mircea_popescu: how the fuck is nasdaq.com linking to companyspotlight.com that seo-redirects to orderanualreports.com any fucking different from randomscamsite.lol redirecting to fakeoffers.hurr redirecting to 419emergency.site ?
mircea_popescu: (and in other lulz :
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/akam ; now try and find their fucking annual reports, and when the link 404s think to yourself that hey, this is perfectly fine, after all it's nasdaq, a perfectly legitimate scamsite, because pantsuit says so! for ourdemocracy vorwarts!!!)
mircea_popescu: because no, as a point of republican ideology no tax is anything other than a salary.
mircea_popescu: Net Margin is what's left of the GM once all human costs have been substracted. this includes all salaries, ALL TAX, compliance, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: these are all gross approximations, of course, but not really THAT far off.
mircea_popescu: possibly something like 50% GM makes sense, at least at the level of precision contemplated here. it's not so far off to say that a) the lifetime of a box is a year ; b) the lifetime cost of a box is about 5k and c) there are no other capital goods in akamai.
mircea_popescu: Gross Margin is specifically what's left of revenue (aka GR) once you substract the capital costs. that's maintenance, amortization, scl.
mircea_popescu: so, this entity has Gross Receipts on the level of about 2.5bn, for simplicity.
mircea_popescu: phf who the fuck is some tool named david know or have to say about "ruble" anyway
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi, apparently the idiotreich by now imagines i have to make the case, not it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 hey, you spend a year teaching goy chicks to make proper matzah balls, you're not gonna sit around and hope maybe one of the local tupi tribesmen managed to impale an edible iguana that evening.
mircea_popescu: first they get some convicted criminal to steal some data and start a site, then they use it to prop their hallucinations re bitcoin and fiat, then they pretend it was all illegal, then they run off with it, then they start a few more, it's like watching housewives fuck/
mircea_popescu: i think the evolution of the usg reclaimation of their own buterin waterfals is well documented by now, it's always the same thing.
mircea_popescu: hey, they waited, we let them. takes two legs for usg to walk on.
mircea_popescu: in this perspective, the empire became an absolute necessity, topless Republique glorieuse y compris, once the literary salons ran their course.
mircea_popescu: if the merchant being "Stolen" from doesn't believe he could be a fieldmarchal's father one day, what sells him on it ?
mircea_popescu: well, so applying this to the french revolution point of interest -- you're going to end up with a lot of "kings are bad, mkay, notwithstanding monarchy is the only workable system" because... because how else is napoleon to pass legislation allowing pregnant women to eat anything off the market stalls and not be punished for it ?
mircea_popescu: both did the right thing. first, teardown of the nonsense, with a lot of "unnecessary" collateral damage -- except if it weren't damaged it'd have been way the fuck necssary to damage it.
mircea_popescu: a) that there was no direct route from imperial ranks to soviet ranks and b) that therefore the lenin moment is JUST AS necessary and "Correct" or how you call it as stalin's. there's no "error".
mircea_popescu: anyway, to underscore : i don't mean "cultural degradation" in some kind of paseist "o woe, things used to be great". no. rather, things used to suck and it finally became obvious what the problem is exactly. and as luck usually has it in such contexts, first you gotta throw out all the babies with all the bathwaters, then draw new baths, make new babies...
mircea_popescu: and so hafta go through the whole mess to sort it out.
mircea_popescu: this is not an easy thing to do, precisely because it's such a deep, far reaching matter.
mircea_popescu: the ancient culture predicated on the ♂/♀ split had to be replaced with a more effectual eloi/moloch split.
mircea_popescu: and cultural degradation here means something very specific -- it is all brought about by the hajnal fault line.
mircea_popescu: because the size of the genetic universe of possibility / potential space is so entirely immense, all of european history wouild not have sufficed to perceptibly alter anything even if directed deliberately.
mircea_popescu: the historical approach to this divide, proclaiming women dumb "by nature" and splitting the cake that way is evidently suboptimal and won't be revisited.
