asciilifeform: by usg.
asciilifeform: but yes, none of this has anything to do with spectrum politeness and everything to do with 'them terrorists install non-usgificated firmware, handbuilt bsds even, this has got to stop'
asciilifeform: (of either amateur or usgistic variety)
asciilifeform: they were forbidden in usg enclaves almost immediately
a111: Logged on 2016-07-18 00:29 asciilifeform: it is known to me, for instance, that usg is presently spending stupendous sums on 'biometric' profiling of typing pattern, for as many victims as possible.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-17#1504301 << just the fact that "they were not attacking police deliberately" is now part of the list of factoids aparartchick has to insert into articles is indicative of just how fucking petrified teh usg is. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: think : who's raping who here ? the game is not "does usg rape us or doesn't it". it's "have raped it yet ?" not binary but unary, only one final state available.
asciilifeform: it is known to me, for instance, that usg is presently spending stupendous sums on 'biometric' profiling of typing pattern, for as many victims as possible. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'anarchist' won't upload his 13333337 w4r3z unless usg gives green light...
asciilifeform: or why wilson is convinced that usg will not answer simply by changing the rules so that ~barrel~, rather than magazine holder, is regulated;
asciilifeform: in other nyooz, lulzy usgtronic scam: http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-fake-biofuel-factory
asciilifeform: the way usg did nerve gases
asciilifeform: usg will pay generous pensions to 'piss christ' artists, 'sjw', lafond's hood rats, and other vermin, but ~not a penny for mathematics
asciilifeform: why would usg wish to dethrone erdogan ? did he threaten to leave nato, or wat
mircea_popescu: hanno boeck ( http://trilema.com/2016/psa-hanno-bock-still-a-deceitful-shitbag/ ) definitely hoax. turkish "coup", not hoax - major usg.dos success. as far as those go these days.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform & other interested parties : turkish usg nonsense firmly quashed, screenshot "mainstream" news sites if you wanna lulz art them later.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 21:03 asciilifeform: i'ma guess it now services usg (e.g., 'general dynamics' army laptops) solely.
mircea_popescu: so moved on to phase 2 of the usg.asset cycle, where he's now dormant and periodically fed contribution vomit.
mircea_popescu: i wish to buy caged "modern feminist" by the pound. eventually, usg WILL sell this product to me.
mircea_popescu: anyway - i wonder at what point of turning the vice around its ballsac, usg finally relents, admits that it is way the fuck cheaper and therefore better to be friends with the smart people, throws idiots to the dogs. so we get license to capture humanities majors from horseback on campus, and they get the default immunity they like to pretend they currently have.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 19:28 trinque: I criticize "USG" as a category; it barely defines anything
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 19:09 asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: recall that usg sits on top of egyptian pyramid - sized heap of fpga. why not, then, hijack an old, familiar scrypt-based altcoin, and proclaim 'see, YES WE CAN!111' etc
asciilifeform: i'ma guess it now services usg (e.g., 'general dynamics' army laptops) solely. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-15#1503282 << note that usg.crap is always "rape as marital bliss", "bankruptcy as wealth" etc etc. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: and yet i sit here, and usg does not.
pete_dushenski: you can only say that usg is 'literally' effective if you degrade the definition of effective to the point where it's what petrocheese is to french brie
pete_dushenski: right. and usg... doesn't win.
trinque: I criticize "USG" as a category; it barely defines anything ☟︎
trinque: "usg" launched a saturn v once
trinque: "sucks because usg" is blunt and useless analysis
trinque: "usg" is not a cohesive whole
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the usg that promulgates diddled ciphers which are then breakable with array of fpga, and the usg that puts my mail into the box across the street, are not same entity.
pete_dushenski: i hesitate to ask what usg understands 'cryptoanalysis' to mean in practical terms because it's hard to fathom that it can either think or act on such terms, but...
pete_dushenski: hard to believe that brokeback usg is spending $bn on anything useful just to store in industrial warehouse until majick ltc day cometh
asciilifeform: usg is ~sole buyer, everybody else - rounding error.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: is it clear to you that usg has edge with scrypt over chicoms ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: recall that usg sits on top of egyptian pyramid - sized heap of fpga. why not, then, hijack an old, familiar scrypt-based altcoin, and proclaim 'see, YES WE CAN!111' etc ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you don't think nsa lost, or usg lost, or any of the imperial heavenly legions ever lost.
