00:26 schestowitz[TR2]; they have no cr"apps"
00:26 DaemonFC; Yes, I pointed this out.
00:26 DaemonFC; I pointed out that El Famous Burrito is a block down from Taco Bell, and has a full kitchen and front end staff.
00:26 DaemonFC; It's higher quality food, cash business.
00:26 schestowitz[TR2]; good

00:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2],
00:31 DaemonFC; Hello,
00:31 DaemonFC; I logged into your App today and saw that almost all of the prices had increased by a high percentage.
00:31 DaemonFC; When I went in to order to see if they had changed in the restaurant, they had not.
00:31 DaemonFC; After I punched in my Rewards email and ordered at the lower in-store price, the prices on my App reset to the lower price.
00:31 DaemonFC; I have decided to blog about this and link to it on my Mastodon accounts and have Roy Schestowitz copy the article on Techrights to show the public how you are running price experiments on us.
00:31 TR News; Absolute bollox disguised as "reporting". Is this the "new normal", too?
00:31 DaemonFC; This is unacceptable and if this is how your company treats its customers we will simply stop going there.
00:31 DaemonFC; You have competition which is fully staffed, has higher quality food, and runs as a cash business with no stupid apps that divide people and charge some higher prices.
00:31 DaemonFC; In Waukegan, IL, there's El Famous Burrito right down the street from Taco Bell. The town is like half Mexican. There's a lot of real Mexican restaurants.
00:31 DaemonFC; You keep hiking those prices and see where it gets you when people notice!

00:38 DaemonFC; So now Taco Bell's experimental App prices that some people seem to get are a third higher than the same items were in November of 2022, just six months ago!
00:38 DaemonFC; To top it off, they have severely cheaped out on their menu.
00:38 DaemonFC; Has anyone noticed that the taco shells are about half as thick as they were about a year ago and either the taco meat soaks through the bottom and causes it to come apart there, or the thing just crumbles while you're eating it and turns into a taco salad all over the table?
00:39 schestowitz[TR2]; DaemonFC: want feedback on your post?

00:40 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
00:40 DaemonFC; To note, the taco shells that come apart on you at Taco Bell are not just my imagination because the calories listed in a taco went from 170 to 140, and my guess is that that comes from the shell being reduced in thickness to increase their margins.
00:40 DaemonFC; Sure.
00:40 schestowitz[TR2]; goes against my intution btw
00:40 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@sourcehut/user/noisytoot) has joined #techrights
00:40 schestowitz[TR2]; that they charge MOAR for "app"
00:41 schestowitz[TR2]; usually you expect the opposite
00:41 DaemonFC; They don't want you to pay any attention to the menu.
00:41 schestowitz[TR2]; you get charged more to secure people's job and get real service
00:41 DaemonFC; You get your own menu with your own prices as well, I guess.

00:43 schestowitz[TR2]; oh, my
00:43 schestowitz[TR2]; prices went up a lolt
00:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Yes, but if you use the app, you can get a large fries on the side for $1.
00:44 DaemonFC; Earn "points" redeemable for "free" sandwiches.
00:44 DaemonFC; Get 2 sandwiches for the price of 1 sometimes.
00:44 schestowitz[TR2]; thje price of 1 is fake
00:44 DaemonFC; So they use the app as a way of forcing infrequent customers to subsidize people who go there often enough to have the app.
00:44 DaemonFC; Yeah.
00:45 schestowitz[TR2]; the art of ripping people off while making them feel good about it
00:45 DaemonFC; If you use a BOGO, they're basically $2.99 each (well, $2.99 and half a cent, which is possible because you buy 2).
00:45 DaemonFC; Yes, if you pay menu prices at McDonalds you're getting ripped off bad.

00:51 DaemonFC; So how does it come out to just $1.01 more for Mandy to have the same meal I'm eating than if it was just me in there?

02:20 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's just bad, but it's hard to even tell what it is.
02:20 DaemonFC; Because it smells like wet rot, cigar smoke, weed, and whatever the neighbors are cooking.

