asciilifeform: not like there ever were REAL damaging-to-usg leaks on the net.
asciilifeform: 'secure'-only-against-sp4mz0rz is just another way to say 'anal rape by usg but with anaesthesia so you aren't acutely writhing in pain from it'
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' ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's enough to drive one stack. im surprise not more usg-kgb folks go on murder rampages. i know i would.

mircea_popescu: well... looking for where i said teh poor usg is between rock and hard place, if it misses but once it's fucked, i instead found http://trilema.com/2012/why-smpoe-is-worth-more-than-mtgox/

asciilifeform: even bums will often 'drive' a motorized wheelchair thing (provided by usg, through some byzantine and ancient pension thing)
ascii_field: afaik usg does not even think in these terms
ascii_field: as i understand, the ethereum thing was not purely a classical scam, but has abstract/usgtronic political aims
mircea_popescu: usg can not afford a hundred btc loss
ascii_field: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3pofdv/consensys_absorbing_whats_left_of_ethereum (from qntra commentz) << lulzy. yet again a new usg shill corp. to handle shitcoinatronics

ascii_field: ;;later tell ben_vulpes re: article: usg won't 'hand out cash' for the same reason that comcast et al doesn't actually promise 1Gb/s at 100% dutycycle. (the rest of it, i have failed to make sense of)

asciilifeform: interesting moar for the fact of malaysia enabling arbitrary kidnapping by usg of whoever

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: rumour has it there are still usg facilities that have problems with the newfangled electric things. fbi headquarters (the brutalist monster death start in washington) has, i'm told, ethernet snakes on the floor
ascii_field: and at any rate this is a beautiful election. teaches the childrenz how ~actual~ usg works
ben_vulpes: cocaine and heroin only have brands insofar as the usg propaganda machine defines them to.
ascii_field: 'we will save you from usg unless ordered not to by usg so don't be surprised if never. but you can feel great!'
mircea_popescu: "everybody knows that everything exists at the pleasure of usg hurr durr" sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: NOTHING exists at usg's pleasure. not one thing.
ascii_field: foia is a palliative circus which exists at usg's pleasure.
mircea_popescu: and it would seem the usg is going towards withdrawing support.
pete_dushenski: usgavin wouldn't suffer any from hosting fillies in mehico for a private concert, meet + greet (+bang) like these kids
mircea_popescu: ansd you know, the universal supreme goat council (USG) had a secret conspiracy to import wolves into the forest, to keep the baby goat herding behaviour going\
assbot: Logged on 11-10-2015 20:06:41; 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.
ascii_field: the way i see it, usg continues in the effort to force folks off classical clients
mircea_popescu: da fuck does that even mean, "usg does not support"
ascii_field: support, oppose, usg's golems work either way.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not even usg related. it is CHEAPER.
asciilifeform: usg would rather have a herd of depressives than manics, yes
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.

asciilifeform: where i live, at present, any experimentation in selectors ~other than rent bezzle~ is specifically forbidden by usg.

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.

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: but the uniform prohibition on every conceivable thing that diddles neurons, ~is~ an organized usgism
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: heck, bitcoin got a lot better once it cut itself off from the usgavin & freiends
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.
