copumpkin: mircea_popescu: what'd it start at again?
copumpkin: I wonder how much is in my mpex account right now
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: he tried that on us too
copumpkin: MJR_III: and most people at HFs aren't the "managers" as people call them
copumpkin: MJR_III: I think paulson made 4.8 one year
copumpkin: but there are HF managers who have made that much on good years, if you assume 40-hour work weeks and the like
copumpkin: (of high earners, to put it lightly)
copumpkin: did you guys know that there's a million-dollar-an-hour club?
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: what do you do when you're not arguing on IRC?
copumpkin: you sure you wouldn't prefer over 8000!?!?!?!?
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: "case in point" is the idiom
copumpkin: so even those that don't pay income tax pay payroll tax
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: (smickles is an accountant)
copumpkin: it really makes a huge difference that those $1700 are taxed not at 33%, not at 39.6%, but at 35% exactly
copumpkin: I disagreed with tiberiusiv so I'm clearly in the 10% bracket
copumpkin: smickles: omg you entered the 15% rate bracket?
copumpkin: MJR_III: couple of years now, on and off
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: see, Chaang-Noi is a goat, and he's epic baller
copumpkin: Chaang-Noi: tell tiberiusiv how much money we lost!
copumpkin: I think last real iphone work I did was 2009/10?
copumpkin: haven't done anything related to it in years though, really
copumpkin: maybe he'll be more amenable to it now
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: how do you know they don't realize this?
copumpkin: yes, but do you know that they havne't had to deal with that shit?
copumpkin: I haven't looked into the regulations surrounding issuing credit for short selling
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: credit regulations might apply?
copumpkin: MJR_III: if you could move money instantly, there would be very little to arb in the first place
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: I suggest that you approach things a bit more open-mindedly in future though, and don't just write off anyone who disagrees with you as poor, young, stupid, or otherwise unworthy of talking
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: I know the default rates are high
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: I'll let you do that without unnecessary distractions of people trying to talk to you
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: you seem intent on preaching a lot and listening very little
copumpkin: opinions are like assholes, they say
copumpkin: do I sense a religious undertone to that judgment?
copumpkin: by imposing rates that are too high
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: so everyone's good and the evil lenders force them to steal the money?
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: or when the borrower is a thief? :)
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: do you accept that there might be explanations other than high interest rates for that?
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: of him being a child or particularly stupid
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: I haven't really seen particular evidence of that, and he's not extrapolating unnecessarily, which are doing
copumpkin: MJR_III: he's ignored you. Your messages don't get through to him (if you haven't used IRC much before)
copumpkin: the most annoying thing about /ignore is that people keep talking about how they can't see what someone is typing :P
copumpkin: you've said I'm poor because I disagree with you
copumpkin: people can just disagree without it devolving into elementary school playground
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: you know that someone who disagrees with you isn't automatically poor or stupid
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: it's logged on MP's blog somewhere, if you look far enough back
copumpkin: I think I got a little over 100k shares for 5 or 10 btc?
copumpkin: tiberiusiv: I can't remember now, it was ages ago
