asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i worked in an otherwise inexpressibly-dire and usgtronic shithole briefly where there was ~office with whiskey~
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".

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.
mircea_popescu: no but srsly, people think this. as per http://trilema.com/2014/la-florida-and-other-places/ ; the whole unwashed orc hordes of the third world actually believe there's something to usgistan.
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
mircea_popescu: apparently this is obvious even to the pope of usgistan
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. )
asciilifeform: kinda lulzy usgism that these flags are separate; rather like an auto with 4 instead of 1 brake pedals
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: nah those get manna from usgheavens
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.

gabriel_laddel: Framedragger: fuck participating in the usg web / github / CC economy etc. ☟︎☟︎
gabriel_laddel: Framedragger: the infrastructure needed is somewhere to put them though. I have machines sitting in stanford's graphics lab (cameras everywhere) that will eventually host the IRC channel, but have nowhere to put them that isn't USG.NSA.YC.
jurov: you say it helps usg, how's that not being upset?
mircea_popescu: yes, i am saying that by keeping accounts you are empowering usg.
jurov: you are saying that by keeping accounts i empower usg or something?
mircea_popescu: and it disables who, usg ? not the other way around ? becauyse why, it's not seen happening (especially if you carefully don't look) ?
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/QGLqL << in other lulz, usg firing squads for... dogs - continue
mircea_popescu: lmao at usg complete unravel. kirby of state dept makes claims in public. op asks for details. kirby responds by claiming that he didn't make the claims he made and that "they've seen" "credible" reports from "aid organisations". which terms mean as follows "they've seen" = "some starving intern at random mfa blog pulled from ass" "credible" = "saddam wmd" and "aid organisations" = "hillary's friends children trafficing netwo
deedbot: asciilifeform rated the_scourge -2 at 2015/02/03 12:44:20 << dear usg, please send better clowns; the cheap ones are growing tiresome.
mircea_popescu: ejector runs you about half what the plane did lol. for some reason usg is fixated on them
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/dFQMj << also hilarious re promisetronix. 'usg.adobe now sells luser-friendly voice-faking proggy, but dun worry, if it doesn't have the USG FAKED VOICE WATERMARK, IT IS GENUINE!111111 voice'
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i have no time to read usg-ian cya documentations.
asciilifeform: possibly this is biggest thermonuke of usg idiot ops in recentl history.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: "force farmers to plan crops" << plant ? not sure that sucking usg.dole teet qualifies as planning.
mircea_popescu: lol someone still asks usgavin something ?
asciilifeform: eh even usg's db is what, 300M ?
asciilifeform: i.e. usg.dns but with new arse(s) in throne ?
asciilifeform: y'know, usg.dns queries outsourced to archive.is box is still dns..
asciilifeform: trinque: there is 'nexus of hierarchy' where we, e.g., study writings of mircea_popescu because they make sense and worth respect. and there is the other kind of hierarchy, where prb makes dns query using usg.glibc and internic root server is hardbaked into the code.
asciilifeform: if it looks like usg dns, you have lost. definitionally.
mircea_popescu: they built usg in not for any reason than because they WERE usg. postel's "oh noes - otherwise CHAOS" is exactly symptomatic. just like the arab mind can't quite comprehend how one who doesn't give a shit about allah may manage to drink from a cup, just so usgtards can't comprehend how one who isn't a socialist can at all live.
ben_vulpes: i suspect that i knocked their local usg rep into 'tilt mode' last night
mircea_popescu: hey. true social mobility ; as opposed to the factitious sort the usg promotes.
