: da fuck is this nonsense.
asciilifeform: in other great-agains , https://archive.is/wbVbJ >> 'Google plans to increase to 10,000 the number of its staffers tasked with tracking down extremist content on YouTube. "We will continue the growth of our teams, with the goal of bringing the total number of people across Google working to address content that might violate our policies to over 10,000 in 2018," YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki told Britain's Daily Telegraph in an intervie
asciilifeform: w. Wojcicki said that "bad actors" had used the video-sharing site to "mislead, manipulate, harass or even harm" others.'
mircea_popescu: hey. "generate employment"
mircea_popescu: ~all of the pantsuit only has one economic utility left, and that is to "police" the web for anything deviating from their worldview.
