You're absolutely right, Assange should face his accusers in court. That's obvious. The problem is that Sweden and the UK are complicit in America's desire to seize Assange and put him in prison without even the possibility of a fair trial, and the first step in that process is his extradition to the US from either the UK or Sweden. That is what's interfering with the case and what Assange is fleeing from, not the rape allegation.

If the UK and Sweden were to agree that Assange wouldn't be extradited to the US I imagine he'd be on the next flight to Stockholm. It's the extradition order that's blocking these two women getting justice, not Assange himself.

Oh yeah, I forgot Apple Maps doesn't have bus stops here at all either. Google Maps only draws them when you're zoomed way in, but at least they're there.

Yeah, I'd rather focus on the victims of sexual assault than on the suspect trying to evade the law. What if it was your daughters/sisters/friends who were abused?

Sweden is not a "banana republic" or whatever you're trying to imply here.
Why not the whole bay in the plan?
This one was a real problem, but what gif am I looking for when I search for "huge". Huge what? Seems like Apple has blocked the "huge" for now, which only seems like a temporary workaround because there's nothing sexual about "huge" without being more specific.
They've asked to, multiple times. The Ecuadorian embassy won't let them.

"Last month, Ecuador’s prosecutor-general rejected a previous request from the Swedish prosecutor to question Assange in London. That office, in a letter to Swedish authorities, said it will interview Assange and asked for a list of questions the Swedish prosecutor wants the Ecuadorian prosecutor to ask the Wikileaks founder."

What extradition order?

The Swedes have asked the UK to extradite him to Sweden.

The US hasn't asked either the UK nor Sweden to extradite him to the US. Is there even a court case against him in the US?

The extradition to the US seems to be Assange's own narrative. Why didn't the US reach out to get him on the streets of London?
The fugue of life: why complexity matters in neuroscience
Are you saying that rape should not have any statute of limitations, that extradition should work worldwide and unconditionally, both, or neither?

Your response is full of defamatory conjecture and bizarre imagination. All we know is that two women have alleged that Assange failed to use a condom and/or intentionally tore a condom, and that the Swedish authorities have refused to pursue the investigation further by interviewing Assange in London. It's not very complicated.

You're talking past each other — other, more fundamental features used to require hacking OS X.

He is free to go wherever he wants until he is charged. It's just that if he goes outside the Ecuadorian embassy, he will be charged.
it's realy suck
Yes, and perhaps I missed the OP's point. I never said the spam I got did not get put in the spam folder.
You also have to understand the current political climate in Sweden. Assange's case is the ONLY rape that is disclosed/covered publicly.
The 3000% increase in rapes due to immigration forced the government to ban the reporting on rapes to prevent racism. That also includes internet censorship, including foreign news sites.
I read that the mid-west (not sure if that's the correct location) in north America had heavily depleted water tables because of irrigation. When that evaporates off, where does that water go? Is it destined to stay over North America or does it end up in the sea? Or rather does this cause an imbalance? Is it more likely to rain over land?
Additional information from two days ago: Ecuador says it will allow Swedish investigators to question Assange at the embassy on October 17 [0].

If Sweden is serious about this case, they should accept Ecuador's invitation. Not doing so will further fuel questions about whether this case is a ruse.

I wasn't suggesting complete NSFW removal, but I would imagine that pony porn should be pretty easily detected. And again, it just seems odd to me that Bing would return pony gifs over the multitude of human porn gifs.
probably copied the NT3.5 file manager and hacked it to work with win32s? that's probably easier than modifying the win3.11 binaries to hold file name buffers than what's needed for the 8.3 scheme.

(or maybe they binaries are actually pretty similar, so all it needed was a slight API change for file name lookup)

Reports at the keynote were saying they were not pairable with other devices. But it indeed seems they are.
Another issue with Docker: it does not interact well with process supervision (say systemd). The "docker run" process that you run with systemd is only a proxy for the real container process, which is started by the Docker daemon - so in reality, you have two init systems, Docker _and_ systemd. This means that many supervision features won't work (signals, seccomp, cgroups...).

rkt fixes this by not having a global daemon.

The linked article puts it well:

>It’s no big deal because iPhone 7’s most noteworthy upgrades are that it comes in black, is water resistant and no longer has a headphone jack. Nothing earth-shaking.

Yeah, who cares about the actual technology inside (e.g. a great new processor and graphics card, redesigned lens system, etc). It should have some new user visible gimmick -- perhaps a built-in yoyo that extends.

Also, funny how this signals that "the age of Apple is over".

I lived through the core of the "age of Apple", and all Apple did, and they did it brilliantly, was such small incremental updates. Way smaller in fact.

People cheered in Keynotes and obsessed in forums over small improvements over several generations of iPods. "Now it has USB", "Now it has a new scroll wheel design", "Now with a color screen", "Now it can also play videos" -- that went for 5 years.

