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)."
mircea_popescu: did you ever find the time to look into jurov's BN_copy/operator= stuff ?
mircea_popescu has set the goal at 30 days w/o oomkill on 16gb box, and even that took some engineering.
mircea_popescu: the destruction self-imposed blindness wreaks upon the lives of the wilfully blind is a pretty sad sight huh.
mircea_popescu: Even those miserable moments in January 2014, cycling through the icy rain to buy a single lemon, returning back to the dank cold warehouse, staring at the Dinnr backend, waiting in vain for orders to arrive."
mircea_popescu: "For these and other such moments, for the opportunity of having worked with a fabulous team and dedicated investors, it was worth doing it all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "fiecare pasare pre limba ei piere" being the romanian expression.
mircea_popescu is vaguely pleased that the war of the worlds is actually played out in the central ideological core of those worlds in question.
mircea_popescu: it's stupid, but it's exactly in line with how usg is stupid, so no big surprises here. by all means, they should have 'em.
mircea_popescu: it looks like trying to suck all the imbecile "talent"
mircea_popescu: right-o. because the one thing we're truly committed to, beyond anything and everything else, is that there MUST NOT BE any god in the god damned machine. what if there were and he started spewing death warrants and whatnot! no, no, gimme lukewarm mediocrity as a prior and let's see how well i do!
mircea_popescu: "No Deus ex Machina will come and challenge you in the right spots. This is why you got your own experience, both theoretical (those startup books DO help!) and practical for. You have to do it yourself."
mircea_popescu: what the everloving fuck is wrong with people already.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. "this stupid shit i did never works - clearly i must do more of it. surely if 5 grand worth of advertising is a waste, 5 mn is just the ticket. obviously every article in every "media outlet" i ever read that fell within my field of competence was below stupid, but clearly the way to inform oneself is to read more fishwraps."
mircea_popescu: "Having such detailed feedback wouldn’t require diving into the data, but having someone spend an hour stress-testing my thinking and assumptions would have been gold dust and could have prevented a lot of effort wasted. I’m sure I’d have gotten that had Dinnr been accepted into accelerator programmes such as Seedcamp, TechStars or Wayra. But absent a full-time co-founder, we weren’t eligible for the former two
mircea_popescu: "oh, i've went to all the witch doctors i could find, none of them knew anything" "have you tried the hospital ?" "wut"
mircea_popescu: "I really would have needed a critic who said:" /me points out to Michal Bohanes that he has published no ready means of contact. not that it matters, you'll see your name in google next you look for it. anyway : next fucking time, ask #b-a.
mircea_popescu: "Although I would say that I am reasonably well connected, have many startup CEO friends, go to events and am regularly speaking to mentors, no one ever sat down with me and systematically challenged me about the Dinnr concept."
mircea_popescu: and the chief instrument of this picking is "raising awareness". do you care that random IT offed another random IT ? no, because "hey, we only off each other". but maybe you should! if you were to care, how many wonderful things would become possible - none of which wonderful for you.
mircea_popescu: between mob-run ny, which functions smoothly and is culturally relevant and ghetto-choked baltimore, which does not function and is culturally irrelevant, the usg will pick the second every time.
mircea_popescu: the same exact process used in "policing" the ghetto, at the taxpayer's expense but in the usg's own private benefit is also what the us military does abroad. the point isn't for iraq to functyion or not, the point is for there to not exist any gaddafi's. let the euros deal with the fallout, what, that's what the castrated suckers are there for anyway.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: obviouisly if there WERE such a power, the actual damage actual working people suffered would be minimal, but this is at no point a consideration.
mircea_popescu: in this paradigm, it is not so important that there's mass theft or rape, just that there's no organized power behind it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-12-2015#1346223 << this is exactly correct, by the way. either the recent lafond piece or else your own familiarity with the ghetto will readily inform you that police activity is not directed at preventing theft or damage, but simply at preventing the emergence of large or powerful organisations that might in any way or to any degree challenge the sovereignity of the usg itself.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-12-2015#1346221 << seems the process they settled on is to write many thousands of pages, not as much on the theory that hey, eventually something in there will close (much like the random-wiring approach to making cpus), but moreover on the theory that then they can ACT as if it did, and you're welcome to challenge heh heh.
☝︎ mircea_popescu reviewed them in 2012. the answer was, come to think of it, very much like monero's. (oh hurr durr we're visionarily important and lalaal). so i decided to give them all the time they could possibly need to figure shit out and well...
mircea_popescu: same exact deal as for that de raadt fellow, or that auerheimer fellow, or everyone else actually.
mircea_popescu: time for the irresponsible, delusionally-secure "coders" to figure out they live in a world, and whether they're interested in this aspect or not is perfectly irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: ditch the idiots and come here on his own fucking motor power. i'm not going to ask him anything, the most i might do is nod.
mircea_popescu: and so now they gotta make this forced mistake. all the better.
