| IsambardPrince | I hate those other car washes. They don't give you much soap. Much anything really. | Feb 24 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | You exit the wash $16 lighter and there's salt streaks and bird shit all over it. | Feb 24 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | There are apparently plenty of birds that don't leave for the winter. | Feb 24 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | So you get salt and shit on your car all winter here, it's awful. | Feb 24 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Someone was driving a cybertruck yesterday with temp tags. | Feb 24 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | $168,000+interest poorer so they can get a midlife crisis that will lose $150,000 in value over the next 6 years. | Feb 24 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | This is not a rich person move. | Feb 24 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | This is a poor person move. | Feb 24 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The State Board of Elections says the mayor did not win in a fair campaign. Neither did any of the aldermen rulling against her. | Feb 24 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Every election for locals is terrible. | Feb 24 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I carry dozens of pieces of election junkmail to the recycle bin to get it out of my box. | Feb 24 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | It's always "That person is worse than Satan and in fact eats babies." | Feb 24 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | "If you vote for her she'll eat babies." | Feb 24 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | "If you vote for him he'll eat twice as many babies." | Feb 24 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, She did jackhammer the old water tower when she found homeless people were living in it. | Feb 24 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | She hired a cheap contractor to go out there and start pounding on concrete without any measures to prevent concrete dust from flying for miles and blanketing cars, houses, and businesses. | Feb 24 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Although to be fair, they did buy an old hotel and refurbish it for a homeless shelter. | Feb 24 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I was surprised that they did the homeless shelter, although to be fair they may have needed to. The issue of ruining people's cars and stuff and making them angry over the incompetent dismantling of the water tower called attention to cruelty to the homeless. | Feb 24 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | There was so much crap from that water tower, some of it got on my car, and I'm at least a few miles away. | Feb 24 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I have not been investing in Treasury Bills since Trump said the US might default on Treasuries. | Feb 24 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Because of unspecified "fraud". | Feb 24 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no amount of money I want to risk handing to a government that's openly talking about not paying its debts. | Feb 24 01:38 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Dave Ramsey mentioned keeping his savings in money market mutual funds. | Feb 24 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no FDIC insurance on those. | Feb 24 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | They invest in Treasuries and government repurchase agreements and overnight loans to the Fed. | Feb 24 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | He said "I'm not aware of any that have ever failed so I don't care about FDIC insurance." | Feb 24 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Maybe Trump will decide to have a sovereign default and Mr. Ramsey will have no money instead of the bank being on the hook to pay as agreed. | Feb 24 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | AFAIK even in the 1998 Russian default, money in banks didn't cease to exist. | Feb 24 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Many banks are more exposed to loan products to consumers more than government paper. | Feb 24 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | SVB proved that there are risks in going heavy on government paper. | Feb 24 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Rate the stupidity factor of x where 1 is invading Russia during the winter and 10 is SVB going long on 30 year Treasurry bonds at 0.75% interest. | Feb 24 01:44 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Feb 24 01:44 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 24 01:45 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Now SVB's executives are facing civil wrongdoing charges by the government, for investing too much in long term low yield government bonds during the worst possible time to do that. | Feb 24 01:45 |
| MinceR | invading muscovy during the winter is easy, just make sure you heat it up nicely with thermonuclear warheads first. | Feb 24 01:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The government is saying that the bank took too big a risk on GOVERNMENT debt. :D | Feb 24 01:46 |
| MinceR | and they were right | Feb 24 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | The risk was that they were locked in for 30 years at a pathetic rate. | Feb 24 01:46 |
| MinceR | governments are incompetent, so investing in them is risky | Feb 24 01:46 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, When the bank is making moves to preserve capital, it should seek to maximize returns in the process, and in that case, shorten the average duration so that they can quickly reinvest at more favorable rates in the future. | Feb 24 01:47 |
| IsambardPrince | You go long when you expect rates won't get any higher than they are for many years. | Feb 24 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | But you always need liquidity, so if you're an institution you need to hold some liquid cash, and various treasuries in all durations, in any environment. | Feb 24 01:49 |
| IsambardPrince | The bank could have also taken some risk by investing part of it in the broader market, or consumer loans. | Feb 24 01:50 |
| IsambardPrince | This makes you wonder where they even got these managers from. | Feb 24 01:51 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Chainsaw Man is going after the FHA. | Feb 24 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Apparently half their staff will be cut. | Feb 24 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | The FHA is a disaster. | Feb 24 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Over 12% of all FHA insured mortgages are right now heading for foreclosure. | Feb 24 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Over a third end up in foreclosure. The feds say it extends valuable credit to people who otherwise would be denied the loan. | Feb 24 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a reason they'd be denied. | Feb 24 02:37 |

| IsambardPrince | But the incentive pay ended at 150%. | Feb 24 05:18 |
| techrights-news | Let's do the same at a NATIONAL level | Feb 24 05:18 |
| IsambardPrince | If they ran out of performance incentive work, they told you to sweep the floor, which brought you down to base rate, doing janitor shit for a while. | Feb 24 05:19 |

| IsambardPrince | When they did the time cards, it lowered my PIE percentage and paid me twice what the janitor made. | Feb 24 05:20 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], It was enough to add another $3,500 each year I worked there. | Feb 24 05:20 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Janitor only made $9.50, but they were paying me over $20 and not realizing it because I had excess PIE from production codes. | Feb 24 05:21 |

| IsambardPrince | Another way to build the PIE faster was to take advantage of time that it budgeted for a job that you did not use. For example, if it says to pull part of an order, it will stop at 20 pieces, even if they're the smallest pieces. It figures you will go bring those to the induction line, but you don't have to. Sometimes you can build four or even 5 of them in one go, getting credit for a 5 minute trip you're not making each time. That | Feb 24 05:29 |
| IsambardPrince | gives you more PIE to drain later under a janitor code. | Feb 24 05:29 |

| IsambardPrince | Each order picker had a computer, it ran a unix system and it would tell you which order you were in. If a row was full of pickers, you could skip rows as long as you were pulling out of the same order. Then you could log out and log in and it would take you back to the first unpicked pulls. | Feb 24 05:30 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | paralysis by fear | Feb 24 06:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Corruption and insanity. | Feb 24 06:52 |
| IsambardPrince | That's what's happening here. | Feb 24 06:52 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], The federal government should sell some of its gold to the states to remain deposited at Fort Knox. | Feb 24 06:53 |
| IsambardPrince | As the gold value rises, it will help the pension fund solvency. | Feb 24 06:53 |
| IsambardPrince | No need for fake "crypto" nonsense. | Feb 24 06:53 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | i cannot find the video or quote | Feb 24 06:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at this time | Feb 24 06:53 |
| IsambardPrince | If the pensions need money to pay benefits, sell the gold. | Feb 24 06:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | gerorge carlin said that midlife crisis is when you reach this age where all the idiots from school - the worst and dumbest people - are running things | Feb 24 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | It would not take much gold from Fort Knox to set up a state pension gold portfolio. | Feb 24 06:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in your country | Feb 24 06:54 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you recognise those who get ahead are the very worst people | Feb 24 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | They're always the worst, the dumbest, the cruelest, and the least qualified people who get into "leadership". | Feb 24 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why nothing works right and all the revered institutions fail. | Feb 24 06:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | right | Feb 24 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], When Indiana fucks around and finds out with the state pensions, Social Security takes over and sends the state a bill. | Feb 24 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | And the state still has to pay the pensions. | Feb 24 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | It just gambled with the money and lost it and has to pay it again. | Feb 24 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | That's what bitcoin reserves will do. | Feb 24 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't use the life savings to play slot machines at the casino. | Feb 24 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | You need a diversified portfolio of real investments. | Feb 24 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Which hedge each other for various risk types. | Feb 24 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Fixed income doesn't grow fast so you can't make the amount of money you need. | Feb 24 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Stocks that could return a fortune often fail, but not always. | Feb 24 06:59 |
| IsambardPrince | And then there's the stuff in the middle. | Feb 24 07:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Real assets, well capitalized large companies with a track record, and so on. | Feb 24 07:00 |

