Michael : Hi Vlad !

Putin : Get down in the bunker and aim the nukes !

Michael : But I am a well-respected member of a co-operative, collaborative international community

that is very deeply involved in something that I am very passionate about... science...

Putin : Did you think we kept your intellect intact so you could play with CGoL ?

Michael : But the new gun design...

Putin : No choice pal !

Michael : My bad !

Einstein : Hi Guys !

Manhattan Project : Make the Bomb !

Einstein : No ! I don't want to !

Manhattan Project : No choice pal !

Einstein : My Bad !

USA : There was no World War Two.

Just ask our Friends, the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians...

Russia : Michael Simkin does not believe you.

USA : Russia and China do not want to be friends.

Not even with each other. Just watch...

China : China is the World's BEST Friend !

USA : India is our friend.

Australia : We need some friends !

Taiwan : ???

Ukraine : WTF !

Otis Arron Schmakel : Germany had delivery. The V2 rocket/missile.

If they would have focused on the Bomb FIRST, and delivered

conventionally, like we did ( by airplane ), SHOCK and AWE

would have worked for THEM, and I would be thinking in

German right now, instead of Spanish...

I want to learn Chinese, but I have to learn Spanish FIRST...

They taught me French in school, eight years, so I know

I can think in French. So I have been thinking about

Quebec specifically and Canada in general...

Not that France is a lost cause, but they have so many

Nuclear Power Plants over there - at least they KNOW

what their RAD COUNT is; over here, you won't know

until your hair starts falling out...

There is not even ONE RAD COUNTER in the ENTIRE

State of Nebraska; since my hair already knows

what I am thinking, I am going to

shave it off and wear

a wig...

Michael Simkin : ???

( last post 22 Octobre 2021 )

otismo : apologies if sounds political.

I try to not let things bother me. But they do...

EDIT :

Einstein actually did not want Hitler to get the Bomb first, and wrote his famous letter to Saint Rooseveldt...

Looks Like the End of NFTs

Post by otismo » April 18th, 2022, 8:24 pm

The NFT bubble is beginning to burst, says the man who was one of the few to see the 2007-2008 financial crisis coming in a book some consider one of the most influential since World War II.

"The NFT thingy is starting to burst," Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the 2010 New York Times best seller The Black Swan, tweeted Saturday. "All you need is higher interest rates for things that make no sense to start making no sense."

https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1515343870787309579

Taleb cited the recent story of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, whose first tweet sold as an NFT last year for nearly $3 million. It's now only worth thousands, according to a CNBC article published this week.

The tweet's buyer, crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi, announced last Wednesday that he would be selling the NFT on OpeanSea and would donate half the proceeds to charity, CNBC reported. As of Saturday the highest bid was just over $18,000.

Taleb’s theory about black swans is all about the emergence of ultra-rare events for which the market is unprepared. In 2007, it was falling home prices, and in the 2020s it’s the end of low rates and easy money. The swans may not always be white, in other words.

A whopping $44 billion was spent on NFTs last year, Fortune previously reported.

The Black Swan was named in 2009 as one of the 12 most influential books since World War II by British newspaper The Times.

This story was originally featured on Fortune.com

NFTs might have helped our friends escape the russia of vladimir putin.

Too late for that now - too late for a lot of things - I have never owned crypto but back in 2009 I was stuck with a lot of expensive

high-powered computer equipment ( because google bought youtube instead of my newpix ) so I was getting set up to do mining

and I remember they gave you 10 BTC for getting a wallet and getting set up to do mining ( which I never did ). BTC at that time

was worth one-fifth of a cent - and I was not going to worry about two cents worth of BTC. If it is honest money I do not have to

worry about it; if it is not, then I do not want it anyway. Sometimes you have to let go and walk away from the Empires you have

created; the entire Great Depression was all about breaking one man : Sam Insull who walked away from his

Empire worth Trillions at the Bottom of the Depression in the early 1930s; he controlled the

U. S. Electric Power Grid

and so thereby passed his Character Test with Flying Colors...

( also the wresting control of Westinghouse Electric from Mr. Westinghouse; Ford Motors remained private and in control of

Henry Ford through his lifetime and the Ford family after his death - but even Ford eventually went public... )

To-Day, Elon Musk has a character test coming up; I expect he will, likewise, pass it with flying colors also...

The Book is called Accidental Empires by Robert X. Cringely, and here is our Realm to-day some 50 years later :

Somebody cue the stock market’s park ranger: Bears are having a picnic on Wall Street this year.

