So why not run it through reporters and if they bury the story, then release it. Snowden ran his story through reporters and it certainly wasn't buried.
If it helps, I'm a liberal who has found Wikileaks/Assange increasingly obnoxious for years.

IMHO you see more people upset about Wikileaks now because they're actually doing things that are more objectionable.

I think calling the primaries "rigged" misses a lot of nuance about the Parties in the US and the situation at hand.

First, parties are clubs and they can have their own rules about their internal elections and campaigns. The rules of the normal election at federal level do not apply. The whole free association thing.

Second, Bernie is not "real" democrat. He was prior and plans on returning to the Senate as an independent. He joined/registered early enough before the process started... but essentially he was just renting the ticket. I can understand how the party would try to dissuade that.

Which leads to my third point, the party has to care about its platform, future viability and not just one candidate. The Clinton have a long history with the DNC. Obviously Bill was a generally well liked president before (by the base) but they have done a lot over the years to support other Democratic candidates in State, Congressional and even Mayoral races. They've raised a lot of money for the DNC and down tickets candidates.

Finally, Bernie didn't earn any extra points (my eyes) by claiming a lot of problems with voting and the process it self. He benefit from the system where there were caucuses; in NYC (where the DNC electoral organizer sucks) he voters that were purged were in heavy HRC; and to take the the next level the campaign started claiming at the end it was going to flip the super delegates after bitching about it for a while.

TL;DR Parties have their own rules; Bernie did not pay his DNC dues; parties have to care about a lot more then a single election; Bernie acted like a spoiled child about ballot box issues.

Disclosure: I'm registered independent in NY. Can't vote in either parties primary as a result of that.
A lot of what Wikileaks is reporting now is that the media is coordinating with the same people that these leaks are about in the first place. In other words, the media isn't trustworthy.

It doesn't work like that.

In the past WikiLeaks worked with the media on redaction. Its not like they just handed over the material and stepped away powerless. And they always had the fallback of posting unredacted materials if they felt the media was biased.

The refusal to redact is plain and simply philosophical.
Thanks, but I am looking for a book on topography (maps).

Thank you for the recommendation though!
Plenty of people have been criticizing Wikileaks since the beginning, not just "liberals."

If you really want to be fair about not giving people a free pass, don't give Assange one either. He's made his anti-Clinton bias clear, and it's obvious that his leaks only serve to benefit one specific party, not the cause of truth in general.

And let's not pretend that "the DNC rigged the election" is actually an assertion that's supported more by the leaked documents than by Trump-camp propaganda.
Assange has clearly suggested in a interview recently that DNC staffer Seth Rich was indeed the person responsible for the DNC leak. (and not the Russians as the DNC would like us to believe)

He was shot dead in a "robbery" where nothing was stolen from him.
How to quickly check RAM on Linux
That's a bit of a strawman argument. The least they could do is vet the material with reporters, the media would have jumped all over these emails. If their reporting partners for some reason determined they didn't want to run with the story, then WikiLeaks could just go ahead and do what they've already done.

The fact that they don't care about the vetting aspect anymore just confirms the DNC leak was petty and personal, not an exercise in transparency. The DNC isn't even a government, wasn't the whole point of WikiLeaks to hold governments and their leaders accountable?
> If we want to find the address of a global variable in our program, all we need to do is look up the name of the variable in the symbol table, and then add that to the start of the range in /proc/whatever/maps, and we're done!

We just saw three ranges in ///maps:

5598a9605000-5598a9886000 r-xp 00000000 [...]
5598a9a86000-5598a9a8b000 r--p 00281000 [...]
5598a9a8b000-5598a9a8d000 rw-p 00286000 [...]

what are these? The r??p look like permissions, read/write/execute/something, but how do we know which one to look for the variable in?

(And what are the numbers afterwards? 00281000 on the second line is the length of the range on the first line, but then there's a gap of 00200000 between the end of the first range and the start of the second. 00286000 on the third line is again 00200000 less than the distance from the start of the first range and the start of the second.)

Is this an autonomous car, deadheading? If not, you should consider the resting calorie consumption of the passenger. On a highway, that is indeed negligible; but a crosstown trip in Washington, DC, used to take me about six minutes per mile.

The article on travel efficiency shows that a walking person requires about 210 calories per hour at 4 km, about 2.5 miles/hour, call it 85 calories/mile. For an American consuming 2500 calories/day, a given hour requires about 104 calories: divide that by 2.5, reckon 41 calories in the time it takes to walk a mile. Now the cost of walking over resting is about 42 calories, and we have walking down about where he has biking.

Please correct me, for it's likely that I have missed something here.

I'm a software developer who focuses on operational automation, and this brings almost nothing to the table which I could want. Especially replacing the function keys with a touchpad; why would I want to replace dedicated keys with muscle memory attached to them with soft keys that can change on whim?

Better graphics may be nice, if it's enough to allow me to drive a pair of high-resolution displays in addition to the laptop's screen itself. I'm not hopeful, though, due to the power and heat requirements.

As for thinner, at what cost? Battery life? Active cooling? A nasty keyboard like those in the new macbook? Losing even more ports?

Here's what I want in a MBP refresh: More power. Enough battery life to allow me on a hangout all day long; or at least enough battery life that I can have Chrome running and still be able to code all day long. A strong enough graphics card to smoothly drive a pair of 4k monitors in addition to the internal monitor. No loss of existing ports. More CPU power for compiling code. A touch screen.

Were establishment Democrats particularly pro-wikileaks during the Manning releases? I don't recall that - in general both parties have been pretty much anti-whistleblower and pro-secrecy.

