asciilifeform: dunno about that, good chunk of mit income is direct usg grantolade
mircea_popescu: it is NOT a usg crown hedgefund anymore than romania was a soviet property.
asciilifeform: it's a usg crown hedgefund. in what sense does it not serve hitler ?

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (for n00bz who think 'it is impossible to be sacked from usg' - it is actually very easy. one merely has to be employed as a contractor, of whom there is a dozen or two for every actual 'civil servant', and then you can be fired any hour.) << Or appointee (i.e. patronage position)
asciilifeform: for some reason, every orc has, flashed into his firmware, this secret dream of becoming usg bureaucrat.
asciilifeform: (for n00bz who think 'it is impossible to be sacked from usg' - it is actually very easy. one merely has to be employed as a contractor, of whom there is a dozen or two for every actual 'civil servant', and then you can be fired any hour.)
asciilifeform: though he worked for 58 years for usg and was in 'plum book' (emeritus, or whatever the heathens call it)
deedbot-: [Qntra] Government Accountability Office Declines To Offer Opinion On Worthless USG Finances - http://qntra.net/2016/03/government-accountability-office-declines-to-offer-opinion-on-worthless-usg-finances/
mircea_popescu: nah, usg doesn't figure into this as much as a prince albert.
asciilifeform: usg payola?
asciilifeform: (what, it costs usg to print more 0s after decimal point ?)
mircea_popescu: well, basically the story of eth is, "what if we made a b-a, except not on irc but in a spare closet at a usg-sponsored university, and we tried to get idiot kids on reddit excited and inept javascript developers contributing code and MAKE A BETTER BITCOIN in the sense that it'll suck where bitcoin hurts us."
asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/usg-apple-edny-029.pdf << lulz! apple 'wins'
ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=27-02-2016#1416923 << this girl i'm rather fond of convinced me that it wasn't a half-bad way to spend thirty years while my brain rots building apps for various usg tentacles. ☝︎
asciilifeform: quite possibly everything else that usg does is preparation for this exam.
asciilifeform: usg has an interesting relationship with the thing
asciilifeform: the 'hot' folks managed to strangle the 'cold' for the usg pig trough fight, yes.
asciilifeform: proving that it is eminently possible to be eaten alive by fungus ~without~ working directly for usg.
mircea_popescu: there is really little cause to discuss usg behaviours in any other terms, and there's very good cause to NOT discuss it in the terms usg itself comes up with.
asciilifeform: 'DoJ is required to cloak NSA-CIA capabilities by pretending full sharing does not take place. Redacted and excluded filings and decisions by DoJ, district, appeal, SCOTUS and FISA courts along with open and classified executive orders by and POTUS, and best of all, classified contracts, implements this. ... Going to court melodramatizes and sanitizes the bung-holing (like USG v. Apple) with in camera, withholding, stonewalli
mircea_popescu: anyway. to continue the thought - the usg and its ephemera are deeply and fundamentally antifeminist. they hate women as individuals and aim to exploit them as a mass. this is EXACTLY the situation of black people in the antebellum south : hated as individuals, exploited as a group.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-02-2016#1417106 << BingoBoingo you can buy the usg version of this idocy right now. eager ? ☝︎
ben_vulpes: tis a healthy wot of "fuck you usg" around here
phf: usg claims word ownership
mircea_popescu: meanwhile a gobag would be, i presume, on the basis of coverage of this shaun bridges proud representative of the usg in all its glory, the thing he was going to run off with
mircea_popescu: anyway, lulzy at the too-smart-by-half usg. OH WE CAPTURED GOBAG!!!11
trinque: thus the fact that usg can compel any company to do anything for any reason loses the pretense of secrecy.
asciilifeform: i predict that usg will come out with a 'doomed but lulzy' taintatron thing for ransom
jurov: ok, ftfy: but not while the chief engineer thinks himself usg subject, i guess
mircea_popescu: the usg has no authority to have subjects.
jurov: but not while the chief engineer is usg subject, i guess
asciilifeform: it is necessary for the usg burial.
