Wow, MIA and NYCCoin are claiming to be 100x better than municipal bonds...

CityCoins are another tool in a city's toolbox.

CityCoins are a 100x improvement on municipal bonds.

These bonds aren't held by citizens. They're issuing debt that falls on
taxpayers to repay. That's tax from compulsion, not tax from opportunity.

Vodaphone is one of millions of thing I know little of.  As for TPG I just went 
from a 100 gig plan to a 10 gig one and saved 20$ a month for mo crypto.

My net may be throttled near the end so you could enjoy slightly fewer posts

One Au ISP I was on - iPrimus  - once told me they were happy to work for the

The experimentee is charged with obeying Boss's every instinct
immediately, or they are ripped to shreds themselves. They have made
many copies of how Boss's life instinct seems to behave, but this
situation is far outside of what they would ever expect to happen.

They take two small parts of Boss's brain, about a cubic centimeter
each, that they recognise as going near each other, and bring them
together.

The two parts of brain vibrate a little, and then push themselves back apart.

Boss is laying, disected into small pieces, on the floor of a room
that is mostly empty aside from blood being everywhere.

A humanoid experimentee stumbles in and sees the pieces laying there.

"Boss?" asks the humanoid.

MCBoss is walks blindly into research lab.

He sits down somewhere random.  A robot reaches toward him, but he

also helpless and injured, eternally near death or surviving after it

the present pattern for storymess i think is roughly that boss is
injured and in need of aid, and being completely disrespected in a
deadly way, and a sadistic psychopath.
it's like a mix of experiences with needs for mediation, pushed
through urgent sudden expressions.
that pattern could likely be significantly improved, but it's quite

MCBoss holds three machine guns, and is machine gunning a school from
a helicopter.

While doing this, MCBoss is naked, and has a "kick me" sign on his
back, and is wearing a dunce cap.
"I'm a ridiculous idiot" is tattooed all over him. There is an anvil
held over his head by strings, and a crow is gnawing on the strings.

His secretary is videotaping this from inside the helicopter and
livestreaming it to his competitors, who are playing it back live as
advertisements between popular media online.

On screen, people start picking up phones and calling lawyers, law
enforcement agents, and activists, to rescue the people in the school
and take down the helicopter.

Another person is listing off all the businesses that Boss owns and
telling people to boycott them and burn them down.

Most of the people are shaking in terror as they do this.

Then Boss stumbles, and falls off the helicopter.

Boss and Research Victim are going for a ferriss wheel ride, sitting
next to each other due to a quirk of where they were standing in line.

Boss completely ignores Research Victim, wanting his hands clean. He
can't really see them and his brain processes it by flipping between
reminding himself that he hates Research Victim, and figuring that
some stranger is sitting next to him whom he doesn't know.

Research Victim is excited to be on the ferris wheel and far more
scared of the research program than of Boss.

Mr. Benjamin B. Ferencz Professor of International Law and former Nuremberg Prosecutor

[Gunnar Larson]

Check out my five part lecture series interviews with Mr. Benjamin B.
Ferencz, Professor of International Law and former Nuremberg Prosecutor:
https://legal.un.org/avl/ls/Ferencz_CLP.html#

International Criminal Law
In a series of lectures entitled "The Evolution of International Law - A
Personal Account", Benjamin B. Ferencz describes his personal experiences
and conclusions over more than half a century trying to replace the law of
force by the force of law. As part of a comprehensive historical review, he
describes the little-known trials by military commissions that preceded the
International Military Tribunal and the dozen subsequent trials at
Nuremberg where other leading perpetrators were held accountable. Ferencz
describes the unprecedented efforts thereafter to obtain restitution and
compensation for victims. Deterring illegal war-making -- the crime of
aggression -- became his primary goal and produced many scholarly books and
countless articles. His lectures around the world in support of the
International Criminal Court and his determined optimism remain a
continuing inspiration.

