asciilifeform: (from usg's pov -- afghan was to be conquered so to expand supply of heroin into ru, rather than to bring across the ocean)
BingoBoingo: I wouldn't call it quite a full checkmate. USG presently has a couple fortified points from which it can dispatch material for destruction thereby creating the "need" to buy more material to keep the MI bezzle loop looped
asciilifeform: afaik plain ol' checkmate. usg goes to afghan to pay tribute.
mp_en_viaje: it also provides ~useless "services" to usg.corps still living
asciilifeform: ( and ftr i suspect that orlol aint wrong when he suspects that ukrs + usg handlers might try an' stage an 'accident' to score 'humanitarian' aid )
mp_en_viaje: github-retardation/][github] or usg the topnode itself. these don't equally represent themselves, spuriously if ridiculously, as "serving users" that don't exist (and they don't serve), as having money they don't have (or for that matter understand) and so following. no, not them, just this one, exceptionally.
mp_en_viaje: . QUADRINGA, you see, not ~everyone~, but this one ~particular~ femstate agent specifically, represented itself. it's not EXACTLY IDENTICAL to the case of usg.okcupid or usg.fetlife or usg.airbnb or usg.[http://trilema.com/2013/the-poster-child-for-
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usg ministry of lulz is trying to push usgtronic 'pki' bgp. so, 1st gotta 'make weather', vandalize a bit, drum up interest.

mircea_popescu: whereas usg.blue reads not-at-all, never ever no matter what ; and usg.red reads always-aforehand. both of these idiocies, equally idiotic as they find themselves, are therefore always found in some uneasy truce. but you can't properly notate "read on 2nd pass" as "didn't read" or "won't read".
asciilifeform: (production -- dinged, but demand -- through the roof, usg is quite the 'marketing genius' on occasion )
asciilifeform: i expect it's structured exactly like other usg.'foundations'
mircea_popescu: and cornell's a notorious lolcow farm. and i don't teach HTWAWAOTSWCLR 101, thus "We learn from our mistakes. Few would take issue with this disctum. If it is more than merely a cliche, then it wouldseem of interest to epistemologists to inquire how knowledge is obtained from mistakes or from error." results in 62. Nicholas Rescher loses to Rudolf Carnap by 140–8, loses to Deborah Mayo by 38–27 Alan Musgrave loses to
mircea_popescu: usg.apple, aka not-apple. usg.*, === not-*
asciilifeform: hanbot: i suspect that the entire idea of centralized bulletin board for 'buy & sell coin' is as intrinsically usgistic as that of a gox (i.e. centralized coin/fiat exchange). it makes for an irresistible target, and is why all to date eventually were killed & replaced w/ honeypot taxidermy of self
BingoBoingo: Follow up with some less headlined but egregious USG sites will probably be baked in a couple months.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, punchline of the last one is that the worst sites in the US aren't on the list because USG.MIL
mircea_popescu: an' the relationship between THAT and the usgistani sadnesses is entirely like between historical penguin and extant penguin -- simple misnomerism.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-16 17:10 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo found it http://trilema.com/2016/usg-in-btc-a-history-of-constant-failure/#selection-39.0-39.51 <<
asciilifeform: very briefly in late 'vhs' era there was such sea of usg money that a select few folx managed to embezzle a little and do something substantial. but all evaporated, or, worse, relabeled with 'correctly aryan' names
asciilifeform: was a sort of usg in-miniature (unsurprising, perhaps, for it was a quite typical '90% of revenue is from usg' software circus )
asciilifeform: i dun know specifically why 'musted die', but in general usg favours the old telecom monopolies; plus prolly didn't help that 'ricochet' did not build gps into the modems and made it possible to pass packets directly over the mesh, i.e. 'potentially terrorist' net
asciilifeform: tbf not exactly new idea, various usgisms used as early as '80s

