decimation: undata: re: Kiyosaki
<< yeah I had a friend who tried to get me to go to 'rich dad poor dad' stuff. sounded like a scam, is a scam, etc.
mircea_popescu:
<ben_vulpes> now it's inanities like the street tax to pave the ghetto.
<< srsly, paving the ghetto, for as long as it uses forced labour of the inhabitants and very rudimentary tools, and it's done in the middle of the summer, is a splendid idea.

<< there is some merit to the ford story, but specifically, that he majorily cut down on staff turnover by "overpaying". except all the other idiots were not accounting for training costs (in the form of, not building anything too complex)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> reading for the first time about 'joyent', i couldn't help but wonder - what are these 'technologies' actually for? if they were erased from the good earth overnight, would i notice ?
<<< if node.js were erased you would notice.
mircea_popescu:
<asciilifeform> honouring the 'lifetime warranty' for all the chumps put together - would this even add up to the cost of one lawyer-week ?

<badon> More seriously, VC's like to see a business leadership that is personally highly invested into the business with their own financial resources.
<< lol return of spamgun?
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: what a useless discussion of trust
<<< that's what fucking happens with noobs ALL THE DAMNED TIME. But they know better! But why won't people who do thinks professionally consider their input! But amateurism is a do-ocracy! But reasons! But considerations! But he's not read five years of tardstalk so five years of tardstalk has never happened. Let's do it again!

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: with this kind of design it's trivial to turn end over end and stop extremely quickly.
<<< someone's fascinated with dragonflies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JP-4_(fuel) << "JP-4 was a non-conductive liquid, prone to build up static electricity when being moved through pipes and tanks. As it is volatile and has a low flash point, the static discharge could cause a fire.

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: master bitcoin repository repository is currently at 295000
<< bitcoin ovopository ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: So, a lawyer is inquiring what my hourly rate is as an expert witness... What does everyone else charge?