BingoBoingo: DVD/bluDVD copy thing drew a bunch of USG aggro. Derpy thorn in copyrasta's sides but still a thorn. One of the longest running "legit" ones.
asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/usg-apple-012-014.pdf << usg expels crapple's atty. on a technicality
assbot: Logged on 23-02-2016 08:51:15; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-02-2016#1413406 << basically us "college" chumpatron still experimenting with "what's the lowest qty of candy bar we give the cattle to keep getting the sweet sweet usg funds for them. like, out of the 100k per capita we get in fed funny money, what's the least we could dole out to the maggots in whose name the whole scheme is run ? maybe -100`000 in paper and $
asciilifeform: but it is how usg leveraged its original tax collection powers to ... being what it is today.
asciilifeform: usg theoretically demanded a tax stamp.
asciilifeform: similarly to how the allodial title is with usg, who won't let it go.
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 22:03:01; asciilifeform: well all i have is the fact (rumour?) that there is this kid who organized a mega-scam for usg
asciilifeform: well all i have is the fact (rumour?) that there is this kid who organized a mega-scam for usg ☟︎
phf: only quality asian ones use glass vacuum chambers, also on account of those people being careful with their stuff. can't even buy those in usg unless in specialty asian stores
mircea_popescu: i am not prepared to admit usg ownership over as much as the fucking bathroom of the oval office.
mircea_popescu: and this is not merely a discussion of nodes in terms of internet ips. this is a discussion of everything. usg can not currently know which of its agents is closer to me than to washington. closer to their wife than to washington. closer to their purse, a la force, than to washington.
mircea_popescu: this cloud will never be clarified, or separated. the space where usg can reliably live (or, for that matter, chinag, russiag, dpkg, anyone-g) is, more or less, zero.
mircea_popescu: phf the separation between "trb nodes" and "the rest of the network" comes of the same sort of usg-enabling fiction where somehow obama owns the land and i live on it by his permision.
assbot: Logged on 04-09-2015 14:42:04; asciilifeform: usg 'expellas furca, tamen usque recurret' (tm)
mircea_popescu: Malini Mithal << at first sight one thinks what the indian supreme court thinks about patents is irrelevant to the us. at second sight one tries to recall a usg lawyer that's not indian and chuckles to himself.

mats: whaddya mean usg funded AQI affiliates to fight bashar, etc
asciilifeform: usg's been working on this since 1940s.
asciilifeform: none, this all works for the other usg.
pete_dushenski: how many lazy retards to you have to employ with 'fairness policies' to capture a couple strong retards capable of torturing usg enemies
asciilifeform: i won't believe that i was at all effective against usg until i am being sawed apart in a cellar.
asciilifeform: phun phakt, mitre is one of the largest usg 'think tank' setups.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo do you happen to know offhand where on qntra is the affidavit of random usg derp that claims ross ulbricht was found through whatever experts sex change website ? << not offhand, can dig prolly december 2014
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do you happen to know offhand where on qntra is the affidavit of random usg derp that claims ross ulbricht was found through whatever experts sex change website ?
asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/usg-apple-edny-026-027.pdf >>> http://dpaste.com/3ACY3QB.txt << moar lulz
mircea_popescu: you choose to view this as a sign of the omnipotence of usg.
mircea_popescu: it's just a convenience. it's not a fucking usg tendril.
asciilifeform: their ~children~ usg, yes
mircea_popescu: good people in specific circumstances produce usg no matter what they individually may choose.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo note how they STILL WON'T FIX THE MOTHERFUCKING HOLE. instead, how about to destroy more of the interconnected nature of the web ? "automattic got usg's back - turn off other people and only talk to disqus!!1"
mircea_popescu: ie, it's easy to pick on alf about his enamourement with the mental-usg, mostly because he's so "naively" open and upfront about it.
asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/nyt-usg-16-0219.pdf << preeeeeeet!
asciilifeform: usg can turn their - or any other nato bitchdom's - air defenses off with one button.
