ben_vulpes hey, i have various cos paying 3% of gross in ro. works great for high margin operations. |
| 15:40 |
mircea_popescu |
(no, it's not "on top of everything". it's either of net or of gross, your option._ |
| 15:40 |
asciilifeform |
why would anybody ~want~ to pay of-gross ? |
| 15:41 |
mircea_popescu |
because cheapewr. |
| 15:41 |
asciilifeform |
how's that work ? |
| 15:41 |
asciilifeform |
3% of X > 3% of (X-y), where y>0, neh ? |
| 15:42 |
mircea_popescu |
suppose you have 1mn gross receipts. if you pay 3% of gross, you're paying 30k. if you instead pay 16% of net, you'll have to produce expenses worth 850k before it's cheaper that way. |
| 15:42 |
mircea_popescu |
discount cost of expenses is about 6-7% depending, meaning it's not worth it to buy them straight. |
| 15:43 |
ben_vulpes |
there is no 'either' on the table here. |
| 15:43 |
ben_vulpes |
femfuhrer simply wants 1% of the largest pile in sight. |
| 15:43 |
mircea_popescu |
yes, but you were discussing the thing in general, so i gave you specific example of exception. |
| 15:43 |

i dun see, still, how %-of-net can possibly be greater or equal to %-of-gross |
| 15:44 |
trinque |
asciilifeform: because they can argue a greater percentage of "omg they were just going to pocket it" than of "and we also have to pay things you don't know about" |
| 15:44 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform yes, but then you have to actually have the expenses. and then the inept game of "oh, disallowed extemption, we decided you owe money retrospectively plus penalties etc" |

anyway. i personally know two ... groups, let's say, that triedf the whole take over game. leaving aside the petty private satisfactions [of jailing the other trailer park trash they grew up with], economically it's been improductive. |

there is no difference in this sense between nubbins, an idle idiot, and nanotube, a respectable professor. scammers known like theymos and lukejr, supposedly honest idiots like szabo, agents known like gavin or unknown like whatever others have this much in commom -- the call was made, and they strayed. |

no way to wash this, and i will prosecute them. all, the same scum. |

the whole "so email him" comes with quite the heavy backhand. there's no washing of the treason of not showing up. |

unrelatedly, 'finite precision number systems and arithmetic' (kornerup & matula, cambridge press) is mega-b00k, the only one i've found on subj that is NOT a mere plagiarism of knuth, has useful algos for e.g. carry-free ops, hardwarizations |

ben_vulpes let me guess, the ever-sweet delusion that there's room "for everyone" and that whether random sack of flesh burns or achieves is somehow my fucking problem, not its fucking problem, cuz im supposed to be his mommy. |

more of a sad little "what would getting into the wot at this late date get me anyways?" |
| 19:22 |
mircea_popescu |
isn't this a little like the 18 yo girlie asking "what'd getting into fucking this late get me anyways, people'd been fucking forever" |

obviously not the fucking same question for the deeply retarded female that waited to be 50 first. |

notwithstanding that a) trump decides what's secret and what isn't and b) lolreally ? wtf did the blue state imagine diplomacy is ? reading the fake news outloud ? |
| 22:52 |

hey, theoretically he also decides whether to import aztlan or not |

trump loves suing people; what prevents him as president for suing the rag for libel? |

In other news I think I accidently acquired alf's pole saw from hell |
| 22:57 |
BingoBoingo |
Fucking piece of shit has "automatic oiler" that consists of leak half of oil reservoir between filling and picking up saw |
| 22:58 |

they sell the oil I take it? |
| 22:58 |

if not, not getting the full printer-ink out of the scam. |

lol BingoBoingo , mine had no oiler, i had to take it to pieces half dozen times and put molybdenum in |
| 23:01 |
BingoBoingo |
lol |

asciilifeform |
chain wasn't fond of staying on |
| 23:05 |
BingoBoingo |
Constantly readjusting chain tension happens with small bars, nbd. Dumping 90 weight straight through alleged "reservoir" and calling it automatic oiling is sin. |

BingoBoingo should have heeded alf's warning on the concept of pole mounted chainsaw and simply skipped to 36" bar and attacked tree at the stump |
| 23:31 |
mircea_popescu |
i thought you just keep uncapped barrel of oil around, dip chainsaw in now and again. |
| 23:33 |
BingoBoingo |
Nah, that's how you cut metal with not a chainsaw |
