I'm one of those who would defend his actions.

Lets assume Sweden drops the rape case against him. Then he would certainly be extradited to the USA. A country where the harshest penalty is the death sentence, a country that imprisons people for life without a due process and a country that tortures its prisoners.

Afaik the rape accusations in Sweden boil down to "he had sex with a woman w/o using a condom", but that could be wrong.

EDIT: Read up on the issue and the accusation is that he had unprotected sex with a woman while she was asleep.

Very few things that the UN does is legally binding. The idea is that you can use the ruling to shame national governments into doing the right thing, and it gives politician that support the ruling leverage for trying to oust the sitting government.
The UK police have said they will still arrest him if he leaves, and the UN ruling is not legally binding.
He has evaded prosecution for rape for years

Whilst I am no fan of Assange, I think it is fair to point out that Assange is avoiding deportation to Sweden to face questioning concerning accusations of alleged rape. He isn't being prosecuted (yet).

Innocent until proved guilty please, whether you or I like him or not.

Perhaps there is something significant in the fact that
Assange is in the Ecuadorian Embassy

There is no secret in that. It's an embassy and sovereign territory of the Ecuadorians. No government in their right mind would trespass.
Lets assume Sweden drops the rape case against him. Then he would certainly be extradited to the USA.

He spent weeks in UK before going to the Ecuadorian Embassy. Why didn't the UK extradit him to the US?

Afaik the rape accusations in Sweden boil down to "he had sex with a woman w/o using a condom",

...while said woman was sleeping, and when the evening before she had categorically refused to have sex without a condom, AFAIK.
It's a political move. He wants to use the UN to put pressure on the UK and Sweden.

Why hasn't Assange appealed to the European Court of Human Rights? Both Sweden and the UK are members and he's subject to a European arrest warrant.

I am wondering what is your definition of biodegradable then. I would argue that cremation is the ultimate form of biodegradation of the body, since it has been reduced to something that cannot be reduced any further - you end up with some carbon and calcium, which is what you would end up anyway - that's what we are made out of in the end.

As mentioned by some people in the comments, Assange may still be arrested due to the lack of jurisdiction of UN panel's such as this.

If that is the case, what is there that we (as supporters of Assange's plight) can do to add pressure to the UK government and forward the effort towards securing his freedom?
So I would call that closer to being "visionary" rather than being lucky. In other words, it's seeing something before other people see it. Seeing unrecognized potential is a skill that I believe requires a certain form of intelligence.

You could imagine someone choosing information retrieval without any special insight... but those kinds of people usually don't have enough curiosity or motivation to get to the frontier of the field and push the boundary.

When you say "someone got lucky", you are usually undermining their success, by implying that their personal talents and hard work didn't have much to do with it.
Probably because at every stage where a court has looked into the issue they have crushed him. The UK Supreme Court's ruling was very clear on the matter and did him no favours in terms of public opinion. Taking to the ECHR and losing would be another serious blow.

It only proves that the allegations are false in my opinion. I think he's weird and don't follow him or wiki leaks but the fact the UK is so insistent on arresting him instead of questioning him and deciding to file charges or not only proves his theory that they want to eventually send him to the United States.

IMO
You've raised an important point here: the 'human vs self-driving car' is something of a false dichotomy.

The human driving experience will become more and more augmented by technology, with auto-braking, lane-assist, smart cruise control and (eventually) auto-navigation until we have almost-self-driving cars which are still legally required to have a qualified human in the driver's seat. Many of the these features already exist in high-end cars.

People will be much happier to hit the 'auto' button and climb into the back seat when they've already had several years of 'almost-auto' driving.
That's the official version indeed.

I'm not at all against this move from Google - it is good sense. However, to play Devil's advocate, what are the odds this was pushed down by the MPAA/RIAA or similar? This policy more or less directly targets sites that offer free online streaming or torrent downloads of Movies/TV/Music. The sites that wind up with these deceptive ads are typically sites that provide copyrighted content to their users.