| IsambardPrince | Setting the phone up so that it just won't ring for most people. | Feb 24 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | And it's a high bar for them to even leave me a voicemail. | Feb 24 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Today the neighbor locked himself out. | Feb 24 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | He went beep beeeeep beeeeeeeeeep on my doorbell for a few minutes. I got up and took a leak and went back to bed. | Feb 24 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | It's that asshole with the loud stereo that never turns it down for long if I ask. | Feb 24 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | So he was locked out of the building for 4 hours until his girlfriend came home and let him in. | Feb 24 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Stuck out there in the cold. | Feb 24 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | physical key? | Feb 24 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | fob? | Feb 24 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | He was trying to manipulate me to get up and stop everything and let him in, after he's made a pest out of himself. | Feb 24 07:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | appl? | Feb 24 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Physical key. | Feb 24 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | So I manipulated him. | Feb 24 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | After 4 hours in a cold mailroom, he won't forget his key again. | Feb 24 07:04 |
| IsambardPrince | And then there will be no need to beep me. | Feb 24 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "now you know how _I_ feel" | Feb 24 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that is a big issue | Feb 24 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | over adecade ago we lived in a tall building | Feb 24 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and people could just buzz any apartment | Feb 24 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | many false buzzes | Feb 24 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | either from guests | Feb 24 07:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or from neigbours | Feb 24 07:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you have your own door | Feb 24 07:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then it's less likely to occur | Feb 24 07:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you can tell sometimes | Feb 24 07:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | who or what that is | Feb 24 07:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | parcel | Feb 24 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], I could take the cover off the wall and disconnect the speaker I suppose. | Feb 24 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | No more beeps. | Feb 24 07:06 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | jehovah's witnesses? (they knocked her days ago; we ignored the knock) | Feb 24 07:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | people act irresponsible | Feb 24 07:07 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | if you let them get away with it | Feb 24 07:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | one example is, not taking a key | Feb 24 07:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because they reckon there si some loophole | Feb 24 07:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "i can buzz my sleeping neighbour | Feb 24 07:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or | Feb 24 07:08 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | no notyhing | Feb 24 07:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | gonna be late? | Feb 24 07:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | THEN RUN! | Feb 24 07:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you RUN | Feb 24 07:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you meet on time | Feb 24 07:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no lateness | Feb 24 07:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are many other aspects to this | Feb 24 07:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no last-minute cancelations | Feb 24 07:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Mandy calls lateness Filipino Time. | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are aspsects that i forget | Feb 24 07:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Like we're supposed to be there at 4 and his friends don't show up until 5:30. | Feb 24 07:10 |
| IsambardPrince | That's incredibly rude. | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | oh, that's the thing | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you wear a watch | Feb 24 07:10 |
| IsambardPrince | You just wasted an hour and a half of my day. | Feb 24 07:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Just say 5:30. | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nope, not "SMART" 'phone" | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a f*(*ing watch | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | one that works | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no batteries need charging | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | changing once a year is ok | Feb 24 07:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or once in 3 years | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you know t he time | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you remember when to meet | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no SMS | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you know | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 1) time | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 2) place | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and RUN | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | much simpler and better | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and it generally worked | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | hailing