decimation: usg is nominally responsible for the 'security' of all of its computers and a good deal of its subsidary's
ascii_field: and i can't fathom why anyone outside of usg walls would even consider using this
decimation: trinque: what do you expect? usg was using lisp?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform usg style is also consistent over long periods, so much so that it makes gavin read like reddit etc.
asciilifeform: usg parlance for 'what you have to shove in the safe at the end of a shift'
mircea_popescu: which is why all the charade and all the dancing. and yes the various jews, selected goats, ibms m$ and usg will be beheaded for this fault "of theirs",
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2015 05:35:06; decimation: but you make a point - the software industry (and usg in general) has mastered the art of wasting the productivity of its population
decimation: yarvin wrote about this pattern in the policy side of usg as the smartest bureaucrats exactly cancelling each other's efforts
decimation: but you make a point - the software industry (and usg in general) has mastered the art of wasting the productivity of its population ☟︎
decimation: yeah, if not this usg than another one
asciilifeform: as it is, the industry is ~intrinsically~ usgtronic
asciilifeform: the coveted 'garden of eden' situation where ~there isn't a microshit~, when there is not a usg department-of-computing that has its tentacles in every orifice - won't be coming back until some quasi-mythical breakthrough decentralizes chip fabbing
Bingo_VACAY: Shanghai no point biting PenTagon's penis. Preservved in USG lab as complaint and not intimidating
mircea_popescu: usg sez "GLOBALIZED NERDS!!11"
assbot: Logged on 25-07-2015 02:08:19; decimation: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-24/google-has-way-to-unclog-drone-filled-skies-like-it-did-the-web < google salivates over the idea of appointing itself 'usg commissar of drones'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-07-2015#1212471 << more like, only path to survival for google. they don't have an actual place in the marketplace, they're much too large, old and ossified to find one. if they don't pull a redhat/mcdonalds/walmart/whatever and screw themselves in the usg spigot, they're going the way of revlon. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 24-07-2015 23:59:48; asciilifeform: usg has a firm grasp on milking the real feed base - the low-six-fig-usd artisan
asciilifeform: good way to build a free gift of hash for usg
decimation: asciilifeform: actually I was thinking about how one could buy otherwise useless land in the desert, get usg to subsidize solar, and sell space in a 'miner's datacenter'
asciilifeform: ergo when usg throws money to academitards, it really enriches the vultures who feed on the latter
asciilifeform: these exist at the pleasure of usg.
decimation: of course wapo thinks it's an evil idea, but perfectly fine for usg/telcoms to do it
decimation: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-24/google-has-way-to-unclog-drone-filled-skies-like-it-did-the-web < google salivates over the idea of appointing itself 'usg commissar of drones' ☟︎
decimation: asciilifeform: usg should drop all income and gains taxes and only tax consumption
asciilifeform: usg has a firm grasp on milking the real feed base - the low-six-fig-usd artisan ☟︎
ascii_field: funkenstein_: years can pass quickly when usg diddles ntp
decimation: the mind boggles at the various little staffers dreaming of ways to ensure the survival of the present usg regime even long beyond their own retirements
decimation: some pleb saving and endowing a fortune outside of usg's control is unthinkable
decimation: of course, the answer is the same as your powerplant theory: usg-unapproved power centers must be strangled in the crib
decimation: yes but this particular feature is interesting: why would usg want to ensure that the children fail to gain 'independent wealth'
asciilifeform: usg doesn't like the idea of plebes with megawatt in their pocket, that's all
BingoBoingo: Eventually USG will fall and finally I can ssemble motorcarriage I like
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: usg is specifically opposed to inexpensive, simple, reliable fission
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-07-2015#1211262 << actually this is a fairly legitimate way to try and hinder btc mempool propagation from the usg side. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and i'll say this to assuage your doubts : i am the man who said "you are not safe, for we know where you live". a year and change later, reality has borne my saying : the entire usg employee list, leaked. etc. ☟︎
asciilifeform: perhaps on that other internet, the one not owned & operated by usg subsidiaries
mircea_popescu: this is why i say " within a decade we will see full area denial in the sense that no govt anything will still run online.". they're simply too weak and ineffectual to do anything that matters, and even they know it. by 2025 internet will be exactly like iraq for the usg.
