mircea_popescu: anyway, you want to pro-rate his warrants, you can do that. you want to kick them off the sheet altogether, "didn't complete
a term", you can also do that. you want to let them ride, "whatever, he can have the lot", you can also do that.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-06 02:25 ben_vulpes: i believe it's topologically identical to
a call option that doesn't expire with
a strike price of the "per share price".
mircea_popescu: in any case,
a ssw assignment is not the same as
a cash payment.
mod6: im so hungry i could eat
a sandwich from the gas station
ben_vulpes: i'm mock offended at the notion i'd let
a liability kick around off sheet
ben_vulpes: i believe it's topologically identical to
a call option that doesn't expire with
a strike price of the "per share price".
☟︎ ben_vulpes: nono, warrants are the right to purchase shares from the corporation at
a price.
mod6: Oooh, I see what it is. In the charter you were to be assigned 100`000 SSW at
a per share price of 0.00001 BTC each.
ben_vulpes: it's
a sticky position, being stuck between my jewish scruples and having zero desire to ding the isp pointlessly.
ben_vulpes: not that i want to not get paid, but i don't recall
a previous agreement
mod6: And going forward, we'd figure out
a price upon which you could consult.
mod6: That's what I was thinking ya. So instead of 1 BTC for
a whole year, as previously agreed, we'd pay ya for the months that you served.
mod6: Also, another bit of news: I've completed
a draft of the Pizarro report. We're needed three more pieces of information and
a second pair of eyes for review before it can be published. We're on it.
mod6: mircea_popescu: ah, well, I'll have him give it
a try then.
mod6: BingoBoingo will begin sending out invoices within 24 hours, for the month of September. If you need
a price quote before they go out, I can arrange that.
mod6: We have set
a price point for the month at Pizarro as well, that price is: $6745 USD/BTC
mod6: I propose that's what we pay ben_vulpes for his services; five months, February through June. And, I propose
a possible consulting fee for his assistance on the books going forward.
mod6: In other news: Today is BingoBoingo's first day as Pizarro Manager. Congrats to him! We'll be working closely together to ensure
a smooth transition over the next few months.
trinque: no, that's way too ambitious for first release. first release is just
a vtronic ebuild tree
a111: Logged on 2017-03-26 15:03 mp_en_viaje: basically
a novel vector of imperial attack seems to be this "let's take republican items and ~EXPAND~ the downstream so that siberian river attack is then feasible".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is pioneering internet work, as far as i know never before seen. 1. "here are your options" "omfg i am
a special snowflake i won't take any of those" ; 2. "you have no options" "omfg i shoulds have some options!!" "you had."
mircea_popescu: neither anecdotes nor myths are
a practicable basis for science ; but they're as fine
a basis as there could be had for discussion.
mircea_popescu: as it is presented, an "untrue" story, it counts as what ?
a myth ?
mircea_popescu: if it were presented as
a "true" story, like so many other items actually so presented on trilema, with documentation unassailable and so on, then it'd have counted for what, an anecdote ?
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, I can believe that
a couple of rentacops sucked you off, but if it is not
a true story - as you said (even in the title), then how does it all connect?
mircea_popescu: teh age of "hi i am mario of so-and-so fiat concern" ended sometime this summer. talk to
a lord, make yourself useful, #trilema is not open to the general public.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:42 mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you recall the complaint of the police
a few years ago that "you've got all these written exams, now we're stuck making police agents out of girlies, god help us" ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 19:02 asciilifeform: phf: believe or not, asciilifeform sat on
a jury once where 100% of the evidence was the computrace nonsense
BingoBoingo: They gotta constantly
A/B test their copywriting
BingoBoingo: Well, the US courts discussion is always
a process of papering over "having been stolen from"
mircea_popescu totally sees it, signing
a "i deeply regret all these usg politrucks did not see the wisdow in time" eventually.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-22 21:39 asciilifeform: the janitor with
a pail of petrol, is
a t-cell, killing off inca cancer, whether knows it or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, they all put forth the same pretense, hitler's "take over without breaking as much as
a windowpane" very neatly mirrors calvin's "condemnation" of the 1524 wehrmacht.
mircea_popescu: (technically, he just shot some random old driver and some cosmonauts, but w/e. dood was going to take over govt by himself and shit, there's
a difference between infantilism and insanity.)
a111: Logged on 2018-08-22 21:51 asciilifeform: 'Andropov: Why did you decide that you are
a judge and can decide with
a gun in your hands? Ilyin: Because
a person should live not exist.'
mircea_popescu: in any case, it might be that the "decolonialization" sudden failure of europe has had the undiagnosed effect of removing fundamental mechanisms required for male maturation, leaving
a sort of unstable state. perhaps the case is boys could manage just fine, if there was some sort of resource available to explain that... i don't even know, whatever the fuck, that it's ok to be
a boy and it'll work out in the end.
Mocky: tell
a boy he's being sent to school, maybe he dun wanna go but no horror. hell him ballet school, (or fashion school or cheerleader camp *something else*) then yes, horror
diana_coman: well, if it's
a whole club, it has to be worth more!!
mircea_popescu: there's
a deep reason for all the historical "initiation ceremonies", and the reason is as usual need. maturation's axiogenic.
mircea_popescu: well, there's that old "as i became
a man i put the things of childhood aside". "something else", you know ? not
a girl, no, but who knows what terror ?!
☟︎ diana_coman: if that's what the school promises, it's
a tall order anyway; and for that matter does school make girl boy ? or what "something else"?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman alright ; but do you see the argument that ~school as an institution~ provides
a higher onthological threat to the boy than to the girl, specfifically because of this implicit "we'll make you something else" promise ?
Mocky: seems to me both male and female cling to the continuity, but female has greater capacity to reframe the past to fit
a completely different continuity narrative.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman do you recall the complaint of the police
a few years ago that "you've got all these written exams, now we're stuck making police agents out of girlies, god help us" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally, the whole "faux transvestite"
a la brendafernandez, "i'm
a boy who likes girls but not like
a man, so how about i dress up like
a girl and we frolic ?" is very much this "what if i could girl also ? discover one day mywhole prior life was
a fake" etc.
diana_coman: ah, I can see that; I'd put it simply: boy attaches
a way higher cost to "being wrong"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i would dare propose the fundamental difference is that the boy absolutely needs to maintain throughout
a certain feeling of continuancy,
a certain notion that he's still
a person, that something from his past nevertheless even today stands, that his retrospective history is somehow interpretable as "having
a red thread running through it". even if it were to change, it must be continuous.
mircea_popescu: let us just say "is alwayes too hard for himself" and come back to the particular issue in
a day or two
mircea_popescu: there's
a bit in the piece i am working right now which i'd like to reference ehre.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:23 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the irritating problem is that while the two characters are fundamentally disimilar, nevertheless there's superficial similarities that rankle. both use
a language to communicate what appear to be thoughts, and both can emulate formal logic in their own wetware to reliably come to the same true/false values
mircea_popescu: "well... it's not broken now, is it" this is how people here repair my cars. "is it ok ?" "sure, nothing's broken RIGHT THIS INSTANT" "this is
a german car, that's not what ok is."
mircea_popescu: so in the end, it becomes
a dispute over present-value-evaluation. if you have two hats, one of which will break next time you use it, do you have two hats ?
mircea_popescu: it seems, if one's inclined to generalize, that both sexes of
a species are the same species, much like both recyclable and non-recyclable bottles are "bottle", in some sort of sense that doesn't make any sense in examination.

