The federal reserve is not, and has never been, apolitical.

Something tells me you run a much tighter ship than the federal government... They are absolutely saving more than $200 a month by closing an office... 2.5k seems completely reasonable and that's just if the only saving are from reduction of operational expense.
But I guess we'll never know. I completely understand why you can't share it, but wish you could. Super curious now

2025-04-12 15:56:23

Where the hell is this where you think $200 a month is probable?! (Rhetorical not asking you to dox)

2025-04-12 15:49:53

- reply

Something tells me you've never leased office space... Easily 1k-5k of operational costs for even a small space that would be largely avoidable if held vacant. *Especially* for something like a public office. Hell just the insurance savings could be over $200 a month

2025-04-12 15:43:46

- reply

"Savings" means something very specific for both the contractual context and the accounting context. It's not as simple as "money saved"

2025-04-12 15:37:14

- reply

You don't think keeping an office vacant for 2 years could save 60k?

2025-04-12 15:31:13

- reply

Most of these contracts are between the government and private entities. It would *certainly* be possible to find contracts where the private entity disputes the numbers. I am totally sure there are mistakes, but if it was a grand conspiracy of fake contracts and marketing, it would be trivial to gather all sorts of examples. Also why wouldn't they claim larger savings?

If you respond to someone's point with a counterpoint, it's generally understood that you are responding to them, engaging in something we call a "conversation". In such a conversation, also known as a "debate", assertions are likely to be tested and/or questioned by the other party. It's generally understood to be frustrating when each assertion made is followed with a "I can't prove this", "it's my opinion", or "I'm not debating".

2025-04-12 14:55:27

- reply

You're giving a very specific anecdote as proof Doge is a lie. Doge.gov has actual receipts for every single action they've recommended that the pertinent agency has followed through on. I'm saying if you have an example of a lie, link to those receipts so we can see for ourselves. You know, "don't trust, verify"

It is a super interesting take. For me it falls flat because people found non-monetary use cases for Bitcoin. Even if those use cases are uneconomical and silly, they do exist. Just like if gold became so insanely expensive that nobody used it industrially anymore, would Gold become Fiat? In my mind the monetary role of Gold and Bitcoin are equally man made, as are their utility in non-monetary forms. All fun to think about regardless

100% the key advantage is non-reliance on monopoly privilege. But I'd argue Bitcoin *is* commodity money.

Here’s a concise summary of each of the 18 points from "How Complex Systems Fail" by Richard I. Cook, as presented on https://how.complexsystems.fail/:
1. **Complex systems are intrinsically hazardous systems**: Complex systems (e.g., power grids, hospitals) inherently pose risks due to their scale and interactions, unlike simpler systems like bicycles.
2. **Complex systems are heavily and successfully defended against failure**: Multiple layers of defense—technology, procedures, and human oversight—make catastrophic failures rare.
3. **Catastrophe requires multiple failures – single point failures are not enough**: A disaster occurs only when several faults align, as single failures are usually mitigated by system redundancies.
4. **Complex systems contain changing mixtures of failures latent within them**: Hidden flaws persist in components and processes, evolving as the system operates.
5. **Complex systems run in degraded mode**: Systems often function despite ongoing minor failures, relying on built-in resilience.
6. **Catastrophe is always just around the corner**: The potential for sudden, major failure is constant due to the systems' complexity and latent issues.
7. **Post-accident attribution to a ‘root cause’ is fundamentally wrong**: Failures result from multiple interacting factors, not a single cause, though society prefers simple explanations.
8. **Hindsight biases post-accident assessments of human performance**: After a failure, actions seem obviously wrong, but they were reasonable decisions given the uncertainty at the time.
9. **Human operators have dual roles: as producers and as defenders against failure**: Operators both drive the system’s output and actively prevent its collapse.
10. **All practitioner actions are gambles**: Every decision carries risk, with outcomes only clear in retrospect, not when made.
11. **Actions at the sharp end resolve all ambiguity**: Frontline operators’ real-time choices clarify how the system actually behaves under pressure.
12. **Human practitioners are the adaptable element of complex systems**: People adjust to flaws and changes, keeping systems functional despite imperfections.
13. **Human expertise in complex systems is constantly changing**: Skills evolve as systems and conditions shift, requiring continuous learning.
14. **Change introduces new forms of failure**: Modifications to systems (e.g., upgrades) can create unexpected vulnerabilities.
15. **Views of ‘cause’ limit the effectiveness of defenses against future failure**: Focusing on specific causes overlooks broader systemic weaknesses, hindering prevention.
16. **Safety is an emergent property of systems**: It arises from the interplay of all components, not from any single part or safeguard.
17. **People continuously create safety**: Operators’ ongoing adjustments and vigilance maintain safety in dynamic, flawed systems.
18. **Failure free operations require experience with failure**: Understanding and managing failure firsthand is essential to prevent it, as theoretical perfection is unattainable.
These points collectively emphasize that failure in complex systems is inevitable, multifaceted, and managed through adaptability rather than eradicated entirely.

is there any form of protest that you believe *would* justify the revocation of a green card or student visa? There must be some line, right? Honest question.

2025-03-12 17:51:22

- reply

Under U.S. immigration law, a green card can be revoked if the holder is found to have engaged in activities that threaten national security, support terrorism, or violate the terms of their residency. Similarly, a student visa can be canceled for criminal behavior or overstaying its purpose. The government’s case likely hinges on Section 212(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which bars individuals who have engaged in terrorist activities or are affiliated with terrorist organizations, broadly defined to include ideological support or incitement.

1. The Order creates a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve that will treat bitcoin as a reserve asset.
2. The United States **will not sell bitcoin** deposited into this Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which will be maintained as **a store of reserve assets.**
3. The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies **for acquiring additional bitcoin**
4. It also established a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin owned by the Department of Treasury that was forfeited in criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings.
5. **The government will not acquire additional assets for the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile** beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.
6. The Secretary of the Treasury may determine strategies for responsible stewardship, **including potential sales from the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile.**

honest question, not snark 😀 do you know of a government that leaned towards bohemeth for any significant amount of time without fiat?
I can think of some examples that I would consider fleating like wartime or external plunder/colonization. But I can't really think of an empire that didn't maintained power outside of those temporary(?) scenarios that didn't rely on fiat debasement... I suppose even fiat has always been temporary... might be arguing myself in circles ha
