BingoBoingo: Yeah, I pity the USG philipenis stuck there without hanbot to tell them how it is
mircea_popescu: no locals engaging ? of course no locals. don't worry abut it, usg will ship foreign armed thugs across the border for as long as it takes you to kill it.
ascii_field: surely mircea_popescu knows that usg (esp. .mil) makes heavy use of an internal tard pgp by microshit
ascii_field struggles to think of even one useful tool that doesn't have a retarded usgized variant - e.g., gpg
mircea_popescu: "the xt is not a huge privacy hole because you can recompile it not to be. we're banking on thefact the fucktards in usg-zoo won'tanyway. we don't sign binaries but it could be done if needed except we're banking on idem"
mircea_popescu: different tools for different jobs as it were. the corrosive substance of usg-ness makes anyth9ng on the public net vulnerable, and zerging the only possible approach to survival.
asciilifeform: ergo paper gold is not market-separable, as it is, from actual gold; and usg silently prints it
asciilifeform: shinohai: aha. though 'usg 2.0' thus far gets considerably better mileage with paper diddling rather than classical confiscation
shinohai: Surely usg wants you to buy their minted gold.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1268026 << am i the only one getting a surreal usg flavour from eating this? it has a distinct feel of 'see, this is what you get for using something usg can't magic into existence to make you whole' ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 19-02-2015 20:48:27; ascii_field: great sim heist << transparent nsa smokescreen. gsm uses toy crypto since day one (usg mandate) and has always been breakable with minimal effort.
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 22:01:26; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1266458 << the principal way through which the usg world of chimps succeeds is by getting the intelligent people to withdraw rather than kill them.\
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-09-2015#1267674 << the way this works is that google silently drops messages not coming from 1) itself 2) 'blessed' usg-megacorp entities ☝︎
pete_dushenski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqfjiuqVrV4 << when usg says "jump," gates jumps !
mircea_popescu: "microagressions" come from a world that's not starshaped with the "usg" at the center of all things.
asciilifeform: they take place in usg fortresses
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'loses' is a smoke screen to begin with. usg never really loses a trial, how could it
asciilifeform: shinohai: 'they' == usg
assbot: Logged on 12-04-2015 02:55:30; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: my first gig out of school was at an abominable usg-contracting salt mine where little gurlz straight out of mit, for that fact alone, were promoted, repeatedly, over everyone else's head
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the lulziest part is that this is OFFICIAL usg newspeak. e.g., police 'swat' tanks in my town have big fat RESCUE stencilled on the side
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No point being able to beat full USG if vulnerable to papersigners like new look voorhes and shren at the same time.
mats: i have never ventured the opinion these mitigations actually defend against MS, INTC, USG, etc...
asciilifeform: mats: how does any of it raise the cost of usg using its dedicated pwnholes ?
assbot: Logged on 08-09-2015 22:01:26; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1266458 << the principal way through which the usg world of chimps succeeds is by getting the intelligent people to withdraw rather than kill them.\

mircea_popescu: the fact that they list 3 items, all three being from the list of usg-pretend-issues as opposed to the list of actual issues resolves to my mind the propaganda vs information dilemma. this is in no way related to reality, and entirely the result of how someoine wants reality to appear. any similarities to actual reality being purely coincidental.
ascii_field: it is they who are (whether aware of it or not) usg's intellectual shock troops
ascii_field: punkman: usg then 'sewed a case' for him and jailed.
funkenstein_: until then, she can stick with "usg is great because kills", "socialism is great because CERN", and "I am valuable because bipedal mouthbreather with below average epidermal albedo"
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: hehe, presumably via "As to the second point, that America > Europe because the former is in any way free of its own rent-seeking mandarin class, to quote an alf, look no further than USGavin, Paul Graham, Blablalawsky and their continued ability to buy groceries and pay rent."
mircea_popescu looks forward to shooting usg agents for sport.
