When it becomes known who Trump is in personal debt to the tune of $400 million, a connection will be made between him and his creditors to some action he took which might have benefited his benefactors. The whole thing looks like it will be published before the election.....

Creditors are not "benefactors." Not in the least. What you do with creditors is pay the payments and adhere to the terms of the loan.

Or you negotiate a deal that doesn't involve paying the debt directly but benefits the creditors in other ways.  Like, for example, allowing Turkey to steamroll the Kurds even though they were our close allies in taking out ISIS in exchange for writing off a few hundred million in personal debt.

Trump campaign communications director on Fox:

"The President has experience, now, fighting the coronavirus as an individual. Those firsthand experiences, Joe Biden, he doesn’t have those."



I hope that he doesn't try to send a general message of "coronavirus is harmless, look at me!".
Sorry to disappoint.

It's like Trump mailing all registered Republicans coupons for sky diving, hard liquor, and cigarettes, and telling them that real patriots aren't pussies.

Or just the republican Senators the day before the SCOTUS confirmation vote.
2504  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Presidential debates on: October 05, 2020, 02:06:58 PM
3 SCOTUS picks would be great if Amy Barrett can get confirmed.

Trump being a genius that he is managed to complicate that as well by infecting 3 GOP senators... and no, I'm not saying he personally licked them and gave them the virus but the idiotic lack of social distancing, masks, etc at White House events and other Trump-related gatherings seems to be where it spread. Now some other dumbass (Tom Cotton?) is saying that they should just bring the sick senators to vote if needed. So what if some fossils catch it and die... you get your judge, that's all that matters.

here come the murdered baby comments!

Next you and your progressives will be banning Hemingway. Or Jack London. Or a hundred other examples.

Please note that Trump has virtually banned your critical race theory Marxist propaganda in federal agencies, and I think in schools also. I hope we see more such rules, because using and abusing terms needs to stop.

Do you think this guy justcheckin is racist or no?  Are you not comfortable calling someone a white supremacist because it feels politically incorrect to you?


I'm glad that acronym got wider use coz it truly is what they do. I keep seeing these nutjobs' antics in my feed and it's just frustrating and depressing. These are violent mobs and the states aren't even punishing them for destroying livelihood and killing people.

And still the virtue signaling cuck Libs insist these animals should be treated equally as they watch American culture be defined and destroyed as we know it by a bunch of monkeys from Africa that never should have been let out of their cages. There are only 3 real paths forward.  Put them back in the cages our forefathers intended for them, send them back to where they came from or allow the infestation to get worse and our country to be destroyed.

Not just over used, but their definitions and generality are being changed progressively.

That's what progressives do, right? Create progressive change?

Yea, exactly.


There should not be any problem with asking exactly a debate opponent means in a question or assertion.

Agree again (this must be a record).

Do you disagree about the examples I gave of (what I consider) openly racist posts that promote White Supremacy in this thread?



2507  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Black Crimes Matter on: October 05, 2020, 02:07:32 AM
Interesting how the BTC community is so far right they genuinely see a race issue rather than a demographics issue. I'd have expected more political neutrality. That said, this post is so painfully american and you guys are weirdly race obsessed.
Eh, there aren't many forums that will allow open racism, much less a thread promoting White Supremacy, so naturally the few places that do (like bitcointalk P&S) will have a disproportionate amount.  It doesn't necessarily reflect the community as a whole.  

These terms such as racism and white supremacy, hate speech, white privilege are generally so broad and encompass so many different things and scenarios to so many different people they are now of little real value or use. Same for woke, radical left etc

These terms are usually thrown in when people shy away from deep debate.
They are used to immediately cast aside opposing views. Almost like an immediate condemnation and alleged debunking of opposing  opinions that requires no analysis or debate.

I don't even recognize such terms. Either bring a specific example of what you are referring to and prove that your opinion is conclusively more optimal that my own. Or accept my views are as valid and correct or nearer to optimal than your own.


Just because the terms are over used doesn't mean they shouldn't be recognized.

How would you describe these posts?  They're pretty explicitly racist and promote White Supremacy imo, which is rare as it's most often implicit, like with OP.

