mircea_popescu: pretty obvious alphabet co. maintains a whole department of "
usg cover provisioning"
mircea_popescu: obviously, "i choose to live in
usg" means... you chose to live in
usg. "but i had no other options". hurr.

usg CompanionCube wonders what the best key(s) to get phuctored would be.
USG/NSA''s? Intel/AMD's signing keys?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 22:15 asciilifeform: but there was that old mircea_popescu thread. where, approx, 'a dollar
usg collects from mr.pleb in tax isn't so that
usg can spend a dollar, it can spend $trillion, or ten, without collecting anything; it collects the dollar because otherwise mr.pleb will use it to bid up turkeys'
mircea_popescu: anyway, to not misguide noobs : litvenko,
usg agent that got murdered by the fsb in london, was poisoned with polonium. the alpha emitter effect of the metal, while present, was not necessarily. polonium is chemically toxic, much more so than cyanide, ld50 being in the microgram range (ie 1000ths of a grain of salt).
mircea_popescu: japan is actually finding itself in a very great conjuncture, reminiscent of early 1900s. both russia and china need it. the
usg... who cares.
mircea_popescu: if
usg asks for an apple, you bid a dollar, and nobody underbids you, they'll decide they must "inspect" to "investigate" etcetera, and won't you agree to a three dollar fine ?
mircea_popescu: if
usg asks for an apple and you bid a dollar and then they decide to define "apple" as a sack of potatoes, you owe two dollars in merchandise.
mircea_popescu: the scam is very fuinny in particular because
usg-run toshiba subsidiary westinghouse negotiated "fixed price" contracts with local baronies ; they happen to understate actual cost by at least 60%. unsurprisingly, the "undue enrichment" concepts were temporarily suspended. had it gone the other way, and toshiba managed to make off with 250% what it was owed, it'd be all "Corruption scandal" and whatnot, of course.
mircea_popescu: (basically, long story short,
usg financed a coupla units in georgia and ncarolina with japan's money, ain't giving it back. loss is whatever you want it to be, 3 to 10 bn)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other news, toshiba seems headed for the ex-bin. after the "we made up 7bn profits over the past 6 years and are really losing 5bn a year atm" 2016 lulz, they've announced a 3.5bn looting by the
usg this year.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't fall in not because hull, like boat, but because mutual reinforcement. which is imo the idea of "maintain world" for us too. clearly tmsr world will be bigger than
usg/whatever world. if it is also sufficiently rigid, gravity or seaworthyness are no longer considerations : it can't fall in because of itself not leaving room to.
mp_en_viaje: similar in that they're not covered by "patents" in the
usg misstatement of the concept ; similar in that they were originally produced by one man in his handmade lab glass ; similar in that they cost a quarter a yearly dose and solve an actual problem

☟︎ mircea_popescu: vs "
usg agency, why did you eavesdrop on trump and then lie about it and then lie about other things ?" "oh, WE ALWAYS DO THAT"
mircea_popescu: and the answer is, because twitter is part of
usg, not part of the internet.
mircea_popescu: typical campbell soup can strategy. "please agree
usg matters through the avenue of agreeing it's either
usg.corp1 or else
usg.corp2 ! engage the controversy!"
mircea_popescu: random
usg "company" that's supposed to matter in the sense that idiots will pretend so.
mircea_popescu: more like, the
usg is under the pressure to appear to be doing something, has settled on "chipping", ie, o noes if an eth splits off bitcoin that'll be bad for bitcoin!!!1

usg owns ; spent immensely on travel (which is not something they do). the chairman is supposed to not be removable by the president except "for cause" (meanwhile that got strick

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what'd the
usg love more than for it to fade! to become "technologies"! to etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am by now convinced that once so-called judge corpses start floating on the east river your retort will be "so what, everyone dies eventuallyt and everything ends up in a river eventually". which is fine and great for you, but makes for HORRIBLE qntra. because it's so indescribably fucking stupid, and because it's so indescribably fucking stupid in the exact manner that produced
usg.
BU_lulz: u guys think the
usg is pumping alt coins lately?
mircea_popescu: en) and, lulzily, they came up with a system to "guess" based on reasons (such as zip codes and last names) who is a black applicant for loans, and then fined various
usg agencies masquerading as banks by the 100s of millions for these alleged abuses. and they got it too, because settlement culture. and they didn't, of course, pay as much as a dime to the "estimated" victims, they being you know, "estimated" aka hallucinated,

