"On a point of law, the Swedish Supreme Court has decided Ny can continue to obstruct on the vital issue of the SMS messages. This will now go to the European Court of Human Rights. What Ny fears is that the SMS messages will destroy her case against Assange. One of the messages makes clear that one of the women did not want any charges brought against Assange, "but the police were keen on getting a hold on him". She was "shocked" when they arrested him because she only "wanted him to take [an HIV] test". She "did not want to accuse JA of anything" and "it was the police who made up the charges". (In a witness statement, she is quoted as saying that she had been "railroaded by police and others around her".)

Neither woman claimed she had been raped. Indeed, both have denied they were raped and one of them has since tweeted, "I have not been raped."

You need to know more about an investor's view of the world to figure out whether an investor thinks this is good or bad. Given the capital-intensive nature of the business, I think many investors would be expecting TSLA to spend at least some of its lifetime running negative cash-flow (as indeed it as for the last three quarters). Depending on how much investment you see as being required in the future, you may or may not have predicted that they would need additional financing in the future (ie, after your investment). If you did not predict the need for additional financing, this is probably bad news for you. If you did predict it, than what matters most is how the terms of this financing compare to the terms you were expecting. If you think the stock is worth $1000/share, and expected them to do a secondary at some point, you're probably happy they're doing it now as opposed to later, when you suspect the price will be converging to your value. If you thought they would be able to raise all needed capital with 30 year bonds paying 2% interest, you're probably not happy about this.
on another note, would you want police to not implement tools that improve the success rate of finding those with outstanding warrants?
Hey, it committed to a specific century. Given how long it took the UK to decimalize and, therefore, decimalise the pound, that's pretty ambitious.

Shares are valued by people based on three things. Future direct cash you receive from the company based on the shares you hold (e.g. dividends/distributions and share buybacks). Voting power (i.e. control) in the company based on the shares you hold. And finally the ability to sell the shares you hold on the open market in the future (i.e. price speculation). Issuing more shares (usually) directly affects (i.e. dilutes) #1 and #2. But #3 is not directly affected in any way.
It depends on your usecase, I guess. Of course it won’t work for an entire operating system, but it doesn’t have to work for an entire operating system: It’s enough if it works for your current coding project, your directory of private documents or even dotfiles in your home directory.

Google has a lot of services and products that don't earn them money directly (Chrome is probably the biggest one, Android another), but which do provide Google indirectly - Chrome's initial focus on speed meant lots more page views which caused lots more ad impressions which caused more income.

This is apples and oranges.

With MPT, you're not necessarily running a business, you're holding securities/assets that cannot have a negative value. (i.e. they can't become liabilities, you can't have a stock or bond that you owe money on)

With a business, the net value can become negative and in some cases when it does, you declare bankruptcy. This is why you'd want to ring-fence/separate out the more risky ventures from your main business, so that it's a separate entity that can rise/fall on its own.

Really? You have React, Angular and Ember. Three libraries or frameworks for building web applications. If you aren't building a web application you might not need any of them.

Just use React as the other two are copying/converging toward React.

All the other web app UI frameworks? Noise, they won't amount to much and add very little. The last release worth paying attention to was React 2 years ago. Hardly a breakneck pace.

Be careful with this! From the README under the "HOSTS" section:

"Append known tracking domains to the HOSTS file located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc"

However there are other articles which suggest changing the hosts file can cause instability[1]:

"Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is disabling communication with these servers (by introducing the server into the hosts file and settings to 127.0.0.1 localhost), but as I tried, after disabling the Windows 10 start acting suspiciously otherwise. Error messages pop up, sometimes the message of "service failure", there are problems with Skype, it is not possible to maintain a stable connection. The problem is with VPN connections that fall. But it is possible that this is just some incompatibilities and nevyladěnost new OS. Apparently, it is necessary not to prohibit certain sites and have available to make things work, but I had no time to analyze them one by one, what causes them off in the long run in Windows 10"

Of course, there are a whole bunch of other potentially dangerous things the tool does like change services and edit the registry. Take care!

