asciilifeform: depending on how much self-restraint the idiots have, it may even turn out that all usg-sponsored miners will run (or claim to run) 0.10
assbot: Logged on 19-02-2015 20:48:27; ascii_field: great sim heist << transparent nsa smokescreen. gsm uses toy crypto since day one (usg mandate) and has always been breakable with minimal effort.
ascii_field: 'Apps like TextSecure and Silent Text are secure alternatives to SMS messages, while Signal, RedPhone and Silent Phone encrypt voice communications. ' << finally the mask falls off, and we know that a usg muppet wrote that article.
pete_dushenski: but i guess the usg is just a marketing machine at this point
ascii_field: to peddle the notion that the sim keys matter for any purpose whatsoever is either the act of a complete illiterate on the subject, or a usg stooge.
ascii_field: you'll see soon enough when gemalto (as if nothing happened, remains in business of course, like all usg pseudo-industrial ops)
ascii_field: precisely the usg message.

danielpbarron: no, it's a USG approach to a non-problem
decimation: 'no one' in the sense of anyone employed directly be usg
asciilifeform: quite a few usg-sponsored war projects are still -struggling to modernize to ada-
decimation: I guess the difference is the 'usg certificate'
asciilifeform: (one of the conditions for the ancient usg mandate establishing ada 'foundation' is that the product must be gpl'ed)
asciilifeform: can someone dredge up mircea_popescu's old article which mentioned the imperative to use nonstandard computing arrangements to frustrate 'one size fits all' usg idiocies ?
asciilifeform: ranging from mere omission of the fact, certain as daylight, of it being a usg production (with no attempt whatsoever inside to disguise their characteristic turdware tradecraft, note)
decimation: actually there's already a business where people 'resell' 'free' usg records - ancestry.com
asciilifeform: a usg 700k quote magicks into $0 for the right folks, yes.
decimation: usg has decided that it would be better to charge you $0.6 per page to copy
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: an fpga that isn't a usg-proprietary piece of shit would go a long way
asciilifeform: there is also a titanic pile of usg grantsmanship on the subject
asciilifeform: but because forced to on account of working for usg or having to use some likewise closed turdware (usually also because, ultimately, usg)
asciilifeform: (not news) usg really loves rc5 and rc6 as non-attributable stream ciphers
asciilifeform: if there exists, somewhere, a maker of drives which demand signatures - usg is the first to get a copy of the key, to no one's great surprise
Adlai: they can backdoor the drive without the ceo having to patch usg through to the cto
Adlai: improvement... because the ceo gets fewer phone calls from usg
hdbuck: so whatcha gonna do when coinbase/TBF/bitpay/bitfury/KNC/ and all the usg rapist unite to promote the fork?
Adlai: hdbuck: just don't pledge allegiance to "usg and FIAT" and you'll be fine
decimation: it's based on some ancient usg code
asciilifeform: fortunately we are not interested in usg certificates.
asciilifeform: an ancient usg
asciilifeform: or rather, the ada component of gcc is based on the ancient usg-commissioned thing
asciilifeform: decimation: usg, interestingly, did not entirely abandon. but under pressure from microshit (primarily) relaxed the ancient laws
decimation: asciilifeform: even usg has abandoned ada
asciilifeform: his gas bill will be complimentary of usg
asciilifeform: point being that millions of boxes are permanent thralls to usg until key gets out.
asciilifeform: wake me up when a serious usg key leaks.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, it goes to the thread a few weeks ago about why does usg even bother to tax at all
punkman: fluffypony: did the usg agent choose surface mail too?
asciilifeform: ^ 'does not know how world works.' everybody knows that 'shortage' in usg parlance means 'not readily available at the centrally planned price'
decimation: yeah as if people are going to pay usg to fly their 'aircraft' at 500 feet within sight of the operator
decimation: in case folks are unfamiliar, usg claims the air on 'your' land starting at 0 feet
decimation: lol usg http://www.wsj.com/articles/online-document-sheds-light-on-proposed-drone-rules-1423960620
asciilifeform: presumably the usg dept. of retardation or whatnot, which phunds the phoundation, cares.
asciilifeform: this does not automagically explain publicly creaming one's pants for usg
xanthyos: to all USG people reading this log i am not antistatist or anti FIAT and i will turn states evidence on danielpbarron
assbot: You rated user xanthyos on 08-Oct-2014, with a rating of -5, and supplied these additional notes: met in '04; he depends on government subsidies and will side with the USG in order to maintain his leech lifestyle..
