assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 03:17:59; asciilifeform: all i can say is that
usg is the only major economic actor remaining, or at least in so far as is visible from my dismal tower
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323630 << you need a very weird thought process to at the same time discount all the NUMEROUS idiots with nail marks all over the face and somehow hallucinate some imaginary protection for the remainder through a concerted, name-able agency. really,
usg protected all the vermin i didn't yet get to ?
☝︎ trinque: the effectiveness of the internal
USG hierarchy is unknown to me
trinque: I fail to see how
USG panopticon megastate can live any longer than the soviet megastate
mircea_popescu: unlike the
usg, that works a little for itself and the rest for us, i work for us. the whole way.
assbot: Logged on 12-11-2015 17:53:25; ascii_field: they took a page from the classic book of tricks for
usg academe - 'pretend that the parts you didn't touch are irrelevant'

usg academe - 'pretend that the parts you didn't touch are irrelevant'
☟︎ ascii_field: nk et al are exhaust products of
usg metabolism
ascii_field: unfortunately the ten thousand qualified people on the planet all have full calendars, booked with fucking goats, donkeys, installing windows-98-jihad-version with
usgcrypt, and cleaning kalash with piss. in kandahar.
mircea_popescu: obviously you can't make "the media" aka
usg agitprop machine unhave all the vans and ex-sorority chicks and whatnot. so the only practical solution when you can't prevent them acting on their options is to limit their options to one.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: exactly. ie, the
usg needs, for continued survival, to count all its money TWICE
ben_vulpes: in particular re jon walker of appfolio, adjunct professorship is not a resume bullet. "multiple patents" under the auspices of the
usg is not a resume bullet. you had a single job: shipping software that worked, and you failed. you failed spectacularly.
mircea_popescu: books mean a very specific PERVERSION of culture ; much like
usg is a very specific perversion of governance.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field> meanwhile buterin's waterfall reloaded by
usg with another 44,000 btc << can't afford to lose bitbet bet :D
mircea_popescu: ascii_field www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-inventor-satoshi-nakamoto-nominated-nobel-prize-economics-bhagwan-chodry <<< lmao
usg trying to resurect the gavin clown ?
ascii_field: meanwhile buterin's waterfall reloaded by
usg with another 44,000 btc, or so tells völkischer beobachter
thestringpuller: I've been in the money laundering business from the
USG side.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't wedge linus from linux, it wedges linux from the
usg world (or vice-versa)
mircea_popescu: " there should be no instinct at all to defend such a jerk, and yet----- and yet that is precisely the instinct many people get." << check it out,
usg wants monopoly on orcdom now. IT can defend the outcasts so they can terrorize the cattle, i'm not "allowed to" because hey, there can be only one and it can't be me, amirite ?
mircea_popescu: lol my butt. "
usg got a run for its money the likes of which it had hoped to never see. it will not survive another one in all likelyhood, which is just as well, because november promises at least a couple."
ascii_field: and all questions of os aside, you will need to bake own silicon if you don't like running
usg blobs.
ascii_field: PeterL: most of what's happening in chem is a)
usg grantsmanship b) monkey tricks to extend pharma patents. and most of what remains is being done by folks who grew up with hobby chemistry.
mircea_popescu: ie, that same 1-2% of the coins that are in hands of self important
usg ceo/vc types.
trinque: perhaps asciilifeform is waiting for "The
USG scam wont see 2019"
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 18:50:13; *: asciilifeform would like input from his WoT re: what is the correct thing to do with obvious
usg honeytrapping as described earlier.
mircea_popescu: how many degrees of separation is this ? didja sign a promise to the
usg to police the blockchain ?
mircea_popescu: derp conspired with some other derp to break the very promises he made in writing to the
usg!
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 18:54:25; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes:
usg algo is, as i understand: 1) pick a fella who needs to have problems 2) steer known scum to his $thing 3) have it be established that he knows of (2) 4) pick him up as a thieves' fence
assbot: Logged on 04-11-2015 18:50:13; *: asciilifeform would like input from his WoT re: what is the correct thing to do with obvious
usg honeytrapping as described earlier.
BingoBoingo: My take on shrem though was the magazine profile where the reporter mentioned his smoking lamp out in the open made him irredeemably a "drug criminal" in the eyes of
USG kakobrekla: asciilifeform but does
usg really need to honeytrap ? as far as i get it, there is no need for such customs.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: you gonna let the
USG force you to shut down your node?
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 19:04:36; *: asciilifeform admits that he suspects bip64 of being a plot to create
usg-like bonds in btc. folks will be asked to trace X proper btc for X+epsilon 'locked' ones that are to land back in their pocket 'in the future', should they live long enough, but are actually recovable 'because this is how the world works'
pete_dushenski: i've even seen this at
usg 'green building' trade shows.
pete_dushenski: one wonders why
usg/uk bother with such surveillance legislation at all if they actually have de facto doing-whatever-the-fuck-it-wants-to-whoever-it-wants powerz
kakobrekla: actually iirc there is a huge underground
usg army base in mk
mircea_popescu: like hell. this is your "
usg matters" delusion speaking.
mircea_popescu: end of fucking story, no
usg enters into any of it. binary choice, pick one : ( ) man ; ( ) boy.
assbot: Logged on 03-11-2015 20:19:08; ascii_field: the orcs are welcome because they spread chaos and destroy the competition of
usg ascii_field: the orcs are welcome because they spread chaos and destroy the competition of
usg ☟︎ ascii_field: i find it entirely plausible that
usg would try to open the scuttling valve on what remains of industrial europe
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and wtf, the
usg Official Truth is that MOST small arms homicides in usa have .22 hole. << Pehaps he had the fancy copper plate stuff.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "repatriation schemes" would be "kiss the ring and the
usg will pressure holders of your holy artifacts to return them"
mircea_popescu: whole thing is a trivial example of WHY
usg doth not want a sane bitcoind, ie, a 700kb one./
ascii_field would like to try to avoid straight
usg gigs, however, from past experience
v_diddy: asciilifeform: doesn't this thread devolve into "there's precious little market for anything not supported by
usg"?
mircea_popescu: vulpes_a_hopital do what the
usg does : differential leverage.
ascii_field: in case n00bz are reading this: nobody pays 100 tonnes for a reversing gig to some unknown for the same reason all 'assassination markets' are
usg hoaxes
ascii_field: this re: the ancient and ongoing thread about whether
usg is somehow limited by laws.
assbot: Logged on 28-10-2015 00:14:05; mats:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1309017 << disingenuous, because all agents of
usg are entrusted with masterpwn key? mitigations do not raise the cost of exploitation, even for
usg? because, last i checked, they use kits like everybody else in the game.
mats: this is patent nonsense. do you run your boxes with aslr on? then some classes of exploits
usg may use against you could certainly involve rop gadgets. then, 'RAP' may prevent code execution.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308948 << disingenuous to bring it back to 'but we gotta raise the cost for attackerz' while carefully omitting to mention that in ALL OF THESE 'mitigation' derpitudes 'attacker' invariably, INESCAPABLY really means 'attackers other than
usg'
