mircea_popescu: anyway, i can appreciate the part where usg is there to give money to "compensate" the retarded kids that didn't reverse their spectrometer and so ended up with X loss tjhrough any of thbe multiple avenues. and i can appreciate how this makes lazy people manifest thjeir lazy.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu perhaps did not think that usg could be any moar retarded than it looks already, but here is a mega-secret: a great many (most?) u.s. laboratories have personnel empowered to purchase materiel (e.g., spectrometer) but not ever hire anyone.
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes usg can be rejected just by rejecting it. no, there aren't places where this actually hurts one. yes if one perceives to be hurt it's because one did something stupid in the past he'll have to undo. no this isn't anyone else's problem and no this calls for no sympathy.

assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 03:10:43; BingoBoingo: Given 2015 so far Hearnia must have planned to actually release XTCoin the first weekend of September. He ended up jumping the gun because USG pinoy spamzors. We won.
assbot: Logged on 18-08-2015 03:04:29; asciilifeform: mats: usg, like wheat (the latter as described in mircea_popescu's essay 'when you become wheat') thrives in a half-destroyed world
BingoBoingo: mats: What if your USG designated FEMA number puts your camp in southwest Missouri?

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mats: usg, like wheat (the latter as described in mircea_popescu's essay 'when you become wheat') thrives in a half-destroyed world << Corn loves raw manure, but wheat demand you first light the manure and then till it into the field

asciilifeform: <mats> the rest of the world failing around you is the early warning system << distinguish the natural (drought) from the usg-engineered (just about everything else) failures.
ascii_field: thing is, i don't get the whole concept of having any sympathy whatsoever for 'needs moar room' when 100% of everyone making this argument is either usg shill or their useful idiots
ascii_field: williamdunne: if i want to send money to usg, i can send it straight to usg
ascii_field: until deliverocalypse like stalin's 'spain will see the gold like it will see own ears without mirror' or usg's equiv. for de, etc.

mircea_popescu: wait, "across the usg" ?
asciilifeform: 'IAD recognizes that there will be a move, in the not distant future, to a quantum resistant algorithm suite. Based on experience in deploying Suite B, we have determined to start planning and communicating early about the upcoming transition to quantum resistant algorithms. Our ultimate goal is to provide cost effective security against a potential quantum computer. We are working with partners across the USG, vendors, and s
mircea_popescu: "teh shield of teh usg was strong in the 50s car industree"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: still i find it interesting how impenetrable the usg 'never happened because we say so' shield is
ascii_field: when annointed usg buttbuddy - then yes.

BingoBoingo: USG though always operates under the assumption Nixon era "Drugs once damaged forever" cridibility doctrine holds
BingoBoingo: Hastings may very well have simply pushed his luck one too many times with reckless behavior. In true Hunter S. Thompson fashion.

BingoBoingo: "Motorcycle Gangs" is USG code for blessed sons of the DEA. Nearly all their contemporary membership is eather hobbyist medical pros or former Law enforcement
ascii_field: (for n00bz: 'remote attestation' is this crackpot concept where usg has permanent root (yes) on 'your' computer, and uses it to verify that you aren't, e.g., running illegal linux)
mircea_popescu: current computer science favours the speed of light over other speeds "much more important to "us"". it is a serious fucking problem for usg/nsa/alphabetsoup that there still exist people who even vaguely understand what this shit even is, because even one in a million that can make actual decisions based on actual facts when that asshole asciilifeform publishes things about pgp keys or that asshole mircea_popescu thre
asciilifeform: the way 'yi yi zhi yi' works is that a usg fiefdom controls its lower classes, which might otherwise have some vitality left, by importing orcs
asciilifeform: the pakis are there on deliberate authority of the local affiliate of usg.
asciilifeform: they're stuck competing (for usg trough) with noblis et al
asciilifeform: not to mention the fact that au is a kind of proving ground for fresh usg idiocies, with simplified bureaucracy, desaparecido without so much as a squeak
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-08-2015#1235694 << if i had to move to another usg fiefdom, why not, e.g., midwest usa instead? same as australia, but easier resupply and fewer natural hazards ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: the safes existed to begin with on account of usg fiat
asciilifeform: iirc banned by usg
asciilifeform: 'intellectually challenged' is '90s-usg-speak for 'tard'
asciilifeform: the extra-lulzy 'meta' aspect of this is that the fella is becoming more and more of an open, frothing defender of usg-in-all-of-its-glory, e.g., https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/AsymmWarfare.htm
pete_dushenski: http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/anything-goes/official-ex-top-gear-team-sign-deal-amazon-video << usg picks up where bbc dropped ball
ascii_field: tell it to usg
asciilifeform: (more of an observation re: ciphers than hashes. until recently, usg did not give a rat's arse re: hashes)
asciilifeform: it always boggled my mind how anyone could have ever seen 'fips' etc. as representing anything other than 'breakable by usg with reasonable cost'
asciilifeform: the reason why all usg keys are generated at ft. meade and not in the field is also not public.
asciilifeform: as with all usg slogans, it has a very reversed 'freedom is slavery' meaning in reality
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-08-2015#1233785 << the usg-connected folks who specialize in bringing'em back in gotta eat ! ☝︎
asciilifeform: (also shows how usg police state was already firmly in place in that period, for anyone who had doubts)
BingoBoingo: USG agitators slacking on their Purge incitement
asciilifeform: mats: 'worth billions' in the usg empire has nothing to do with money, but with 'noble, aryan' blood
asciilifeform: plus the phree usg condoms don't have fruit juices, built-in vibratory devices, and other nonsense
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the way it works, is that nsf (usg direct) provided truck full of money. umd is just one of the bordellos with which this heap purchased whores
asciilifeform: british usg colonial lapdogs merely copied.
asciilifeform: (yes, the pakis are enforcers for usg.)
asciilifeform: 500k in what, usg uni tuition ? l0l
mircea_popescu: that was broadly my point, that the infantile "usg closes down so we're closing this park, and you'll be sorry!11" dies right here.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1229941 << similar system in usa. if you don't 'file tax', not only is there a fine levied, but the tax charged will be based on what usg 'thinks' you could have earned that year. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-08-2015#1229957 << orlov's mafia development stage. this is available ~right now~ just as in 1880 cosa nostra. BUT they use an ethnic filter to keep out usg. (the only filter known to work semi-reliably, sadly) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the only difference being that the usg was not either powerful enough or attentive enough to give a shit either way about consoles in the 80s.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: notice that usg vermin are almost defined by their fondness of 'formalize but not really formalize
mats: mircea_popescu: and USG is powerless to project power.
ascii_field: anyway mcaffee is something almost like a real person and not a good candidate. loose cannon from usg pov
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 15:33:07; mircea_popescu: honestly i'm surprised he's not more publicised. seems just the man to lead a "bitcoin resurection effort" "cryptosecure phone" or whatever other such usg-nonsense
mircea_popescu: honestly i'm surprised he's not more publicised. seems just the man to lead a "bitcoin resurection effort" "cryptosecure phone" or whatever other such usg-nonsense ☟︎
decimation: apparently there are special teams of usg employees for 'processing' such important folks
asciilifeform: the reason anyone (NOT skull&bones and paid $maxint for zero work) works for usg is precisely the same reason anyone works for zimbabwe or mali:
asciilifeform: did anyone ~really~ expect to hear about ACTUAL opposition, the kind with teeth, to usg, from usg-controlled media organs /
asciilifeform: this is a standard usg racket:
