midnightmagic: I would say about half or more of the US actually agrees with you that beating children is the best way.

midnightmagic: I'm just saying, as much as it's possible to know such things, physical pain or even physical discomfort versus non-physical discipline tactics: the physical discipline is not as effective.

chetty: I wonder if much of the animosity between tea party and occupy could be simply smell?

mircea_popescu: someone was doing futures i saw
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: My list is comprable, but I the weight the "testimony" offer weighs so little on names I've assumed more guilty.
mircea_popescu: and i don't think reeses_ is even paying attention anymore.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i just went through the list of names there, which remarkably i had pretty accurate to begin with. crossing out the outright liars, like psychological compulsive sort, and the idiots, you're left with maybe 2-3 names

mircea_popescu: i'd read it.
copumpkin: well, I read the whole thing, not sure carefully fits
copumpkin: I'm sure he was freaking out and trying to come up with more convincing crap
mircea_popescu: so i take it you read this whole thing ? carefully ?
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: I dunno, there were several pretty awkward moments when it was clear he'd been caught in a lie
copumpkin: moustakis had to stay focused to catch all the crap the guy was saying, and I'm sure pirate was in overdrive trying to crank out more crap
mircea_popescu: i pity that moustakis guy.
copumpkin: I liked the bit where they said "so wait, your company folded and you're in trouble now because someone screwed you out of 202k coins, and you forget who that someone is?"

copumpkin: I was amazed at how much crap he spewed in there
mircea_popescu: i thought fraudsters never lie in court.
BingoBoingo: I mean Pirateat40 know copumkin's full name, but only James for GigaVPS
copumpkin: I'm not exactly secretive
mircea_popescu: i guess.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I knew it, but not in a court filing.
mircea_popescu: A: Because it wasn't on there. It wasn't on this database or on this website. It was tracked through a - what was that - not Sales Force. I can't remember the name of the website. It was something we just worked out together. And it has a lot of his transactions. This account looks mostly like my stuff.
