decimation: re: it's more the principle of the matter. japan wants to assert that japan, and not
usg, make japan policy
decimation: when did the crazy fur nazis start making
usg border policy?
mircea_popescu: (the
usg will readily dispute this claiming they actually DO have title to bitcoin they confiscate, and then create chain of title from there. this argument is illogical).
decimation: outflanking
usg from the left is a common pattern worldwide
decimation: asciilifeform: I know that the german chemical industry was also generally transported to
usg pete_dushenski: hm well alexandria may have been replaceable/rediscoverable, but if nazi work goes down with
usg, how long do we wait ?
danielpbarron: or uh..
USG guy joins IRC and identifies himself as such
mircea_popescu: but this is exactly it,
usg trying to insert itself into the process by "blessing bitcoins"
mircea_popescu: generally, any friend of the
usg is an enemy of the world.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> idea is that they 'have the choice to surrender to
usg' and didn't make it << myeah. they gotta be supported.
mircea_popescu: and obviously, the
usg doesn't like it. how surprising.
decimation: yeah I guess that's the idea, but it seems dubious that
usg will tolerate such behavior
decimation: apparently tucows is on
usg's shitlist because it won't play ball
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i remember correctly,
usg is on record saying they lack the ability to input a printed gpg privkey.
mircea_popescu: cisco was caught working with
usg, lost 90% of sales in onequarter.
mircea_popescu: the plan is of course to use it extensively on anyone related to
usg, starting with the press, starting with idiot whores a la leah goodman and idiot venues a la newsweek
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 00:58:04; asciilifeform: possibly the most dangerous animal to be in the lands of
usg (and au, as i understand, is a kind of target practice range for
usg idiocies) is the fella with just enough to be worth skinning, but three or four zeroes short of mircea_popescu-esque atomic dirigible where he can hit back
ascii_field: chetty: there is a confounding factor: that much of su was bought up at fire-sale by
usg operatives
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the only reason we know about him is the gigantic crew of
usg photographers and a
usg planetary mediachumatron ready to endlessly reprint the photo
ascii_field: my model is more of a hypothesis re: what tools
usg will pick up when the usual ones (magick away the universe with idiot media tricks) begin to fail
ascii_field: used here as illustration that the imminent demise of
usg and the broader zombie civilization that created it, does not separate ulbricht's arse from anthill
mircea_popescu: people mostly don't believe the
usg statements in the case of ulbricht. what when they're actually made up ?
ascii_field: see, the rectoanalyzer will not be used by conventional 'daylight'
usg, no
mircea_popescu: every anything you propose costs the
usg way more than it costs you.
mircea_popescu: your ideas work in this situation where the
usg is "the universe" and the guy it torments just a guy.
mircea_popescu: ie, the same
usg that gets killed with the weapons it made and gave away.
ascii_field: same folks who make the rest of the
usg toybox
ascii_field: i won't pontificate on whether the past century of
usg work on tortures, dope, etc. came to anything, but this is more or less the kind of situation it was all ultimately waiting for, to try.
ben_vulpes: i'm kind of horrified at the notion that aws will outlive the
usg.
mircea_popescu: strange that anyone would even for a single second propose the
usg even exists as a going concern,
decimation:
usg is all about illusioning every problem away
BingoBoingo: decimation>
usg helps make roundup resistant cocaine << Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the cartels innovated that themselves
decimation:
usg helps make roundup resistant cocaine
mircea_popescu: nobody has so far taken a strong "fuck you, and red hat, and the
usg" stance. it is likely they never will,
ascii_field: one of the greatest films about essence of
usg ascii_field: but as i gather, the
usg-elite consciously walks this line - unlimited debauchery in private, idiot paper-pushing in public
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it is not a secret to anyone except the completely imbecile "experts" the
usg has historically and continues to "use" in it's quest to build itself as a bitcoin power independent from mpex.
mircea_popescu: exactly what it is. backed by nothing but the full faith and credit of the
usg, in the shape of little bits of paper issued by Department of Harvard, The Stanford Agency scl etc.
decimation: nasa et.al. spend money on
usg think tanks to try to come up with a protocol that will magically switch between store-and-forward and low-latency as the channel permits
decimation: qualcomm is also fairly famous for hustling
usg into favoring their CDMA chips over the european gsm alternative
mircea_popescu: while i expect your 90% figure of ee's working for govt is only met if you actually count every us public company as an agency of the
usg (a position not exactly undefensible, people still do the same to stuff like gazprom etc, notwithstanding the ru oligarchs actually have a lot more independence than the us "ceo"s of public corps),
decimation: but I was insinuating that these EE's work either has official
usg employees or sell products or labor directly to
usg funkenstein_: well if you got some usd in your pocket... i guess you could say you work for the
usg decimation: I would venture to guess that 90% of those remaining 271,000 work directly or indirectly for
usg mircea_popescu: but of intel for intel's own sake, as an independent thing. not of intel for
usg-intel, something intel itself could never, ever fix.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, i suppose the burning hatred of
usg and its many agencies (such as apple) that informs us is really a very novel thing.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda incredible to me that the entire intellectual production of the
usg crowd is limited to merely rehashing points debunked within a week or two of the "controversy".
decimation: noisy chump falls into the noisy
usg chumpatron, news at 11
mircea_popescu: basically the
usg is about 15 and has grown up on a gated community. in connecticut.
mircea_popescu: when
usg says something, it becomes allegedly, and until and unless it receives our imprimatur, it STAYS allegedly.
mircea_popescu: and this is why "apparently" is not more appropriate. the locus of power is b-a, not
usg. when we say something here, fact or no fact, it becomes "apparently", like it or not like it.
danielpbarron: (unless you balance it out with 9x non-promotional material) << there is a ratio specified in the rules?? reddit is like
USG training camp
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm rather surprised it took them so long to hook up the goldpricedumpatron to btc << You once said, "
USG is still trying to find way to put lead into bitcoin bars."
decimation: mircea_popescu: it's common in the us for a
usg employee to regard himself as 'apolitical' because he wasn't elected
decimation: yet he has given his life and his own son in service of
usg, and accomplished nothing
decimation: he is now on a krazy korner railing against
usg mircea_popescu: and you know exactly how it'll go : the
usg horde will derp their derpage, most idiots of the jwz ilk will "not want to pick the political bone" and so on and so forth.
ascii_field: when
usg officials start vanishing from the stage because no longer can pay bills, rather than folks like moiety disappearing from our ranks - then we know, yes, victory
ascii_field: 116mil 'mystery startup' << expect to see $maxint of this.
usg will build malicious 'wallets' and other mainstreamadoptatron crap for all-comers
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2015 00:25:57; asciilifeform: when has
usg legalized anything formerly forbidden ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. so teh
usg-vc-turdatron is "building prediction markets" and usgavin is "building consensus" among the "core developers" of a meanwhile obsoleted branch of bitcoin core.
mircea_popescu: "i'm going to pretend like if i find five people that can be bribed, scared or fooled then that's all that was needed to begin with. just, the
usg is so ridiculous, toothless and impotent I CANT EVEN SAY WHO THE FUCK THE FIVE WILL BE. hopefully we even find five idiots, or else... whatever, three's enough. one's me, one's me dressed as satoshi, one's me in my wife's panties. win!"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Of course, but maybe it might make sense
USG-ified on a boat
