decimation asciilifeform: there's a great deal of bureaucracy surrounding employment in the us [04:29]
asciilifeform decimation: yes. [04:29]
decimation mainly because there is no free market for 'health insurance', retirement, etc. even if you opt out you still need to file paperwork [04:29]
decimation and of course usg needs to know about your employment situation [04:29]
asciilifeform decimation: manually computing the tax, alone, is almost a job. [04:30]
decimation not because they are nosy busybodies but because they just want properly calculated taxes, you see [04:30]
decimation I think most folks just wing it and adjust when the tax bill comes due [04:30]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10050 @ 0.00074499 = 7.4871 BTC [+] [04:30]
decimation it's amusing that usg taxes labor at usurious rates and then whines about how employment is so low [04:35]
asciilifeform decimation: donkey still moving, back not broken yet? put on more, more. [04:35]
* agorecki_ is now known as agorecki [04:35]
decimation more like cow still has blood, room for more gnats [04:36]
asciilifeform now in most cases, it's usg's money (sometimes one or two steps removed) in the first place. [04:36]
asciilifeform so why collect it back as tax? answer: give the 'patient' an opportunity to underpay, collect penalty. [04:37]
decimation asciilifeform is that why usg employee's income is not 'pretaxed'? [04:37]
asciilifeform one reason, yes. [04:38]
asciilifeform other reasons include - folks who play in the real-estate chumpatron get a good deal of tax break. [04:38]
asciilifeform since tax authorities operate as if they did not know automagically, in real time, who these are - no pre-tax [04:39]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 50607 @ 0.00074176 = 37.5382 BTC [-] [04:40]
asciilifeform i, for instance, in effect pay almost double tax for refusal to 'buy' houses. [04:40]
decimation my company hires an old woman to assemble circuit boards, we pay her as an independent contractor. apparently the state has been harassing the company because the state presumes that her 'independent contract' is really an employment contract [04:40]
[]bot Bet placed: 1.5 BTC for Yes on "Bitcoin to drop under $350 before November" http://bitbet.us/bet/1034/ Odds: 66(Y):34(N) by coin, 52(Y):48(N) by weight. Total bet: 70.44387257 BTC. Current weight: 16,925. [04:40]
decimation asciilifeform: these days the double tax isn't as bad because the mortgage interest rates are low [04:40]
decimation but I agree with your point [04:40]
decimation my point is that a real estate agent is considered an independent contractor even when she works in an office with a secretary [04:41]
decimation gov't asks no questions [04:41]
asciilifeform independent contractor << not something you really want to be, for tax purposes, in usa [04:42]
asciilifeform you get to pay extra 'self employment' tax rate. [04:42]
mod6 its horrid [04:42]
decimation yeah you must pay the employer's share of the 'social security payroll tax' [04:42]
decimation beyond the usurious rates, it is a double insult that usg insists that you participate in its crimes against honest accounting while paying 'tax' with your tax [04:44]
mircea_popescu yeah speaking of which, how's those posters things ? any bites from renters The20YearIRCloud ? [04:49]
mircea_popescu so why collect it back as tax? answer: give the 'patient' an opportunity to underpay, collect penalty. << more like, give patient something to do with his time. [04:53]

mircea_popescu decimation> my point is that a real estate agent is considered an independent contractor even when she works in an office with a secretary <<< there [04:54]
mircea_popescu s a secial extemption written in the law against people like it folks being independent. [04:54]
mircea_popescu guess who lobbied. [04:54]
decimation meanwhile there's a special exception written in the law that requires the irs to presume that engineers are not independent contractors [04:55]
mircea_popescu exactly. [04:55]
decimation for the same reason the law also allows the importation of indian & chinese indentured servants [04:55]

diametric asciilifeform: i disagree with your independent contractor bit on taxes. [04:58]
diametric asciilifeform: the amount of things I can now deduct has increased 10 fold. [04:58]
decimation diametric has a point [04:59]
diametric in fact, if I tried hard enough I think I could pay no taxes. [04:59]
dub should be gettin gpaid more than avg wage slave too [04:59]
mircea_popescu yeah, independent contractor is better if you can get it. [04:59]

