mircea_popescu: and i must be able to figure out the state by looking at the url, which is why POST is not better than GET but much, MUCH worse, and why it was pushed as part of "ssl", typical usg-tardism ☟︎
ben_vulpes: if i tell him there was an ice or crypto or ruin of usg thread he'll eat a few weeks in one sitting
gabriel_laddel_p: my mistake: usg.altman, not usg.maga
gabriel_laddel_p: http://rigetti.com/ < USG.MAGA also uses CL, though I'm not clear on the particulars atm
mircea_popescu: us state media managed to catch up with the usg's dept of human feeding's record : hamburger with meat ~70 ppm, news with meat ~70 ppm, it's all good and all the same.
asciilifeform: if you successfully connect, you give the other side a sample of your keystroke timings, which for some reason usg is obsessed with
mircea_popescu: i don't care. there's no need for each individual item to be discussed. guy exists today because of the yahoo marketing ponzi scheme pre 2001 bubble. nfi why he's not in jail, but it is a shameful macula on the usg "justice" system.
mircea_popescu: once that appears, the usg as you know it goes away.
asciilifeform: difference (at least afaik, from armchair) is that ru would have to actually fight, but usg would only need to press a few buttons and turn off the (u.s.-made) air defense systems of s.a.
ben_vulpes: mats: usg and data in the same sentence, hyuuu
mats: if only usg published c-ram data from iraq
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would that be in actual btc-that-usg-somehow-had ? or in 'could-have-hads' (riaa-style accounting..?)
asciilifeform: the locktime thing is simply a hint that says 'usg-compliant miners, PLEEEZ dun mine this until block X'
mats: asciilifeform: best part is the tacit omission that usg can be owned by 6 year old with five bitcents to rub together
mircea_popescu: and for the record : the dood colluded with sonny vleisides / the rest of the 'ndrangheta running "bfl" scam (which, obviously, the usg hasn't ever prosecuted, in spite of loud violation of, eg, parole termas, because hey, partners in crime) to falsely claim that he received a miner delivery so as to scam bitbet into misresolving a bet, on which they had ~500 btc.
mircea_popescu: iirc this even made it to qntra, because the usg.dept of legal pretense's failure to act was exactly just as much damning of the whitehouse website based in maryland as of the bitfinex website based in nowhere.
asciilifeform: also what is one to do with the list of internal usg names for various trojans
asciilifeform: 'sharing is caring' (tm) (r) (usg)
mircea_popescu: the usg has no aesthetic content
asciilifeform: only -- no usg.
mircea_popescu: "what's he to do" only counts for lords of the republic - not of usg peons.
asciilifeform: there are surely people other than mircea_popescu and asciilifeform who -- have interest in subj + have the theoretical pre-reqs + seriously ready to get their hands dirty + not thralls of usg
mircea_popescu: anyway, to create the up-node : "stop doing stupid shit" is the universal pill to de-usg the world. stop doing stupid shit with crypto, as contemplarted here, there's no nsa nor any possibility of nsa. stop "plea bargain"ing, there's no us justice system. stop using us banks, there's no us finance. stop chasing the web-revolutionary-app-nonsense, there's no "us technical lead". stop trying to marry women there's no "5th wave
mircea_popescu: which is why the republican strategy in sociopolitical cryptography is to isolate the nsa assets - the kochs and dreppers and schneiers + a bevy of small fry boecks etc. let them sit on hacker news and upvote each other to death, but otherwise, outside of the usg reservation, they may not opine and they may not be used as reference.
asciilifeform: the political history is also rather interesting (it was on track to winning the 'aes competition', received fewest thumbs-down votes from the panelists, but mysteriously torpedoed by usg and did not win) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: there's an important business strategy point here that's not discussed among the chickens, but hark : it is actually a better business strategy to sell to isis than to us consumer - because isis is still on the ground in spite of usg shooting missles at it ; whereas us consumer is barely standing in spite of usg pumping all it can print straight into him.
Framedragger: unless latest unity is really broken and all-too-usg, in which case, okay :(
mircea_popescu: did you just say "it doesn't work but it's the usg.offer for the space and therefore it must be respected" ?
mircea_popescu: and plox do not tell me "i just assumed it does because it is the usg.this-thing and i automatically assume the usg.this-thing in all cases and for all things offers".)
mircea_popescu: the judge ate it, of course, but let it be pointed out this is so fucking ridiculous as to defy any reason. there is NO information privy to the USG that is secret from the world, except by case of obscurity.
