The case on Snowden isn't that clear, either. I do believe he did something good for the world overall. I'm not entirely convinced he hasn't been working for the Russians at some time before or after the original leaking.

well, well... there is a lot of speculation and not a lot of facts in what you say, so far.
I think it's pretty clear wikileaks has been used in a partisan manner in the 2016 presidential elections. I don't believe most serious journalists would have published most of Podesta's emails, if any. Especially considering the probable sources.
You /may/ be right, I don't think that current laws were written with that in mind, but the laws could be munged to encompass the relationship.

I suppose then the anti trust argument would be that they are able to 'ask' for too much private data.
It seems to me a first step would be gaining price transparency. Who is the cheapest (asks for the less data).

Actually if your theory holds water, isn't there scope to argue that the consideration (your data) isn't properly defined in the contract, and keeps changing (via defaults, and technological progress). Could then this not then be dealt with via contract law and consumer protections?
One big issue with your conclusion - there is no context. What alternative destinations would you propose? Any US whistle blowers or leakers that manage to gain the ire of the US government itself need to seek refuge in an area that will not bend to US pressure. Given the remarkable scale of influence of the US today that leaves very few places, and even fewer that can provide a comfortable life. Among the top there would be Russia and China.

Should Buzzfeed journalists be prosecuted for publishing the dossier about golden shower, at least parts of which have been proven to be false? As far as I know, there is nothing wrong with publishing information in partisan manner. Has anything Wikileaks published been proven to be doctored or edited in any way? I am under the impression not even DNC is disputing authenticity of the emails.
The government filed a motion to seal a criminal complaint in the Eastern District of Virginia. [1] Such a motion, according to Local Rule 49B in this district [2] lays forth that such a motion shall include

(1) A statement as to why sealing is necessary, and why another procedure will not suffice;

(2) References to governing case law; and

(3) A statement as to the period of time the government seeks to have the matter maintained
under seal and as to how the matter is to be handled upon unsealing.

The slip-up happened in the third condition: the period of time the government seeks to have the matter maintained under seal. In the motion, paragraph 5, they argue it "would need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint", which implies that, at the least, the government has prepared an indictment against Julian Assange.

Could they have filed this motion without referencing Assange? Possibly - if another suspect is sought in connection. If they could have referenced another sealed criminal complaint? That I don't know, frankly.

Big-endian arm is pretty rare -- it's basically a niche requirement for markets like embedded network hardware where there is a lot of pre-existing code that assumes big-endian because it used to be run on m68k or mips. Most network protocols are big-endian on the wire, so on a BE host if you forget a htons() or ntohs() call it all still works; auditing a legacy codebase for that kind of bug in order to port it to a LE host is painful. But any general-purpose-ish Arm system (intended for running Linux or Android or Windows) will be LE.

Fun fact: the optimized string library for the original ARM1176 raspberry pi had a bonkers implementation of memcmp() which used the SETEND insn to temporarily switch to bigendian, because on that core setend is only 1 cycle and it saved an insn or two later. (On newer cores setend is a lot more expensive and the trick doesn't work.)

Even if I get up to go to the bathroom, refill my water, and get another cup of coffee 4 times a day, the point is still valid. If there is no coffee provided by the company that means I either 1) go without, or 2) have to venture out of the office to find it.

In many areas leaving the office for just about anything means taking the elevator downstairs, walking through a sprawling parking lot, making a 10 minute drive to the nearest Starbucks, spending 5 minutes in the drive thru, and then reversing the whole process. I could probably justify that once a day, but upwards of 30 minutes per trip is going to be a really hard sell any more than that.

Even as a freelancer who has no one looking over my shoulder and who works from home I'm simply not going to do that - I bought a coffee maker. Take that to the far opposite extreme and consider the call center employees who have hard stats for their productivity every day and have scheduled breaks... there's simply no way they _could_ do it, even if they wanted to.

So yeah, maybe it's an indicator for _some jobs_ of a poor work quality, but that was the entire point - it's a cheap and easy way to improve that work quality.

From the description I see on net this is indeed true, with big IF - you already have prior acclimatization to 5000m+. Without it, its almost impossible to make it to the top and back at that altitude, unless you have some super genes. And descriptions mention still 10 hours of hiking and altitude difference of some 1300m.

Even though the air around equator is thicker, you would most probably already feel very bad at the carpark at 4800m, if you would come up straight from the capital. I'd say some 5-7day acclimatization prior to this should be enough for most fit people.

Bullshit. I have found many bugs writing unit tests to a legacy code (afterwards). I have cleaned up incredibly messy spaghetti code by writing unit tests (which forced me to clean it up). I have made the code understandable by writing unit tests (both by means of "test as a documentation" and by means of "clean the code so that it is testable, make it modular and made of small units").

