decimation: the lawsuit alleges (based on what evidence?)
that
the gpus on
the macbook pros would heat
too rapidly for
the lead-free solder, and would
thermally shock it, causing cracks
thestringpuller: "/u/thestringpuller has helped pay for 216.25 minutes of reddit server
time." << badges now cause reddit can't pay
the bills. derped into socialism...
decimation: speaking of which, did you see
the apple macbookpro recall ascii?
decimation: yeah soldering really isn't
that hard, and
this is good practice
mircea_popescu: for
this application! not for
treating his blepharospasm
decimation: asciilifeform: are
the pogo serial port 'holes' filled with solder?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he's making a poc, for himself, as
the first
thing. he can solder later if he can't solder now
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller
this
theory is in fact long standing practice, it's just
that
the derps filling up
the www with
their words don't know what
they don't know
decimation: re: qntra > I guess my
thinking is
that he is using pretty speculative
thinking about
the rate of dilution, who knows how management is going
to act in
the future
mircea_popescu: this is
true but misleading : in fact you know
the fiats will inflate
to all shit. and you know start-ups will dilute
to all shit. in absolutely no proportion
to "Words added" or any other sort of metric.
mircea_popescu: the qntra dilution argument is similar
to
the bitcoin inflation argument, saying something like "bitcoin is set
to inflate at a fixed rate, fiat currenciesa are not"
decimation: the 'proper' solution would probably be
to solder
the 1mm pin headers you mention in your photos and
then use a ribbon cable with pin-header plugs
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter... a) in fact qntra is set
to have MUCH LESS dilution
than absolutely ANY start-up.
mircea_popescu: this is like
telling me
that a dollar's not worth 1/100 of a hundred dollars.
mircea_popescu: ;;LATER
TELL mike_c but logically a share can not be differently worth from mktcap/sharecount.
decimation: I bought my
ttl-level serial/usb converter on ebay
danielpbarron: and with cardano,
they can do it safely from any internet cafe
mike_c: anyway, i'm a qntra fanboy for
the record. g'nite all!
thestringpuller: MPEx may one day allow redditards
to buy coffee (and yes one day also pigs may fly)
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: so I was getting beer with Pierre_Rochard
the other night, and got on
the
topic of off "blockchain solutions" in relation
to derps wanting
to buy coffee on blockchain. so eventually came
to realization MPEx can do what Coinbase does but better. PUSH is free of charge, so in
theory persons with MPEX accounts could make payment processing network with various bank
thingies.
they
take derps money, put in mpex, and
decimation: well, I would assume
that
the policy of share dilution would end at some point, and would not approach infinity
decimation: mike_c: how would you evaluate
the 'worth' of a company? ben graham?
mike_c: because dilution. for
the next year, massive dilution.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: it's because you are
thinking of what
the company is worth, not a share. For many companies
this is a simple calculation. not so for qntra.
mircea_popescu: but your point seems self contradictory
to me. on one hand, oh,
this is irreplaceable, on
the other, oh,
this is not worth its market value
mike_c: it's not like
the domain is worth anything. so it is unbuyable, and
the market cap is not related
to its worth yet.
mike_c: this is
the whole point, right? people
tried
to make news sites and
they sucked.
mircea_popescu: mike_c you wouldn't need
to hire
them specifically, but you would need someone. and as
there's very few people outside of b-a with brains working worth
two shits...
mircea_popescu: there's really no logical reason
to buy it unless you got a better way
to run it
mike_c: it's like a very early stage startup, you really can't just buy
the whole
thing yet because
the founders are so critical
mircea_popescu: conceivably
they could run it as it runs now, which brings us
to
the point :
mike_c: yeah, but, buyer would have
to hire bingo & cazalla
to keep running it
mike_c: this is more and less
true for different companies, but generally it's
the ballpark.
mircea_popescu: i
think you at least
theoreitcally could make a buyout offer.
mike_c: in a lot of public companies
the market cap is related
to what you could acquire
the whole company for.
danielpbarron: i
thought it seemed high
too, but i'm not in a rush
to sell my 204 shares, so...
cazalla: mircea_popescu is right on
that ball park figure
mike_c: who knows. lots of straws on
the camel back
today.
mike_c: geezus, my fucking blood pressure
today.
mike_c: obviously, since you can't buy
the company for 8k.
mike_c: nevermind, i don't even want
to get into it.
mike_c: i see
the stock price right now as one of
two
things.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suspek jurov is perhaps in
the best position
to write you a short of some kind.
mike_c: too high as compared
to
the discounted future cash flow.
mircea_popescu: it's a nonsense statement, "mkt cap is fine, stock price
too high"
mike_c: i'm saying
the stock price is
too high, not
the market cap.
mircea_popescu: anyway jurov may be able
to write you a contract, seeing how he probably has a large chunk
mike_c: ah, yeah. i'm not saying qntra is currently worth more
than 45 btc.
mike_c: plus whatever
they get for being authors
mike_c: ^
that should just be what
they have from being owners, no?
mike_c: a lot can change in a year. but i don't
think
there are enough shares in existence
to make it worth it anyway. i mean, what, bingo maybe has 50k shares?
thestringpuller: mike_c: you realize
there aren't enough shares
to push down
the bids right now?
mike_c: I don't
think we'd have
the same quantity or
timeframe in mind.
mike_c: but i was more
thinking i should borrow shares from a founder and short it.
mike_c: what, write another article saying what
the price should be? I already did
that.
thestringpuller: funny what a little demand will do
to
the price of something
mike_c: i'm a fan, but
that stock price! idk.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> danielpbarron: in other news, i got netbsd ramdisk
to build. << great work! &
thanks for posting a
tarball.
