What do you do though if Apple is telling the truth and allowing 3rd party wallets would degrade the security even for their own wallet?

But I wanted to point out, Android is much, much more permissive in what peripherals and apps can do.

That’s kinda true, but not what I was getting at. Android has restrictive background processing limits and the APIs around it keep getting more restrictive and the OEMs like Samsung keep ignoring the rules of how things should work and break your apps when you do it right anyway… Ultimately it’s incredibly difficult to write an app and guarantee background work.

Apple, is even worse on its restrictions of background work, but Apple owns the OS and and can bypass it all for their watch.

Apple will never get to bypass the fuckery you have to deal with on Android, only the Android OEMs get that.

The apple watch thing is kinda interesting.

So you make a watch and it has super tight integrations with OS level software on the phone.

I can’t imagine they can force apple to write an Android app, which doesn’t even have the same system level access as their OS app and provide some sort of degraded service.

Maybe they could force them to let it function in some limited way but where do you draw the line on forcing them to write android apps?

Oh, you’re right. Whoops.

This isn’t about him paying his legal bill, it’s about a bond to appeal.

Using all your cash to appeal is a bad idea for ANYONE

if you lose the appeal, you can then decide on your cash and asset mix to pay it off.

Edit: think about it this way. If you can put up asset collateral on a appeal that’ll take a year, that’s a whole year you could be earning interest on the cash and have cash for an emergency. Maybe you go half and half so you don’t risk as much of the other assets. Leaving yourself with no cash is just bad. He’s in a really bad situation so maybe he only has bad options, but that doesn’t mean it’s not bad.

Just to be clear - I’m in no way shape or form supporting Trump. I’m just pointing out using all your cash, in any circumstance, is not a good idea. He has to solve his own problem even if it’s a bad situation

When hallucinations become the wanted output

Its possible at a firesale value it could end up being a capital loss. There wouldn’t be any taxes then.

But you’d need a legit appraisal to even know if it’s a loss, his appraisals are worthless

It’s ability to be stolen really comes down to was the password to it ever written down or did they not use a password.

If they didn’t write it down, you could conceivably keep it safe from theft as long as the people that know the password don’t give it up if tortured.

Also breaking it up into multiple wallets with different passwords that not everyone knows would limit a complete theft.

Edit: in the scenario where it can’t be stolen, killing everyone that knows the password would still leave the country with nothing though.

The safe withdraw for an extended early retirement is 3.5%

With 4%, while the chance is small, you could end up running out of money.

Someone did all the numbers for 35-40+ years looking back historically, and there were 4 or 5 years where if you started then and didn’t adjust your plan, you’d run out of cash.

There were 0 scenarios where 3.5% ran out

Clearance doesn’t mean someone is particularly intelligent

I’m pretty sure it would weed out the bottom of the barrel idiots at least which I’m sure someone would prefer to have on the jury as they’d be easier convinced one way or the other.

He has to put up 550 million.

If he locks up 400 million (all his cash) he has no cash until this is over with and he gets it back and he can then sell assets if needed to cover it.

That’s not a good financial move for anyone.

No one wants to use any of his asset collateral because he’s lied about its worth so he has to use his cash.

Edit: to clarify, no one wants to risk 500 million if he gives them 50 because they don’t think they can get the 500 back from him if he tries to back out of it.

No defense/prosecutor would want a jury make up like that, they’d be too smart.

Judge: ignore any markings on the filed indicating top secret, classified, human intelligence, and make your own decisions on each file!

That’s still not enough.

Also giving up ALL your cash is a bad idea, you’d want to do that as a mix of cash and other assets, so he’d still need someone willing to use those as collateral.

You can just buy a put.

There’s no infinite loss risk either, the amount risked is determined up front.

Riskier in the sense it can expire worthless, you can’t hold it forever.

A lot of games can’t do high graphics and high fps

You end up with a choice in the settings menu.

It’d be nice to get both and not have to sacrifice one or the other.

I moved into a new place, there was a tenant in private suite downstairs.

We hung out here and there and I fronted him for a couple restaurant meals over a few weeks.

When I started asking for him to pay me back he laughed and said no, you shouldn’t give money to strangers.

I let the landlord know, he didn’t care, we stopped talking and I eventually moved out.

He never said he’d reach orbit alive or in 1 piece

Gotta start building it now while it’s not banned federally. Will make things easier if it does happen