The end result is what we have now: the iPhone 7. As mature as it comes, few more possible gimmicks to add, after you've added a great mobile camera, all kinds of sensors, wifi, 4G, touch sensor, water proofing, multi-touch, and all the other things it currently has.

Plus: "More impressively perhaps, the A10 Fusion processor is faster than every MacBook Air ever made, the only caveat to that statement being a multi-core result recorded for the early 2015 MacBook Air, which is powered by an Intel Core i7 and scores 5650, just edging the iPhone 7's result of 5630. Apple's latest flagship phone also performs comparably to an early 2013 MacBook Pro, powered by an Intel Core i5."
Not really.

A lot of people died doing things that way. A lot.
My response speculates a hyperbolic worst case scenario for him that he is a violent rapist and I agree that his victims need to have their day in court.

I am also trying to illustrate that the thing he is a part of and may be using as a fortification against prosecution from that assault, is an important issue as well. Potentially effecting many more people.

I don't have an answer for this, nor a dog in the fight. It's just a very fucking hard situation to make blanket statements about.
You're attacking strawmen. People are free to believe whether Sweden/Assange have ulterior motives, but either way the Swedish prosecutor has behaved improperly. For example see the UN report here: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?Ne...

That latter question may come down to the fact thay most 'art' that is paraded in popular media appears to be not a thing of beauty or introspection or anythin very much except for an overpriced in-joke designed to extract maximum amounts of cash from mysterious sources.

This may well be down to the media looking particularly for such things. It may be that what is lauded as the best of contemporary art is now so esoteric that appreciation of it only comes after years of immersion in it.

Or it might just be that people are philistines, or that most of it is actually shit.

Degree to which my life would be affected by losing my mobile's headphones jack - slightly above zero, courtesy of, well, owning Bluetooth headphones. To be fair, I'm sufficiently middle class that I can afford Bose QC35s, but still.

Degree to which my life would be affected if my apartment burnt down - uh, lots.

Now, there are plenty of other great reasons why I refuse to buy Apple products and stick with the platform that at least gives me some level of Software Freedom. Getting rid of the headphones jack? Doesn't rate particularly highly there.
Do you have a source for that number?
It's a bit of a stretch to claim Sweden is illegally detaining him in the embassy by virtue of demanding he leave the embassy.
They have only asked once, and prior to that they left the offer open for two years. The Ecuadorian prosecutor has every right to intercede in the matter, especially if he is uncertain of the security situation. Interviews by proxy have also been used by Swedish authorities in the past.
Best practice? Docker daemon access to equivalent to root access, so only allow it for root.
> The floppy drive died after a significant fraction of the users stopped relying on floppies. Similarly discs were made unpopular by streaming before the CD drive died.

My point was that Apple dropped all of those things while the "mainstream PC" industry was still shipping them as standard items.

> most new headphones sold still have a cable

cough

I'm a native Swedish citizen, Sweden is perhaps not a banana republic - but the number of pretty serious oversteps done by the Swedish government due to a mixture of incompetence and the will to please other powerful nations are to many to neglect.

Going on since the forced sterilization, German troop transports, extradition of baltic citizens to the soviet union and seizure of newspapers before publication in the days of the second world war .... continuing to today with the Da Costa case, the Egyptians kidnapped and sent to torture by the CIA with help of the Swedish government, the pediatrician accused of murder, the whole Thomas Quick embarrassment .... the list can be made rather long.

And there is obviously a great deal of pride and prestige put into this case by the attorney, who has not been exactly working their ass off to get the investigation going forward - even bending their own rules quite a bit with the obvious intention to inflict maximum discomfort to Julian Assange - and that makes me distrust their honesty and the entire basis for this case.
I had a quick look into the code base, and it is indeed targeting the DOM, rather than canvas or webgl. It has a sprite component which is just an absolutely position img element wrapped in a div.
That's crazy. And if it isn't political, they're surely making it hard to believe that this is the case.
Suppose that you're accused of a crime in North Korea and somehow you manage to escape the country.

Will you still respect what you said in the comment and return to NK to stand trial ?

Replace North Korea with Iran, Iraq, Syria or any other country known to be a corrupt or totalitarian state...

Aka at least half of all the countries in the world...

As a foreigner, you wouldn't trust the justice system in those countries and you would be right to try to avoid the trial.

So you see, the validity of what you said depends a lot on the context.

Even if the Swedish investigation and the trial is totally fair, it is not really the issue.

The issue is the extradition treaty with the US - Sweden will have to make a choice - Assange or good relations with the U.S.

And this is were the deadlock is. Go to Sweden and get unfairly convicted (low probability) or get extradited to the US and get life in prison (high probability). Or both.
Many countries don't have statutes of limitations. The UK certainly doesn't have a statute of limitation on rape (recent celebrity controversies passim).
Interesting, where's a good place to read up on this?
Why would you want to multiply by 1 or sum zero? You probably wouldn't need to do it, but computers and scripts aren't so smart as people and always follow code literally. For them is important a language having less irregularities and exceptional rules. If "" is a valid command and you have the syntax "time [COMMAND];", why not allow "time;"?

