re: 3 - He was just arrested on a US extraditon request and nothing to do with the Swedish charges. In fact the swedes are a little upset as they want him extradited there.

So not really the victim of a conspiracy, he feared it and he was right to fear it.
Five degrees? I count two.

Edit: That's three edges between her and the CIA, and frankly Ardin to Seltzer is one, making the count two. One to Seltzer, one to the CIA.

If "reportedly" doesn't cut it for you, then you must think the CIA is the world's most incompetent intelligence agency because they evidently have connections to nobody at all!

A bit more involved than that. They or one of them had agreed to sex with the use of a condom, and realized at one point, possibly waking up, that he was not using a condom, which could be argued to be non-consensual.

There are oil refineries that are decades old and still generate plenty of cash for their owners (granted, they need maintenance investments, but the bulk of the investment is certainly at the beginning), the same goes for cargo ships etc...

And MSFT wasn't in a very healthy situation just a few years ago. I have of course generalised and things are never clear-cut: servicing the high debt used to finance initial capital is also quite risky.
They have some advantage in drivetrain technology. Their switched-reluctance permanent magnet technology is probably at least a couple of years ahead of the competition.

Compare the efficiency of their vehicles (especially the Model 3), to something like the I-Pace or e-tron.

But Tesla’s real advantage lies in it’s software, it’s autopilot, it’s economies of scale in battery production, and it’s supercharger network. Competitors will eventually catch up with all this stuff, but it won’t happen overnight.

Sounds like Assange wasn't that wrong?
breaching bail is not a crime, he either has to be released on the same bail conditions or charged with a crime. However the US have now requested his extradition now that he is in custody.
I was responding to OP's claim that Assange was not "in the UK" when he was in the embassy. That's false on any reasonable understanding of those words. It would only be true if embassies were in fact foreign soil.

I'm not sure this is bad news for Tesla, I'd say it's mostly bad news for the rest of us.

Tesla has reached enough scale to be more or less sustainable (in the sense that they don't need to be posting losses anymore), and I'd imagine they can continue to grow, if more slowly, without the rapid expansion of battery production capacity that this story is about.

But the great aim behind the gigafactory (at least, how I read it) was to drive battery cost down very aggressively, that is, working on the supply-side economics. This would then make EVs (not just Teslas) accessible to more people sooner, without all the subsidies (which have been a demand-side hack that didn't even work very well). If this means a slower clean transition (and I think it does) that's a sad outcome.

Siri isn't very strong, it can answer (very) basic questions and resorts to web searches when it can't answer. I find it occasionally mishearing me or completely parsing my question incorrectly. I recall a particularly bad one: "set a timer for 3 minutes and 15 seconds" and somehow it interpreted it as an arithmetic question "the answer is 18."

Alexa and particularly Google Assistant are much better, the latter retaining context between questions e.g: "who is the 44th president of the US" followed by "who is his wife?" is a neat trick.
It is a fact that for years they refused to interview him at the embassy. They also refused to guarantee not to give him up to U.S. authorities if he were to go to Sweden, which makes me a little suspicious of the charges, given that the UK just confirmed they arrested him on behalf of the U.S.

I've met someone with the mindset that AI is a fad and that what have it done so far? I disagree, it may be over hype but I see that person using Siri. I use Hello Google and I consider that to be NLP not the traditional statistic NLP but the deep learning NLP kind.

Also those website translator such as google translator and old school babel translate helped me a lot when I was trying to search for things that were in Japanese. There were a few famous Korean and Chinese novels that are machine translated and it's decent enough to read if you're really into that novel and willing to ignore the quality.
"Nation state wants to destroy reputation of someone they claim is doing massive damage to them. Intelligence agency sanctions some character assassination, efforts to frame him for a crime."

If this is the best the CIA can muster, I don't feel outrage so much as profound sadness at the waste of our resources (leaving aside, for the sake of example, related moral or ethical questions, and merely talking abilities and logistics).

Well, that's some nice arguments about the Sweden case you are bringing up. We will see very soon if Sweden will want to extradite him validating your theory or if we will end up extradited in the US instead (spoiler: it will be the second option).
Being a citizen is not relevant to whether it's an extradition. "Extradition is an act where one jurisdiction delivers a person accused or convicted of committing a crime in another jurisdiction". The Ecuadorian embassy doesn't have its own jurisdiction.
Indeed, "to the US"

I don't know what he was thinking? Maybe he had memories of Pinochet not being extradited from the UK? Maybe he had memories of the Swedes doing the bidding of the US re:thepiratebay?

