nubbins`: light and fluffy or 80

☟︎ decimation: kinda like how the arabs realized they could ask for 50
% of the oil revenue instead of a few pennies
mircea_popescu: but my point being : on the basis of an order from someone whose yearly gross revenue is 40
% of the value of the order
mircea_popescu: i am absolutely convinced that 99
% of the soi dissant software engineers are in fact "web experts" of the "i dont no biari (i know a littel java.)" ilk
mircea_popescu: while i expect your 90
% figure of ee's working for govt is only met if you actually count every us public company as an agency of the usg (a position not exactly undefensible, people still do the same to stuff like gazprom etc, notwithstanding the ru oligarchs actually have a lot more independence than the us "ceo"s of public corps),
decimation: I would venture to guess that 90
% of those remaining 271,000 work directly or indirectly for usg
mircea_popescu: "The amazing thing about the platform is that it is a flat fee. This means that although our traffic has grown 350
% year on year our costs have not changed. The depth of their out of the box features plus ecosystem of plugins ensured that we did’t have to worry about commodity features such as SEO, site maps and editorial workflows as someone else had built and open sourced an approach."
ben_vulpes: umpteen fucking centuries of having the bottom 90
% snipped off of your ethnic group is much more pertinent
decimation: apparently mars is 1
% perchlorate which fucks with your thyroid
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 13:08:35; gabriel_laddel: What I find so lulzy about the whole situation is that if you take the supposed Zionist lit and the /pol/ people 100
% seriously it basically reduces to "jews think that others are cattle"
mircea_popescu: there's like 1k 470 ohm bits exactly, and then 10 items at 230, which make it be +-5
% over the batch
mircea_popescu: weird. "for your convenience, we have packed five half-resistence resistors separately, to bring the average to a 5
% tolerance as you required"
gabriel_laddel: What I find so lulzy about the whole situation is that if you take the supposed Zionist lit and the /pol/ people 100

☟︎ danielpbarron: i'd define it the way they do: a fork of bitcoin that gets 80
% consensus from miners (or 75
% or 95
%, whatever magic number they want)
Adlai: army tactic: let 99
% pass unmolested, anally inspect the random 1
%. (and call in female sergeant for the other inspection)
mike_c: danielpbarron: you need to be 75
% confident to break even
fluffypony: "If over 10
% of your submissions and conversation are your own site/content/affiliate links, you're almost certainly a spammer."
fluffypony: danielpbarron: yes, there's a 10
% rule
adlai spent >90
% of his lifelong screen-watching-time in the army
mircea_popescu: isn't nice"/up to whatever libertarded snuff miss the point by a planetsize. his capital 100
% consists of reliably telling "authorities" to go fuck themselves. sorta like me, in his field.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2015 19:03:30; asciilifeform: the folks who are willing to use 'lynx' for 100
% of their www needs already know who they are.
saifedean: i should have said: "25
% of americans suffer from..."
saifedean: my brother is in med school and today he reported to me that according to the latest DSM, 25
% suffer from psychiatric disorders... won't be long before they get this up to 100
% mircea_popescu: punkman actually exports are funnay 20
% gold 5
% jewelry 5
% diamonds. total jew country.
saifedean: it was 91
% before the war, then the socialist scum managed to fuck shit up in the war, and destroyed the currency in 1983, it went from 3 Liras/USD to around 2,000Lira/USD
saifedean: the value of the gold in the central bank's reserves at market price was equal to 91
% of the value of all the currency
saifedean: before civil war in 1975, currency was 91
% backed by gold, almost a gold standard
mircea_popescu: anyway, "society" is broad. the vc game is just to flip the ponzi to larger fools. they succeed 55
% of the time or so.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> the end result has maybe 30
% 'original' parts << old men don't want the original parts of their wife, they just want a construct that looks like the wife did, in 72.
decimation: pete_dushenski: it's hard for the 'capitalists' to refuse china's offer to 100
% subsidize their manufacturing business

decimation: so at 20
% rate, usg pays $3.6 trillion in interest per year. current annual tax revenue is $3.1 trillion
decimation: not only will usg be paying all of its tax revenue to debtors, the fed's $4.5 trillion worth of 3
% mortgages won't look so good
decimation: pay the little people 0
% when inflation is well above 10
%?
cazalla: (and yes i know that this cannot be 100
% trusted)
mircea_popescu: but as a theoretical, probably impractical solution. otherwise, 1-2
% hikes each quarter for the next 3-5 years would be what a sane cb would do
decimation: the problem is, if you raise rates to the 18
% per annum that real estate prices in new york imply, you quickly find that usg is paying all its tax to debtors
decimation: and 10 year treasuries went from
%2.1 to
%2.25 just today
mircea_popescu: and 0
% of the "responsibility to govern". if two dukedoms over someone makes clitoris stu, expect nobody to care.
mircea_popescu: expect the aspirational 20
% to murder the rest of the 40
% in the process of selecting the half of itself that may go on.
cazalla: maybe qntra needs quotas so that 30
% of readers are women
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not to mention the earth is about 80
% nickel and iron by mass.
trinque: of course, yet what, 5
% population decline, maybe 10?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 40
% or 90
% is purely a wordchoice matter, much like the zhim thing. 5
%ish is where it matters.
thestringpuller: like seriously, high wealth sims are only happy at like 4
% mircea_popescu: any system where taxes exceed maybe 6 or 7
% is de facto a command economy,
danielpbarron: mats, was 60
% enough to make up for the drop in USD/BTC price?
mats: i managed to make ~60
% ROI in the 13 months ive had a coinbr account
mircea_popescu: sure, it's "not been 100
