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
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 ?
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
decimation: of course the opm hack did about 1000x more damage to
usg decimation: yeah, but dpr has already shown how to annoy
usg decimation: which I think is now actually owned by
usg decimation:
usg 'collects' technology in exactly this way
decimation: trying to get
usg to care about your 'property rights'
decimation: ^ note that thier perception of what is 'weird' is purely what
usg smiles upon
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: 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"
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
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
USG is on that list plenty of times.
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.
decimation: but I would also note that 'come be an inside reformer' is also a
usg recruitment trick
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 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
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: 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.'

USG $200

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.

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

usgs last gasp effort to "socialism" the cabbuie business