02:21 schestowitz[TR2]; if you leave the laundry hanging in a room next to you, it'll always smell good
02:21 DaemonFC; That's the thing. When I hand the laundry, it's mostly dry anyway because I have a spinner.
02:22 DaemonFC; And so like 90%+ of the water the washer's spin cycle left goes out and into a bowl then I flush it down the toilet or something.
02:22 DaemonFC; I have a dehumidifier.
02:22 DaemonFC; But there's mold in the walls already.
02:22 DaemonFC; The only thing that does is slow down the rot.
02:23 DaemonFC; I turn the dehumidifier on, it's sucking a gallon a day out of the air.
02:23 DaemonFC; Which tells me there's moisture getting in somewhere, but I doubt the landlord is going to want to fix it if he thinks he can possibly offload this building.

02:55 DaemonFC; There's hardly even any reason for people to pay attention to the large capacity ammo mag ban in Illinois.
02:55 DaemonFC; If god-forbid you get the one or two sheriffs and DAs in Illinois that will enforce it on you, it's no worse than Failure to Slow Down to Avoid a Traffic Accident.
02:55 DaemonFC; It's a petty offense. You literally CANNOT go to jail for it no matter how many times you get caught.
02:55 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
02:55 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
02:55 DaemonFC; $1,000 fine sounds pretty steep for violating the large magazine law, but thanks to Democrat inflation, it's getting 5% cheaper every month according to Taco Bell.
02:58 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
02:58 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
02:58 DaemonFC; When the Democrats started debating the $1,000 Illinois fine for large ammo mag, it was November of 2022.
02:58 DaemonFC; In November 2022, $1,000 bought you 111 Deluxe Box Meals at Taco Bell.
02:58 DaemonFC; By April 19th, 2023, $1000 was down to 77 Deluxe Box Meals at Taco Bell.
02:59 DaemonFC; 33% inflation at Taco Bell in 6 months seems rather a lot higher than BLS is talking about.
02:59 DaemonFC; Someone needs to make Paul Krugman explain this to me.

03:17 DaemonFC; Nobody for a second thinks that this is due to Russian sanctions.
03:17 DaemonFC; If the Fed and the Treasury want to back the moral turpitude that has built up in the banking system by guaranteeing uninsured deposits from rich people at every bank, they will have to fire up the printing presses in such a way that makes Zimbabwe go "God damn!"

03:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Perversely, it makes sense to reward your less frequent customers.
03:29 DaemonFC; Think about it.
03:29 schestowitz[TR2]; it was a "Smrart" purchase
03:29 schestowitz[TR2]; it came with RGB lights and a "back" button
03:29 Sompi_; I thought it is the memory controller's job to initialize the memory
03:29 DaemonFC; If you offer people who rarely go there a better price, they're more likely to come in.
03:29 DaemonFC; The more they come in, the higher the price goes.

03:30 phanes; the FRC shares went up 12%
03:30 schestowitz[TR2]; for certain components in the chips
03:30 schestowitz[TR2]; but you pay the transistors
03:30 schestowitz[TR2]; the "patent" or "r&d" tax
03:30 schestowitz[TR2]; you could instead just buy more CPUs
03:30 Sompi_; mjg59_: But why should they provide a reference code in the first place? They are a CPU manufacturer, and not responsible for the firmware
03:30 mjg59_; Sompi_: It became the CPU's problem to initialise the memory once you started needing to train the link between the memory controller and the RAM
03:31 schestowitz[TR2]; btw, LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of musk spam in this aarea

03:34 schestowitz[TR2]; people who know very little getting loud and confident
03:34 Sompi_; mjg59_: I know. But when did it became necessary for the CPU to initialize the memory? It would make sense that it became so when the memory controller was integrated into the CPU
03:34 schestowitz[TR2]; with or wiwhtout a suit
03:34 schestowitz[TR2]; they don't need a suit anynmore

