mircea_popescu: i generally use for fidning trilema articles when too lazy to bring up mysql terminal.
asciilifeform: i strongly suspect that ddg is exactly 'hushmail'
mircea_popescu: well, i used to think that maybe ; but this level of utterly idiotic bs is convincing me otherwise.
asciilifeform: doomed, incidentally, approach -- they own (and undocumentedly) a good chunk of ipv4
phf: asciilifeform: i assume this is part of "block all google on ip level" program
asciilifeform: thing has slightly, barely measurably, less censored outputs, but that's pretty much it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ftr asciilifeform doesn't see ddg as somehow less unsavoury than google et al. if it were baked by honest folx it wouldn't https.
asciilifeform: btw lulzily, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=us! loaded via www browser -- redirects to https://userstyles.org/
asciilifeform: i think they use a balancer thing
asciilifeform: ( why curl refuses to put the url in the debug dump, is mystery to me )
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/0t1Fp/?raw=true << with that url.
mircea_popescu: ah, no that specifically.
asciilifeform: lol i only read as far as the cert
mircea_popescu: was this "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=us!" ?!
asciilifeform: loox to be largely same as mircea_popescu's
mircea_popescu: large part of why wget is a lulz to me, like water pistol.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861590 << what curl args to replicate this ? ☝︎
phf: i just noticed that the geek roots thing links to #!, quite idiotic
mircea_popescu: i'm not at all pleased with this convenience.
mircea_popescu: but why does it do it for q=us! ? shouldn't it be q=!us then ?
mircea_popescu: obscure spamdomain from liuke... the 2000s.
mircea_popescu: ie, it returns a redirect from the correct ip (at least i see duckduckgo.com. 403 IN A 23.21.193.169 here ?)
mircea_popescu: apparently the duckduckgo site itself is pwned ?
mircea_popescu: in other wtf : does https://duckduckgo.com/?q=us! redirect to some weird website for anyone ? because wtf is going on here, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=us works as expected.
trinque: I figure the sin's lazily evaluated; did you liberate some cash from usg and thus liberate your own arse, or not.
mircea_popescu: chick's 21, with a 3 yo and she thinks she's anything but barefoot and pregnant indian camp follower.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "i don't think you know what those words mean", "I’m a geek person and I’m kinda nerd as well. I’m studying in human sciences and I’m a dancer. Also, I'm a young mom of a sweet lil girl who is 2 years old! :3"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 00:15 asciilifeform: if anyffing, it's idjits like asciilifeform who are the worst , who buy for usg 2-3 'sidewinders' erry yr and don't know how to stop
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-13#1861550 << the confessional fervor of this fellow... ☝︎
asciilifeform: the dope people, by all indications, ~luvvv~ usd. and none of the 'remittance policing' exists at any level that'd bother'em.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 23:35 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-22#1816718 << hah, i originally watched it for the same reason, and the only thing i even remember is burroughs sitting in the chair, and spitting the "narcotics" prediction in his famous squeaky voice
asciilifeform: without usg's http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-22#1817099 thing, there's be as much 'dope cartel' as there is aspirin cartel. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-12 23:56 mircea_popescu: the drug trade should wake up to the idiocy, start a remittance business
asciilifeform: returning upstack to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-12#1861511 , the fact that they haven't, is imho serious support for asciilifeform's traditional hypothesis of the dope folx being ~symbionts~ of usg , rather than antagonists ☝︎
asciilifeform: i meant the rack as a whole
asciilifeform: so not much surprise that there aint a lively otc market.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 01:22 asciilifeform: https://archive.is/ltRHd << per same, of the 4 public noadez in BingoBoingostan, 3 are in pizarro
asciilifeform: fwiw it appears that BingoBoingo presently houses the ONLY actual btc noadz in BingoBoingostan... per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1859945 ☝︎
asciilifeform: naturally cattle cannot operate a btctron. they'd have to delegate it to an actual person. but even ~these~ , in orcistan, seem to prefer to stash up usd.
asciilifeform: if they started saving in btc instead, there'd be 'hawaladar' to fill their appetite on erry street corner, from sahara to patagonia
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an old piece where mentioned orcs all over saving in usd, hanging on to erry benjie like it were a shard of the trooo cross. ~that~ is 1 of the elephants on which usg stands.
asciilifeform: idjit orcs would rather die, apparently, than risk exch rate swing
asciilifeform: part of the puzzler i suspect lies in the continued operation of the waterfall
asciilifeform: all they gotta do is to follow the spampal usd etc
asciilifeform: and they're regularly gassed, wherever, thailand or pretty much any turd world shithole, usg dun even have to break a sweat
asciilifeform: the 'hallucinated choice'(tm)(r) thing
asciilifeform: upstack, i suspect mircea_popescu has the answ to the riddle of why bitcoin hasn't killed wu et al -- orcs still perceive having the option not to use btc
BingoBoingo: Kinda how I ended up in the Home Despot garden department before taking off to Uruguay.