taxis with the hand | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not some "app" | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or "phone up" | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you could even hitch one anonymously | Feb 24 07:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's still possible but frowned upon | Feb 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there will always be some driver that waaants busines | Feb 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and finds a loophole for accepting someone who expressed demand | Feb 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | on the road | Feb 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the government wants society to stop this | Feb 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so it has data on all t ransit t ravel | Feb 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but who gains from such data? | Feb 24 07:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you cannot even access this data | Feb 24 07:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they can say where you were or not | Feb 24 07:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when looking to frame you | Feb 24 07:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in the past year we met two people on the street | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | strangers | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | thhheir phone ran our of batteries | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and they didn't know where to go | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | didn't think of making a paper backup | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or were dependent on Google Maps | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (or similar) | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | without even writing down the address | Feb 24 07:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so a lot can go wrong with these devices that might malfunction or just run out of juice | Feb 24 07:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it can be a big problem for "digital tickets" and apps for transit | Feb 24 07:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so people start carrying "power banks" | Feb 24 07:17 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "subscribing"? | Feb 24 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | You pay $99 a year, get most of it back as a $5 credit, they give you double "points" on store brands, and a 5% discount on organics and a bunch of other stuff. | Feb 24 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | click, like, subscribbbe? | Feb 24 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, if you use it enough, the subscription actually is cheaper than just buying the food at the list price. | Feb 24 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | sounds like loyaaalty [[[sic] card | Feb 24 07:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "subscribing" is something else | Feb 24 07:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, it's a loyalty card, but they make you pay for it. | Feb 24 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | But then turn around and basically hand it right back. | Feb 24 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I can see why they would. | Feb 24 07:45 |
| IsambardPrince | If you paid for that you'll use it, and it means shopping at their store. | Feb 24 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I like one stop shopping. Aldi doesn't have everything. | Feb 24 07:46 |
| IsambardPrince | They get it out of you one way or another. | Feb 24 07:48 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | *as well | Feb 24 17:35 |
| Sompi_ | I think that there is a difference between those two sayings | Feb 24 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sompi_: can i repost in some form? | Feb 24 17:36 |
| Sompi_ | here's a better version http://paste.dy.fi/5Dr/plain | Feb 24 17:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sompi_: yes, it can mean something ewlse | Feb 24 17:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like yourt computer is good | Feb 24 17:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but you use 486s | Feb 24 17:37 |
| Sompi_ | Should I also mention that the modern computers are mostly boot restricted and it's impossible to try-and-learn any low-level stuff with them... | Feb 24 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you can add this | Feb 24 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i can edit a bit also, but super-minor | Feb 24 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because it speaaaks of a REAL issue | Feb 24 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's not a .fi issue | Feb 24 17:38 |
| Sompi_ | nothing in that writing is a .fi issue | Feb 24 17:44 |
| Sompi_ | it's everywhere | Feb 24 17:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yes | Feb 24 17:45 |
| Sompi_ | http://paste.dy.fi/5Mm/plain | Feb 24 17:46 |
| Sompi_ | The last paragraph is definitely also important, although not for most programmers | Feb 24 17:47 |
| Sompi_ | But someone needs to maintain that low-level stuff too | Feb 24 17:48 |
| Sompi_ | Otherwise the whole system collapses | Feb 24 17:48 |
| MinceR | oh, i forgot another name for cheeto hitler: orange cockwomble | Feb 24 17:51 |

| IsambardPrince | They think that they fool people with their government lies. | Feb 24 22:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they just don't care if you believe it or not. | Feb 24 22:08 |
| IsambardPrince | We've reached the "walking out of windows" phase. | Feb 24 22:08 |
| nobody | two good news: Donald C. Lindner and his liberals were kicked out of german parliament | Feb 24 22:10 |