Having owned 3.1, 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, 7, and 8 boxes and been paid to use 2.0, NT and Vista, my experience has been that each version [except Me which was meh] has been significantly better...and the amount of improvement from version to version has been markedly increasing...that is, 8 a larger improvement on 7 than 7 was on Vista. People can legitimately disagree on the meaning of "user-hostile". If the way in which people have voted with their wallets in favor of convenience over anonymity, then the view that Microsoft's OS is user-hostile appears not to be in an ascendency [which I am not saying makes it wrong].

Defense Distributed Injunction Denied in Suppression of Gun-Related Net Speech
I have to agree with the author at least in terms of Android L's material design. Sometimes it's clear what's going on or what you need to do to get a specific action done and sometimes it's damnably confusing in another context. I think minimalism is okay if it's meant to remove redundant UI elements but being minimalist for its own sake isn't a good idea for devices because they're about utility. Aesthetics is okay when you're figuring out how to make the whole thing look good as it feels, but if you make it damn near impossible to make sense of how to use a device then it's just putting lipstick on a pig.

Flats in the UK are often not sold as in the US, but rather you purchase a long term (100+ year) lease to the property with the option to extend essentially indefinitely (for a reasonably small cost). Some flats comes with a share in the freehold (ownership of the actual building), but at least in London those are fairly rare.

Yes, but the state can arrest you for rape in Sweden. It doesn't have to be an accusation coming from any of the victims.
Gameplay is still really reliant on the "meta" game (local rivalries, meeting up with teammates, etc) for long term entertainment but as far as in-game mechanics, after a certain point, you need to earn badges for different things like holding areas or creating fields over densely populated areas in order to level up. Between that and missions (stuff like "hack these 20 portals in this one historic district") there's still a bit to accomplish.

That said, it can still get old fast. King-of-the-hill + geocaching essentially. Claim areas, lose areas, nothing lasts for long, etc. Still, it can be fun to see the opposing faction trying to make a big field to gain points before the end of a cycle and coordinating with other people in your town to knock it down before they score those points. Same goes for the opposite way.

A good list. I'd add Stewart Brand's book Whole Earth Discipline [1], although some (not me) take issue with him on his support for nuclear power.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Earth_Discipline
Except many of the claims his supporters make, including in this thread, are that what he allegedly did aren't actually crimes. The UK court system has repeatedly held that they are analogous to UK sexual offences. Others have argued that the Swedish prosecutor can't issue a warrant, again the Supreme Court decided otherwise. Given the scope of the UK Human Rights Act, along with the argued abuse of process claims, I'm not quite sure what objections to the extraditions don't come under a heading that the court would look at.

The problem for Assange is that "but the Americans might try to extradite me, and the Swedish and British courts might suddenly become supine" isn't a valid reason to not be extradited.
The bigger issue is would he have been extradited to the US to face draconian charges for whistleblowing.
The other piece of the equation is the decision behind financing with debt vs equity. A company may choose whichever financing is 'cheaper' for them. Therefore if equity financing were chosen due to it being 'cheaper' then it may be a signal the stock is too high.

This kind of reasoning is probaby why the article mentions Musk himself is buying this round of equity - to give shareholders confidence in the stock price.

It's Ecuador demanding the terms, not Assange.

What makes this whole process so strange is the fact that there's multiple countries involved. Each country has it's own idea of human rights, it's own conception of judicial process. Judicial process in one country can easily resemble a human rights violation in another. It's one of the reasons political asylum exists. Ecuador granted Assange asylum because they recognize the possibility of Assange being extradited to a country where he's never resided for a political crime and possibly tortured for is a grave rights violation.

Ecuador is now responsible for ensuring that those rights aren't violated. They're the one's laying out the conditions, not Assange. It would make Ecuador look bad if they allowed Sweden to take charge of him, and then he ended up being extradited to the US by an organ that doesn't recognize his asylum status in another country.

Everybody involved is just trying to do their jobs, it just takes a long time to work everything out because the legal systems involved were never intended to work like this. If it were just one system, it could work as designed.
Theoretically it should be possible to do this even if MS don't provide the configuration options by patching files, but there is a ton of signing and verification which gets in the way, not to mention things like Secure Boot.

Once a stock is trading on the stock market, buying the products of a company is a better way to support them then buying their stock IMHO.