The meltdown of 2022 has wiped out more than $7 trillion in market value from the blue chip stocks in the S&P 500. The index is down nearly 18% since the end of December. The S&P 500 is now barely above bear market levels (i.e. a 20% decline from a recent closing high) following a 0.1% drop Thursday.

AND THAT IS ONLY THE "TIP OF THE ICEBERG" - the Bond Market has lost way more value since the Forty Year Bull Market ended.

Noteworthy : Total Market Capitalisation ( TMC ) decreased by about $5 trillion, from just over $88T to just over $83T.

I personally observed the TMC drop UNDER $80T around the most recent Bear Market LOW.

ALSO there are now over 400 more Corporations in Our Realm !

Disturbing : Last Friday's options expiration saw Two Trillion Dollars Worth of options expire.

Now we discuss also the subject of Unicorns ( referenced below ) as Social Clubs dealing directly with Job Creation.

The Perma Uber Caps are AAPL computer hardware, MSFT computer software,

GOOG social search, AMZN online retail, TSLA EV leader, BRK-B conglomerate,

META social personal, UNH healthcare, V financial, JNJ drug, NVDA semiconductor,

and finally, XOM oil. NFLX Netflix note-ably OUT ( Bear Mkt Casualty ); NVDA joins

TSMC because America will re-patriate our semiconductor industry; XOM and others of

its ilk will gravitate upwards as the inevitable oil price skyrocket continues ever higher...

Did we lose Michael Simkin (simsim314) over the NFT kerfuffle? I'd hate to think so, but it looks like it. He is last active as of October 29, 2021. I assume his exile is self-imposed, and I'd like to see him come back.

When Homer Simpson was asked, “How are we going to get out of this hole?,” he replied, “We’ll dig our way out!” Many people who find themselves in holes they can’t climb out of think that the solution is to dig harder, which makes the hole even deeper and more difficult to escape.

Which brings us to Carvana CVNA, +4.05%, the online used-car retailer with a cool name. For many car buyers, including ourselves, the worst part of the experience is the hours spent haggling with relentless salespeople. The income that car salespeople earn comes out of the pockets of the buyers and the dealership, so there is money to be made by both if the salespeople are taken out of the equation — not to mention the many hours buyers squander haggling.

You still can’t buy a new car without going through a franchised dealership but there are reputable companies that sell used cars without negotiations. The nation’s largest negotiation-free dealer is CarMax KMX, +5.37%, which has 225 locations and sold more than 750,000 vehicles last year.

Carvana was launched in 2012 and went public in 2017 with the slogan “Skip the Dealership.” Carvana buys cars at auctions and from dealers, trade-ins and private sellers. In contrast to CarMax, where buyers and sellers have to show up in person, Carvana customers can do everything online through a simple, attractive website in just a few minutes and then choose to have the car delivered to their home or pick it up at one of Carvana’s 33 car vending machines — which are pretty much what they sound like. The buyer goes to a glitzy glass tower filled with shiny cars, inserts an authorization token, and watches the lifts and conveyors bring the car down to the delivery bay, ready to be driven home. Buyers haven’t had an opportunity to kick the tires or take their cars for test drives before the pick up, but they can return their cars no-questions-asked within seven days.

It is all very cool and the buzz and glitz pushed Carvana’s stock price to $370.10 in August 2021 from $11.10 in 2017 — helped in part by the COVID-19 restrictions on in-person car dealerships. Alas, buzz and glitz are expensive, as is maintaining a fleet of used cars. The company’s car vending machines look terrific on social media, but are a lot more expensive than a parking lot with a handful of attendants.

Carvana has been bleeding cash, borrowing money to keep going. After its latest financing attempt flopped, Apollo Global Management came to the money pit and gave Carvana a very big shovel. Carvana will issue $3.3 billion in bonds and preferred stock (with Apollo buying $1.6 billion of that), at a 10.25% interest rate and prepayment barred for five years.

One measure of Carvana’s desperation is that while it is borrowing money at 10.25%, it will be loaning money to car buyers at a competitive 3.9% interest rate. Borrowing at 10.25% to lend at 3.9% is a financial disaster that no sensible company would do if there were any good alternatives. Moody’s has cut Caravana’s debt rating to triple-C and Carvana’s stock price has slumped from its $370.10 peak to $59.56 at Wednesday’s close.

Other loss-making startups are in similar deep holes and reaching for shovels. Losses must be financed, and most unicorns have much bigger losses than does Carvana, both current and cumulative. Carvana’s cumulative losses are now $900 million, a big number, but relatively small compared to many other startups. Looking at losses through December 2021, 46 of the 140 U.S. unicorn startups that are currently being publicly traded have more cumulative losses than Caravana, despite having much lower revenues.

