fourhunderdtypes: i can gine -10 fucks on usg
decimation: vexual: why do you aussies always adopt the most fascist usg fantasies?
decimation: the number of "vale're whites" who work for usg far outweighs the number of joe stacks
decimation: my point being that 'services delivered' by usg are completely unrelated to the money spent
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: usganity
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: the whole 'chip business' is in many ways ~inherently usgizing~
asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if archaeologists ever turn up a 'greenarrays' in usg gear
decimation: usg 'collects' technology in exactly this way

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
shinohai: There is no such thing as an obsolete computer in my mind, unless it is hopelessly fragmented by usg
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.
assbot: Logged on 17-06-2015 21:15:16; mircea_popescu: ascii_field myeah, uber does seem like the usgs last gasp effort to "socialism" the cabbuie business
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-06-2015#1166824 << apparently dead instantly on account of losing favour with usg. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ascii_field myeah, uber does seem like the usgs last gasp effort to "socialism" the cabbuie business ☟︎
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 ☝︎
