You misunderstood. We want any person, women and young girls included, to be able to pursue a career path, if they have even the faintest desire of it, without self-censorship, negative remarks, feeling out of place, their vocation and/or skills being continuously challenged randomly, or having to cope with various forms of harassment.
If you build an environment that allow that, women presence in the field surge.
And then you see retrospectively that many women wanted to try this field, but it was really the field that didn’t want women to try.
Because, as you will probably agree, desire for a career is not natural destiny, it’s the result of many factors including avoiding being hurt.
The state prosecutor accused him of being a rapist. The alleged victim didn't accuse him of anything and only went to the police in an attempt to contact him to tell him to be tested for STDs since the condom broke. The state prosecutor found a way to twist that into a rape charge under Sweden's laws, even though the purported victim disagreed. Those charges were later dropped.

The only "crime" he committed was refusing to cooperate and fleeing the country, since he saw this only as a pretext to get him in custody for US extradition, which objectively was the case (the US wasn't hiding its attempts to get him extradited).
failing to surrender to the court.

Bit like how in the US resisting arrest is a crime itself even if there was no legal grounds for the attempted arrest.
I can't believe that "have you ever been on a train" is a real question.

Depending on the route, I could see those numbers being reversed in the UK and Europe; intercity trains are fast but pricey, even allowing for the much higher fossil fuel taxes.

Commuter trains are a similar story; while it's expensive and unpleasant to commute into central London by train, doing it by car will be even slower, incur the congestion charge, and there's nowhere to park.

You are misrepresenting the article or may not understand the finer details here. One example: Ny says they "Sweden did not expect Ecuador's co-operation in formally notifying Mr Assange of the allegations against him", yet that makes it clear that Sweden has not attempted to formally notifying Mr Assange.

Maybe slightly off topic but the word "quest" implies (to me at least) something long term and ongoing, and yet "urgent" seems to contradict this. If anything, "urgent quest" seems like an oxymoron.

I guess in this day and age of instant gratification, even our quests need to be urgent.
Clinical depression is real, and not "sadness and sorrow". I know first-hand. Medication has drastically improved my physical health, and my mental health improved soon after, as I was no longer bedridden after 5+ years. Antidepressants are definitely overprescribed though, and the "low serotonin" marketing was debunked before the first antidepressant even hit the market.

A minor, but still significant, area of research to great public transport adoption is the last mile problem. Bicycles, scooters, Segways, OneWheel... hoverboards?

If there was a sci-fi hoverboard that could be used in rain/snow to easily connect to the nearest public transit node, and easily carried until disembarkation, then car use would decline.

On a different tangent, I am curious about societies where motorcycles are a significant fraction of private transportation. What's their outlook on self-driving cars?

I don't get why this was downvoted, except perhaps out of a silly emotional reaction. You just summed up the essence of what a large percentage of the whole comment thread for this link explains in detail in different ways. Many rich people got rich by creating growing value for others with their capital assets and they continue to do so by doing more of the same. What they "hoard" is being deployed in the economy in crucially productive ways that benefit thousands or even millions of others. Not all cases but plenty of them fit this profile among the extremely rich.
I posted a comment 10 minutes ago and it got immediately downvoted into oblivion. Could you guys please tell me why it is such a bad question to ask? Thank you! Here it is:

Does it really count as an image of a black hole? Since no light is reflected by the black hole, all we see is light bend by the gravity of the black hole.

Extraterritoriality of embassies is a myth. Assange was in the UK when he was in the Ecuadorian embassy. However, the UK authorities could not have removed him from the embassy without violating the Vienna Convention.
In the Afghan War Documents leak, Julian Assange refused to redact the names of Afghans who informed on the Taliban. He referred to them as “spies and traitors” in comments to the media. A reporter for the Guardian claims he said, “Well, they're informants. So, if they get killed, they've got it coming to them. They deserve it.”

Nasty way to diss on fellow leakers, in my opinion. I wonder if Mr. Assange feels he himself deserves what’s now coming to him.

Let's just say the UK taxpayer is paying to keep a "special relationship". Whatever the real value of that is to citizens will remain a mystery.
There is no obvious threat of persecution. Facing rape charges certainly doesn't qualify.
Skipping bail.
Indeed. More easily because the US/UK extradition agreement only requires each country's courts to apply the same tests as they use domestically to allow an arrest. In the US that test is called probable cause, in the UK it's called reasonable suspicion.