mircea_popescu: anyway, speaking of which, isn't it
a wonder all the "secret services assassinations" etc don't involve
a simple "replace shower gel with nitrobenzene" ? evidently they can get hotel maids to perjure themselves in the most ridoinculous way possible, why not something incomparably safer ? not like the usual fucktards would ever give up the "conference" life

☝︎ BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> I did hear
a lot of dutch and german too,that is true; but all the dollar-prices and loads of English spoken and the baked in assumption - American, I don't know << Lots of Germans passed through the hostel (less than Latinos/Brasileros) they speak English because their hollywood ended in 1940s
diana_coman: come to think of it, maybe americans were simply so loud and rather obnoxious that they were more visible, huh; doing some counting here I remember there was even
a rather large group of ...italians, lol

diana_coman: child had
a small ball and apparently there was
a rule that no balls allowed in park; so before we even got to the gate, one guard was trying to convince me to hide the ball in
a jacket (I had no idea wtf for, it made sense only on hindsight); at the "control" I simply said that ball stays in backpack so it's not
a problem and they ..were fine with that
mircea_popescu: they came up with
a buncha pantsuitisms here ; no smoking in public, no genuine leather... can't even keep
a chipmunk pet. not legally at any rate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform smelled such that it was specifically
a cause of divorce among the jews
mircea_popescu: besides, one's in
a much better position to find comnena in 1200s than 1400s. by the 1400s, nobody in italy could read greek, you realise this ?
mircea_popescu: literally this, things are important now that literally did not exist
a decade, or
a century, or ten thousand centuries ago.
