BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Consider bupropion, the one USG blessed mood regulating dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Simple chlorinated amphetamine on the ring. I wonder more who can't make it than who can
asciilifeform: i watched it happen, on usg tax dollar no less.
asciilifeform: i.e. something which can only exist at usg gunpoint.
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 ☟︎
BingoBoingo actually would like a cue cat, not so much usg Po-Po plug
mircea_popescu: as far as i can see the only salient points re isis are that a) has own agency ; b) percepibly unalligned to usg.
mircea_popescu: so i guess the real story here is, mujahedeen cultivated usg to provide them with apples.
mircea_popescu: "usg spent some items to addresses it didn't have the key for. isis cracked the keys."
mircea_popescu: nobody cares what the usg "did"
ascii_field: i suppose next mircea_popescu will reveal that usg dropped stingers 'for mujahedeen' but not for taliban.
mircea_popescu: your gambit is to administratively suspend isis' agency, because you're too enamoured with the usg and that requires you (also administratively) assign all agency to it.
mircea_popescu: yeah, totally. and if i go buy a twelve year old hooker in the DC, it's also the usg that supplied her right ?
ascii_field: i'd be surprised if usg had never tried to roust up rebellion among the chukchas
ascii_field: last i heard, usg was not levelling syria with tactical nukes
PeterL: didn't somebody here say that isis is just a usg puppet anyway?
ascii_field: usg laughs when morons 'donate to isis'
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282830 << until they carve public key on camera into the back of a prisoner or ten, how exactly could would-be donors know that they are sending to isis and not to usg ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo further proof (if such were needed) that no usg/vc funded item is a bitcoin company.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282483 << where did mircea_popescu unearth the ipNohe ??! took it off a dead usg agent ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the "future of bitcoin" will be bitcoin, and it will be pointedly NOT "as anonymous and private" as a made-for-usg fake anon/privacy hangout. at the very least for as long as i'm around.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'direction' here is not in the sense of 'chemist knows the effect' - as i described in earlier threads, the models are shoddier than pretty much anyone involved in that racket is willing to admit in public. i was speaking in the sense of what usg permits to be fed to people, for test, and thereafter sold
asciilifeform: aside from outlandish hypothesis like 'hidden usg altcoin miner' - i can hardly think of any logical reason for it to exist.
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 20:22:11; ascii_field: these are the 'buy light bulbs that mine for usg' log-reader folks aren't they.
asciilifeform: now if only he'd listened! then he could starve in this ditch with me, instead of bathing in benjies and cocaine in his usg-filled wealthtub
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 16:59:46; ascii_field: because usg has the means to feed full-time programmers, and we do not.
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 16:59:29; ascii_field: i just think it is grimly hilarious how everything we've spoken of here ~will~ be implemented in bastardized usg versions
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 16:54:58; ascii_field: 'galaxy, star, planet, moon, comet' << glorious. they retired the naval org chart (before that, prior to mr mold selling out to usg, it was feudal titles of nobility - as in my former 'dukedom')
mircea_popescu: usg paid for the whores.
mircea_popescu: usg paid for security.
asciilifeform: every trial is an exercise of usg power.
asciilifeform: actually it does not matter at all to usg if a trial is a 'new' one, or rerun of 'hung jury' trial.
danielpbarron: at least a hung jury wastes more USG money
mircea_popescu: more lulz @ usg expense.
asciilifeform: see logz for my hypothesis re: why usg is handing out almost homeopathically-small miners.
asciilifeform: 'hackteam' leak revealed a spiffy, user-friendly bot module used by usg to remotely cp-ize winblowz users. it was mentioned in guess how many newspapers.