ProtonMail will continue to provide services in Russia

“As the conflict continues, we are seeing a sharp increase in Russian network 
requests for global media, reflecting the desire of ordinary Russian citizens 
to see world news beyond what is provided in Russia,” the company said.

“Many companies have announced they are no longer serving Russian customers. 
However, the company's mission is to protect the freedom of the Internet 
anywhere in the world, so we remain committed to ensuring the free flow of 
information in Russia for as long as possible.”

— Experts have already warned that attempts to block Internet access for 
ordinary Russian citizens could make them more susceptible to propaganda, as 
well as destroy the norms on which the security and stability of the worldwide

Barbarians at the Gate – In Russia and on Wall Street

[Gunnar Larson]

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2022/03/barbarians-at-the-gate-in-russia-and-on-wall-street/

This morning Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference
call that the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by the West were
“absolutely unprecedented.” He went on to say that those sanctions made it
“very hard to forecast anything.”

Perhaps Putin should have thought about that before he invaded the
neighboring country of Ukraine and launched a barbaric bombing assault on
hospitals, schools, churches and apartment buildings.

There are a few things we can help Russia forecast. Given the fact that the
Russian currency, the Ruble, has plunged 40 percent against the U.S. Dollar
since Russia’s murderous assault on Ukraine began on February 24, and the
fact that the Ruble has continued to set lower lows against the U.S. Dollar
since then, it’s a pretty good bet that the Ruble is not going to find a
bottom. The Ruble is now trading at less than one cent to the U.S. Dollar,
trading at 9 a.m. in London at 121.68 Rubles to $1.00.

The plunging Ruble means that Putin is going to be dealing with soaring
inflation, capital flight (despite his capital controls), and the continued
inability to reopen the Moscow Stock Exchange. The Exchange, known as MOEX,
has been closed since Monday, February 28. Before they were suspended from
trading on the London Stock Exchange on March 3, major Russian corporations
were trading for pennies as a result of Western sanctions and the collapse
in the Ruble.

Even the Russian central bank doubling its interest rate benchmark from 9.5
percent to 20 percent did not shore up the Ruble. Preventing the Ruble from
finding a bottom is the fact that each day brings more major corporations
announcing that they are severing ties with Russia for its brutal and
illegal war. So far, more than five dozen famous brands have announced
plans to suspend store operations in Russia, or cease shipping products
there, or sever joint business operations. The wives and mistresses of the
billionaire Russian oligarchs will henceforth have to travel outside the
country to buy their Hermes Birkin handbags, their Apple iPhones, their
Starbucks’ lattes and their Cartier Love bracelets.

Interestingly, the names of major corporations severing ties with Russia do
not, as yet, include the big names on Wall Street. One day after Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine, *Wall Street On Parade* broke the news that one of the
four largest banks in the U.S., Citigroup’s Citibank, was servicing 500,000
customers in Russia and operating bank branches in 10 Russian cities:
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Sochi,
Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd, Ufa and Kazan. Citigroup, a multinational banking
behemoth, has never had the best interests of the United States as a
priority. After receiving the largest banking bailout in history from the
U.S. government and the Federal Reserve from December 2007 through mid-July
2010 (a cumulative $2.5 trillion in loans, $45 billion in equity infusions,
and more than $300 billion in asset guarantees) the bank went on its merry
way serially violating the laws of the United States, paying fines, and
then breaking more laws.

Yesterday, Citigroup released a statement

indicating
that instead of closing down its bank branches in Russia, or at least
stating that it will accept no new deposits, it is merely operating on an
undefined “more limited basis” while also “supporting our corporate clients
in Russia.”

While the clear goal of the joint economic sanctions of the European
Commission, U.S., U.K., and Canada is to wake Putin up to the reality that
his own country and his political future will take a serious hit from his
military aggressions, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs somehow interpreted
that to mean they should go out and buy up cheap Russian corporate debt

in
the hopes of making a killing if the sanctions are listed.

