mircea_popescu: l with us like
the belief god may change your coke
to pepsi : because it's easy, and because it caters
to
the specific lacks and infirmities of
the "white" mind.
mircea_popescu: <adlai> just phrase it as pinpointing
the nature and inception of
the anthropocene era,
their eyes will glaze over and
they'll back out of your
territory instead of pretending
to understand
the issues <<<
this is an exceptionally retarded approach
to keeping idiots in check. it has a lengthy history of being deployed by "white" people ever before white people were invented, and it always failed. nevertheless, it's stil

adlai: (from comments) "Please add a "+1" button
to each
topic post. It doesn't have

liquidassets: These Usian Disney chicks keep using 'love' like it's
this
thing one gives
to another
to substitute for what one lacks, or a
tool for filling a void or getting what one wants. Maybe
the word

ben_vulpes: also vimeo is a reprehensible operation who caves unconditionally
to baseless dmca notices from SORORITIES
ben_vulpes: gamma phi beta and kappa delta are abusing
the DMCA
to
take down videos
that portray
them in ways in which
they do not like.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> iirc a certain ver. of 'wordpress' also shat 'magical' quotez << All of
them seem
to force it unless suitably corrected
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm off
to bed. looking forward
to part 2 of
the xotika discussion once Naphex shows up.
mircea_popescu: "drop everything!
there's another same-way
to do
the stupid!"
mircea_popescu: "oh i know, we've never done
the stupid
thing
THIS WAY before!"
ben_vulpes: welcome, mircea_popescu,
to
the new new new new web
mircea_popescu: god forsaken species
that never in its history produced anything but stupid.
ben_vulpes: everyone already has chrome,
there is no "download".
mircea_popescu: moreover, unless google;'s paying for
this, why
the fuck am i dirving
their dumbass product on my dime.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that anyone's downloading a browser
to run your spunk app.
ben_vulpes: ofc
this buys also
the risk of google ripping
the sheets out from under one.
ben_vulpes: you can make
the consumers "come
to expect" anything, unless mgmt insists pigheadedly on cross-browser support chasing "lift" or "conversion" or some such, chrome should be adequate.
ben_vulpes: and
think what you will, constraining
the operating environment
to just chrome is a pretty sensible cost-reducing move.
ben_vulpes: that has nothing
to do with depreciation schedule.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes afaik
their major weakness is an inability
to run in anything but chrome atm
ben_vulpes: also "software" should be depreciated on a goddamn 2 year schedule it rots so quickly. especially
these single-page angular
things;
they're exceptionally more expensive
to maintain as
time goes on.
mircea_popescu: i
thought it was a one man show originally
too, but apparently
there's at least another guy (this CoraCrisT fellow) doing something in between ceo and pr.
mircea_popescu: i would expect it's a historical value of
the software
ben_vulpes: some hand-wavey value of
the software?
mircea_popescu: that i recall
the discussion of. i asked if it has resale/license value, and he said yes.
ben_vulpes: and why is
that reported as an asset value increase
mircea_popescu: the one problem i see in
there is
that if
there's 73 deposited and 35 withdrawn,
the difference is unearned income, and improperly reported as shareholder equity.
kakobrekla: and 'platform dev' ? is he charging
the actual work needed with
the site?
kakobrekla: so he paid 9to himself if i understand
this correctly?
mircea_popescu: just as long as
they're paid fairly (ie, by share ownership proportion)
they can be any arbitrary value between 0 and entreprise value
mircea_popescu: it can pay whatever it wants in dividends, up
to its entire cash balance.
ben_vulpes: like i said kakobrekla
the 'board' can pay whatever in divs apparently
mircea_popescu: they're not really related
tho. so
the site paid 35 btc in withdrawals (by performers) and 9 btc in dividends
kakobrekla: > as fees are calculated on withdrawal >Dividend
to shareholders9.6487 > Withdrawals*35.7354 >
ben_vulpes: but
that has nothing
to do with
the
topic
whiterock: hi guys i cant back read
the
topi. if its ok, may i know what is being discussed?
kakobrekla: yeah
these numbers dont make any sense
to me still.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i dun recall what
they charged, a few % but sliding scale
ben_vulpes: board can authorize divs of whatever size
they want
to?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
that's just
the guy putting money in from his pocket.
kakobrekla: what are
these private investments? do
those investors get same shares as (will be) on mpex?
ben_vulpes: too late, whiterock, mircea_popescu beat you
to it.
ben_vulpes: monthly is an adequate frequency for inspecting operators commitment
to
the project.
kakobrekla: fees are
taken on withdrawals? how much is
that fee?
mircea_popescu: for me for instance it is quite informative
that a reasonable
timespan for public consultation is ~2 mo.
kakobrekla: i rather confused reading
this statement but i may be
thick
ben_vulpes: not
that i'm even going
to look at
the blockchain on
the latter, but
they should at least show up on
the balance sheet, even if
they are going directly into naphex' pocket
ben_vulpes: not
that anyone cares, but
things i'd like
to see pre-ipo:
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu, Naphex: are
the xotika reports living at predictable urls?
mircea_popescu: to be fair : all out
text is fine,
the
trouble starts when we quote
the morlocks
