A good read. It's painful to hear that writers of fiction are getting harrowed by well-meaning but obviously misguided activists who believe cultural appropriation is seriously a thing.

I'm not surprised — although fascinated — about the way social media has granted these young idealists a platform for their irrational concepts of political correctness taken to the extremes, but I am taken aback about how notions such as safe spaces and trigger warnings have taken hold in academics via the student communities.

Is it the fear of being labelled a racist and having your good name tainted on-line by these very vocal activists with a receptive platform of like-minded individuals available at their fingertips that stops people (fellow students and faculty) from simply brushing it off as nonsense?
Does that mean doing `Ctrl + R` can be colorized now just like how zsh does it ?

That article has this set of gems "The resulting lagoon, according to the CIA, would have four benefits:[8]

It would be "spectacular and peaceful."
It would "materially alter the climate in adjacent areas."
It would "provide work during construction and living areas after completion for the Palestinian Arabs."
It would get Egyptian president Gamel Abdel Nasser's "mind on other matters" because "he need[ed] some way to get off the Soviet Hook.""
That eventually turned into JITs, and it's still a very powerful technique for tight loops on modern processors, although the pipeline means the benefit happens with more iterations than on the old non-pipelined/cacheless CPUs. It can even be done across multiple cores, as I coincidentally explained here a short while ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12485205

I don't think SMC has ever been "relatively mainstream", at least after HLLs gained popularity over Asm. But in Asm, it still has its uses where a full JIT would be far too much overhead.
It's a different beast. The price is high during those 15 minutes because of supply and demand. If you implement a smart grid that regulate load, you upset the supply and demand balance and the power might become so cheap that new self regulating systems are not worth the initial cost.

The rape accusations seem valid, but I'm not qualified to judge and neither are you. A court should decide.

I find the whole idea that two girls tried to get him to take an STD test and it escalates to him fleeing to be an incredibly non-credible way for the US to extradite him.

Why didn't the US pursue him for those months he was wandering around London?
This solves some peoples' problems at the expense of others.

A big attraction of remote work to me is that I don't have the feeling of being overlooked while "in the zone" (which tends to mean that "the zone" never really happens). Video might actually be worse in practise than an open office. Could turn it off, of course, but it's the kind of thing that could easily end up as a "not a team player" flag in the modern software world.

There are things like PukkaTeam[1] which go for snapshots rather than video. Less bandwidth and perhaps marginally less intrusive, but still means people are looking at you...

As I had recalled earlier there was some damning evidence, if true, supporting the case that it is a conspiracy.

Functional programming was definitely pretty esoteric when I learned about it during a CS degree in the mid 1980s!

I was looking into doing this today. Specifically, I needed to reference a particular property (a token in the JSON/XML content) in future requests. The docs discuss using the nunjucks templating engine, and nunjucks supports setting variables in the template. But there's no clear indication how I could set the environment variables using the response data (either manually, automatically, or using some hybrid by pre-defining buttons to set values).

I'll be interested to hear when you have some sort of chaining or environment variable setting in place.

Living in Sweden, so kinda care that the police would work a bit harder. But its a massive leap to take general statistics and extrapolate that to one of the most heinous crimes of all - rape. Hopefully the overstretched police are overlooking the drunks and focusing on the rape and murder cases?

What does hand over mean. Assange isn't wanted in America, and as far as I'm aware hasn't broken any US laws either. I'm sure you can find some quotes from blowhard politicians saying something mean about him, but that's not how the justice system works.

So what does hand over mean? And why would neutral Sweden be more likely to hand him over than closest ally, special relationship, NATO and 5 Eyes member Britain?

By what process could his guilt possibly be provable if he refuses to leave the embassy?
> there was some damning evidence, if true, supporting the case that it is a conspiracy

The evidence is an affidavit from Assange himself. Not many people would consider an affidavit from the accused "damming".
> Not guilty until proven?

