Art is about smuggling wealth. Influence on pricing, is about cashing out.

Tomorrow if sotheby's put a giant turd on sale and declares it worth millions, people looking to launder will buy it, knowing that when they need to cash out, sotheby's will come to the rescue.

Wake up.

... and when the crimes are "victimless" i.e. fail to uphold basic criminal code principles requiring an actual particularizeable harm?

What then?

How about all the false arrests? False convictions?

People bludgeoned into pleaing guilty to avoid ridiculous overcharging and sham courts? What about them?

What happens when we fully implement chinese-style "social credit"? Thought-crimes?

Your media is already heavily manipulated. If you think it isn't, you're an idiot.

You won't. This is a common failing in tech in SFBAY. They posted some stats on it, but its prevalence is very very high. Same with the PHD's (who also suffer from it).

But, you'll probably find someway to cope with it.

I thought this is what the process of extended "onboarding"/mentoring they kept babbling about was supposed to address?

Porn made the Internet. Cryptocurrency Pump N Dumps made the Blockchain. Personality-hacking/collusion made AI.

Whats the next "big" thing?

Why?

What actual benefits did you receive?

all of the above.

#1 - Drugs aren't scheduled. #2 - They're usually dropshipped out of China.

... might be "Brigham's tea". Or as you know it, "mahuang".

You know what that is? If you don't, you might look up the legal casework, before you start damning Orrin Hatch.

He did, what he was supposed to. Preserve the rights of his constituents. And yes, "Brigham's tea" is specific to Utah.

sure you can.

its being done, daily.

and the FDA doesn't work the way you think it does; they are the rubberstamp for massive testing on the populace. Look up the scandal with fake sugars during the 1980's.

... by making sure you could get access to supplements without some bureacrat unilaterally decide, "no.".

...and the FDA does regulate dietary supplements.

doesn't work when your company looks at your salary/paychecks.

yes, they've been collecting this since the 70's/80's.

What you are complaining about, is that you are being taught:

a) a system of mathematics. b) the wrong one. c) in an extremely disconnected fashion.

I have a particular gift for mathematics. But it drove me nuts trying to go through a Western curriculum. Often, everything was backward, over-simplified to the point of stupidity, or just straight....

dwell is a technical term from production lines ;) it means you adjust the speed at which your conveyer runs, to offer more time under a particular process (implemented along the line). typically heating.

Google, like Amazon, and Apple, have jumped the shark.

Facebook, is the shark. ;)

we never left the recession. ignore that twaddle about the "jobless recovery".

point is, they had a depression II slated. so they did what any cunt would; they punted.

could have been 8-9 years of pain; ex-rich people throwing themselves out of windows.

instead, they screwd the next four generations.

it only looked like a recovery, because it stopped collapsing for a brief period. reality they've screwed the entire country for decades.

all this nonsense about growth? is what happens when you reinflate the bubble with QE. classic keynesian garbage.

I spoke to your premise, taken out, ad infinitum.

its not a criticism; merely a remark - there is a point where that observation, hits a limit.

> they have become like animals with unlimited money, but money ended quickly though.

yup. pretty typical. takes a lot of mental discipline, to handle a serious wad of cash.

cheers.

good luck with that one. check out the "postal wiretap"; don't think the government decided to build a "national" communications network for the fuck of it.

they wanted to tap the comms.

same with the telegraph.

and every other means of comms.

You need to read up on the price-fixing by amazon. google "1200 dollar book".

then look up some of the academic research on it.

you could always claim duress is the reason why you didn't sign your name.

there is a trick under UCC, which is technical, but totally enforceable in court that does something similar.

no, I'm not going to mention it.

I can vouch for natural caffeine, getting you high. I used to pack some of the energy drink ingredients, and there was definitely a point where it was psycho-active.

technically, cocaine isn't addictive at low dosages. i.e. coca leaf tea, provides you all of the same stimulant as a cup of coffee... without the crash or the addition.

Read that again: you can drink coca leaf tea, and NOT suffer the effects of caffeine addiction.

Peruvian neighborhoods usually have it buried somewhere in their bodegas.

What I find funny, is that you think some crappy algorithm, can beat the real neural network, your mind ;)

You convert a fixed problem ('locate search terms that have a high correlation to what I am searching for') to a fuzzy problem of "how can I guess what this person is searching for, based on a sequence of search terms, where I manipulate the results, thereby gauranteeing that the search sequence is poisoned by what I presume they are searching for').

Oddly enough, the latter, is how you get high dwell on a search engine (COUGH COUGH).

as soon as I started using duckduckgo - bang, back to 1 minute searches as I just altered my search terms and actually got back, what I wanted.

Clearly you have not seen lotto winners. Or wall street people:) Or the really wealthy. ;)

What your talking about, is upper-middle, lower-high.

Eventually if you make enough cash, you will hit that limit. Sort of the whole "ball-washer" bit by Lewis Black.

You didn't mention it in your budget; presumably therefore, she has none.

You did mention health insurance, however.

make more. eventually, you hit a wall where you have to move to buy overpriced shit, that fits your new "salary".

What do you think a billionaire does with his money? How much shit can you buy before you simply, run out of shit to buy?

I also tutor/educate. I've fixed people in 1 week, what the education system couldn't accomplish in x years.

I just reach in, and remove the blocks. Once they get it, they are never the same again.

True story, somebody came up to me, who was having severe difficulty. They were studying for their GED (700+ hours in) and couldn't crack it. He asked for my help and I told him I was busy at the moment, but that I could give him 30 minutes in a couple of days - but that I would be happy to talk to him right now for 5-10 minutes. So I basically grilled him for a couple of minutes, then gave him a complete dump on what he needed to do in a highly-abbreviated manner. About a week later, I see him and tell him I'm free to sit with him again if he likes, to which he replies "No, thats not necessary - I passed. I followed your advice." :)

I get people calling me up after decades (for whom I only sat with for 1-3 hours) telling me about how much I changed their lives.

...

I also do "IQ" raising. Just being around me gives you about a 10-12 point jump. The longer the period, the more permanent the results. Takes about a couple of weeks to kick in. Takes about about 1-2 years for full raise (permanent, for life).

And shit, if you give me somebody smart-smart whose open & ethical? :) Like gas, on a fire.

My only real constraints are:

a) I don't put out anything dual-use. b) I don't hack people for harm or personal gain. c) I don't enable crimes, criminals, or unethical people.

you're missing the obvious methods, used by the wealthy. and it has the single hallmark, of being the preferred methods - as it is propped by other rich people, also evading taxes.

;)

cryptocurrency, is about the pump-and-dump.

You would be in error. Severe, error.

But I'm not going to list a howto ;)

now picture tomorrow her condo floods and the car gets t-boned.

Whats that do to her budget?

I made this very same point ;) they burned me at the stake.

One of the reasons I passed on the 2000's was the only things founded were quite destructive to society as a whole. Only to be eclipsed by the 2010's (which are objectively, much much worse).

I come back to it now, and the culture, is complete crap, and to be blunt, delusional.
