It would be rather helpful if you sourced your quotes. The Queen's Bench ruling (which does contain the apposite phrase in para 71) in http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/02_11_11_assange....

Except that if you'd read further (or not taken the Wikileaks edited highlights) the court immediately goes on to say "Nonethless, as the material was put before us de bene esse, we will express our view on what difference it would have made if we have taken it into account in determining whether the description of the conduct was fair and accurate."

The court did specifically look at whether the offences alleged would constitute crimes in the UK for instance in para 96:
"In our view, therefore, the description was fair and accurate; the offence was, for the reasons we have given an offence under the law of England and Wales; the requirement of dual criminality was satisfied".

On the rape question in para 109: "In our view on this basis what was described in the EAW was rape." it even goes on "A requirement of proof of coercion, if that is what Swedish law requires, is a more onerous test for the prosecution to satisfy than the test for consent in the 2003 Act".

So the court went "you showed us this, we don't need it but we're going to point out how it doesn't help your case anyway". Assange got spanked by the British Courts, repeatedly, who were convinced that he had to go to Sweden to assist in the investigation into serious offences. Despite the best efforts of some very experienced and serious lawyers no Human Rights angle was found to stop it either.
The increase in value only came from the new $500m in cash. That cash didn't come from the company's operations and it didn't come from you, so there's no reason to think that your shares would increase (or decrease) in value.

Demand and supply does not apply when you are talking about involuntary labor. Given that a lot of labor is forced wage-slavery (the "freedom" to choose between working to death and starving to death / being homeless is not freedom), your point about the equilibrium is false. Labor wages are simply the lowest that labor can be paid.
If you're referring to the bailouts, that was hardly the case. Some of them were negligently overextended and deserved to fail, like any business. If they had failed, their assets would have been picked up by a more conservative bank at bargain rates and everything would have been taken care of automatically. Instead, the crony system demanded a gratuity from the government.

He's using the notion of "human capital" which I think is clearly different enough from ordinary capital so as to deserve a different term. Human capital can beget ordinary capital if someone works hard for many years, saving their money and reinvesting it, but your average office worker is no more a 'capitalist' than a temporarily homeless man looking for work. Human capital seems differentiated by the fact that it ultimately is traded on the market for wages and generally doesn't translate into any kind of meaningful ownership of the fruits of capital.

I tried using Eclipse on Ubuntu Linux and some how Ubuntu stuck in gimpy scrollbars that almost worked.

I was really impressed with the first betas of KDE, like wow, a good desktop was possible on Linux. However, since then things have just gotten worse. What you expect to have happen on Linux is that the font metrics are all screwed up and there are just zillions of things wrong with the UI that never get fixed or get substituted with other problems.

Confront Linuxers with this, and they sound like Scientologists, they completely deny there is a problem... And that is the problem. If Linux hardcores would admit the GUI sucks, maybe somebody ould try to fix it.
What puzzles me is why they use some completely different domains than the ones most people would instinctively trust more, like msn.com and microsoft.com.

I mean, if you see Windows communicating with a domain that ends in *.microsoft.com, that tends to arouse less suspicion than flashtalking.com, adnexus.net, 2mdn.net, and a-msedge.net - as a long-time Internet user, I'd suspect an infection if I suddenly started seeing these show up without having done anything that could lead to such, like visiting sites with ads in the browser.

99% is still "some". Regardless, since when is "some" keyloging acceptable?

> too much data

That depends on a lot of factors. Text is small and trivial compared to most stuff on the internet these days. How many kilobytes per day of text does the median windows user even type?

It would be even easier for MS to filter out stuff like video games (DirectInput?) to reduce the size.

> I think

Guessing is useless. What matters is the data going over the wire and what authorized MS to do in the future.

> there needs to be more shared about how this works

No, there needs to be explicit informed consent form the user.
> Anyone remember the MS "gmail man" ads mocking the way Google inspects your email

Yes, and they were widely mocked. Privacy fears don't really sell, especially when deployed 10 years too late by a company that is the definition of "establishment".
I agree that the rich of the world are morally obliged to help the rest catch up. The analysis you put forth suggests the wages that otherwise would go to the middle and working classes are going to people in developing countries but is it not also true that whilst wages are stagnating the wealth generated by increased productivity is largely accumulating amongst the already super rich?
I'm trying to remember if my rural Georgia elementary school even had a library. Surely it must have, but I can't remember any space books in it. We did have a "book fair" that came around a couple times a year and I got a wonderful, new space book there.

The tiny town library had a bunch of Tom Swift books from the 1930s or whenever that I devoured. First books I remember choosing to read myself. Which probably explains a lot, actually.
That could perhaps explain this phenomenon in the U.S. but this phenomenon is not solely expressed in The US. It is exemplary in the U.S. but it is also seen in more socialist countries as well. China, Brazil, as well as European economies.
How Much Is That in Today’s Money?
Because it usually doesn't matter. If you are not a Google/Facebook scale op, cobbling together something with SQLite on a battery backed RAM disk is probably properly enough. I'm pretty sure that could run the store part of Amazon with enough madness thrown at it.