diametric decimation: exactly. [04:59]
dub employee has benefits adn protection tho [05:00]
decimation although even the independent contractor can't buy a company car for commuting, because the irs says so [05:00]
mircea_popescu yeah, if you're a woman you can't sue yourself for having jacked off in your home office. [05:00]
diametric 56 cents per mile, all my tolls, my internet, my "home office", any equipment i buy for said home office, pretty much anything that has a realistic tie to me being a contractor is eligible. [05:00]
* hanbot has quit (Quit: Leaving) [05:00]
mircea_popescu so, independent contractor is better, if you're white, male and young. [05:00]

* diametric raises hand [05:00]
dub i get ~70c/km so I win [05:00]
mircea_popescu uh. [05:01]
mircea_popescu how come you get so little again ? [05:01]

mircea_popescu this when not using a shuttle service or w/e [05:03]
* hanbot (~hanbot@unaffiliated/hanbot) has joined #bitcoin-assets [05:03]
diametric asciilifeform: the other thing is deductions aren't tied specifically to the individual contract either. so all my r&d gets deducted too. [05:04]
* assbot gives voice to hanbot [05:04]
decimation there's no doubt that 'owning' a business is a good way to skate usg taxes [05:04]
diametric yeah. though if you pay the usg something instead of trying to null out the taxes, it goes a long way to avoiding troubles in the future, or so I heard from friends of mine that have been independent contractors for decades. [05:06]
decimation the rule of thumb is that you pay at least as much this year as the previous [05:06]
decimation that generally makes you fairly immune to serious harassment, at least in the opinion of some accountants I know [05:07]
diametric makes sense [05:07]
decimation but of course this kind of thing varies by case [05:07]
diametric also not being asian helps. [05:07]
decimation or selling real estate [05:07]
diametric its entirely anecdotal, but I know of more asians that have been audited than anyone else. [05:08]
decimation it's well known that greek & asians often operate cash businesses while staking tax [05:08]
decimation a friend told me that when he was three, his mom took her cash receipts from the family restaurant to the auditor, along with the screaming three year old. the auditor settled for $100 after a few hours of screaming [05:09]
diametric well played [05:10]
decimation "Donna Steele Flynn, a former member of the House Ways and Means Committee staff who is now a tax specialist with Ernst & Young, said, ''The only reason this hasn't gotten fixed is because the official Joint Tax Committee estimate in the past was that repeal of Section 1706 would cost a billion dollars in tax revenue over five years.''There is a political will on both sides of the aisle, but in terms of importance and number of [05:11]
decimation people, a billion dollars is a lot of money for a relatively small number of people.'"' [05:11]
decimation in other words we realize the we are thieves and will happily make unprincipled exceptions when we decide we can do so [05:12]
decimation in more other words, the 'political will' of a collection of elected lawyers with real estate side business all agree that they should not pay while others pay [05:12]
asciilifeform real estate 'market', pythonic strangler of all things alive. [05:15]

decimation I've been on it a couple times. it's luxurious to weave across 3 empty lanes [05:22]
mircea_popescu indeed. The other day I was trying to find an etf or stock that didn't depend on 'bezzle' (ie usg fiat finance). I didn't succeed. << this is roughly equivalent to, "the other day, i tried to find a natural process going backwards in entropy. i didn't succeed" [05:22]

