ascii_field: mircea_popescu: usg-themed spam is sop for years now
asciilifeform: incidentally, i assume everyone remembers the usg-sponsored outfit publicly parading their net of sybils (based on 'pseudonode' or something entirely like it. student can write equivalent in an evening)
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 12:59:40; mircea_popescu: amusing how transparent the usg efforts of turning bitcoin into gold are, by the way. "oh, we don't want to kill bitcoin, honest, we just want to make it so we're the only ones that can safely hold it. you know... like gold..."
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 03:49:45; decimation: the massive antibody response from usg against these escaped prisoners is amusing
asciilifeform: interesting mainly on account of 'usg gets to slip code blobs into consumer appliances' thing
asciilifeform: nubbins`: does yours have the evil usg yellow dots ?
mircea_popescu: i will also observe that s.mg launches much awaited bitcoin's mmorpg, usg.agitprop is silent ; "blockstream" launches "much awaited" (by whom ?) nothing at all, the wsj seems compelled to write it up within the hour. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157660 << fnargl problem. the soviet politbureau was secure. the usg "feminists" are not. ☝︎

decimation: the massive antibody response from usg against these escaped prisoners is amusing ☟︎
decimation: asciilifeform: actually what's amusing is that usg has many similar competing departments
decimation: usg dept. of chips
assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 19:04:36; *: asciilifeform admits that he suspects bip64 of being a plot to create usg-like bonds in btc. folks will be asked to trace X proper btc for X+epsilon 'locked' ones that are to land back in their pocket 'in the future', should they live long enough, but are actually recovable 'because this is how the world works'
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: short version - mr m is a usg shill
pete_dushenski: "the TIC and NETWORZ consolidation initiative is behind schedule and unlikely to achieve its goal of delivering less than 100 connections either in short- or mid-term timeframes." << not saying this is an easy task, but holy shit does the manhattan project *feel* like it was 3 generations ago. what goals can usg hope to accomplish these days, other than writing more pieces of paper and making more pp slides ?
asciilifeform: http://cryptome.org/2015/06/cyber-spy-nyt-15-0604.pdf << latest usg mega-l0l. massive and very tedious slide deck of pseudolegalisms
mircea_popescu: funny how the buterin waterfal works. there's allegedly all these usg "companies" with "millions" in their coffers that have "investors" and whanot. meanwhile nobody can be arsed to buy any amount of their stock at a 50% to 90% discount. for like...a year now.
punkman: assbot: #Justicefordillon Officer Involved - YouTube ... << why are usg cops so afraid of hands in pockets
decimation: asciilifeform: yes indeed, nobody in the us is more than two or three degrees from usg
asciilifeform: because, as described very clearly by tlp (that piece cached on mircea_popescu's www) - they either carry out work directly for usg organs (official or otherwise, e.g., microshit) or perform services for the former
asciilifeform: meant, that it'll be flushed by usg
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah that's surely the majority of usg
decimation: maybe usg employees think that if the just stick around one more year they can 'change the system' liked they fantasized about when they signed up
decimation: usg has promised all of them a comforatable retirement if they play ball
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: there is a long list of idiocies not yet surfaced. for instance, a usg stooge will eventually propose 'wallets' keyed to passport chips or the like
assbot: Logged on 05-06-2015 03:06:48; asciilifeform: williamdunne: the usg connection of karpeles is as clear as daylight, considering how he is investigationally untouchable (both in the sr trials and in the greatest btc-related monetary black hole known to date)
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, usg can still claim usd tax
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-06-2015#1154566 << no. fbi agents should help us prevent usg above all else. ☝︎
asciilifeform: decimation: the likely next step for usg is probably 'naggum-style' taxation on 'what you probably earned and hid'
decimation: everything usg does is partially mixed with its 'civil relgion'
asciilifeform: phun phakt for non-u.s. folks: usg contractors who are registered as 'woman-owned' get preferential contract status. the practical consequence of this is that a great many operators of such firms have them registered in wife's name
decimation: ^ how usg employment works
decimation: asciilifeform: but there's an interesting parallel to usg: they 'won' the cold war, yet failed to unemploy the 'national security' complex
asciilifeform: the notion that this would be permitted were he not a usg asset, or that his little shop of horrors could afford the fee, is sheer lunacy
decimation: I suspect there are people in usg who hold his views exactly
asciilifeform: williamdunne: the usg connection of karpeles is as clear as daylight, considering how he is investigationally untouchable (both in the sr trials and in the greatest btc-related monetary black hole known to date) ☟︎
pete_dushenski: is ver 'usg' or just a fucking retard ? doesn't really matter, does it.
pete_dushenski: 1. it might not be readily apparent what is and is not 'usg' from your vantage point.
pete_dushenski: ok then. so... be mindful of who you're associating yourself with, is all. and what you're the face of, regardless of its apparent usg-icity to you.
williamdunne: One of the main things I've been focusing on is getting as many degrees of separation as reasonably possible from USG
williamdunne: pete_dushenski: Not yet convinced, while he is responsible I do think there must have been a malicious third party involved which I suspect to be the USG
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-06-2015#1154505 << trivial. same reason usg isn't burying any of us alive in freshly-printed benjies ☝︎
assbot: 5 simple rules for blogging, linking to sources, commenting, and generally making sense on the Internet. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1AQUsgK )
mircea_popescu: just... fucking usg numbers. they make as much sense as a pancake rabbit with a peanut on its head
decimation: he is facing the court because... he didn't tell usg what he was spending his money on
ascii_field: for overseas folks: cato et al play the same role in usg as zhirinovsky played in ru in '90s
ascii_field: gotta love the usg shill 'independent think tank' academitards
decimation: usg setup an 'exception' and now the mob sits upon it
assbot: Logged on 02-06-2015 21:47:50; ascii_field: punkman: for reasons i cannot fathom, usg does not even exempt its own snoops from this.