asciilifeform: the micropayment thing has to be taken in context. it was 1960s and his vision was arguably an improvement of 'if you want to make money from thinking, have a job in usg academia'
BingoBoingo: So reading about how USG wants to expand VW's sphincter I can across this enviroscam for the first time http://www.volvotrucks.com/trucks/australia-market/en-au/trucks/environment/Emissions_technology/AdBlue/questions_answers/Pages/question6.aspx
ascii_field: phf et al: from my (admittedly very distant) perch, my understanding of usg's engineering problem is as follows
phf: (usg agents reading the logs, "ascii always have some good ideas for us")
thestringpuller: ascii_field: take compulsory remote updates from usg ? << srsly. it's backed by Cisco aka Spookware Incorporated.
ascii_field: take compulsory remote updates from usg ?
ascii_field: thestringpuller: this is just usg's answer to 'china refuses to mine gavincoin or run hearnia client'
ascii_field: these are the 'buy light bulbs that mine for usg' log-reader folks aren't they. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Lol ascii_field USG has its own pogo now too https://archive.is/zDd5y
ascii_field: because usg has the means to feed full-time programmers, and we do not. ☟︎
ascii_field: i just think it is grimly hilarious how everything we've spoken of here ~will~ be implemented in bastardized usg versions ☟︎
ascii_field: 'galaxy, star, planet, moon, comet' << glorious. they retired the naval org chart (before that, prior to mr mold selling out to usg, it was feudal titles of nobility - as in my former 'dukedom') ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also suspect that one of the drivers of usg interest in demented pseudo-bitcoin contraptions ('permissioned blockchain technology!') is that these folks dream of a hybrid bulldog-rhinoceros, 'best of both', where usg can electronically steal everything you have, but without any bureaucratic snags - it will look precisely like a voluntary donation, from a mathematical standpoint
mircea_popescu: there's very faint traces of usg in all of this.
asciilifeform: the other thing is, i was briefly astonished at how broken the thing is, but then remembered an old mircea_popescu lemma which leads to 'it must necessarily be broken' - i haven't the link handy, but this was an article where 'usg dare not safely use a working bitcoin or even similar item, because it will begin to warp around it'
asciilifeform: as in, the thing usg universities, 'ngo' complex, etc. finance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seriously, it seems like this thing aims to be ~ urbit. made by people of the same exact ilk ("got some usg payola") but who understand EVEN LESS of computing.
asciilifeform: incidentally, usg imploded libya by vaguely promising 'mansions' - 'your crown-owned official mercedes will become yours! as will your crown-issued chicks!' etc
asciilifeform: iirc usg helpfully gives'em lists.
asciilifeform: stead of the usual set of usg banks.
asciilifeform: 'Foreign financial institutions require ex-US individuals to show them a CLN (or provide a "reasonable explanation" of why they do not have one) to comply with the exchange of information provisions of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the various intergovernmental agreements the US has signed with foreign jurisdictions.' << ahahahahaha l0l!! pay $3k to get the privilege of using this other set of usg banks in
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 23:06:24; mircea_popescu: the proposition is that the usg exists as a system of stupid people, dedicated to the supporting of stupidity and the containing of the threat (to them) presented by intelligence.
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2014 18:41:22; asciilifeform: 'escape' means there's a missile battery (or, at the threadbare minimum, 24/7 death squad) standing between usg and you.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278893 << usg actually ~respecting~ the renouncements, bought at whatever price, is a joke ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:31:54; ascii_field: the only thing the offerings of usg ~provably~ are able to do is to lighten your wallet.
mircea_popescu: the proposition is that the usg exists as a system of stupid people, dedicated to the supporting of stupidity and the containing of the threat (to them) presented by intelligence. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and re the "heckler's idea of conspiracy" : it is not the proposition that the usg consists of some evil overlord petting a cat buried under concrete somewhere while tons of mindless drones to the biddings without complaint. nor is the proposition that a secret conclave of shaved heads secretly meet at my pillar every 5th wednesday.
