mircea_popescu: in any case is the strategic reason for the republican positioning.
mircea_popescu: this is the sad fact of the matter, fucktarded bureaucrats have managed to shit over the true core of what europe even fucking ever was.
mircea_popescu: hey, other then the times i get pissed off it's a pleasure.
mircea_popescu: well one direct solution is to enlarge baloon as above.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, anyway, an' ftr, if your concern is that you're underweight pizarro, you can just as well do a second round. see if mod6 wants to either a) give it more btc or else b) move into a minority position. pizarro would certainly benefit from a larger piggy giving it more solidity etc, so you can do another 10-20 round either by yourself if mod6 is agreeable or else match together or any which old way. this isn't an u
mircea_popescu: i dunno why i assumed that's the case, but good you said something, as it'd never have occured to me to ask, either.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, im not gonna let them. i had no idea you didn't think it's the most excellent the idea. now that i do, hey.
mircea_popescu: they get a cheaper chassis and we get a working economy.
mircea_popescu: i'd very much rather we go with 1. they booked the chassises at 1k each, tentatively, which is not what's going to happen. bill 120% materials like it seems it's becoming the repuiblican "standard profit" and there we go. neh ?
mircea_popescu: but no, the universe 3 whereby "people made a 300 btc donation to unclear future goals" isn't really on the table.
mircea_popescu: or else universe 2, whereby chassis for pizarro is produced by you as free agent. in this world we have to now explain what nsa actually is, which becomes a rather difficult task, and pizarro will have to sell its bonds on market, to whatever discount.
mircea_popescu: practically the situation here is this : we can either live in universe 1, whereby chassis for pizarro is produced by you for nsa, and sold by nsa to pizarro. in this world nsa stays what it always was, as above, and pizarro can (at practically your option, as i can go either way) pay with undiscounted bonds for cash-equivalent mateirals ;
mircea_popescu: afaik nsa always was exactly what phf is quoted above as having understood it is : the umbrella org for your manufactory.
mircea_popescu: and one step down, nsa doesn't even have to permit equity buys, can insist on being paid cash. i was permitting it because i thought it's desirable, but if you don't like it evidently won't happen.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's any intention of that. i certainly would vote against the measure.
mircea_popescu: except you do, iirc materials get paid anyway ? what am i missing here ?
mircea_popescu: if you do it as "myself" you get whatever chassis cost in btc in your pocket. if you do it as s.nsa you don't, is the logic ?
mircea_popescu: well how much pizarro has in the way of cash isn't changed by ooooh i see the problem, you hafta recirculate this is it ?
mircea_popescu: we were doing that as an easement, but it's evidently our option neh ?
mircea_popescu: it doesn't ~have to~ sell for shares. can sell for cash, why not ?
mircea_popescu: it can do consultancy / custom jobs for isps/dcs, why the hell not.
mircea_popescu: there's not some rule that all nsa products must be available to the general public.
mircea_popescu: okay, but the larger concern seems to be that you'd rather put all your fabrication under nsa than have to explain to shareholders why not and wherefore in the future.
mircea_popescu: when you last flew over (on nsa dime) we sold them servers an' nobody died.
mircea_popescu: yes, but what's the significant problem with nsa selling pizarro custom built chassisen ?
mircea_popescu: in "things that willn't have happened 20-30 days from now, say security experts"
mircea_popescu: (the correct cut would be, obviously, the arab invasion -- but i choose to be this insulting.)
mircea_popescu: but there's no major "let's all move to italy then" moment there.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, in other cases -- like, say, dutchland went to shit with william because doh, they all moved over to the island to be english nao -- it's obvious enough wtf happened.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i have scant interest in current persian. might as well care about neogreek. to what, to see how they decided to transliterate mcdonalds ?
mircea_popescu: so it's quite the rewarding activity, trying to puzzle out what the fuck they wanted from lyf.
mircea_popescu: it's one of the major cultural languages least comprehended by contemporary hermeneutics.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, secrecy is not so much a public matter. your harem slaves will keep your secrets, but why are you talking secretly outside of their bodies ?
mircea_popescu , incidentally, is a huge persian poetry fan. i mean the pre rinascimento stuff.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and yes, this can very well be implemented as, "overvotlage its power line"
mircea_popescu: suppose instead c'. machine failed to so notice, returned 65524 : step d. the other machines return "reject 3."
mircea_popescu: to drive it into the dirt : a) suppose you want reliable addition, for which purpose you comission rockchip machines 1 through 6. b) you pass along the string "5+6". the answers come 11 11 11 65524 11 11. c) machine 3 notices it is the only one with that result via its distributed n-of-m magick module, and returns "op fail" instead.
mircea_popescu: (meta-failure, of course, being the failure to conceptualize it failed)
mircea_popescu: where any one component admits TWO levels of failure : direct failure, and meta-failure. the former warrants destruction.
mircea_popescu: but can also be implemented as a distributed system, ie, EXACTLY LIKE IN PEOPLE.
mircea_popescu: the nightmare this is becoming for the "nobus" bunch though. /me cackles.
mircea_popescu: they didn't have ecc. they ~implemented~ ecc exactly in the way described.
mircea_popescu: otoh arm is cheap enough to run 50 and pretend you're 1950s space program.
mircea_popescu: it's not the sort of question that you can answer for yourself in a minute.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: !W (+ 1500 200 (* 5 150) (* 4 (+ 200 400 100 (* 28 (+ 35 1.0 6.89 34.99)))))
mircea_popescu: other than that, did you fuck anything to include "index.html" ?
mircea_popescu: it is possible your theme is not supportive of your directory structure. try "custom structure" = "/%year%/%postname%/" ?
mircea_popescu: re but also a week's stay, like if rich nsa is paying him a little vacation. altogether it comes to this much on the basis of those assumptions" and so on.
mircea_popescu: that's why it's important to run documented estimates rather than either loose or tight estimates.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, it's a tight rope, either way can get unpleasant.
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform is nsa fabricating chassisen for pizarro ? or is asciilifeform of his own independent self ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: absolutely fine, if not outright premier way to maximize shareholder value.
mircea_popescu: the cheaper you get your stuff, you understand, the more your intaingibles and equity lines are worth.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the " the price inevitably dips" theory works A LOT better if it doesn't have to dip under 6k.
