- @georgyo We can make it work for 10, we can make it work for 10,000. Good hacks should scale, even on broken systems. in reply to georgyo #
- All you DECT fans, welcome @eventphone to Twitter! #
- Brainstorming motto/tagline ideas for Farr & Posse LLC. (Picking Farr & Legion would have negated this marketing need) #
- Blaming the victim is not a tenable PR position, even if you couch it in a nice analogy about parenting. #
- @cjp Yes, I definitely like that tagline. Perhaps I shouldn't settle on any one tagline and use them all? Or just use @maximka's idea… in reply to cjp #

- Speaking of #har2009 tickets, the "official" aftermarket seems to ahve emerged at https://wiki.har2009.org/page/UnusedTickets #
- @ChrisJohnRiley There are a few hotels in the area. I don't think anyone anticipated that #HAR2009 would sell out! in reply to ChrisJohnRiley #
- @bre Try credit unions instead. in reply to bre #
- @johl I make you this solemn vow: Credit unicorns will be a real, viable financial product before I retire. in reply to johl #

- @ChrisJohnRiley I'm going to make a serious effort to sleep at #HAR2009. I'm not saying I will be successful, but I will try to do so. in reply to ChrisJohnRiley #

- @41414141 I hate recursive interest fail. in reply to 41414141 #
- @openfly How so? The point of the Credit Unicorn is to deleverage consumers, encourage savings & deprive the banks of speculative capital. in reply to openfly #
- @kellbot Actually, the latest round of CC APR increases were pretty arbitrary profit-seeking irrespective of actual increases in risk. in reply to kellbot #
- @kellbot Not only that, I'm trying to use the market to prove that risk pricing models banks use are totally out of sync with reality. in reply to kellbot #
- @openfly People with jobs who have been making payments on these cards and are getting squeezed are a pretty good risk. in reply to openfly #
- @kellbot Categorical risk assessment is what's wrong with the current credit system! Let's look at individuals and assess risk case by case! in reply to kellbot #
- @openfly That is true, and in this case, the average person has a better shot at that profit. Finding the right risk takes practice. in reply to openfly #
- @kellbot I agree. Which is where people like me come in, do the dilligence, pass that information on, and take home a paycheck. in reply to kellbot #
- @kellbot Or, get clobbered if we screw it up. in reply to kellbot #

- @wwward As long as they stay physically in their cars and mentally behind their shields, there's a thin blue line between us and the cops. in reply to wwward #
