danielpbarron: ah, apparently they sucessfully booked him
asciilifeform: my own personal picture of him is, he isn't 'ideological' usg, but rather a fella who quit a promising academic career to turn soldier, and went half-deaf in afghan, along with devil knows what else; but was then rewarded with lucrative bureaucrat post. he won't be giving it up.

asciilifeform: everyone who likes proverbs pertaining to buggery - straight to this mega-resource.
asciilifeform: 'Ивану за атаку - хуй в сраку. А Маньке за пизду - Красную Звезду.' << related. 'ivan led the attack, got a cock in his back. masha's twat went far, got her a red star.' ( http://ordenrf.ru/upload/nagrady/orden-krasnoy-zvezdy-3-a.jpg )
asciilifeform: yet another was that it started life as 'to wish for to eat the fish and -not- sit down on the cock'
asciilifeform: (question is always asked, how are these two activities in conflict? one version holds that original was '[to wish for] to both eat the fish -and- suck the cock')
asciilifeform: 'и рыбку съесть и на хуй сесть' << '[wishes for] to both eat the fish -and- sit down on the cock'
asciilifeform: we have several versions of this proverb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the full form actually is, "vrabia malai viseaza si lenesul praznic" (and the lazy man, a saint's day feast). sorta reminiscent of your drowned boy.

asciilifeform: (see old thread, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=07-04-2015#1091295 etc) ☝︎
asciilifeform: the proximate goal of wassenar etc. is not to jail academics (though the 'chilling effect' is a bonus for usg) but to herd the legit multinational corps who mine winblows 0days (e.g., 'vupen') and sell on market, into usg banners.
asciilifeform: use of linux/bsd is a legal nsa 'selector.' this is publicly known by now. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and in between them, systemd.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the only thing usg likes more than chump running winblows is a chump who thinks he isn't, but is.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I thought it was to get people on the fence to return to winblows because they accidentally bought the wrong machine
asciilifeform: 'want a vga card? run usg blobs. get on your knees, ready to please.'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: objective there is to herd the remaining linux/bsd diehards onto nvidia/ati
BingoBoingo: Hence the intel graphics driver news
asciilifeform: usg is working on plugging holes in the wintel-to-nsa pipeline.
asciilifeform: it is also not a secret what they are pushing as 'wrong technology.'
mircea_popescu: we're the state slayer. worst group ever.
mircea_popescu: "Defence said the new rules are necessary to stop the wrong technology falling into the hands of states or groups of proliferation concern." << this is bound to collide with bitcoin in the mid term, by the way.

BingoBoingo: USia just just starting to derp about itw Wassenar implementation
asciilifeform: like pgp in the '90s
asciilifeform: it was formally proclaimed that 'security tools' and especially 0days proper are now considered 'arms'

assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 23:36:58; jurov: "You will be coming to us and we will be working with you," a DECO officer recently explained to academics. "When your ideas aren't necessarily that formed, it may be that we say to you, 'Look, at the moment we don't see any concern, come back to us at a further stage'."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1158532 << ok that shit's absolutely vile. ☝︎
