ascii_butugychag:
usg is doing a decent job of paying most qualified folks ~not~ to crypto.
ascii_butugychag: a wild cryptographer is as tolerable to
usg as a wild nuke designer.
ascii_butugychag: for a degreed mathematician, or even talented amateur, the life choices are generally a) web dev b)
usg.
☟︎ ascii_butugychag: it is one of the few fields where
usg pays Moar and provides better working conditions than actual industry
ascii_butugychag: the thing about airplanes is that
usg does not have so many captive welders, metallurgists, etc.
ascii_butugychag:
usg does perfectly fine with well-specified, mechanical edifice
mircea_popescu:
usg can build anything it wants, and it'll never want to build anything useful. much better, more interesting shiny baubles scattered all over the field.
ascii_butugychag: this is so basic that it is even beaten to death in
usg standards documents for their crud, in public
ascii_butugychag: btw if you read that article, my hypothesis was that the
usg ciphers are specially built to fail in a particular way.
mircea_popescu: yeah, which will happen five minutes after the
usg stops hiring idiots, which will happen half hour after anyone who's not an idiot stops exclusively dedicating himself to the republic, which happens after i'm fucking dead, i should hope.
BingoBoingo: Anyways. The point is the Bundy fumbling has to happen for militia movement to develop which isn't 75%
USG informant by weight.
adlai waits for the day when
usg stagehands and muppeteers donate their entire income to the IRS (saves on paperwork!)
assbot: Logged on 01-02-2016 19:29:18; ascii_butugychag: ;;later tell mircea_popescu in what sense is adoptinc keccak a rejection of
usg standards? it was actually adopted as sha3...

☟︎ mod6: ascii_butugychag: one fix every now and then isn't horrible or anything, id just hate to see the situation (like at
usg-like job) where people create a turd, create a PR, and then have to keep chainging the PR until "ready"
mircea_popescu: yes
usg loves to present "fixes" of this nature. the odds of them making it in are about the same as the odds of obama being smart.
mircea_popescu: note the very
usg-tard approach to things : it IS true that ambiguous signatures are bad ; it is DEEPLY UNTRUE that we can counter this by AGREEING among ourselves "not to do it".
ben_vulpes: could just as easily be a
USG FUD campaign.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2016 20:48:02; jurov: asciilifeform: can't you just get rid of gmail? or it's the same situation as you and
usg?
jurov: asciilifeform: can't you just get rid of gmail? or it's the same situation as you and
usg?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: didn't some
usgmegacorp try something similar recently only to have it backfire spectacularly ?
mircea_popescu: tmsr really is what
usg aspires to be, funnily enough.
mircea_popescu: assbot> Networking Equipment Designated Weapon System | << speaking of which, i fully expect the first
usg-designed bitcoin miners to be designated exactly that.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah. he also screams about how dumb
usg is, hasn't yet moved away.
mircea_popescu: seems the matter of control is squarely resolved in the field. mp can get to anyone in
usg, to anything to them he damned well pleases. so it goes.
BingoBoingo: in not-peaceful end
USG does have to run money printer for life insurance on its instruments
adlai: but this is greatly reassuring, it suggests
usg will build coke machines regardless of their EV signum, saving worried folks the trouble of proving it one way or the other
ascii_butugychag: (gotta have some way of keeping folks from simply busting people out. as
usg famously failed to do in iraq.)
ascii_butugychag: thestringpuller: but in practice the folks who sit down in jail are white middle class types, for whom the amount owed is known exactly in real time by
usg every time they get salary, and never mexican 'illegals' who work for bags of benjie.
ascii_butugychag: this is why, even if you work for
usg, they pay you and then you have to send the exact amount, ~calculated by you~, back...
ascii_butugychag: but see, in the other
usg, you could actually take up those professions and still live like a white man
mircea_popescu: you have that much in common with 1980s inteligentsia in the other
usg.
ascii_butugychag: last i checked, it was
usg beating the shit out of derps pretending to sovereign
ascii_butugychag: it gets away with whatever in exactly the same way as the
usg it is a tendril of
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> hausmann has a story to tell about how and why poor countries suck, and it's not because they're untrained monkeys, it's because they need more phree airplanes or some shit <<< venezuela is what happened after a gaddafi died of natural causes. yes the
usg 5th column's unhappy that it has not yet been invited to save venezuela, they were predicting $$$ years ago.
mircea_popescu: o wait...
usg's own ws didn't exist then yet either huh. a well.
mircea_popescu: if only they were doing this back in the day when
usg's own corp didn't exist, america'd have looked a lot different.
mircea_popescu: and finally c) that facebook, just like every other
usg corporation, tends to outsource all its workload TO UNPAID THIRD PARTIES.
mircea_popescu: pyongyang is still there at incredible sino-
usg expenditure.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the representational needs of the
usg are exactly highest in MN as opposed to say alaska. because THAT is the true fronteer atm, separating the bundys from the bahamases.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the simple proof that wind is purely for show - so that soviet citizen sees it and is impressed with the
usg, just like the red army red square parades of otherwise useless missiles - rather than for energy is that the one place where you should have them (tierra del fuego) doesn't have them.
danielpbarron: i would think it's easier to make a real key and decrypt an actual message than to fake the whole thing in video editing but then again I have a dedicated gpg machine and not a video editing one.
USG probably has the opposite
mircea_popescu: just a simple "isis finally moving to pgp, like b-a/alf/mp said they should.
usg petrified about actual, strong cryptography - as opposed to the ecc and assorted shit they peddle - being deployed by those opposing its reign of terror"
ben_vulpes:
usg has a plenty strong relationship with me, lol
assbot: Logged on 24-01-2016 01:51:14; adlai: fwiw friend who teaches classics at a
usg 'prep school' attests to having had a student excused from any and all performance standards due to APD (which stands for 'auditory processing disorder')