asciilifeform: but in usg implementation, even ordinary rifle, recall, needs 50x the servicing anybody would expect.
asciilifeform: from pov of usg, rocket suffers from ww2 torpedo problem:
ben_vulpes: but like cold fusion, railguns keep usg contractors in the procurement pipeline.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-12#1501981 << the power of shitcoins : much like bitcoin makes everyone a bitcoiner, be they usg.nsa or whatever else, just so scamcoin makes everyone a scammer. they may start as "white hat" or "robin hood" or whatever, but in the end the dark nature of the item compels them. ☝︎
mats: also, what makes you think it was a usg rocket?
asciilifeform: supplied to usg's beloved pets, free of charge.
asciilifeform: but it entertains me to no end to learn that mircea_popescu buys into usgificated centralized faux-physics.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 16:29 asciilifeform: which is why you can get usg or eurounion to cough up $B for a crackpot machine, but not $1M for you to sit in a chalet in the alps and schrodingerate
mircea_popescu: reminiscent of how usg.software works. "so, you want openssh and utf-fonts via which package again ?"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: made anticommunism ~synonymous with wholesale usg-sponsored butchery.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 16:05 asciilifeform: and afaik, liberasty aside, k really did create a good chunk of the 20th c. usg-branded corpse pile. what sense it even makes to discuss 'war criminals' without his picture on it ?
asciilifeform: except, apparently, in usg
asciilifeform: which is why you can get usg or eurounion to cough up $B for a crackpot machine, but not $1M for you to sit in a chalet in the alps and schrodingerate ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'big machine physics' is 100% usgola.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: re. k, true that. and what with my home country being a usg bitch, i recall my high school's history teacher (who also was its director) being basically in love with kissinger, quoting him left and right and openly admiring him - incl. his person, i think. wonder if he still does the same. ah, good times..
asciilifeform: and afaik, liberasty aside, k really did create a good chunk of the 20th c. usg-branded corpse pile. what sense it even makes to discuss 'war criminals' without his picture on it ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: usg promises are worth slightly less than farts.
mircea_popescu: (this is yet another, if rather central, reason why plea bargains are so powerful, and http://trilema.com/2015/heres-what-they-dont-tell-you-when-they-bring-you-those-papers-to-sign/ ) : i couldn't give less of a shit what usg SAYS you did or didn't do or whatever. but if you say it yourself, well...
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron at the very least the devil can't testify. who cares what the usg thinks you've done, nobody's liable to ask it, nor may it likely acquire a voice without losing itself. ☟︎
danielpbarron: heh, really hard to say. I haven't been keeping in contact with him at all. Come to think of it I'd want to ask him ahead of time if he thinks registering a church with the USG is against the Word or not (he's not a big fan of USG -- prolly a plus)
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking scary thing there - he got all the good jews, leaving some shitty jews to fill the void. it's ~exactly what the usg did to the us : killed the competent mobsters, now there's inexplicable problems.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-16 02:38 mircea_popescu: in short : your notion that sitting with the usg is safe and joining the rebels is dangerous is fundamentally broken. sitting with the usg is safe except if the rebels get the upper hand.
a111: Logged on 2015-07-24 00:19 mircea_popescu: and i'll say this to assuage your doubts : i am the man who said "you are not safe, for we know where you live". a year and change later, reality has borne my saying : the entire usg employee list, leaked. etc.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-10#1500581 << how about, usg lost the capacity to protect its underbelly ; http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-16#798049 and other flondor discussions, http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-24#1211091 etc. ☝︎☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: kinda looking forward to the obvious application of usg drone depicted supra
asciilifeform: i heard that things might be a little different on mircea_popescu's planet, but on the one where i live, it is usg who does the givin' and the takin'.
asciilifeform: just as usg corruption ain't 'corruption', usg weapons are... 'peace sticks' or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how about taking away ALL weapons from ALL usg-paid ANYONE.
asciilifeform: so the search for mythical '100% reliable' mine is a distration. and a useful one, because it keeps usg from deploying the thing.
mircea_popescu: usg nightmare scenario is exactly this, highly defensive "everything's a fortress and with gun ports" bourgeois restructuring of the town.