mircea_popescu: ascii_field baking the thing into the hardware is exactly equal to import usg.h
mircea_popescu: very usglike.
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 15:04:47; ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-06-2015#1152859 << wait till they offer hardware accelerators (sold to usg catamites only, naturally)
ascii_field: liquidassets: traditional usg entrapment op

BingoBoingo: Meanwhile Los Zetas and the other non-USG cartel have their Eric Holder weapons somewhere...
BingoBoingo: From what I've read Sinaloa's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse since their USG connections at the top were revealed
assbot: Logged on 03-06-2015 05:10:49; Landgull: Plus, as I said, the USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything.
Landgull: Sure, if the Ukrainians had anything to steal, the government would rapidly begin to steal it. But right now it's more profitable for them to steal from the USG.
mircea_popescu: Landgull the 20mb block is a transparent attempt by the usg to take control back.
Landgull: Ascii: I won't disagree with you (decimation, you're wrong.) that most of the world is currently under the USgov thumb, to some degree. But you are still better off in an outlying part of it, where the control is less potent, and has much less influence on your daily life (like, in terms of being able to buy food that doesn't make you sick, and being able to date girls who aren't insane) than you are sitting in their back yard
asciilifeform: decimation: notice how usg is in kandahar but not in moscow
asciilifeform: decimation: i will add that usg works tirelessly to help -them- as well 'wake up' to their 'ancient and proud cultural identity and thirst for independence'
Landgull: Unlike the USgov with a nebulous idea of "we want to spread democracy guyz" they actually know what they're fighting for.
BingoBoingo: <Landgull> Plus, as I said, the USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything. << Kinda why Phillipines is on my exit candidate list. Massively orchish and USG proving proving ground for cultural failures.
decimation: no other parts of usg to fiddle
Landgull: Plus, as I said, the USgov owns the UAgov, but unlike the US where the government really effects your life, the government here is a mass of incompetent bureaucracy without any serious ability to organize anything. ☟︎
Landgull: If you're going to declare yourself an enemy of the USgov and be a real threat to them, they'll find you, sure.
Landgull: If bitcoin starts replacing fiat, the USgov isn't going to have the resources to come after you.
decimation: Landgull: the thing is, if you make trouble and usg wants you, the derpy local government will please their masters
Landgull: But seriously, it takes 10 minutes of talking to actual Ukrainians walking around here to see that they haven't bought USgov propaganda properly. As much as the information net wants you to believe it's the same everywhere, it isn't.
decimation: lol ukrainians have done was usg wills
mircea_popescu: since "open source"-usg is doing so well at it.
decimation: outragous usg law > http://www.papersplease.org/wp/2014/09/25/11th-circuit-court-of-appeals-panel-kowtows-to-tsa/

assbot: Logged on 02-06-2015 19:14:23; mircea_popescu: myeah. a b-a os, in the shape of an usable open source something without idiocy/usgity baked in and with decent defaults so that people can install it without dedicating their life to it is ever more required.

mircea_popescu: you will note that contrary to deceitful reporting to the contrary, by both the sec itself and the usg prop machine,
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Exactly, only the USG seems to care
williamdunne: chetty: Seems like the USG is the only one who would prosecute someone for offering CFDs built on smart-contracts
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> like the TRILLIONS of dollars a derpy website "on the deep web o.O" that couldn't sell a kilo of coke is nevertheless associated with in usg paperwork. <<< wasn't supposed to sell kilos of coke 8)
williamdunne: TBH every time more details come out about the whole MtGox shit-heap, it sounds more and more like there was a significant USG element to the almighty fuck up
mircea_popescu: like the TRILLIONS of dollars a derpy website "on the deep web o.O" that couldn't sell a kilo of coke is nevertheless associated with in usg paperwork.
decimation: trinque: they are fleeing the reconquistada as well as usg 'sitting' upon silicon valley
decimation: usg actually should subsidize rather than punish hackers. Like terrorists, they provide the perfect excuse to expand state power with little opposition
williamdunne: USG already pays good money to dell and the likes for information on who buys what from them, and what bitcoin addresses are involved in the transaction
ascii_field: usg reserves some of its fastest and least-bureaucratized immune reactions for mutinies which might attract u.s. 'men of action'
mats: USG discovers american citizens involved in foreign, would-be coup, decides to sell them out to local security rather than dealing with it themselves
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it's a mandatory usg rapehole; the remote admin thing is just a way to squeeze a bit of marketing juice out of it, since it is already there
decimation: the wright brothers almost immediately began selling to usg
asciilifeform: onetimepad with goose quill pens and dice is still more credible alternative than anything out of usg & co.
decimation: asciilifeform: note that usg doesn't really need to be 'good', it's just that there's no credible alternative
asciilifeform: http://opensource.com/government/15/2/us-government-retires-clipper-chip << not formally retracted as usg proclamation until 2015 !
asciilifeform: for young people >> https://epic.org/crypto/clipper << the original usg cardano.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: yea pretty much usg cardano, just didn't know if it had been discussed. now it has.
asciilifeform: can't wait for the usg cardano.
asciilifeform: (buncha derps get fed by usg for pretending to operate in bitcoin; very different affair)
asciilifeform: for the usg market
asciilifeform: imho the preoccupation with man-sized faraday cages is a classic usg idiocy
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Its not like that is the USGs responsibility </sarc>