(Some people at the time felt that this was not fair as the US test is arguably a tougher one but arguably that just reflects the country's domestic arrest policies being different. In any case, the UK refuses far more US extradition requests than vice versa. If you want to read 400 pages on this, the Baker Extradition review which also covers the European Arrest Warrant and the Prima Facie test is available online.)
I agree. There are good reasons why prisons have exercise yards. 7 years in a room is very brutal on a human body.
Why is it not acceptable to stand on a bus? It increases capacity hugely and if you're only going a few stops it makes perfect sense.

He hasn't been arrested for seeking asylum.

He's been arrested for jumping bail. He was on bail facing extradition for rape and sexual molestation charges. He sought asylum the moment he knew he would have to face those charges.

So you're correct. Seeking asylum isn't the same as being above the law. It's the same as avoiding being subject to the law. I can't say I see the distinction as being especially material.
That’s great to hear. Feel free to sign up. Open to any questions or feedback.
I honestly don't like that what is alleged he did is referred to as rape as that implies violence to me.

He is alleged to have had consensual sex with somebody, but without her knowledge removed the condom, which she only noticed later. While this is a consent issue and should be criminal, it's not the same as what I would think of when I hear "rape".

Also, the charges, had been dropped and he was free to leave Sweden, then the case was reopened for no apparent legal reason, and eventually the charges have been dropped again.

So, to claim he is wanted for "rape" is just false. He isn't wanted for any crime except skipping bail and possibly contempt of court.

Now he is UK custody, there is speculation that the US will bring charges and a warrant for his arrest regarding espionage and whatever else they can muster, as was kind of confirmed when the one DA accidentally leaked the secret grand jury investigation against Assange in an unrelated filing.
I must admit that i've only looked at sample exams rather than actually having taken one but I have to say that I agree with you.

I think Microsoft's exams are changing to be less of a multiple choice guessing game but the Red Hat seem to be the gold standard for certifications. (Speaking from a limited POV)
Assange is a flawed personality. That said, over the years there was a transformation. People defended him despite his issues when his whistleblower endeavors aligned. Once they no longer aligned, many many of his supporters turned around and called out his peccadilloes and transgressions.

People still defend Snowden but if he ever releases information seen as politically damaging to one side, all that adulation is out the window.

That’s to say all this support isn’t actually principled support but rather political.

Don't worry no such thing exists, it's all conspiracy theories as they said for years...

I'm no expert in Swedish law, I trust their legal system, and the legal system in the UK to respond to the demands of the EAW

> and unlike Snowden, I don't think Assange has broken any US laws for which he can be extradited;

If he could, the U.S. could have just as easily extradited him from the UK
> It's simply not acceptable to have to stand on a bus.

you need bus fares to cost less than car travel or people'd just drive everywhere and car ownership/congestion comes with it's own set of issues.

it's annoying but having enough capacity to handle peak hours would also see lot more buses parked off hours, lot more technicians doing maintenance.

given the seated:standing capacity on current models, you'd end up with twice to thrice the buses to seat everyone.

now this wouldn't immediately mean to have triple the fares, but it'd be a significant factor and limit/reduce total bus usage, and there's no indication the consequences for society would actually be net positive compared to standing.
I don't think OP is taking a position either way on whether Assange was guilty or not. It's that regardless of the outcome of the rape allegations against him in Sweden, we learned more about the shady goings on in our government due to the drops that were leaked to Wikileaks.
Suicide can be the best option sometimes, but you're absolutely wrong to say clinical depression doesn't exist.

He was before he ran to the embassy, skipping bail, on the pretext that if the UK extradited him to Sweden, Sweden would extradite him to the U.S.

That's an invalid pretext.
And I can't understand how so many people stay loyal to a guy who just wasted seven years of his life in a self-imposed prison with absolutely no upside except delaying whatever awaits him now.

Or how many will, when given a choice between:

(a) a wild conspiracies theories about a totally-average Swedish woman being paid by the CIA to make up some not even that damning rape charges, then asks him for an $20/5min STD test in exchange for dropping the charges, knowing too well that Assange will be stupid enough to refuse, so as to enable execution of a convoluted three-country extradition plan when they could just as well wait for Assange to travel to whatever country has the extradition treaty they liked best

or (b): guy with a history of being egotistical, who rarely managed to work with anybody, and who has a history of ignoring the house rules on hygiene (cf cat) thought nothing of discreetly trying again without a condom

...choose the former for no reason but political or personal sympathy.
Most countries don't even fix pot holes in their capitals, I don't see them rebuilding their entire road infrastructure for autonomous cars.
If that's true then the hype about tech companies being literally Hitler is pretty much right. That's fucking insane.

