mircea_popescu: as in "sanity check" ?

asciilifeform: as orlov pointed out, the u.s. bezzle consists of an iron 'car, house, job' triangle.
mircea_popescu: bounce easy to explain : all preditors have an innate hatred of fast moving, light items ; preditors are better suited than rumminants for life on earth. as a result, people on bikes are in a position ot annyo people in cars, and people in cars are in a position to give them what for.
asciilifeform: (ancient essay on 'gold-plated cars', aka motorcycles, as moral hazard re: insurance)
assbot: Logged on 30-10-2014 13:20:00; thickasthieves: pankkake says hello: "That’s not an “update”, please avoid associating your nonsense with my script. Your “solution” provides no easy maintenance and comes with greater hardware requirements (as with anything pre-0.8), but I suppose you guys are pretty much clueless on this.

mircea_popescu: thickasthieves i suspect this is like the "myspace, music industry killer" idea a decade ago. yeah, it'd work, if people didn't suck. people do suck, and as a result, myspace dies.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: It just struck me as not fitting with the rest of the message. What innovations might he be referring to?

bounce: those civil forfeitures for people "structuring" their deposits so their bank has less paperwork to do is clearly an effect but not, as far as I know anyway, a publicly stated purpose of the reporting rules

thestringpuller: old as fuck
nubbins`: takes full or partial (min 8 chars) deed id as argument