asciilifeform: 'and the the word "implant" was almost never used in security circles' << usually called 'bug' (in the 'room is bugged' sense) outside of usg
asciilifeform: if there is evidence of usg crafting functioning but diddled parts for a mass-produced machine, slipping'em in, etc. prior to this cribbing, i for one do not know of it
asciilifeform: the typewriter case is interesting, from a history of usg point of view, because it appears to be the turning point for nsa
asciilifeform: that alone would not doom it - consider the world of usg - but the onesie-pcb-assembly business doesn't have the makings of a mass popu-chumpatron
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: our usg readers may have some trouble with arithmetic, let's help'em
decimation: mircea_popescu: perhaps usg is desperate for china to become big enough so that usg can surrender to it
decimation: asciilifeform: it kind of surprised me that usg allowed ibm to sell their fab actually
asciilifeform: decimation: there was a scandal that broke not long ago, where it came out that usg is single-handedly keeping a number of fabs (mostly rad-hard stuff) in business
decimation: asciilifeform: the only possibility is that usg is buying vanity products
thestringpuller: can't wait to read on qntra one day: "Gavin Admits to Being USG Agent, Leaves Bitcoin Forever"
asciilifeform: FCC Commissioner: Proposed Internet Regulation 'Mimics Obamacare' << astroturf and misdirection. regardless of which branch of usg is at the helm (fcc or verizon) - the train will still end up at the same stop: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=208
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: hmm, musta been diff boxer. << Twas Tyson, USG bankruptcy laws... pretty hard not to use them. It is what got Trump rich
asciilifeform: there's no usg wot tho << closest thing to a format usg wot may be the infamous 'plum book'
mircea_popescu: there's no usg wot tho, is the problem.
decimation: mircea_popescu: even judges want to feel like they are in the usg wot
mircea_popescu: "i bet you mp wouldn't say the USG gets to make classified filings"
asciilifeform: and as far as 'man on the street' in usa is concerned - the opposite of usg is 'mad max'.
asciilifeform: thing is, unlike soviet 'line', usg does not have a universally (or even widely) subscribed to opposite.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: lol @ USGavin pumping satoshi for his dox straight off the bat << funny how that works, in retrospect huh.
decimation: yeah, they are closest to the money that spews forth from usg
asciilifeform: the actual slurping black hole at the center of usgalaxy.
asciilifeform: -this- is where the usg budget actually goes.
decimation: someone has to 'provide' the muscle, buildings, etc in all those third world countries usg mucks with
decimation: lobbyists, lawyers, contractors who 'bill' usg for their services
decimation: asciilifeform: yes but most of those 'usg employees' are not actually on the official payroll
asciilifeform: at this point, virtually anyone living like 'upper middle class' and above in usa, is usg spending personified
asciilifeform: if you want to see usg spending, visit the 'potomac' quarter of d.c. area, for example
asciilifeform: but it would be grand to see old 'movers and shakers' of usg row until the end of their days.
decimation: actually the carriers and the entire dod welfare parade is only about 17% of the total usg spending
asciilifeform isn't usg vizier, isn't paid to plan
asciilifeform: usg - has plenty.
decimation: asciilifeform: what does usg have to compel a trade?
asciilifeform: so usg will move to straight command economy.
decimation: well, china is actually a fairly small owner of usg debt
decimation: now, the problem that usg has is that in 30 years, they might not be able to pay for missiles or soldiers
decimation: I don't think china has the balls to start a missile war with usg
decimation: hilariously, the actual hawaiian islands are 100% dependent on usg military, etc for income
cazalla: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?/topic/54-my-first-message-to-satoshi/ lol @ USGavin pumping satoshi for his dox straight off the bat
trinque: who the fuck is at the helm of the usgov
asciilifeform: for folks unfamiliar with esr, he has always been an unabashed barnacle who clung to whatever he saw as 'winning' at the moment. so usg did not have to break his kneecaps. he knew exactly when to bend over and lube up.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can only conclude that he is an apple/usg shill.
mircea_popescu: sort of bullshit. whenever you run into it you can be pretty sure you've run into an usg nest, it's like the fox scent and the fox.
asciilifeform: at any rate, usg is winning there - in its traditional objective of creating an open, gangrenous wound (rather than 'winning' in the usual sense of the word)
asciilifeform: per orlov's analysis, kiev is summoning draftees not to fight and win, but to 1) create 'humanitarian' wank in the hope of usg assistance (georgia gambit) 2) forcibly burn bridges for the conscripted men (the idea being, they've fired on the east and 'must' fight to the death)
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah he definitely exhibited that pattern. but my priors tend to 'random derp (maybe mr spam)' rather than 'usg agent'
decimation: asciilifeform: how do you distinguish between 'usg agent' and 'derp who reads your website'?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Perhaps, but it would be very un-USG of the era to not be running trials in parallel with minimal disclosure
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, much of the meth toxixity literature is from 1940's and 1950's when it was prefered USG go pill before being replaced by gentler amphetamines
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if lizardhitler picked the currently usg-'blessed' varieties of dope to zap folks prior to reproductive age, he needs to fire his chemist
asciilifeform: i.e. the 'before and after' faces found in various usg propaganda depict people who not only took $dopeoftheday but were perpetually pickled, smoked everything and anything that burns, contracted every known vd, etc.
mircea_popescu: well, so you can have them post-usg
asciilifeform: as an experiment, i spoke to dave schmidt (actual person, went to his house, bought an ancient machine.) pleasant old man. and asked re: buying docs. he claimed that he was not at liberty to sell, at any price, due to pacts with usg.
asciilifeform: i happen to know with fair degree of certainty that the number one buyer of 'ida' is usg.
asciilifeform: usg limbo