mircea_popescu tax evasion is a 20 to 50 year game plan. [17:59]
mircea_popescu ye, about twice the lifespan of most governments [17:59]
kakobrekla heh [18:00]
mircea_popescu tax evasion is all about a)ensuring your own revenue from back in the day you generate revenue, your 20s and 30s, is available to you when you need it, ie your 60s and 70s and b) making sure the fortune you collected will reach the biologic offspring of your choice, rather than the offspring others would prefer. [18:01]
mircea_popescu both of these being, of course, quite reasonable goals. [18:01]
thickasthieves and the government's lifeline is preventing you from that [18:05]
mircea_popescu not necessarily, no. in fact, the government's lifeline is supporting that. [18:06]
mircea_popescu the socialist totalitarian state however, can't exist except by stealing from the producers to support the parasites. [18:06]
mircea_popescu if it manages to get a cycle going it can for a time overpower legitimate government. [18:06]
thickasthieves why is it that states can offer lotto tickets but gambling is illegal mostly? [18:07]
mircea_popescu that cycle depends on successfully misrepresenting itself as a legitimate government to the producers, and sufficiently empowering the parasites as to maintain it in power. [18:07]
mircea_popescu which is why other than the money supply, socialist totalitarian governments aim for a monopoly in communication and for a particular corrupt rendition of democracy. [18:07]

thickasthieves well you dont compare ballet to breakdancing do you? [18:21]
mircea_popescu i do, yes. [18:21]
mircea_popescu in that i require my ballet experts to breakdance. [18:21]
thickasthieves hrm [18:21]
thickasthieves youre diffusing me with weirdness [18:21]
mircea_popescu good exercise, what. breakdancing is a ballet sub. [18:22]
mircea_popescu and fwiw, most opera training includes some sca. [18:22]
thickasthieves but the best breakdancer couldnt ballet [18:22]
mircea_popescu scat* [18:22]
thickasthieves i could see how scat would be good training for certain qualities [18:23]
mircea_popescu well that depends. if he's actually good rather than just faking it well (by doing the moves he can do in succession so as to distract from the narrowness) [18:23]
mircea_popescu then he could prolly learn pretty fast. [18:23]
thickasthieves timing, mouth noise [18:23]
thickasthieves but the style of his music doesnt provide much opportunity for displaying it [18:24]
thickasthieves though i will say when he does try to sing it's pretty weak [18:24]
thickasthieves he goes for more of chant thing usually [18:24]

mircea_popescu that was scammy at the time but by now even the usg is doing it, so it seems to have been legalised ipso facto [19:05]
thickasthieves so with diff going down, is it time to scoop up mining contracts? [19:05]
mircea_popescu thickasthieves only with people who'll actually deliver. like say X-Rob here :p [19:06]
Dimsler neg [19:06]
mircea_popescu imagine this shit, the first time i actually buy a mining future contract, i actually get a great deal on it. [19:06]

Dimsler the bitcoin paradox [19:11]
mircea_popescu "Any undertaking carried out with Bitcoin (BTC) will begin immediately, though it may be up to 24 hours before it is reflected in your BTC-e account. BTC-e executes all account withdrawals right away or in 1-2 days." [19:11]
mircea_popescu lol "hey guise, we're mpex!1" [19:11]
mircea_popescu so then if you have a large stash of your own coin, why do you need to hedge on any website ?! [19:11]
Dimsler well wait a minute [19:12]
Dimsler why should i take on any form of exposure [19:12]
Dimsler when theres a service that does it for me on a nominal fee [19:12]
mircea_popescu inasmuch as you have a stash, you already took a form of exposure. [19:12]
mircea_popescu if you're looking to "pump to sell your own coins", the moment you found a buyer you sell and that';s it. [19:13]

mircea_popescu he proceeded from basic principle. and he, and a lot of other people, couldn't give less of a shit as to what the ultimate implications are. [19:27]
Dimsler bless satoshi [19:27]
mircea_popescu it's not that. i don't care about the man's memory or anything. im trying to explain a fundamental difference in approach. [19:28]
thickasthieves my main problem with arguments is when they proclaim ideals or extremes are achievable for more than a moment [19:28]
Dimsler mircea_popescu, the ultimate implications are going to stifle any form of adoption [19:28]