03:34 schestowitz[TR2]; they just name-drop buzzwords
03:34 schestowitz[TR2]; altman
03:34 phanes; tech companies have figured out that you can make open designs functionally proprietary by making it unrelentingly complex and unserviceable
03:35 schestowitz[TR2]; they admit this, phanes
03:35 schestowitz[TR2]; that this is their strategy
03:35 schestowitz[TR2]; very frequent sloppy release is another tactic
03:35 phanes; i see it on open source projects with fortune list sponsors alot
03:35 schestowitz[TR2]; release often, test too little
03:36 schestowitz[TR2]; and tell people to keep patching and getting the next version
03:36 schestowitz[TR2]; ad infinitum
03:36 schestowitz[TR2]; "h, your car no longer works? buy another one"
03:36 phanes; they'll "support" a project by donating all kinds of money and developers to contribute, who scale the shit out of the codebase to the point that it requires continued sponsorship to maintain, and then build governance and steer it like they own the product
03:36 schestowitz[TR2]; in the 90s you didn not need to "update" the bios
03:37 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe you needed to change the clock battery
03:37 schestowitz[TR2]; if your pc lasted long
03:37 schestowitz[TR2]; and many _did_
03:37 Sompi_; schestowitz[TR2]: Yeah, including a "controller" to a device that would otherwise be completely mechanical like a car engine
03:37 schestowitz[TR2]; thhey had jumpers
03:37 schestowitz[TR2]; the cmos stuff
03:37 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR2]: BIOS updates were absolutely a thing in the 90s
03:37 Sompi_; In the 90s it was normal to have third-party BIOSes
03:37 schestowitz[TR2]; 10 years ago when rms was in the uk i suggested to him mehcnical switches
03:38 schestowitz[TR2]; he later recomemnded that to OEMs

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; you know you want to
03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; if not, failing that, ISPs
03:45 mjg59_; Oh, I stopped paying the diamond miners, I just scripted an RNG
03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; but ISPs are local to one's country
03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; and it would be legally risky to change that
03:45 phanes; i dont think he can hang with the math to script an RNG
03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; RNG can be done in a few lines
03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; of code
03:46 mjg59_; It's true, my RNG is just the number 4
03:46 phanes; not a real one
03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; the shorter, the better
03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; easier to audiot
03:46 mjg59_; What
03:46 mjg59_; Good fucking christ

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; "fake nooose"
03:47 mjg59_; A nice short RNG is middle squares
03:47 mjg59_; Easy to understand
03:47 mjg59_; And audit

03:48 mjg59_; Without noting that it's bullshit
03:48 phanes; psuedorandom is "random enough for fun uses" but not random enough for most use cases that require a random number
03:49 mjg59_; Assuming a truly random seed, a good CPRNG is absolutely fine for any plausible use case
03:49 phanes; yeah im sure it's right next to the control
03:49 schestowitz[TR2]; no, let's do 1000 lines of code
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; with secret hardware design
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; and some coders who work for the nsa
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; or work part time for nsa
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; on the hardware
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; on the code
03:50 mjg59_; rdrand() is a single line of assembly
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; that'll work
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; for the nsa
03:50 mjg59_; I guess that's the best one
03:50 phanes; it would actually be a fun project to etch out a silicon wafer and build a hardware-based RNG
03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; take cpu/time
03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; iterate a bit
03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; and take random variable
03:51 mjg59_; Where do you get the random variable
03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; should be dfine in most cases, no lava lamps
03:51 mjg59_; And if it's random, why do you need an RNG
03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; time in milisec is almost random
03:51 mjg59_; Nope
03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; if the machine runs other arbitrary things
03:51 phanes; not even close
03:52 schestowitz[TR2]; from another user
03:52 schestowitz[TR2]; "BUY A YUBIKEY!!"
03:52 mjg59_; If I know within a second when your event occurred, I only need to try 1000 possible values to see which one gives me the same numbers
03:52 mjg59_; And I can test 1000 things very quickly, because that's the sort of thing that computers are very good at
03:52 *schestowitz[TR2] still has entropykey, usb
03:53 phanes; we've broken through the barrier and have entered the land of autism
03:53 Sompi_; Time in clock cycles after sched_yield() is very random in multi-tasking environments. The program cannot know how much other processes use the CPU time
03:53 schestowitz[TR2]; no, you take from the 1000
03:53 schestowitz[TR2]; then again
03:53 schestowitz[TR2]; and again
03:53 schestowitz[TR2]; different readings
03:53 schestowitz[TR2]; 3 readings, 2^32 almost
03:54 Sompi_; Probably even more random than rand() in most cases
03:54 mjg59_; Oh no how will I test a billion things on a CPU that executes 4 billion instructions a second
03:54 phanes; i mean it depends on who writes your checks
03:54 Sompi_; With rand() the actual random number generator may be extracted from the runtime and then you know the next number for sure
03:55 schestowitz[TR2]; most good programs throttle down attempts and potentially wipe or self-terminate after x number of failed attempts
03:55 phanes; luks doesn't
03:55 schestowitz[TR2]; so again, real security doesn't take more than few lines of code
03:55 schestowitz[TR2]; and some entropy
03:56 phanes; you can brute force luks header blocks all day and night
03:56 schestowitz[TR2]; even a person with a biology degree can understand that

