asciilifeform: but that chechens knew how to steal ?
mircea_popescu: for one thing. for the other... obviously they stole all the goats they could, but that didn't really register.
asciilifeform: anyway the complete story was that chechens set up faux transfer, and immediately used the proceeds to buy us dollars
asciilifeform: the exchange rate of dollar in ruble climbed exponentially
asciilifeform: and then - at the time crypto was introduced - stopped abruptly.
asciilifeform: whether stopped for this reason, or because god pressed a button, i do not know.
mircea_popescu: capital flight in a collapsed federation is a universal reliable phenomenon.
mircea_popescu: exactly same happened in the last days of austro-hungarian empire
mircea_popescu: expect the same in the last days of the us. not being a nation is VERY dangerous.

asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu. but why would the exchange rate freeze at that particular time ?
asciilifeform: that was the thing that made the legend credible
mircea_popescu: counterparties stopped accepting rubles for eurodollars.
mircea_popescu: trade went to commodity-only, which drove the rapid deindustrialization of 93
asciilifeform: (incidentally, maslennikov reveals several levels of shammitude. for instance, according to him, NOBODY actually USED the calculators. they were issued pro-forma. the actual signing was done with a - never officially approved - pc proggy)

asciilifeform: in which of them ~does~ it match ?!
asciilifeform: i know of none
asciilifeform: only petro export, really
mircea_popescu: foreign reserves.
asciilifeform: aha but bought by 'selling pieces of the motherland' (stalin's words)
mircea_popescu: and energy exports, and avionics, and a list really.
mircea_popescu: ru is not nearly as aerospace capable as the su was when sputnik, but it's certainly not as bad as it had gotten by 1980
mircea_popescu: (comparative terms)
asciilifeform: sorta funny how virtually same rocket is still used.
asciilifeform: and no serious qualitative improvement was ever made, nor - likely - will be

mircea_popescu: there is the lulzy part where "physics phd" genius boy props up a huge derivative trade with a weak market, an absolute noob mistake - and one his fucking desk should have caught.
mircea_popescu: but whatevers, the us' has long gone to the monkeys.
mircea_popescu: "Hitting a market’s ceiling like this was something that none of my methodologies accounted for." << because going "hey, my primary's like 20bn, the unwind that might need could easily be 2bn in a week, the whole fuel market's maybe a fifth that, hey check this out I've propped a car with a toothpick overf here"
pete_dushenski: also "hey, check out the sweet gov of mex account we scored. brownie points all around!"
mircea_popescu: that part is right.
mircea_popescu: heck, the age of trade was driven by people trying to make their trading house matter more than the ministry of war where all the cavalry officers and junkers hung out.
pete_dushenski: when was the age of trade you speak of ?
mircea_popescu: 1500 to roughly 1750
mircea_popescu: the dictum "never get involved in a land war in asia" is mostly due to the fact that the portuguese were involved in a sea war in asia, and it worked splendidly for them.

pete_dushenski: british were in sea war with asia as well around the same time, ya ?
mircea_popescu: no. the british hadn't yet been invented at that point.
mircea_popescu: the dutch followed the portuguese, and after their conquest of the offshore platform and re-basing of their ships there....
mircea_popescu: "In other words, the Fed, by centralizing stress testing around its own approach, is incentivizing banks to follow suit, which may push them to accumulate similar exposures to one another and to manage them in similar ways, resulting in decreased diversification and increased risk. This is a question raised by particularly prescriptive rules like the Fed’s 5 percent hurdle, which are simple to monitor but may be just
mircea_popescu: as simple to game."
mircea_popescu: in other words, the us fed is managed way the fuck worse than b-a. because hey, the world is full of "physics phds" that went to fucking mit.
mircea_popescu: shoulda grazed sheep instead. learned more, at any rate.
pete_dushenski: not as many fillies at pasture
pete_dushenski: not the kind you'd take home to mom, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: And why his favored approach to stress testing (a technique called Bayesian nets) << oh lordy.
mircea_popescu: doesn’t involve trying to derive probabilities at all, but rather asks the user to just “produce your best-informed guess.” << and you'd love this precisely because of who you are, and where yo ulive, and what you want to be true.
