mircea_popescu: "It is their firm determination to mercilessly destroy anyone who dares hurt or attack the supreme leadership of the country even a bit." shit sounds like john cleese was the copywriter in charge.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can you name a film where the us president (named) is killed ?

mircea_popescu: in fact the monograph is a result of me getting sick of referencing it blind)

mircea_popescu: " When he stumbled on a road crew without a foreman one day, Cole leaped into the breach and directed the men to London’s busy Piccadilly Circus, where he had them excavate a huge trench in the street. A nearby policeman obligingly redirected the heavy downtown traffic all day, and it was several hours before the city noticed the unauthorized hole.”

mircea_popescu: 10mn a year people had been paying just for those, in the hopes htey'll sell them on to suckers. something tells me 2013 had not colected 10mn worth of chump money.

mircea_popescu: amusing how shitty psus became, incidentally. the originals usualy last > a decade. the replacements, maybe even 5 years.

mircea_popescu: i'm telling you, they'll be fine. you're thinking in terms of air movement removing heat, but even in a sealed case,

mircea_popescu: (this neatly dovetails in stan's "deform barbs" problem above : if you're building an army you don't want a 2nd cavalry, to argue with your 1st. you want an infantry too)

mircea_popescu: if an abstract "quality" value could be broadly associated, it went up a degree of magnitude each decade since 1960

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you should prolly look into it again. you thinkl moore law's a big deal, give a look at plastics.

mircea_popescu: artifexd: Water cooling sprung a leak and blew my power supply. I guess it could've been worse. << yes, actually. you could have been electrocuted.

mircea_popescu: so how do i leave a comment or anything to this tom guy ?

mircea_popescu: well did either make a profit ?

mircea_popescu: "For most older Americans, calling yourself a liberal means you want to increase the size, scope, and spending of the government"

mircea_popescu: "a sophisticated yet fun and funky tee." ?!

mircea_popescu: to have a view eyes are not enough to see, nor mouth enough to speak, nor even some ganglion to somehow connect these two. in order to have a view one must have the ability to evoke that view in another, preferably another who does not care.

mircea_popescu: a brick has no view.

mircea_popescu: what happened to those old days when in order to have a view one first had to persuade ?

mircea_popescu: well maybe that's overstating a point. but anyway.

mircea_popescu: you know they'll make you dine as a citizenship test ?

mircea_popescu: that was a short trip

mircea_popescu: so is it that some derp holding a worthless scamcoin he arbitrarily values at 1k btc got his worthless scamcoin "stolen"

mircea_popescu: it's a talent.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform etsy is a great place to meet famished young things. some pretty. some educable.

mircea_popescu: never waited more than a minute. walk up to street, lift hand. taxi is tere.

mircea_popescu: actualy, to put it in perspective, i've lived here for over a month, took > 100 rides, NEVER HAD TO CALL ONE.

mircea_popescu: the idea that there's a "global market" is beyond shoddy.

mircea_popescu: i can tell you that uber has 0 chances in romania, because i've never had a taxi be over 5 minutes, nor did i ever have a problem getting lost items back

mircea_popescu: dude srsly... how is this a country ?

mircea_popescu: " For most of America, prior to Uber it was impossible to predict how long it would take for a taxi to show up."

mircea_popescu: if there ever was a good signal to gtfo out of us stocks... i dunno what else it could be,.

mircea_popescu: "So here is the objective of this post. It is not my aim to specifically convince anyone that Uber is worth any specific valuation. What Professor Damodaran thinks, or what anyone who is not a buyer or seller of stocks thinks, is fairly immaterial."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem was 1mn btc sloshing together at a time the total circulating btc was like 5mn

mircea_popescu: why put a pike on display just to stab yourself on the eye with ? just don't mention statistics at all, and merely go on derping nudely, "i want uber to be worth moar"

mircea_popescu: "Young math students are warned about the critical difference between precision and accuracy. Financial models, especially valuation models, are interesting in that they can be particularly precise. A discounted cash flow model can lead to a result with two numbers right of the decimal for price-per-share. But what is the true accuracy of most of these financial models?"

mircea_popescu: so a lot of the heartache of discovering one is poor because one is stupid, not because one never "had a chance" is spared them.
