ascii_field: because
usg has the means to feed full-time programmers, and we do not.
☟︎ ascii_field: i just think it is grimly hilarious how everything we've spoken of here ~will~ be implemented in bastardized
usg versions
☟︎ ascii_field: 'galaxy, star, planet, moon, comet' << glorious. they retired the naval org chart (before that, prior to mr mold selling out to
usg, it was feudal titles of nobility - as in my former 'dukedom')
☟︎ mircea_popescu: o check it out, 2/3 items in cazalla's screenshot are about
usgavin's scamcoin. and wtf is sabr.io
mircea_popescu: o wait. they also think wrinkly old
usgfag qualifies huh.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seriously, it seems like this thing aims to be ~ urbit. made by people of the same exact ilk ("got some
usg payola") but who understand EVEN LESS of computing.
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 23:06:24; mircea_popescu: the proposition is that the
usg exists as a system of stupid people, dedicated to the supporting of stupidity and the containing of the threat (to them) presented by intelligence.
assbot: Logged on 31-08-2014 18:41:22; asciilifeform: 'escape' means there's a missile battery (or, at the threadbare minimum, 24/7 death squad) standing between
usg and you.
assbot: Logged on 18-09-2015 17:31:54; ascii_field: the only thing the offerings of
usg ~provably~ are able to do is to lighten your wallet.

usg exists as a system of stupid people, dedicated to the supporting of stupidity and the containing of the threat (to them) presented by intelligence.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and re the "heckler's idea of conspiracy" : it is not the proposition that the
usg consists of some evil overlord petting a cat buried under concrete somewhere while tons of mindless drones to the biddings without complaint. nor is the proposition that a secret conclave of shaved heads secretly meet at my pillar every 5th wednesday.

usg has a very effective program for soaking them up << I'm pretty sure the push to get people into grad school rather than employment 2007-2011 was exactly this
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278613 << climatologism looks particularly bad because it was so egregious. none of the people involved were any good at any point. the fact that the
usg has managed to marshal the equivalent of local mcdonalds supervisors into "science" is really very much calked off the soviets' "here's this apprentice shoemaker who is our expert biologist". it has no known equivalent o
☝︎ mircea_popescu: so,
usg-"earth sciences",
usg-"computer security",
usg-"womens studies",
usg-whathaveyou are in fact actually worthless.
mircea_popescu: e equipped with infinite patience may find isolated useful items in that outpour. it is necessarily true however that such finds won't be worth the expense. this is not coincidental - consider the earlier discussion as to how we distinguish
usg disinfo from genuinely interesting items.
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1266663 etc.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-09-2015#1278610 << the view is valid, if mats is curious of my position. nobody cares about the actual "names" / "careers" involved, as per the pseudoscience article, they can be safely ignored. the important point however is that while
usg spends a lot of money on "research", the expenditure is PREDICATED on it being "research", ie, not actual research. it is perhaps true that on
☝︎ ascii_field: and the ultimate litmus test for whether a proposed security mechanism is
usgistic: 'does this item INCREASE - or DECREASE - the amount of complexity present in the system, for which i must defer to someone's authority to determine whether it does what was promised ?'
ascii_field: the only thing the offerings of
usg ~provably~ are able to do is to lighten your wallet.
☟︎ ascii_field: from
usg's point of view, ANYTHING is better than having folks wake up to cpu-with-bounds-checking-on-all-ops and fits-in-head
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field>

☟︎ ascii_field:
usg has a very effective program for soaking them up
ascii_field: but that overall DIRECTIONS of research that are given support by
usg in past decade are specifically counterproductive
mats:
USG is a fount of grants for certain fields, computer security is one of those blessed. consideration of all
USG research as poisoned fruit is your prerogative, but for me, extraordinary and specific claims require extraordinarily specific evidence. like someone diddling an IR parser.
ascii_field: but as an overall panacea, it is a
usgism.
punkman: a commodity, security, currency, whatever each
USG entity needs to call it in order to pretend they have authority over it

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Price signal improved, FU
USG, or is better price signal impossible without MPEx options?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> well at least the shitheads didn't try to trademark the integral sign << Amazing where tiny bits of proto-sanity appear in
USG ascii_field:
usg lives & breathes embrace&extenduish via 'STANDARDS!!!111'
BingoBoingo: I might not wish well the
USG, but I don't want them to get Trump... Where is the challenge in that
mircea_popescu: no see, i'm rich like mircea not rich like
usg. i tend to want to see roi.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: if you must africa, consider addis ababa << Too

mircea_popescu: if teh server bs continues, we end up hosting on

usg's latvia. <<< But A-10's stationed in Romania. If only the US upgraded its highest performing Air-to-Air platform... the A-10
assbot: Logged on 15-09-2015 21:08:37; ascii_field: 'radical islam' is a
usg golem created to diddle ru
ascii_field: 'radical islam' is a
usg golem created to diddle ru
☟︎ mats: their wealth, influence, and manpower is transnational, transcontinental, requires no fuel from
usg to exist
mats: isis doesn't need to destroy
usg to survive
ascii_field: but the degree of control
usg actually wants or needs is minimal.
mircea_popescu: see ascii_field ye olde "bitcoin perverts nsa" thing ? cuts both ways. finding oneself in the sort of situation the
usg finds itself ALSO perverts.
BingoBoingo: anton_osika: And further to the point, I don't think Kraken is in any position to attest to anything seeing how it is the
USG appointed tool for distributing MtGox's carcass
mircea_popescu: and with the force the 4th guy... the whole thing looked more like turf war between rival drug lords, on of which being the
usg, than anything legitimate.
ascii_field: my point was that
usg is not burdened with the need to lie ~plausibly~.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it's a straight
usg colony
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Nah, you gotta understand when Intel goes bust
USG will have monsanto to fab chips
mircea_popescu: this connection between one interest and another interest is most embarassing to the
usg, in the way it keeps exposing the hush hush inflation problem.
mircea_popescu: yet somehow the proposition is that "
usg" has a sort of control over an activity which generally fails.
mircea_popescu:
usg is roughly in the position of the guy lost on a deserted island, who comes out of the closet, toi the rocks and the palm trees.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu was right, you can instantly smell
usg pheromone because it invariably forces the exact same retardation EVERY TIME
ascii_field: prolly more honest than anything that will ever come out of a
usg foundry.
ascii_field: and it wasn't
usg in particular, but industrial slave empires in general
thestringpuller: wish i could find that thread you spoke on about how modern jet production is inaccessible to non
USG-tied entities.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik the way
usg works, the check shows up no matter what
mircea_popescu: arguably in the same circumstances :
usg derpiong finally crashed a local power sturcture, waves of ro/bg/polish/east german etc came crashing down
ben_vulpes: wait, is it /their/ MIT or the
USG MIT?
mircea_popescu: trinque well yeah, because the
usg has figured that hey, we don't keep males for the herds of goats, sheep, cattle etc except maybe 1:100. with modern insemination techniques more like 1:500. why should we keep so many males in human herd ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: the
usg-approved, built-in-tax-collector-and-stoolie altcoin is finally rolled out. << lmao "taler", who the fuck came up with that one. but anyway, no. they are weak and know they're weak. throwing shit at wall to see if maybe sticks but in no case admitting ownership. so... no.
