mircea_popescu: the 2bn
they burned in 2017 comes out of a ~51bn piggy.
mircea_popescu: anyway ;
terminal (which hasn't been "updated"
to "newest in ux and gui" crap,
thankfully) lets us know
they have 170,593,000 shares outstanding, not counting warrants and options.
mircea_popescu: "there's a whole list of what people said about
the
thing you're wanting
to see ?" jesus.
mircea_popescu: "oh, no, mp, nevermind
that, would you like any of
these 5 instantaneous made up quote streams ?!?!" "no." "how about
the randomized news feed" "fuck off".
mircea_popescu: just
the insane way
that all is organized, 100% DESIGNED
to
turn
the eye
towards
the scam and away from
the actuarial backing. where
the fruck is
the fucking list of how much stock
they sold ?
mircea_popescu: and yet
tesla got
to pretend it's worth 300 a share ; and 2bn a year spending money out of
the "shareholder"'s piggy. where's
the mamie with 2bn
to spend, i wish
to see
this.
mircea_popescu: let's
take
the 2012
tesla s lulz : 581 kW
theoretical powerplant ; 100 kWh
theoretical battery pack. it's like a bmw with a
two ounce
tank!!!
mircea_popescu: because
the "oh, we don't DO hp anymore" is definitely coming out.
mircea_popescu: ask one of
the fucktards
this, sometime. "hey, mp's bmw has 270 hp under
the hood. what's your
tesla got ?"
mircea_popescu: you see ? it is actually very sensible, in
the "common sense" sense of sensibility.
mircea_popescu: as long as "engineering" and computer pseudoscience and
tesla and deeply dysfunctional entirely-not-a-chance-in-hell-of-ever-working-why-don't-you-talk-of-hp-anymore "electric" cars get money... on what grounds can you deny it
to irigaray and her brood ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform because
the "science" just as much on
the dole, and consequently
the main reason
the "grievances field" (i kinda like
the
term
tbh) even exists. << I didn't realise until
today
that I am one of
the leading indepenent scholars in greviances studies
mircea_popescu: the logic is sound, if you
think it
through : "we fat sexually worthless females, in a word we
the mamies, have
the following grievance : back when
the clever boys discovered new lands and made
train engines, you priviledged
them for
this reason. now --
they do not. why can't we also have
the payola
they get ?" "uhm..." "and if you don't like
this simple formulation, we can add 10mn words of rephrasings ?" "fuck"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because
the "science" just as much on
the dole, and consequently
the main reason
the "grievances field" (i kinda like
the
term
tbh) even exists.
BingoBoingo: Mind
that as recently as 2010 one of
the centers
there had just been inaugurated and
the older one was opening satellite facilities at Chinese universities
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
They closed shops plural. Apparently
the repurposed residential buildings are
there, but locked without grad students funded
to guard
the door.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes ;
the whole "field" has been
taking water for decade+.
mircea_popescu: exactly how
the other socialism played out -- by
the
time 1980 rolled around,
there were so many "responsibles"
to
the worker,
there was barely enough bread
to go around.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile a couple journals, a couple "centers of study", and a book series has been reduced
to... a book series
mircea_popescu: well of course,
this is
the problem with government-"solved" problems :
the solving produces
the problem, and
the only available response is
to dilute
the "solution". homeopathy for
the masses!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not as much getting as
they used
to get.
Today
the SIU department of Philosophy has 7 faculty members. Since I was
there were five promotions
to emeritus (some rather young) and at least
three other departures. In
the intervening decade
they have ONE new face on
their faculty web page.
mircea_popescu: the notion
that
the 1920s produced a whole lotta churchgoers is exactly of
the same cloth as
the notion
that
the 2000s produced a whole lotta academics, "discourse", "awareness" and what have you.
mircea_popescu: same exact
thing here -- great depression, church, bowl of soup.
mircea_popescu: what
they "say"... well
they ain't sayin' anything. in
the great depression lotta folk "listened" in church because only way
they'd get
the bowl of soup.
mircea_popescu: so
the notion
that somehow it could be undone by meaning... item exists economically. all
the women "liberated" from depending on a male are still just as dependent. much like all
the slaves "liberated" from slave owner are just as much slaves.
trinque: isn't as
though
they get real food out of it either, just velveeta and fungal breadlike. what's
to care about?
mircea_popescu: point of fact remains -- most zeks not useful in any sense. all zeks would still like
to eat.
this is
the conduit
through which
they get
their foodstamps.
mircea_popescu: the whole
thing is basically social payments extension.
there's a lot of idle schmuycks who expect
to get government freebies under
the
title of "doing"
this crap.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
That
thought influenced
the
title word choice. Can't kill a corpse, but you can still hit it for damage.
mod6: BingoBoingo: If you really want
to
take
this on, I won't object. I had
thought
that we would kinda go over it
together... but if you wanna work
through it and see how it goes,
that's fine. ben_vulpes
told me
that he would review
the report before we publish it again
this month.
