mircea_popescu: there's only so much tiresome-unsexed-mayogendered that can be produced. so not much alternative content available.
mircea_popescu: item only ever existed as a child porn / assorted bizarro trading ring.
mircea_popescu: "censored reddits" is about 500% the extant reddit by mass.
mircea_popescu: lol.
mircea_popescu: a good cocktail is that mix which is better than the sum of the parts.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, squeeze bitter orange, i guess.
mircea_popescu: and in today's harem cocktails : in a cocktail glass (the inverted cone on a stem) put shaved ice, cover with cinzano rosso, splash of cointreau.
mircea_popescu: if this ever takes off you can do two things : a) have a banner rotator and b) have monthly or biannual or w/e spot auctions.
mircea_popescu: yes, but i mean... can you do anything useful ?
mircea_popescu: but... i still don't know much.
mircea_popescu: sure.
mircea_popescu: aand who might you two be ?
mircea_popescu: !!up dw
mircea_popescu: !!up Disavowed
mircea_popescu: "i dun care how tall" is a recipe for disaster down the road.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, if you're going to do this, best think about it, specify the site for it.
mircea_popescu: btw, asciilifeform : the phuctor design is narrow. plenty of space to put stuff on the sides, rather than bottom, if you wantr.
mircea_popescu: ie http://nosuchlabs.com/fg/snsa.jpg
mircea_popescu: well... maybe have them make something the same size as other items there ?
mircea_popescu: go right ahead, i dun see the problem.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't want to shock your expectations :D
mircea_popescu: gah: command not found
mircea_popescu: aha. actually these were the garbage guys.
mircea_popescu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Ruggiero << historical character.
mircea_popescu: and what a fun adventure it was! :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, weren't you about to move on the high seas, lefty from mullbery st. ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, quite.
mircea_popescu: kinda why boat should have nude babes, distract one when this happens.
mircea_popescu: it is indeed depressing. like traveling in the desert, come to think of it.
mircea_popescu: lol. ever been in dead water ?
mircea_popescu: mp.
mircea_popescu: "get the rigging match the wind". ☟︎
mircea_popescu: really, there's a lot of similarity between the job of the CFO (which... i gues... is what i'm doing here ?) for a company and the job of a captain of a fore-and-aft rigged vessel.
mircea_popescu: hence, "more easy to shield"
mircea_popescu: a more even split makes the "solar winds" 0-delta. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: currently the financial position of pizarro is long cash / short tangibles (90/10 or something like that is the split iirc ?) meaning it will gain when fiat depreciates and lose when it appreciates.
mircea_popescu: still : cash position protects against fiat depreciation (which is why unearned income acct hurt, it's a negative cash acct) ; whereas tangibles position protects against fiat appreciation.
mircea_popescu: it didn't, so it could be argued it "missed out" on earning 5btc for its principals. but that argument, like any other icahn-speculative truths, is weak.
mircea_popescu: yes, if pizarro had 10 btc worth of gear end of q1, then pizarro'd have had 15+ btc worth of gear today.
mircea_popescu: in this direction.
mircea_popescu: well, consider the situation in the field. the unearned income acct hurt, in that pizarro will have to service in the future in excess of current fiat value ; the capital goods acct helped, in that the servers it owns are worth more in btc than they were when bought.
mircea_popescu: wester union eg, went that way.
mircea_popescu: what, and turn it into a financial speculator ? usually firms go that way after making so much revenue they run out of capital goods they might buy ☟︎
mircea_popescu: much moar shield-able, fortunately.
mircea_popescu: but, the sums involved aren't that great anyway.
mircea_popescu: this movement'd have greatly benefited a hardware heavy isp (in the vein of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-04#1445680 ) ; it greatly hurts a forward-payments / unearned income isp as pizarro stands ☝︎
mircea_popescu: indeed.
mircea_popescu: in the sense where "o god, paid in advance, at much higher nominal rate"
mircea_popescu: only in the "fuuuu" sense.
mircea_popescu: well, they got the whole local bitcoins thing iirc.
mircea_popescu: next month.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-23#1817767 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: iirc that was for this month ? or next ?
mircea_popescu: well, it's not even started to publicly exchange yet.
mircea_popescu: that... ain't so much.
mircea_popescu: but i mean, as far as anyone presently knows, 100% of all bitcoin trade consists of http://logs.minigame.biz/search/?q=total+bids
mircea_popescu: something like that.
mircea_popescu: does it seem to you a maybe-isp, a mmorpg, some we don't have REs and some novel length fiction warrants a 100bn valuation for the republic ?
mircea_popescu: ikr ?what fucking "new", the last time usg produced something new hruschev was still wearing his shoes.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record we agree -- price's way the fuck too high consider what the republic can provedly do as of yet.
mircea_popescu: don't tell me the implication would be that "we've already" the old.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck cares how new it is ?!