mircea_popescu see, you're trapped in this particular worldview, which falsely promises you somewthing. [19:28]
Dimsler because history derp [19:29]
Dimsler quantitive money theory fails on any systems its been tried on [19:29]
mircea_popescu the way this promise goes is, "if you limit yourself to purpose-theory, you will have privileged access to ultimate effect" [19:29]
mircea_popescu this is false. you have no better access than the students of cause-theory, for very good thermodynamic reasons. [19:29]
mircea_popescu it's just that THEY do get to control your priors. you do not, [19:29]
mircea_popescu instead your priors are controled by the authors of your favourite purpose-theory. [19:29]
mircea_popescu which is why you imagine satoshi to be a rothbard tool. [19:30]
mircea_popescu because if he had been working in a purpose-theory approach, he would have been. [19:30]
mircea_popescu but then again, the proposition that he was is easily falsifiable. [19:30]
Dimsler listen don't spin me the arguement here with preppy 101 vocubulary and euphamisms [19:30]
mircea_popescu that would... ALSO be a new one. [19:30]
TheNewDeal just curious - is it a common practice in any part of the world to brew coffee with snuff? [19:32]
mircea_popescu but as a total aside : the quality of your arguments exceeds the quality of your expression, significantly. that means you're smarter than you're read, which is unfortunate. you definitely should read up on and master all that "preppy 101 vocabulary", it's not the waste of time inept pseudo-teachers and pretend-authorities have made it seem.

mircea_popescu some it or other. [23:28]
mircea_popescu jurov what'd gtk_pinentry do ? [23:29]
jurov if you ever used gpg under X [23:29]
jurov it pops up and monopolizes keyboard [23:29]
mircea_popescu does it actually ? [23:29]
jurov let me try [23:30]
* mircea_popescu at edge of seat. [23:30]
* asciilifeform doesn't like dedicated 'user is entering passwords' api gizmos - demarcated target. [23:31]
* cardigm has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [23:31]
* ninjashogun (~User@unaffiliated/ninjashogun) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:31]
jurov only a quickie with xev [23:31]
jurov when pinentry was active, i was unable to get kbd events into xev [23:32]
* cardigm (~Cardigm@gateway/tor-sasl/cardigm) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:32]
* BigBitz (~BigBitz@unaffiliated/bigbitz) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:32]
jurov not that proves anything, just a concet how it works [23:32]
mircea_popescu that's something. [23:32]
mircea_popescu http://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/ < btw. [23:32]
assbot Keypress: A Javascript library for capturing input [23:32]
mircea_popescu course i have nfi why xorg was made so windowsy in the first place. [23:32]
jurov what do you mean? [23:33]
jurov xorg is quite far from windowsy [23:33]
jurov just the toolkits are [23:34]
jurov and if you mean security, well...1980s [23:34]
mircea_popescu specifically the kbd issue [23:34]
assbot ninjashogun +v failed; L1: 0, L2: -4 [23:35]
kakobrekla !up ninjashogun i do what iwant [23:35]
* assbot gives voice to ninjashogun [23:35]
asciilifeform masochism-lol [23:36]
jurov hi ninjashogun, our resident security expert [23:36]
jurov so what do you think about this xorg problem? [23:36]
ninjashogun Thanks. Does someone who has gribble with the proper distance want to trust me to whatever extent is required for an up. Ascii has complained about the volume of contribution, so I will keep it down. (obvoiusly you can remove this rating if you find I'm abusive.) [23:36]
ninjashogun jurov, hi. I'm actually a startup founder, not a security expert per se (besides a good theoretical understanding and some practical reading same as avialable to everyone here.) Not an xorg expert! [23:37]
thickasthieves i doubt anyone here wants you roaming freely [23:37]
The20YearIRCloud i hate having all this BTC sitting and not being cashed out [23:37]
kakobrekla delete the wallet [23:37]
The20YearIRCloud we've lost something like $75k-$100k over the past year and a half due to volatility and the inability to cash out our deposits quickly [23:37]
thickasthieves well a little late to cash out probly [23:38]
jurov The20YearIRCloud, do it rapeghost way: pay dividends [23:38]
The20YearIRCloud rapeghost? [23:38]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform can i have original of that video ? [23:38]
jurov alias rg.. prolly before your time [23:38]
mircea_popescu i intend to gif-ify it to test the saffron chick's thing. [23:38]
mircea_popescu dude this guy again ? [23:38]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 1sec [23:39]
ninjashogun Incidentally if it is on-topic here I am curious about the opinion of people here about 1) cause of BTC price depression 2) whether BTC price will rebound. Where will the buy pressure come from, given that there are other crypto currencies as well? [23:39]
asciilifeform !s waterfall [23:39]