Of course because the jews are protecting the vermin so that they can turn our country rotten from the inside out and the rule us as they believe they are destined to.

We must rise up together and stop any who attempt to help destroy America by pushing this impossible agenda of blacks being considered equal.

If we fail, a white genocide is inevitable.  


I've taken the pledge.  Have you?  


You solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that you will never reveal the name of the person who initiated you… that you are not now a member of any whose aim and intention is to destroy the rights of the South, or of the States, or of the people, or to elevate the negro to a political equality with yourself; and that you are opposed to all such principles, so help you God.

Me too.  He's definitely good at what he does, I got totally duped into thinking his wealth was a result of him being a good business man. 

Any one else familiar with Trump before the POTUS thing came up?

But what I'm seeing is lots of Trump signs, and where there's a Demo sign in a yard? 4/5 times it's some local or state candidate. The 5th time it's a Biden/C sign.

Why would that be, do you think?
You mean like yard signs and Trump flags?  That means there are a lot of Trump supporters in the area that want other people to know who they support.

You're a Sanders advocate, Biden can't be that interesting to you. You weren't a Sanders advocate from Trump hate, I'm sure.

@JollyGood whether Ivanka is guilty or not, how come such news comes out only during the election year, and most notably just a month before the elections are supposed to take place. ...


Perhaps you should propose a new law, that capitalists cannot run for the job of POTUS?

Smiley

I'd be fine with a law that requires a full, public financial disclosure in order to be considered for POTUS.

All the evidence pointing to Trump being a criminal is not that big of a deal when you consider we don't know who owns his debt worth hundreds of millions (which he may not be able to repay) that will be due about 4 years from now.  It could very easily be Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Russia or some other foreign actor - and he's already proven he sees nothing wrong with abusing his power as president for personal gain.

Are you trying to bury the issue because you understand my explanation?  

Why not just remove the provably fair claims so that players are deceived?
There are NO ANY ISSUE. I have answered your questions. I Will answer more, when I take time.

The issue is your games aren't provably fair.  If you have time to spam the forum you have time to take a second to understand what I'm saying.

Answer
The important thing to note is that the card deck is shuffled before the game starts and before the player seed is passed and known by the server. This is guaranteed by revealing the server hash. Let's suppose the deck was shuffled or deliberately constructed in favor of the house. After the player starts a new game their seed is passed to the server. The server uses the seed to calculate the shift number (it's described how it's calculated on the provably fair verification page). Then the card deck is cut based on the shift number. The number of cards that will be cut is not known in advance (and can not be predicted without knowing the client seed), thus it's impossible to construct a deck that with any possible shift number would still provide advantage to the house. This makes it useless for the house to try to cheat and initially shuffle the deck in its favor.

No, it's not.

If the deck is constructed so that no A, K, Q, J, or T of the same suit had less than 11 cards between them, with the last card being considered next to the first card - a royal flush would be impossible to hit regardless of the seed the player chooses.\

In order for the game to be provably fair, the player seed needs to effect the initial shuffle - not simply where the pre shuffled deck starts dealing from.


Answer
The layout of the reels is provided in the each Slots game page.

Yeah I already mentioned I found them.

Thanks.  I was able to find the reel layouts, it's good you provide them.

But like in video poker, the player seed is limited in what it can influence since the initial result is generated non transparently.  

Maybe an actual example will help you understand.

Here's the result of an initial shuffle, before the players seed is used to determine where to 'cut' the deck:

Quote
D3,C7,S5,S7,HK,DA,C8,S2,DJ,DQ,CA,D7,H3,HT,S6,C2,ST,HA,H9,SA,CT,C3,H7,S3,S4,DT,D8,C4,H6,H5,H2,D2,D5,CJ,S8,D4,D9,SJ,CK,SK,DK,S9,CQ,HQ,H4,C9,C6,H8,C5,D6,HJ,SQ

I color coded the royal flush cards.

You'll notice that no matter where the deck is cut, the player has no chance at being dealt a royal flush.

Can you prove that the the shuffle was not manipulated to make royal flush possibilities happen less often than they should?

Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/02/ivanka-trump-donald-trump-tax-affairs


Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, a group led by anti-Trump Republican consultants, dismissed the idea of Ivanka running for president in 2024 or beyond. “She and her bizarre android husband are planning great things for their future, but it doesn’t mean they’re gonna be viable in terms of winning and holding higher office,” he said.

Other commentators suggest that, while Ivanka will follow her father’s example by shrugging off this latest political controversy, the legal implications could be more damaging.

Michael D’Antonio, a political analyst and author of The Truth About Trump, said: “I think that she has ambition, period, so there’s no doubt that she imagines herself to be a prominent figure indefinitely. I don’t know Trumps believe that anything that comes out about them is significantly troublesome; they feel that they can talk their way out of anything where their base is concerned.

“But this payment may have criminal repercussions that are more significant. If she knowingly accepted this money and did it with any understanding that it was in order to evade taxes, and then her father signed the tax returns knowingly, both of them could have criminal liability. So I don’t think it’s a small thing that can just be written off as: “Oh well, it’s too bad that she made this mistake.’”



-----------------


The word going round in Washington seems that both Donald and Ivanka might be in trouble. It seems to be brewing....

By the way that bizarre android husband line mentioned above by Rick Wilson is just pure gold  Grin


@JollyGood whether Ivanka is guilty or not, how come such news comes out only during the election year, and most notably just a month before the elections are supposed to take place. Also I’ll second that line Android husband is actually good, but coming back to the topic now Trumps will claim that it’s a witch-hunt against them, and they’ll escape like they usually don’t you’ll think so?.

Eg: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/02/trump-coronavirus-briefing-jared-kushner-witch-hunt something like this is going to come soon.

Such news has been coming out pretty steadily since Trump was elected.  The reason is he is the president.

In 2018 the NY Times won a Pulitzer for their massive report (basically a book) on how the Trump family fraudulently avoided tens of millions in taxes when, and how after receiving a massive salary from the age of two years old, Donald Trump basically just helped himself to his fathers fortune and proceeded to lose more money than any other American during the 80s.

BS.

Trump doesn't have Covid. It's all a ploy that he is doing to let Scott Atlas step into the lime-light. See the video here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275553.msg55305094#msg55305094. Kinda funny.

Cool

From recent Fox interview:

Atlas called the president a “super vigorous man,” adding that he has “never seen anyone with more energy and more vigor, at any age, but particularly at his age.”

“He is a very, very healthy guy,”


Kind of reminds me of the first time Kim Jong-Il ever played golf.  He was in his mid 50s and shot 38 under par with 11 holes in one.  You'll never see someone his age do that again, or someone of any age for that matter.  That's what happened though.  What an incredible man that Kim Jon-Il was.  And he won every election in a landslide.

There is nothing wrong with receiving consulting fees while being an employee, unless the employee agreement specifically bans such a thing.
Yeah, in this case there is. If there were nothing wrong with it then there would be no reason for any company to pay any taxes ever.

You're only saying that because it was Trump who did it....

Would you please look up some facts before posting obligatory left think?

The corporate tax rate is way, WAY lower than the personal tax rate, so the US gets more income from taxing Ivanka than the corporate entity.

The payment went to a company owned by Ivanka dummy.

He actually didn't 'line up fraudulent postal votes..."

And he's not the only one reporting it.

This is over the border into the idiotic realm.

She apparently received “consulting fees” paid by the Trump Organization, helping reduce the Trump family’s tax bill, while she was simultaneously an employee of the organization.

There is nothing wrong with receiving consulting fees while being an employee, unless the employee agreement specifically bans such a thing.

These people are all in the highest tax bracket, so there would be no net gain in moving money from one to the other.

The fact that they make more than ~$550k/year (which puts them in the highest tax bracket) doesn't mean the tax laws don't apply to them.  What a silly idea.

The voter turnout is going to be at record low levels for this election. Apart from the COVID 19 pandemic, there are opinion polls which claim that a large part of the American population is not supporting either of the two candidates. Some may go out and vote for third party candidates as a protest, but the vast majority will simply abstain from voting.

Even with the pandemic, they're expecting record setting voter turn out.  Over 1 million people have already voted, at this point in 2016 that number was less than 10k.
