BingoBoingo decimation: November [00:00]
decimation https://powergen.gepower.com/plan-build/products/gas-turbines/9e-03-gas-turbine.html < would burn in something like this [00:00]

mircea_popescu there are some "universal fuel" power generators, mostly marketed to end user derps [00:07]
mircea_popescu because who the fuck else would not know what fuel he wants to burn [00:07]
mircea_popescu in any case the generality comes at an efficiency cost. [00:07]
decimation well, a turbine can burn anything. but it's true that if you are burning raw crude it will foul your turbine and require much more maintenance [00:08]
decimation because of all the solvents and other shit in the oil [00:08]
decimation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_GTELs < us railroads used to run these right through the middle of the countryside, belching foul shit [00:09]

BingoBoingo They still run through the middle of my countryside, still belch foul shit [00:10]
decimation yeah but probably all diesel now [00:10]
decimation it seems the real problem with burning crude or heavy fuel oil is that if you have enough civilization to refine the oil, you can make it into much more profitable products [00:13]
decimation the net effect being that the amount of 'heavy fuel' (bunker b and c) has shrunk compared to old process - making it more expensive than just using diesel [00:14]
decimation this isn't really true in areas that have no advanced refining available [00:14]

mircea_popescu soo... imo musk's electric car has failed to reach the sort of growth patterns and penetration goals it needed to survive. it therefore peaked sometime last year, and it will go the same way all the numerous attempts at an electric car since the 20s have went. [00:15]

decimation honestly elon musk strikes me as a highbrow scammer [00:21]
decimation he's figured out how to sell 'dreams' in exchange for usg subsidy and hype [00:21]
mircea_popescu this is the case of all us "entrepreneurs" active today. [00:22]
mircea_popescu what's mark cuban ? [00:22]
decimation to be fair, he does deliver products - rockets, cars, etc [00:22]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: musk is different in the sense of not running the usual 'populist' chumpatron [00:23]
mircea_popescu scammed yahoo out of a billion, once [00:23]
mircea_popescu made 100 different decisions since, 100 of which were wrong. [00:23]
decimation but the economic prospects appear highly dubious [00:23]
mircea_popescu a man batting < 1% is certainly not possessed of a clue in the field. [00:23]
asciilifeform yet he sleeps ad libitum. [00:23]
mircea_popescu all idiots sleep well. [00:23]
mircea_popescu that's the mark of idiocy. [00:23]
asciilifeform sorta the converse of the usual 'if yer so smart, why aitcha rich' line [00:23]
asciilifeform 'if he's such a moron, why does he sleep ad libitum and has no fear of having to do honest wurk' [00:24]
asciilifeform ditto branson [00:24]

mircea_popescu he's the business world equivalent of a russian prison whore. [00:24]
mircea_popescu every cock was in his asshole. [00:24]
asciilifeform yet no matter what these folks do, they never seem to end up begging for change [00:25]

