HeySteve: hey fluffypony, do you know what sort of customs duty SA would charge on electronics imports?
fluffypony: HeySteve: it depends on what electronics...typically for PC components it's just 14% VAT and a release fee (R15 - R30)
fluffypony: because PC components are classified by customs as "spare parts"
HeySteve: I found a nice camera on coinsfortech selling for btc, works out about R7000 cheaper than on kalahari including shipping
HeySteve: ok so just the VAT thanks
fluffypony: CoinsForTech ship with FedEx (SupaSwift is the local agent)
fluffypony: so you'll also have to pay their admin/documentation charges
HeySteve: are those expensive?
fluffypony: yeah, and a camera isn't electronics components, different tarriff heading
fluffypony: not sure what tariff heading they'll list it under
fluffypony: but it looks like they'll charge VAT
fluffypony: processing fee of R142.83, disbursement fee of R26.51, release fee of R2, all plus VAT
HeySteve: right. still about R4k cheaper, it's just the wait time
fluffypony: FedEx is fast - 5-10 actual days tops

CheckDavid: How does it work here now mircea_popescu ?
CheckDavid: Why not on the topic?
mircea_popescu: possibly because we prefer people ask
mircea_popescu: otherwise because it was never considered

CheckDavid: So I don't know much ways on how to do that with begging

fluffypony: there ya go :)
CheckDavid: Such a hassle to authenticate with gribble on a mobile device
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid if you're doing business, then you're definitely doing business with someone here at some point, or with someone they know.
mircea_popescu: a 1 isn't so hard to get historically.
CheckDavid: I see. I will get it
mircea_popescu: i suspect the reason why good crypto is a hassle on smartphones is exactly what one'd expect.
CheckDavid: How do you map a reason to an expectation?
CheckDavid: Your English is too advanced for me
mircea_popescu: ie, that it's not accidental, but deliberate, as part of a broader govt sponsored industry agreement to keep mobiles weak cryptographically

