EskimoBob: i still don't know how it happened
kuzetsa: copumpkin: I don't consider the notion of nefario = satoshi to be any less plausible than gavin being satoshi
EskimoBob: don't forget the porn :)
smickles: they don't have to mess with witholding your taxes and such

JWU_42: i can't recall the format to get bitcoind to show more than 10 transactions
mircea_popescu: Namjies i'm not an expert in design so i can't really cogently explain. it's a matter of style.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean the text, i mean the gfx
copumpkin: I didn't spend much money on that :P
smickles: and if we can't help but profit on this corp, we keep the money in the corp, and have it setup in ireland or somewhere good for taxes
smickles: well, your investment in the corp would lower your income, and the corp wouldn't pay taxes because only profit is taxed
smickles: I think you could also 'lend' a lot of money to your family, not charge interest, but be required to count a certain minimum amount of interest as income even tho you didn't charge it
copumpkin: but leave them to take care of them and don't pay childcare
smickles: heh, you didn't ask to make it better overall, you asked to get into the 15% bracket
copumpkin: but doesn't the nanny cost me money?
copumpkin: nah, I'm unmarried, don't own a house, don't have children
smickles: well, if you don't have an IRA, we can knock of 5000 right there
copumpkin: smickles: it's sort of joking around though, because I doubt it's possible to lower much, since I don't work for myself or have a company and can't really deduct most of my expenses
copumpkin: hmm, haven't actually calculated
copumpkin: I can't afford that
copumpkin: any more than that and it isn't worth it ;)
mircea_popescu: i don't think you get signing statements
mircea_popescu: as long as you're required to sign off on the tax one, it's the one. anyone doesn't like it can stand on his head.
mircea_popescu: i really don't follow how anyone'd be foolish enough to sign two different accounting reports.
smickles: 18:30 < mircea_popescu> copumpkin they may bitch, but you can't really get into trouble by sticking with the tax version<<< the thing is, sticking to the tax version doesn't accurately represent the status of the company
copumpkin: so if you're public, you can't just do what the taxes do
mircea_popescu: people in general don't do it because they'd like to present better numbers.
mircea_popescu: copumpkin they may bitch, but you can't really get into trouble by sticking with the tax version.
copumpkin: no, you do, because then you aren't meeting the US GAAP/IFRS standards
mircea_popescu: but as long as you do everything the tax way you don't have a problem.
copumpkin: and they don't all mesh with the tax method
copumpkin: so you file a deferred tax liability saying "um, the tax man thinks we lost way more money than we did this year and charged us less taxes, but we haven't lost it yet"
mircea_popescu: consequently i don't.
mircea_popescu: i don't like using any diff method than the tax method.
copumpkin: which means you paid less in taxes (Because they think you lost money to depreciation) today but your accounts don't show that depreciation because you used a different method on them
copumpkin: no, it isn't about not filing them
mircea_popescu: copumpkin well, only need to account for it if you hadn't filed the taxes for the prev years, but anyway! my q was strictly cause it went down
copumpkin: I haven't looked at the question since earlier
mircea_popescu: copumpkin didn't the tax rate go down ? 41 to 31 ?
copumpkin: you don't pay more tax than you would otherwise, but due to the discrepancy between your accounts and the tax reports, you need to adjust your accounts to factor in the increased rate
jcpham: maybe i didn't read the whole thread?
jurov: still i don't get why freelancer.com is #1 . simple task like moving a deadline requires emailing to support both for employer and worker, wtf?
smickles: jurov: before or after they didn't deliver on time?
smickles: s/haven't/hasn't/
smickles: copumpkin: my question is, how come everyone in these sorts of questions haven't been paying taxes for years
mircea_popescu: "sorry, can't deliver your gold on contract for gold we never actually had because of act of god...
mod6: its the ole "sorry, can't deliver your gold on contract because of act of god..." excuse ;P
mircea_popescu: you don't really call fm if you intend to enforce the contract at no cost to the op.
mircea_popescu: i guess you don't know what "may" means.
mircea_popescu: well it wasn't any big deal, just a write-up about some campaign trying to make animal fucking illegal again
mircea_popescu: when someone impedes someone else from solving a block theyweren't going to solve anyway.
mircea_popescu: hey, i don't judge.
mircea_popescu: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Kegel_exercises_diagram.png doesn't this look like the diagram of a pussy fart ?
gigavps: i haven't heard about kegels in a while
mircea_popescu: im really impressed with the "we won't spend 30 btc to get reg'd on mpex cause it's expensive"
pigeons: can't be a scam either, they have a verified facebook page!
pigeons: oh ok actually they give a reason (can't get grad school loan with that collection on report) https://btcjam.com/listings/646
pigeons: I only have ' and ` I don't have ’
mircea_popescu: i can't stnad localised kbds. never used anything but us101
mircea_popescu: don't i?
mircea_popescu: then they suddenly saw 1bn+ in capital and well... there just wasn't room to spend that much in their intended market
smickles: heh, i'm not sure either, but the longer tails feel better to me when i consider that LTCM got hit by a 'tail event' which may have been covered if their formula wasn't gaussian
smickles: but i don't have the time to work on that math
mircea_popescu: just like on the strength of their revenue generating abilities, miner bonds shouldn't really have seen investment over the 100 btc mark for the entire slate.
smickles: Also, if you still see it hard to see, why don't we use the very next two sentences in the Grinberg text: "Bitcoin supporters may similarly argue, as elaborated below, that bitcoins do not look like securities or investments, especially because there is no money- making enterprise that is attempting to raise money, and that bitcoins are instead like commodities or currencies, which are generally not regulated under the federal securities laws. Fu
smickles: You don't see the connection between a Libertarian who advocated free experiment in methods of transmitting value and Bitcoin?
dub: I don't follow
smickles: lol, that sudoghost guy didn't see the connection between a e-currency modeled on the idea of Libertarian economist and Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: at least he doesn't seem to be targetting you particularly.
mircea_popescu: because btc doesn't work for retail, that'd be why.
mircea_popescu: Stopped by Meze Grill today. It was one of my must-visit places during my trip to NY. The food was DELICIOUS! But, I was informed that they don't take Bitcoin any more. "It didn't work out" Anyone have any idea why?
mircea_popescu: i don't think he understands much of what's going on around him.
jurov: i can't stop giggling over that accusation

smickles: it couldn't hurt, I could get to it sometime soon :)
knotwork: no no i merely meant if t-bills are risk-free then obviously its a loose term of art to being with
knotwork: well considering t-bills are passed off as risk-free ...
smickles: I suggest yo ujust assume there isn't one
knotwork: a significant amount of secure debt was sniped today while everyone was already worried about skyrockets, massive players in the secured debt arena finally realised all their debtors would be sniped if they didn't cut their rates across the board, and everything wobbled
thestringpuller: knotwork: didn't that just happen in october?
knotwork: Software to handle puts and calls on arbitrary pairs of assets is badly needed. That is really coming home to people today as they ran around negotiating large puts and calls to try to prevent a tipping point that could trigger panic selling if they don't get enough, and the right, puts and calls worked out and in place
smickles: Ukto: accounting isn't just what cpas do
thestringpuller: Why don't you do it kingpin style and hire a CPA with an "offer they can't refuse"?

jcpham: but the internet isn't real

jcpham: thankfully we haven't crossed swords yet
jcpham: -otc is a joke and can't be trusted
mircea_popescu: i was here throughout. you can't say ALL.
mircea_popescu: re icbit : i wouldn't buy up to anything on full leverage.
mircea_popescu: aren't these things supposed to be 6 minutes apart.