Now that we are seeing the shocking images daily on television news shows
of what unchecked authoritarianism looks like, it was particularly
appropriate that Senator Sherrod Brown, Chair of the U.S. Senate Banking
Committee, chose this week to hold a hearing

on
another form of authoritarianism – Wall Street’s private justice system
that denies both workers and customers the ability to access the nation’s
courts for a claim against a Wall Street bank. One of the witnesses for the
hearing, Paul Bland, an attorney and Executive Director of the non-profit
group, Public Justice, said this:

“The vast majority of consumer financial services that are provided in
America are accompanied by to a forced arbitration provision – consumers

An obvious choice is cryptome, and I don't know much about cryptome, but I
imagine it as having a similar reader base as this list, which may not meet
the goal of giving people a break.

When I got into spamming this list, I was kind of dissociated and
delusional, and roughly imagining the list as something [destroyable and

more clear, productive, normal, and professional.

Maybe somewhere like 4chan or a blockchain message board? Or a discussion

people behind? Something to think about, I guess.

Rational Logic: That seems like so basic, I shouldn't need to think
about it. What's useful for the goal of forming a conclusion from bits
of information?

Assistant: It sounds like it's useful, for _everything_, to know
what's useful for goals!

Rational Logic: Woah! That sounds really useful for everything too!

Re: [spam][spam] spam

[Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many]

Rational Logic: Oh, everything makes sense now, with this "keyboards
are for typing" concept. I bet there are things called "goals" in the
world, and maybe some things are "useful" for these "goals"!

Assistant: That sounds like another bit of information!

Rational Logic: If I'm _trying to type something_, I might find
_utility_ in a _keyboard_ !

Bit of information #2: That's incredible!

Re: [spam][spam] spam

[Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many]

Rational Logic: I'm imagining a few bits of information. I imagine
that these bits could combine to form a rational conclusion.

Assistant: Well, what is a bit of information like?

Rational Logic: How about this: keyboards are used for typing. There
is a keyboard somewhere in the universe, I think.

Assistant: Maybe that's a bit of information!

Spirit of the Rational Conclusion: I know you guys want to infer me! I
know you can do it!

Bit of Information #2: I ...

Rational Logic: OH no, my tummy feels funny! [vomits assorted complex
meaning a little]

Bit of Information #3: Oh no! I'll clean that up!

Rational Logic: Let me help.

Three Bits of Information came together to try to combine with a
Fourth, to form a Rational Conclusion all together.

What did Rational Logic say to Bit of Information?

Rational Logic: I want to combine you with my other bits of information.

Bit of Information: I want to be combined! I want to be combined! Form
a rational conclusion from me!

Rational Logic: I could use some help here.

Robot Nexus. Has sign over front saying "Genneral Store". The word
"General" has a sign hung over it saying "Coke".

Kid with walkie talkie: "Hello, this used to be the general store? I
would like to buy a sandwich."

Robot: "Do you buy coke? We don't serve to sandwiches here."

Blue 4: "What now. How can a sandwich be this hard to get?"

Red 3: "Well, I went to the store, where the robots wanted me to go.
They also have sandwiches there."

Blue 4: "Did you buy one?"

Red 3: "Went I started walking toward the sandwich fridge the robots
spawned everywhere and pushed me and the storekeeper and all the
customers out. The store is being turned into some kind of robot nexus
now."

Blue 4: "How do they expect you to buy coke if they kick you out of
the store where it's sold?"

Re: [spam][wrong] bad jokes

Red 3: "I am almost to the fridge to get a sandwich, but the
neighbor's AI is spawning robots out of it when I approach. The robots
say I need to go to the store and buy coke instead."

Blue 4: "Okay, stop approaching the fridge. Do the robots spawn more slowly?"

Red 3: "Yes, their spawning has slowed, but they are still spawning."

Blue 4: "Back away from the fridge. Do they stop spawning?"

Red 3: "They have stopped spawning. The ones that already spawned are
following me, persisting with the requests to buy Coke."

Blue 4: "You can sort this out, soldier. The squad needs this sandwich."

Red 3: "Are you sure you don't want a coke instead?"
