mircea_popescu: personally i blame
the school system.
this new idea whereby instead of beating
them every
time
they fail
to consult
the dictionary upon encountering an unknown world
they're encouraged
to guess "based on context" what "it might mean"
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, I would like
to bootstrap a bit farther and need
to make further milestones
that have a nontrivial cost for me.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, because
that was over a year ago, and
that was
to
the company.
mircea_popescu: pLambert no, because kids know better
than
to read anything anyway
pLambert: mircea_popescu: do we need another
trilema post about how
things are supposed
to work?
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, well, considering
that
the startup has already been financed
to an extent, your statement is false. Something can't be unfinanceable if it has been financed.
mircea_popescu: nothing can be used
to finance what you're doing you fuckwit you.
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, I don't
think a bank loan can be used
to finance what I'm doing. If it could
there would be no need for angels in
the world.
mircea_popescu: you misunderstand how
things work
to an amusing degree.
ninjashogun: likewise,
the person
that I basically actually have done all
the legwork with, shared many forms of contact, etc, and agreed on basic
terms - I also met online (different channel.)
ninjashogun: last week or w/e I also connected with people. Didn't find
the right match. Different people could be in here now.
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun you
think something magically changed since last week or w/e ?
mircea_popescu: at
this rate we'll probably end up with a "no soliciting" rule.
ninjashogun: is anyone here interested in loans? (I'm
trying
to raisie one as part of bootstrapping my hardware startup)
mircea_popescu: yeah it was like "i'm shooting
this pencilneck" "dude what
the fuck do you care about some random us pencilneck. go
to peru, build
there."
mircea_popescu: ended up with a fucking bitter legal fight and eventually left
the place with
the idea
that
the us is a pre-modern shithole
mircea_popescu: romanian friends went
to us, bought land, proceeded
to build (proper) house
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you can build whatever
the fuck you please as long as you own
the land.
dub: was
thinking about putting something like
this behind my place as a bar/bbq kitchen
mircea_popescu: The appeal by Megan Williams was dismissed because
the 'benefits of
the development did not outweigh
the harm
to
the character and appearance of
the countryside'.
ozbot: Couple lose fight
to save 'hobbit house' eco-home from demolition - Wales Online
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so move
to missouri. you can live in a beer can
tower
there
moiety: asciilifeform:
there was a couple here built an amazing house and
they had
to
tear it down becauseit didn't qualify
moiety: mircea_popescu: exactly! discovering containers aren't really 'up'
though now XD
moiety: you qould buy it if you were
to live in it
though right
moiety: yes but
to save having
to bury it
moiety: asciilifeform: couldn't you sort of paint
the inside iof it with cement?
mircea_popescu: pLambert
the implied simply
translates
the fact
that
the earnigns and
the price signals are averages and so... a guess.
pLambert: yeah, I know how
to get PE, but what is a P/E implied value?
mircea_popescu: moiety
there are problems, such as due
to lack of foundations.
moiety: i bet
they don't look like
that mircea_popescu
pLambert: mircea_popescu: in your statements you keep saying "The P/E implied value per share is so far 0 BTC." What is
that going
to say when you do have earnings? Do you have a PE value you will calculate an estimated price from?
mircea_popescu: moiety yeah well,
the poor of india live in containers since
the 50s
mircea_popescu: ps : for
the people not doing agrifutures : gf is
the code prefix for feeder cattle.
moiety: yes you can mircea_popescu in fact, loads of
them at once!
benkay`: china ships 'em over and
then doesn't want
them back.
pLambert: what is
this, a bitbet not based on bitcoin? Absurd!
ozbot: Twitter / BBCBreaking: Russia
test-fires ...
benkay`: BitcoinPropagand: austerity has neat
type design, i just don't care about austerity at all.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves back in 2012 i
think ? kako had an insurance deal on which usagi's cpa paid out
ozbot: Calling out
the Bitcoin Foundation Scam.
benkay`: that
thing where you have shares off
the exchange
mircea_popescu: rather
than pay 0.3xprofit
to
the 3mn shares outstanding
mircea_popescu: basically i paid
the entire profit
to
the 3mn shares outstanding
benkay`: didn't you just pay
to less
than
the nominal float?
mircea_popescu: as mpex won't let you pay for less
than
the records show, and you don't want
to pay for more.
mircea_popescu: benkay` but in seriousness :
the float in
the div command allows 3rd parties
to verify
the float.
mircea_popescu: im just slightly distraught
that
there's no way i can blame
this on kakobrekla
FabianB_: i guess it's
the only sane way
to move it
to next month
ThickAsThieves: better bet yes on altcoin market cap bet
to cover losses
benkay`: it just introduces an opportunity
to screw
things up.
benkay`: why does
the div command even have a notional float?!
FabianB_: but i
think it should be around 37 satoshi
mircea_popescu: Mar 04 11:24:30 <assbot>[MPEX] [S.BBET] [PAID] 3.68215411 BTC
to 3`000`000 shares, 122 satoshi per share
FabianB_: mircea_popescu: i have
the feeling i got
too much ;)
mircea_popescu: FabianB_ report published, dividend paid, was
there a problem ?
Mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: what do you
think future revenues look like after
the changes
benkay`: thinking
they're running companies
benkay`: everyone's retarded and incapable of doing
things
deadweasel: i exist,
therefore rate me a positive 1
