ben_vulpes: lookie,
usg agents teaching the world that depositing into their banks is a fucking terrible deal
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
usg criminal gang aka "law enforcement" just killed its 999th victim this year, nov 2nd. 71 yo jerry roach.
mircea_popescu: i am offering the (sadly unverifiable) proposition here that it is more likely to have your door broken into and your pet shot because "they thought tuttle lived there" a la brasil ; than because you were running a clinton-porn-pirate-radiostation and someone in
usg noticed.
mircea_popescu: people get shot while the
usg brown shirts are breaking in all the time ; they had no transmitters. adding one that had to this list does not raise above the statistical noise floor.
mircea_popescu: you've seen the whole "blockchain interpretation & crystal ball" "expert services"
usg spawned to date neh ?
mircea_popescu: "cyber forensic lab" aka the
usg owned-and-operator "truefax" producer for
usg court system.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 17:11 mircea_popescu: anyway, there's still an open thread god damned it. so re "in the hope they'll achieve
usg agency status" above : the final socialism,
usg's "ourdemocracy" came up with a gamified nationalization process : they naturally confiscate the domain leaders in all domains, under the guise of you know, "pension fund investments" and "consumer protection law enforcement". ie, there's a faux money and a faux legal prong which make sure
mircea_popescu: this is more like "
usg pr experts reusing superficial arrangements of ro folklore"
mircea_popescu: the entirely of the
usg-i-cant-believe-its-not-bitcoin is the orc colonized lands. there, they actually believe the shit they read in bad localized versions of the ny times.
mircea_popescu: in other "closer ties",
usg managed to get samsung's boss convicted for "corruption".
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731544 << everyone is, as a result of
usg militant tardation. i can just drive into brazil. you -- can not. they "banned" turkish visitors, as if anyone from turkey could be arsed to go to the us ; turkey reciprocated, meaning about 70% of classical antiquity is now off limits to what in english passes for "the civilised world".

usg lulz
http://archive.is/7UnjC >> label 'no backdoors' == 'extremist crypto' nao )
mircea_popescu: most
usg-once-removed corps are trying hard to advertise bucharest.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ur- was coopted in artspeech to denote a typical or originating example, like trilema is the ur-blog and rome the ur-
usg.
diana_coman: if you start a business there -does it also get
usg-taxed?
mircea_popescu: in other great
usg victories against isis & co, "there was another team in the same area as the platoon ambushed in niger".
mircea_popescu: possibly the most annoying version in the
usg lands is the bus-doctor. he'll tell you what to pay and he klnows what to do. and he's never heard the salutary "bitch, say what ?" in his lyf.
mircea_popescu: the only problem is that they kick out the threats to
usg.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
usg took opposite tack : instead of allying with underworld elite to keep underworld wanna-bes harmelss, it allied with underworld wannabes to "remove corruption" bla bla. as a result they got the orc cycle, as well explained by lafond and many others.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the situation is not stable, in the sense
usg can't administer all this immense government with huge industrial interests in everything. which is why even china is giving it a run for its money.
mircea_popescu: but in any case, the process is wildly successful -- the whole "oh noes, corporate responsibility, banks stole our money" went exactly nowhere FOR THE EXACT REASON the
usg "banks" play the role of the soviet planning committee. such can do no ill, by definition of state in socialism, and so... they WILL be rescued, with "money" freshly printed.
mircea_popescu: that if your google is successful, your google belongs to
usg. which it was, and does.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's still an open thread god damned it. so re "in the hope they'll achieve
usg agency status" above : the final socialism,
usg's "ourdemocracy" came up with a gamified nationalization process : they naturally confiscate the domain leaders in all domains, under the guise of you know, "pension fund investments" and "consumer protection law enforcement". ie, there's a faux money and a faux legal prong which make sure
☟︎ mircea_popescu: t space", in the hope they'll achieve
usg agency status. which went nowhere, but then again there's no such thing as a buried corpse in socialism. it's not just craig wright that's still perambulating ; the original founder of webvan is still about. his business idea ? WEB POWERED DELIVERY OF GROCERIES! yes, 20 years later. no such thing as a burian in socialism.
mircea_popescu: all
usg colonies are ~same in this respect. if you're going to stay within the empire, live in rome.
mircea_popescu: hopefully he has younger brothers, i can't imagine what possible use he can still be the
usg turkfucker department.
mircea_popescu: whole of
usg has like a developer and a half to carry the whole load of endless "agencies", mastercard sees five minutes of developer every full moon.
mircea_popescu: but the curse of stupid is amply distributed and heavy indeed. consider : for the past THREE YEARS i have been giving ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD hundreds of dollars. this is more than ANY "organization" ever did for the women in this world, be it something from
usg.alphabet, or
usg.un bureaucracy or anyone else.
