mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, you should remove keybase from your profile.
mircea_popescu: (and i'll point out that the eulora movement away from prices-because-prices to prices-for-these-reasons that's been evident in the coupla years past is very much of this exact same substance. a rational universe, plox, had enough of the emotional one.)
mircea_popescu: what's required of you is to explain ~how~ you processed sense data to end up in what looks from outside like wedges and thereby how to avoid it in future. even if it's a lot of explaining and fixing takes a lifetime, nevertheless, that's the process, and that's ~why~ "we're not x, we're y".
mircea_popescu: understand that what's required of you isn't a bland "do better", somehow magically and on your own power ; it's evident that your own power gets you where it got you, idly power-cycling the machine isn't the republican game.
mircea_popescu: i don't know ; and i'd like to know ; but i'd rather not guess, which is the entire point of even having a wot in the first place, take the guessing out of society, bring reason back among people.
mircea_popescu: so, how did your reasoning go that produced 100k hither, 10k thither ?
mircea_popescu: the examination of those trees, and the procedures that produced them, are the substance of "that's what school is".
mircea_popescu: that's not just a word / "something you say" / etc, we're not doing word salad, we're doing ASTs for lack of a better term, there's trees everywhere at the basis of and underneath expression, and those trees are sorted and organized by rational criteria.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, ben_vulpes, it occurs to me that in the hubub yesterday you omitted to explain the reasoning behind the various items. i guess it's maybe not evident, but the semantic content of "i dunno how you're working all this out in your skull" is "please explain how you're thinking".
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm not proposing x.1 as a counterargument of y.2, they're separate trees, and separate trees are reconciled at the roots by a manager.
mircea_popescu: why would anyone think such a thing ? it never worked in practice yet, but then again somehow "what works" ain't nobody's got time for.
mircea_popescu: why's marriage gone extinct ? not like the present day idiocy makes anyone happy. yet, they think they gotta "respect" the woman.
mircea_popescu: i doubt this is true ; it may be, but it may also be it went extinct in heathendom for the reason food went extinct -- too lazy, and "better, moar technological" alternatives.
mircea_popescu: lifetimes have been spent chasing the magic dust of "but why this be", so it can stay a black box for nao, it's just yet another strange property of the universe surroundant.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the merit of the shared unix is its cheapness. it's generally the experience of businessmen than orgs selling cheap items can be upgraded to also sell more expensive items ; while the reverse rarely works irl.
mircea_popescu: ave1, well, some people are apparently reading trilema...
mircea_popescu: nobody's yet, or ever, drumming anybody out for not doing a good job. the drums start drumming only if you stick to not doing a good job.
mircea_popescu: performing poorly in public is a great fucking boon. that's what school is, basically.
mircea_popescu: mod6, anyway, to answer some angle of the question asked, rather than "the question read between the lines" -- pizarro wirh 8 something btc in cash whatever it is does not specifically require more cash to confront a 1.x expenditure and some months of .5 each overhead or w/e it is. the fact that you two are committed to further putting money in as need may be is utterly sufficient, as far as i can discern. ymmv, but you asked.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: just, shoot in the direction of the target, not in the direction of the general room.
mircea_popescu: they'll replace you in good time, which is to say if they have to pour more money in at the earliest. but that day's not yet upon you, and until it is, might as well give it your best shot.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, it's not that i dislike you or anything ; but you gotta understand there's two views to any phenomena, id est subjective and objective. from the objective view you look bad. it's not the end of the world, but rather a very valuable signal.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how you're working all this out in your skull, but so far you're being a liability rather than an asset. why isn't this obvious ?
mircea_popescu: now currently you're engaging in a boatload of pussyfooting around the fact that pizarro doesn't need more capital as it is ; and the only conceivable function more capital could possibly serve as things stand is to give you some other excuse to not get sales going.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, let me tell you some things. a while ago you got these doods into a miserable situation they don't know how to extract themselves from, by ending up with 10x the warrants bingoboingo got. last i checked the dood actually moved down there.
