usg makes a habit to overpromise and underdeliver.

usg sovereignty

usg fiat or another, mostly from fdr days
decimation: note that
usg accomplishes bifurcating the internet without actually writing down any law
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
usg still working on hardforking the internet, huh ?
mircea_popescu: the
usg is not going to like people fucking up its shit. that's not changing. google isn't going to start acting like anything but a
usg agent. that's also not changing. what are teh staffers in question expect will happen, or expected will have happened ?
mats: replaced? schmidt has been a
USG cocksucker since day 1
mircea_popescu: "us company subsisting out of us fed subsidies fails to implement
usg policy. is replaced with different one, nobody notices the difference."
mircea_popescu: <decimation> because
usg is too stupid to move to somewhere cheaper <>< nah, not how it works. wherever it moves, the bedbugs move there too. it won't stay cheaper.
decimation: because
usg is too stupid to move to somewhere cheaper
mats: mircea_popescu: but there are 11 judges with 0 cases and 12 with just 1. i'm now going through and reading every case involving
USG, i've cleared ten judges this way, but the number of cases i've been able to find have been fairly low in number
decimation: time is a concern for bitcoin, and I suspect that 99% of your 'ntp' servers trace back to
usg BingoBoingo: mats: Anyways since you declared allegiance to New Reno
USG I have to assume polio
USG is spending more then $100k per year chasing less than a prius in Buttstamp valued BTC.

usgavin room to pretend for ?" and next line in log, sure enough...
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i was telling a friend the other night that the CIA/FBI acts as the
USG mafia, but won't admit to being the mafia. Whereas KGB/Soviets said, "Yea we're the mob, watcha gonna do about it?"
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> any reason to doubt that the
usg exchanges and other scum are 'on board' (for what that's worth) ? << it is going to be *fascinating* to see how coinbase et. al are going to handle this

USG-inspired? what do they have to gain from it?
mircea_popescu: it's so far 100% of the bitcoin "told the
usg to get fucked" party. once you digest that you might be in a better position to evaluate who matters and who doesn't,

usg matters.
thestringpuller:
USGavin is trustworthy and honest, and the hero bitcoin deserves and needs!!!!!111

usg agents
decimation: in theory,
usg has no legal immunity (from criminal courts), but in practice it clearly does

mircea_popescu: decimation: there's a deep hypocrisy here somewhere. apparently the
usg entities who are involved with foreign surveillance couldn't possibly do their jobs if they were subject to 'regulation', but of course regular people trying to say, transact bitcoin, have no such reprieve << well,
usg entities that deal in bitcoin do have such reprieve currently ?
decimation: well, there's an issue of policy here, which is "is a us person allowed to communicate in a manner outside the possibility of

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: there are plenty of people who are so focused on "mass adoption" as a priority that they will compromise any and all aspects of bitcoin to further that goal; what would get more mass adoption than endorsement from

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: I do not see how anyone will contribute to
usgavincoin when Buterin's waterfall explodes right after inception.
thestringpuller: ofc, but
USG coin that is used to also do what? annoy us out of our money like some comcast nonsenese?
mircea_popescu: i know for a fact the
usg did not know what was in the leaks until their press agents told em
mircea_popescu: not like you're going to do anything whatsoever BECAUSE of the
usg.
decimation: of course, esteemed professors in
USG law explain how this is good: Ms. Lobel said. “But it’s a good result in that there has been much media attention to the illegality of such retention practices, real monetary consequences and promises to cease all such practices in the future.”"
