BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Is
that
the other kind of board?
BingoBoingo: It's amaxing
the filtering we happened upon. WHen nothing happens... qntra slows share creation slows. WHen shit goes down qntra heats up again.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: And Serna is young enough
to potentially leave jail after
the full sentence
mircea_popescu: "Chrisopher Serna (archived) was sentenced
to 50 years in prison by a Florida court for cutting off his girlfriend's head and sticking it on a pole."
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo wow check it out, woman betrayed
teh pakistani ring!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: On
that one basically
the half brother milked some fiat fails and went
to Pakistan when charges hit. Syed helped some of his cash return
to him.
decimation: well,
this calls
to mind
the 'trial' of georges danton
mircea_popescu: well, in cases which are essentially
this
to begin with...
decimation: My point is
that if you represent yourself you are going
to be 'presumed guilty of failing
to genuflect before
the government appropriately'
mircea_popescu: "Danish Syed (archived) was sentenced
to 18 months in prison for helping his half brother move
to Pakistan." o.O
decimation: the inspector failed
the plumbing on many counts. meanwhile
the plumber who did
the work had similar work passed by
the same inspector on a different job
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: but yeah you hire
them for
their license and make em paralegal for you
decimation: A friend
told me about how a local inspector came
to examine his house (which he was building himself).
The inspector
told him
that he should have hired a professional
to do
the plumbing (he did, but represented his own house
to
the inspector)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if you can find someone like
this, it'll usually be a paralegal.
BingoBoingo: decimation: You can hire a lawyer, but you gotta make sure
they understand
they are
the hired help.
They deal with
the clerks and
the bitchwork. You do
the reading and make
the decisions.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
ty very much for
the
timing of
that one
decimation: representing yourself in us court is a recipie for disaster -
the government clerks do not
take kindly
to people
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> williamdunne yeah
that's exactly
the sort of
thing. what clueless derp would
think of
the press bias in
these
terms ? << Whichever
Timothy go hooked into working for Vox faced
this dilemma. Staid with Vox
to his peril
mircea_popescu: they can buy either 0 shares of any stock or no less
than 0 contracts in any future.
mircea_popescu: yeah, because
they were going
to. all bought on
the generous pay
their prestigious position with
the
times allows
them.
williamdunne: Financial
Times writers no longer allowed
to hold any commodity, currency, or other
tradable asset.
midnightmagic: I'd heard of
that guy.
That's
the coinfire guy is it? Huh.
mircea_popescu: fresh off a community college course in "introduction
to journalism" from wichita ?
mircea_popescu: williamdunne yeah
that's exactly
the sort of
thing. what clueless derp would
think of
the press bias in
these
terms ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
That and he's got a few fresh off
the reddit faces he finds
to help
throw up occasional extra stories
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo afaik it's just a hard working guy
that is completely misguided as
to what constitutes business etc.
BingoBoingo: midnightmagic> williamdunne: No,
there are actual groups of people with years-long accounts who are paid. Coindesk or coinfire, or $random_lame_news_outlet "broke"
the story a while ago including screenshots and lists of reddit accounts (which
they kept private) << It was Coinfire.
They've done a few excellent stories in
their history, but
the way
they operate is just so fucking... odd
mircea_popescu: this is broadly
true, but much like
the guy with
the red stapler,
that vast majority doesn't actually
take
the
time and effort
to prop conde nast's numbers while derping
williamdunne: I just
thing
the vast majority of
the people are just derping
midnightmagic: williamdunne: No,
there are actual groups of people with years-long accounts who are paid. Coindesk or coinfire, or $random_lame_news_outlet "broke"
the story a while ago including screenshots and lists of reddit accounts (which
they kept private)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo -otc has all
teh "relevancy" one could ever wish for.
mircea_popescu: and
that goes
to
the rest of you fuckheads. 1) i know who all of you are.
this because your overlords can't keep secrets worth a shit. 2) my people are intangible or you get fucked.
BingoBoingo: Well, for what it is worth
this cat sucks at being feral. I went out for a cig and it was just sitting under a
tree. Might be someone wanted an outdoor cat as a pet.
assbot: Successfully added a rating of -10 for cusipzzz with note: ex-bitcoin merchant, meanwhile indicted over money laundering and released provisionally with an understanding
that he'll use his supposed clout in
the Bitcoin community in exchange for "lenience", whatever
that may mean.
mircea_popescu: !rate cusipzzz -10 ex-bitcoin merchant, meanwhile indicted over money laundering and released provisionally with an understanding
that he'll use his supposed clout in
the Bitcoin community in exchange for "lenience", whatever
that may mean.