mircea_popescu: i like how they say "the new", as if it's somehow a workable substitute for "the stupid"
mircea_popescu: i remember one time hanbot went through "crypto credit cards"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it'll be ethereum. bitcoin, like trilema ~also~ something official policy is to not admit exists (aside, of course, how it's what they save in / read themselves).
mircea_popescu: imagine, if you will, 1k bleating heads collected in a room. even admitting you're http://trilema.com/2017/damele-dameleee/#selection-175.1-175.78 and can make the list of the top 1k "blockchain industry" professionals, correctly sorted desc.
mircea_popescu: scarcely worth the bother, that. "crypto"-x as in, "a crypto ad network" is totally another way of saying http://trilema.com/2014/bitcoin-in-argentina-exactly-nothing-to-do-with-the-derps/#selection-197.0-197.39 ; ie, "that website some kid made and meanwhile forgot about"
mircea_popescu: they mostly lost the will to live, white men.
mircea_popescu: possible. in other similar lulz, juicy ads (whom, incidentally, i remember from the days the dood starting it was a junior/nobody with a "new project!!", 15+ years ago) refuses to deal with crypto because "we are respectable company".
mircea_popescu: i was talking of the argentards.
mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, alternatively, if you find actually interesting banner selling ppl i'll both pay you for the effort and buy their banners to help take some load off zee pizarro. you have almost enough here to start your own "digital media" agency, just need to hire some worthless ditzen now and is all set!
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825040 << they have that stuff here too, "arrested drug ring, confiscated a few benjies in currency". it always boggles the mind. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825019 << i'm pretty sure that's the point, they can't afford pot but gotta be as spacey as proper californians to not burn down the entire fucking country. and so... ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825015 << what "software development" even is for. this great foss movement that gave us so many wonderful things, such as a firm guarantee to the usg that there's AT LEAST a little idiocy in everyone's computer no matter what. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: sorta like you trying to get into porn -- you can't complain about "having trouble with gfy.com", and so on.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, the reason it's interesting is that it is the de-facto home of ~anyone left who's still doing cpa.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1825006 << i'll certainly be very interested of hearing a yes/no to this, secretly even, because so far i've not been getting anywhere (as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1824240 etc ). curious if perhaps im doing something wrong. ☝︎☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824992 << something like that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it'll have to be figured out.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, you figure out the clickbank too.
mircea_popescu: ever looked into the clickbank thing ?
mircea_popescu: kk.
mircea_popescu: mod6, are you passively asking me something ? because if yes then yes, a) very slow and b) why so passive about it.
mircea_popescu: they're christians, ergo stupid, what can you do. nobody knows.
mircea_popescu: but you can also directly see how it's now a case of "oh, i didn't shake hands with mp RETROACTIVELY because I SAY SO" and all the rest of the http://trilema.com/2018/the-problem-with-christians/ bullshit just from there.
mircea_popescu: trinque, hey, i'm specifically not even asking you to. fuck them, let them learn to live in the world before asking the world to change to accomodate.
mircea_popescu: in any case, the "unhappenings" we've been laughing at aren't ~alien~ technology. they're how the victims of child abuse react to the world "naturally", in the sense of, having had it browbeat into them by the shameful harpies of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824975 ; both in the family and at "school" / football practice / we. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that said : i don't specifically care either way, but now explicitly.
mircea_popescu: bones hospital doesn't jump on the broken bones to make the point the bones are broken, might as well abstain from pointing out to 14 yo cunts captive in 40yo reverse engineer's bodies that they're transparently and for everyone evidently 14 yo cunts."
mircea_popescu: out my factual and utterly obvious shortcoming], i'm doing you a favour, tough breaks for you that '''the server''' was out of date [which totally isn't my failure, inasmuch as it was my server, that's why i keep it around, to randomly dissociate when things happen]' without skipping a beat. it's therefore reasonable to expect similar breaks from reality to be triggered in similar circumstances. inasmuch as the setting broken
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-13#1824856 << to be plain, the argument is "hey, you just watched this dood produce broken reasoning in the vein of replacing 'it is my responsibility to register you rightly told me i fucked up the process, for which i am ashamed as i should be, it is after all my responsibility to have my keys' with 'you asked me to register [therefore you somehow owe me somthing, you totally weren't pointing ☝︎
mircea_popescu: !!up loper_os_cr50
mircea_popescu: ahahaha
mircea_popescu: paduche la paduche trage.
mircea_popescu: instead of telling daughter how she'd better take 1st place at tailhooker's coed beauty contest if she wants any supper, there she was "raising awareness" about "equality in the workplace". well now!
mircea_popescu: it's gonna be such an open season of old woman head on pike soon enough. "but what did i do ?!" "you were someone's mom in the 90s/00s weren;'t you ?" "yes i was!" "fuck you, bitch." ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: yeah, the limitation being all the fucktarded nurturing idiots in the "civilised world".
mircea_popescu: somehow apparently they all went home to sulk and make tardbook accounts.
mircea_popescu: hey, i beat hippies in the 90s until my hands fell off.
