asciilifeform: but i will note the overall ~direction~ of usg psychiatry.
mircea_popescu: has 0 to do with pharma. where usg goes, the usg.problems go.
mircea_popescu: this one will kill it, of course, but even if it didn't, even without it : usg had been tricked by usg.vc into missing out on pretty much everything. even fucking obvious things like small biz.
mircea_popescu: A hilariously low percentage of tech investment targets the SMB market (aiming instead at huge business, the web, and the consumer electronics tie-in (the only interesting part of the list)) <<< yeah, it's not JUST bitcoin that the VC circus misdirected the usg into losing out of.
pete_dushenski: it sorta lulzy how the usg actually has 'czar of xyz'
mircea_popescu: let me guess, if tomorrow the USG Comissar uh i mean Czar In Charge Of What This Particular Set Of Idle Fucktards Thinks says that the blockchain impedes great justice and should be edited so and so to promote "fairness" they'll... oppose ? resist ?
mircea_popescu: who told random usg tard that he is qualified to "cure cancer" or even get out of bed at all when he can't even run a clean system ?
mircea_popescu: and then in the same day ima have to explain to well intentioned fellows what is evil about usg-tronics.
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 21:21:42; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> folks familiar with usg 'scientocracy' will laugh, but the fact is, the mind-reading box does not necessarily have to... work. to be put in use. << right right. cholesterol is bad for you except its good for you and salt is bad except its good and hey, as long as they got "science" what difference does it make that they're 100% consensused on opposite things every 30 years.
asciilifeform: where i live, at present, any experimentation in selectors ~other than rent bezzle~ is specifically forbidden by usg.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: lulzily, usg agrees!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: see famous case with portland lawyer that the incompetents in the usg wanted to frame for the madrid bombings.
asciilifeform: folks familiar with usg 'scientocracy' will laugh, but the fact is, the mind-reading box does not necessarily have to... work. to be put in use. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 18:04:22; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno that nonsense is of any interest rly. ever since ashcroft usg has been putting forth all sorts of spurious claims.

mircea_popescu: looky, it's functional - at least more so than the usg - and it's anti-west alright.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-10-2015#1295911 << why would anyone tell the au branch of usg that they intend to go to syria? say you're going to, e.g., fr, then go. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that was then covered by endless layers of usg-esque "improvements" mostly intended to cement the gunk in place.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-10-2015#1294680 << curiously, this padding of books is already happening at that usg electric car company that's never made a profit to date. r&d staff have been shed and have headed to... apple. ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'quod licet' usg 'non licet bovi' (tm)
mircea_popescu: the deep fundamental reason usg exists needs to go away. not merely the usg, or preet bharara's head.
mircea_popescu: "usg fails to push its out shit out of its own rectum, send halp!"
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, usg interest can't push asad out, etc.
asciilifeform: 'usg fines itself 20bn zimbabwellars' nyooz at eleven
BingoBoingo: !rate kyletorpey -10 USG influence agent
ascii_field: at this time, every single copy of every variant of bitcoin in the world runs on a cpu designed - and, in almost all cases, made - by the usg ministry of crudputing !!
pete_dushenski: what's different about usg/su centralisation ? scale of overall economy from which to draw ?
pete_dushenski: well, i won't speak for intel, but toyota can flatly tell usg where to go.
ascii_field: and usg conscripted tech suppliers, not only banks, to serve as de-facto polizei
pete_dushenski: what are the chances that democracy doesn't produce the best results ? but rather the results that favour usg interests ? hm. i wonder.
pete_dushenski: because what's to negotiate with ? usg is a nebulous metastatic blob with no end and no beginning. trying to have a conversation with it is like talking to a tree and expecting the forest to play along.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293816 << in which we discover alf does not understand how teh usg works. ☝︎
asciilifeform: and had the business sense / lack of scruples / strategic usg buttbuddies - to turn it into $millions
BingoBoingo: phf: A man does agress with other people's words. USG does that. Ethics demands you only defend with that.
