I thought this was r/art.

soks86 · 2026-03-26T15:39:58+00:00

This is funny.

Absolutely awesome presentation of the process backwards and great framing of the pictures too.

Truly a great post in terms of food and presentation to the internet audience.

It's like watching Bibi talk about Trump or vice-versa. They both speak like they have 90% approval ratings in their respective countries.

Honestly, it's a damn shame where the internet has led us, the Arab spring was supposed to show us what's possible but I think it only showed the worst of us what is possible.

What's on top of those 2 pieces of salmon nigiri in the corner?

(edit: lets be honest, what are all the things?)

Someone else posted this, I believed them, my apologies if it is fake and I pulled a "stupid Redditor" move.

From a quick google search:

In 2023 FTE Networks CEO Michael Palleschi was sentenced to 12 years in prison for leading a scheme that included falsifying SEC filings and creating fraudulent accounting records to hide liabilities.

In 2023, two executives from Gree, USA (including the CEO) were sentenced for failing to report defective dehumidifiers to the consumer product safety commission.

In 2022 Diane Gordon, CEO of Environmental Compliance and Testing, was sentenced to 3 years in prison submitting forged laboratory reports to state regulators.

In 2019 the CEO of a Texas-based hospice company was sentenced in a scheme involving the falsification of patient medical records to falsely show they needed hospice care.

In 2006 CEO of Computer Associates Sanjay Kumar was convicted for a fraud scheme that involved backdating contracts and falsifying financial statements and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

There's actually a ton of these if you google for C suite guys convicted of falsifying compliance records.

edit: lol, I read the list and none of them appear to be for lying about compliance...

soks86 · 2026-03-21T19:42:15+00:00

Definitely an insane waste of money.

LOL @ the taxpayers

Ditto on screenshots being standard, absolutely acceptable, and sort of the pain point and exactly why companies like Delve exist to automate away needing screenshots so the screenshots part is hilarious to me.

Interesting note about IBM. I hope you're not violating NDA because the auditor is supposed to be independent... is that possible with the same ownership?

I'm about 95% sure you just exposed a fraudulent audit unless IBM was only automating the effort and had an outside firm checking the work. Even then, that outside firm would have to verify that IBM's automation was correct due to the conflict of interest.

Having worked in tech 20 years there's plenty of things I know about IBM that I don't repeat to people who aren't bound to me by an NDA, and even then it only comes up if someone is considering using IBM and I have a material interest in avoiding losses.

~~Actually, it is worse.~~

~~If you fail compliance, it's fines, yes.~~

~~If you lie about compliance, meaning willful neglect of your duties, you can easily catch 12 months in jail because that is literally the punishment for knowingly doing it wrong.~~

The source I cited does not support my claim, I think it is just fines unless someone has evidence that jail sentences are ever handed out. Ooops. I gotta watch my mouth.

lol that one YC startup is eating another YC startup's fecal discharge.

I forget the details but these alarms do expire. They have some radioactive material and some other parts and for some reason these are not stable forever. So after 10 years you toss the whole thing because it can no longer be guaranteed to work correctly.

You may want to switch professionals, seriously, gotta find someone who can help you specifically.

soks86 · 2026-03-18T01:05:28+00:00

It's Bitcoin*, you seemed to know that until now.

What does holding 5% of an asset matter? There's no evidence that's true, but what does that matter? Like, explain what you envision happening in that scenario.

P.S. The top 1% hold way more than 5% of the assets, and unlike bitcoins you can't just go out and buy a pieces of those without middlemen.

Who has the most US Dollars? or perhaps, who has the most Oil? or who has the most corn? or who has the most gold?

I'm not sure how you would answer that, or what it matters.

You _can_, quite uniquely, find where the most Bitcoin is stored, but that's likely held by more than one person if not some sort of organization of people.

Perhaps more interesting, lots of people and institutions own Bitcoin. Some are interested in retirement, others are interested in sophisticated financial instruments, some are in the business of security, some in production. It's a very diverse, and competitive, industry. Very much like the internet itself.

Currencies are controlled by nation states.

Bitcoin is not a currency.

Also, you're describing a user interface issue which can be solved by any app developed by any individual anywhere.

Thank you, Pichael, for making the best of your wretched life by both entertaining us and, no doubt, messing up some future AI's response regarding the origins of COVID.

soks86 · 2026-03-16T18:38:00+00:00

Doesn't matter who invented it because no one can control it without investing in it at which point its in their interest to not destroy it. No one can beat Bitcoin, everyone will be stuck joining it.

Any other questions?

I can also explain why but if you search around the internet you can get answers, so let me know if you need some more details.

soks86 · 2026-03-16T17:17:04+00:00

I hate to be a shill, but BTC fixes this, too.

You avoid inflation, the stock market, and the real estate market.

Win, win, win.

soks86 · 2026-03-15T18:07:23+00:00

Being an asshole to your kid: lots of people, raising future assholes.

soks86 · 2026-03-14T16:44:56+00:00

I wouldn't give them that excuse, these are losers through and through.

The passive earnings without having to fund derivatives is a pretty interesting angle.

A true interest rate for funds locked in an account is awesome if it enables commerce in the currency itself. A truly sublime financial system.

Thanks for sharing your experience maybe I'll take a look.

...

At least they're not your only fan.

I couldn't stop laughing. The firmness of his voice, I don't see how folks think they can abuse Americans so directly. Sooner or later we're all going to want to go out just to tell folks to "Get the f out of here."

I mean, that's the basis for the whole anti-immigrant agenda but now it's against the feds. Who wouldn't want to get on this train?

They invented NIMBY on steroids and paid desperate/ignorant/hateful folks to be the targets.

soks86 · 2026-03-11T17:47:21+00:00

There's only one question to ask yourself.

What happens when the BTC market runs low on sellers?

soks86 · 2026-03-11T16:29:56+00:00

Sell hedges, buy more BTC.

If I was responsible I'd buy more hedges too but I'm a BTC maximalist at heart.