There was no assumption of guilt in the parents post. There's an open accusation and it's absolutely normal that people get arrested for rape accusations. Rape is a serious crime and needs to be prosecuted.

The stay at the embassy is self-inflicted. Nobody but Assange chose to violate the conditions of his bail. Assange still is master of his own destiny and could end this at any point. He also enjoys a lot of freedoms that actual prisoners often do not enjoy, among them using the internet. Equating his self-chosen recluse with a prison sentence is unfair to all actual prisoners.
But Tesla's goal is exactly that: to make electric cars affordable and create the necessary infrastructure for them. And he does that by starting with the market segment where it's easiest to get started: high margin sports cars and luxury cars, and working his way down from there.

It'll be a while before his electric cars can really compete with cheap cars, but I'm sure he'll get there. He's making good progress.

Lithium is a common element. The difficulty is always that it is rather even distributed making it expensive to concentrate. It's the kind of thing that is solved simply by scaling up. It is in fact more abundant in the Earth's crust (17ppm) than lead (10ppm) and according to Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance_of_elements_in_Earth... 2012 production of lead was 5.2MT while lithium was 37kT.

The car-centricness of Apple Maps is also a problem in Japan.

People who only take it up at the beta stage are obviously inferior, and hence denigrated as "beta men". And then there's the detestable wimps who go only for 'stable' versions, I suppose they must be "omega men", not even worthy of a mention in discussions.

Pokemon Buddy System: Not All Candy Is Recorded
Assange is a nutjob who grew up in Australia during the cold war as a teenage hacker thinking the world was going to end. His paranoia and sense of dread lead him to picking the biggest fight in the world possible.

Potentially people have died because of what he did, but also the public has an amazing resource for understanding the larger powers at will in the world around them.

If I have to get armchair about the rapes, everything I've seen it seems like he got high with a couple chicks and had some sex. Deviant I guess because there were multiple. I don't think there is media reports of this, but I'm sure there was some trip or some x involved. He very could be a date rapist. Very possible.

I don't think this claim has ever been made, but he could potentially have drugged and raped two women that were not awake to give consent. It's also possible that he violently forced women to have sex with him.

I want those women to have a reckoning with Assange in a Swedish court. By proxy if need be, to protect them from their assailant.

However, there is a big problem with moving him to Sweden because they are an American ally and we aren't exactly treating Chelsea Manning in a way that I think is appropriate for the gravity of what is happening.

Assange is a person looking for a war to the death because that's what he was brought up expecting. That may or may not be the game that we are playing, but it is the way he sees the world. He has provided a service that potentially could save lives and enable us to have a better shot at a more informed future.

Chelsea, Edward, and Assange are martyrs and I'm fairly sure they've accepted it. If they move to the wrong court they might be shot on a boat and dumped in the ocean and we'll not get to have that dialog.

It's fucking tragic if those women were victimized. If this crazy game of chess with these eccentric techie chists isn't allowed to play out verbosely, we will all suffer for it.

The Swedish police have had the option to interview Assange in London for three years, all expenses paid. They have chosen instead to temporize and delay, and thereby leave the investigation without closure. Note that the Swedish police have conducted foreign interviews in the past, but for some reason seem intent on drawing out this particular process.
In most court systems, the defendant is not required to say anything. So (in theory) he can just be tried in absentia. He can even have lawyers representing him.

At least to me (but I'm not a lawyer), the current system violates european human rights. Either he is charged with a crime, in which case the court case should have started years ago (and ended), or he is not officially charged with a crime, in which case he should be free to go where ever he wants until he is charged. The current situation is absurd.
There is a difference between an arrest warrant (häktning) and accusation (misstänkt).
Why is this an incorrect result, or what else do you expect if you search for "butt"? Searching "butt", unless you meant "boat", implies the desired result to be that of a rear. The alternative would be to show zero results.

While my first computer was the TRS-80 COCO I, I spent more time coding on my second computer, the Apple IIe, coming home each afternoon after school to just program and play games constantly. I owe my current occupation to that, and my family and friends that benefit from my salary I all owe to those two computers.

