ascii_butugychag: usg knows very well who has any business writing off serious sums and who does not.
adlai: but please, this is applicable to ANY USG TAXPAYER in the audience. 3btc = nice tax break!
adlai failed his arbitrage on this basis - usg-sponsor doesn't want to engage museum(s) in negotiation, but maybe $alertLurker does
adlai: so break it on the way over, i don't care! but all else aside, it's more educational to the budding usg-arsonist if they can play with a working doodad
adlai: ofc you (or the other end of your arbitrage) need to already be paying usg taxes, but there are a bunch of people who do
adlai: in other phamily-related news, my lispm arbitrage has failed, due to usg-sponsor eagerness to sponsor as much as possible... but therein lies the arb, and anybody who does sponsor usg (or have family who do) is welcome and encouraged to pursue this further
ascii_butugychag: i finally realized, though, where mircea_popescu gets his odd notions of usg life
ascii_butugychag: usg has, like or not, plenty of money to throw around. i have seen the golden toilets.
ascii_butugychag sadly knows how usg works
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the usg works. they ain't got a pot to piss in, and consequently won't be actually coverin gany shortfalls. all they got is a whole lot of pretense based on a whole lot of puffery.
mircea_popescu: <copypaste> ascii_butugychag: oh, i didn't know that. interesting << eh he's making shit up. usg doesn't have own pot to piss in.
ascii_butugychag: copypaste: usg has own 'wan'
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 11:26:48; copypaste: i have a feeling this will soon happen on a massive scale to Americans, when the USG goes under
copypaste: i have a feeling this will soon happen on a massive scale to Americans, when the USG goes under ☟︎
copypaste: the USG is already so bankrupt that it stopped adding passport pages, you have to pay them for a whole new passport
copypaste: i want to renounce my passport before the USG goes under because such event, which i think will happen in my lifetime, will make me stateless
mircea_popescu: any chance of that ? everyone employed by usg commits suicide over the weekend, usher paradise on earth ?
asciilifeform: http://www.thelocal.se/20160107/more-swedes-than-ever-are-moving-abroad << ever so precious, the usgrasty
asciilifeform: pretty much EVERY thinking fella working for a living in usaschwitz is doing SOMETHING usgtronic.
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 00:55:42; asciilifeform: wake me up when moscow is air-supplying oregon phortress of phreeeeedom with SAM rockets, food, and cheap whores every 48h - like usg is resupplying kiev
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 00:45:07; asciilifeform: as a very wealthy usg-dod consultant once said to me, 'i don't give a flying fuck whether it is the democrats, the republicans, or the lesbians, who win'
ascii_butugychag: and naturally we get the usgtronics: 'As usual, the fact that it's possible to implement a dangerous algorithm correctly, doesn't mean it's humanely possible, and safer algorithms (and primitives) must always be preferred. (See also: deterministic ECDSA.)'
asciilifeform: wake me up when moscow is air-supplying oregon phortress of phreeeeedom with SAM rockets, food, and cheap whores every 48h - like usg is resupplying kiev ☟︎
asciilifeform: as a very wealthy usg-dod consultant once said to me, 'i don't give a flying fuck whether it is the democrats, the republicans, or the lesbians, who win' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and in a year';s time, no more usg, not ever again.
asciilifeform: not how usg works
mircea_popescu: usg might enjoy it too.
assbot: Logged on 06-01-2016 00:07:54; mircea_popescu: how about "usg has an opportunity to quit infringing now and save more face than if it quits later" ?
mircea_popescu: how about "usg has an opportunity to quit infringing now and save more face than if it quits later" ? ☟︎
copypaste: mircea_popescu: to use an iphone as a GPC, you first have to jailbreak it; which requires reverse engineering, which requires breaking the USG DMCA anti-circumvention law
thestringpuller: USG is doing the disinformation thing in Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: that i crushed them like worms last year doesn't JUST mean i now have gavin's head and yet another painful humiliation inflicted upon usg's asshole.
mircea_popescu: the point however is not this. the point is that... hm, how should it put it so it clicks. looky here : usgavin and his merry cattle troop were not ranting about moore's law for no cause, early on. they represent not some people, not some institutions, but some beliefs and a way of life. a culture.
