seems that members of a criminal organization in germany asked an adviser of a rivaling us-based criminal organization on advice concerning what his bosses would think if they talked to someone who had ratted on the us gang
<whitequark>
sounds about right

<ysionneau>
means a german diplomat could get emprisonned if he visits USA after talking with Snowden?
<larsc>
anybody who talks to snowden can get prosecuted by the us government
<larsc>
legally
<nicksydney>
kyak: should post the picture to rollingstone :)
<larsc>
it's their lame excuse for not wanting to talk to him
<larsc>
ysionneau: there is the posibillity that the NSA and their contractors may have broken German law. Snowden may have evidence for this, but they don't want to have him testify as a witness because they fear there will be repercussions from the US
<larsc>
it's a bit like with the mafia
<larsc>
if you investigate the mafia your children will get abducted
<ysionneau>
that's scary
<ysionneau>
09:00 < larsc> ysionneau: there is the posibillity that the NSA and their contractors may have broken German law. < well, I guess it has already been proven, no?
<ysionneau>
didn't they listen to Merkel communications ?

ysionneau: well if there is no investigation, there is no crime

I love silent links with a hash in the url
<viric>
someone should introduce hashes in the hostname part
<viric>
(well, that's what shorteners end up doing)

I couldn't resist following the link, don't worry
<viric>
nice series? :)
<larsc>
I don't know
<wpwrak>
(youtube links) indeed, especially if someone just posts a link without any hint why the poster thinks one would want to watch it
<viric>
wpwrak: because the poster may know enough about the human kind
<wpwrak>
that seems awfully vague :)
<larsc>
wpwrak: well obviously you should click the link because of that feeling that you might be missing out on something if you do not
<viric>
right
<viric>
you are given a passage to knowledge. You take it or leave it

wpwrak: if you look at this http://postimg.org/image/j0qm9lc2f/ can you tell me whether I place the diode component the correct way ? ... the diode datasheet http://postimg.org/image/eg4funsd3/ says that the 'stripe' on the diode is Cathode Band...not sure if this is correct ?

wpwrak: thanks...was not sure as this is my first time doing this..so before soldering thought of placing the component and see the + and - to avoid smoke :)
<nicksydney>
i haven't got the inductor...but does inductor have + and - too ?
<wpwrak>
no, i couldn't think of anything you'd call an inductor that would be polarized or in any other way asymmetric (except maybe for weird packaging)
<wpwrak>
btw, does anyone know if there's a way to avoid modulo bias in a random draw _without_ having to need more than one random number ?
<wpwrak>
except, of course, by making sure that max dom RNG = 0 (mod N)
<wpwrak>
i would say that it's impossible. but i'd really like to be proven wrong on that ;-)