mircea_popescu: the usgians of course don't want him to be released, so they have this parole thing where he can't leave the us "for five years" and "can't use internet or give interviews" etc. the stance was challenged a few months ago on the correct basis that "nothing he stole or could have stolen 30 years ago is still secret today". nevertheless clapper chose to perjure himself by swearing for the judge that on the contrary, the usg actu
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : jonathan pollard, a guy who stole and sold (to israle, and to others) all sorts of holies of the usg (including the nsa's utterly ridiculous 5k page manual on "how to conduct signals intelligence" - no part of which is actually useful in practice much like satoshi's bitcoin miner code is not used by any actual bitcoin miners) was released in 2015 (with much gnashing of teeth, because back whgen he was conv
BingoBoingo: WAS, stooges tend to lose their toughness when the age out of the stoogery in USG land
BingoBoingo: Anyways USG stooges don't age well
mircea_popescu: the net effect being that it'd take three determined people a few weeks to reconstruct $usg.project's software.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger most of the usg corps steal foss and posture as a business strategy.
asciilifeform: usg has become such a loathesome and monstrous thing, that there is no fixed set of 'enemy', every earthworm in every step of ground it steps on, becomes enemy
mircea_popescu: the applications to eg banking are beyond lulzy. but they're willing to destroy the currency (currency ? what currency ? dollars don't pay nothing, it's notes from hitler if you want anything done) to try and prop it up because outside of usg.ai there's nothing
mircea_popescu: basically, the ~one hope of the imperial technologistic church of some sort of practical results is a peculiar form of ai. they're doubling down on it exactly in the manner usg doubled down on "alternative fuels".
a111: Logged on 2016-12-24 14:39 mircea_popescu: in other lulz : http://www.forbes.com/sites/nataliesportelli/2015/08/24/meet-the-millennials-crowdfunding-their-college-tuition no longer exists. do you suppose this is because a) it turned out that no idiot millenials tried this or b) because the scamsites pretending to be offering a service involved complained to the usg dept of scamsites which then passed a hitler note to the usg dept of scamnews ?

mircea_popescu: it's not just that the guy's ~not~ part of embassy usg. it's that he's a) pissed publicly on the very faces of the kids of the helicopter moms that make up embassy usg and b) is independently wealthy / intelligent enough to not give the slightest shit about them and their wine parties.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu takes the patch, writes it in corpses of usg soldiers in the desert, photographers come, it is printed in every paper in the world; now -- ordered.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger well, maybe that'll make someone somewhere believe these matter! usg doing its best to support teh economy.
asciilifeform: they used to be usg-only
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski speaking of which - i didn't use "spreadsheets" like the fucking usg tards ( http://trilema.com/2012/law-enforcement-never-fails-to-unintentionally-entertain/ ) or for that matter wordperfect 5.1 ; nor did i have any use for a pdf maker. the whole article came out of an awk and a sort
asciilifeform: from whence this 'presumption of innocence' for usg scum.
mircea_popescu: this absolutely requires smarter guy on the usg side shot. and there will be some shooting. thing is there's not that many competent dudes on us side.
asciilifeform: mats: usg certainly would not like anything like diplomacy to carry on between ru and tr
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, gavin&friends nuked the historical codebase (was on sourceforge, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.19/ was first announced version) because "moving to github", gotta be proper usg tools and all. then github of course includes nothing but their current crap.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand how software works. there's a very clear denied middle : it is either the product of a ~lone individual~, or else of a corporation. there is no multiple-people-work-without-usg-foundations-and-crap in most people's minds, because there isn't such a thing is most people's experience.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1585322 << the linked piece suggested that he was properly broken by the jailers, walks around terrified that even his usg-issued winblows comp is too much of a sin ☝︎
asciilifeform: very much cheaper, esp. since cost of breeder, properly accounted, includes obliteration of usg AND petrolizards
asciilifeform: 'professional ethics' in usg schmuckdom is a ball of lulz. for instance, when asciilifeform was slaving for usg, he worked in the chemical weapons program. which of course he could not have worked in, because nixon cancelled it, and asciilifeform was never 'security cleared' !!11111 but oh, apparently ~antidotes~ are not weapons! despite the obvious use for the type of antidote that was funded (eat it, release gas, then fight without

asciilifeform: (though it did give usg a good run for its money, first)
mircea_popescu: the incredible audacity of the usg assets. really, they are STILL pushing tor ?
asciilifeform: lockheed, grumman, general dynamics, et al, were creatures of usg from day1
mircea_popescu: see alf, all these people proposing an end to usg are such lunatics and dope fiends.
asciilifeform: i will admit to having serious doubts that building 'like google in 2001, and stays that way!111' is technologically possible -- it is an inherently centralized animal and will grow usg barnacles regardless of who builds it or where it is kept
asciilifeform: which is why usg fought the afghan war
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform certainly happened, usg is primarily known as a drug dealing criminal organisation.
asciilifeform: it's the ~only reason usg bothers to ban dope
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: cia & co. (i.e. ACTUAL usg) dealing dope, is old ooooold noose
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right. because usg always says the same thing.