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> BingoBoingo: The pics would be for our intel systems dude << You don't need an image to recognize broke ass USG Denzel Washington wannabe
gabriel_laddel: I love how *everyone* either missed or ignored where ascii was taking the "cocaine sales practice as a measure of USG power, whatever its form" thread.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sure. usg did not build on empty space
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform srsly, dope conventionslong predate usg.
asciilifeform: thing is, dope in usg (and 'international treaties' as they presently exist are ~pure~ usgtronics) is not about dope, but about empire. if tomorrow no one wanted to snort coke, something else (can you say warez?) takes its place as excuse to feed standing army of stormtroopers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't sell cocaine either, at any rate not differently freom how it's done now, at which point you'd saysomething liek "mp is nao usg" and i'd hit you in the head with a six kg single crystal metaphetamine hammer.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's just this device that tells me that usg is still alive and strong. << USSRia hates Drugs too
asciilifeform: it's just this device that tells me that usg is still alive and strong.
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: which is why i say to mircea_popescu, 'usg is dead when you can tell me what country to visit where cocaine is sold next to soap for a penny a pound'
mircea_popescu: not that it's not readily believable, not that there aren't excellent reasons why it's not in the usg agitprop.
ascii_field: https://cryptome.org/2015/10/usg-mil-ukraine.pdf >> l0ltr0nic >> http://dpaste.com/20QDW8P.txt
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-10-2015#1291977 << everybody, from king to slave, wants to buy 1) an epsilon below 'market rate' 2) without usg logging ☝︎
ascii_field: usg takes less? then moar for the landlord to harvest
mircea_popescu: and i thought all modern gurlz live in usg quarters with low pressure showers.
ascii_field: my current understanding is that usg has been specifically squeezing diesel heat users - they get untaxed fuel that is theoretically usable in trucks, and folks often 'cheat'. it has a colouring agent, and in parts of usa where this type of heater is common, policemen will often dip a wooden stick into a truck's tank to test for cheat
ascii_field: per usg diktat.
mircea_popescu: random but rather fine balancing example for all teh usg agency lulz in here.
BingoBoingo: Better to start him with Rambo's First Blood Part one, so he knows the consquences of being violent for the USG first
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2015 02:02:19; midnightmagic: dude. seriously plotting or fomenting the physical murder of the USG is sedition, insurrection, and various related crimes and there's no fucking way I'm interested in being associated with it just because I'm lurking in here.
ascii_field: it is same usg, but a special holding pen therein.
mircea_popescu: in general any company is better than usg company by now, and consequently this approach, if it ever was seriously entertained, fails.
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-09-2015#1288460 << Ferguson is in a Considers arresting USG state ☝︎
ascii_field: which is why usg is not considering what part of texas to bomb today.
mircea_popescu: the funny thing is, that the "marginally retarded" (which they were) had the usg agents so badly beaten it was fucking ridiculous.
ascii_field: they were ~to usg~
ascii_field: these were nucleation points for 'militia movement' in the '90s, which was, afaik, five parts usg provocateurship to one part genuine, if imbecilic, organized rebellion - which had to be nuked
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it was the very textbook example of usg powershow modus operandi - pick on the borderline retarded, preferably ones who practice voodoo to a degree repugnant to the tvtronic public
mircea_popescu: and b) that there's scant relation between the raping of the usg in the states as per the marijuana thing ands the raping of the usg in other states as per the blacks thing
mircea_popescu: in fact it's safer to be a criminal than a usg agent.
mircea_popescu: what remains here is : a) that the usg is very vulnerable, has always been, and far from a "you can do nothing to us" a top guy is killed every few decades, and the lower agents get popped daily.
ascii_field: short version, proto-usg squeezed out poor white catholics, who were slow to 'get with the program', from urban centers, with 'population replacement' gambit where 'housing projects' were built and filled with lumpens
ascii_field: it was. but usg cauterized the wound
mircea_popescu: but blacklivesmatter is a maryland thing, and the "arrest usg twerps" is a "other states than maryland" thing.
mircea_popescu: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Bundesarchiv_Bild_146-1981-149-34A%2C_Russland%2C_Herausziehen_eines_Autos.jpg <<< usg dept of human disservices THIS CLOSE to catching up to third reich technologees.
mircea_popescu: everyone in usg gets killed all the fucking time
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is the one thing the usg does right.
