☟︎ 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
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.
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.
ben_vulpes: mats:
usg and data in the same sentence, hyuuu
mats: if only
usg published c-ram data from iraq
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.
mircea_popescu: "what's he to do" only counts for lords of the republic - not of
usg peons.
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.
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
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.
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".
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.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger well, maybe that'll make someone somewhere believe these matter!
usg doing its best to support teh economy.
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.
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.

usg web / github / CC economy etc.
mircea_popescu: the incredible audacity of the
usg assets. really, they are STILL pushing tor ?
mircea_popescu: see alf, all these people proposing an end to
usg are such lunatics and dope fiends.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform certainly happened,
usg is primarily known as a drug dealing criminal organisation.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right. because
usg always says the same thing.
mircea_popescu: but in general speaking,
usg.koch blessed us with an idiocy which has to be resolved somehow.
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.
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"
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!")

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: needless to say, the most
usg will ever collect on that is as many bullets as its agents can carry.