And btw, "easy to unit test" actually leads to "simple". That's the point of TDD.

From the article:

> But Cheng asked that scientists worldwide don’t just allow the machine to be built and use it without exercising their political power to help address the country’s issues. “International scientists have leverage and power,” that they can wield without being complicit. She also said that Chinese scientists should be more aware about their potential complicity.
In the "Collateral Murder" era, Assange seemed to be nothing more than a whistleblowing journalist with good intentions.

At this point though, it's very clear that Assange is a partisaned actor with a very clear and very biased agenda (the fall of America). Whether or not you agree with that agenda does not change the fact that it is anything but impartial and he can't be trusted to deliver fair or balanced reporting.
The motion itself [1] has zero reference to the Mueller investigation. It is in fact about Title 18 U.S.C. Section 2242b, which is states that

"Whoever [...] knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 10 years or for life."

The defendant in this case is not Assange, but obviously someone who has some sort of connection with Assange in this matter, as stated in paragraph 5 of the motion. Could it be that it is something just the get him and then slap some additional charges onto him? Sure. But this motion does not tell us that.

It's basic marketing. Draw in the followers under false pretense, then all you have to do is worry about maintaining them which is much easier than bringing them in under honest terms.

This can be seen in politics as well. How often do electees follow what they were promising constituents while in the running. Then they'll do the same thing again and make a big fuss for the week or 2 prior to reelection, then go back to business as normal.

Likewise with products. Get the customer to come into the store, visit your website, or call a number. Then by the time they see it, or in some cases have already made a purchase, and find out thing aren't as advertised it's either already too late with s purchase made or they've "come too far" and the shortfalls are close enough to where they shrug and purchase anyways.
Where I work we have a simple policy: Any trip to a coffee shop for multiple staff members is a business expense.

The reason is to get people talking to each other across projects. The drop in productivity from going out for a coffee is more than offset by the benefits of cross-fertilization.

A lot of people don't realize wikileaks had tons of dumps on Russia and conservative US politicians and refuse to accept the information in the progressive leaks due to supposed Russian or conservative involvement.

Also as far as I know people don't realize anything wikileaks ever released has been refuted or proven false. There are google DKIM keys on all the legally and morally incriminating emails.

Which is arguably more reliable than "official" data.
I remember when Wikileaks came out and Assange was cool; how they were the first (at least for a wide audience) to do secure drops for whistleblowers.

Funny thing; I can’t seem to place when things changed for Wikileaks. The rape case in Sweden maybe or the manning leaks.

Now they appear to be outright operates for the Russian state.

Everest dominates Mauna Kea in prominence. In fact, Everest dominates any peak on Earth in prominence, since it's the tallest peak. By the mathematical definition of prominence, the dry prominence of Everest is always measured from the deepest point on Earth, the Challenger Deep.

If you dug a moat around Mauna Kea, it would indeed increase its prominence, but would not affect the prominence of Everest. Until you dug the moat deeper than the Challenger Deep (about -11,000 m), at which point the dry prominence of Everest would start to be measured from the bottom of your moat and not Challenger Deep. At this point, digging the moat any deeper would increase the prominence of both Everest and Kea by equal amount, but Everest as the higher mountain would nevertheless always dominate Kea.
I wonder if they thought that explicitly.

> hanging out with some dodgy characters (including the one mentioned in the article)

A publisher talks with their source and get indicted as accomplice in a plot to destabilise the US. This very much a free press issue and is not the first time nor the last time it will happen.

Watergate happened because Woodward and Bernstein was hanging out with the dodgy character Deep Throat. Daniel Ellsberg discussed the release of stolen documents and the timing of those releases with Organization X. Indictments there would had very real free press or free speech implications, and thankfully we remember history as not destroying the free press those times.

Assange even got an Amnesty International award for leaking information then. He was a hero back then but suddenly when the shoe is on the other foot, he's a villain.
I'm nitpicking, but there is not even a chance that this could be "science" with any coherent definitions of science and future. For example there is Karl Poppers falsification standard. Future is never falsifiable as long as it remains in the future.

Another approach would be this: Future is impossible to research, as you can only research entities that exist or phenomena that is happening. Future entities and future phenomena do not exist yet ( by definition ) so you cannot research them. -> no science of future.

What we are talking here is scientific prediction. "Scientific" is just another word for good and only means something when compared to another method of prediction that can be shown to be worse.

So we very much agree. I just wanted to write this out because the Future studies crowd has bothered me for some time now.
