☟︎ mircea_popescu: LA TESTIMONIANZA. Me lo conferma Pascal, gigolò romano. “Sono stato contattato da un’imprenditrice svizzera – dice in esclusiva a “Sex and Rome”-. Durante la cena, tra una chiacchiera e l’altra, in attesa di passare dal vino al letto, scopro che anche lei, come me, ha investito nei bitcoin e sfruttato la bolla di marzo”
mircea_popescu: i don't talk privately to nobodies, in general. so he can answer and that's all.

mircea_popescu: If, however, costs and prices are determined by full-bore competition, there is more than ample capacity, and the buyer cares little about whose product or distribution services he uses, industry economics are almost certain to be unexciting. They may well be disastrous."
mircea_popescu: administered in some manner and thereby insulated at least partially from normal market forces. This administration can be carried out (a) legally through government intervention (until recently, this category included pricing for truckers and deposit costs for financial institutions), (b) illegally through collusion, or (c) “extra-legally” through OPEC-style foreign cartelization (with tag-along benefits for dom
mircea_popescu: "To understand the change, we need to look at some major factors that affect levels of corporate profitability generally. Businesses in industries with both substantial over-capacity and a “commodity” product (undifferentiated in any customer-important way by factors such as performance, appearance, service support, etc.) are prime candidates for profit troubles. These may be escaped, true, if prices or costs are
mircea_popescu: funny how people who can't afford personal travel arrangements in june are suddenly ceos in september.
mircea_popescu: also would be nice to get a read as to whether danny webster is an uneducated welder from Leicestershire who tends to get involved in street fights. his subnormal mug certainly supports that theory.
mircea_popescu: we're not on the 1st of february, nor are we on the first of march, nor are we living in the alternative world where craig woods is a businesswoman or danny webster a ceo.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile a 23yo fuckwith stated that "The public facing websites are being tied into the advertising campaign which starts on 1st Feb. If you have concerns about me then so be it, if you would also like me to spend my time delivering updates then just say, however I do look forward to proving posts like these wrong."
mircea_popescu: so to this day if i google "neobee" i get 1st a havelock link and 2nd a webmail account for neobee.net, then reddit and btctalk pages.
mircea_popescu: or in george's gf's words, "Ha.Ha.Ha. ha...You don't have any money. I make more money than you do. ha. ha. ha. Yeah.. give me the papers I'll sign 'em.( she leaves) a pre-nup..."
mircea_popescu: DiabloD3: yeah I dont know why more men dont use prenups << because most men are deadbeats anyway.
mircea_popescu: i suppose ceramic armor plates on tanks don't shoot, either, and so it's immoral to spend military funds on armor plating research and deployment
mircea_popescu: hey, i had it without reading it. purist argument from dumbland.
mircea_popescu: Mar 15 03:49:38 <bitcoinpete>;;later tell mircea_popescu: I should check out the film, I've only seen the mainstage production :)
mircea_popescu: the false flag conpiracy theory is getting better and better hah
mircea_popescu: soo, the missing plane is placed between kazakhstan and turkmenistan now ?
mircea_popescu: my original comments refer strictly to this, while old landline is what it is, nobody forced cellphones to suck
mircea_popescu: none of the old infrastructure was usable, not really, towers is one thing copper is another and so on
mircea_popescu: but let me point out that digital comms is a whole new industry.
mircea_popescu: joecool i guess there's a good point here, in the sense that the infrastructure is really old, phreakin did exist, what is one to do
mircea_popescu: they wheeled in some ancient revolutionary bolshevik to praise the party.
mircea_popescu: someone did this as power moved from lenin to stalin but i don't recall who the fuck
mircea_popescu: hey, even sacred monsters a la buffett are reduced to teary eyed confessions of belief in the party, even at the zenith of their career/intellectual lucidity
mircea_popescu: they've plainly confessed to it what with the "too big to fail" doctrine,
mircea_popescu: it's by now a mistake to see anything in the us command economy as meaningfully separate from anything else.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea who exactly would wish to live in a world where a company making a product asks any government what it thinks on the topic.

mircea_popescu: this'd be a better distinction than simply over/under, because it's a difference in kind not degree.
mircea_popescu: rom entities to rules, it also lost the support of the people. There weren’t that many people burning American flags in 1860, you know ? Why do you think not ? You can support a government killing Indians, or bison. You can’t support a government fighting chemical compounds."
mircea_popescu: specifically, "As far as experience shows, people don’t tend to support states that either stupidly or unwittingly include rules among their enemies. You can’t win a war against math, or against drugs, or against “social injustice”, or “kulaks”. Soon after the Soviet government moved its focus from entities to rules, it lost the support of the people. Soon after the other-Soviet government moved its focus f
mircea_popescu: and for that matter it'd be a lot saner if you stuck around for few hours after asking for input on an article in so i don't have to make gribble work overtime
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell jborkl_ the point about "over regulate people" is vague, in that nobody, from obama to ayn rand, believe their activity is "over regulatory". indeed, all over regulators in history carefully consider the point of over regulation (in their own reference frame) and decide they're being reasonable.
