decimation: and considering that every usg agency is effectively a megaproject, usg operates on maybe 1% of its outlays

asciilifeform: of schmuck vs usg proper ?

decimation: mircea_popescu: it might all be moot if usg's interest rate ticks up

mircea_popescu: what's the outlook on what they can make if usg dole dries up ?

asciilifeform: it 'helps' in the sense of (as they hope) setting up money siphon from usg

decimation: no, actually it was originall designed to be wedged into a usg radar system

funkenstein_: i'm not in the know, but always assumed various usg hat wearing agencies mostly competed with other usg hat wearing agencies

decimation: if only to make it obvious that usg employees can't trust usg to keep them safe

asciilifeform: kju 'annoys usg' in strictly-circumscribed kabuki defined by his elders.

decimation: of course the opm hack did about 1000x more damage to usg

decimation: yeah, but dpr has already shown how to annoy usg

asciilifeform: great idea if usg pays.

decimation: which I think is now actually owned by usg

decimation: nope, not usg

asciilifeform: usg scam

asciilifeform: how this wins, other than by scamming usg, is unclear to me

asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if archaeologists ever turn up a 'greenarrays' in usg gear

decimation: usg 'collects' technology in exactly this way

decimation: now usg is stuck forever

asciilifeform: i see dratel as a pretty obvious case of usg mole

mircea_popescu: the same would have been true if they were fighting cancer as is true when they are fighting the usg.

ascii_field: (usg counts as 'employed' anyone of working age who isn't collecting state-funded 'unemployment pension')

williamdunne: ascii_field: nah, but USG stats are what, 4%? I reckon 10% is about right

ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-06-2015#1174561 << wai wat?! we're swallowing usg stats now ? ☝︎

ascii_field: incidentally, usg - like the regime portrayed by orwell - spends $maxint on attempts to 'read minds'. not always even laughably stupid - the mri 'has seen this object or not before' trick appears to actually work

ascii_field: speaking of 'brainwallet', mircea_popescu's picture of usg prison where 'lifetime pension' is probably not long for this world.

ascii_field: still works great for original purpose for which was built (siphon of usg budget to good ol'boys, what did you think it was)

jurov: that's clear "usg wants you"

ag3nt_zer0: anyone else see this?: http://news.google.com/news/url?sr=1&ct2=us%2F1_0_s_0_1_a&sa=t&usg=AFQjCNGXNGPBMfwnUjDkQ50881YdL1b3IQ&cid=52778884659320&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.techworm.net%2F2015%2F06%2Fgoogle-chrome-secretly-downloads-an-audio-listener-to-your-pc-that-can-snoop-on-you.html&ei=bo-IVainNMHsmALdxKO4Dw&rt=SECTION&vm=STANDARD&bvm=section&did=-2365193554698942914&sid=-2195956548148024079&ssid=cstm&at=dt0

mircea_popescu: i have no doubt it is essentially correct, which is why i speak for isis more than i speak for the usg.

BingoBoingo: cazalla: My CYP450 2D6 is too fast to try that. Converts it to its worst form too fast for a hellish peak (/me kinda also regrets spitting in a tube so USG could profile my dna to discover this)

BingoBoingo: USG datacenters 10 miles away in Marion, IL off of the pipe path because prisons and FBU

asciilifeform: places which only even have telephones because usg imposed it

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: USG is on that list plenty of times.

asciilifeform personally requisitioned an allegro license & support contract while under usg banners

asciilifeform: http://franz.com/success << claimed endorsements. notably absent from list is usg, who i have strong reasons to believe is the main buyer.

ben_vulpes: by the time the usg realizes that there's a btc-shaped train headed its way it will be too late for it to do anything.

mod6: yeah that /27 was through Qwest (now CenturyLink (usg isp)), now 1 static is included from cumcast "out of the box" iirc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't a boxing match if one of the fellas in the ring has a pistol. the hordes had usg on their side

decimation: but I would also note that 'come be an inside reformer' is also a usg recruitment trick

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: his entire thesis is that the more demented sects of puritanism merged together, shed the unnecessary legs and wings, and turned into usg as we know it (or rather, the original intellectual underpinnings thereof)

decimation: yeah, if anything his strongest indictments are against usg's foreign policy 'complex'

decimation: asciilifeform: no, in fact said mexicans end up justifying budgets for even more usg

asciilifeform: fact is, there is not any meaningful resistance to usg on own turf. there are criminals who imagine themselves resisting, e.g., mexican mafia, but actually live in symbiosis with 'war on drugs'

asciilifeform: i will describe, for the benefit of n00bz, the typical career path of 'let's resist usg through action' in usgland: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-04-2014#623044 ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu might say that it is because mr mold has no balls. i would say that i cannot comment on whether he has balls, but will point out that having a brain is a handicap if contemplating active resistance to usg, without support of foreign army, from inside its walls

asciilifeform: usg bought it at fire sale

asciilifeform: when i say 'ineffective,' my thought is 'usg can survive as many of these as are ever likely to appear'

asciilifeform: (why did he wait for the usg snakepit to empty?)

