asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-10-2015#1293507 << BingoBoingo really must show up to next conf. because i picture him as a character straight from mark twain ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: I love how *everyone* either missed or ignored where ascii was taking the "cocaine sales practice as a measure of USG power, whatever its form" thread.
funkenstein_: BingoBoingo, well I'm not sure about that but "scholars argue that the goal was to destroy the hemp industry largely as an effort of Hearst, Andrew Mellon and the Du Pont family."
trinque: I know a few chicks that have the cocaine "addiction" and they just strike me as weak

funkenstein_: meanwhile other parties pursued a ban on colombian exports and secured the borders as well as supply lines
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as a start
funkenstein_: might be compared to the debeers empire as well
asciilifeform: thing is, dope in usg (and 'international treaties' as they presently exist are ~pure~ usgtronics) is not about dope, but about empire. if tomorrow no one wanted to snort coke, something else (can you say warez?) takes its place as excuse to feed standing army of stormtroopers

assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 01:38:05; mircea_popescu: and in general, two types of problems. 1. "build me a bridge" ; 2. "find me the leak". 1 is blocking, but 2 isn't - if a baby goat finds the leak the leak's just as found as if jesus had found it.
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> 2 years for 5 grams? RO is lenient as fuck. << Illinois would plea that out
thestringpuller: 2 years for 5 grams? RO is lenient as fuck. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: No longer Jeb and Rubio as co-favorites. Rubio is now clear nominee.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: You can program in TI-BASIC shit or ASM. Sure, you can compile ASM from C, but might as well derpot in basic then.

mircea_popescu: very little fucking and even less conceiving is done as a result.
mircea_popescu: yes, he's competent. there is however such a thing as competence choking.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in fact, i intend to have a td minigame added as an eulora activity eventually. << Before or after Lich's are implemented as a thing to become

pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mike_c the discrepancy is that of the +/- sign. Strangely, just since last night, the sign indicated in the 'direct' row changed from (-) to () (aka (+)), but the graph line is still red instead of green, as seen here : http://www.contravex.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/btcalpha-sign-silliness.png.

Austin III, the head of the United States Central Command, told a Senate panel that only a very small number of Syrian fighters trained by the United States remained in the fight—perhaps as few as five.

diana_coman: it's still kind of ok for specific stuff, more like bookmarking kind of thing - I know what I'm searching for and roughly where it is, I just need the quick path to it (as in search on dl.acm for articles of X on topic Y or in journal Z)

PeterL: What would a useful search engine entail, or do you see that as even possible?
mircea_popescu: in short, google may perhaps maintain the illusion of utility for as long as the needs are superficial and stay that way.but if you're mostly looking for specific stuff and tend to go beyond the surface of things, it doesn't actually do anything whatever.