| nobody | and, the Blackrock Capital Coalition hasn't got a 2/3 majority in parliament anylonger | Feb 24 22:11 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Well, at least my dad agrees that there's no hope of getting at the minerals without Russia off Ukraine's land, and grateful to us for helping them, and that Russia needs to be kicked in the teeth so hard they never even think about it again, and wouldn't even be able to try for many years. | Feb 24 22:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Most Republicans in Congress who have said anything are not happy about what's going on. | Feb 24 22:11 |

| MinceR | IsambardPrince: the orange cockwomble seems to be in the way of kicking muscovy in the teeth. he's regurgitating putinist propaganda. | Feb 24 22:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, this is a big problem. | Feb 24 22:13 |
| MinceR | also, according to my calculations, at least 39% of the human population supports kidnapping of kids and genocide. | Feb 24 22:13 |
| IsambardPrince | nobody, Berkshire operates like private capital, but at the same time, differently. | Feb 24 22:14 |
| IsambardPrince | They're a pretty diversified stock, and a weird one for the US. | Feb 24 22:14 |
| IsambardPrince | I really like them. They're pretty much a license to print money. | Feb 24 22:14 |
| IsambardPrince | They're further diversifying into international stocks that are very much like themselves. | Feb 24 22:15 |
| IsambardPrince | A company that starts grabbing subsidiaries and becomes a conglomerate. | Feb 24 22:15 |
| IsambardPrince | If you have people at the top who are good at this, it really pays off. | Feb 24 22:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Blackrock has a lot of funds that were just fucking garbage that were designed pretty much solely to appease the Biden-era people. | Feb 24 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Stuff where making money takes a backseat to "environmental" goals and DEI. | Feb 24 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | And this shouldn't be the main goal in investing. | Feb 24 22:16 |
| nobody | the elections results were tweaked however; the re-established communist party movement BSW missed the 5% minimum with 4.973% and cannot join parliament | Feb 24 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | If you want to donate your money to charity, donate it to charity. | Feb 24 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | This shouldn't be securitized. | Feb 24 22:17 |
| nobody | if this BSW movement joined parliament, then aour CDU blackrock capital CEO leader wouldn't have a 50% coalition option remaining | Feb 24 22:17 |
| nobody | same with Liberals, if they had passed 5% (which THEY certainly did not, but the prognosis got tweaked too, i think, because "liberals" and shareholder value ...) | Feb 24 22:19 |
| nobody | anyway, so far i am not too disappointed, the current results merely missed the _maximum_ enterntainment scale of drama | Feb 24 22:19 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi has some views about credit cards that seem to stem from the fact that they're just an utterly trash product in the UK. | Feb 24 22:20 |
| IsambardPrince | The slide fees in the UK are much lower, like they are in other places, so if you can even find a card that pays 0.75% back, that's "high", so none are worth bothering with. | Feb 24 22:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Meanwhile, interest there seems completely unregulated, so 35-55% APR is considered normal apparently? So if you go into debt it will multiply faster than you can even possibly get a handle on it. | Feb 24 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | And UK bankruptcy laws are very harsh, so that's not an option unless you want to lose everything and be treated like you're on the sex offender registry. | Feb 24 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So under this environment, I would NEVER have even one credit card in the UK. | Feb 24 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | There's no upside, and the potential for disaster is obvious. | Feb 24 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | In the US, banks always want you to sign up for more products. | Feb 24 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if that means more losses for them, it means more profit because overall their portfolio will do well. | Feb 24 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | They put consumers in "tranches" based on FICO scores and income, and they control what interest rates they would pay and how much they'll risk lending to each tranche. | Feb 24 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Bankruptcy is relatively lenient on the debtor here because the banks realize that if we had stiff laws like the UK, nobody would even dare borrow anything from them, then no profits. | Feb 24 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | And they can fund generous credit card rewards because there's few if any laws regulating slide fees, so they can make the merchants pay for it and the merchants effectively charge people who pay cash or debit, and hand the money to me. | Feb 24 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Unwillingly in the sense that everyone uses a card so they don't want to be cut off from the network, willingly in the sense that they don't need the network, but they lose 40% of their business if they demand cash. | Feb 24 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Lending practices in other countries tend to be different because of different regulatory environment or the acceptance or rejection of accurate credit scoring models. | Feb 24 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | The US was the first with a reasonably accurate model. | Feb 24 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | It's like psychiatry right? If you sent 100 patients to see the psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist was good at his job, he could not tell you which one was the serial killer with 100% accuracy, but he could probably give you a list of probabilities for each person in the group. | Feb 24 22:28 |