☟︎ hanbot: <mircea_popescu> me: 'the measure of a state's sovereignty and quality of life therein is the degree to which it can deny benefits to outsiders' << certainly works to "why is B,TMSR~ superior to
USG and necessarily a replacement thereof". << to borrow a recent parallel from copypaste, couldn't the same be said of best korea?

ben_vulpes: the log history that you're missing is that blockheight is the only non
usg-shared time.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381687 << the definition of "effective" under which he operates is both peculiar and self-defeating. he wants to get something (in this case, anything, whatsoever) for nothing (in this case, no casualties, the one thing
usg can't afford is coffins). so in that sense, his insanity is sensible.
☝︎ ascii_butugychag: or does it even make sense to suppose that
usg uses anything of the kind
mircea_popescu: heh, the
usg can't afford to throw away half a bil just for this.
mircea_popescu: <mats> int'l law: for other people that are not
usg. << it's widely reported in ru and chinese. "everyone"
mats: int'l law: for other people that are not
usg.
mats: why nobody is talking about how
usg is actively violating .sy sovereignty, idk
adlai would at least prefer a "tries hard but mostly fails", but will settle for "either retarted or
usg" because it's 'nearly a laugh'
mircea_popescu: yeh but i don't think that group of nuts would like you, or you them. meanwhile the
usgod crowd... prolly. maybe. who knows.
assbot: Logged on 21-01-2016 21:56:07; mircea_popescu: check it out alfie, your clone with less technical skills is running the
usg's largest bank-department.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Shit's popping up everywhere now.
USG phillipino delivery for ClassicCoin must have finally arrived a week late
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Or just trying to "be cool" like all those movie stoners or something. It's not unknown among
USG agents to either have or have invented a "groovy" drug history.
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 04:17:53; *: BingoBoingo still in recovery. It is through the strategic superiority of #b-a that I stopped being a drunk ass online in time to enjoy the irony of
USGToomim Mark M be a stoned ass online

☟︎ BingoBoingo: "p2phash [10:04 PM] got to be a bot." << lol, this is why bongs get people busted or
USG-Agentified
pete_dushenski:
usg is poorer than local community league or something
