// Discussing weird hobbies. Re-ordered for clarity. jpo: My current hobby is reading about tax law echarlie: Why? haicen: Probably to learn how legal tax evasion works haicen: But realistically, you either have enough money to hire someone to figure that out, or you don't have enough money for it to matter jpo: No. You can hire someone to figure out how much you owe, but I haven’t been able to find someone who'd be able to tell me how to change what I'm doing to minimize future taxes in the first place jpo: Such people give standard advice which may be good for most people, but I am not most people, and am trying to save way more than a typical American and retire early, which means my tax considerations are not standard, and "just max roth" doesn't necessarily make sense jpo: So the best way is of course to write a program in Haskell that expresses tax laws as a directed graph of money-type transformations, express the resulting graph as a matrix, express your desired outcome as a fitness function, reduce said matrix, and out pops optimal tax avoidance strategy jpo: Of course, nobody takes this approach, they just look at single choices in isolation, and so the overall macro-scale outcome is suboptimal because they aren’t considering everything holistically haicen: I was with you except the Haskell part lukas: oh what's this, a real world useful application of haskell?!?!? jpo: actually yes! ;)

cco3 | I've decided that if I ever right an autobiography, it will be totally factual, except that I will have the superpower to jump back in time 24 |hours and tell myself, "24 hours from now, you will be <insert implausible scenario that actually does come to pass>" cco3 | write* cco3 | So this future me will keep jumping back in time and telling me this crazy stuff cco3 | "24 hours from now, you will be totally lost in downtown Austin in a car you borrowed from a paranoid schizophrenic" cco3 | Stuff like that +telnoratti | You stole a paranoid schozophernic's car? cco3 | borrowed... cco3 | I was helping someone move, and he had the UHaul, and someone needed to drive his car to the UHaul place +telnoratti | he's paranoid schizophrenic I don't think he'd let you borrow cco3 | and I was the only one that could drive a stick cco3 | I guess his meds were working for him that day? +telnoratti | This story seems dubious cco3 | When I started up the car, it was one of those where you have to turn the key *just* right to get it to start cco3 | so after 5 minutes of struggling, I got it started, we rolled out of the driveway and I was following him cco3 | He starts to pull over at a gas station, and he's being pretty hesitant cco3 | I guess he doesn't know if the uhaul is too tall or he's having trouble seeing everything cco3 | so park and get out to help direct him cco3 | turns out he was just letting someone else in our party pass cco3 | I rush back in the car and try to start it cco3 | of course, I can't start it again cco3 | it takes me like 10 minutes to get the key to turn right cco3 | and this guy just doesn't notice that I'm not following him cco3 | luckily someone had given him my cellphone number and eventually he calls me and tries to direct me cco3 | but this is before GPS was everywhere, and I had only been in Austin for a month or so, and it's near midnight, and I have no idea where I am cco3 | After 30 minutes of driving around while trying to talk on a phone at midnight in an unfamiliar place, I finally made it there cco3 | but that was pretty stressful +telnoratti | you didn't know where you were goign so your solution was to just keep driving randomly? cco3 | telnoratti: yes cco3 | optimal algorithm cco3 | I don't think it'd be as bad now that I'm older, but back then I hadn't had a car for months and even driving was somewhat unfamiliar cco3 | I was so sure I was going to hit something and wreck his car -
<telnoratti> fine well to start off i always give a friend from yorktown a clock for xmas/borthday <telnoratti> binary ect. cool clocks this year i decided to get him an atomic clock and i bought an eviltron <telnoratti> .g eviltron <+Wadsworth> telnoratti: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/c427/ <telnoratti> and hid it inside the clock <telnoratti> iso every 15-20 min it made a random creepy sound <telnoratti> a few weeks went by and nothing happened so i assmued it didn't work <telnoratti> untill i got a call from my other friend telling me that his gf just tried to commit suicide <telnoratti> apparently they had been hearing it the entire time and assumed their appt. was haunted <telnoratti> they got wiccans to try and expell the spirits and my friend had his first nightmares since 10 <telnoratti> they even moved appts <telnoratti> but brought the clock <telnoratti> yeah apparently they thought some spirit wanted them dead or something and my friend came home to his gf popping pills <+ackthet> what did they say? <telnoratti> well he's not talking to me lol <telnoratti> and from what my other friend said the clock is a pile of rubble that has been repeatedly exploded <telnoratti> apparently it kept sounding like it was from different locations