asciilifeform gives up trying to 'make sense' of this nyooz, because, yes, it does not actually make sense as presented by usg
asciilifeform: sorta like dope peddler who buys a bag of 'coke' (sugar) from one usg provocateur and sells it to another
mircea_popescu: in any case : the front against the usg in the cyber world is only going to strengthen the way it's going. within a decade we will see full area denial in the sense that no govt anything will still run online. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: such derps = usg law enforcement.
mircea_popescu: "Additionally, the FBI said that the Murgio sold bitcoins to victims of ransomware attacks such as Cryptowall. " << yeah, like various USG offices, including if memory serves a sherrif. i suppose this is now a crime, right ? selling bitcoin to the derps. them using public funds to pay the ransom IS FINE!
assbot: Logged on 23-07-2015 04:23:12; BingoBoingo: decimation: Predator follows USg school of design which created "Abrams"
BingoBoingo: decimation: Predator follows USg school of design which created "Abrams" ☟︎
decimation: meh. usg doesn't have the energy to startup death camps
asciilifeform: very easy to 'give less of a shit about govt' all the way until you find yourself trying the 'be tribal' thing in a usg death camp.
asciilifeform: trinque: getting killed by a dedicated usg death squad is an exam of sorts. can one pass this exam and not be someone worth considering ?
ascii_field: ^ vaguely usgtronic academitard
asciilifeform: because of - apparently - usg diddling the pipes.
asciilifeform: ^ this one is even more interesting than commonly supposed: one needn't even be usg to access purchase records! they are, i learned, routinely subpoenaed in civil cases
assbot: Logged on 21-07-2015 11:40:52; mircea_popescu: so random schmuck today finds himself in the following situation : if he goes anywhere, taking uber, all his travel is in usg db.
decimation: ^ usg should raise all its money this way, voluntary taxes: "Funding the $1e9 joint strike fighter: at the $1e7 level:recieve turd hand-polished to the same specifications as the canopy"
decimation: http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-072015a-smithsonian-kickstarter-armstrong-spacesuit.html < a new low for usg - begging for money on kickstarter
mircea_popescu: so random schmuck today finds himself in the following situation : if he goes anywhere, taking uber, all his travel is in usg db. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Ones who read. USG department of internet says that no. Bandwidth usage must never correlate with actual readership. So packet inflation.
mircea_popescu: and then im supposed to not suspect usg is out there ddosing everything.
mircea_popescu: the only endpoint for that is where rhel ended up : a cheaper USG Department of Windows.
asciilifeform: if the miners want to march into a usg mousetrap, no problem
decimation: virii/malware benefit mcaffee and usg's 'cyber' budget
asciilifeform: and since we aren't a usg wankatron like tor, there is no reason for all of the 'gates' to be publicly advertised
decimation: yeah it was burning man when usg agent demanded royal tent serviced by servants
decimation: phf: yes, the same ones who staff usg bureaucracies and corporations
asciilifeform: the gas can item is notable for the sheer ham-handedness of the usgification
mircea_popescu: it has a little leg to stand on, at least. inasmuch as usg claims a mandate to regulate everything, every failure of regulation is on their head.
asciilifeform: ^ actually 9 out of 10 times that i smash some piece of shit from sheer contempt, it is because of chinafication and 'market' penny-shaving, rather than direct usg mandated suck
mod6: i've got a wide mouth USG pos that would light my damn balls on fire in the process.
mod6: typicall usg: take something that works perfectly well and then wreck the goddamnthing
decimation: mod6: http://lfb.org/how-government-wrecked-the-gas-can/ < of course, the reason for you gas can problems is usg
asciilifeform: (the highest rank in usg's 'non-political' civil service ladder.)
asciilifeform: they're merely the latest incarnation of usg's dept. of foreign devil menace.
