mircea_popescu: meanwhile in the harem files : girl makes blackforest chocolate cake, out of my magical 100
% chocolate bars. as per instructions adds very little sugar. item is ready, tiny slices are served, it's utterly delicious. then the calorie calculation is made. the 2kg cake has 4800 calories. girls decide they can not afford the calories.
ben_vulpes: mod6: i'll do the 5 for 0.7838890 btc; that's a 10
% markup from pizarro's cost plus ~20usd for shipping
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm going to roll the FGs into the rental cost of the machine; 20
% markup for a year paid up front for the whole kit and caboodle if that passes with you
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i can give you a pretty steep discount for paying the year up front, but because i'm building out the downline i want to keep the box on the balance sheet. how about a 20
% markup on the machine if you pay for the whole year?
☟︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: there was also an ad for some kind of novel pharmacofinelyspunhydrocarbon for the sexually-active-but-wanting-to-not-catch-teh-HIV (which, excuse me darling, why are they advertising us aidsmeds on the craplet) that was 30

https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.06038 << "on a subset of 3,759 contracts which we sampled for concrete validation and manual analysis, we reproduce real exploits at a true positive rate of 89
%, yielding exploits for 3,686 contracts"
mircea_popescu: from the civillian pov, "yes, it's all the same". meanwhile 1
% summed over ten thousand iterations, which is what civilisation is, comes to... guess.
mircea_popescu: the problems of governance is that you're stuck choosing between 50

% gain and 48
% loss 56
% gain sorta deals. there's no "solutions".
a111: Logged on 2018-02-17 04:55 asciilifeform: it so happens that asciilifeform has purchased a 50
% stake in bisp. and specifically with one condition: that mircea_popescu (named, concretely) will not be a back-seat driver there.
mod6: you figure, one in ten should make it, then you get your 5
%.
mircea_popescu: because, obviously, if i lend to someone who has 10
% chances of surviving, i want 10x my money so i can lend to ten of them and get a (slight, 5
% sort of slight) profit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the formula above stands : the capital (1 above) multiplied by the discount rate (1.05 above) multiplied by the survival odds (3 in the 33
% survival rate example ; could as well be 10 in the 10
% survival rate example, which iirc is what start-ups historically do)
mircea_popescu: (this, incidentally, is why us real estate first time buyers pay 6
% even though the fed rate is .75
% ; and this is HOW fed rates drive monetary policy. see ?)
mircea_popescu: if his survival rate is 85
%, he pays FOUR TIMES the discount rate.
mircea_popescu: mod6 consider it with numbers. if a guy's survival probability is 95
% and the discount rate is 5
%, then for every coin he pays to service his debt, HALF covers the 95
% and the other half the actual opportunity cost.
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, in this sense -- 33
% being the indemnity cost?
mircea_popescu: if i lend a btc to a guy, in a market where the discount rate (what AVERAGE capital returns are as per a, like the "cost of hotel rooms in this season/city) is 5
% and whose survival rate is 33
% hanbot: sure, fine logs starting today. what were the "discussions" variously mentioned, that led to this point? what, if anything, has been the resolution of the problem in which 50

mircea_popescu: but getting back to the previous lulz,
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-17#1784318 is remarkably nutty. so you liquidate my bonds at an (avoidable) cost of .8, in exchange for a 50
% equity position and... what commitment exactly ? if for instance you need money next month, what do you do ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100
% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: And further mind a brief investigation of the local labor market yielded:
http://archive.is/Hp01G#selection-3125.0-3125.286 "Una buena empresa donde trabajar si uno quiere desarrollarse, ya que siempre hay nuevas oportunidades. Se aprende una forma de trabajo completamente diferente a la que uno está acostumbrado en Uruguay. La gente que tiene uno a su lado es en el 99
% increíble. Es lo que mas se destaca."
mircea_popescu: (in other lulz, the price of that thing went up about 15
% since it was first mentioned. hurr durr.)
ben_vulpes: how about this us stock market blowoff: 9
% loss in less than a month! stocks clearly too volatile to be worth anything as grownup investments.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo ahahaa 6.6 grand pre their derpy tax for mounts ? << Before the 22

mircea_popescu: hey, come over. i'll show you where it is. odds of girlybutt > 100

mircea_popescu: but, in any case, more of a curio/bikeshed than anything i think. overclocking isn't likely to have more than a 1

ben_vulpes: well, no, we're talking like sub-1

mircea_popescu: well, if you're stuck with an overloaded rack for the few days till you get the other one up for instance, it's nice to know you've got a 20

% of classical antiquity is now off limits to what in english passes for "the civilised world".
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, that 50
% may be severely understated -- i can't think of a girl that actually likes boys. even if not gay, the selection on tap is such that... well...
mircea_popescu: btw, speaking of the pizdi thing : can you even for a second believe thant 100

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what's wrong with fedexing it! << Box that enters the country via FEDEX is going to certainly get hit with customs and the 22
% IVA. Box that comes in suitcase is almost certainly going to get waved through as a personal effect. It's a math problem of whether to pay an import duty or plane ticket.