mircea_popescu: it's in no way different from "usg bans smoking".
mircea_popescu: but in general speaking, usg.koch blessed us with an idiocy which has to be resolved somehow.
asciilifeform: i do not want to sign a 'insert usg turd here!' even if theoretically the instruction is not followed on extant renderer
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-11#1581194 << "gpg dying" in usg speak is "tmsr is taking control of gpg" and no more. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( it is not clear to me that rsa-abused-as-symmetriccipher is in any way worse than to use the idiot usg ciphers. )
mircea_popescu: that the niggers won't listen to usg is one thing - they get the TB treatment (body reaction to koch's bacile is to build walls, literally of calcar, around bacile ghettos in the lungs). who cares, 10% of the pop and concentrated in the poor south / poor urban areas. but by now the hippies don't listen either ? young whites ? that's becoming dangerous.
mircea_popescu: it's very strictly speaking a transfer of raw, unadulterated power from the bureaucrats to random anonymous gurus and other populist figures. that trump stole hillary's cake is one thing ; but that the ability of usg department to dictate discrete behaviour in regards to whatever topic is decaying because the ability of joe videoblogger's ability to dictate same is increasing... now that smarts.
mircea_popescu: in the end, through whatever means, they do the same thing, and the problem is slowly growing and getting noticed. just another one of the countless and uncountable ways in which the us becomes ungovernable for the usg.
mats: 80 years of usg bezzle-gdp from what year to what year?
mircea_popescu: let it also be noted that 1 billiard is the usg bezzle-gdp for about 80 years, and it becomes rather evident : nothing the shitstains of today can do could even conceivably come to matter.
asciilifeform: mats: and every other obligation usg will gleefully default on, like fdr on his gold bonds
mats: http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-to-forgive-at-least-108-billion-in-student-debt-in-coming-years-1480501802 << holy shit, where is usg going to find 100bn
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no. and this confusion between fact and fiction driven by the engineering perspective that "oh it is a fact TO ME" eventually ends up with usg and the "fact" of "fake media"
asciilifeform: only idiots sitting in caves and each watching unique apocryphal usg film of his own.
asciilifeform: 'spacex' is every bit as usg as nasa, but is part of the 2000s 'lean usg', if you will, concept; sorta like thiel's palantir is 'lean nsa'
asciilifeform: well judge for yourself -- usg 'demoocracy'-spreading via twatter/arsebook/etc was successfully zapped. and no, not merely via 'great wall', but it was 'part of the balanced diet' of how.
mircea_popescu: (for the innocent : there was a 2015 "we'll take mosul in spring" thing, also. you never hear anything about it today BECAUSE the key of usg behaviour is exactly http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523269 : they make one a year. if this year's fails then "it never really happened" ; if it succeeds then "see, we always win, told you so!") ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'cocaine -- vodka' gives you usg.
asciilifeform: the things usg spends 'military' moneys on, are only with difficulty and vigorous anal pear cranking stretchable to call 'military'
asciilifeform: trinque: usg luuuuvvvs jihadis and every other kind of orc berserker for so long as they set fires around ru, and keep the cn and ru bases out of near east an' africa.
asciilifeform: if my lai massacre happened today, usg may well simply 'accidentally' all of the witnesses.
mircea_popescu: (evidently, not going to apply to usg-stolen domains)
asciilifeform: there is the 'engine' and the 'chrome', i.e. the actual motive ideology, vs the window-dressing. similar to usg's 'hyooman rights!1111' chrome, around a 'market for hollywood and cocacola' engine.
asciilifeform: megatonne of dross that no sane folk use, sitting there only to wait to admit usg tentacle
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2016/11/usg-navy-loses-more-personnel-information/ << Qntra - USG.Navy Loses More Personnel Information
trinque: not that usg.dns is in my wot...
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-23#1572554 << eh it isn't as if panama were a sovereign country. usg takes what it wants there, incl. presidents ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-11-20 22:39 mircea_popescu: speaking of this, and re http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-18#1569760 : a) it was actually exactly the same usg pays via min wage (out of private pockets, but w/e, usg is the REAL government, not the republic hurr durr) and b) it made people do sensible things such as making pgp keys. a certain ammount of this "wash yourself" "read a book" basic training will have to be done forcibly, because ontogenesis may follow philogenesis,

mircea_popescu: the point where hillary talked to the WRONG set of 9bn-worth corps with 9 employees, ie the failure of the usg to elect its candidate has exactly to do with the elites deserting it in favour of the republic, ie http://trilema.com/2016/to-be-clear-hillary-clinton-lost-the-presidential-election-on-june-16th-2016/
asciilifeform: usg.dns does not give this 'serve from somewhere else.' deliberately.
mircea_popescu: needless to say, the most usg will ever collect on that is as many bullets as its agents can carry.
