The UK has a well established history of actually having a judiciary that is willing to stand up against US extradition requests and make it possible to drag them out for years.

Sweden, meanwhile, has a history of black bagging political asylum seekers and illegally handing them over to the CIA.

If I was Assange, I know where I would take my chances.
Part of it, here in Aberdeen at least, is that rental prices are extortionate, and if you can scrape together the money to buy, it's often much cheaper; I'm paying a little over half the rental cost of my flat in mortgage payments each month. Most other home-owners I know are in the same boat and save a lot by owning rather than renting. I realise there are added costs to owning, and it's not quite apples-to-apples, but I'm pretty sure we all still come out ahead at the end of the equation.

I realise I'm very fortunate to have been in the position to buy a place five years ago, and I'm grateful for the combination of fortuitous timing and hard-work paying off. That said, if I could have continued to rent affordably, I would probably still be renting today.
In the UK extraditions to the US are generally won or lost in the court of public opinion. It is unlikely that the US would attempt to do this with Assange in the UK as it would immediately turn into a three ring media circus with Assange as ringmaster and would become a very political hot potato.

Much better to do it in a country with a Byzantine legal system, a foreign language and less developed media. Especially one that has been tame in past.

See Gary McKinnon as an example of a high profile extradition attempt from the UK.

Perhaps I'm too used to the radical method "just select what you want from the repository, and it will be installed automagically;" in other words, one of the issues here is nonexistent install management in Windows (party like it's 1998!), forcing users to run this gauntlet (MSI?

So, you think that paying massive amounts of interest to financial institutions, over decades, all while being tied to a specific physical location and having a disproportionate amount of your wealth tied up in a single asset class is "fiscally responsible"?

> Extradition from the UK to the US through Sweden requires goig through Swedish AND UK courts. Its strictly harder

Once he's in Sweden, how does a UK court have any jurisdiction? Anyway, the UK already wants to arrest him and hand him over to Sweden, given that they've been staking out the embassy for several years now.

Imagine if the London police had've spent all those staff-hours chasing domestic rapists. I reckon they would have nabbed at least one that they wouldn't have otherwise, which would bring them up to the same level of arrestees detained as all this effort spent on one guy (who hasn't even been found guilty in any court yet).

The idea that "they wouldn't do it; it's all too politically hard" discounts all the resources they've already spent because of politics.

Not to mention our Queen is also the head of an entire religion and on paper has powers to suspend parliament, her assent is required on legislation passed (a power that hasn't been used for 300 years btw), she can remove Ministers (of the crown) and just for kicks she can declare war and is beyond prosecution.

Of course the second she used these powers they'd be removed but yeah, it's an interesting framework.

Edit: oops, forgot - she is also the Command in Chief of all armed forces and in theory has complete control of the disposition of forces.
Thank you.

It might be interesting to reflect on the social conditions that must have prevailed for judges to believe that this is a defensible judgement. Legal decisions usually reflect the prevailing mores in the social milieu of judges (= upper middle class).
So they implement detection, and remove these ads. The scummy advertisers then permutate their ads until they get past the detection and the game continues.

We're getting pretty good at image classification, but I don't think that extends to maliciously crafted inputs.

Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange

Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, an organisation which he founded in 2006. He is currently a fugitive from UK and Swedish justice, in Ecuador's London embassy after having been granted political asylum by Ecuador in August 2012.
It's a laudable initiative to protect average Joe from himself, but I don't feel like Google (or any other company) deciding for me what is dangerous. They should at least provide this feature as an opt-out option. Still, better option would be to educate more people of ad and script blockers.

> There is little reason to believe he is more likely to be extradited to the USA after being exonerated of a crime in Sweden than before being charged with a crime in Sweden, or from the UK before the courts had exhausted all options to stop him being from extradited to Sweden.

Which of the two is known to have continued to cooperate in illegal extradition flights long after its own government told the US to stop it (we know thanks to Wikileaks), and have had a history of illegally black-bagging political asylum seekers and handing them to the CIA to be shipped off and tortured? (that would be Sweden, if it wasn't clear)

> His jurisdiction-hopping simply doesn't square with someone fearing US power rather than Swedish courts (cf. Snowden)

If you are going by this, then it also doesn't make sense that he's prepared to spend years holed up in an embassy to avoid a case based on allegations that 1) has extremely low conviction rates even before considering that at least one of the women is refusing to cooperate with police, 2) where the punishment generally would be much less time than what he's so far spent holed up in an embassy in a relatively low security Swedish prison. If all is above board, then had he returned to Sweden he'd have been free a long time ago.

As I've said many times before before, I don't think that Sweden has been pushed by the US here, but I do think Assange genuinely think they do, and I can see why he'd be worried, especially given the strange behaviour of the prosecutor.

I agree (about Python, not node.js). This was my introduction to Python. What a mess! Nothing quite worked, and the instructions were very incomplete. Install with or without sudo? System python, homebrew or something else? Python2 or python3? When pip installs libraries, then what's easy_install? How come I can't specify which python version to use for easy_install?

> The Gary McKinnon case is illuminating into the thinking behind extradition from Europe to the US.

It is illuminating about why Assange might feel safe in the UK compared to a country that his own leaks have demonstrated continued to host CIA rendition flights for years after the government said they would stop after being caught illegally black-bagging political asylum seekers and handing them to the CIA.

UK courts actually do stand up against US extradition requests. In Sweden, on the other hand, it is not clear that the government will abide by Swedish law.

