(trilema) ben_vulpes: that part's supposed to be entertaining
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this week i'm actually preferring to hire "jr" people with broad programming experience (and varied backgrounds) for pressing into the ipnohe and andorp squads, theory being that broad experience with other humans and technologies trumps cheap labor and misguided enthusiasm
(trilema) ben_vulpes: evening, gents.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: adlai: out of curiosity what's the difference between 'plastic' and plastic?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: then followed a long explanation of the horseshit dow is putting into screw-top wine bottles and synthetic corks

(trilema) ben_vulpes: welcome, mircea_popescu, to the new new new new web
(trilema) ben_vulpes: everyone already has chrome, there is no "download".
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ofc this buys also the risk of google ripping the sheets out from under one.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: you can make the consumers "come to expect" anything, unless mgmt insists pigheadedly on cross-browser support chasing "lift" or "conversion" or some such, chrome should be adequate.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and think what you will, constraining the operating environment to just chrome is a pretty sensible cost-reducing move.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that has nothing to do with depreciation schedule.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: also "software" should be depreciated on a goddamn 2 year schedule it rots so quickly. especially these single-page angular things; they're exceptionally more expensive to maintain as time goes on.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: shareholder equity implies a previous investment round as well.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: board can authorize divs of whatever size they want to?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: too late, whiterock, mircea_popescu beat you to it.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: see davout and x.eur
(trilema) ben_vulpes: monthly is an adequate frequency for inspecting operators commitment to the project.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ofc but for logreaders.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: not that i'm even going to look at the blockchain on the latter, but they should at least show up on the balance sheet, even if they are going directly into naphex' pocket
(trilema) ben_vulpes: - tax payments
(trilema) ben_vulpes: - description of expenditures
(trilema) ben_vulpes: - monthly reports
