Many of forests in California are National Forest land controlled by the federal government. The Californian State Government is not able to go do prescribed burns in the National Forest. A lot of your beef should be with the National Forest Service.

Also, the recent drought is really exacerbating things. A lot of the trees in the forests are dead now and are just waiting to burn. Yes, we should remove some of this dead wood and thin the forests, but this will be a huge task given the large amount of forest.

As far as POAs and local laws... I am sure some of then are overreaching on things. But, some of them also protect areas from legitimate threats. Many people would gladly cut down all the trees on their property around Lake Tahoe so they can have an unobstructed view. Pretty soon we would have no trees around the lake and the landscape would be drastically changed. Some degree of protection is warranted in places.
Looks like wildfires get up to about 1,200°C when really hot.

> 5. Smart people sometimes see in-depth thinking and reflection as the solution to every problem.

This one really rang true for me when I was less experienced... yet for me, the solution isn't what they list.

For me it was to talk to people. Don't solve things too much on your own.

Spend at least as much time communicating as you do thinking, because it turns out 1) assumptions you'd never think to question turn out to be invalid all the time, and 2) other people suggest solutions you'd never come up with because they have a different thinking style and different experience.

Over-communicate even when it seems pointless, especially when it seems pointless, because other people will point things out where you never imagined.

Without any opinion the merits of this case in particular, which seems like a total mess all around and I haven't been following, on the topic more generally I found "Demystifying International Extradition" [1] last year to be an interesting summary of the process. It introduced me to concepts that don't really tend to come up in local law. Amongst other pertinent aspects is that while the US generally wants to avoid binding its own hands it can do so if another nation demands it when it comes to the penalties it will seek. Lots of countries (I think including England?) will not extradite if the death penalty is on the table, but the US can apparently legally assure that it won't seek it (for capital crimes).

Lot of political considerations and such in high profile cases I guess when it comes to agreements between nation-states. Everyone can be prickly about their prerogatives and who gets justice and what it means for relations and public opinion and so on. Nothing guaranteed about it.

I had one of these, and installed Linux on it (it came with Windows). But the hard drive was so noisy I couldn't stand to use it. That was the fatal flaw.
I'd also like to point out that, while I really value this community I dislike this tendency. Not agreeing with such comments is fine, but this isn't a personal attack so I don't understand why this style of conversation is treated this way. Sarcasm and sly humor are actually good and should be encouraged so long as it is relevant and not meant to hurt non-public figures. Overall this behavior comes off to me as understanding what is being conveyed but using the style of delivery as an excuse not to engage.
The emails were newsworthy, disliking what you consider their ulterior motive doesn't change that.

Honestly I think this is a good thing.

If I knew what I knew now, from my own relationship after being married for 20 years, and observation of friends, I would not have got married. People can drift apart. Situations change. Health problems get between you. What can remain is obligation and legal difficulty for a lot of people and nothing more. And in some countries, such as the UK where I live, this is a massive problem because the law is predatory and unfair towards one or both parties. This is an inescapable risk as well.

I am extremely lucky with the respect that we are extremely good friends, but we go our own ways now and cross paths to look after our children together and share our advantage of working together to go forwards in life.

We are still bound by law however which makes it difficult to be independent once tied if you need to be and is also a situation which is expensive and difficult to change.

And the only reason we got married was it was seen as the done thing and a lot of peer pressure from the last generation. I've learned to think about things as calculated risks and not take advice from my parents now.
how'd you learn the language? My wife and I are interested after a trip and competing a bit on the language. Immersion? or classes or what?

>to the government

Marriage has privledges it grants that you may find necessary when you least expect. Medical responsibility is one of them. You don't have a say in their medical treatment if they are unconscious or otherwise unable to make judgements.

I understand not wanting the religious part, and I understand reviewing the cons of marriage and rejecting it, but making it about the 'government knowing' is the least of the problem really.
What emails, specifically, were newsworthy?
Dunno about conspiracy theories but he's certainly a political enemy of the right wing nutjobs.
Most products are extremely complicated. Food and its effects are extraordinarily complicated, but general knowledge about what foods to eat to stay healthy diffuses through an emergent and bottom-up process, through channels like Wikipedia and word-of-mouth.

