he considers having "only" 30 M$ the same as being bankrupt

Or he considers having 98 medallions which might be sellable for 30 million dollars if he's lucky to be the same as being bankrupt. Or what he did was take out a 98 million dollar loan with his medallions as collateral back when they were auctioning for a million dollars each, and now that they're worth a fraction of that, the back wants 68 million dollars back.

That explains everything! The guy in the riced up Honda whose engine sounds like he's doing 90 while he's in the next lane doing 10 alongside me is just trying to retain some tiny piece of freedom and power in the face of the soul crushing workday commute where he's truly as powerless and ineffectual as the rest of us.

Every morning when I get in my car, my psychology says I'd rather be doing anything else.

Regulators don't give a fuck. No one does. I've been getting robodialers to my cell phone endlessly. They all come out of blocks of phone numbers provided by one datacenter (they own blocks around the country). They won't do anything. The regulatory bodies in states the numbers call from won't do anything. FCC won't do anything. FTC won't do anything. I've contacted my state AG. I've contacted my senators and congressmen.

No one gives a flying shit about this kind of thing. It is infuriating.

There's just one problem:responses. If I send data to B and B never sends data back, then that's clearly junk data. If I send data to B and B immediately sends data back then that's clearly junk data unless B is a hidden service. Apply this to every node B talks to (and the nodes they talk to) and it's readily apparent which ones are actually having a conversation.
