mircea_popescu: yeah. the very sharp desperation come to think of it was more of a ro thing. everyone else, from yugos and poles all the way over to moscow had a lot more sense than to take socialism seriously.
thestringpuller: when i was reading that i asked myself, "Who travels with cash anymore?"
thestringpuller: wasn't the seinfeld era also the era of "traveler's cheques" and shiznit?
phf: i used to travel with cash before i got an hsbc account
phf: asciilifeform: as far as i gather they have highest ground coverage of all banks on account of running the world, which means that i can get a no fee atm pretty much anywhere
thestringpuller: mod6: it's insane man. the AI in Absolution is a beast. when you kill someone normally, like with gun or fiber wire, it leaves marks on the body, and AI will see that. so they detect someone is there. however, there are ways people can die where the AI is just like "Huh.

phf: asciilifeform: amt fees, international fees and also fees that atms charge on top of withdrawl?
mircea_popescu: yeah srsly. the problem with cards isn't the piddly dollar or w/e the atm charges.
phf: that's another thing, can find a branch pretty much anywhere
mircea_popescu: if i have a roll and i want to pay 2k, i peel 2k off the roll. if i have a card i do what, wait for a week to get 400 / day ?
mircea_popescu: and no, you can't find a branch pretty much anywhere outside the us. what you find and don't know any better are independent organisations that bought the right to use the name.
phf: they turned you down when you walked in?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: doesn't this require you to have stacks of cash at your residence?
mircea_popescu: but manhattan hq was "oh, we can't do that, they're not actually OURS" when i wanted them to etc.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes, having access to cash requires you to have access to cash.
thestringpuller: so you don't leave any cash in banks or like what is the arrangement there is more what I'm inquring about :P
trinque: bahaha yes, he's now going to tell you where his money is at.
trinque: y'know... I bet he has a few of them buttcoins.
phf: mircea_popescu: i wouldn't say hsbc branches are everywhere, but they've been in every country i've been to so far
mircea_popescu: i actually use a clip. it's pretty great, can swallow a hundred bill stack vertically, or else just folds whatrever.
phf: and i've extracted cash from them for the duration of my stay
mircea_popescu: phf to put it in these terms, your high opinion of your insurance is mostly built on you not having had anything covered.
thestringpuller: trinque: lemme rephrase; MPEx::Bitcion as X::USD what is X? Obviously no bank qualifies there.
mircea_popescu: did it actually happen to you that you had your card skimread in foreign jurisdiction and hsbc was "oh fuck we'll squish those fuckers"
phf: mircea_popescu: no, i had some dodgy charges removed though
mircea_popescu: but you know, the nightmare scenario is when seven+ figure account is linked to half a dozen cards which regularly pay for things such as "dinner for six at chez victor".
phf: asciilifeform: this is empty rhetoric unless you're actually not using a bank account
phf: i mean, ~i~ benefit from "$300 back", why would i pretend like i'm mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: they mostly don't, and the "i'm not about to use card in foreign skimreader slit" is unescapable policy in plenty of real life situations.
phf: i have a card that's linked to my spending account, where i have to explicitly go and transfer money from a different account. at most i'm standing to lose $5k or so
phf: i find it convenient, that, so far, i was able to walk into branches in different parts of the world, and extract 2-3k at a time to cover me for a few days of vacation. sometimes i also get sloppy (3am, i'm drunk), so i'll pull money from atm in some dodgy location
mircea_popescu: that's not what you most stand to lose. what you most stand to lose is this situation where you "lose it", and tell the bank to close it, which they won't, so have to be screamed at and threatened, so they "do", except they keep re-opening it as the charges keep coming in, over ~years~.
mircea_popescu: so you keep having to scream and threaten, ie, half a mil over two decades.
mircea_popescu: that's the problem with trusting us banking/anything really : they lie.
mircea_popescu: and then keeps sending you overdraft notices, and on and on.
phf: the overdraft thing, i thought, is a feature, that you negotiate when you sign the contract
mircea_popescu: phf depends. you mean "the overdraft thing" as a feature to serve you, or as a feature to serve them ?
mircea_popescu: there's no "closed account" artefact, in spite of customer intuition to the contrary.
mircea_popescu: just like there is no "fuck you and your alimony, until and unless customer signs you a checque you can go dangle"
phf: asciilifeform: i don't think that's "secret", that's somewhere in the contract that you sign with a visa network, which is separate from bank's contract
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's to elaborate ? "item x does not exist" "but i think it does" "good for you and good luck with santa"
phf: asciilifeform: banks don't have to close the account, and if your account has been linked to visa, they have to keep it mandatory open for the duration of something like 10 years from your last transaction, which is how long visa network can claim a chargeback
phf: civilian accounts are always linked to visa network by default "you can access your savings from this card too, ain't it swell"
phf: ah but you have to have the counterparty
mircea_popescu: anyway, not to say that the patient, organised, large entity can't actually tailor something that works for them ; but for retail (ie, you're worth millions or less) customer to expect they get THAT by default is cruisin' for a bruisin'. which is not so much of a problem generally because the lifestyle of us peonry is very narrow anyway.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no official smokescreen per se ; just, the us is predicated on "saying no is mean". what follows is soup.
mircea_popescu: also the described hobo-rubbish thing actually happened irl. there's tons of sad stories of the middle class encountering us bank system.
mircea_popescu: yes, and also the reason pretty much everyone in mexico has dreamcatcher on wall.
mircea_popescu: in general, companies have a serious problem - because unless they're on the "official list google returns results from", the business case is rather weak - companies don't live too long. bank has little reason to try and salvage the business of an entity that lives on average under a decade.
mircea_popescu: even something like apple - here today, gone tomorrow. alphabet inc was fdounded... 2015. ie it's not yet 2 years old. on it goes.
mircea_popescu: generally, once the founder dies you can assume usg got it. just liek in roman empire.
mircea_popescu: much like if you're aiming to tell me google makes 70bn a year out of people paying for online advertising...
mircea_popescu: the whole market is not even 1% that, and mostly fed by very short lived foools
mircea_popescu: (+the government of argentina - which is currently paying google money to advertise itself to me, in terms of "soberania". the lulz of this is apparently lost for every spanish speaking tard)
mircea_popescu: but who knows, maybe if they give google its cut they'll be able to place bonds in a year or two again. paul graham has the details.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the problem with the world that "magically" works is that if one day it magically stops working you're invited to go magically fuck yourself.
mircea_popescu: tautology is the last ditch in the fight with they who do not wish to understand the plainly obvious. there's little more to be said to "i just want it to work" crowd than some tautology or other, because the problem in their head is exactly this : to them, it ISNT tautological.
phf sits there sadly with his hsbc account
mircea_popescu: lol i was talking in teh general. dun worry, has nothing to do with you.
phf: it was my last link to jet setters, men of the world
mircea_popescu: the deep problem is that any known implementation of division of labour imports magic.h
mircea_popescu: so this is far from a resolved problem. no actual action is required of you ; merely the understanding suffices.
mircea_popescu: (the most successful to date thing tried, to resolve this - commodification - is turning out to be worse a solution than no solution at all. between dicamba, alf's saw, my heater and hollywood movies, the point is pretty sorely obvious.)
mircea_popescu: hence all the appeal of "colored coins" "dao" blablabla. to people with no experience or clue of reality whatsoever, it truly seems like a complete solution - commodification without the downsides!!!
mircea_popescu: for everyone else - there's the wot. and the fucking important point from this view of republican history to date is just this : we've actually built a selection of magic spells that are both a) magic to the user and b) fixable through a definite process.