asciilifeform: and what, after syria usg is out of matches?
asciilifeform: ;;later tell BingoBoingo: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/usg-apple-001-009.pdf << part2 of crapple l0ltron
asciilifeform: claims such gems as, e.g., only 5% of applicants for usg clearance are disqualified
asciilifeform: https://cryptome.org/2016/02/dni-16-0218.pdf << mega-l0l, backbreaker treatise on usg's 'insider threatz! leak-prevention' wankatron
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. best usg wasp!
mircea_popescu: how does this relate to the legal impotence of the usg henceforth is unclear, but w/e.
asciilifeform: (this is also a named document, and 10,001+ copies exist, every maker of electronic junk for usg has it, but it has never been made public afaik)
asciilifeform: note that i did not say 'the pill for rsa' but a specific archival document that is referred to in 10,001 places in the open usg literature
asciilifeform: and that it only pertains to the crust of usg, not the molten iron core.
mircea_popescu: in this case, the usg took it in the ass. and the problem with whoredom is that oyu NEVER get to charge more than the least you ever charged.
BingoBoingo: In the end even USG scammed by BFL.
phf: i agree though, i like that philly is a no mans land, since there's no developers or Control or particularly strong presence of usg.
mircea_popescu: encapsulation is a dream. you know that. what exactly activates your memory hole to think that apple "done it" ? usg perfume ? what is it ?
asciilifeform: to 'jailbreak', you normally have to discover one of the handful of bugs planted for usg use.
mircea_popescu: " is that usg has the politburo in both cases by the balls, they all have swiss accounts 'which could have problems' if they don't play ball." << if we were discussing a tissue sample, this would directly map to "god's life force prevails"
asciilifeform: the answer, as far as i can see, is that usg has the politburo in both cases by the balls, they all have swiss accounts 'which could have problems' if they don't play ball.
mircea_popescu: (and no, the notion that the usg has any say in this is preposterous - if the mexican narcos decided to take over, they would take over, and no us president would even deign to EVEN NOTICE that "hey, at some point in the recent past the border was on the river".)
mircea_popescu: so by this logic they don't believe in "bringing democracy" to various countries, because the people arguing for it are obvious usg shills ?
asciilifeform pictures some usg pit developing a grease, of snot-like consistency, to fluoresce in rf, to slather on victim's lcd while he sleeps
mircea_popescu: it's so bizarre that the usg doesn't embrace herbalife. yes all the arguments against it are solid, but they cut just as much against say, apple. google.
mircea_popescu: i am, and for years have been, destroying the usg through everett's device.
asciilifeform: yes, there is not enough usg kimchi for ~all~ quislings to live work-free in mega-house
mircea_popescu: it's deeper than that, imo. the point here is that bitcoin is not making any attempt to limit ownership of its tokens by say, usg agents.
mircea_popescu: NOT having many users is as valuable as NOT having a fucktarded US-like VC on your board, or NOT having a fatass woman with a history of USG employment in "human services" roles in your staff.
mircea_popescu: http://www.stupidhackathon.com/2016/poors-good.jpg << this is actually a perfectly valid point. if you're going to publicly associate with people via facebook, you're exposing yourself and your fambly to usg & friends rapine in various manners, such as the one described.
asciilifeform: usg ~really~ wants non-clonable, non-spoofable cheap rfid
asciilifeform: usg and local microusglets have no intention of collecting any less tax as infrastructure vanishes
mircea_popescu: #b-a so schneier and the rest of the usg-powered nobodies get the swanson treatment ; #b-a so there's deedbot ; #b-a so everything in there comes back to it.
asciilifeform: while it makes not a lick of difference to usg deathsquad
asciilifeform: iirc the list of folks who work for fbi and dhs is not even classified 'sensitive' (usg legal term, the thing below 'secret')
asciilifeform: pete_d_out: you do know that the lowliest monkey in each usg ministry has access to the microshit 'outlook' phonebook seen in the link, aha ?
