asciilifeform: whaddayawant, it's a jail, cans of sardines are currency, usg is the only economic actor here, yes
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 ? ☝︎
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-11-2015#1323169 << o, rly? are they finally going to mention an MPEx property? I met Stephanie Murphy (one of that show's hosts) at porcfest. She claimed to have never heard of MPEx, to which I replied that she must be a USG stooge. ☝︎
asciilifeform: trinque: not so many folks outside of usg need reversing. ☟︎
asciilifeform: but here, my phone's been ringing off the hook for a week, and it almost always turned out to be usg folks
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 ☟︎
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
asciilifeform: ... by usg.
asciilifeform: usg decided to burn eu, so it burns.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you expect from a usg ministry. of course they have torchlight parades and weird masonic ritual
mircea_popescu: unlike the usg, that works a little for itself and the rest for us, i work for us. the whole way.
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-11-2015#1322609 << if i want to be caged and conscripted to bitcoin for usg, i know where to call, thx no thx ☝︎
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'
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' ☟︎
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.
ascii_field: usg is on both sides of this chessboard
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: "usg in the general sense"
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.
ascii_field: ^ usg 'plays chess with self'
mircea_popescu: this would be a clarification. usg depends on fog.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't wedge linus from linux, it wedges linux from the usg world (or vice-versa)
asciilifeform: 'dbus', 'kernel systemd', and other filth will be insta-merged in (or rather, usg's pre-readied fork becomes 'blessed')
asciilifeform: fact is, mr s (or, if you prefer, the character he is playing) has emphatically ~not~ 'set the bozo bit' on usg.
asciilifeform: usg's present direction is the one where the shop keeper is made to answer for various usgistic misfortunes suffered by his staff (e.g., 'obamacare')
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it's usg that garnishes the wages, and then cuts the cheques (minus a vig)
asciilifeform: at least according to usg.
asciilifeform: this kind of usgistic rape has its advocates in ru, and they are - correctly - beaten on the streets or wherever found
mircea_popescu: usg gun git raped in the ass.
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 ?
asciilifeform: turned out that usg's cia and dept of s. only had so many bag lunches to pass out to idiots sitting and blocking streets
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: only other option was- usg
ascii_field: there is usg diktat and that's it.
ascii_field: and all questions of os aside, you will need to bake own silicon if you don't like running usg blobs.
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 15:08:18; asciilifeform: jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-11-2015#1317133 << out of curiosity, what are you using the usg client for ?
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.
asciilifeform: jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-11-2015#1317133 << out of curiosity, what are you using the usg client for ? ☝︎☟︎
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.
asciilifeform: the whole thing smells as strongly as anyone might wish, of usg pushing the bounds of the possible.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: spiffy article. but fails to mention that the writings of s. have not (afaik - has anyone tried hard?) been seen by the public; nor is it publicly known how and where usg obtained them (it is known, iirc, that they were NOT public)
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
asciilifeform: jurov: this kind of thing is arranged every time usg needs to ban another type of gun.
asciilifeform: they bring usg with them wherever they go. the way rats bring plague.
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 ☟︎
kakobrekla: asciilifeform but does usg really need to honeytrap ? as far as i get it, there is no need for such customs.
asciilifeform would like input from his WoT re: what is the correct thing to do with obvious usg honeytrapping as described earlier. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: they are the fodder on which usg lives.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: you gonna let the USG force you to shut down your node?
asciilifeform: i don't like manually kicking folks off my node, but this screams of usg entrapment
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.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: aha, why do you suppose they bothered to smash serbia and roll up all of old yugo into usg reich ?
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
asciilifeform: arguably a snore, because in practice usg already had doing-whatever-the-fuck-it-wants-to-whoever-it-wants powerz
asciilifeform: '“What we have to question ourselves is, as a society, do we really want to criminalise 13, 14 and 15 year-olds? Or do we want to understand their behaviour, engage with their incredible skillsets, mentor them and try to point them in the right direction?” she said.' << aha, a course of neuroleptics followed by lifetime indenture at junior www dev work in usg sharashka, is the implication.
asciilifeform: (this is a not altogether bad heuristic for what is a usg colony - can you bribe a traffic cop ?)
asciilifeform: eu is a usg colony
mircea_popescu: like hell. this is your "usg matters" delusion speaking.
asciilifeform: as i understand, cn is only involved in the sense that it is impervious to the usg orc-pushing current
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
asciilifeform: (transfer of usg moneys from one pot to another)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-11-2015#1314735 << usg wants a convenient three-byte marker for intel's hw rootkit to grep your ram for. any questions? ☝︎
asciilifeform: so usg has decided to prolong own life by feeding germany the kosovo pill.
asciilifeform: ... as a thin veil for usg's 'strategic supercomputing' pig trough
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.
asciilifeform: and wtf, the usg Official Truth is that MOST small arms homicides in usa have .22 hole.
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
asciilifeform: they sell 'verified' crypto to usg
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.
asciilifeform: (if anyone notices you have them, and they aren't taking the usg exams, you will have problems)
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.
ascii_field: ^ usg brags of its murders
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.
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 18:13:33; asciilifeform: 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'
