mircea_popescu: they come with hand-rolled minimal gentoo or what was it ?
mircea_popescu: and you don't really want to turn away the first leads ; they're usually the best in that they reproduce.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you have this problem though whereby you don't actually have WHAT to sell as it stands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, honestly i'd start planning for the next trip. understand the simple fact of the matter : if you manage to get pizarro 300 rockchips racked, you've produced at least a coupla bitcoin's value for it.
mircea_popescu: understand, if you lease these even as low as 30/mo, your occupancy jumps to... 15%, while your revenue goes to 200%.
mircea_popescu: at least now you have a driver. you want a plan, web support, and sales people to push this. you know what you're pushing at least.
mircea_popescu: what's a rockchip actually cost i forget ? like 30 bux + the ssd ?
mircea_popescu: have you ever sold anything before ? the situation here isn't "no one seems to even want the last one". the situatio nis "we sold most of them"
mircea_popescu: if i were you folk i would very seriously be looking at geting refinanced, taking ~300 rockchips there and filling a dozen us with them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, so the story here is that you have ~12% occupancy and ~20-30% revenue ?
mircea_popescu: then the 1.1k figure can't be right. 4 x 140 + how many fgs are rented out, at least 4 ? + s.mg box + rockchips hm... seems your true recurrent revenue is more like 2k
mircea_popescu: box only has 2 fgs ; 1 colo spot ; box rental itself is the rest.
mircea_popescu: well, eg the s.mg box, like your largest income driver, isn't in there ?
mircea_popescu: prolly should look into the concept of "unearned income". technically money you were paid for services you've not yet rendered belongs to the customers' equity line.
mircea_popescu: ah, the rest because you booked some yearly contracts, i see, i see.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, you're confusing the concept of par value for shares (which is 0.00001 considering you issued 1.1mn on 11 btc capital) with book value per share, a different item.
mircea_popescu: also, seeing how 13.86965669 != 13.81965669 your books aren't balanced. wtf happened ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, more shockingly, can you explain how the hell you folks posted a 0.55620116 ebidta gain this period ? i mean i get it, sold .4 worth of equity ; but the rest ?!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, it's also terrible practice that i read "tooling" and then "zip ties" and "llave". srsly now, put them all in tooling and ((enum)) if need be.
mircea_popescu: i can do his one better : select '9.15831827' - '0.399861' produces "8.758457270000001".
mircea_popescu: even more amusingly : diana_coman spent the past two days working with floats. not entirely unrelated problems.
mircea_popescu: i get 8.75845727 amusingly enough. echo "9.15831827-0.399861" | bc
mircea_popescu: trinque> with the precision set to the appropriate range << this is the important part.
mircea_popescu: yeah, they lost that whole thing. intel's getting cisco'd.
mircea_popescu: in the end we came up with a wetware replacement for having to write python wrappers for sql. GO A TEAM!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, feel free to even quote the choicier bits in the logs. the only problem is the wall, really.
mircea_popescu: oh and a spiffy thing that is indeed! i'm like an eagle with my comments now.
mircea_popescu: to quote one of barry fitzgerald's best roles (the naked city) : "Fifty bucks!"
mircea_popescu banged plenty of what locally counted for middle class gals who nevertheless maintained the pretense on 5-600 a month.
mircea_popescu: well, considering from experience few locals have even half that to play with, should make survival possible.
mircea_popescu: that takes him then to what, (570 +311 +620)*1.1 ? ie, marginally costing more than the dc ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, just ignore it. eventually the data will have to be prettified. when someone has the time.
mircea_popescu: they do at-will rentals anyway. the term is enforceable against the owner ; not so much the tenant. anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it would not be inconceivable either pizarro or nsa buys some real estate in that town, i guess.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, yeah but i mean, i paid quarterly as a rule, and it was exceptional. they generally do monthly payments. the wisdom of doing 3 year lump sum payments to spanish speaking peoples is debatable in any case.
mircea_popescu: not to be forgotten about , though, dood's done some excellent work for it.
mircea_popescu: trinque, de-follow phuctor rss when you have a minute ?
mircea_popescu: i imagine they'll be kinda happy once dead. finally, relieved from all these burdens too great, the embarassment of existence.
mircea_popescu: such luzly cluelessness as to how to win a war, it's possibly the prime field of ustardian bogonism. i mean... they can;'t program computers, sure. but at least the computer doesn't shoot you for being an idiot.
mircea_popescu: kinda. no, it';s more about how "great idea to have robots in combined arms with humans -- they can tattletale!!!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you should see all the tmsr-wannabe stuff emanating from the usarmy "dept of research", by the way. it's all about "network centric" technologees such as fighting bots with ethical ethics and whatnot. one helluva riot.
mircea_popescu: maybe the idea comes from their (somewhat rare habit) of copulating lying down rather than standing.
mircea_popescu: i dunno anyone ever tried to fuck it, in preference of say fucking the toilet seat hole.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that visual is the more amusing if one actually ever rode a camel. the animal is large.
mircea_popescu: some people, given the choice of eating shit and being lied about it or eating shit and being told they're eating shit prefer the latter.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, anyway ; his argument is principally that they were straight talking. which is true, the difference between stalin-socialism and roosevelt-socialism is strictly that the cripple shunned straight talk ; whereas the bank robber reveled in it.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, why don't you realise b was better than a when your experience of b is mediated by the items that produced a ?