decimation: mircea_popescu: what conversation were you referencing "goes right back
to yesterday, and before's discussion re starving in
the street"
cazalla: i can't say i've ever had a problem with mice or know of anyone
that has down under.. cats
though? huge problem, huge shits, lots of noise
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Feral cats
tend
to not make it inside and outside of winter
they don't really
try
to either
cazalla: BingoBoingo, but cats shit every where
too
BingoBoingo: Dratel was
the worst. Even Matlock would have done better and he's dead nao.
mircea_popescu: nothing one can do accidentally or untinentionally can ever be as bad as
the deliberate, calculated poison
the officers of
the court masquerading as "defense counsel" put forth.
mircea_popescu: whenever anyone
tells you
that fucktarded "he who represents himself has a fool for a client", do remember : at least it won't be as bad as
the silk road defense.
mircea_popescu: is perhaps
the major-est failure in known legal history.
mircea_popescu: whereas
the rest of
the derps are essentially going on a "holy shit something we never heard of before- BURN
THE WITHCq!1"
mircea_popescu: and
to point out
that
the only person being helpful
to
the community in
that room is
the accused,
mircea_popescu: that
the defense failed
to call out
the moral-panic powered prosecution
mircea_popescu: "As I've written before, Silk Road was undoubtedly a net positive for
the health, safety, and liberty of most of its customers and sellers. "
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I didn't even interupt it. As much as I hated
the noise, better it gets
the mice
than
the mice get inside
BingoBoingo: So it seems we have a young stray cat in
the neighborhood
that really likes it's dinner still screaming.
mircea_popescu: once something gains legal relevance,
there's no way
to keep it from becoming severed.
assbot: Logged on 29-05-2015 21:45:33;
trinque: it also brings
to mind
the way
these
things develop, where first intent may be something which increases or decreases
the legal severity of some other crime, but over
time becomes a crime all its own
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, cazalla and i : bringing wtf
to fb normies since a while ago.
mircea_popescu: that is
the point.
to fall from grace
there must be a grace first.
there isn't.
mircea_popescu: is it related
to his
tooth brushing habits ? is it a function of being loose with women ?
assbot: Logged on 29-05-2015 21:25:41; ascii_field: <decimation> another point
to note - if
the former speaker of
the house/k street lobbyist can't access cash in an anonymous way, what chance
to regular people have? << if he is on
trial,
then it follows
that he first fell from grace
mircea_popescu: check it out alfie, guy is starving in
the street. good enough yet ? :D
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 29-05-2015 21:22:42; decimation: another point

BingoBoingo: Most people who self diagnose salmonella usually actually
test positive for campylobacter anyways when chikken makes em sick
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
the idea is,
that e coli is commensal or symbiotic, depending on your perspective, whereas salmonella is pathogenic << unless you are a chicken or
turtle...
then salmonella is just normal poop bacteria
mircea_popescu: the idea is,
that e coli is commensal or symbiotic, depending on your perspective, whereas salmonella is pathogenic
BingoBoingo: decimation: Depends on
the strain of e. coli
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> salmonella ? << It Birds and reptiles it is part of
their normal flora. Can't be considered an adultrant
decimation: where
the chicken lobby argued
that it would be insulting
to
the housewives of america if
the government said
that
they couldn't handle some salmonella contamination
decimation: apparently
this comes from a court case in
the 1970's
mircea_popescu: decimation very unfair contrast,
this. e coli is natural gut fauna. salmonella is never found in healthy humans.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Its not like
that is
the USGs responsibility </sarc>
williamdunne: Said
that while he was ordered
to forfeit
that much
they consider what
they sold
to contribute
towards it
trinque: does
this come out of his deodorant and
titty magazine account in prison?
cazalla: williamdunne, where do you get
that from? justice.gov says "In addition
to
the life sentence prison
term, ULBRICHT was ordered
to forfeit $183,961,921."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> honestly, if i was seriously contemplating living in
the us, i'd seriously consider getting a life sentence.
that way
they're stuck paying for it all << Get yourself Bariatric,
then get
the life sentence for maximum cost infliction
mircea_popescu: williamdunne and
the part
they didn't sell because
their own agents stole ? removed
that
too ?
decimation: apparently in
the us
the strain of e.coli
that eats your colon is considered
to be an 'adulterant' in beef
williamdunne: cazalla: Owes 18m,
they removed what
they gained from selling
the coins
cazalla: he'll be eating grilled cheese off
the radiator
mircea_popescu: honestly, if i was seriously contemplating living in
the us, i'd seriously consider getting a life sentence.
that way
they're stuck paying for it all
☟︎ cazalla: don't forget
the 180m he owns USG despite em selling his proceeds
mircea_popescu: what do you suppose is
the difference between
this life in prison and
that life in prison anyway ? not like he was gonna buy himself a house.
cazalla: t-bone and chorizo and
then a couple persimmons for breakfast.. i am so snake full
mircea_popescu: they got money burnin holes in
their pockets absolutely must buy guy's meal and doctor visits.