BingoBoingo: Don't not want to mention the likely USG course of action considering their history
BingoBoingo: " it is possible that USG agents will use lethal force in the form of burning the entire forest down in order to clear out this pocket of resistance to their oppression, as they burned down the Branch Davidian compound in Waco to eliminate those dissidents." << Does this bite more?
mircea_popescu: ", it is likely that USG agents will use lethal force in the form of burning the entire forest down" << this needs hammering out, it doesn't bite.
GamerSg: well if we assume coinbase is a USG-linked firm, they could do watever and get away with it, no?
ascii_rear: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-01-2016#1359543 << wake me up when folks not relying on usg for food, mutiny ☝︎
ascii_rear: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-01-2016#1359550 << it usgized long ago ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-01-2016#1359530 << pff who's the dramatic undervaluer now ! stan's easily 10^10`000 usg 3ngin33rs !! ;) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes motherfucker global warning. you can't depend on anything the usg says, can you!
mircea_popescu: ahahahaah check out the usg roflmao.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> "oh it's just alf lol doing in an afternoon what the usg dreamt of doing all throughout the ninedies" << yes, but then again the usg can't get two thinking people to rub together if its continuation depended on it.

assbot: 9 results for 'usgcoin' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=usgcoin
pete_dushenski: !s usgcoin
lobito: sorry, idk what usg or xt is :P
mircea_popescu: is this the new scamcoin usg folks are going to bless us with after the demise of xt ?
BingoBoingo: ;tldr A bunch of Billions of USG dollars were spent to make Billions of new bezzle development more readily destroyed than the nothing preceeding it in 1993
assbot: On Top Of Spaghetti - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1mUSg1Y )
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-12-2015#1357890 << exactly how "banning" works here. there isn't a "moderator" idiot as a proxy for usg to "make hard decisions" for "the good of the flock". whenever things come to a head, moderation is done by the offender's own friends, and at their own expense. ☝︎
ascii_rear: incidentally usg is obsessed with image stego
adlai: do would-be tyrants other than USG not lurk in the shadows, waiting to replace them?
ascii_rear: in the sense where usg could have burned down gox ages before it died on its own, but see also http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=11-11-2015#1322048 ☝︎
ascii_rear: at the root of the league of scumbags is the tacit nod of usg
assbot: Logged on 31-12-2015 16:05:45; copypaste: indeed mircea_popescu, but you're missing the point; it's worth more to USG to have people that run services like Paxful out of the equation than the costs of putting them in jail
ascii_rear: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-12-2015#1357391 << relationship of usg with the penny-ante criminal caste is quite like that of gamekeeper and deer. see also mega-classic 'hitler's table talk.' ☝︎
copypaste: indeed mircea_popescu, but you're missing the point; it's worth more to USG to have people that run services like Paxful out of the equation than the costs of putting them in jail ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 31-12-2015 07:57:10; copypaste: I never quite understood the purpose of this "company"; founded in USA yet ignoring USG rules to transfer quantities of $1 using Bitcoin
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-12-2015#1356966 << alf has a theory that all these low effort "law breaking" things exist as usg-run operations to find and document wreckers. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: The serious problem is their insistence on touching USG money
copypaste: It's incredible how foolish these people are, unable to learn from history, and founding their Bitcoin "businesses" in USG territory
copypaste: I never quite understood the purpose of this "company"; founded in USA yet ignoring USG rules to transfer quantities of $1 using Bitcoin ☟︎
mircea_popescu: lmao. mtgox didn't die because mp leaned on it ; vesseness didn't hightail it because mp leaned on him. his scam foundation isn't sinking because mp leaned on it. welcome to the wonderful world of usg.coincidental.narratives.
adlai: yes, the zion-usg mutual-backstabbing-olympics is a thread that goes back to the lizards lurking on the walls of the manhattan project
BingoBoingo: Some levees are only there because it is nice not to flood farm fields, so those ones get sacrified from time to time. The Levees protecting the fucking ghetto never get intentionally blown by USG.