Again, this is not a bad move. But I'm curious about the true motivations. If I were the MPAA, and trying to shut down the revenue stream of sites offering free streaming and torrents, this would be one of the ways to do it. That, or Google is simply sick of receiving takedown notices - and this is one method to take these sites out of their listings before even receiving the DMCA.

Looking for a Paid Marketing Internship in California
Dear hiring managers,

I am a young professional with relevant working experience in online and offline marketing. I am genuinely interested in working as an intern in the US, as this experience would enable me to combine my passion for your country, language and culture and my willingness to gain meaningful professional experience in the marketing field.

Although I originally come from Milan, Italy, I have been living, studying and working in Berlin for over three years. In December 2014 I graduated with a Master thesis about German Linguistics. While Italian is my mother tongue, I also speak English (TOEFL Ibt 113/120), German (C2) and Spanish (B2).

While living in Berlin, I have gained professional experience in marketing thanks to different full time positions. In 2014 I worked for Rocket Internet, where I gained advanced knowledge in online marketing. In 2015, I worked at eBay Inc. My tasks involved planning, executing, and coordinating both online and offline marketing campaigns, working closely with external agencies.

Currently, I am working as Jr. Performance Marketing Manager with focus on Paid Social Media and Display at Knip AG. My major tasks involve managing the creation of marketing campaigns; taking charge of the creative process in cooperation with our graphic design team, monitoring and optimizing campaigns; managing budgets and analyzing data.

Thanks to my education and professional experience, I have developed excellent communication skills. Moreover, I have strong analytical skills and a structured way of working. I am creative, proactive and highly motivated.

I am in contact with an agency that would be able to sponsor my J1 visa if I can find an internship in the States. Please do not hesitate to contact me of you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a first call.

Kind regards,

Alessandra Maino

Still no:

"The vast majority of the 475,647 homes quoted by the LGA are either on sites where work has already started, or where there is not a fully ‘implementable’ permission and where it is not legal for builders to commence construction"

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/jan/07/number-of-unb...

"To get to 475,000 unbuilt homes, the LGA have looked at every development scheme that has permission, and decided that, until the scheme is completed, the whole development should be classed as unimplemented – even if most of the houses are mid-construction, or even if they have been finished.

If you count houses that have been built as unbuilt, you are obviously going to end up seriously exaggerating from reality. I am writing this article from a flat that was finished 18 months ago; but another part of the development is still being built. According to these figures, I live in an unbuilt home."

Also, it's pretty bad form to ghost-edit your comment after it's been commented on.
I think that's the correct answer. So, rather than going up the legal hierarchy in Europe, Assange is attempting a political end-run by going to the UN.
I hope they'll include a "Stop the nanny" flag in chrome://flags as well.

I do feel for Assange. Hi is in a bad situation, but personally so do I not see how his voluntary attempt to evade a legal arrest order is detention. Hi is accused of a serious crime and the Swedish authorities must investigate it.

Being prosecuted doesn't mean guilty. Calling being questioned being prosecuted isn't that far off the mark. And neither term implies guilt.
I'm not sure they need to. Google's approach here tackles the problem of these ads being created from an economic direction: if nobody is seeing these ads, they won't make any CPM money any more, so their creators will stop running them.

That's a much more sensible approach than doing what you're suggesting—trying to catch specific instances of people doing something nefarious that makes them money. That just causes the people posting the ads to get more clever, such that it gets more and more costly to catch each instance. (That was helpful in the ReCAPTCHA case, since spammers were advancing computer vision techniques in the process. It's not a harnessable force in the general case.)

One charge was dropped, and it was for molestation and they ran out of time on that one. The rape charge is from a women who continued to sleep with after the alleged rape, according to Assange for a week. Not particularly serious charges, in my opinion.
I know these fake ads all suck and everyone hates them but somehow getting rid of them feels like cutting off a little piece of what makes the web the web.

I kinda like this darker, more free-for-all, wild wild west side of the Internet.
It'll be interesting to see if they block people from visiting sites that use doubleclick for ads, or if this is just an excuse for blocking sites that use competing ad providers.

The bigger question is why is the UN going along with it.

The UN should stop trying to tell countries what to do, no one listens to them anyway. Focus on helping when asked, and brokering voluntary treaties, when asked.