mircea_popescu romania has a bunch of these "intreprinzatori de carton", ie, cardboard entrepreneurs. one notable case (currently in jail) got to keep ~2bn worth of romanian govt money in 1989, on condition of supporting his friends. [00:31]
mircea_popescu kept getting 3-500mn/year after that [00:31]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: these are sop in the orc world, ru being perhaps the absolute epicentre. but in usa they are especially lulzy on account of the elaborate presences of 'doing business' [00:32]
mats that was hyperbolic but you see my point yes? [00:32]
mircea_popescu mats the offer stands, you know. [00:32]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform just as ellaborate on the other side. [00:32]
mats hey, didn't say i'd bet against you [00:32]
mircea_popescu catering to different expecations, yes, but anyway [00:33]
mats they are massively overvalued right now and i would not be interested in taking the other side [00:33]
mircea_popescu aha. [00:33]
mats decimation: http://www.cnet.com/news/teslas-elon-musk-introduces-beautiful-money-saving-home-battery-back-up-system etc [00:33]
assbot Tesla's Elon Musk introduces 'beautiful' money-saving home battery backup system - CNET ... ( http://bit.ly/1HTs0I1 ) [00:33]
decimation yes, note that this battery system costs many times more than lead-acid [00:33]
decimation thus appealing to the kinds of people who want to store electricity but don't care about how much things cost [00:34]
trinque I've seen a great many Solar City fliers around, speaking of Musk. [00:34]
trinque (in Portland) [00:34]
trinque hilariously, these would be useless during the rainy season [00:35]
asciilifeform decimation: who 'doesn't care what it costs' - uses pumped hydro [00:35]
mircea_popescu anyway, yes they produce cars, and the model s sold a whopping... 75k units [00:35]
decimation trinque: they also rely heavily on subsidy [00:35]
mircea_popescu that's exactly detroit electric volume touched up for the intervening century. [00:35]
trinque decimation: certainly, and loose financing [00:35]
mats asciilifeform: yes, and all usable sources have already been dammed [00:35]
asciilifeform mats: ~pumped~ [00:35]
asciilifeform as in, gigantic bottles. [00:35]
mircea_popescu in retrospect, his going to war with the dealers sunk his car business. [00:35]
asciilifeform mats: energy storage. [00:36]
mats oh, right. up and down hills and mountains. [00:36]
mats i forgot how efficient it is [00:36]
asciilifeform beats li ion [00:36]
asciilifeform and the water - doesn't wear out after 200 cycles [00:36]
decimation yeah, as in pumping to high lake and draining when needed, like this plant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinorwig_Power_Station [00:36]
assbot Dinorwig Power Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1HTskGR ) [00:36]
mats fuck, people are still setting off fireworks in my area [00:37]
asciilifeform usg actually had (has?) some chick leading a crackpot mains current to hydrocarbon (yes, electrolysis + oddball catalysts) mega-wunderwaffen dept. in the navy [00:37]
asciilifeform no idea if it ever came up with a working nuke-to-petrol magic box. [00:38]
decimation asciilifeform: whatever for? [00:38]
decimation lol [00:38]
decimation if you wanna waste electricity like that, might as well just split water and use hydrogen [00:38]
asciilifeform fueling up jets from seawater + nuke plant, was the notion. [00:38]
asciilifeform can't do worth shit with h2 [00:38]
asciilifeform certainly not in a jet [00:39]
decimation yeah at least not in any existing ones [00:39]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 26400 @ 0.0005649 = 14.9134 BTC [+] [00:39]
asciilifeform anything involving gaseous h2 is the archetypical 'assembly line for ph.d.' [00:39]
asciilifeform ever seen a hose for liquid h ? [00:39]
decimation heh I've seen pictures [00:39]
mats any idea what fuels modern jets? certainly not jp-9 anymore? [00:39]
mircea_popescu just about. [00:39]
asciilifeform iirc same thing everyone else burns [00:40]
decimation kerosene, more or less [00:40]
mircea_popescu iirc the "ethanol jet" thing got canned [00:40]
asciilifeform jp-a [00:40]
mats >A kerosene-based fuel, JP-8 is projected to remain in use at least until 2025. It was first introduced at NATO bases in 1978. Its NATO code is F-34. [00:41]
mats how about that. late 70s tech still keeping the lights on. [00:41]
decimation sure, turbine burns kerosene just fine [00:41]
asciilifeform fuels haven't really changed (for the better) in a century. [00:42]
decimation you could also burn 'heavy fuel oil' in theory, but that's not a terribly great idea in a high reliablity application [00:42]
asciilifeform (for worse? sure! where i live, what comes out of the filling station is 10% ethanol ~by law~) [00:42]
decimation but the abrams tank would burn jp-8 just fine [00:42]
asciilifeform it will burn restaurant grease [00:42]
asciilifeform by some accounts [00:42]
decimation yeah, probably anything that will run through the pumps [00:43]