Really depends on the distance and the rides harshness, that's why we have buses and carriages filled with people who didn't take a car anyway.

Definitely not ideal but we can't optimize just for one thing. Putting more busses on demand has really hard scaling problems because of these busses don't appear and disappear like a virtual machine, it needs to be stored somewhere and delivered to the location where that bus is needed. Then you have load-unload problems. This is also why cars that are just like the cars of today but electrical and automatical won't scale too.

You can't really divorce the design of the inhabited areas and the transport systems. This is also probably the reason why the Americans seem so hostile towards public transport. In Europe and even in Asia public transport works fine and the most annoying thing about cars is not that you have to drive them but you have to put them somewhere when you reach your destination.
> Tesla is one of the biggest over estimators

Tesla promised that the current hardware the cars come with is all it's needed to implement autonomous driving at some point in the future, which is currently an unknown unknown. if that doesn't scream of snake oil, I don't know what does.
I have taken a train from Berlin to Saarbrücken, approx an eight hour drive. On a good day it's a 6:30h train ride. For Berlin-Munich it's seven hours in a car or 4:30 in a train. For Tokyo-Kyoto it's six hours by car or 2:30 by train.
So this obviously doesn't solve the initial-connection issue (where it relies on untrusted DNS for discovery... if only we had DNSSEC).

But for later connections, it is essentially defining a caching of:

- a boolean flag that a trusted certificate is to be used

- a flag whether violations are to be reported to an endpoint obtained from untrusted DNS

- a maximum age of this "policy"

how is it superior to:

- just querying / dumping this policy as informational headers after STARTTLS (possibly guarded by a new EHLO feature)

- TLS TACK (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-perrin-tls-tack-00), which is kind of abandoned, but is an equivalent to HSTS, just at the correct layer

and how does it solve the problem that even if you have a policy defined, a MitM attacker can just redirect all policy reports with a very-long-lived _smtp._tls.example.com DNS record pointing to their own property or to nowhere?
True, but there's also the logistics around getting their goods from a factory to a train. The assumption around automated deliveries would be that the entire chain is automated - from creation to lorry to destination.
To add some more context... of the 850k lines, 500k lines are mostly models and machine generated code. Andrew is definitely smart (smarter than an average HN user) and his code is very important but I have never seen so much display of misogyny and sexism against a woman scientist.

And what do you do about accessibility? Working with jQuery makes sure you have a baseline default that's always accessible. Also, jQuery is not backed by a terrible organization with a questionable record, even evil intent.

I love jQuery and will switch for vanilla JS only when it's okay to do so, like when support on old browsers isn't that much of a priority.

I totally agree, and they can take care of the last mile problem for trains at both ends, making trains more practical.

And GP said, "If the solution is flawed even a little bit, people will die." Well, yes, and if humans drive, people will die.

If the flawed machines reach the point where they are provably statistically better than the flawed people who currently drive, lawsuits claiming that people who choose to drive and get in accidents are negligent will cause insurance companies to jack up the rates on "self-drivers".

That's where the state-change sigmoid curve will suddenly turn upward.

Also, wishing for a blanket increase in total number of busses by some huge percentage to avoid anyone standing probably sounds like a real nice plan until you have to pay for it... Capacity management isn't as easy as throwing drivers and busses at the problem.
> just monitoring the system in case something goes wrong increases the likelihood of accident significantly.

That depends on the rate of system failure. I used an early form of autopilot and you quickly started to pay attention to where the system would fail. It was like cruse control where you look for situations where you can turn it on but never stop paying attention.

At the other end with really safe systems they are going to default to safer than a human driver. So, there might be a significantly deadlier middle ground, but no company has deployed anything like that yet.

You should assume by now that agenda pushers are covering most places on the internet that have some influence over the public. I truly hope somewhere in the future people will look on these people as heroes of journalism and protectors of public knowledge.

"He skipped bail so he should be arrested". No one can seriously be this dead in the brain... Staying in the UK which is a bitch state of the US who wants him gone was equal to life in prison or worse which he of course knew.

The Swedish rape allegations were an obvious sham and have already been dropped years ago. Usually when this happens the case is just dropped, yet the UK really pressed in arresting Assange for "failing to appear in court", which is most countries is a minor thing (the accused is not punished for lying in court or missing court dates). I think it's obvious that any excuse will do for extraditing him to the US, to make an example of him. But so much time has passed and the case is so public now that I at least hope the UK will save face and free him instead of extraditing him.