| IsambardPrince | They've had experience documenting psychopathic behavior, so when you see it you can usually identify it if you know what you're looking for. | Feb 24 22:29 |
| IsambardPrince | FICO works like this with debt management. They've analyzed the spending patters of millions of people and they know what people tend to do if they are not going to pay their loans. | Feb 24 22:29 |
| IsambardPrince | By collecting a profile on individuals who have been loaned a triffling amount (say $500) they can get a feel for what they're dealing with and banks then decide if they will risk more or cut them off. | Feb 24 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Because they have data to compare this person to. | Feb 24 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | The $500 credit card is a test. They toss you an amount of money that won't affect the bank much and see what you do. | Feb 24 22:31 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't just start off saying here's $100,000 and if you fuck us, oh well. | Feb 24 22:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Insurance underwriting follows similar guidelines. In his letter to investors, Warren Buffett says GEICO is getting better at underwriting, which means predicting who will have car accidents, and what to charge. | Feb 24 22:32 |
| IsambardPrince | If you want rates to go up on safe drivers, and offer perverse incentives for shitty drivers, and make it impossible to rate anyone fairly, so rates go up for everyone, you pass a law like what Illinois is considering. | Feb 24 22:33 |
| IsambardPrince | You ban them from rating people for being male or female, having good or bad credit, being married or unmarried, living in a dangerous neighborhood with a lot of uninsured drivers and car thefts, vs. a safe one. | Feb 24 22:33 |
| IsambardPrince | The legislators say it's unfair, but... If they can't figure out what the risk is, everyone will pay a higher average premium so that the insurer can know they won't lose money. | Feb 24 22:34 |
| IsambardPrince | If men drive in a way that costs insurers more money, then that's a data point, if people with bad credit tend to drive poorly because they don't pay their bills anyway if there's a wreck, that's a data point. | Feb 24 22:35 |
| IsambardPrince | If you live in a dangerous area where you're twice as likely to be carjacked or have your catalytic convertor stolen, data point.. | Feb 24 22:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Men don't actually pay more than women, on average, in Illinois. This is a myth that men always pay more. | Feb 24 22:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Women pay 2% more for car insurance in Illinois, on average. | Feb 24 22:37 |
| IsambardPrince | So as you can see, it's a modest rating factor and in some states, the pool determines that women are worse drivers. | Feb 24 22:37 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you pass some landmark bill to make insurance fair, that factor will be more or less neutral anyway. | Feb 24 22:38 |
| IsambardPrince | nobody, Data science is neat you know. Quantifying risk. | Feb 24 22:39 |
| IsambardPrince | It would be terrific if politicians knew how to do this accurately. | Feb 24 22:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Denmark now says it will increase military spending 70%. | Feb 24 22:39 |
| IsambardPrince | After 3 years of Russia occupying Ukraine. | Feb 24 22:39 |
| IsambardPrince | They shouldd have built up their defenses years ago. | Feb 24 22:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Europe is only doing this now because they finally realize that US military spending is no longer Europe's welfare state budget. | Feb 24 22:40 |
| IsambardPrince | One reason France raised the retirement age 3 years is probably due to this. It was massively unpopular. | Feb 24 22:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone is always looking to get more out of the system than they put in. | Feb 24 22:41 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't care if the budget balances. They don't care how high the national debt goes. | Feb 24 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | They want to get more out than they put in, and they see dying before it all fails to be their goal, even though they'll stick their own children with the bill. | Feb 24 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | This is how my parents are. | Feb 24 22:42 |
| IsambardPrince | It's human nature, pal. Us vs. Them. | Feb 24 22:43 |
| MinceR | and that's why humans will never form a civilization | Feb 24 22:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The reason my mom and dad elected (by proxy) a South African slaver and apartheid billionaire, and a Nazi, to become the President and tear apart the federal government looking for "couch change" is they think that it will save their Social Security checks, when that will be destroyed too. | Feb 24 22:45 |

| IsambardPrince | Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). For example, at GSA, with 13,000 employees, there are: | Feb 24 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | - 37,000 WinZip licenses | Feb 24 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | - 19,000 training software subscriptions (and multiple parallel training software platforms) | Feb 24 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | -7,500 project management software seats for a division with 5,500 employees | Feb 24 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | - 3 different ticketing systems running in parallel | Feb 24 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Fixes are actively in work. | Feb 24 22:46 |
| IsambardPrince | --- | Feb 24 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Why do they have WinZip licenses? | Feb 24 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They could be using PeaZip for free. | Feb 24 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | That's almost $2 million so they can use WinZip instead of PeaZip. | Feb 24 22:48 |