The largest cumulative losses are for Uber Technologies UBER, -4.65% ($23.6 billion), WeWork WE, -1.26% ($14.1 billion), Snap SNAP, +4.25% ($8.4 billion), Lyft LYFT, -29.91% ($8.3 billion), Teledoc Health ($8.1 billion), Airbnb ABNB, +7.71% ($6.3 billion), and Palantir Technologies PLTR, +4.08% ($5.5 billion) followed by four others — Nutanix NTNX, +3.54%, Rivian Automotive RIVN, +6.03%, Robinhood Markets HOOD, +7.92% and Bloom Energy BE, +7.12% — with losses of more than $3 billion. Another 16 have losses greater than $2 billion, 39 have greater than $1 billion, and 77 have greater than $500 million.

Carvana’s $900 million cumulative losses are far less than its 2021 revenues of $12.2 billion, while 79 of the 140 publicly traded unicorns have cumulative losses that are larger than their 2021 revenues, meaning it will be even harder for them to cover their losses than it will be for Carvana. Excluding the startups with no or very small revenues (seven startups), many publicly traded unicorns have cumulative losses that are far larger than their 2020 revenue.

Only 19 of these 140 publicly traded unicorns were profitable in 2021, up from 17 in 2020 and 12 in 2019. An improvement, but not much of one. At this rate it will take decades for most unicorns to become profitable — and investors won’t wait decades.

Private firms’ public problem
Below the surface is even a bigger problem: privately held unicorns. There are now 1,091 private unicorns worldwide, of which about half are in the U.S. Because the most profitable startups tend to go public first, it is likely that the privately held unicorns are in even worse shape than the publicly traded ones.

Bigger shovels make the task even harder. With interest rates rising, many unicorns will have to pay even more than 10.25% to stay alive. What will happen to privately held startups as interest rates rise? Will venture capitalists continue covering losses? Softbank has already announced it will stop funding some of its startups. Rising interest rates and falling stock prices are likely to persuade other funders to do the same — to stop passing out shovels and to leave some startups in their self-dug graves.

We'll have to see if it makes guns.

It can make bulldozer:

on closer inspection, BullDozer appears to use a reaction that is one cell WIDER than the KingBee I posted -

the BD is 10-wide, and my KB is 9-wide...

both fire clouds seem to be examples of Pi Injection :

I really do like the BullDozer SpaceShip, and I would never had known it existed without your Posting -

Can we have a Glider Synthesis of Generation One ( or of ANY generation ) please ?

@ dvgrn

FIRST :

Why do we lose our "Pulse" after the last 'WSS interacts with the Blinker -

and becomes a "Continuous Trail" instead ?

SECOND :

Is there a Fourth 'WSS reaction - LWSS to MWSS, etc. ?

Thank You !

Cheers !

Optics

Post by otismo » October 31st, 2022, 12:46 pm

Protecting one's Optic Nerve can be a health concern of Citizens who desire to enjoy their Gift of Sight.

Especially CGoL Enthusiasts and Programmers ( who earn a living ) and anyone who would like to :

1) use a cell phone

2) use a computer

3) watch TV

4) go see a movie

5) read a book

6) and so on...

The List of Most Egregious Offenders includes :

1) Satellite Outfits
most annoying, where one can have a whole community or congregation or an entire region riding their O.N.

2) Mega Churches
and any venue that has a guy in a control booth aiming a canned "Light Cannon" directly into your eyes

JUST FOR STARTERS

The List of Remedies :

1) Atrium Housing
no outer windows, cistern in center of courtyard opening to surrounding living areas

2) Modern State-of-the-Art Buildings
C.C.A.-style hermetically sealed, baffled HVAC etc.

3) Sub sub sub basement, diving bell, aqualung etc.
making sure to have an air cylinder for air supply and other precautions

3) Double-Polarized Eye Protection
plastic strip under sun glasses, welding helmet etc.

4) Alternate Spectra Reverse-Flushing
heat lamps especially at bus and train stops as well as in casino smoking tents in cold northern latitudes;
cherry-red electric stove and heat lamps in your home

5) Baffling/Filtering Apparatus
to be continued...

I for one plan to enjoy my hobbies for as long as I remain alive ( AND I do not believe there is such a thing as death... )

and besides everyone should know by now that the stocks I buy do not ALWAYS go up...

https://youtu.be/TVmafNyouRQ a song that I am becoming addicted to ( be careful )

and some movies so we do not forget, while they are still on youtube :