Cars are another extremely complicated product. Society has self-organized to create reputable sources of information on the quality of different models.

We don't need government restrictions and monopolization of spending to manage the complexity of the economy. Healthcare faces severe problems because of governemnt intervention, not despite of it.
I can honestly say developing in php feels great. Php removes the pain points. That's why it has a bad rap because it enables the novice to create and they make novice mistakes.

pgp email is basically deprecated by the security community. Security people do not use and do not recommend pgp email. TLS is used by everything, and a version of it will be used for a long time, for example everything that will use IETF QUIC or HTTP3+ on top of IETF QUIC.
I'm 22, not religious (escaped religion, actually), and I live with my partner. We're a bit over one year having lived together and I would say we're very happy.

We have both decided to not discuss marriage until we're 26. We both know that people change and we want to make sure we both have our independence and our early 20s.
> A whole ton of crap a Senior shouldn't be doing.

If you get promoted to be a manager there will be even more "crap" to do, since your primary job will be to make it possible for your team to get work done, not to write code yourself. You'll be doing exciting things like resolving disputes between your team members, writing performance reviews, interviewing job candidates, maybe deciding who's going to be laid off and...... listening to your employees ask you for promotions. (I was a manager for many years and then went back to being a developer.)
As long as there is not also a trend at companies to offer more remote jobs that unfortunately won't help too much.

I would appreciate it if both things become a trend.
>They have been to be a known tool for the Russian government

Known by whom? Its been over 2 years and there has still been absolutely no evidence released at all proving this. Claims made by the CIA, the US government or anyone else are proof of nothing, despite what you may think.

>even going as far as creating a show for Julian Assange on the state-backed RT TV Network.

Larry King has a show on RT too, is he an agent of the Russians also? The fact is that RT gives all sorts of people shows - especially people who make us look bad. What is really unfortunate is that so many of those shows are able to make us look bad without lying at all. They just have to give a platform to people (like Chris Hedges) willing to report on the many misdeeds we have, and continue, to commit.

The Russians are no angels and neither are we. The very heart of this case is about freedom of the press and free speech. If we let the government decide who is "legitimate" and who is allowed to publish then there is no "freedom of the press" at all.
"That makes Chimborazo the closest point on Earth to the stars."

That statement sold me. If I want to be on the top of any mountain now, it's that one.
For the same reason that if you found yourself with access to someone's diary that you thought might be guilty of wrongdoing, you might convince yourself to look through it possibly with a lawyer friend and report on if anything illegal went on, but you might shy away from publishing the whole thing online "just in case".

One option at least pays lip service to legal and ethical considerations.
That's really cool! I knew that it did sound canceling but I thought it was all software!
News organizations are under no (legal) obligation to not be biased. Bias does not make wikileaks not a news organization.
Again, nothing suggesting they are knowingly working with the Russians.

Wikileaks quality has surely dropped. They are still the press, and any prosecution by the US will be over things like the Manning links, a direct attack on the freedom of the press.

You're ultimately in control of the situation. If you explicitly tell them that under no circumstances do you want to take a drug to induce sleep, they're not going to force you to. You could just call it off if you can't sleep.

I've taken a sleep study before; they're not that weird, just a pile of sensors and a bed. And I also know from multiple people that if you do have any form of apnea, addressing it can have a life-changing impact.

But in actual fact, they are desperate. Property values are dropping, they can't attract people to live there because it's an exceptionally boring place to live.
I know we're collectively no fans of anecdata but I get a strong feeling that attitudes to typical work are changing, that jobs are making more people miserable. I get asked a lot by people seeking to do something different; I guess they're bombarded by successful side hustle stories and never by "I love my 9-5 day job, it's so rewarding" stories.
This has come up between the US and Canada. When the US seeks extradition for a capital crime, Canada nearly always asks for assurances that the US will not seek the death penalty.
You're not considering the right probability space. We have 3 measurements of X and 3 of Y. The question is the distribution on orderings of these six measurements. If X and Y come from the same distribution then all orderings are equally likely.
We had "real" bread for millennia. We didn't forget about it, we actively chose something new.