When you buy Tesla stock on the stock market Tesla gets no money from you - you are actually buying the stock from another entity independent from Tesla. Tesla only receives money when the stock is sold for the first time, by the Tesla Corporation to an outsider.
Thanks for this alternative.

A business is "sound" if it can make a profit. However, a business is only a good investment for the shareholders if it can make a profit large enough to be in line with the general cost of capital and alternative investments.

Lenovo's market cap at the start of this year was $13bn. A $0.4bn profit is a 3% return on equity, in the middle of a strong global growth phase. Normal ROE in the tech sector is 7-10%, so unless they can double or triple this, investors are better of selling up and putting their money in a bond fund (or Lenovo's more profitable competitors).
I always find "intrinsic value" is a very strange way to interpret stock price. All stock prices are trying to predict the future not the present. With large, older, stable companies it gets easier and easier to predict the future "This company is growing by 10% per year so in one year it should be worth 10% more all things being equal and its peers as a group are trading at some multiple (usually profit) so if I think it's at that multiple (or better yet less) and I think 10% is a good return for my money over 1 year then I'll buy some."

With new, rapidly growing, highly speculative companies in big markets (auto, space, energy) it becomes very difficult to predict where they'll be in 1 - 5 years. Investors are still (typically) intelligent and will look at what other disruptive companies have done in the past, look at the management team and leadership etc and place a "bet" on the stock. Because these companies are sometimes growing 50% to 100% per year and someone is happy to hold a stock for 3 - 5 years they will pay a substantially high price for stock in terms of _today's_ revenues or profits. It doesn't mean they won't get it wrong - ie if a company falls to growing "just" 40% per year that makes a huge difference 3 years out. It doesn't mean that the stock price for the new stock is any more or less correct than for the older more stable company. it just means it's much more likely to fluctuate over the next 3 - 5 years as risk and upside is better priced in with more knowledge in place.

I suspect that the terms and conditions didn't start getting thrashed out until Sweden made the formal request. At this level of play there is usually a lot of red tape to work through as two legal systems collide. Which is why you don't leave it to the last minute.

(While I admire the work WikiLeaks has done, I find Assange to be an egotistical idiot but given the number of unusual events that have occurred during this whole affair one can't help being interested.)

You need to read the UK High Court ruling. As is explained there, if Sweden had sufficient evidence to charge Assange in absentia they could do so and issue a European Arrest Warrant. The problem is that this would require the prosecution to demonstrate probable cause and proportionality to a public Swedish court:

> Under Swedish law the issue of a domestic detention order in absentia was a precondition to the issue of an EAW. That order was issued by a court which... had to be satisfied that there was sufficient evidence giving rise to probable cause and that domestic arrest was proportionate.

The Swedish prosecution (a political appointee) is claiming she cannot demonstrate probable cause without interviewing Assange, and yet she refuses to interview him. Leaving aside the absurdity of any reasonable person thinking that any interview will give the Swedish authorities the smoking gun they obviously lack, from a legal standpoint the only sensible explanation for their behavior is that it allows the option of extraditing without public judicial consideration of probable guilt and proportionality of prosecution. Couple that with the very obvious irregularity of the prosecution, the very real prospect of Assange facing indefinite detention in Sweden and the refusal to offer any guarantees against hand-over to the States and there is plenty of evidence that his concerns are very well founded.
The good news is that Oracle is pretty much the only vendor like this these days, and no matter how many companies they buy, they are slowly seeing erosion of both their core business and their peripheral apps/services by upstarts ... not to mention SAP pivoting much more intelligently to the modern, cloud-based SAAS world.
I moved to Linux Mint for the very reason that I saw many comments in places like this. But I have to say, I have been seriously considering moving back. I love the stability and reliability of Linux. And By God it's fast, but the user experience is not the least bit as polished as people keep making it out to be. It's not intuitive, and half the things aren't as easy as people say they are. I lost a whole afternoon trying to get Photoshop to work through WINE and in the end resorted to setting up a virtual machine and installing windows. Less than ideal. I like Linux for what it is, but lack of compatibility with major apps is a major deal breaker. I've not been able to get a single windows app to work through WINE and I've tried a fair few. I would be less inclined to go back if more major app makers were willing to create native Linux apps. Take Quip or 1Password for example. No native Linux support.