mircea_popescu: , notwithstanding he had proofs (but did he have proof those proofs were proofing ?!?!). in the end, after a lot of back and forth between various government agencies, they paid him 300k, "acquired" it (legally, of course, what
usg steals is legally acquired, what slovak antique dealer owns is "mafia involvement") and then proceeded to sell it at auction. for ... 15.3mn.
mircea_popescu: hey, the euros are retarded. they end up footing the bill for
usg red pseudomilitary adventures in the middle east via hosting refugees (hey, when's the last time anyone sent 10 mn syrians to live in new fucking york, instead of germany, france etc ?) and for
usg blue pseudodiplomatic misadventure in the shape of paying more for gas, selling less machinery and total real estate collapse because no more russki suckers to buy u

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-19#1726675 << 'filter out the strange' is the naive
usg av 'industry' nonsense. a half decent diddletron neither produces nor consumes any 'strange', and 'magic packet' will consist of , e.g., lubyization of 10,000 ordinary packets' timing
mircea_popescu: you know some switch you can rely on to filter out magic
usg packets ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand though, they're ~already doing it~.
usg SIGNALS can't hire outside of a pool of snowdens, mannings and reality winners
mircea_popescu: if blue
usg can't pantsuit the conversation anymore, if the plebs won't sit put and eat their seoexpert/nfl combo, what could happen ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point here is that having lost any capacity to control the actual reality, the
usg took the next possible defensive line, which is to say trying to control the conversation.
mircea_popescu: ie, you ~have alternative~ : join this
usg corporation, wash toilets for a while, climb the ladder.
mircea_popescu: it's more to it than just that. up to say about the dotcom bubble, the Official Example of the
USG Official Rooseveltian Doctrine of Social Mobility was...
mircea_popescu: this all ended in 2011, when a crack team of damien trevatt + gf (one jasmin choudhury ; split cca 2016 to whore out for deloitte uk) took over and pushed it in a "new direction", which consists of trying to make friends with the tedx zone of the blue
usg. dood runs some minor conference organizer
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-11#1723924 item on the side.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: it was very much what you'd expect (somewhat anachronistically) of a "silk road 2.0" these days ; replete with moderators scamming users, various independent activities (what the
usg calls illegal) and so forth.
mircea_popescu: funny shit, the ultra-pantsuit actually agree with the republic,
usg worst thing to come out of fuhrerbunker.
mircea_popescu: (as per customary and recently discussed with keccak, the actual item and the item submitted to the
usg braindamage competition differ)
mircea_popescu: (oh and since we're on
usg tools : nominum, nsa's shell company used in the "community consensus" building of the reformed dns system etc, ended up parked in akamai's basement for "an undisclosed amount" earlier this year. which is how these work and why they exist in the first place.)
mircea_popescu: i think the evolution of the
usg reclaimation of their own buterin waterfals is well documented by now, it's always the same thing.
mircea_popescu: hey, they waited, we let them. takes two legs for
usg to walk on.
mircea_popescu: but back to the practical point : "retired" ben lawsky could not find a job with
usg.comcast. leaving aside that argentine ben lawsky would not be retired by mp, because likely protected by complex orc tribal structure -- he WOULD very much end up at telco ag.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-16 16:39 mircea_popescu: they creted their very own
usg ; it works EXACTLY the same way as the larger one, except it's made by even dumber people / inbred islander idiots, and it shows.
mircea_popescu: but anyone who is either french or lived in france any length of time knows that france is in fact just a dumber, shittier
usg. though built way earlier, by FEWER locals.
mircea_popescu: this wasn't a copy job. this was "average human" reaching deep down and reconstructing
usg.
mircea_popescu: i am satisfied they had NO FUCKING IDEA what the
usg was.
mircea_popescu: they creted their very own
usg ; it works EXACTLY the same way as the larger one, except it's made by even dumber people / inbred islander idiots, and it shows.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: fuck the tards. there is 0 reason to work with the
usg tendrils in any field and in any capacity.
mircea_popescu: but at least the
usg is spending today and has spent for the past half century whatever fraction of a trillion each year in order to maintain the "public perception" that nukes actually do something. this way third worlders have something to elongate domain names with, and thereby IT HAS ALL BEEN WORTH IT.
mircea_popescu: hey
USG - take your useless sheep and drown them all for what anyone cares. seriously now.
mircea_popescu: basically the excel-powered secret agent strategy has become "try to disrupt bitcoin by creating fud on social media". which works to... disrupt usage by the
usg's own muppets, the redditards, wikitards and assoerted other dust mongers ? which is somehow bad for bitcoin, or even noticeable or something ?
mircea_popescu: aha. so : there's a bit of mismatch here, whereby the republic is powerful and rich, whereas the perception in
usg owned peon farms is disjunct.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform obviously, you didn'[t expect the actual
USG has any resources ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i dun think customs monkeys get terminals << Menial
USG employment implies terminal for fucking off
mircea_popescu: or maybe he just cashed in whatever was left and paid
usg for a new mortgage, or maybe was actually shot and left to bleed somewhere, or or or.