mircea_popescu: check this shit out
mircea_popescu: that's the best looking fucking axe i've ever seen
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: bunch of coolness in there
CheckDavid: I was sent a proposal to represent a business in acquiring projects for them on a commission based rewards schedule.
CheckDavid: It's startup in the it industry
davout: mircea_popescu: i recall visiting some old farm, and being shown tools that looked rudimentary, but were in fact perfectly balances as to minimize the strain on the farmer
CheckDavid: But confused me is how the commissions are based on the profit, and not on the sales volume or revenue
davout: s/balances/balanced/
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid hm ?
mircea_popescu: davout indeed.
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: the proposed commissions on the draft are based on profit
CheckDavid: Like. X% of the profit generated from my sale
CheckDavid: I have never seen this
punkman: that axe looks like it might be awkward when chopping horizontally
chetty: sounds like a bad deal CheckDavid , company can just spend whatever of ads and exec salaries and you get squat
CheckDavid: I know chetty . that's why I found it weird
CheckDavid: Dissimulating profits is a pretty straightforward process
fluffypony: CheckDavid: based on gross profit or net profit?
CheckDavid: It just says profit in the draft
mircea_popescu: punkman definitely. seems vertical.
CheckDavid: But it's just a draft
fluffypony: I mean, I can understand if there's a fixed CoS and they're calling (CoS - Sales) "profit"
mircea_popescu: CheckDavid i dunno what this is about ?!
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: just a contract for sales rep that sets commissions to be based on profit instead of sales volume
CheckDavid: I was just wondering if this is normal
CheckDavid: Because I have never seen this kind of arrangement before
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9650 @ 0.00095239 = 9.1906 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: well... profit and sales volume correlate
mircea_popescu: so i guess it's just an arbitrary different comission %
mircea_popescu: item sells for 10k, profit is 1k, make 1% of net sales or 10% of net profit, same deal, you make 100 bux per item
mircea_popescu: !up CheckDavid
assbot: Voicing CheckDavid for 30 minutes.
fluffypony: CheckDavid: there is actually some precedent - I have a very good friend who moved here from Sweden to sell industrial cleaning equipment/supplies. he knows the cost of the product, and dependent on the size of the sale he can offer a discount to the client. his comm is based on the "profit" in that it's (sales - cost of sales), so he won't offer a discount on small sales but might determine it worthwhile reducing his comm on a larger sale
mircea_popescu: yeah it's kinda how large deals work. industrial equipment is a perfect example.
mircea_popescu: rarely used in consumer/retail
mircea_popescu: anywya, if you're working for a start-up you want either equity or a salary.
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: yes. But it's for IT contracts. All contracts are different and have different details
mircea_popescu: in NO case do you work for a startup on a comission basis wtf is this, the land of where they get shit for free ?
CheckDavid: I see fluffypony . actually make sense
CheckDavid: mircea_popescu: really? I don't see why not
CheckDavid: It's sales after all
mircea_popescu: it's building their equity. either they pay for it or you get a share of it.
CheckDavid: I see.
CheckDavid: Well.
CheckDavid: The contacts I generate are supposed to generate life time commissions
mircea_popescu: so this is why you get equity
mircea_popescu: so that they DO generate lifetime comissions.
CheckDavid: Interesting point
mircea_popescu: people either mean what they say or they lie to you.
mircea_popescu: always very easy to find out which. just, need a little experience in business.
fluffypony: otherwise after a year or two the company can "fold" and reopen to service all the old clients, cutting you out the loop
mircea_popescu: "can". heh.
CheckDavid: I see.
CheckDavid: Though I was thinking about starting collaboration in a more informal manner.
mircea_popescu: informal only works if you're either part of the core or part of a group that can squish them.
fluffypony: there was a rental agency that had this awesome comm structure - find a tenant and you get half of their management fee for the lifetime of the tenant (they charge ~10% of the rent as a management fee)
mircea_popescu: that's why founderds deals work informally, and VCs deals not so much.
CheckDavid: I see.
CheckDavid: I am sure that works for you.
CheckDavid: But maybe I'm not in your position
CheckDavid: A position of experience and financial success
fluffypony: they exploded, dominated the scene as everyone referred their friends and all the home owners wanted tenants through them
fluffypony: fast forward 2 years and they "go bankrupt" and this new crowd that registered a business like a month ago "buys" all their existing contracts and databases and everything for $100 or something stupid
CheckDavid: For lack of better words
mircea_popescu: fluffypony happens all the damned time. i know like... two lawyers that ever successfully litigated the sort of shit
mircea_popescu: one of them's smoking hot too.
fluffypony: someone eventually connects that the new company is owned by the other guy's brother-in-law...cue shitstorm of epic proportions, but they got away with it because laws.

CheckDavid: The score? Isnt that only known in the end of the game?
CheckDavid: I thought you were still telling me the rules of the game.
CheckDavid: Haha. My total lack of knowledge of these expressions.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yeah, but I think the legal framework in the EU in general is more mature...ZA law is Dutch-Roman with some British influence, but there's lots of stuff that has only come about more recently (eg. modern regulation of securities only happened with the Securities Services Act of 2004)

mircea_popescu: ok i got a business proposition for you
ThickAsThieves: did you know that Amiga pixels were rectangles, not squares
mircea_popescu: it goes like this : the s.mpif is going to be reporting its assets monthly. meanwhile it will probably trade. there should be a mechanism to buy/sell shares to ensure the market stays liquid and more or less alligned to net value. so what i want to do is :
mircea_popescu: ima make you a s.mpif manager, give you 50 BTC , your job is to try and make a profit trading s.mpif of mpex.
mircea_popescu: you get a 10% cut of the results, report your trades monthly.
mircea_popescu: this is also good because it gives some anchor to the fund

A MasterCard representative confirmed that it has no relationship with Xapo."

mircea_popescu: let me interject something related i was just happening to read. a bit of a paste :
mircea_popescu: This stickiness of the Semitic languages supports a speculation: by the 7th Century there had to be many pockets in the Western Mediterranean of Punic-Canaanite speakers, about a thousand years after the fall of Carthage. Falling under Roman rule did not turn the population into Latin speakers (only for scholarly purposes, say Saint Augustine of Hyppo; we have much evidence of diglossia in the Levant, of the use of a l
mircea_popescu: anguage at home and for oral communication that is different from the language of writing, and doing so for 1000 years). And there had to be plenty of Semitic language speakers; just follow placenames from Carthage to Ramatuelle in France near Saint Tropez (ramat el means hill of God in both Canaanite and Hebrew). Even Marseilles seems to come from Marsa, port in Canaanite (and not from Massilia the Roman name since th
mircea_popescu: e Romans did not make names, but transcribed them). I estimate that the third of the coastal villages spoke Semitic dialects. The modus of the Phoenicians was network, hence a system of trade links built on trust (you send merchandise to a relative who pays you back; you needed a certain amount of trust before the letter of credit). The region is large: it extends all the way to Mogador on the Atlantic coast.