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-31#1916441 << why'd have kgb given shit re dood killing usg.blue man ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, a yeah, the silence of the classic nuke sub. usgistani agitpropo makers never get this right, from capra's submarine all the way to star trek there's always endless pointless chatter, and bridge bunnies. no such thing in reality.
mp_en_viaje: apparently he's been working for usg.blue this whole time.
BingoBoingo: ^ In still other USG lulz
mp_en_viaje: in other usg lulz : back in 2010 there was romanian gavin : https://kingofromania.com/2011/12/31/the-foot-of-the-ladder/
mp_en_viaje: imagine, if say the usg were sold on the market. do you think it'd either be closed in two days, or just discontinued for being shit ?
asciilifeform: i vaguely suspect that it may have been the original usg-'standards committee'-powered explicitly-organized nobus generator

mircea_popescu: gotta put this shit on record before it "disappears", it's just too fucking lulzy stylistically : https://crji.org/?idT=88&idRec=5069 (source is this wanna-be respectable usg.blue character assassination project, made in the usual amerikanski fashion -- on the cheap by local orcs. very fashionable among the ro pantsuit crowd)
BingoBoingo: Well, if 1950's USG said "Fuck College financing, GI bill's gonna send our veterans of foreign wars on foreign vacations"... Maybe education wouldn't have been so pantsuited
BingoBoingo: Then again USG does college loans and not Machu Pichu loans. Now there's the situation where comparatively cheap Machu Pichu is a more reliable class signifier than college degree. Should have done it the other way around.

asciilifeform: not quite ~this~, naturally, but -- interacted. idjit sovok brass could've, e.g., left usg 100% without titanium any day of the week. ( but didn't , just had to have that delish usd.. )
asciilifeform: usg : 'and naao, to prove that yer a loyal cockeater, lop off left arm' uk : 'will do'
mp_en_viaje: in other lulz, Teresa H. Shea, last mentioned in 2014 (for siphoning usg money through husban's inqtel) now "working" for raytheon.

BingoBoingo: And the crime where all of the fine goes to the USG's extortion reception bucket with the matter declared settled after payment to not the injured parties.
asciilifeform: to take simply 1 example, asciilifeform's mains socket even nao is connected to... sovok pu, sold at fire sale price in 1990s to usg
asciilifeform: right. so per this extended model, even tho on paper broker 'breaks even', he is still chump, as e.g. lives in reich where usg can steal his brick castle on a whim
asciilifeform: on acct of some ancient and obscure bureaucratic degree, usg has ~two~ nsa, 1 usual and 1 that does sats
asciilifeform: btw there was an actual Official similar www for usg civil service. in, naturally, microshit 'asp', erry other page load was eggog
mp_en_viaje: pretty much all of the "web 2.0" usg."tech" stuff peaked cca lehman brothers days.
asciilifeform: nicoleci: iirc this was a usg.valley play at 'arsebook, but for work, make it so that plebe can't find work if we kick him off site'
mp_en_viaje: apparently those are easy to get, in usgistan. then again... long standing tradition, who still recalls the "tribes" genius.
asciilifeform: right, sorta how nyc aint officially usg capital
mp_en_viaje: see, it's not "collaborators" that are needed. it's people brave enough to go into room and maybe get shot. for pantsuitism! where the fuck can such be had ? russia couldn't produce anymore for afghanistan than usg could for vietnam.
mp_en_viaje: this guess is also well buttressed by texas, new mexico, arizona and southern california "law enforcement" experience -- all it took for the usg to abandon the southern provinces was for the cartel to frown.
asciilifeform: in usa, 'future of policing' is prolly http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-26#1072977 ; in usg periphery like nz, i expect soon enuff they'll just drop 500kg bomb from air and write down 'today neutralized terrorist compound' etc ☝︎
asciilifeform: ^ in related noose, reportedly 'everspin', the 'magnetic ram' people , is tanking. which on one hand is sad, 'eeprom that dun wear out' is imho neat and moar or less required for sane computer . but on other hand, perhaps usg.patentholder co. gotta die for the thing to become economically viable
a111: Logged on 2018-12-18 23:03 asciilifeform: usg used a fleet of bolix boxen for gulf war I logistics, and fuck knows what else, so in some dusty beetleman's desk it is 'coloured' as 'strategic', and so it gets passed from mallery to mallery.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 21:22 asciilifeform: 'tis hilarious, this seq. of amputations. the capitalists, terrified of urban unionized workers, abolished... industry, and work. ( replaced with 'office plankton' system. ) result is present-day usgistan.