xanthyos hi [23:39]
thickasthieves ninjashogun, I will allow the price to start going up again tomorrow [23:39]

xanthyos my psychic premonition about 360 $/btc being the absolute glass floor were not true [23:40]
The20YearIRCloud excuse for what? [23:40]
kakobrekla for vaporizing 100k [23:40]
The20YearIRCloud I just hate the equity loss being that bad [23:40]
thickasthieves then why did you take the risk [23:41]
The20YearIRCloud guess i don't understand how a large-ish business that takes BTC and runs into the asme cashout problems as us could operate with it [23:41]
ninjashogun What I mean is that long-term, if BTC held a monopoly on crypto currency my price target would be $300K per bitcoin. (Simply because that is required for the amount of crypto currency the world has a money supply demand.) But the problem is that other crypto currencies can meet some of this demand. So, is that some of the reason for the decline? If it is, what will cause the rebound? [23:41]
xanthyos "Risk is our business." (James Tiberius Kirk) [23:41]
mircea_popescu dude stop positing idiocy. [23:41]
mircea_popescu no "other cryptocurrencies" exist. [23:41]
jurov how did you calculate the demand? [23:41]
The20YearIRCloud There's 1000 other cryptos out there ninjashogun [23:41]
mircea_popescu no such can ever exist, no such will ever exist. no such has met any demand, nor could, nor wil. [23:41]
ninjashogun mircea_popescu, "no other cryptocurrencies exist", um? [23:41]
mircea_popescu no um. [23:42]

kakobrekla hey my buttcoin poster sez buttcoin is game [23:42]
mircea_popescu and you do not have understanding, theoretical or otherwise, on any topic, and specifically no good such understanding. [23:42]
mircea_popescu now that we're settled on most of these topics, did you have anything meaningful to say ? [23:43]
ninjashogun mircea_popescu, Oh, uh (wink) right. You are right that there are no other crypto currencies besides btc, I will grant this to you. It is ridiculous to assume any other crypto currency can ever come into existence. [23:43]
mircea_popescu goof. [23:43]
jurov aww y'all are so demeaning to these serious altbusinesses [23:43]
mircea_popescu !down ninjashogun [23:43]
* assbot removes voice from ninjashogun [23:43]
mircea_popescu good*. [23:43]

kakobrekla imm prolly usg covert [23:44]
The20YearIRCloud how do you calculate coin demand jurov [23:44]
mircea_popescu no dude, doge is "covering some of that demand" [23:44]
xanthyos crypto* [23:44]
mircea_popescu because a buncha fuctarded kids derping are "the demand" now [23:44]
thickasthieves <+The20YearIRCloud> how do you calculate coin demand jurov /// price [23:44]
jurov no i wanted to know his calcualtion [23:45]
The20YearIRCloud ah [23:45]
jurov required for the amount of crypto currency the world has a money supply demand [23:45]
mircea_popescu $rand [23:45]
The20YearIRCloud So it's assumed there's a 100% adpotion rate [23:46]
mircea_popescu contorted fucking reasoning, such as, "mp said once that the endgame for bitcoin is this. now, let's maintain that figure but pretend like mp wasn't talking about btc, but about geese. so then a goose should be 300k usd per, and since it's not, clearly iron nails are taking up some of that market" [23:46]
mircea_popescu "so give me 50k and i might buy iron nails which might be worth more in the future" [23:47]
mircea_popescu let's call it... "a facultative idea" or whatever the fuck it was. [23:47]
