I can kinda wrap my head around some of the sovereign citizen arguments. They mostly range from the simply stupid to the insane. But there is a sort or bizarre cargo cult logic to them.

But the idea that everyone is entitle to $200,00 (or whatever) at birth is a total mystery to me.


I would also have loved to have seen the judge's face when the loon tried to pay his debt by handing over a birth certificate with loving stamps all over it.

Short explanation, they don't understand "full faith and credit" and think that money has to be still backed by something tangible, in this case people. They believe that when we moved off the gold standard President Roosevelt dissolved the government, reformed it as a private corporation and pledged all present and future Americans, now assets of USA Inc, as backing for US currency. Henceforth when an American is born some amount of money, the most common amount cited is $200,000, is placed in a bond that is then sold on the open market, it earns interest, which is then placed into a account with the same number. So have a bill to pay? Just give them your birth certificate, or birth certificate number, and the US Treasury will issue a warrant out of it to the payee.

So it looks like the new iPhone update with brick your phone if the home button is damaged, or was previously repaired by a 3rd party.

http://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/feb/05/error-53-apple-iphone-software-update-handset-worthless-third-party-repair

The most fascinating thing is how gosh darn furious are iPhone owners with this development, while going straight back to the Apple store to buy another.

This is related to ApplePay. Since the whole chain has to be validated to prevent fraud, there's no way to tell between someone repairing their screen through a third party using unsecured parts and someone trying to effect an mitm attack on TouchID.

Still an unnecessary pain in the rear end aimed at directing people to Apple stores to get gouged on repairs and upsold a bunch of bullshit they don't want or need. If the problem is down to validation and parts, then Apple needs to harden the gently caress up, provide correct parts to other vendors outside its own stores, and/or fix its ApplePay garbage and quit being assholes.

There's literally no way to do that and still be in compliance with their bank agreements. Remember they are getting card present rates or better and this is a huge part of why. Don't be pissed at Apple for caring about security.


vvv Not really, what Magnuson-Moss actually says is that they can't cancel your warranty outright when you repair or modify a device with third party parts and they have to cover unmodified and original parts for the term of the warranty. However in this case this isn't happening, they are not refusing to repair your phone or canceling your warranty. They are simply disabling access to their licensed software as outlined in the EULA you agreed to when you purchased the phone. vvv

I was pretty miffed when I heard Uber does this. A driver who maintains a consistent 4/5 rating is likely to get fired, even though most people would consider a 4/5 pretty good. Giving 3 stars automatically pulls up a "What went wrong?" prompt on your app where you can explain why you're giving such a low rating, and Uber loves to give refunds or ride credits for drivers making illegal U-turns or missing your suburb if you tell them. Which means it's possible that some good, reliable drivers are getting warnings or being let go because well-meaning people who misunderstood the rating system gave them a lot of 4 star ratings.

That's every ratings system. Look at video games, where the only acceptable ratings are eight to ten. Hell even then eight is considered a critical failure.

Obamacare was already on hospice care. Back when it was passed in the first place, a lot of people said "Wait, this is fundamentally broken. You're never going to get enough young healthy people to buy insurance they don't need in order to cover the cost of healthcare for the old and sick, and the tax surcharge you hit them with if they don't is nowhere near big enough to get persuade them to do so. It's going to go into a downward spiral where more and more insurers decide to stop participating because they can't actually make any money."

And that's exactly what happened. Premiums for those insurers still participating in the exchanges are going up dramatically, in some cases doubling,. Which will in turn discourage more young healthy people from continuing to pay for policies they don't need, it's a positive feedback loop of broken suck. There is no chance that Obamacare was going to survive a Clinton presidency, either, because it is literally unsustainable. Things that can't be sustained won't be.

It's almost like it was designed by a right wing think tank :holy:


vvv The real schadenfreude is that we have RNs on both sides who instead of practicing healthcare and serving people are tasked with finding anything they can to inflate costs or deny payment. vvv