BingoBoingo: Which is why unlike so many other finds it got
the early qntra mega block quote
treatment while so many other
things get
the archive.is
take it or leave it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Which is why it is entered into
the record. All of
the secondary reporting made finding
their report ON
THEIR OWN PROJECT a serious bitch.
mircea_popescu: pantsuit is not substantially different from any other inconsequential group of niggers
the white man subdued
to date.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
they have a point, only sane way
to look at
the orcs is as what
they are -- a primitive culture.
mod6: Yes, mircea_popescu, any help from hanbot, yourself, asciilifeform would be awesome. I just have
too many
things atm.
mod6: All I'm saying folks is
that I'm doing
the best
that I can with what I've got
to work with.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> I'm not going
to be done with
this report a few days ~at a minimum~. << I am here so you can unload
this on me
mod6: BingoBoingo just got me his numbers, so I can start calculations on
that stuff now. And I
think I'm about
to lock in a price point for October. Which we need not only
to keep
the lights on, but also so we can start invoicing folks so I don't
take another beating like I did in July.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform certainly better
than current "state of
the art"!
mod6: Hopefully it won't be
that bad
this
time, but I'm having
to learn all of
this stuff as I go.
mod6: Last month
took 17 days.
mod6: I'm not going
to be done with
this report a few days ~at a minimum~.
mod6: Once I have
those
things done, I can move on
to
these other
things. Unless mircea_popescu and asciilifeform find it prudent
that I drop what I'm doing
there and write whatever
this
thing is.
mod6: I gotta get
the report done for pizarro. I've also gotta lock in a price and get
the bills paid.
mod6: I mean, my
ticker can't keep up with
this stuff. Gonna give me a heart-attack.
mod6: I could probably start
there. I am getting winded here guys.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 16:26 asciilifeform: if mod6 is overloaded, i can give it a shot myself later
this wk, but imho
this is suboptimal, asciilifeform does not represent
tbf
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 16:24 asciilifeform: possibly idea for hanbot, who was considering
taking up
tbf , and is in fact experienced hand in subj
mod6: But I'd be glad
to have some help, if anyone is willing
to help ole mod6.
mod6: And for
the
time being, I've got Pizarro
things
that need doing.
mod6: I'm not at all sure, in every sense of
the word, of what
to write about
the subject. All I know was "bug found in core version 0.16.X"
mircea_popescu: and even
that aside -- gotta write
them, or otherwise vehehery
tenuously can say "r foundation". because
this is
the sorta
thing a foundation does, and
this one's chartered
to do -- outreach.
mircea_popescu: girls don't
think what you
think
they
think, not least of all because ~the only fucking reason~ you lie
to yourself about
thinking
that's what girls
think is so as
to save your lazy ass
the effort of ever
talking
to one.
mircea_popescu: "everyone
thinks gavin is
the expert", says alf, in 2018. but when in 2015 mp said "fuck gavin", gavin got fucked. everyone
thinks ?
mircea_popescu: why not use
the methods
that ARE PROVEN
TO WORK jaysus!
mircea_popescu: check it out, and it prevented
the fork, and you... frogot about it ? never used it again ?
mod6: i'll find it, just a minute.
then I gotta reivew
the rest of
the log, and move on
to pizarro
things.
mod6: I gotta dig it up. It was from
the "if you go on a fork..."
thing iirc.[
mod6: Oh,
that's what I
think we did last
time asciilifeform. deedbot.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if
these letters were already on www,
the "wtf is
this foundation doing" q would not have been needed last week.
mircea_popescu: absolutely.
then we can actuallky DISCUSS
them, rather
than
typically non-tmsr-esque "oh, i did something sometime i don't remember what i don't remember when and i didn't follow what happened".