mircea_popescu: and now ? where's the letter going "i was a fucking imbecile to sign with the usg!!11"
assbot: Logged on 07-09-2015 17:35:46; ascii_field: the real enabler is usg, of course, because not just anyone gets to harvest the chump armies.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-09-2015#1265812 << if this recipe were actually followed, you get a usg reich that lasts 10,000 years. still want ? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: analmaster: microaggression is supposed to be natural. like work, sex, and everything else villainised and illegalised by usg. sorta what monopoly on force means in praxis (monopoly on action)
ascii_field: mats: the way it works is, there are precisely two kinds of permitted mass media in usa: 1) usg 2) usg crank bait ☟︎
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: summary is, usg does whatever the fuck it wants
ascii_field: esr is an especially noxious worm for having the temerity to pretend that his career owes nothing to usg
ascii_field: 1) out of what, 6m 2) likely denominated in usg junk
pete_dushenski: 'usg "hires" you to lap up the welfare faucet drippings.'
ascii_field: the real enabler is usg, of course, because not just anyone gets to harvest the chump armies. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and ftr it's perfectly sound. who exactly do you suppose will get quarter for "having been a very competent usg agent" ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-09-2015#1264614 << note the standard slimeball blame shift to the folks who busted the bug vault, rather than the turds who collected and sat on the goodies for usgtronic purpose ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hiring in the traditional sense has no bearing on all this. it's "hiring", as in, usg "hires" you to lap up the welfare faucet drippings.
mircea_popescu: the entire decapitation of gavin thing, with its attendant disbelief on the enemy side and misallocation of resources/misinvestment of assets in dead pockets was such a major defeat for the usg, "the tikrit offensive"'s nothing compared.
funkenstein_: this is not my point any more than yours is to defend usgtronic idiocy
shinohai: I have no clue. usg feels that if a region is unstable and retarded then 'muricans can swoop in save the day and keep it all under their control?
assbot: Logged on 04-09-2015 21:44:38; mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> great, but why? << this is a complex point and would require some more indepth discussion to do it justice. in summary to my eyes it is an early attempt by the microsoft citatel to parlay compatibility problems of early linux into a "here, we've strangled it" usg solution. it failed to work irl, and the failure of java is torvalds' chief merit in this world. using it today is not unlike
asciilifeform: the one thing that i don't get is why mr schmuck is blowing a usgtron open
ascii_modem: usg empowers scum as deliberate policy.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> great, but why? << this is a complex point and would require some more indepth discussion to do it justice. in summary to my eyes it is an early attempt by the microsoft citatel to parlay compatibility problems of early linux into a "here, we've strangled it" usg solution. it failed to work irl, and the failure of java is torvalds' chief merit in this world. using it today is not unlike using ripple. you'r ☟︎
asciilifeform: usg 'expellas furca, tamen usque recurret' (tm) ☟︎
asciilifeform: usg is a planetary infestation, 'kicked out' is really a feeble and temporary thing.
mircea_popescu: to everyone's surprise, usg is the main driver of all things the usg "fights against".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which'd work for the usg rather than for alt-mp because why.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how one could be 17yo, a us citizen, and NOT sms nude pics of themselves to every single usg official in sighh
ascii_field: or in usg jail for having 'eye for an eye'-d
ascii_field: trinque: no shortage of this. picture the 'patriarch' in usg divorce court
asciilifeform: usg needs steady supply of rabid monkeys for 101 different purposes.
pete_dushenski: also, alf should send usgavin invoice for beefier bandwidth line. because 'bitcoin needs business services nao'
mircea_popescu: is reddit anything more than usg employees talking to spammers ?
ascii_field: the other detail is probably demographic - iraq median age, according to usg, is ~20; usa - ~40 !
ascii_field: the basic reason why no one is voluntarily turning usa into iraq, regardless of usg abuses, is something like the english saying 'people in glass houses do not throw stones'
ascii_field: iraq was nicely massaged into the bronze age by usg.
ascii_field: also 'high tech north kr' is often misunderstood concept. there is normally no need for usg to shoot anyone. instead they will cancel your food-and-rent card.
shinohai: I guess I misunderstand economics. The shittier your service is and moar closely aligned with usg interests, the moar successful it becomes.
