mod6: mircea_popescu: way to hurt some butts in the
USGavin trilema article. good read. :)
assbot:
USGavin, the lolcow pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: anyway, got a meeting. we can resume
usgavin and the five fail dwarves discussion later.
mircea_popescu: "Why are you lying ?" is a good start. "Why are you acting as if Bitcoin were a
USG project ? It's not, you are."
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves amusingly,
usgavin is pulling out the "your shit's not
usg certified" card.
mircea_popescu: no amount of thumbing nose and general pretense is going to help. mpxxx will drive
usgxxx anything out of the market. period and full stop.
mircea_popescu: here's the scoop : if the
usg does not standardize good crypto, mp WILL. and the result wil be that mp's standards will drive the nist out of the market.
assbot: Logged on 28-03-2014 16:21:08; asciilifeform: when the
usg banned the instant 'hiv' tester device, the argument, if i recall, was that people would kill themselves on learning the result, if no surrounded by government-approved shrinks
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: only because no one yet has the audacity to list
usg payola as 'profit' << ahaha this'll be fun
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: how are you to fight the
usg thusly? << clearly, one who "does not understand how the world works", the highest honor said
usg can bestow upon people.
decimation: 'lie detector' is still used for this purpose against
usg employees
decimation: bounce: the purpose of the security around the president is so the bureaucrats who really run
usg can demonstrate their enthusiasm for the current symbol-in-chief
decimation: asciilifeform: there's an even deeper truth there - the reality is that
usg doesn't have the 'People' needed to determine actual truth
decimation: I feel sorry for those whose god is
usg - he constantly stabs his followers in the back.
decimation: mircea_popescu: people like her run the 'ideas' side of
usg mircea_popescu: ;;google scientology infiltrated the
usg stole fbi irs and other secret paperwork
ben_vulpes: what's the background on "scientologists raped the
usg in the 70s" claim?
decimation: seems like a risky proposition if one lives within reach of
usg bounce: the
usg thing is a layer cake of fail. but yes, you'll end up with /some/ subsidizing in any such system. over the long run you'll have been young, subsidizing the old, and old, mooching off of the young both.
mircea_popescu: bounce last i heard, the
usg was throwing money into the street because "gotta spend"
mats_cd03: i am curious what percentage of eth is recycled
USG cents and duped chumps
Adlai:
usg: "respect my authoritah!"
mircea_popescu:
usg: "you have the right to blablabla" cartman: "fuck you, i do what i want"
pete_dushenski: the
usgcannon is regressing from a-bombs to slingshots, slowly but surely.
mircea_popescu: so no, the
usg didn't black nationality anything. it just put a bunch of thugs away, and much fewer than it either could or should have.
mircea_popescu: (and notice that the scientologists raped the fuck out of the
usg, in the 70s. back when it was still a thing)
mircea_popescu: there's two points here. the easy to dispatch one is the naive narcissism. i can see why you'd imagine the
usg is important or powerful. this is neither true or particularly likely, from a neutral pov. but moving on,
undata: one can look to black nationalism for an example of how the
usgov deals with an actual, organized opposition
decimation:
usg 'party planner' types studious grade each bureaucrat with the military equivalent, and then rank in parties appropriately
decimation: asciilifeform: re: your 'escape' plans << it's true that in the us your property isn't safe, least of all from
usg - but is there really a country that credibly offers a better deal
decimation: my point is merely that
usg has generally shown to be plain incompetent, not conspiratorially incompetent
decimation: I suspect that
usg is apple's bitch and not vice versa
bounce: oh, there it is. it's not teh jooz, nor the big bankers, it's the carnies that're secretly running the
usg!
jurov:
usg debt policy, too
mircea_popescu: yeah, "the one which was a
usg front openly and from day one, totally legit"
bounce: or used a computer network with connections to
usg at some point in their lives
kakobrekla: i can see how
usg will want at least
usg customers coins
kakobrekla: let them stupid videos of how
usg has no fucking clue be public and be broadcasted even live
mircea_popescu: to make it perfectly clear : no team that in any way includes any of the currently proscribed
usg agents (gavin, maxwell, hearn etc) can ever make a fork. never.