asciilifeform: this'd be if he had shot the usg polizei repossessing his house, or the like

asciilifeform: i'd like to believe that 'happened.' but want to know ~how~. e.g., are there fewer usg cops today than last week? is the fed printing fewer usd ? what, precisely, is this mark.

asciilifeform: or, on other end of the spectrum, 'isis' et al - also run by & for tards (and usg stooges)

decimation: if you fill out reams of usg paperwork and file for license you can also have .50 machine gun

decimation: but this will be the one corner case that will justify $mil in usg 'requirements'

decimation: usg sells shell as surplus, can reload yourself

decimation: he told me the cheapest way to get ammo is to buy usg surplus

trinque: asciilifeform | http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-06-2015#1169198 << umpteenth 'usg vs. clinically retarded schmuck' match. wake me up when the 'usg vs. smart folks' match is being played. << weather's getting hotter all the time ☝︎

decimation: who knows how that cost is calculated, because an arbitrary number of usg throne-keepers could be bundled

trinque: among the waste in usg, air force one is way in the long tail

decimation: it's almost dead predictable every time a new tech cycle comes around: usg spends $bil on 'new tech that will save lots of money', fails any gains, actual people working in the field are displaced by carpetbaggers

ascii_field: decimation: afaik 100% of usg code that actually ~works~ is 1995 and prior

decimation: ascii_field: re: JTRS < lolfest of usg spending on academitardation

mats: usg is the only actor id be worried about breaching my home

ascii_field: so fuck usg.

ascii_field: mats: try to think like usg. police show up, you are alive and slum bunny is dead. prosecutor: 'proof that he had the bolt in. otherwise he oughta be dead.'

assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 03:47:32; decimation: apparently you can craft your own suppressor if you pay USG $200

decimation: apparently you can craft your own suppressor if you pay USG $200 ☟︎

asciilifeform: (the upper half of that rifle, on account of some peculiar usg archaicism, is sold openly)

assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 00:35:22; BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i suspect the usg policy against private small arms has finally found the chokehold : drive the manufacturers out of business. << Most of the good "Colt" designs are now made better by others. Argentinas Taurus is one.

ascii_field: thing is, classic js, for all the turdaliciousness, was 'too debuggable' for usg tastes.

mats: i'm under the mistaken impression that USG only gives contracts to US corps

mircea_popescu: <mats> mighta had a chance if privately owned by black disabled lesbian << no. belgian firm has to import weapons, so they can be kept off mnarket. colt does not hyave to import anythinfg, can just turn around and sell. the usg will award no further contracts for anything to anyone who can also sell to us civillians, jus watch.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i suspect the usg policy against private small arms has finally found the chokehold : drive the manufacturers out of business. << Most of the good "Colt" designs are now made better by others. Argentinas Taurus is one. ☟︎

ascii_field: afaik colt did not actually manufacture anything, in own factories, other than usg orders, for some years (decades?)

mircea_popescu: i suspect the usg policy against private small arms has finally found the chokehold : drive the manufacturers out of business.

ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1166824 << apparently dead instantly on account of losing favour with usg. ☝︎

shinohai: 13-06-2015 00:30:49 <asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-06-2015#1162846 << gotta love usg. always 'chinese wreckers stole,' never 'microshit turdows spilled' (agrees) ☝︎

ascii_field: usg sop.

ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1166571 << many usg subjects see the crown in much the same light as little children see their demented violent alcoholic father ☝︎

ascii_field: 'we usg gnomes are to have control, because fuck you and ~democracy~ and also fuck you'

ascii_field: funkenstein_: they are out, but belong to usg & its antipodal counterparts

jurov: mircea_popescu: it comes out that if you ever decide to relocate alf, will need to manage it and provide usg-level amenities

asciilifeform: 'There is a discussion on FAA meetings about encrypting the ADS-B signal. By angering the authorities, we will only speed up this process.' << holy fuck the idiocy. i have idea! let's give usg brass cars without license plates ! that way no one will ~ever~ know where they are.

mircea_popescu: eh, you might discover that chinese honeymoon much more pleasant than usg dregs.

mats: usg has the next best thing to a naval base in south china sea