03:58 schestowitz[TR2]; also, it fires off after 30 secs of 3 wrong attempts
03:58 schestowitz[TR2]; *or
03:58 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR2]: I run this on my computer. You don't get to ratelimit me.
03:58 phanes; at least he's kicked it down a notch to defaming high profile cis white males so that his colleagues and peers can get some shit done
03:59 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR2]: The point is to be able to obtain the internal state of your RNG based on the external state. If I can do that, I know what the next output of your RNG will be.
03:59 phanes; as long as he's focused on musk he's leaving the innocents alone

04:13 schestowitz[TR2]; they built their audience in somneone else's yard
04:14 schestowitz[TR2]; and then they scoff at the yard owner
04:14 phanes; the influencer type eventually realizes their influence has little to do with their follower count
04:14 phanes; or their popularity

04:16 schestowitz[TR2]; biab
04:17 phanes; imo the first step in breaking free of that trap is to shift all aspects of self-validation to rely on your value system which must be guided by purely by an internal compass.
04:18 phanes; you have to have a sound structure for your mind, body and soul
04:18 phanes; that requires design and building
04:18 phanes; not external validation
04:19 phanes; otherwise you're vulnerable to the timeless idiocy of mob, and become a purely responsive product of your environment

04:23 phanes; shifting to an internal valuation system is a dangerous road, though. when you're carrying your own lamp, the shadows in the room can play tricks on you. There's a fine line between removing a dependency on the external and building a delusion of the ego, which is a kind of blindness, not light. That's why I say that the structure of the mind must be designed.
04:25 phanes; that's before building a resistance to those who might attempt to exploit reliance on an internal compass

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; AdmFubar: they went too far. you could not even mention that person x is the same as y.
04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; to highlight that one uses two different names.
04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; because they call it "deadnaming"
04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; so if I said Brad Manning and Chelsea Manning is the same person
04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; that's "hateful"
04:40 phanes; how odd that they take that approach when the same tech community subculture was doxxing austistic kids like 15 years ago on encyclopedia dramatica
04:41 phanes; i wonder how many apology letters that community failed to issue before they took that stance to try to purify their position
04:42 phanes; and how many lives were destroyed in the process
04:43 phanes; how many people were targeted professionally and personally at great ruin simply for being heteronormative and white and male, which was rampant and widespread for years
04:43 phanes; to the folks who made the error of trying to contribute during the takeover anyway
04:44 schestowitz[TR2]; just to remove misunderstanding
04:44 schestowitz[TR2]; deadnaming is not the same as misgendering
04:44 schestowitz[TR2]; deadnaming as a concept enables censorhsip of history itself
04:44 schestowitz[TR2]; or gross revisionism
04:44 phanes; it does
04:45 schestowitz[TR2]; i can change my name
04:45 schestowitz[TR2]; but i cannot make my past goes away
04:45 schestowitz[TR2]; states will keep track of who i am
04:45 schestowitz[TR2]; like, if i did participate in a terror attack