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo o wow don't tell me the "bitcoin crashes because
usg postures re its own paper bitcoin-ersatz" thing failed to last the week
BingoBoingo: I kinda thought it would have went through because
USG needs more thrashing about in desperation.
mircea_popescu: this is a fundamental and inescapable problem of
usg-style hash functions. stuff like mpfhf mitigate THAT problem, but at a humongous cost.
a111: Logged on 2017-02-27 12:10 mircea_popescu: dude, they fucking gutted them. olympus agreed to pay the
usg ~70 billion yen in fines, and install obama's children as an "independent outside monitor". whole corp market cap being you know, 1.3trn or some shit. who the fuck pays 5% of the market cap as a fine already, what is this, Совет Экономической Взаимопомощи ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 18:24 asciilifeform: Framedragger: there was old thread with mircea_popescu , where he stated that
usg and china attempted it at same time, and perma-deadlocked
mircea_popescu: i said years back the race is won. but meanwhile the
usg utterly lost it, ot little concern of anyone, itself included.,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
usg really can't make anything. you're basically saying "siliconed botoxed cali chick could cook a decent meal." of course she could. of course she won't.
mircea_popescu: btw, the
usg is out in force advertising its ersatz bitcoin. "etoro" taking out google advertising on my own name (no doubt along million other strings) and so on.
jurov: "The
USG is Good, not Bad"
mircea_popescu: oh, is your girl the deep font of all the we-thought-it-was-specifically-alfish big-
usg conspiracism ?
mircea_popescu: the only difference between slavegirl in my household and
usg employee is that a) i whip mine and b) after a while they are sensibly better at everything. the
usg drones don't get whipped and don't improve.
mircea_popescu: dude fucks some kids,
usg files suit on the expectation that kidfucker is going to be so fucking impressed with them caring he'll sign anything they want. when this expectation fails to materialize,
usg asks judge to roll back time, "really for keepsies never happensies", judge agrees, on the rationale that maybe we fuck him later. dude... sticks around.
mircea_popescu: which nevertheless he will do, as per alf's "there's no shortage of
usg cowsies who WISH to be such."
ben_vulpes: in more lcs gold:
http://archive.is/XcC3N << not only are the damned things made of paper and disintegrate as soon as you drop them in the water, but the amount of money that the
usg.navy has burnt on them is actually so embarrassing as to be worth a classification fight
mircea_popescu: trinque but you need either to a) talk to people who might not mine your tx ; or else b) accept living in a
usg-run bitcoin world.

usg out of this japanese corp. the
usg however didn't go home, but started "legal proceedings", which eventually resulted in the above theft, plus whatever office supplies woodford managed to take home. apparently 6

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, this is the one where the idiot miners "updated" and then the update failed and then usgavin gave them some of the bitcoin
usg stole to compensate for the lost mining.
mircea_popescu: turns out
usg is more than happy to bomb a whole dc, or for that matter wedding party.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-25#1618154 << it's so funny, at least to me, the sheer wastage of resources
usg oligarchs engage in. they keep buying things, which they don't understand, on the expectation that "we;ll find a use for them". they do. it's ALWAYS the same one. somehow the fact that i know in advance what it'll be doesn't inform them as to their horrible strategic position.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: actually, the sentiment here is that ~all
usg code is just reused scraps of the same stale old crap. this sentiment is fed by you know, us having cut up the
usg toys numerous times and having run into the same bits.
mircea_popescu: would you propose the
usg "invisible fighter" program is "security through obscurity" ? because... it is.
mircea_popescu: and gpg is not very far off this ; neither are ALL
usg produced programs you are running.
mircea_popescu: turns out "the biftinex hack" was ~= same as "the mtgox blabla", ie
usg ran off with the coins ?
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough -- it is currently the case that deedbot's deeds list integrity is currently protected by republican design rather than by
usg's "cryptographic standards".
mircea_popescu: yes yes, except it's as far from a fact as it could possibly get. it is, in nucet, the HOPE of
usg "ai" work.
mircea_popescu: besides, if he has it on him, you know, like in a "sikrit place" like the whitehouse tree fort or under the covers, it could stagefright/illuminate teh "sikrits"
usg supposedly has.
mircea_popescu: none of your business in which jail are they. suffice it to be said that they aren't ever coming out. and whoever feels uppity in
usg "deep state" is very much next.