| IsambardPrince | They should at least shed the excess annual licenses, but I don't know of a good reason to have WinZip. | Feb 24 22:49 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Someone on Reddit said their friend found a ton of cash in the walls. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They want to know if they can use it to buy a nicer house. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I replied, "You could buy a house with cash but when you use a lot of cash to make a purchase over $10,000 it's a real big pain in the ass. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | If you want a complete rundown, ask a car salesman what they have to do (but don't give them your name because they may file a Suspicious Activity Report because you asked them about it). | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It involves a federal background check (in the case of a car at least) to make sure you're not on a list of some very bad people, a Suspicious Activity Report sent to FinCEN even if you don't actually buy the car, etc. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Your best bet? Putting it in banks. You don't want more in any given bank than the FDIC insurance limit for each institution. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | You then need to declare it as "Other Income" on your tax return. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | If the IRS notices you're spending a ton of money and there's no obvious source for it, you could find a world of shit opening up on you. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | You shouldn't tell anyone that you found this money, or they might even rob you, but you should put it in bank accounts earning good interest. In some cases there are massive welcome bonuses because this is even "private client" type cash. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not illegal to find six figures of cash. Not at all. It's illegal to evade taxes, so don't even think about it. There can be all kinds of criminal penalties, civil penalties, the ATF could start investigating whether you're a drug dealer. | Feb 24 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | There is no tax exemption for found money. You cannot prove in a tax audit, that that money was already taxed. You don't mess around with the IRS. Some nights in prison are even worse than others. | Feb 24 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Just pay your damn tax and be glad you have money." | Feb 24 23:00 |
| MinceR | car? i thought it was a house | Feb 24 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | SARs is the same no matter what. | Feb 24 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | $10,000 or "structuring" they have mandatory reporting laws on cash. | Feb 24 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | You can go to prison for not filing a SAR on someone. | Feb 24 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | --- | Feb 24 23:01 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The only other way to go through that cash would be to limit it to small purchases that are not on anyone's radar. | Feb 24 23:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Congratulations, you found a lifetime supply of gas and groceries. | Feb 24 23:02 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Not that this would be a terrible thing. Without gas and grocery money coming out of your check, you'll build up more money in the bank account that nobody will investigate that you can buy a car or house with, eventually. | Feb 24 23:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Because it was all taxed and came in the form of a paycheck. | Feb 24 23:03 |
| IsambardPrince | But this is the slow boat. | Feb 24 23:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I spend abbout $700 a month on food and about $100 on gas. | Feb 24 23:04 |
| IsambardPrince | So over ten years, that's like $100,000 give or take. | Feb 24 23:04 |
| IsambardPrince | If I had a pile of cash like this guy did, I could let the explainable money build up in the buffer (bank account), and eventually buy a house, in 20 years or so. | Feb 24 23:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Maybe sooner. | Feb 24 23:05 |
| IsambardPrince | You can always pay small amounts of cash to buy money orders. | Feb 24 23:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So to burn through it faster, pay cash for money orders, then pay rent with money orders. | Feb 24 23:05 |
| IsambardPrince | There's another $12,000-20,000 a year building up. | Feb 24 23:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Or only pay it like that sometimes. | Feb 24 23:06 |
| IsambardPrince | You'll go through the cash eventually, but it will reappear as offsets in your bank account, from not spending traceable money in the bank account. | Feb 24 23:06 |
| IsambardPrince | But if you take a bag of cash to the bank you'll definitely, ermmm, provoke a response. | Feb 24 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, If the person wants to get clever, then depleting the cash through small every day transactions that won't draw attention would really be the only way to go. | Feb 24 23:09 |
| IsambardPrince | And I know you say "Well, if he rents doesn't he burn through wasted cash on the rent?" Well, yes, yes he does, but the IRS and state also wouldn't get nearly 40% of it. | Feb 24 23:09 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Feb 24 23:09 |
| MinceR | maybe they could also trickle the cash into a bank account over time | Feb 24 23:09 |
| IsambardPrince | You can, but I wouldn't do it fast or with the entire thing. | Feb 24 23:10 |
| IsambardPrince | The Treasury/IRS is integrated into the entire US banking system. | Feb 24 23:10 |