05:08 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], Now I have a headache.
05:08 DaemonFC; I just increased Mandy's 401(k) contributions.
05:08 DaemonFC; I realized that with all of this interest coming in, we'll be over the amount for the $1,000 SAVERS credit and get bumped back to $200.
05:09 DaemonFC; So I'm leaving the money invested and earning, but performing an aerobraking maneuver through his 401(k).
05:09 DaemonFC; That will drag our countable AGI for the year low enough that we get the extra $800 back through the credit.
05:10 DaemonFC; And we get to boost his retirement account.
05:11 TR News; Newer versions of KDE lets you control window opacity with mouse wheel on the titlebar. Nice.
05:11 phanes; that adds up over like 40 years but you could also live like a fucking king if you increase total income
05:12 DaemonFC; I have to keep our AGI under $43,500 to get the full value of that credit.
05:13 DaemonFC; Which just means a little bit of messing around with the old retirement fund.
05:14 DaemonFC; The adjustment I made today should reflect the total amount of extra interest I earn on my investments throughout the year vs. last year.
05:14 DaemonFC; That leaves us with about $1,200 of wiggle room. I claimed a bit over $1,000 in Class Action settlements as Other Income last year.
05:16 DaemonFC; I might go back and dial up the contribution a little more depending on what I see later on.
05:16 DaemonFC; Your goal is to get close but aim low.
05:16 DaemonFC; You get as close as possible to what the IRS allows you to earn in AGI while also keeping the credit.
05:16 phanes; you'd end up with alot more if you were pulling 250k and dropping 100k a year onto it while you live in a house twice the size with plenty of disposable income
05:17 DaemonFC; Well that's the thing.
05:17 DaemonFC; If we went over it would only be a couple grand, maybe.
05:17 DaemonFC; So at this point, stuff the excess into retirement and give the IRS a $1,000 buzz cut.
05:18 phanes; there's a threshold with income curves that after you break it (it's around the 115k mark) everything you make after that becomes just extra money
05:18 phanes; so the difference between 200k-250k is way, way bigger than the difference between 60k-110k

06:04 TR News; Global Menu _MIGHT_ be OK, if it was not buggy. But they removed the original choice, which was not buggy, and now impose on everyone a buggy one
06:09 TR News; ICBM: HEY, KID!! GLOBAL MENUS! DIS DE FUTURE! Try it now. OK, now it's default. OK, OK, now it's the only option. Haha. Good, innit? Oh, it has bugs, lol, real sorry! Coming up next: WAYLAND! If you liked "GLOBAL MENUS!", you will liiiiiike Wayland. Coming soon.. experimental, option, than mandated. Testing, staging, PROD!!
06:11 TR News; There are clearly many KDE users, the "original" users, who do not like and do not want "global menu". Imposing it on them is not good. Impsoing on them someting that introduces new bugs is even worse. It'll upset the most hardcore KDE proponents.
06:14 TR News; Debian KDE now acting like KDE neon, too much "latest" and experimental stuff even in stable. It probably doesn't help that Bully de Blanc et al drove away the most important KDE development guru/maintainer of Debian.
06:16 TR News; ICBM benefits when quality control in Debian goes down. Of course ICBM staff are among those mobbing Debian, driving away some truly important developers who make, not break.
06:16 TR News; ICBM is to GNU/Linux users what Mozilla and Baker are to longtime Firefox users
06:17 TR News; No, Baker, I don't think Mozilla should make my OWN instance of Firefox phone GAFAM (Amazon, Google) when I browse the Web. Yes, yes, I know your "business model" isn't the same as my own preferences.
06:19 TR News; No, KDE, restarting a large Kate session or KDE isn't an option for people who try to get work done rather than wank themselves over useless (and buggy) "hamburger menus" and "global menu". WE ARE NOT USING "smart" "phones".

