mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think we should just stop playing now, dat
usg is just too competent.
mircea_popescu:
usg does not exist and is not held here to signify anything but the "collective abject idiocy" aka "the female mind" aka "the community consensus" etc. it is specifically NOT the case that there exists something even vaguely in the vein you think of (ie, a powerful and directed, self-conscious
usg, the "lizard hitler" or such)
mircea_popescu: that's the whole comedy, and it's playing again and again and again and again. republic decides us elections ?
usg claims putin did it!
mircea_popescu: so then, this exact idiocy repeats itself time and again. 1.
usg.apple tells ustards to use $item-which-sets-all-passwords-as-p-independent-of-user-input ; 2. ustards do. 3. republic owns them, and puts them to whatever use more adequate to their tard genes, such as fap fodder, lulzcow, whatever. 4. the
usg comes up with a color of your bits "goes without saying".
mircea_popescu: "i was in the situation room" hillaric clinton's case was no different ; just that in the case of that old hag /
usg asset nobody is interested in ass.
mircea_popescu: she did this, no matter how stupid, because
usg told her to ; and when
usg says, she does, no matter how stupid. this is the core of her identity, she's not a woman, or a person, or a mother, or anything. she's, first and foremost, good soviet ; and anything else to the degree there's space (and
usg tells her to).
mircea_popescu: but, be that as it may, overflows are actually republic/other fiats speciality. it's how the
usg gets owned in general.
mircea_popescu: the above being the ENTIRETY of "
usg cyberwarfare capacity" by the way. that it got idiots (schneier, koch, weimer etc), to write software that sets p as password everywhere independent of user input and then ten million imbecile lusers to use that "because it's what everyone does" where everyone is so defined to exclude everyone sane.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform rd is definitionally not heart of
usg. try "health and human services expert analyst"
mircea_popescu: the funny thing being that nonsense converges. "civil" and "common" law systems end up giving almost identical "solutions" to the same problems notwithstanding they start from opposite priors. similarily, life of
usg mandarin is very much like life of say japanese company man.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you also don't have the sort of job they do. what's office drone in heart of
usg do, something TO STAND OUT ? holy shit.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: perhaps under explained in "if you accept the thesis" where <thesis> is entire stack of
usgola. yes, 401kholder seeks to eat cheese, turn around put money into house do all the clever tricks with it. also many don't! and many like myself look at the whole thing as a stupid intellectual complexity trap not worth entertaining.
mircea_popescu: the only hostis humani generis are the anonymous
usg tools. the gavin-koch-weimer-boeck-younameit.
mircea_popescu: that's what it pretends to be ; what it is i nfact, at least to my eyes, is more of the same
usg social-democracy.
mircea_popescu:
usg.starbucks doing its part to fight the "rapey mp coffee".
mircea_popescu: this is ~why fcc-like authorities exist. to forbid the
usg to buy and derp like this.
trinque: it's not like AWS is *more*
usgtronic than namecheap et al
a111: Logged on 2017-01-19 16:28 mircea_popescu: yep.
usg banks won't do intl wires, for a decade+ now
mircea_popescu: conversely of course, every dollar you do take out of the us hurts the
usg considerably ; i'd guess the going rate is 130k expatriated is about equivalent to shooting a nypd officer in the face.
mircea_popescu: trinque "sales" here means
usg sops style nothing, like obamacare isn't a tax. his thing was mentioned once on a forum with 3k "registered users".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "leverage ecosystem" ie, "someone else will do our work for us" is very much
usg.dos style, but also very much hopeless. seriously, they'll leverage ?
mats: 'accidentally' bombed a refugee camp like
usg accidentally bombed a chinese embassy
mircea_popescu: Ingolfr_Arnarson if you don't like the
usg messing with you, the solution is emplaced m-2 machine guns and zirconium-based armor-piercing/incendiary rounds. not silly pngs.
mircea_popescu: it turns out on meditation that the blue-and-red
usg as a matter of practical gnosis stands doubled by the subjective-objective vs need-want spurious equivalences. the charade promises "girls" that what they think is what is ; AND boys that what they want is what they need.
mircea_popescu: seems pretty much the only reasonable play.
usg is beyond fixing, so steal as much as possible.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-17#1604368 << "gender" has no bearing on the "indentity politics" construction of "gender". what mattered was that private bradley edward manning was with the
usg.dos and against the
usg.dod. as it doesn't look likely
usg.dos will even survive the trump terms, let alone ever again come to preminence, they'll do anything.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyways, to round off the whole linux/bsd, esr/rms/etc angle : at any point the Moterhood (be it implemented in practice as "the
USG" or "the public opinion" or "the church of England" or whatever the fuck - there will exist a conclave of the lazy, stupid and covetous, and it will be somewhat politically influential and appear VERY politically influential much like to the small children the mother appears truly awesome in her
mircea_popescu: he literally imagines that the difference isn't for the obvious reason (
usg decided to push x rather than y) but for some sort of self-aggrandizing "it's something we did which unwittingly made the cave walls move this way".
mircea_popescu: so, yet again : either you know computers, today, in which case you don't need the "open source"
usgtards ; or else you don't know computers, today, in which case YOU NEVER WILL. period. no escape, no buts, no nothing. you NEVER WILL. and consequently it fucking does not matter one diddly what you do, be it github or reddit or writing lengthy missives to asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: o mention ancient strongholds of
usgism such as kock-gpg, tor or (again) openssl are being butchered left and right. the attempted anti-bitcoins failed to catch on.
mircea_popescu:
usg came up with idea of hiding the tax burden under spurious headings, dorks imported it somehow. then ten years later "obamacare is not a tax". sa mori tu ?
mircea_popescu: hence all the "gotta educate the public". their process of "education" consists of taking healthy youths and spitting out useless drones. now if only this process could be extended to anything other than placid, cowardly middle class youth, the world would suddenly be habitable for the
usg!
mircea_popescu: and for the "we all agree" (that "sexual harassment is a thing" or "words hurt" or whatever other nonsense du jour) engine to work, the strict requirement is for "everyone" to be entirely a set of
usg drones. it's not even enough to pad theroom, it must be filled.
mircea_popescu: in any case the
usg "tax code" or "legal code" or any other pile of
usg-specific idiocy is NOT a schelling point.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 15:11 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

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
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: we're talking
usgpennies here
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: well yes, but you said "between
usgola and dangerous homebrew crypto"
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.
