mircea_popescu: there's only so much
tiresome-unsexed-mayogendered
that can be produced. so not much alternative content available.
mircea_popescu: item only ever existed as a child porn / assorted bizarro
trading ring.
mircea_popescu: "censored reddits" is about 500%
the extant reddit by mass.

the egg+cheese. but
that was srsly a win.
mod6: i just made
the best BLT+fried egg+cheese sandwiches.
mod6: i've been saving my last
two bottles of borsec :D
mircea_popescu: a good cocktail is
that mix which is better
than
the sum of
the parts.
mircea_popescu: and in
today's harem cocktails : in a cocktail glass (the inverted cone on a stem) put shaved ice, cover with cinzano rosso, splash of cointreau.
mod6: asciilifeform: nice!
thanks :]
ben_vulpes: if you would
that would be great BingoBoingo
mod6: no,
thank you both!
mod6: the
thing has a home/landing page now devoid of all statements/blog info, so
this is good.
mircea_popescu: if
this ever
takes off you can do
two
things : a) have a banner rotator and b) have monthly or biannual or w/e spot auctions.
dw: we are admirers of your fine essays and eager
to subscribe
to your most serene republic
mircea_popescu: "i dun care how
tall" is a recipe for disaster down
the road.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, if you're going
to do
this, best
think about it, specify
the site for it.
mod6: i gotta creat a new one, gimp is limited, or im a bit limited in is usage. i'll make 320 x 132 if
that's suitable.
mod6: You want me
to make one
that size, I
think I can make a special one. Lemme
tinker on it here.
mod6: vert image is
the reverse 63px x 446px
mircea_popescu: btw, asciilifeform :
the phuctor design is narrow. plenty of space
to put stuff on
the sides, rather
than bottom, if you wantr.
mod6: We intend
to pay for
the advertising, unless nosuchlabs wants
to put it up for free as a friend.
mircea_popescu: well... maybe have
them make something
the same size as other items
there ?

mod6: this kvm is gonna be
the death of me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, weren't you about
to move on
the high seas, lefty from mullbery st. ?
mircea_popescu: kinda why boat should have nude babes, distract one when
this happens.
ben_vulpes: "you: wiggle
the
till. and you! get me a beer"
mircea_popescu: it is indeed depressing. like
traveling in
the desert, come
to
think of it.
mircea_popescu: really,
there's a lot of similarity between
the job of
the CFO (which... i gues... is what i'm doing here ?) for a company and
the job of a captain of a fore-and-aft rigged vessel.
mircea_popescu: currently
the financial position of pizarro is long cash / short
tangibles (90/10 or something like
that is
the split iirc ?) meaning it will gain when fiat depreciates and lose when it appreciates.
mircea_popescu: still : cash position protects against fiat depreciation (which is why unearned income acct hurt, it's a negative cash acct) ; whereas
tangibles position protects against fiat appreciation.
mircea_popescu: it didn't, so it could be argued it "missed out" on earning 5btc for its principals. but
that argument, like any other icahn-speculative
truths, is weak.
mircea_popescu: yes, if pizarro had 10 btc worth of gear end of q1,
then pizarro'd have had 15+ btc worth of gear
today.
mircea_popescu: well, consider
the situation in
the field.
the unearned income acct hurt, in
that pizarro will have
to service in
the future in excess of current fiat value ;
the capital goods acct helped, in
that
the servers it owns are worth more in btc
than
they were when bought.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am similarly poorly equipped
to speculate/trade, but now at recent lows strikes me as a bad
time
to convert btc
to cash (unless it goes lower, ofc)
mircea_popescu: what, and
turn it into a financial speculator ? usually firms go
that way after making so much revenue
they run out of capital goods
they might buy

this plan
to stockpile proper chips etc goes hand in hand with a republic-isp, incidentally, becauyse who else
to own hardware
mircea_popescu: in
the sense where "o god, paid in advance, at much higher nominal rate"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 17:18 ben_vulpes: i intend
to do
this for
the july bills.
mircea_popescu: does it seem
to you a maybe-isp, a mmorpg, some we don't have REs and some novel length fiction warrants a 100bn valuation for
the republic ?
mircea_popescu: ikr ?what fucking "new",
the last
time usg produced something new hruschev was still wearing his shoes.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for
the record we agree -- price's way
the fuck
too high consider what
the republic can provedly do as of yet.
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me
the implication would be
that "we've already"
the old.
mircea_popescu: i like how
they say "the new", as if it's somehow a workable substitute for "the stupid"
ben_vulpes: i had some suspicious activity in
the alley around my
trash last week, where's my blockchain analysis support
