mircea_popescu: liquidassets just being "acquihired" into the other dying usgtron.
mircea_popescu: "They will most likely not eat out of your hand if they can perceive you need them at first." << bwahahaha. they will not eat out of your hand if they perceive you need them ; and they will spend every dime they got to ignore you outright if they perceive you don't need them. so it goes.
mircea_popescu: shinohai they've been working doubletime to keep that thing afloat. pretty lulzy.
mircea_popescu: atever exists is at best a paraeconomical concern surviving more on ideological fit than in satisfying objective measures. what, if "customers" are dissatisfied with the usg food or pills dispensaries they'll do what exactly ?
mircea_popescu: However these companies made their life without you, most probably for years." << the fundamental delusion of start-up-ers is that the market is free and efficient, and therefore there exist objective measures of worth. the sad reality of life in socialist states (ie, any state that acquires through any means any measure of control on 10% of the production of the citizens or more) is that the market's distorted, and wh
mircea_popescu: "The promise is the following: a startup thinks it has an innovative solution. A startup thinks many other companies would pay for it.
mircea_popescu: who knew that answering a bunch of pre-made questions nobody could care less about and then trying to mechanically "datamine" them isn't as good an approach as "hey, check out X, she's exactly right for you"
mircea_popescu: (in other news, okcupid's "ai" matching system is an utter useless pos. my own network creates usable hits with a 50% probability or better, by the 100s/day - and i didn't even KNOW i know chicks on okcupid in the first place. their crapolade made me click no about five hundred times in a row.)
mircea_popescu: well attention seeking behaviours are the invisible glue that keeps society together n'est pas.
mircea_popescu: (the counter doth actually exist - men that genuinely hate women. i suspect the driver is that men are, for some inexplicable reason, actually petrified of cunt. it seems innate.)
mircea_popescu: but that unicorn, the woman that actually hates men, i've not encountered myself.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i've yet to meet a woman (not mayo-gendered abominations, i've really not met any nor do i intend to) that actually hated men. there's a very mean streak in women generally, but visible with the naked eye in just some, where they truly and irationally haet beta boys, for some definition of beta that may be at first confounding.
mircea_popescu: and no, there isn't a local equivalent. they're just primitive souls, computers = windows ; internet = facebook ; world = argentina etc scl.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : the grand total okcupid offering for "women < 30 > 1.70cm within the 15mn buenos aires conurbation active in the past day" is... half a dozen people. clearly okcupid's not doing advertising correctly amirite nubbins ? :D
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "any flaws were god-given ; any qualities are my own" is just another rewrapping of that stale old jeder nach seinen fahigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedurfnissen cumbiscuit.
mircea_popescu: what's "pussy crushing" anyway ? simply getting laid ? or some bizarre fetish i never heard about ?
mircea_popescu: apparently "yo bitch, wanna make some motherfuckin' money ?" works better on barefoot womenz.
mircea_popescu knew a pimp that actually had a day job - working in a mall shoe store.
mircea_popescu: if it's cuz you feel like it, then minesotta richboy's rather funny. if he's not funny, then wtf accomplishments were they.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, why the fuck would you be working a menial job if you've ever accomplished anything fo real ?
mircea_popescu: liquidassets there's something fundamentally wrong about those accomplishments.
mircea_popescu: Birdman yeah they've been blaring it out of all horns for a coupla days now. it makes a stark contrast to how quiet they'll be about the end results of this yet-another GTO (glorious tikrit offensive).
mircea_popescu: the internet became its own self-parody sometime in what, 1995 ?
mircea_popescu: really puts into perspective all the dumbass stevensons out there, doing srs bzns on teh interwebs.
mircea_popescu: (mostly because the skin is not designed to protect its insides from osmotic processes driven by outside chemicals)
mircea_popescu: soviet soap (like cheap usian soap, for that matter) is a kind of detergent. this isn't what good soap is.
mircea_popescu: yes, americans are poor and getting poorer. yes the Ministry of Packing Cattle Tighther has a solution.
mircea_popescu: in the sense that soviet soap was a start-up. "hey, it's this or not wash. what dove ?"
mircea_popescu: the difference being that businesses happen at the tip of a large pushing force, such as the airbnb scam pushed by paul graham-madoff, or such as "green energy" scam pushed by president bahamas-madoff. to be a start-up is exactly opposite to this, you're alone.
mircea_popescu: g anything but begging you to take their money ? here's a simple rule of thumb : if your start-up is not in this position where someone somewhere perceives he can't afford NOT to pay you, it's not a start-up. it might be a business idea, perhaps, but it can not be a start-up.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, back to castrato issues : "Waiting for customers, waiting for customers to make a decision, hoping a customer will say yes, waiting for the customer to sign the check after saying yes is a very long process. During this time, your company has to pay for expenses, costs and salaries." <<< jesus christ these people. why the fuck would you think a start-up is even a business at all if those customers are doin
mircea_popescu: which is why functioning brothels kill rape [actual rape].
mircea_popescu: no. it's that a lot of [actual] rapists have uncomfortably large penises, but also the oversexed traits to go with them
mircea_popescu: here's a fun fact : about half the actual rapes (not hurr durr i'm on social media and bored) require a fourchette stitch.
mircea_popescu: "Intelligence is caused by big feet; obesity by genetics" lol ima end up reading this blog huh.
mircea_popescu: so the shaman isn't ordering the clouds to cover the sun and sprout forth rain, but instead is commanding the crows to stop eating the cloud seeds so the clouds may spring forth etc ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the goal in that line wouldn't be the same "make better code", just, find any holes.
mircea_popescu: here's a hint : if the woman's not willing to suck your cock to impress you on the first date, she's not gonna be willing to suck it three years in.
mircea_popescu: "We granted a lot of discounts to get customers on board. For the sake of signing new and more cyclic contracts afterwards. The contracts never happened." luller.
mircea_popescu: in fairness tho, that node never sent txn (this is in the plan, eventually, to have a sort of dust-sender just to see what it does to memory)
mircea_popescu: some of which aren't even permanent (ie, subtle sorts of bugs, that only leak 100kb every other six hours once maybe, sorta thing)
mircea_popescu: if we manage to cut three chains we'll cut out twelve to seventeen different leak sources sorta thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect that a lot of the leaks are chained
mircea_popescu: jurov there's clearly something there, just, we aren't finding it is all.
mircea_popescu: liquidassets bitchiness in females is an unerring honest signal that the male they're paired with is short testosterone.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you will notice this is a desperation play (or, conversely, the result of decay)
mircea_popescu: "but it will necessarily kill you eventually" "yeah well... not today, buster"
mircea_popescu: "hey, at least it's getting me morphine and all this attention"
mircea_popescu: (on occasion monkey rapes patty hearst into doe-eyed submission, for instance)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think the love and hate part are mixed in about even proportions
mircea_popescu: "Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress 2012: I remember seing nice pictures of nice cocktails and nice restaurants from the business developers; I remember seing lots of appointments with potential customers; I remember it ended up with no customer but a partnership; I still do not know the cost of the operation, even as a cofounder." awww.
mircea_popescu: "One of the failures was clearly the will to spend all the money rather than to spend it wisely. " << ehehehe.
mircea_popescu: minor exceptions, such as "No. Once a man gives in he is through." << not so for a woman.
mircea_popescu: liquidassets very good. good enough to sign on, actually, even though I've not written it myself.
mircea_popescu: "The dating continued a couple of times more: I was definitely attracted by the innovation of the product (mining and mapping networks of Web content)."