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:00:03; BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> usg has a very effective program for soaking them up << I'm pretty sure the push to get people into grad school rather than employment 2007-2011 was exactly this
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278613 << climatologism looks particularly bad because it was so egregious. none of the people involved were any good at any point. the fact that the usg has managed to marshal the equivalent of local mcdonalds supervisors into "science" is really very much calked off the soviets' "here's this apprentice shoemaker who is our expert biologist". it has no known equivalent o ☝︎
mircea_popescu: so, usg-"earth sciences", usg-"computer security", usg-"womens studies", usg-whathaveyou are in fact actually worthless.
mircea_popescu: e equipped with infinite patience may find isolated useful items in that outpour. it is necessarily true however that such finds won't be worth the expense. this is not coincidental - consider the earlier discussion as to how we distinguish usg disinfo from genuinely interesting items. http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1266663 etc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278610 << the view is valid, if mats is curious of my position. nobody cares about the actual "names" / "careers" involved, as per the pseudoscience article, they can be safely ignored. the important point however is that while usg spends a lot of money on "research", the expenditure is PREDICATED on it being "research", ie, not actual research. it is perhaps true that on ☝︎
mircea_popescu: you know, exactly what usg does EVERY DAY
ascii_field: the only thing the offerings of usg ~provably~ are able to do is to lighten your wallet. ☟︎
ascii_field: https://cryptome.org/2015/09/sobh-attacked-doe.htm << l0l. Run Moar Winblowz, usg !
ascii_field: from usg's point of view, ANYTHING is better than having folks wake up to cpu-with-bounds-checking-on-all-ops and fits-in-head
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> usg has a very effective program for soaking them up << I'm pretty sure the push to get people into grad school rather than employment 2007-2011 was exactly this ☟︎
ascii_field: usg has a very effective program for soaking them up
ascii_field: but that overall DIRECTIONS of research that are given support by usg in past decade are specifically counterproductive
mats: USG is a fount of grants for certain fields, computer security is one of those blessed. consideration of all USG research as poisoned fruit is your prerogative, but for me, extraordinary and specific claims require extraordinarily specific evidence. like someone diddling an IR parser.
punkman: a commodity, security, currency, whatever each USG entity needs to call it in order to pretend they have authority over it

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Price signal improved, FU USG, or is better price signal impossible without MPEx options?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> well at least the shitheads didn't try to trademark the integral sign << Amazing where tiny bits of proto-sanity appear in USG
ascii_field: usg lives & breathes embrace&extenduish via 'STANDARDS!!!111'
BingoBoingo: Oh shit, https://archive.is/kMu5r also watch the confused USG Phillipenis https://archive.is/Qm4uB
BingoBoingo: I might not wish well the USG, but I don't want them to get Trump... Where is the challenge in that
mircea_popescu: no see, i'm rich like mircea not rich like usg. i tend to want to see roi.
BingoBoingo: He's the first USG stooge to die
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: if you must africa, consider addis ababa << Too USG and Obola was born too near. Now Dar es Salam with 19 HIV free ebony girls for every infected...
asciilifeform: (that is, that 'crime pays' for so long as it involves moving btc to usg coffers and not otherwise)

mircea_popescu: if teh server bs continues, we end up hosting on USG owned computers exclusively.
asciilifeform: the best leverage naturally is to find usg's magic tendrils already there.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276226 << anyone else puzzled re: the total lack of mention of the author of the implant (usg) ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276218 << i am still "very interested" to hear the details that emerge from the "thorough investigation" Freenode promised back the first time imbecile usg tried to disrupt b-a. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hey, it's how usg works!
asciilifeform: egregious public masturbation by usg
asciilifeform: ddos artist can saturate arbitrary pipe for less than it costs usg to house one prisoner.
asciilifeform: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-15/why-hewlett-packard-just-fired-another-30000 << usg burns a bit of furniture
asciilifeform: usg, like any cheap thief, tries to steal what is bolted down poorest.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... << l0l, 'predators' will fly in usg's latvia. <<< But A-10's stationed in Romania. If only the US upgraded its highest performing Air-to-Air platform... the A-10
asciilifeform: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/14/us-usa-military-russia-idUSKCN0RE2DO20150914 << l0l, 'predators' will fly in usg's latvia.