If anything the Republicans (particularly pro-Trump factions) have been awfully hypocritical on this stance since they've previously called for various leakers (Snowden in particular) to return home and face the death penalty. They definitely previously referred to Assange as a criminal and a threat to national security, but I guess as long as he's anti-Hillary he's a hero?
"the media" is a bunch of individuals, many of which are not as you describe. They could find trustworthy and thorough reporters to work with if they wanted to. They did before.
Hopefully they'll release a line of either MacBooks, or MacBook Airs using the iPad Pro's processor (or similar ARM offering). It's more then up to the task of most users needs, plus far more power efficient then Intel's offerings.

Yes, all the time. There are multiple helpful controls on them, and the function keys themselves are useful in many editors. I'm not keen to lose them in favor of a touch screen that can change on a whim, with minimal tactical feedback.
Oh believe me he will leak the proof for it too. He will slowly destroy the Democrats by constantly leaking proof of their outright criminal conduct.

And Trump doesn't strike me as a man that will allow the Clintons to get away from this. He will definitely persecute them to the fullest extent after he has won the elections, he even said himself that he believes Hillary should go to prison.

- 32 GB (or more) memory
- Better battery life / supported external battery packs
- Multitude of ports (add USB-C but keep some "legacy" around as well)

But when the big variations are caused by things like boycotts and the fact that games simply didn't take place, then this continuity argument doesn't really make sense. US Sports didn't slowly collapse from 1976 to 1980 then gradually recover through to 1984.

I've worked there myself and have a ton of friends who have spent time there. Some folks have even enjoyed working there. Overwhelmingly the evidence is that Amazon is a very bad place to work at, on average. You might get lucky and find a good team (amazon is incredibly federated as an organization) but you might also get unlucky and get an extra bad team. Also, unlike a lot of other tech companies of similar size (such as Microsoft or Amazon) there's basically no "love" at the corporate level for individual employees. At other companies reaching that "full-time employee" status level means something, and the company is willing to invest in you. You have the ability to move around to different teams, you have the ability to change your role. You have a wide range of options in terms of training to take. Working as an FTE at Amazon feels like working as a contractor anywhere else.

It's very dysfunctional, though there are enough devs who mostly know what they're doing who stick around for a long time to keep things running. Additionally, the service oriented architecture of the system makes it a lot easier to cycle through lots and lots of devs.

Of all of the folks I've known who have worked there most left after a short period of time because they hated it.

> First, I would argue that prolonged periods of political stability are required in order for resources to be put towards something other than conflict. That took Westphalian sovereignty, not a treatise on fluid dynamics or even a theory of economics.

But one also needs conflict (or the threat of conflict) to spur innovation and prevent a lapse into stasis, as occurred with China. One shudders to think how if a few historical events had occurred differently, we might still be living a mediæval lifestyle.
Well you have to give them 100k cash to even bid.. so you at least need to be 10% serious to have that kind of money hand over to bid.
Think about it like a data project at a company (because that's my job, heh). There's this weird, but accurate, assumption that the first to report something is assumed true, and anything that comes later either has to conform to that or is presumed to be wildly inaccurate.

It's not so much the risk that the media buries it, I was incorrect in framing it that way. The bigger risk is that the media spins and reports it. Remember, they still have the majority of the eyes and ears.

Snowden did it, but note that it involved foreign media. It's probably easier to get foreign media involved in an international spying story than it would be to get someone to take up the US democratic primary and campaign finance laws (which everyone else in the world already thinks is ridiculous). I'm not saying it can't be done, or that it shouldn't be done or whatever else - but I do think it's a complex decision.

Assange has a personal vendetta against HRC because while Secretary of State she complicated his life.

I like the mission of wiki leaks; I think they should do some basic editing like not leaking names or ordinary citizens (or low level gov employees). But, I think Assange is terrible front man for the organization. I guess nobody else wants the job.

> Sending out the name of every woman voter in Turkey does not benefit anyone

It was not wikileaks who did this. See here: https://glomardisclosure.com/2016/07/26/the-who-and-how-of-t...

Specifically from the summary at the end:

1. Because they tweeted the link to the item, they were blamed by the article. This provoked what seems in hindsight to be an overly defensive reaction. Given the accusations that Russia supplied WikiLeaks with information to publish and some construing this to mean that WikiLeaks is controlled by Russia, it’s easy to see how this could happen.

2. Even though my name was on the page as the uploader and I had tweeted it out first, WikiLeaks never tried to pass the buck to me or say that it was my upload or my fault. They never reached out to me privately to ask me to do or say anything about it, despite the fact that that would have made things easier for them or taken the pressure off of them. I can only conclude that this is because doing so would have violated the spirit, if not the letter, of their source protection policy by placing the blame on me or pointing the Turkish government in my direction. For that, I’m grateful.
Review of the BBC's use of statistics
To elaborate, the things that often lead to unhappy workers also include:

- Unknown expectations from the job
- Little or no control over decisions that affect your job
- Missing feeling of involvement

The fair treatment bit is mentioned in the article. The reality is that people tend to be more irrational than they probably ought to be which usually has significant (negative) side-effects.
Even if we generously interpret the "whole lot of reporters", the implication here is that they were left with no reporters to work with. That's absurd. There are many, many reporters, and even many credible reporters. It would not have been difficult to find non-implicated reporters that could deliver this with an impact.

You're acting as if there is a small group of reporters who, if compromised, make it impossible for Wikileaks to be responsible.
If you mean that this sort of thing is decided by states and law, not companies or their company policies, then that's correct. Different states decide differently though, and that means that the map looks different depending on where you query it from.
What's interesting is that this is a protocol bug, not an implementation/software bug (in RFC 5961).