| MinceR | obviously | Feb 24 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | All they have to do is use the Bank Secrecy Act to get in and look at what you've been up to and if they see you've been depositing small amounts consistently, they're going to know they have a tax cheat. | Feb 24 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | And the BSA says the bank can't tell you you're being investigated, or that they've filed a SAR if they did that. | Feb 24 23:11 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Either put it in the bank and declare it, or don't go near the bank at all. | Feb 24 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Feb 24 23:12 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, When my grandma on my dad's side passed away, she had so much money in cigar boxes that my uncle stopped counting at like $90,000. | Feb 24 23:13 |
| IsambardPrince | It was ridiculous. | Feb 24 23:13 |
| IsambardPrince | This woman survived the Depression and did not believe in the FDIC. | Feb 24 23:13 |
| IsambardPrince | She put my grandfathers's pension and their retirement checks from SSA in those boxes, in cash, and left them in her kitchen, in a bad neighborhood. | Feb 24 23:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Even when they were old. | Feb 24 23:14 |
| IsambardPrince | My uncle kept most of the money. | Feb 24 23:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Pretty much royally screwed everyone else. | Feb 24 23:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Inheritences aren't taxed, but that wasn't exactly an inheritance. | Feb 24 23:14 |
| IsambardPrince | They died without a will. | Feb 24 23:15 |
| IsambardPrince | None of that money was dispensed by an executor. | Feb 24 23:15 |
| IsambardPrince | If it had been in a bank account with the rates they paid in the 80s and 90s it would have been over 4x as much money. | Feb 24 23:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Some banks that sold 20 year CDs back then were panicking and leaning on their customers to take it early, but you were under no obligation to. | Feb 24 23:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So some people had CDs paying 17-19% interest for 20 years while the bank was only making 7%-10% on its lending. | Feb 24 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | LOL | Feb 24 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | The banks were fuming because they stupidly agreed to this and then nobody wanted to hand it over voluntarily. | Feb 24 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The Fed hikes in the 80s were hilarious. | Feb 24 23:17 |
| IsambardPrince | The banks had been loaning money for mortgages, including to mom and dad for their starter home, at 6 or 7%, then all of a sudden the Fed rate went up to like 20%. | Feb 24 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | All of a sudden these banks were losing a LOT of money on mortgages. | Feb 24 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | This is how the ARM loan got started. | Feb 24 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | The banks decided that they'd do 5/1 and 7/1 ARMs and the 5 or 7 is a teaser then the rate resets every year based on current rates. | Feb 24 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | So in the Great Recession, it went up dramatically and few could afford their home, and they got laid off so refi into a fixed was impossible since there was no money and nobody was lending anyway. | Feb 24 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | My parents would have been better off financially keeping the house they had when I was born and paying it off. Had they stayed married, and sold it today, they would have made a profit of almost $150,000 on that house, which cost them $20,000. | Feb 24 23:21 |
| IsambardPrince | They'd be reaping a return of over 12% annually which is better than the S&P 500 with reinvested dividends. | Feb 24 23:23 |
| IsambardPrince | You would never do that today in real estate, but the myth that you will sort of remains. Homeowners have delisted over 67% of listings hoping for better days that will not come. They're stuck with it because they didn't cash out 3 years ago. | Feb 24 23:24 |
| IsambardPrince | I expect prices on homes will eventually collapse at this rate. | Feb 24 23:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody really has the money to buy one. | Feb 24 23:25 |
| IsambardPrince | So many will either live in it or accept a realized loss. | Feb 24 23:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Homes are a shitty investment right now. The market is an investment, and renting is 40% cheaper giving you more money to invest. | Feb 24 23:26 |
| IsambardPrince | The bank said it was selling its mortgage division because there was no longer a way to make money off of it. | Feb 24 23:27 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, Major news. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/microsoft-reportedly-cancels-some-data-center-leases-amid-80-billion-ai-push-172949483.html | Feb 24 23:28 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-finance.yahoo.com | Microsoft reportedly cancels some data center leases amid $80 billion AI push | Feb 24 23:28 | |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft. | Feb 24 23:28 |
| IsambardPrince | AI bubble starting to implode. | Feb 24 23:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Incompetent fiscal policies from the Trump Administration are starting to work their magic. | Feb 24 23:29 |
| IsambardPrince | No room to hide in high tide. | Feb 24 23:29 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I suppose I'll just start getting us new eyeglasses every two years and vision exams every year. The vision insurance pays a lot for the glasses each year but still leaves me on the hook for $280 or so for a decent pair. | Feb 24 23:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Have to find expenses to cut. | Feb 24 23:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Cost of living exceeds raises, yet again. | Feb 24 23:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Worse to come I suppose. | Feb 24 23:44 |