06:24 DaemonFC; phanes, Well, all I'm basically trying to do here is earn some bank interest on CDs and then shove an equivalent amount of money to the interest into my spouse's 401(k).
06:24 DaemonFC; So our AGI remains the same as if I didn't earn $1,000 or so in interest on the CDs.
06:25 DaemonFC; But there's still an extra $1,000 somewhere. It just gets pushed into his retirement account and our bank balance is the same as if I had just left it in checking earning no interest.
06:25 DaemonFC; We get to keep the $1,000, it just gets pushed into a retirement account where the feds can't touch it this year and still have to give me my credit. :)
06:26 DaemonFC; Which is pretty cool really because that's a big boost to his retirement savings, considering that he hasn't been in the US that long and REALLY needs to catch up.
06:26 DaemonFC; I'm going to account for the class action settlements if and when those come in.
06:27 DaemonFC; So basically Facebook, Lemonade, and Veriff get to shove, oh IDK, another $1200-1500 into the retirement account too.
06:27 DaemonFC; Again, feds can't touch it this year and we get to keep our credit.
06:27 DaemonFC; Let's face it. Saving it from them THIS YEAR is worth a lot because in retirement most people are dead broke and they don't pay a lot in taxes anyway.
06:28 DaemonFC; He'll be lucky if he's drawing more than $1,000 a month out of this thing in old age to go along with whatever Socialized Insecurity is still paying after the fuckers in Washington level it.
06:29 phanes; i dunno, im gonna be living in a floating iron sky fortress held up by engines that burn money as fuel when i retire
06:29 DaemonFC; So if some big banks and evil tech companies shove some money in today, that's worth taking.
06:30 phanes; this machine learning engine I wrote that predicts stock prices fluctuations has me up 13% in just the month I've been using it so far. I know it's a taboo topic in investment, but, so far, so good.

06:36 TR News; Hey, Mozilla, WTF? "Download Firefox for Android or iOS to synchronise with your mobile device."... "Download using your mobile device. Point your camera at the QR code. When a link appears, tap it." From Firefox options!
06:39 Sompi_; Microsoft Edge is also advertising some mobile app version of itself
06:39 Sompi_; Happened to me when using Windows, the ad did not go away and the computer crashed shortly after that
06:40 TR News; Latest Firefox ESR in Debian stable, still cannot add new extensions, themes, search engines etc. That worked OK nearly 20 years ago. Mozilla, how do you break your own flagship products so fast? How much does Gulag pay you? Still 300,000,000 dollars per year? How much code did Baker write? "I can't code, but my hair salon in San Francisco charges $400 to dye and cut it like a fox.."
06:40 Sompi_; Many things in Firefox's UI are just completely broken
06:40 Sompi_; You click something and nothing happens
06:40 Sompi_; They keep changing things but newer fix anything
06:41 TR News; Mozilla, is it hard to make it STILL possible to add a new search engine? That worked 20 years ago. You just needed to not break that.
06:41 Sompi_; They also broke the character encoding menu already back in 2014
06:42 Sompi_; They removed most encodings and the possibility to add your own encodings
06:42 Sompi_; And now the same developer, Henri Sivonen, removed the encoding menu completely
06:43 TR News; Mozilla Firefox should be used in Computer Science classes. To teach pupils/students not how to not develop software (they've developed nothing noteworthy in 15 years) but how not to maintain your software (break stuff, inc. all the XUL things) while adding malware, then pretending it's "accident" (when caught).
06:43 Sompi_; They are removing basic features and randomly changing things in the UI and breaking stuff while doing so
06:43 TR News; Mozilla needs a new slogan: we spy less than Chrome
06:44 TR News; Microsoft is laying off loads of people (more than the press admits; Microsoft bribes it to downplay this) and there's lots more coming soon. But now we have far more problems than Microsoft and Windows.
06:45 schestowitz[TR2]; Sompi_: yes, it's tragic

06:45 schestowitz[TR2]; same for thunderbird

06:45 schestowitz[TR2]; now they gradfually shave it up into "app"
06:46 schestowitz[TR2]; they won't stop till it's minimalist and useless to many people
06:46 schestowitz[TR2]; and has just "back" button
06:46 schestowitz[TR2]; then mock the critics

