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] |

mircea_popescu | 1923 Detroit Electric. | [00:20] |
asciilifeform | late in the game, too | [00:21] |
asciilifeform | height of electromobile was 1890s | [00:21] |
mircea_popescu | (exactly the hipster car of today, incdentally. marketed to women and doctors, had curved glass panes, etc) | [00:21] |
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 | lol branson, another fine example. | [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] |

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 | [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] |
