mod6: nice pics of the beach.
mod6: i lul'd about the food in the icebox.
mircea_popescu: mod6 hey, you spend a year teaching goy chicks to make proper matzah balls, you're not gonna sit around and hope maybe one of the local tupi tribesmen managed to impale an edible iguana that evening.
mod6: mircea_popescu: makes sense. sounds like you're prepared.
mod6: Ready to have a nice evening out with a picnic.
BingoBoingo: And in latest developments, China Mobile is making a push for my attention again, this time offering 10 and 20 Gbps ports. Still no numbers yet.
BingoBoingo: ^ asciilifeform this suggests 100 Mbps may be eliciting the same response from the connectivity endowed as request for 1U

BingoBoingo: "You could now go to court and deny that it was you that signed something—there would be no way to prove it, because theoretically, anyone could have worked out your private key." << WTF Mate?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi, apparently the idiotreich by now imagines i have to make the case, not it.
mircea_popescu: phf who the fuck is some tool named david know or have to say about "ruble" anyway
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 19:42 mircea_popescu: but since we're doing this : lewin's "50k competition business idea" runs a quarter million boxes in something like a coupal thousand dcs. to compare and contrast with
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-12#1724349 mircea_popescu: so, this entity has Gross Receipts on the level of about 2.5bn, for simplicity.
mircea_popescu: Gross Margin is specifically what's left of revenue (aka GR) once you substract the capital costs. that's maintenance, amortization, scl.
mircea_popescu: possibly something like 50% GM makes sense, at least at the level of precision contemplated here. it's not so far off to say that a) the lifetime of a box is a year ; b) the lifetime cost of a box is about 5k and c) there are no other capital goods in akamai.
mircea_popescu: these are all gross approximations, of course, but not really THAT far off.
mircea_popescu: Net Margin is what's left of the GM once all human costs have been substracted. this includes all salaries, ALL TAX, compliance, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: because no, as a point of republican ideology no tax is anything other than a salary.
mircea_popescu: (and in other lulz :
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/akam ; now try and find their fucking annual reports, and when the link 404s think to yourself that hey, this is perfectly fine, after all it's nasdaq, a perfectly legitimate scamsite, because pantsuit says so! for ourdemocracy vorwarts!!!)
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is nasdaq.com linking to companyspotlight.com that seo-redirects to orderanualreports.com any fucking different from randomscamsite.lol redirecting to fakeoffers.hurr redirecting to 419emergency.site ?
mircea_popescu: but let's talk instead of what proof i have that the proof there displayed is proving anything, amirite.
mircea_popescu: (oh and since we're on usg tools : nominum, nsa's shell company used in the "community consensus" building of the reformed dns system etc, ended up parked in akamai's basement for "an undisclosed amount" earlier this year. which is how these work and why they exist in the first place.)
mod6: Yup, sounds good jurov. Thanks!
phf: mircea_popescu, asciilifeform i will admit i didn't read the article, original is in ru, various english transcommentaries are no better than this david guy.
mircea_popescu: i fucking hate fucktards who post web quality pics with "by random schmuky hipster" bylines.
mircea_popescu: it takes a very special sort of tard to buy subdomains off co.uk's blog.
phf: i'd rather look ad david in lower resolution
mircea_popescu: anyway, i would expect "his interest in russia" dates from the 90s, back when he was a 39 yo bachelor "looking to expand his dating horizons"
phf: “He was previously an award-winning music journalist, and has blogged about music at Rocknerd since 2001. He is a volunteer spokesman for Wikipedia, and is on the board of the RationalMedia Foundation, host of skeptical wiki RationalWiki. Originally from Australia, he lives in east London with his spouse Arkady and their daughter. Until he reinstalled the laptop they were on, he was the proud owner of six Dogecoins.”

mircea_popescu: so i've been for the past 15 minutes reading about the problems of poor people. jesus christ who even gives a twinkling fuck.
mircea_popescu: also, teeny scorpions album covers are a problem now ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently that ancient picture of a whatever she was, 12 yo mostly naked resulted in some sort of turmoil.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, they had a thing going in the 80s, most all of the slowly-irrelevantizing bands of "classic rock" put out pre-fuck chick covers.
mircea_popescu: "In a 2008 interview, Schenker added "We would never again do something like this".[11] The band's former lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth notes that the cover art of the "old Scorpion albums" were "usually done by other people".[10] He has since expressed regret over the original album cover: Looking at that picture today makes me cringe. It was done in the worst possible taste. Back then I was too immature to see that." and bull
mircea_popescu: people really need to stop paying attention to old twat's "taste" and generally expectations.
mircea_popescu: whatever, minor band in the later days of a minor subculture.
mircea_popescu: Vcalist Klaus Meine explains that the band's penchant for controversial cover art stems from a desire "to go over the edge" and not "to offend some people or make the headlines [as] that would be stupid" << what the fuck does this even mean ?