19:01 TR Bot; Solved: Do I need to report interest less than $10 to IRS and indicate on 1040?
19:01 DaemonFC; "If you have 3 savings accounts and each earned $9.99 cents, you DO NOT REPORT IT-PERIOD!"
19:01 DaemonFC; LOL
19:01 DaemonFC; That's actually not true.
19:01 DaemonFC; If you earn more than $10 total in Interest from a single payer, they have to give you a 1099-INT, which means the IRS got one too.
19:02 AdmFubar; https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/20/jailbreak-tricks-discords-new-chatbot-into-sharing-napalm-and-meth-instructions/
19:02 TR Bot; tricks Discord's new chatbot into sharing napalm and meth instructions | TechCrunch
19:02 DaemonFC; For example, if you have 10 Savings Accounts at a bank and each one only earned $1 that year, they still issue 1099-INT because the total was $10.
19:02 DaemonFC; But there's also no minimum reporting requirement for you.
19:03 DaemonFC; What does this mean? While you could have another bank where you earned $9, and that bank wouldn't issue you a 1099-INT, you still have to report the $9 on your 1040 in Interest by adding it to your 1099-INTs.
19:04 DaemonFC; Does the IRS know you made $9 in Interest at that bank? Well, they didn't get a 1099-INT, so if you "forget" to report it, that alone probably won't get you in trouble, but...
19:05 DaemonFC; They are the Treasury. They can look at anyone's bank accounts. If you get audited for some other reason, you have to turn over your bank statements (or they can just grab them) and the auditor will figure out you had a little interest and add it while you're being audited anyway.
19:06 DaemonFC; The reason they don't care about 1099-INTs for <$10 at an institution is because they don't want to create a ridiculous reporting burden for the bank and most people don't have so many financial institutions where this would be the case that it would affect their tax bill by more than a dollar or two.
19:06 DaemonFC; People go "Well, if I didn't get a 1099, why should I report it?"
19:07 DaemonFC; Most 1099s havea $600 reporting requirement. So if a payer pays you $600 or more that year, they have to give you a 1099, which means the IRS gets one. Great! What happens if they pay you $550 and don't issue a 1099?
19:08 DaemonFC; You still have to report the income somewhere and explain it, so it goes under Other Income and with an explaination on an attached sheet.
19:08 DaemonFC; IF the IRS were to audit that payer, they may not have been required to issue 1099s, but they do have the information about names and addresses of who they paid.
19:08 DaemonFC; It looks bad if the IRS matches this and finds out you didn't report it, or goes over your bank statements and repeatedly finds $500 here and $500 there.
19:12 DaemonFC; Now, what is the exception?
19:12 DaemonFC; I was preparing mom's tax return and she uses a big bank.
19:13 DaemonFC; The big bank paid her like 3 cents interest on her deposit account and there was no 1099-INT of course. So how do you report that?
19:13 DaemonFC; You don't. I's under 50 cents. You round up to the nearest whole dollar per 50 cents, or else you round down. So 49 cents or less rounds down to zero.
19:14 DaemonFC; You could try putting it into TurboTax, but it would just say you had interest and it was nothing.
19:15 DaemonFC; So if you have 50 cents of interest, you have a whole dollar of income for tax purposes.
19:15 DaemonFC; $9.58 in interest? You put down $10. $50.52 interest? You put down $51.
19:15 DaemonFC; $50.48 is $50.
19:17 DaemonFC; 1099-INTs are super easy as long as you have a bunch of accounts at the same institution. But what about Treasury Bonds?
19:18 DaemonFC; Well, I went ahead and did my taxes before I got my 1099-INT from the Treasury, so I entered their FEIN as it is listed on their site and then entered a separate 1099-INT for each bond that I sold.
19:18 DaemonFC; I had like 6 of them. So as long as the total is accurate, it's fine. Lot of work though.

23:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR2], I'm sorry. I must be hearing things.
23:33 DaemonFC; So do you actually agree that subsidies drive up the list price so the customer pays the same as they would have anyway while also wasting an enormous amount of taxpayer money?
23:34 DaemonFC; I don't know. People who have it so much better than I do kill themselves every day.
23:34 DaemonFC; Go figure.
23:34 DaemonFC; Sometimes in ways that are gruesome and you know had to hurt like hell even if just for a few seconds or minutes.
23:34 DaemonFC; But, they usually don't do it without any warning signs.
23:35 DaemonFC; What I'm told is a warning sign is that sometimes someone who was horribly depressed for a long time is suddenly in a really good mood.
23:36 DaemonFC; Like, they have all these problems but their mood just has this hockey stick-shaped jump all of a sudden. Like none of it matters anymore.
23:36 DaemonFC; Then they may start even giving things away, like they don't need them.
