mircea_popescu: how the fuck are you going to introduce payment for, eg, deeds ? and if you do, how is it going to beat $pay deed.
mircea_popescu: and don't fucking start with the dc current scandal all over again!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, i mean so that trinque gets experience with castles, sure.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman maybe by the time that's on the plate, we actually change in-game chat to gossipd.
mircea_popescu: someone pretending to do dev work and not being in wot is ipso facto saying "i am a fraudster trying to sell my shit as software".
mircea_popescu: for one thing, those people are schmucks. but even if they weren't schmucks, not in wot.
mircea_popescu: go through the logs, the thing is specced in the prev discussion with trinque.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman well in game-stuff i ideally want to change the chat to irc, but hey.
mircea_popescu: im currently trying to get an eulora player to implement proper auctions and reporting, but it's slow going.
mircea_popescu: just as long as it's not "o noes, recall 2016 golden age" we're golden.
mircea_popescu: but yeah, any indignation at how retarded people are is readily tempered by memory of how fucking insane btcland was five years ago.
mircea_popescu: but the way mpoe happened was that basically i threw up the idea in chan and a bunch of the people then-active commented and so on.
mircea_popescu: i don't rightly recall what it was, and i'm not even sure i was yet keeping irc logs at the very early time all this happened.
mircea_popescu: anyway, guy got in faq because iirc he found some typo or something.
mircea_popescu: reappearances of this kind always suspicious to me, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: davout yeah, was a guy active in 2011/2012 that then disappeared.
mircea_popescu: tbh, about as exciting as s.mg auctions lol. they always make my sunday.
mircea_popescu: for most of the land barely even had a census mechanism.
mircea_popescu: i dunno. who in 1900 had a large bureaucracy ? the chinese, and they got raped.
mircea_popescu: gotta appreciate - the us started exactly as a sort of tmsr of rich smugglers in an england province. conceptually it still sees broadly as this "gentleman's agreement" things etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform both colors can be applied, mine's friendlier.
mircea_popescu: ("you'd have to do it in parallel anyway!" "well if you're doing it anyway, wouldn't it be ~rational~ they don';t do it at all and save the cost ?" << that's the logic.)
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron but if they just asked how would you know it's correct!
mircea_popescu: course, i suppose a wife could be found for the govt to cut the deal with.
mircea_popescu: of course unlike that guy you don't have either millions in assets nor a wife more than happy to get it all in exchange for paying tax on it
mircea_popescu: ironically i linked a piece about some other famous tax quarrel guy, who said the same thing (from jail)
mircea_popescu: so i'm guessing danielpbarron is getting voted most likely to succeed jail ?
mircea_popescu: we can agree on this once you give your sorting criteria
mircea_popescu: fact remains the3 biological machine will spend the same time doing the same things
mircea_popescu: besides the point what non-poor, non-rat poeople invent
mircea_popescu: cue the canuck "renegotiable 5yr rate on 30 yr mortgages", i nearly fell over when i had that confirmed.
mircea_popescu: actual young man goes into unrepayable debt, spends altogether maybe a year or so on the thing ?
mircea_popescu: mmmno. you're thinking of a young man that doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: nfi. bout the same fraction of its life as it takes young male to get his first time house ?
mircea_popescu: i'll have to have that rat thing demonstrated, doesn't seem to make much sense theoretically.
mircea_popescu: we know for a fact it's no crime to be poor, and what follows is that the law doesn't apply to you, just be poor.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the way society works is that it's either a crime to be poor ; or else ity's a crime to be rich. alternatives do not exist, it's a strict switch outside of the capacity of convention, like gravity : either motor force or splat.
mircea_popescu: PeterL he has a peculiar notion of poor as "under the weather / skilled immigrant / etc"
mircea_popescu: the "poor but bright and loyal famr girl" exists in mosfilm propaganda.
mircea_popescu: poverty means what it means, not what you dream it to be.
mircea_popescu: why would poor people have a job. that's the parole officer's problem.
mircea_popescu: and in the beat wife sense and in the won't pay tax/alimony/whatever sense, and in the stalking and raping sense and in all the fucking senses.
mircea_popescu: in most sane places, the way it works is that if you are RICH the law doesn't really apply to you. but in the us - converse.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you are poor in the us, the law doesn't (really) apply to you.
mircea_popescu: in particular " Me: He was convicted on fraud charges; not tax avoidance. The prosecution made the case that he knowingly offered false advice in exchange for customer’s money." is a distinction without a difference. writing "extempt" when "you shouldn't have" is exactly what "fraud" means in that context.
mircea_popescu: well, poverty is an absolute bar to the workings of law in the us, if you're poor you're priviledged. nevertheless the way this works is that you either say something or go to jail ; and if they decide you didn't say the right thing at some previous point you also go to jail.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron but are you actually exempt or just claiming ?