lobbes: hm, yeah, I guess so. Same as in usg; all independent harware shops disappearing
asciilifeform: in other noose, amd 'family 22' cpu (i.e. where they introduced fritz core in 2013) has obvious breakage in 'usg.random' instruction (also introduced then, in footsteps of intel) : https://archive.is/BMJwJ
asciilifeform: there's nuffin physically impossible about baking an arm (or mips etc) board that eats socketed ecc ram. but there seems to be a de-facto usg fatwa against'em, or sumthing

asciilifeform in 2010-12 'surely usg will muster king's horses and king's men' days , did not expect it to look like gavin, expected moar microshit-style 'embrace&extend', e.g. 'ibm bitcoin client' or sumsuch
asciilifeform: if tokkotai brigade had somehow formed in '41, and not '44, when ~nuffin left with wings still attached, could have easily sunk entire usg navy.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo,"These USG tantrums lacked any self awareness as details of the plot failed were spilled to the extent that any plausible deniability of the USG's leadership of the plot is undeniable." >> "Besides ample unintentional comedy, the childish lack of self awareness from which these USG tantrums stem renders impossible any sort of deniability of USG's "leadership" (or more properly, dreamership) of the remarkably braindamaged plot."

asciilifeform: dorkmarkets consist on 1 end of usg honeypot and on other, of redditards entirely tired -- apparently -- of living , is afaik all there is to it
a111: Logged on 2018-11-24 19:51 mircea_popescu: i ~suppose~ one manner of handling this is the followingf convention : patches to be acquired from $key/gns/ dir, for all keys in the seals ring. so it'd look for "6160E1CAC8A3C52966FD76998A736F0E2FB7B452/gns" which is not a "valid" domain per usg.verisign "rules" however it DOES resolve in our own system. because we can put ips on anything we want.
asciilifeform: lol, wai would they 'yield'. usg prints moola by the gigatonne, gives'em just like gives to microshit. a++ 'biznismodel'. aand nao finally banned competing chinese router ( which, lulzily, is mostly indistinguishable from cisco in any way that matters )
asciilifeform: phunphakt, moar usg army d00dz during iraq years, dead on 'harley' than in the field. 1 way to perma-escape 'dependopotamus'...
mircea_popescu: yet usg is not to blame.
asciilifeform: *usg banned

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-26#1910040 <<< http://trilema.com/2015/so-the-broomstick-fired/ and then of course 2013 and etcetera. USG dept of lawls and lowlz. who knows, one day they'll actually do something such that someone somewhere could take them seriously. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Do the cocaine folks want Maduro or USG.CIA who will surely steal their product and attack them.
mp_en_viaje: but anyway, pretty epic case of co-opting usg.blue's "orange revolution" material into court fucktoy / clown. i suppose he got the typically pantsuit fake opposition as cheaply as could be had.
BingoBoingo: The USG-ist appearing candidates are the second place guy in the National Party, some fat old Potato whose name begins with L and the other Colorado Guy. Some cuck named Talvi.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dunno what is this mythical beast, a 'phree' gift from usg
asciilifeform: tbf ~same can be said for usg, where -- similarly -- the only '100% uptime' items are pdp11/microvax/etc where likewise '70s-'80s lsi and likewise no net etc
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 03:37 mircea_popescu: Mocky, there's a usg-reservation in mexico. there's however also the headquarters of the only military force to humiliate the usg at home to date, they pretty much conquered the old mexican lands well into arizona.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 22:40 asciilifeform: i suppose could even argue that the chinese chip folx suffer from a variant of this -- they drank enuff usg.coolaid to begin to think that they, too, could 'make money from intellectualproperty(tm) just like miami'
a111: Logged on 2019-03-07 22:33 mircea_popescu: this is the truth pantsuit vehehehery carefully tiptoes around every time they're "discussing" usg's foreign policy outlay : usg is a chinese vassal, it has to ask for permission.

asciilifeform: china, in case anyone was thick enuff not to yet notice, is not therepublic; it's a cheap chinesium clone of 'vhs' usg.
BingoBoingo: Just wondering what a market could look like if USG didn't burn a trillon or so over the decade promoting shit
BingoBoingo: Right, the problem with megashops subsidizing the milk to kill small shops pops up here. Whatever it costs is undercut by USG financing Intel and other shitgnomes in the space.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-13#1908481 << the time for his supporters to 'support' was ~before~ he ended up in the mousetrap where kept warm for usg for 7y ☝︎