asciilifeform: usg
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 05:33:47; mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> orlov fellates the boston harvaprinceyaleton liberast-wing-usg orthodoxy <<< and moscow does not ? puhleaze.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> orlov fellates the boston harvaprinceyaleton liberast-wing-usg orthodoxy <<< and moscow does not ? puhleaze. ☟︎
asciilifeform: the climategate thing is why i do not credit mircea_popescu's hypothesis re: orlov being a minion of moscow. orlov fellates the boston harvaprinceyaleton liberast-wing-usg orthodoxy
mats: I suspect daesh anticipated this play (not the first time its been used) and exploited USG willingness to aid
asciilifeform: (the one concerning isis-as-junkyard-dog-of-usg hypothesis)
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 00:38:55; mats: raped DoD, orc locals, just finished raping USG in their own court
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-09-2015#1259375 << they raped the u.s. ~taxpayer~. not to be confused with the stainless steel, quite unrapeable orifice of usg proper. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the poor usg how it only wanted to restore peace and democracy to those poor iraquians, beleaguered by corrupt officials and tyrannycal despotism as they were, and then this capitalist concern of evil capital came and abused the entire good will of the people of usia and their elected representatives.
mats: raped DoD, orc locals, just finished raping USG in their own court ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a corp with zero income, tonnes of spending, no plausible reason for existence save tax shelter for a schmuck, and zero usg blessing (rather the opposite!) is just a request for gassing
asciilifeform: aka usg feeding pool.
mircea_popescu: so no, microbes can not be used as substitute for your original " usg will happily carpetbomb own subjects if it needs to." specifically because that one chief ingredient is missing.
ascii_field: trinque: usg will happily carpetbomb own subjects if it needs to.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-09-2015#1258408 << how about first let the usg spend its resources on ultimately useless mining farm neh ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://fm.cnbc.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/img/editorial/2015/09/01/102963213-google.530x298.jpg?v=1441123832 << new usgoogle logo
ascii_field: usg won't diddle in the congo
asciilifeform: it's a straight 'buy cheap, sell dear, get occasional mountain of looted coinz from usg' deal, no ?
asciilifeform: they are not interested in it any more than usg is.
asciilifeform: general-purpose programmable computer is far more feared by usg than the most powerful dynamite.
ascii_field: can't wait for the usg yottahash mining farm where you need a signature from hitler to get your tx baked into block
ascii_field: Official ban proposed on open source anything in any apparatus containing a radio (5GHz at first, but usg sop camel nose)
ascii_field: basic idea here is an attempted ban on cheap chinese 'we won't lift a finger to enforce usg diktat' chipsets
mircea_popescu: im sure usg would love nothing more than everyone carrying a mandatory ipad
mircea_popescu: usg is running with this "let's make it so only an idiot would ever come to us" thing huh
asciilifeform: network - bitcoin. function - propagate blocks, transactions, as traditionally expected. load - sustained attack from every usg orc on the fucking planet, plus legitimate users.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the correct setting for the gedankenexperiment is 'serve usg or take the cyanide'
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> that's the new usg catchword for 'bitcoin agrees to quietly kill itself because That Is How The World Works' ? << in a word, yes.
ascii_field: that's the new usg catchword for 'bitcoin agrees to quietly kill itself because That Is How The World Works' ?
asciilifeform: the orcs who shoot at local cops are - all but formally - salaried employees of usg. doing what they were paid for.
mircea_popescu: the difference between the usg and reddit is vanishingly slim
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc this is still Official Truth in usgdom
mircea_popescu: this because the usg is a great expert at making claims and putting forth pretense, but can't generally pay a cup of coffee if it comes to it.
mircea_popescu: mats / ascii_field the dispute you're engaged in looks to me like a failure to agree upon terminology. alf thinks in terms of "competent user". mitigation as generally discussed thinks in term of "usg-spawned monkey which was allowed at a keyboard for no conceivable reason". in this later case, hotgluing the usb hole is a valid mitigation technique.