The post was a very nice read and hit a personal chord for me. I'm that guy that hoards domain names for all these amazing project idea's. I've started to organize projects into Trello boards, most important ones get their own project board and details start to get hashed out.

The funny thing is that I've flat out closed many boards, because I've lost interest or the idea doesn't seem to solve the problem any longer. That's OK. I think it lets me distill down the best ones for true idea investments. As long as it's full-filling and you learn something along the way, then why not?

> Plus land. How much does the land cost?

According to the article[1], it's in a development area with "million dollar homes", so I'm guessing (based on similar developments near me, also in the Atlanta area) around $200k for a half-acre plot. So in reality, it's a $220k home for "poor people".

Granted this is the pilot program, but it's nearly impossible to find decent land in the right location and conditions to build a home upon for under $20k/acre, at least here in Georgia. So let's say you're lucky enough to find a five acre plot (the minimum for what this kind of home requires to comply with zoning laws near me) for $50k. You buy this kit for $20k, take a leave of absence from work for six weeks to build it (~$6k, if your blue collar job doesn't give you paid leave), hire a licensed electrician ($8k) and licensed plumber ($10k) to handle those jobs because it's not included in the kit and building permits require licensed work. Now we're at ~$94k for a home that will not be as nice as a traditional home that costs the same. Not to mention, $94k is at the upper end of what someone with a $50k/year income can afford.

I get the intention behind the program, but right now it's no different from any other "sustainable initiative" out there: It's a great theory but only applicable in near-perfect conditions or as a prototype.

All of that said, I'd love to tear down my house and build something like this, if only the zoning laws here would allow it.

Like I said, I think we have a similar view. My objection if any, is based on the idea of a risk based portfolio. But it seems you actually mean more generally: savings. All these issues are of course very local. Being English I probably have a very different perspective on what the issues are regarding the affordability of houses, let alone what our specific views are. Primarily I see housing as a necessity rather than a financial opportunity. Do you think people who own a house should be allowed to buy a 2nd one and push first time buyers out the market?

What this means practically for me is that societies using these rental and Lordship systems, should give preference to those seeking to buy a house over those who have one already. The delivery and form of this preference is obviously complex and very tied to local variables like employment and banking structures. Generally I think the renting system exploits the renter and benefits the landlord - esp when the renter has no other option. This is a big issue in England as the gap between house prices and peoples average savings has rocketed in the last 50 years - especially for those in the lower average salary bracket. What does society do when the average working person cant even with savings get a mortgage? In this scenario renting fuels the inequality.

> Once he's in Sweden, how does a UK court have any jurisdiction?

It's in the extradition treaties. If the person has already been extradited from another country, that country also needs to give permission for any onward extradition.
I'm not entirely sure why that's relevant, it only protects Assange from being executed.
And the US would just say "we won't execute Assange"
Yes, obviously the binary decisions are being aggregated, but at the end of the day, everything is filtered through these binary decisions. It's not like "I survived and reproduced and it was all because of X". It's just a binary outcome every time an animal reproduces. It's a vote for a certain combination of traits out of myriads, and now you have to show mathematically that this sort of selection can lead to evolution.

And also keep in mind, the "beneficial" mutation step happens in only one animal, that had the mutation when the genes combined to form its genetic expression. And you need several of these steps. It's not like all of a sudden a bunch of proto-birds started to develop wings. Just one animal developed a proto-wing trait, and then reproduced along with 99.99% of others who didn't. But then, the proto-wing happened to be so beneficial despite not conferring an ability to fly, that the proto birds with the proto wings simply died less than the other 99.99%, and started growing in prevalence. And all this still assumes that, at every step from non-wings to wings, the improvements were beneficial for genetic fitness. Now, what if they weren't? How can evolution wait until a string of mutations detrimental to fitness takes place? Wouldn't that make the population with the proto-wings actually shrink -- when it was already 1 animal or so, it might actually be eliminated if we assume proto-wings were genetically disadvantageous before becoming wings?

Again, there is no math in these explanations. Just descriptions and handwaving. Where is the actual math backing these claims and the explanation of the mathematical results! How does it actually work out? It clearly doesn't seem like it should!
Most importantly, I wish more managers knew that.

Here's the kicker - the UK's permission would be needed if Sweden went on to consider extraditing to the US http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19426382
It's because we're still vicariously liable because we're handing him into the power of another country.

So not only would Swedish courts be an appeal process the UK's would as well.

Plus it is worth making the point that it is inconceivable that the USA would "black bag" Assange. Kidnapping a high profile Australian citizen from a European country while he was still being protected by the UK legal system is beyond international incident territory, the repercussions would be immense. If the US wanted to illegally abduct him making him the focus of the international media and several legal systems is a really bad precursor.

If anything they want to put him on trial and make an example out of him, not apply car batteries to him in some Egyptian hell hole. A trial means a legal means of getting him before a US court, which means following established extradition processes.
she wakes up and sues you for being kissed

We're not talking lawsuits here. We're talking about criminal law, where there is no requirement for the alleged victim to feel aggrieved or even to consent to the prosecution.

If you kiss your sleeping wife, then mention this fact in passing to a police officer, you could theoretically find yourself being arrested and thrown in jail, since you confessed to a serious crime.
Perhaps UK previously unofficially declined to extradite Assange?

>So I don't remember the Swedish law stuff too sell either but there were legal barriers to questioning in the embassy

This is absolutely not true and the Swedish supreme court called the prosecutor out for their bullshit.