adlai_pheeld: aka ith aka USG aka ljr-20151230
adlai: usg 4eva
asciilifeform: a usg droid ?
mircea_popescu: is is best described as a national movement. unlike the usg, which IS in fact a criminal organisation.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-12-2015#1356077 << usg pravda claptrap, snorefest ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell gamersg re: usgavin, see his feigned ignorance in all its stuporous wonderment here back in october 2014 (he was well and buried by july 2015) http://www.contravex.com/2014/10/07/how-a-bigger-blockchain-is-less-secure-and-why-block-size-aint-gonna-increase-any-time-soon/#comment-1126
mircea_popescu: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/27/business/dealbook/the-unsung-tax-agent-who-put-a-face-on-the-silk-road.html?_r=0 <<< ahaha check it out, the cover-up story is shaping up! it wasn't the usg using the holes in tor to try and steal some bitcoin, after which their agents stole most of it from them in turn. oh, no! it's a heroic guy that bla bla bla, just like in thye old soviet movies!
mats: the not-usg remora collective that bought into eth ipo is broke as fuck and are incapable of triggering share dump despite sizable payout from bitbet for this service
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: if you have trouble sourcing batteries not containing usg dpa circuitry, invest in a dental xray machine
asciilifeform: long ago, after the failed american invasion of cuba at the bay of pigs, usg offered a million for the head of castro's #2, half a million for #3, and a penny for castro's
shinohai: No ones surprised they would suck Gavin's cock since they already suck usg
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm not talking about usg 'expertz' i'm taling about d00d who lives in his mom's basement rent-free 'expert' who is able to convince 1000 other lemmings he is an expert.
asciilifeform: usg 'expertz' have approximately as much to fear from sc4mz0rz as mountain from mosquitoes
asciilifeform: and so it goes for usg's.
asciilifeform: this is usg's way of laughing
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353078 << this works until usg or even a demented sysop is involved: you can derive pubkey from ciphertext ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but in fairness, this is just another facet of the monolithic usg-slavery-thoughtpattern. living in the states is good enoughy for me ; i don't really need a blog and it's not THE central, defining thing of my current existence ; on it goes.
trinque: +asciilifeform │ (usg-powered, like all other 'superstar' stocks) << wat?
asciilifeform: (usg-powered, like all other 'superstar' stocks)
asciilifeform: they play ball, or usg pulls on the strings. will pull until arms, legs come off.
asciilifeform: the legal logic behind 'canary' was always dodgy, 'usg cannot compel you to tell lies' - wanna bet ? ask juniper et al
asciilifeform: meanwhile, usg unzips wallet and http://www.wsj.com/articles/palantir-technologies-raises-further-200-million-1450920952
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (why the everliving fuck should there be a sql interpreter in the binary? or runtime interpretation of hardcoded sql proggies ???!!!) << because at the time satoshbi made it he didn't have a clear design document and the usg stoolies anchored themselves on such chinks in the armor to "extend" and so forth.
asciilifeform: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/22/world/asia/china-landslide-shenzhen.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=1 << after reading this, hard to doubt that here, just as in the chem factory explosion, usg was involved
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1352012 << welcome to the club of everybody else who buys reversing. even usg has mega-sh0rt4g3z ☝︎
asciilifeform: ua will run on usg diesel until ragnarok
asciilifeform: at any rate, usg has quite likely already sent the same disassembly squads they used in bulgaria
asciilifeform: m and m blew the usg minds for the simple reason that, as far as anybody could tell, they weren't bribed
mircea_popescu: it's funny how all the soviet defections were proof sovietism dun work (it didn't) but all the various us defections weren't proof usgism dun work (it... didn't).
asciilifeform: and the tone with which the usgdroids describe one of the fellas watching japanese strippers diddle one another, it must be read to be appreciated.
asciilifeform: uk is just an 'unsinkable aircraft carrier' for usg. like taiwan.
