decimation: also they would very likely summon
usg mircea_popescu: "ideology" ? yeah, that's right :
usg's fucking ideology.
mircea_popescu: and the infortmation of WHO READS IT is not
usg's business.
ascii_field: for all we know,
usg just finished installing 900Mhz intercept network and now is banking on 'streisand effect' to get us to use it.
ascii_field: punkman: not like
usg considers the question 'is this trivial to make' before they gag
ascii_field: pretty snoreworthy idea, but apparently hamhandedly desaparecido by
usg ascii_modem: back to the mexican fella - in a very important sense he is more dependent on
usg staying in business than a u.s. post office director
mircea_popescu: by the time "systemd" is a word,
usg-as-nsa is no longer.
ascii_modem:
usg hasnt given a fuk re conquest in the normal sense of the word since war with spain.
decimation: so it would indirectly funded by
usg at best
decimation:
usg's classic move is to pay $mil to contractor to tell it how it sucks, and then do nothing with the results
ascii_modem: gabriel_laddel:
usg claims earth and all of known unviverse
mircea_popescu: i guess as the flesh sears under the hot tongs, "high ranking"
usg employees will scream how people "willingly paid taxes"
decimation: about 80% of
usg depends on these kinds of 'willingly' gotchas
ascii_modem: both the money and the meat - countereconomic voodoo creations of
usg mircea_popescu: that's a major point incidentally. we'll have to make our own crypto oscars, this
usg situation is untenable
ascii_modem: 2) just about 'anyone who's anyone' in that entire subdiscipline is a
usg career
decimation: mircea_popescu: I buy your political reasons, but aes was the 'winner' of a fairly large and open 'competition' and was then recommended by
usg. How is that 'coming out of nowhere'?
decimation: it's been well covered in the us media that walmart 'arbitrages'
usg benefits/slaves into profit
mircea_popescu: fucking hell, having
usg-ssh imported into bitcoin wasn't bad enough
decimation:
usg can no longer employ/manage to keep the thing running
decimation: because now even the little kids growing up today will know what they are signing up for if they work for
usg decimation: actually I predict this event will mark a turning point for
usg mircea_popescu: all i see here is, the
usg is no longer a virgin. today, china raped them and they thanked it for the service.
decimation: you set rtc,
usg doesn't set your clock?
jurov: and i keep telling you they already do cuz internet *is*
usg institution
jurov: what is
usg to do? risk diddling time on throngs of linux/windows machines?
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 01:59:04; asciilifeform: and this kind of dull, mechanistic diddlage is precisely what
usg specializes in
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 02:13:37; asciilifeform: the coasts are where
usg hands out payola.
mircea_popescu: decimation: what
usg agency would perform this work domestically? asciilifeform:at&t. << top kek
decimation: wait, to be anti-leap second is to be pro-'
usg controls time'
decimation: and 'fucking with bitcoin' is probably pretty low on
usg's hitlist (not that it should be so low)
decimation: what
usg agency would perform this work domestically?
decimation: if
usg starts messing with gps it would be quickly noticed and shouted at
decimation: but that
usg clock is depended on by and awful lot of shit
decimation: most ntp nodes are tracable to some source (yes often
usg) to two layers
decimation: and
usg fucking with the way computers distribute time would ultimately be noticed by some innocent bystander
decimation:
usg didn't make this policy any more than england did
BingoBoingo: Leapweek would purely put
USG time in the realm of clearly fiat time
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... << i keep own time, and
usg introduces leap second. now what << How often? A minute over a century and ignoring should be fine
mircea_popescu: a matter of conventional agreementr, currently overseen by exactly
usg.
ascii_field: if
usg wants to spend its coin this way, it can
ascii_field: just as
usg turned their orbital nuke dropper into 'space shuttle'
ascii_field: well, afaik the 'precise' is not publicly known. but the ancient rumour that was taught to me was that it was a
usg military propaganda trick
decimation: if
usg can spam uv over a large area for hours, then you probably have bigger problems than money
decimation: in fact, someone who depises 'astronomical time' in favor of cesium time is also fully in favor of '
usg time'
mircea_popescu: you will notice it is not actually a
usg contractor. it's a sudanese contractor.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: no, it isn't 'greatest leak ever' - but certainly the most complete gutting of a
usg contractor in history
mircea_popescu: they are the exact equivalent of materiel. the humvees the
usg lost to isis work for isis just as well.
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 05:21:24; decimation: ionosphere will relay for free, cannot be pwned by
usg decimation: if 99% of miners use
usg time, what's the use of wot-time?
decimation: ionosphere will relay for free, cannot be pwned by
usg ☟︎ decimation: and yet, even
usg manages to keep orbital rb clocks ticking
decimation: about 80% of it: use ntp! no time itself is owned by
usg and so are all servers and isps!
decimation:
usg charges for their nautical almanacs
mircea_popescu: decimation what i said was that if you use
usg-supplied cutouts for that reduction, you're just doing a roundabout ntp call. might as well ask directly
ascii_field: ntp is low-enough traffic that most of the planet asks
usg more or less directly