There is a popular comment somewhere in the internet (I would guess on quota, but not sure) about this subject.

It would depend on where the EULA was accepted and which country the developer is from. If it's the US, I bet the person with the deepest pockets would win in court (or settle). If it's in the EU, there are already a ton of patents about visually binding SQL - the biggest being Oracle.
I don't think that's true and your link doesn't support there even being any charges against him, let alone there being a plan to extradite.
I detailed some of these dirty things in an old (2011) blog post: https://shebang.ws/fast-window-switch-2-bash-tricks.html
Is because the cost of an CPU, within the server, And the cost of Server within the whole DC, and then the cost of Running the DC. In the grand scheme of things CPU cost is pretty small. Not to mention we are getting another round of CPU upgrade with Intel Broadwell-E. And then some price competition from AMD's Zen.

And Intel Xeon isn't just about the CPU, it is the enterprise grade QA and testing, Network Controller, SATA controller etc. And the Xeon-D is a very Decent offering.

Then there is scale, even though Apple's Cloud is huge, it is still no where near Amazon AWS scale, not Google and Microsoft Azure either. And even if you add all these three Cloud Giant Combined, I will bet their annual buying CPU core doesn't even come close to Apple's annual iPhone sales.

So to finalize, there just isn't any financial incentive of switching.
I'm not sure if you were implying otherwise or not, but: spatial metaphor file managers are not skeuomorphic. Skeuomorphism strictly encompasses non-functional interface elements, such as faux-leather stitching on Apple's old address book application. The spatial metaphor Finder in OS 9 was 100% functional.

The way it remembered all of the details (size, layout, position, display mode) of each window and the way each window had an unbreakable 1 to 1 connection to a folder made it a joy to use. It allowed the user to identify what window belonged to a folder at a glance and to be able to set up a whole workspace arrangement and have it be remembered automatically by the Finder.
Absolutely. With every release, it's getting more and more out of pocket.
> IPhone 7 backless rate: 100%

iPhone 7 included adapter rate: 100%.

If a phone blowing up is not something to be concerned with (ignoring all the Airlines and government departments telling people to turn them off while flying), then a removed audio port shouldn't even factor into your consciousness when you consider that they give you the adapter for free.

> Also, technology is not "ancient" just because it's 50 years old.

In the world of consumer electronics, 50 years is ancient.

At the end of the day the way the 3.5mm jack is used in 2016 is the ultimate hack-on-a-hack-on-a-hack. The plugs are all the same size, but they could have anywhere from 2 to 5 contact points, depending on device type/manufacturer.

It worked for a while, but at some point you have to move on, and someone has to be the first to move. As I said in another comment, Apple has always been ahead of the pack when it comes to adopting new technology and dropping legacy technology.

> Electric motor is over 180 years old, and that's not ancient. It's not ancient if it's used everywhere. If it's used everywhere, it's called modern

No, if its used everywhere its called "popular" or "ubiquitous".

An electric motor can be modern, if it's a new/recent design. That doesn't make all electric motors modern.
Not relevant, because he doesn't.

He refuses to go anywhere that makes him extraditable to the US. The Swedish, in turn, say roughly "our general rules are such that we can't guarantee that, and an exception isn't practically possible". Which makes sense, it's arguably better to have plain and simple rules than ones that cover every last edge case.

Personally, I think the Swedish should bend their laws. Globalisation is proceeding, and I think there'll be more country-straddling cases in the next century than there were in the past century. If that assumption is correct, writing rules to cover stances like Assange's is more reasonable than it has been.

I have actually written about this a lot as it is one of those topics that I am fascinated with. The trick is not to try and motivate yourself but to build systems and processes to get things done regardless.

For me, it boils down to 3 things. Pre-planning, habits and elimination. I have written about each separately on my blog http://www.new2code.com/2016/06/deep-work/

I plan a lot of stuff on my Google Calendar. My whole days are planned in advance including free time. When I am learning a new language, I set aside time for study. If a friend asks me to hang out, I can just check to see if I have prior commitments. I also have the regular gym slot and after 2+ years, I am simply routine when it comes to exercising.

Next, learn how to build habits and routines. This saves a ton brain power. There is a great video on habit building

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdKUJxjn-R8

Also, check out a book by Charles Duhigg called The Power of Habit.

Finally, cut out the news and as much information as possible. Not watching the news added a ton of happiness to my life. This also cuts out distractions. Check out something called the Low Information Diet which goes into more detail as well as a book called Deep Work by Cal Newport

I also wrote a guest post on the blog Simple Programmer that goes into more detail on the willpower.motivation side of things https://simpleprogrammer.com/2016/09/07/limited-willpower/

I hope that helps. Largely I don't believe in long-term motivation, it is more to do with becoming routine.

It might be to avoid errors for scripts like:

time ${cmd}; foo

where cmd happens to be unset. Conceptually, that's a valid script, because `time` standalone is a valid script. No reason it should generate an error.