assbot: Maryland Del. Ariana Kelly charged with indecent exposure, trespassing - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1LoXUSg )
asciilifeform: usg - free
asciilifeform: donated by usg
asciilifeform: one may speculate all day re: the particulars of usg 'glass artillery', but it suffices to say that such is not fired at a crowd
asciilifeform: usg could find him inside an hour by, e.g., issuing an xp 'update'
asciilifeform had a thought: possibly, if satoshi's stash were ~larger~ than it is, he could be considered 'beyond reproach' if he were to surface and propose a fork, on the logic that he could not stand to gain from any deception. but it still would not rule out usgification, or simple error.
asciilifeform: usg actually had (has?) some chick leading a crackpot mains current to hydrocarbon (yes, electrolysis + oddball catalysts) mega-wunderwaffen dept. in the navy
decimation: he's figured out how to sell 'dreams' in exchange for usg subsidy and hype
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Telco+214+Inc/@28.04003,-80.595088,3a,75y,3.38h,89.37t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1supX6Yd_ND2dyvMRDvs96Yw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x88de12494bab5cdb:0x6c83f4d824af9701!6m1!1e1?hl=en << usg miner
ascii_field: i'll confess that my first thought, if anything were ever to appear signed with satoshi's key, that he has finally been found, killed, and usgificated.
mircea_popescu: but in actual fact the usg idiots have done such a good job at burying themselves, that it likely wouldn't even be needed, today.
assbot: Logged on 16-07-2015 01:37:47; asciilifeform: gotta admit, usg switching to funding tx spam with stolen coin, rather than giving it at mega-discount to mircea_popescu et al, was a less-retarded-than-usual move
decimation: very typically your company will have a short list of 'funds' in which you can invest your usg-blessed 'deferred tax' money
mircea_popescu: there is nothing that the usg has ever done or could ever do that has even the faintest whiff of permanence. not one thing.
mircea_popescu: just like every single last schmuck working for the usg must know that one day we will hang him for ~THAT~ crime, just so every schmuck fucking around with "bitcoiin development" must know that one day, his efforts will be undone and we revert.
asciilifeform: gotta admit, usg switching to funding tx spam with stolen coin, rather than giving it at mega-discount to mircea_popescu et al, was a less-retarded-than-usual move ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-07-2015#1202562 << admitting that the entire point of the usg is to prevent fun. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: what i gathered from what you were saying yest was that they contain an actual spendable tx that will be accepted as input for future txn by future usg clients, thus forking off the legitimate network
asciilifeform: skorjanc, usg claims, was ratted out by a stoolie
decimation: http://spacecoastdaily.com/2015/07/blastoff-atlas-v-successfully-launched-from-cape-canaveral-air-force-station/ < usg manages to lauch another gps satellite
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-07-2015#1202458 << usg sop. consider, if they did not proclaim to have found 'quality dope', might have to let him go ☝︎
asciilifeform: ^ usg training drills for cw2
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-07-2015#1202343 << this contemptible bit of usgism suggests that one ought to use modern crypto in the camera. that would make it quite impossible for the enemy to determine that it had taken a photo of anyone in particular - or for that matter how many; or for it to disgorge any bits whatsoever to an enemy probe. ☝︎
asciilifeform: like any industrial-strength chumpamatic, usg-history typically leads you to 'conclude'... the very premises of the syllogism behind the conclusions.
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: when you build mental world out of usg's 'legos', don't be surprised if you find yourself reaching their 'recommended' conclusions.
asciilifeform: building new things on it? even if usg were not getting in the way? not so appealing imho
asciilifeform: a local scrap dealer i will not presently name, sells retired usg contractors' boxes, often with whole shebang still in.
ag3nt_zer0: "adoption as official usg policy in a mildly perverted form" << via buterin's waterfall?
asciilifeform: ag3nt_zer0: it wasn't especially viable then. and after adoption as official usg policy in a mildly perverted form, i can't think of who might voluntarily work with such a thing today
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i mean, yes, bitpay is a usg op << My impression is BitPay is under such constraints because born insufficiently USG, now merely avoiding a Shreming