I love the Apple II line along with the TRS-80 COCO line and my heart is full that there are those that continue to develop for them.

Oh wait, there is. But Assange has chosen to (illegally) run away from a valid investigation.

Don't see what good forking would do since AFAIK Leah Rowe is by far the biggest contributor to libreboot. I think the contribution of the GNU project was more in project infrastructure than actual code. I only see 3 - 4 people appear in the libreboot commit logs, and as long as they all agree with Leah's direction, a fork doesn't mean anything and is still born.

Also, there is no reason for the GNU project to fork libreboot since they can still use it as before. The beauty of free software.

> Most of Tesla's issues are with the name. Drivers assume this is a fully autonomous driving system.

You are jumping too short.

In my first year studying engineering, a professor told us "Expect misuse. If you're designing a radiator shaped such that people can sit on it, expect them to sit on it. I agree that it's a radiator and not a bench, but if you don't design for this kind of situation you are a terrible engineer."

Translated to Tesla's situation: It's absolutely not enough to tell people that they should behave a certain way, and expect them to follow. Design the system such that they either have no choice but to obey, or have safe mechanisms for disobedience.

Or don't deploy the system.

If you want an automotive example, think of how your automatic gear lever is locked in P unless you have your foot on the brake. Braking when changing gears isn't just an admonition in the manual, it's enforced.
>"Can art change the world?"

People, even those who should have an ostensibly "humanistic" outlook, have largely forgotten the possibility of any activity that is not subordinated to utilitarian concerns. The fact that this question was asked in the first place betrays a certain level of insecurity and even guilt over the way one chooses to spend one's time. It is not asked out of idle curiosity, it is not an honest question that will follow the arguments where they lead, rather it is a question for which an affirmative answer must be manufactured if one is not forthcoming.

Healthier questions include "how can we change the world so there is more time for art?", "why doesn't everyone understand how great art is?", etc.

This is the thing, the remote environment would be entirely under my control and I think the work-life balance would be fine.

The non-remote job would be more challenging work, probably a bit more corporate & rigid, but have a killer team to work with and learn from.

He put his real name and email address in the WHOIS entry for one of the domains. Anyone with an internet connection could've tracked him down.

The proof they collected by connecting the IP to Facebook is a bit more advanced (although not complicated if you have a court order), but it appears that he didn't take any measures to hide his identity.

I thought that using a (non-US based) VPN and fake data for domains is the least you'd do if you run a website that could cause trouble. And accepting bitcoins is nice but not anonymous if you register the wallet with the apple ID that you use everywhere else as well..

>What worked for PayPal but not the other companies and why?

Amusingly if you read chapter 1 of Founders at Work quite a big part of what worked at PayPal may have been firing Elon Musk. Max Levchin largely built PayPal tech wise using Unix and then it was merged with Musk's X.com and Musk became CEO and wanted to switch everything to Windows.

>Levchin: The three of us are pretty good friends now. At the time, already I had hated the guy's guts for forcing me to do Windows, and then, in the end, I was like,"You gotta go, man."My whole argument to him was, "We can't switch to Windows now. This fraud thing is most important to the company. You can't allow any additional changes. It's one of these things where you want to change one big thing at a time, and the fraud is a pretty big thing. So introducing a new platform or doing anything major—you just don't want to do it right now." That was sort of the trigger for a fairly substantial conflict that resulted in him leaving and Peter coming back and me taking over fraud.

Mmm, I dunno. If I search butt, I would expect an actual butt be the first result, not a fairly specific pornographic image. Google gives us a nice array of butts, and some are cartoon drawings, but it's just butts. Not butts being used in sexual acts, just a butt.

The fact that desktop Bing returns different results also suggests that this is not a correct - I'd expect the same results, or perhaps some NSFW removal since I'm guessing the device searches with the equivalent of Safe Search on since it has no idea on the user preferences.