From your link:

Guardian journalist, David Leigh, claimed that Julian Assange initially refused to redact the names of informants.[62] In his book, co-authored with Luke Harding, WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy, Leigh claimed Assange to have said in relation to whether the names should be redacted, "Well, they're informants. So, if they get killed, they've got it coming to them. They deserve it."[63] In response to the book's publication, WikiLeaks posted on Twitter: "The Guardian book serialization contains malicious libels. We will be taking action."[64] When Douglas Murray relayed these comments in a debate, Assange interjected "We are in the process of suing The Guardian in relation to that comment."[65] The Guardian claimed the following day that they had 'not received any notification of such action from WikiLeaks or its lawyers', two months after the publication of the book.[66]

So what you report is a claim that Assang himself has strongly denied.

> Something like that wouldn't fly in Germany for example.

I'd not want to rely on that if it touches something "important"/secretive. Minor issues that can be clearly blamed on a single person are easier to admit and follow up on than things that would have widespread impact.
I subscribed to the Correspondent based on the proposition of in depth quality journalism until it decayed into long form leftist outcry and nothing else. I wonder if this type of decay is inevitable.
HN seems to be pretty good, actually, they seem to understand that Assange has been the target of a propaganda campaign. On reddit or anywhere else I'd agree with you.
I can not believe you have written the last sentence without any sense of irony. We are just discussing about how stupid the LOC metric is and how most of the LOC Andrew write were machine generated. People were also saying that her commits were more math heavy. Anyway if you actually believe that there is a secret feminist agenda, I don’t think I can say anything that will change your mind.
> From my reading anyway, Assange crossed a line, perhaps not realising that what he was doing

To me, this points to the fact that there are likely many transgressions of all kinds that each person in the civilized world commits. Those are unlikely to lead to anything beyond an occasional minor fine, but the government prosecutors can use those as ammunition for future cases totally unrelated to original offense. This is not how we want the law to work. My 2c.

They framed it as merely revoking his asylum at which point the UK arrested him. You cannot revoke asylum of your own citizens. Foreign nationals seek asylum.

There are quite a few legal differences between extraditing somebody and just letting an arrest happen.
Even an American citizen couldn't be convicted of treason for what he is accused of doing. In America, treason has a very narrow definition. Other sort of espionage charges are another story.

The “sewing machine” for minimally invasive neural recording
You are totally right with respect to the fact that it isn't aboveboard, but one of the biggest problems with our legal system is that you need money to protect your money. Other wise you'll go bankrupt while their attorneys file delay motions causing you to have to pay your attorney more and more.

I was the CTO of a company and built its entire infrastructure for 4% of the business. One day I came into work and the CEO(and majority owner) tells me to put aside everything and start work on a totally separate project. Oh, yeah and the company name is now different. The new project that I'm assigned is much more intensive in terms of volume and uptime requirements and came with no rewards.

So I start building the company in good faith with no real contract in place with the new company with the expectation that we would negotiate while I developed so as to not cause delays. This was a naive decision. Always get the contract first because as soon as real money starts flowing in everyone starts grabbing theirs. Prior friends or acquaintances also get preferential treatment which is how I ended up with the VP of marketing taking assignments from me and yet somehow being given 9x as much equity.

Eventually, after the system was stable and I felt confident in my work quality I asked to negotiate my contract. I was instead let go. The joke was on them though, I revoked their access to the repository and told them to show me the contract that says the software is theirs.

That's the point where you should backtrack.

Since this is a blog post it may not be kosher copacetic on all the details. But if you're studying from books and papers all the notation will either be way too well-known (set theory, cartesian products, R^d vector spaces, lp/Lp norms) or explicitly explained.

If you're behind or fuzzy on the more basic stuff (what's an equivalence class? What's a Cartesian product?) I recommend the first two chapters in Munkres' book of topology. The book builds pretty far out into uncharted territory, but its recap of the basics is rigorous and superbly explained with copious illuminating prose.
Assange is in danger of "persecution" based on his avoidance of the judicial process. That's not a protected class.

The original allegations and the decision of the special prosecutor to reopen the case are two distinct incidents.

Basically, it is not necessary for the original allegations to have been fabricated or politically motivated for the reopening of the case to be so. It can very well be that the reopening of the case was just an opportunistic act, with a political motive.

Just my general lack of trust in things stored "securely" in the Cloud, vs securing it locally offline ourselves. :)

There are plenty of examples of stuff that should be secure, being leaked.

Also, if Certum "gets hacked" that's not a generic blanket giving complete access to every one of their systems. It's entirely possible they could get "hacked" and the hackers would only obtain read only access to stuff, without penetrating whatever signing systems there are.

Using a local fob circumvents several of those particular threats.

The weirdly expensive and slow postage option makes me curious about other things though. But that's probably just my paranoia revealing itself. ;)

Toyota is the tortoise and Tesla is the hare. Tesla’s lasting contribution will be shifting US consumer sentiment on electric vehicles. Previously, Americans were quick to mock electric vehicles and showed zero interest in the infrastructure investments required to make them work. Of course companies like Toyota have been burned many times by capricious foreign markets that are susceptible to jingoism and manipulation by oil concerns, etc. They took a wait-and-see approach. Once the market appetite is proven, they move with alacrity and eat this segment alive.