BingoBoingo: Everything is legal so long as you wait until the contest is over to flaunt it

ThickAsThieves: "Totally agree that it should be legal. In the mean time, Pineda really just needs to get better at this. I mean, he should realize that he is being watched after the last incident, there has to be a better place to put pine tar than on your neck. Just learn to cheat better."
ThickAsThieves: everyone talking about how he should have cheated
ThickAsThieves: not whether
BingoBoingo: I mean the writer cam to the wrong conclusion. It should still stay "banned" but discretion is the first step towards sophistication.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, ThickAsThieves, other players of baseball - is the tar considered a cheat because it gives actual advantage? or merely not part of the regulation game?

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's use is necessary to master the craft, but exposing it is a faux pas.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Different from steroids in that the results are more quantifiable.

ThickAsThieves: the answer is probly in the middle
ThickAsThieves: baseball is very traditional though
BingoBoingo: Steroids do little in baseball beyond decreasing the time to recover from injury and maybe adding a bit of power. Doctoring a ball though is nearly essential for a pitcher to excel.
BingoBoingo: Basically there are reasons it is mostly aging hitters taking steroids, but every pitcher is doctoring the ball.
ThickAsThieves: has anyone done useful research about pitching with tar?
BingoBoingo: (This sidesteps the part where all of the good batters have ADHD diagnoses because amphetamines are the best performance enhancer for a batter)
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: Not for your budget.
ThickAsThieves: my budget?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what kind of diagnoses do, e.g. marathon runners get? anemia?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Yes. Marathoners get anemia. Hockey players get various autoimmune diagnoses.
BingoBoingo: To justify constant anti-inflammatory drugs

BingoBoingo: That probably would be ADHD again.
BingoBoingo: And is the reason many high level players don't want to see olympic chess.

BingoBoingo: That too.
mircea_popescu: the se;f confidence thing sounds just like greenspun's problem

asciilifeform: leaded coffee!
ThickAsThieves: lol forumite says to me "What would it possibly take for you to remove the negative trust you left me?"
BingoBoingo: It was rumored that in baseball clubhouses leaded vs. unleaded was how they refered to amphetamine spiked coffee
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what does tar do ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It affects grip and the aerodynamics of the ball.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And this is baseball so there are nearly as many balls spent in the game as outs.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: amphetamine isn't magic. see:

asciilifeform: i can hardly think of pine tar without tasting in my head that crap the greeks drink.
BingoBoingo: Well, it is not an incredibly simple mapping.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo but the one thing that makes the plane "more responsive" is spiking the pilot.
BingoBoingo: Of course. It is better though if both the pilot and plane are spiked.
asciilifeform: one can easily think of the design boundaries here (spiked fellow in ww1 sopwith, vs 'clean' one in modern jet)
asciilifeform: basic boojum here is, however, 'first ecstacy, then laundry'
BingoBoingo: Pine tar is spiking the plane (The F-16, a wily old pitcher) amphetamine is spiking the pilot (B-2 crews, Barry Bonds)
asciilifeform: as described by steve harris
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Your link on nootropics reminds me of why the alcohol/caffine combination is my prefered and only regular combination from that toolset.
mircea_popescu: "If you /are/ the majority and I am in the minority, how could you possibly believe that I have not already and many years ago figured out exactly how you guys work? If you had the brain to do it, this would be a grave insult, but you do not think ahead. You do in fact not think at all, because the things you say can only be uttered by a mind closed shut long ago."
BingoBoingo: The only big error with the link is that nicotine is not *cholinergic* at all
BingoBoingo: Nicotine is nicotinic
BingoBoingo: Works on its own subset of the acetycholine responsive system while ignoring others.
asciilifeform: ;;google nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