thickasthieves: mp, qntra being a news site, shouldnt you include some sources for your
USG accusations?
assbot: Title: After defeating it in the Bitcoin market, La Serenissima bleeds the
USG a - Pastebin.com
ben_vulpes: they do enjoy themselves, and the
USG keeps otherwise brilliant and hardworking people from being useful at large.
mircea_popescu: lol wait. he got owned by the usms while using
usg operated silk road ?!
BingoBoingo: Asks a lot of unanswerable questions about net worth. Derpy scammer is an angle
usg has prolly tried before in tax cases.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think anyone but you really sees the
usg case officer angle.
mircea_popescu: it's also a glimpse into bitcoin's future, if
usgavin and the power retard crowd have their way
decimation: one wonders if
usg didn't pressure corning as part of the 'war on useful objects' err 'war on drugs'
decimation: modern
usg officer is told to pacify locals without using any tools that would actually be effective
decimation:
usg tests its officers for intelligence
diametric: asciilifeform: i'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion based on a single nurse that didn't follow the rules getting ebola to the
usg has let it walk at leisure.
diametric: asciilifeform: it kind of surprises me. if anything, i feel as though the media, and in part the
usg, is making ebola sound way more serious in order to keep people in a state of panic. and you're falling right for it.
decimation: diametric: this is one of these 'tough calls' that the man-children who pretend to run the
usg need to actually make
decimation: "I'm an official friend of
usg, here's my pass from Stalin"
decimation: one wonders if
usg actually keeps anything secret or just fills out paperwork to that effect
mats_cd03: mircea_popescu: i haven't been using the west key system to search. instead, i've been filtering for proceedings involving
USG and then pruning for terms like wiretap, warrant, email, hard drive, paperwork, and suppression of evidence.
decimation: I post this because I think it serves as a warning to
usg bureaucrats - there may come a day when your 'successful career' might be seen in a very different light by your peasant neighbors.
decimation:
http://youtu.be/u88vMSbX_xA << lois lerner (the
usg bureaucrat who targeted mostly conservative groups for 'preferential' tax auditing - now retired and making $100k per year from
usg pension) was 'targeted' while walking her dogs in Bethesda. She tries to run into a neighbor's house to 'call the police' and 'hide' - the old man of the house shows up and instructs her to leave immediately
mircea_popescu: anyway, not that anything karpeles [ever] said can be taken at face value, but admire the difference between mtgox and bitbet when it comes to the position of the
usg. perfectly symmetrical, karpeles is "up to the
usg" ;
usg is up to bitbet.
gabriel_laddel: am I correct in assuming that documenting efforts in reverse engineering a particular xlinx model is illegal / will land one in trouble with
usg?
mircea_popescu: "To soften my comment, I would not want to replace Gavin with some loony that thinks the
USG is competent enough to undermine bitcoin in any organized way. All this talk about Mike and Gavin being stooges is absurd, and undermines my respect for much of the other (very insightful) stuff you guys write on the Internet. They can be wrong, without being corrupt."
mircea_popescu: thickasthieves:
usg is just alarmed hacker haz more dataz than them, so jelly <<< AAAANNDD they don't even quote trilema. not like it's been a secret over here, for the past half year or so.

usg is just alarmed hacker haz more dataz than them, so jelly
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, it's pretty hard not to see how making random
USG accusations isn't exactly the same as using a made-up hot-button "she used DMCA take-downs"?
ninjashogun: asciilifeform, yes in the sense that several people here have said things like "I read thorugh that twice and don't see where
USG comes in"
mircea_popescu: bitcoin created what, 50bn worth of value out of the ether. didja think it all went into the
usg budget or something ?