asciilifeform: iirc mod6 , ben_vulpes , trinque , admitted to similar thought, in l0gz.
asciilifeform: kinda why i wanted to get the fuck out since long before tmsr. i'm buying hitler's lunch and it's stomach-turning.
asciilifeform: if anyffing, it's idjits like asciilifeform who are the worst , who buy for usg 2-3 'sidewinders' erry yr and don't know how to stop ☟︎
asciilifeform: nobody voted for dhs, dea, etc. yet there they are.
asciilifeform: sure, but it's a theatrical production, with roughly same physical impact as footballism
BingoBoingo: The dreamers fuel the their democracy fictional mandate
asciilifeform: they sum to ~0 as tax base, and do ~nuffin
asciilifeform: dunno, they could all die of pox tonight and i suspect the lizards would shrug, less overhead
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem is that not enough bitchslapping of stupid cunts who imagine "their oppinions on #ows" or w/e are sought or even possible as an abstract object. THAT is the true usg, the pile of moron dreamers.
asciilifeform: for all i know, still is, the gears grind slowly
asciilifeform: but to naked eye entirely inexplicable, qatar is possibly 1st or 2nd biggest sponsor of usg idjicy in the goatfuck deserts
mircea_popescu: possibly infantile temper tantrum by whatever nuland cunt they have now.
asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp the supposed usg feud with qatar -- iirc the latter sank couple $B into usg's 'moderate rebels' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: If USG had that kind of pull in Qatar why nuclear waste trenches at the border?
asciilifeform: doubtful. but wherever the reich tendrils reach.
asciilifeform: usg hunts hawaladars as if they were ebola sprayers . but they still live.
asciilifeform: rather than 'allcomer'
mircea_popescu: if it works it must work in the manner of things working.
asciilifeform: as i understand, it worx b/c tight wot
asciilifeform: i'll be at least slightly surprised if he manages to penetrate subj; but i like good surprises ☟︎
mircea_popescu: im curious what'll be the Mocky reports on that.
asciilifeform: the hilarity is that the 'terrorists' ( goat-flavoured orcs ) have 0 prob with the idjicy, they have their hawala
mircea_popescu: no such free lunch, let ustards and ustard-wannabes pay for gas for armorer car to go from embassy to wu and back. like teh arabs do it.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with "we'll permit cattle to have their usg.thing and we'll do the right thing" is that why exactly is usg getting the cheap and easy fruit ?
mircea_popescu: gotta start firebombing wu "offices" / shooting anyone trying to work there in the head to interdict their sapping of this market.
mircea_popescu: i expect bulk of the nonsense is still guy runs away to work, wants to send dough back to wife.
asciilifeform: anybody with pile of benjie could do it right nao, simply eat/shit btc on site. but for some reason these folx allergic to btc ? i haven't the faintest idea
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, if local morons still act as if they lived in usg zone, notwithstanding they make 5k a year or so...
mircea_popescu: make more than from coke in a few short years.
mircea_popescu: the drug trade should wake up to the idiocy, start a remittance business ☟︎
asciilifeform: the astonishing bit imho is that they carry this nonsense over to e.g. cr office.
asciilifeform: ( this is not seekrit, if you want actual phood in usa, you pay like on space station )
mircea_popescu: is eating still permitted in the usgulag, or also meanwhile verboten ?
mircea_popescu: im behind the times.
asciilifeform: it only started to work once i fed it a name, addr, and cc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but i mean isn't the point of this whole wu business that you just walk into an office and send someone a few benjies ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 15:57 mircea_popescu: pretty much all the empire shit works by this "only way to get an x is to link an x' to an y' to the x" device. by now it's actually usable as an empire-detecting heuristic.
mircea_popescu: i thought i was being funny with the paypal throwaway.
mircea_popescu: doesnt' this literally defeat the whole purpose of the whole thing ?
asciilifeform: oh i should note, had to get 'account' for it to work
asciilifeform: or to reboot ms excel. whoknows
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe they had to get the right agents at teh right office!
asciilifeform: i dunno what cockroaches are in the pertinent heads... 'terrorist will never try 2x' ? nfi
asciilifeform: i'm looking at my notes, and seems like erry wu i ever sent ( and i sent a good coupla dozen ) took 2 shots (per new addressee)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform relatively easier to get the few maidens nobody wants to fuck than to press into service the few maidens everyone wants to fuck.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 00:38 mod6: mircea_popescu does have a point re 'freedom of navigation' tho. but ya, if it doesn't matter to BingoBoingo, I'm game.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if found it's good to have from a purely http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846382 exercise ; but anyway, tis getting settled. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: about as doable as phones returning to 1950s state of the art. with maidens and spokes.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will explore those options. I suspect there might be something.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: either that or they'd have to return to 18th c. tax collection methods.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and by "good %" we mean all of it -- usg would end tomorrow if employers had to pay in cash.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: good % of classical usg totalitarian bullshit is enforced through 'employer pays into yer bank, which reports erry penny'
