Bugpowder: yeah, SDICE up 1300 in
the last 100 bets over 10
Bugpowder: Anyone else notice
that
there has be some semi-whale like action on s.dice
tonight?
Diablo-D3: yes, but both of
those ARE valid business models
mircea_popescu: it's somewhere between "dressing up mathlab for idiots" and "conversations with aliens and spirits of
the departed"
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 i dunno either way. i still don't really comprehend what
they did.
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: back me up about
the insanity part
Diablo-D3: yeah, when you lose 15 billion,
the money didnt even really exist
Diablo-D3: as a programmer and as someone who views both
the law and business as domain specific languages,
thats insane
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder no, srsly ? using algorithms
to optimize internal shit ?
Bugpowder: Like using algorithms
to optimize internal shit
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder
to
this day i didn't understand what microstrategy was making.
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: everyone got
to walk away with a sore asshole after
the GLBSE bust
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: like I said, I had lots of community help on
that one
Diablo-D3: I
think my selection criteria of safe bets is
too conservative
Diablo-D3: I have
trouble picking companies
that will fail
Diablo-D3: I know people who made money during
the bubble, and
then lost it when it popped; made it and kept it; and
then made it DURING
the pop
mircea_popescu: for some reason it's easier for me
to pick companies
that will fail
than ones
that will succeed.
Diablo-D3: there was lots of money
to be made from
that
Diablo-D3: and various long
term shit has been going on since before ww2
Diablo-D3: its been kinda scammy since
the 70s
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: and over
the past, oh, 5 years or so, Ive learned why it never made sense, it really is just a giant scam
Diablo-D3: it never made sense
to me because it all looked like a giant ponzi
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: its not like securities are a new
thing for me
Bugpowder: from
things
that require mouseover ajax calls
Bugpowder: yeah I could pay less but
this is a bit
tricky job
Diablo-D3: constant cashflow is better
than large profits
Diablo-D3: the cash flow is positive, dont get me wrong, its just not
that far from zero
Diablo-D3: there are companies
that hold massive assets
that have pretty shitty cash flow
Diablo-D3: its like a competition of
The Aristocrats
mircea_popescu: i don't pick girls by
the criterion "largest
tit most exposed"
Diablo-D3: like, whowever has
the most unique weirdest circus act wins
Diablo-D3: they're starting
to feedback into
themselves weirdly
mircea_popescu: by now all
they're doing is comparing which "team" has
the weirdest approach
to stand-up
mircea_popescu: in
their constant quest for "insight" about companies
they kept going into sidechannels
Diablo-D3: whoever produces
the smallest lightest easiest mvp wins
Diablo-D3: the problem with
the silicon valley atm is
the mvp achievements
mircea_popescu: tho it's a moot point, it just documents
their most recent blunder
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: pg isnt
the big bad
though
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: before I click, is
that pro pg or anti pg?
Diablo-D3: nyRednek: so Im in
the middle of cleaning
that up and going for another attempt
Diablo-D3: my first attempt was a failure because
the stock exchange owner backstabbed everyone
Diablo-D3: nyRednek: I
tried getting a company
to
take off
mircea_popescu: to our advantage
the silicon valley world is slowly moving
towards a pure circus act.
Diablo-D3: basic is more
than wishful
thinking but below mvp
Diablo-D3: failure
to mvp instead of outright scam or just wishful
thinking
mircea_popescu: the
thing is we need
to move away from cablepair and lambert
type of failures
to more economically
tolerable
types of failure
Diablo-D3: even when
the companies fail, it produces more economic output
than went in
Diablo-D3: but it produces an amazingly
thriving economy
