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

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'