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: USG was prolly worried about all those sedevacantist extremists
ascii_field: https://cryptome.org/cops.jpg << usg seek000rity detail for pope
ascii_field: for some reason, knockout drug + rope appears to be the favourite usg method for dispatching troublesome folks
mircea_popescu: i would suspect there's more random common law criminals being shielded by the usg from various jurisdictions than there are successful prosecutions in any given year.
mircea_popescu: hey, if the usg "law enforcement" hires some kickass pr it might even catch up to the sinaloa cartel by 2016.
mircea_popescu: so basically lebanon is the new hope in the usg middle east desperation ?
asciilifeform: when i worked in usg, they had xp boxes, yes. i simply requisitioned 'vmware' and cooked up a gentoo vm.
mircea_popescu: well sure, for as long as a usg-pretense exists to keep bankrolling everyone's pretense, everyone's gonna keep on pretending.
asciilifeform: an empty house, from usg's standpoint, still does 90% of its job - keeping 'property values!111!!111!!1' sky-high.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the usg is cosubstantial.
asciilifeform: why otherwise would usg park them at reddit rather than in alaska.
asciilifeform: or did they collectively bend over and lube up for usg in gratitude for removing the irritant
ascii_field: trinque: nah, this'll be the ~other~ usg
ascii_field: usg knows that f(x) == y, you get locked into an edgar-poe-esque contraption until you cough up x
mircea_popescu: ("https" is not a thing. it's a flavor of usg-pki. burn it.)
ascii_field: phf: all this will do is that you will waste cpu cycles on peers who are getting packetdropped by usg
ascii_field: usg can and DOES mitm transmissions.
asciilifeform: also (elaborated for n00bs) usg's definition of 'has money' is ~strictly~ about income.
asciilifeform: we were speaking of usg payola such as 'medicaid'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: understand that 'low earner' per usg is somebody with WHOLE YEAR OF TAX RECEIPT proving such.
asciilifeform: cazalla: you get ZIP from usg unless you are part of the blessedly indigent class
mircea_popescu: banal shit, but : there's two kinds of men. there's those who assume the usg is anon all powerful ; and those who've killed usg agents after being bored to tears by their inept begging.
pete_dushenski: basically, the usg is one giant boobytrap
pete_dushenski: lobbes: in essence, the usg's continued insistence that, in every regard and in every field, the map is the territory, is used to trip up both citizens and corporations wherever and wherever it might be convenient
ben_vulpes: lobbes: usg tentacle is the catholic church's only future existence
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: vw is under investigation for 'studying to the test' atm. i'm sure they'll be slapped with a big ol' fine by usg and then watch their sales fall by 10-20%
lobbes: you also gotta love how he feels qualified to endorse the 'climate change' scam. smells like a usg appendage to me
assbot: Logged on 23-09-2015 01:36:58; asciilifeform: also usg giveth, usg taketh away. a 'pharma ceo' has so much as one cent purely by the good graces of hitler - who helpfully keeps penny-a-pill indian generics mostly out of u.s. market
mircea_popescu: e-march-1st/ << bitbet's version, which cost bfl close to 1k btc, and which resulted in http://trilema.com/2013/the-positive-market-effects-of-the-delivery-bet/ and which in turn resulted in a lot of clearing the air for legitimate operators in the space, and which is to some degree why asics even exist today as a private thing rather than coming a couple years later as a usg only thing.
