Companies that dont make money are a drain on gdp. They dont add to the pie. They are a zero sum game
@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @protecttruth @plutus
Like UBER ?😉
@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth
Yes, however. I make money. My service is useful. Uber doesnt. It needs to figure shit out
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12 @protecttruth
But they still serve a purpose if they are employing many- as long as they keep it close to breakeven.
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth
I think uber isnt a drain because all the small businesses that use it (uber drivers) are very profitable@ so if you add up all tbose profits and subtract Uber's losses you get a very profitable ecosystem.
@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance
If I was an employee of uber. Uber would be getting those profits and I would be paid 18 dollars an hour plus tips instead of 40 dollars an hour
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @rubecube12
So you agree, it’s not REALLY a zero sum game ?
Still beautiful-by the way-
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach @protecttruth
Its a zero sum game, but you weren't counting its components. It has to raise prices on drivers to break even. Meaning my profits are inflated by its losses. So it is a zero sum game.
@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @plutus
if it made money it would be growing the pie. Profitability = society's recognition of usefulness. Unprofitable businesses are not useful they dont make profit. They are not of service and there is no benefit derrived
@ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @plutus @rubecube12
Except you spend the money somewhere else- so indirectly you are growing the pie via Uber- if Uber ceases to exist you will then be shrinking the pie.

So, to test Elon I created another Twitter account and I already got it suspended!! Wtf - free speech my ass! #nazi
@protecttruth @plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
What did you say?
@protecttruth @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus
To get out or to get suspended ?
@rubecube12 @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance
I think this got me suspended
@rubecube12 @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance
And then I took a Turing test to get unsuspended

@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @rubecube12 Am I doing something wrong here? The main NVMe drive, two other Sata SSDs (one about 4 yrs old, the other about 1), mounted fine internally.
Two Samsung T7s mounted via fast USB in the rear.
All fine. But I want to use CrystalDiskInfo to analyze a 10 yr old SSD. Sata to USB adapter cable. System doesn't see it. I think the disk is still good, but yeah, old.
@protecttruth @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus
USB-c on the adapter ?
@ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus
Some adapter will need 3.0 Port or two USB ports in order to reach the required voltage. I’m assuming that would be a 3.0 port but not necessarily if it’s in an obscure spot, should be able to tell in control panel.
@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus Same adapter, same port, read newer disks fine.
Could be the disk has finally died?
Don’t you have a sata cable in the box you can connect it to just check ? If you know it’s good you can transfer the porn off that one later 😉
Not sure about the “blue” but generally the ones in the front are the better one.
@johnserwach My faster ones are in the back.
a pair of 3.2 gen 1 type-A
one 3.2 gen 2x2 C-type

Can u remove a diffeeent drive and insert this one?
@johnserwach OTOH, I look pretty cute lying on the floor holding this big torch between my chin and my tities, working on this thing. 😂
Small hands are definitely a plus for this kind of stuff.
In that case, By all means, carry on😉
That’s not a good sign !
@johnserwach I crawled down to the back of the box after I disconnected one of my T7s, and tried the drive there on a known-fast port. Same old.
So now we're down to adapter failure, or dead drive. I'll have to crack the case when I'm in the mood, to find out. But it's not a usb power problem for sure.
Yeah that seems likely. I suppose it could’ve just gotten jostled enough over the years.
I believe 3.0 supplies more power.
@rubecube12 @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance could be but usually they just randomly erase stuff on the drive first.
Some of the older drives need more power than the newer ones.

Modi wants to be trump junior. Personally, I can’t wait until he gets to big for his britches and learns what it’s like to feel the wrath of the United States. #MicDrop

@johnserwach @plutus @rubecube12 @protecttruth It's a very unequal society, for sure. The people at the top live pretty comfortably, in high rises where the views look similar to most 1st-world countries.
Assuming your gaze doesn't stray too far, that is.
@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @protecttruth
I gotta stop debating with these fintwit millennials (like Willy/Matt/Sean) in these never-ending circles. Markets of any kind just goes through these cyclical periods with each new period having slightly different characteristics but broadly speaking the end result is the same. Only experience and "being there or listening to others who have" do you have perspective. The arrogance is palpable even when proven wrong.
@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @protecttruth
Every generation whether it's stimpyz, schiff, Bill OConnor or the new crop, the only purpose they engage in these discussions is wanting others to perceive they are smart - not to make money and least of all to really learn shit from others.
Petty-coat junction
@plutus @rubecube12 @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance
Exactly- that’s why they’re asking questions they “perceive” they already have the answer to. To “show off” - they want a Pat on the head, a gold star on the forehead. They don’t want to acknowledge when they’re wrong or even the “possibility” they could be wrong!
@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @plutus
They bombed Syria a few years back and nothing happened. Netenyahu wants war. He's a war monger. The Israelis will get what they deserve