mircea_popescu: and yes, pizarro can issue bonds in general. who buys them depends on who pizarro wants to sell them to.
mircea_popescu: mod6, technically you don't have stock as you're not listed ; but yes, you'd own whatever % regardless.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. we burned some sort of local cedar or something, i have nfi what it is, but i smelled delicious in the shower. and there's someone sniffing my shirt from the laundry basket.
mircea_popescu: she was extremely bubbly and "omfg, HAVE YOU SEEN $this" with values of $this ~= everything, sky, sand, w/e.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, holy shit, so i was on the beach where we ran into this very bubbly florida chick there for "a women's empowerment seminar", which i thought was bizarre.
mircea_popescu: the only reason is most rather than all is because pimps are lazy and disorganized. cattle ranchers, all.
mircea_popescu: are you fucking kidding me ?! most pimps brand the hos, wtf.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how she figured that out, but i suppose i actually do huh.
mircea_popescu: in other fetlife lulz, "You look like you run a cult so I’m gonna pass."
mircea_popescu: "Patrick Flanagan (born October 11, 1944) is an American New Age author and inventor." bwhahaha
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, hey, you got 8 hours every day to fit it in.
mircea_popescu: incide4ntally, is the samsung item availavble locally ? "no oem" may have the counter-property that "same price everywhere"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, perhaps should organize a carrying of various spare odds and ends such as a dc must have on hand but the orcs do not : assorted cables, spare hdds / cards etc.
mircea_popescu: and i bet you they're still pompously going about buenos aires, buying socks on credit and acting like renting their hovels is anything but an act of grace such that you get the wife/daugthers every night you feel like.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the fucking cheek of those fuckers. seriously, they're going to be the indirection layer between you and your friends ? and what else, "web platforms" ?
mircea_popescu: just like i'd rather pay bitcoin tx fees than other chrap. jesus christ.
mircea_popescu: jurov, yes, wires are not free. i'd rather pay that 50 than almost any other 50 though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, some of the "transferwise" "customers" are evidently into money laundering, as the entire "service" transparently reeks of. soo... mno.
mircea_popescu: jurov, glad you said something, we can now ban "transferwise" explicitly.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck would want to get involved with that nonsense jebus.
mircea_popescu: well, fwis "something happened i can't be arsed to debug". which is a perfectly fine and even somewhat common failure mode.
mircea_popescu: i dunno specifically, but you follow the trail, in general.
mircea_popescu: well, you ask whoever told you "so and so decliend" who asked them anything.
mircea_popescu: "why no more persian empire after 600 ?" "because they started asking the wrong things of the wrong people"
mircea_popescu: ve centuries after the fact) directly map into current republican ideology on the topic.
mircea_popescu: to continue
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-16#1814352 : take the nizami story of khosrow (last persian ruler) and shirin (possibly roman princess). not only is it usually rendered in pantsuit retellings as "farhad and shirin" (farhad being the politruk, modernist element / in his own mind only rival to the king), but the very naive "women get a say, not the natural but the fabricated sort" it's steeped in (written as it is fi
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the day we celebrate the international phf's pregnancies day ?
mircea_popescu: so agree that you'll each add another 5btc as circumstances merit ; then pizarro has all the backing it needs and a clear path to success. and if the circumstances "merit" in the sense that it needs rescuing rather than it's expanding, you can fire the management and get someone else or w/e.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the fact that pizarro is actually well supported is the principal part, for its commercial credit. otherwise, it can't well spend even the 10 it has so far, 1.5 or so go to the rockchips, then it's all "get sales going".
mircea_popescu: or does mod6 do 20 you do 5 and you're ballooned out ? :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, oh turns out i was confused, it is github he's doing.
mircea_popescu: spyked, by the way, are you hitting both ssh and
https for cert keys ? or just ssh ?