So for most companies UX is more important than how messy your backing store is. And yes, delivering good UX requires quick iterations, and that probably means a good operational support for experimenting with various data access patterns, but - again - SQL is enough. Just throw more Hadoop at it, if not. (For specialized data stores. Or just more hardware and even more 12c instances and use that as your key-value store. Doesn't matter. Wrap it and spend more time on UX and features.)

Yes, disrupting them with better technical skills is possible, but don't forget that in the end you have to provide value, and rarely a "contains only F/OSS" sticker is enough.
So how do they run multiple application servers to scale horizontally? Or a cluster of Redis servers?
There's a Chinese saying that it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white as long as it catches mice.

People can express racism without it being overt, yet it can be just as destructive. In a relatively recent North Florida murder case, the jury was pruned to be all-white by the white prosecuter, citing a "sympathetic age similarity" with one of the prospective black jurors, who was 34. The defendant was 19.
> The device is composed of a fluid delivery system coupled to an electrical power source, which propels streams of conductive liquid onto a target vehicle. The streams act as tethers creating a closed circuit for pulses of electrical energy to be delivered, disrupting and disabling the vehicle’s electrical systems. The device can be outfitted to various mobile and aerial platforms.

So this is a "car taser" that uses a liquid instead of wires. It sounds like you have to hit the car with 2 of these conductive streams at once. And please, do not cross the streams!

I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping that the Navy had weaponized the recent CAN hacks (that has recently been used to disable a Jeep and other cars) for LEO use.

> intrinsic value

My experience with Bitcoin has caused me to smile every time this turns-out-it-is-completely-bullshit concept is thrown around

All values are subjective. All of them. There is no "real" or "intrinsic" value (except by consensus agreement of subjective values). The emperor wears no clothes, and there is no rabbit in the hat. Unless we consensually believe there is, that is.
To me, that it worked so easily says a lot about the people holding TSLA.

> Why did this horrible language become so popular? Why has it not been replaced?

Why indeed. I think the answer is because it's available everywhere (at least, on all Unix/Linux). I found myself writing yet another m4 macro only a couple of weeks ago and despairing, again.
It's unfortunate that you're absolutely correct. Mens rea is one of the worst concepts to ever enter the legal system.
That's interesting. What was your MOS? In the infantry, we had a much higher ratio of police officers, and I was in a few different units which had higher ratios than yours. In my last company alone we had -- roughly estimating here -- fifteen or twenty law enforcement officers of various kinds.
There is certainly an ambiguity in the word capital. We talk about intellectual capital, or human capital, or cultural capital. However, there is also a kind of discussion about "capital" and "labor" where a more narrow definition of capital is in play.

This is interesting, in terms of debate. Where we're talking about "means of production", refuting the claim that workers don't have "capital" by referring to the broader use of the term capital does dip a toe into the fallacy of ambiguity. However, as a stand alone point, a related argument stating that the workers are more powerful than you'd think due to human capital they hold, yeah, I think it's a reasonable thing to point out.
That's certainly an elaborate way of calling it art.
The problem with this is that unless you're doing deep packet inspection, they can patch the system to route every call through the same frontend IP -- including services you actually want to use. It'll work for the short term, but probably not long term -- doubly so if they just route everything over HTTP.

I identified the same issue with cycle time, but to me the biggest problem is the assumption of an accurate, sensitive, non-destructive-read sensor. They're assuming that they can charge a capacitor from a photodiode accurately, and also hook a voltage comparator (which is effectively the same as an ADC) to it constantly to get an accurate pulse to count.

Assuming you have an accurate sensor that can be read non-destructively, then none of this modulus stuff is necessary anyway. Read once to set the proper gain on the ADC, then read again to get the fine bits. That way you still get the "unbounded HDR", but you don't need an ADC for every single receptor site, and you don't waste space on the counter or comparator. Instead, all of that lives on the image processor where it's not going to cause heat noise.

That's such an incredibly enormous hand-wave to me that I feel I've got to be missing something. Why make it so complex with all the modulus stuff if we have a magic sensor?
Yeah, I have noticed exactly the same, and I'm glad to see that I'm not alone falling through the rabbit hole. They're trying to turn the US's disenfranchised fringes (who are quite numerous and increasingly disgruntled now a days) inward to attack the state, but right now the propaganda is quite clumsy. See: RT, sputniknews.com, and the others you mentioned.

Most of the modern Russian internet propaganda is easy to find, and rarely goes deeper than a bathtub. What is interesting is that they are clearly targeting the left and right leaning populations within the US quite differently. The right is targeted with clumsy racial incitement whereas the left is targeted with clumsy "environmentalist" incitement. There is a ton of overlap, but I bet you can hammer out these separate phyla of propaganda targets quite easily.