asciilifeform: hey it isn't ro gold no moar, it is nato (usg) gold.
mircea_popescu: atm all hopes pinned on microsoft-sponsored "devcon" for the scamcoin. basically, mit can either get another usg agency involved or they're dropping it, they lost all they were gonna lose on it already.
mircea_popescu: possibly the most usg-tronic item in existence today. i'd rather have doberman patrols.
asciilifeform: or, elementarily, afghani, then iraqi, then libyan, then syrian, terrorists are usg-sponsored 'rebels' so long as they are setting the desired kind of controlledchaos fires.
asciilifeform: consider the usgtronic popular term 'failed state'
asciilifeform: incidentally, the embryo of modern usg was already quite discernible in shay's rebellion and whiskey rebellion
mircea_popescu: ie, the original idea was much more a la tmsr than a la usg.
mircea_popescu: unscrupulous swindler (ie, usg) promises the latter that he's representative of the former, meanwhile he doesn't even have film in the "camera".
mircea_popescu: and if there is, i'ma say what. not fucking usg, or for that matter pete rizzo.
asciilifeform: TheFactory7: point being, i have nfi why anyone here would care whether some derp somewhere implemented usg's kyc
mircea_popescu: usg wants to save poloniex (ie, the owners, while somewhat tools, dun wanna be all-the-way tools) so you know, it'll just delist ethereum and that's that.
BingoBoingo: Of course. Came out of USG.Stanford
BingoBoingo: Anyways there's also Ver's thing continuing along on all the Pinoy SEO USG.MIT can afford
ben_vulpes: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/07/the-secret-startup-saved-healthcare-gov-the-worst-website-in-america/397784/?single_page=true << http://www.govtech.com/civic/IT-Showdown-Tech-Giants-Face-Off-Against-18F.html << today on silly-con valley fanboi newzfeed: "obab saved software!" vs "corporations that actually own procurement in usg begin to unravel 'disruptions' to government software
a111: Logged on 2016-07-04 12:45 mircea_popescu: but anyway, asciilifeform 's prediction proceeding right on schedule. the "indepedndent" usg tool and "ethereum developer" finds time to discuss bitcoin as that "innovative project" burns to the ground. because truly it wasn't all about trying to fuck up bitcoin all along. nothing of the sort, ethereum was a serious effort by serious people with their own heads and etc.

BingoBoingo: ^ USG loves their 1980's branding tricks
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the usg counts "corruption" against me. i don't.
mircea_popescu: "nobody". the usg doesn't. i do.
mircea_popescu: it is an absurd situation, to hate the usg and propose "independent people" are the solution, then look at what "soberania y patria bla bla" idiots make and decide you'd rather see a slave empire in its place.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the issue : the flow was "ship to montevideo ferry to ba", but this changed recently, and likely to change more in the future. current president is usg tool and pretty firmly set on raping the locals
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, considerations of powers that wanna be, who really aren't, such as cixi wanting it to be "quiter than x" or hilary clinton wanting it to "not destroy usg because the us understood as usg was always great" will also not be considered.
asciilifeform: we laugh at usg's submarine-tankoplane.
asciilifeform: not usg?
mircea_popescu: i'm not about to import usg.retardation for any reason.
asciilifeform: for fuxxsake usg long ago dispensed with absolutes re evidential standards
asciilifeform: unless i catastrophically misunderstand, the point of 'can't connect event with physical box' is to make usg inquisitions prohibitively expensive
mircea_popescu: the botnets are a lot closer to the result, in practice, than usg ever got.
asciilifeform: and yes, it is on. i personally watched usg blow ~50mil on homomorphicola, to 0 result.
mircea_popescu: so, strategically, we (as in, humans, people, we) are confronted with an adversary (ie, socialist state, usg, aliens, the devil incarnate, pure evil, etc) that predicates its relevancy upon targeted computing denial (see http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-enforcement/ ; and also http://trilema.com/2015/mika-epstein-aka-ipstenu-is-a-thoroughly-clueless-poser/ re the ddos "we won't fix" and so on ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: the important thing is that usg's 1,000,000,001 emulated uci sybils should have no bearing on the workings of genuine nodez.
mircea_popescu: how to take usg seriously ? explain this to me.