What about forcing down a presidential plane (of a nearby country)? Would a government in their right mind do that?

Hello, Sentinel 2 is doing quite a good work for many users, here is for example Flickr report: http://code.flickr.net/2014/07/31/redis-sentinel-at-flickr/

Of course Sentinel does not make Redis conceptually different from what it is from the point of view of consistency guarantees during failures. It performs best-effort attempt to select the best slave to retain writes, but under certain failure modes its possible to lose writes during a failover.

This is common with many failover solutions of *SQL systems as well btw. It depends on your use case if this is an affordable risk or not. For most Redis use cases, usually the risk of losing some writes after certain failovers is not a big issue. For other use cases it is, and a store that retains the writes during all the failure scenarios should be used.

I'm Canadian, not American, but perhaps? I honestly (literally) don't understand what shocks you exactly. Save money -> invest money to grow savings -> time passes -> eventually you have enough to buy a home, if you want.

I'm guessing you're saying that homes are so expensive, most people could not reasonably afford one even with disciplined saving and investing. But at least as a long term state, that seems logically impossible. The reason being, if homes were that expensive, no one would buy them to rent out either; because, either they would have to charge rent sufficiently low that people could afford it, in which case they wouldn't make any return on their investment given the high cost of the house, or they would charge high enough rent to make a decent return, in which case no one could pay it.

Since the supposed problem is with home ownership rather than with finding decent places to rent (aside from special cases like San Francisco,) that doesn't seem to be the case though.

Now, special cases may certainly exist in some markets that causes housing to be scarce, but that will tend to make both prices and rents high. I agree that that situation (limited access to housing) IS an important social issue. But it is distinct from the ability to purchase a house, which doesn't seem necessary or wise for everyone to be able to do without first saving.

Edit: Perhaps you were just saying that given low interest rates, one would not expect to earn much on a conservative portfolio. If so, I agree; any appreciation would be a bonus, but the main thing is the savings side.
I made a similar comment elsewhere in the thread before reading yours.

I think the evolution of self-driving cars will be through the gradual improvement of auto-pilot cars until the human just has to sit there and do nothing 99% of the time (but still be legally in control).
The hard part here is that, wherever you'd decide to persist a "don't bug me any more about this" flag, malware could also potentially write that same flag to that same place. For example, Windows UAC is frequently set to the "don't bug me about this, just auto-elevate" setting by malware.
So, if they are not serious charges he should have his day in court and get it over with.

And, don't tell me the ridiculous story about how if he went to Sweden he'd be extradited to the US. He was in the UK, you think we aren't buddy-buddy with the US and would have handed him over?
"Then he would certainly be extradited to the USA" Now you're the one using absolutes that no-one can be certain of. One of the key points about the whole process is that Sweden can't pre-emptively say what they would do if the US requested extradition because they haven't.

The one extradition case we have seen play out, to a country famed for its liberal criminal justice policy (Sweden) from a country famed for the rule of law (UK) gave him many opportunities to test the process through the courts. That was even through the European Arrest Warrant process which is supposed to streamline extradition processes.

If, and it is an if, Assange were to be subject to an extradition request from the US he would be able to challenge it through the courts. He wouldn't face the death penalty as European countries don't extradite under those circumstances. Similarly prison conditions can be argued and again European courts can require commitments from the US regarding conditions and treatment before they would approve an extradition.

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

Finally it is also worth saying that Assange has probably also shot himself in the foot if he ever did face extradition to the US. He was bailed in the UK (where there is a presumption of bail) and this able to flee to the embassy. If he were arrested again facing extradition to the US he would be much less likely to be granted bail and so unable to claim political asylum on a much more sympathetic case.
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. His jurisdiction-hopping simply doesn't square with someone fearing US power rather than Swedish courts (cf. Snowden)

Frankly, the probability of the USA torturing or executing a celebrity journalist from a Western country isn't particularly high anyway, especially not when it involves extradition from a European country, but of course asking countries to rewrite their statute book to offer him a special personal guarantee it won't happen is a good way of deflecting a rape charge.