It's pretty hard to tell how effective these propaganda campaigns are in riling up the target groups because they're mainly pushed by shills. Are the crowds of Putin apologists on Reddit actually Westerners who have come to believe (via propaganda) that Putin really is innocuous, or are they the same three people trying to fabricate a consensus? If I had to put my money on it, I'd say the latter. The propagandists give the public discussion a big shove in the right direction, then it's the useful idiots who believe them that have to carry it into the minds of the public in a durable way.

What we don't see is positive mentions of Russia in day to day real life conversations, meaning that the propaganda has poor staying power, even if it reaches saturation in certain audiences.
I'm being a little unfair here since my sample size is only the people I know who are informed (very few), but even the rabble who can't think for themselves aren't singing praises to Putin-- probably because the US propaganda saturation has been much higher for many more years, conferring resistance to certain types of outsider propaganda.

I really like thinking about this stuff.
Ask HN: Have you ever used time-blocking? Why? How'd it work?
Time-blocking is when you reserve specific chunks of time (usually on a calendar) for specific tasks. Granularity may vary, but think of it as reserving time to complete each of your to-dos. I'm developing a product that will help people do this.
So I'm curious:

If you've used the technique, what were the circumstances (Work, school, parenting, etc)? Did it improve your productivity or balance? If you've since stopped, why did you decide to stop using the technique?

Assange is claiming they can talk to him any time and the Swedes are saying they've tried and can't. That's a pretty direct conflict. Either one or the other is being disingenuous at best and outright lying at worst.
That OS-level keylogger would be extremely worrying, as would various other monitoring mentioned in your second link.

However, it's worth pointing out that the same link now starts with this warning:

Do you know if there is any information sent to Microsoft by default for which they did not offer you a screen widget to click that says "off"?

Yes some of the wealth which could otherwise could go to the workers of first world countries is going to the upper management of these companies, but I think that is made possible because of globalization. If the domestic costs get too high, they can move production to Mexico, or they can move development to Russia or India. This keeps a lid on wages and at the same time allows more for the management class. If we were to see international competition in management workers, they too would experience stagnation and companies would see increased profits.

Let's look at the wage growth of professionals who implement barriers to entry from foreign trained professionals like doctors, lawyers, etc. Have their wages stagnated?
You realize the person who you accuse of having a "very simplistic view of capitalism" (the author) has been studying economics for most of his life and won a Nobel Prize for it? Currently a professor of economics at MIT? Etc...

Oh the 1/10,000,000th comes from assuming they need to reset 128 * 8000 times per second to merely equal current sensor performance before losing sensitivity to misc losses.

If they want one more bit of DR they need to cycle in half as much time, and so on. Similarly, if we generously assume they're only losing 50% efficiency to cycle time and real estate then double again.

If Sweden was such a terrible place for Assange to be why did apply for a work permit there? Why did he leave and go the UK, after all a nation with far closer ties to the US?

Onward extradition would have been far more complicated via Sweden as the UK would have had to approve it as well. Why not just have the US extradite Assange from the UK to the USA directly? If the CIA was going to concoct a rape claim why not make it a little more than "she was asleep"? If the USA is ruthless in the pursuit of its enemies (except of course Snowdon is a US citizen who, rightly or wrongly, very much did break US law) then why has it been so decidedly non ruthless in the pursuit of Assange?
I completely misinterpreted your comment. I read your comment as saying that I was guilty of the fallacy. You're right, though, it seems people are quick to make this kind of argument about this issue, as though we're supposed to believe that our police forces aren't being militarized.
I'm not sure I'm convinced by your argument. Think about your cell phone, your cell phone bill, your TV & cable, internet bill, the few subscription services you use (netflix, spotify, etc. Although these pretty much replace libraries), laptop, apps the list goes on. There are so many things we buy now because we borderline rely on these to live that we just didn't need before on top of what we used to buy (housing, car, fuel, electricity, food, etc).

What's great though is that although the price of life has probably gone up over the past few years, sharing is becoming the new norm: a place to stay, a ride in an airplane, clothing, a car ride etc etc.

But in the end, I'm still not convinced the price of modern life requires less resources.
No I think you're right. The one big thing that has yet to really move online is sports. Once I can watch all the games I want online, cable is going away
I read in an article posted here yesterday that the reason for the stalemate is that Ecuador is demanding Sweden make statements to the effect that Assange is in a legal asylum at the embassy. Sweden don't want to get involved in that side of things, they just want to interview him and so have refused that demand.
P.S. No one calls it GNU/Linux except RMS fanboys. Quit your pretentious holier-than-thou mocking.

The distinction actually makes sense when talking about, e.g. Android versus GNU/Linux. Android uses the Linux kernel, but it doesn't use GNU tooling. Contrast to what are typically referred to as "Linux distributions", which do use GNU and are thus usefully distinguished as GNU/Linux. The GNU part actually makes a practical difference if you're a hacker.
You have to know that your privacy defaults are batshit crazy when people start developing tools to automate correcting them.
I don't think the word pretentious means what you think it means. And I wasn't mocking anyone. I simply said that I won't call it that.