mircea_popescu: there ARE alternate sources of energy. there's no alternate source of intelligence. cunt is all there is.
mircea_popescu: the numbers here look better than the numbers for oil, however.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-16#1725827 << in fact this is the very substance of the argument : because of the immense inertia involved, it is "safe" to have children spawned by the idiots. the large numbers of non-idiots or should i say not-specifically-selected-for-idiocy antecessors will slowly filter back out, so you get something for nothing.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, sino-egyptian pre-greek contact is very likely.
mircea_popescu: what's the expectation, that we'll leak key or what exactly.
mircea_popescu: o hey, check that out! this was actual RST injection : my box received a rst "from" peer (185.30.166.38) whereas that peer simply saw me drop. in other words, the above conn loss was factually third party DoS.
mircea_popescu: and yet you believe that your memory could be scalarily improved, thereby scalarily leading to a gain of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: quite, i have no intention to defend that polyp of insanity.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, it is further proposed that such exogamy is mandatory, the superior group will simply enslave the females of all others.
mircea_popescu: even without exogamy between these putative groups it is proposed the future costs of this approach ("draining the gene pool") are a) negligible and b) verty distant in the future. as in, 10`000s of years distant
mircea_popescu: it is then predicated that a group of such described individuals which burdens the subzeros with reproduction ands the suprazeros with everything else will outperform in the petri dish any groups doing any other thing,
mircea_popescu: while two suprazero individuals who will also most likely spawn a 0 produce a net loss in expected value through similar replacement.
mircea_popescu: in this formalism, two subzero individuals will most likely spawn a 0, producing a net gain in expected value through their replacement with their offspring.
mircea_popescu: 4. let it be the case that all individuals can be scalarily sorted by value on a gaussian centered on 0.
mircea_popescu: 3. let F display all the reverse-to-mean and other properties as observed in the fenotype function f as it is naturally apllied on human genetics.
mircea_popescu: 2. let there be defined an intelligence, as the calculated hash of this genotype, by unreversible function F.
mircea_popescu: 1. let there be a sexuate organism with a total 10 chromosomes with 100 loci each with 10 possible alelels for each locus and no other epigenetic phenomena whatsoever. no gene synonymy, nothing.
mircea_popescu: but anywya, the theory is still sound. let me formalize.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how am i to be a wild-eyed reformer seeing prophetically into the great future when you keep bringing these pesky details to show just how fragile the whole edifice is!
mircea_popescu: i don't see any of them here, is the logic, so they were gassed at 0 cost.
mircea_popescu: and it being the job of economy to find places where we can hide our misery under the rug, it then so stands : we can extract value out of this happenstance, so let's.
mircea_popescu: so, in short : the theory here is that it's perfectly safe to try and extract value out of human genetics by forcing the work of spawning be done by the least qualified part of society, because the universe of genetic possibility is indeed so great the damage thus done is negligible, and moreover for many centuries to come readily compensated by the benefit of miscegenation, ie more dispersed more deep exogamy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but that article discusses "independent" "agents" not slavegirls/
mircea_popescu: a job whose products regress to the mean is properly allocated to the lowest quality workers that can be found.
mircea_popescu: they do regress to the mean, but then again you don't want the girls to use them as spawners anyway.
mircea_popescu: i'd much rather have a flock of girls spawned by the common man who despise their stupid mothers ; than a flock of girls spawned by whatever set of bio-selected women however you care to select them.
mircea_popescu: the problem with the physical extinction is that culture is more important than biology to the modern human.
mircea_popescu: but back to the practical point : "retired" ben lawsky could not find a job with usg.comcast. leaving aside that argentine ben lawsky would not be retired by mp, because likely protected by complex orc tribal structure -- he WOULD very much end up at telco ag.
mircea_popescu: and really the whole point of civilised society is the cheap, effectual castration of losers.
mircea_popescu: he who receives a concession despises the concessor, sees self as no partner with the idiot.
mircea_popescu: hence, argentina, australia, retarded "we too" orc ourdemocracies thoroughly convinced that soy farmers can build a country like they saw in unilever commercials.