Kinda. Witness the reaction of people who've eaten nothing but grocery store white bread to a nice piece of artisan bread. Also, Paul Newman used to quip, "Why go out for hamburger, when you have steak at home?" The answer to that, is that it's far easier to package, prepare, and distribute the hamburger.

We also love soda. It's not like we forgot about tea, people just like soda more.

The same goes for soda. Also, to bring it back around to Paul Newman, I also chased around some women who were clearly bad for me in retrospect. What people want is different in different contexts, over different timescales, at different ages. What you really want might be a little different than what you'd choose when just being your "id." (Cookie Monster is just the id personified. I think of Cookie Monster, Ernie, and Bert as id, ego, and superego.)

I did this - after finding out what a sleep study and a new machine would cost, I just picked up a set from Craigslist, and the difference is like night and day. Described the symptoms to a psychologist and was basically told that yeah, it’s sleep apnea, but they can’t write the prescription until the study is done.

The only annoying bit is replacing the masks and headgear - they’re considered prescription medical devices, so you have to exploit a loophole in that they are only covered under the RX requirement when purchased as a set. So, I have to buy a mask on one order, and the headgear on another.

It’s a pain in the ass and I’m more than a little bit peeved that I have to beg for permission for this quality of life improvement.
That's an obviously absurd belief given he's in an embassy. The USA has done a lot of insane shit but that would be a ridiculous line to cross to eliminate a single "criminal."
I'd say the problem is lacking accreditation. It's bonkers a person given a CS degree is not understood to know CS well enough to render whiteboarding unnecessary.

For a medical doctor it suffices to gets one doctorate. I don't think hospitals will drill him on the core fundamentals of his craft similar to whiteboarding in cs. A patient arrives with a slight fever and a headache. Quick! Which lab tests would you assign him!
By doing this the US is coming to the aid of the many dictators and despots whose crimes Assange has helped reveal.

Also, by ignoring the crimes revealed by the Iraq and Afghanistan war logs, the US makes it very clear that war-making cronies rule both parties and would never hold each other accountable for anything.

To be clear, the war logs revealed that the US classified information solely because it revealed that the official narrative about why we were involved in those wars was false. Regardless of what one thinks about Assange, it's pretty hard to argue that the crimes revealed by the war logs aren't highly worrisome.

Regardless of how one feels about Assange, it's hard to deny that WL was the most successful attempt by any journalist to unmask the widespread US war crimes that we've seen in many decades.

My statement above may be too strong... so be it, but surely a court should have been able to decide the fate of the propagandists who misused their power to classify information from the American people. Instead the war criminals just attacked Assange and everyone else including most journalists do as they are asked and turned on a fellow journalist who was willing to sacrifice his freedom for the cause of truth.

> People like Assange aren't pawns of some dark and evil power

Citation needed. The rest of the world seems to agree that he was in fact a pawn to a "dark and evil power", as you put it.

Here's my citation:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/democracy-post/wp/2018/0...

"Assange behaved as an instrument of the Kremlin operation which, in an excruciatingly close election, may have made just enough of a difference to secure Trump’s victory."

...

"Mueller’s investigators have recently questioned at least five witnesses about Assange’s role in the 2016 campaign."

> that the main reason why trump is president is because someone broke some rules.

The evidence shows this pretty clearly. Also, "broke some rules" is a pretty silly way to describe the literal murders that have taken place re: Russia and the election. It's also an obviously biased way to describe the incredible scale and power of electoral propaganda along with bribes and hacked voting systems.
In an ideal world, this wouldn't be a bad thing. A trial would force the government to finally show us proof that Wikileaks was working for the Russians and they conspired criminally to hack US networks.

Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world, and you should be absolutely certain that any "trial" Assange gets will be a kangaroo court where he is convicted on "secret" evidence that we won't be able to independently view or scrutinize due to "national security concerns". What's worse is people will point to Assange's conviction in this show trial as proof of all of evidence-free accusations the spy agencies and US government have been hurling around for the last 2+ years.
An indictment is not proof for a start, this is a fundamental part of the US justice system.

That indictment does not actually mention Wikileaks at all, let alone suggest that Wikileaks knew the source was the Russian government.