mircea_popescu something liek that [00:47]
mircea_popescu the alternative was also unpalatable tho. you don't want to engage in a bidding war with the dying gm/ford thing for their lasty remaining shred of relevancy [00:48]
mircea_popescu you'll end up overpaying. [00:48]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 49750 @ 0.00054734 = 27.2302 BTC [-] [00:48]
mircea_popescu in any case, as a fun tidbit : the 2010 tesla ipo, first us carmaker ipo since ww2, came to half the recently reported plenty of fish sale [00:48]
asciilifeform thing is, gm/ford vs tesla is a 'best horse in the glue factory' contest [00:48]
asciilifeform american automobility has a very short life expectancy as a going concern [00:49]
mircea_popescu (plenty of fish being the 5th or so dating site sold in a decade, which "Dating site" is the twelfth or so wheel on the social media band wagon) [00:49]
decimation the only american autos that 'actual people' buy are trunks [00:49]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform precisely. [00:49]
decimation trucks [00:49]
mircea_popescu but this brings us back to the question of whether mr s has ~intellectual authority~ << intellectual authority is a very simple thing in capitalism. see it at work in how the "blockchain size increase" was tranched : once someone says "this is how much it costs", the derps willing to talk were separated from the people willing to pay. [00:50]
mircea_popescu on a tinier scale, just happened above re tesla, too. [00:50]
decimation yeah, but what market? the 950/1000 block rule? [00:51]
mircea_popescu in the end, it reduces to "does he have the intellectual authority to bluff". well... do you have the intellectual authority to call it ? [00:51]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: unless i misunderstood, your implication in earlier thread was that satoshi (in the person of his key) could pop up, propose some arbitrary strange, and have such carry weight on account of him being the famous satoshi [00:51]
mircea_popescu decimation i mean the original, end of 2014/2015 dispute, about "herp derp we'll raise the block limit" [00:51]
decimation ah yes [00:51]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you misunderstood. [00:51]
mircea_popescu satoshi could pop up, propose some arbitrary strange, and have everyone (everyone that matters, ie, with money!) presented with the dilemma : do they buy up the stash ? or do they move on to the strange ? [00:52]
mircea_popescu this is the only legitimate way to resolve disputes. [00:52]
mircea_popescu if his strange sucks, he has nothing to stand on. [00:52]
mircea_popescu if his strange does not suck, you can keep talking about its strangeness all you want. [00:52]
asciilifeform but suppose that it is something quite like bitcoin circa '09. [00:53]
trinque it would be an incredible thing if the man has the keys and has shown this much restraint [00:53]
asciilifeform which did not suck (at least mathematically) in any particularly discernible way [00:53]
mircea_popescu trinque not that incredible. [00:53]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform all i can say is i'd consider it fully. [00:53]
mircea_popescu otherwise, not even the us supreme court rules without a case. [00:53]
asciilifeform 'does not suck' today, i dare say, is a higher bar than in '09, when there was no bitcoin [00:53]
mircea_popescu surely. [00:53]
asciilifeform and no $maxint pumped into the storage battery [00:53]
mircea_popescu on that point can there be no debate [00:53]
mircea_popescu but 5bn is NO SORT OF MAXINT [00:54]
mircea_popescu it's a minint in this game. [00:54]
asciilifeform ^ point [00:54]
decimation ^ yes, bitcoin is still peanuts [00:54]
asciilifeform esp. given as it is denominated in zimbabwean unit [00:54]
decimation which satoshi realizes, of course [00:54]
asciilifeform (i.e. there are probably not 5bn 'turkey-buying-capable' dollars on planet) [00:54]
mircea_popescu complicated matters. [00:55]
mircea_popescu anyway, i'm off. cheerios. [00:56]

This will cost new buyers $10,000, but current P85D owners can get the upgrade pack electronics for $5,000 plus installation labor, for the next six months." [23:03]
