artifexd: Messi (Argentina) is still playing and has 4 as well. But in order for 905 to resolve as yes, one of them will have to score another 4 goals. Unlikely, in my opinion.
cazalla: i bet no a few times but it's still a chance if it's a Germany v Argentina final, which is my guess
artifexd: I don't think Germany will pass Brazil. I'd like to see Germany win, but I doubt it.
asciilifeform: unrelated - nick szabo is back?
artifexd: It isn't that I think Brazil is a better team. They're not. I think the refs are paid off.

dub: BingoBoingo: I like how the journalist is a butthurt creditor too
BingoBoingo: dub: Funny how this works? Most "Bitcoin Journalism" being carried out by either Butthurt creditors or soon to be Butthurt creditors.
decimation: asciilifeform : based on your hostname I assume you have a comcast "business" account to get 100 meg
asciilifeform: decimation: verizon
decimation: is it symmetric?
asciilifeform: decimation: nope. ~35 out.

asciilifeform: decimation: you can buy pretty much arbitrary bandwidth from them, the physical connection (fiber) is all the same.
decimation: I think the fios is actually time-multiplexed at the box in the ground near your house somewhere
asciilifeform: decimation: in these parts, the multiplexers are nailed to poles.
asciilifeform: decimation: pay more, get fatter slice.
asciilifeform: my own needs are very modest.
decimation: it's nice to have the peak capacity when you want it though
asciilifeform: yes, it is.
decimation: I actually am on asymmetric DSL
decimation: mainly because I am unwilling to hand verizon or comcast a single penny if I can avoid it
asciilifeform: funny part is, the net pipe is really the only thing around here that actually works as advertised. the mains, water, sewer - i had detectable problems with. the fiber - never.
decimation: I had a discussion with a guy who was high up in PEPCO once about the "mass panic" after the power outages after the "derecho" storm
decimation: I asked if their plan was to simply wait until everyone forgets about the situation and do nothing, and he confirmed that was the case
asciilifeform: an outage that lasts a week or so is not 'zombie apocalypse' - however, any longer and you learn things like http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-06-2014#735017

decimation: there was a TV show where they sampled the Potomac water going into the washington water system intake, and then sampled it going out
decimation: there were many strange organics that were hardly attenuated by the "purification" process
asciilifeform: decimation: pharma crud.
decimation: yeah, mostly that plus some industrial stuff
asciilifeform: some of these are very stable (if it survives your metabolic paths, it will probably survive the treatment plant)
decimation: wrt to the HMMWV: you were able to buy the whole truck for $700? Or just the radio?
asciilifeform: truck. but i didn't buy it
decimation: you would probably have to pay golden toliet prices for the parts
asciilifeform: (realized that it would be ruinously expensive to fuel.)
decimation: heh that too
asciilifeform: plus i have no real use for such a thing
asciilifeform: but there it was.
decimation: it was probably some junk in the DC armory that they parked somewhere "for security" or whatever
asciilifeform: it stood in a university surplus lot
asciilifeform: next to garbage trucks, buses, tractors, etc.
decimation: but it does reveal many truths about the way USG actually works, rather than the way everyone pretend it works
asciilifeform: decimation: it was the same kind - but not the particular truck pictured in the linked photo
asciilifeform: that one, if it wasn't clear, was spotted in the wild.
asciilifeform: and was not, afaik, advertised for sale.

decimation: oh I meant the truck in the picture, not the one you were offered
decimation: walking around DC during a "crisis" always turns up interesting bits of security hardware
asciilifeform: funny thing is, they trot out these ancient trucks every year
asciilifeform: on july 4 festival
asciilifeform: not on any semblance of parade, but just for 'security theatre'
asciilifeform: they contain (unarmed) grunts
decimation: I recall (in the 90's!) when you could walk into the capitol any time you wished with a metal detector screen
decimation: Back then you could also freely come and go to the mall during the 4th
asciilifeform: you can still come and go to the mall on the 4th
asciilifeform: if you can stomach the 'sardine can' trains
decimation: or the "checkpoints"
asciilifeform: they used to actually search people at the checkpoints
asciilifeform: but this year, saw no such thing
decimation: my biggest objection to the security theater is that it always devolves into a war on anything unusual
asciilifeform: usually it turns into a war on nail clippers, pocket knives, etc
decimation: "why are you carrying a non-functional computer onto the airplane sir"? "because I want to use it for parts"
decimation: if you just want to watch planes land, or trains go by, or boats sail past, like people over the centuries have done, you are suspicious
