It doesn't have to be JavaScript. In my immediate family and colleagues, everyone uses either Thunderbird or, in cases of my dad, MS Outlook. Some friends use webmail, but nevertheless, an open source client is super common. An addon can do pgp there.

Which is not to say it's not too hard. As my parents age, I notice their capacity for understanding new things decreases. It's not just technology, also games with new logic that they haven't seen before takes a while to grasp. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a four year old except that they understand and remember everything that existed 20 years ago. How they are ever to understand the concept of encryption, I don't know, let alone find the buttons to import a key from key servers.

For people below ~50yo, however, enigmail shouldn't be beyond them. The issue is that they don't know why they should care and therefore don't take the time to learn what it is.
The police in Sweden and every other country would save so much money if they could just ask the suspected criminals to be interviewed over skype instead of having to fetch them and take them to a police station. Or why not ask the person to be interviewed where they want it to happen and the police can come to them, with the prosecutor.
Ask HN: What would you do after got fired
It's kinda embarrassing, I got fired today, for spending too much time to understand the projects and wrote document instead of something "important". Our manager didn't even talk to me before firing me.

Some facts about me:
1. I wrote a tutorial to teach youth engineers but barely update recently.
2. I created quite a lot side-project but only one of them make little money.
3. I try to spend more time on Open source project like CPython but I made little progress.
4. I solved 180 problems on Leetcode but still stuck at interviews.

I'm not sure what to do next to be a better programmer.
He did not "flee" the country - he asked and was allowed to leave - the rape case was later reopened while he was in the UK and a European arrest warrant was issued by Sweden.

That was extremely strange and suspicious so he resisted the extradition first legally then by fleeing into the embassy. And in there he deteriorated greatly - spiraled into conspiracy and paranoia.
I think there's a case to be made that public discourse regularly happens on private property and that private organizations that provide public forums as a service must respect speech rights.

Of course, I would prefer an amendment to guarantee this, but it's less tenuous than other precedents.

All his trouble began after he leaked US butchery in Iraq

Yes, except for the troubles he brought on his own head, which don't relate to Iraq but do relate to his extremely asocial narcissistic behaviours.

His original hacking was done because he believed NASA was hiding war work (he hacked the Australian academic network seeking a path into NASA via DECnet) and predates the war in Iraq by a decade or more.
>That's mostly to the benefit of the accused.

How? if they can get a conviction they should get the conviction. For eg, Vijay Mallya from india was convicted of a crime and india is now seeking his extradition. how does it make sense that you keep the case open?

> So I don't have to worry about Groovy dying off (which is not to say it is)

Apache Groovy is dying off.

Sweden doesn't have trials in absentia? Judging by this document(https://rm.coe.int/168058f4b0), they do:

-------------------------------------------

Chapter 46 (proceedings in the district courts)
Section 15 a
If the matter can be satisfactorily investigated, the case may be adjudicated notwithstanding the fact that the defendant has appeared only by counsel or has failed to appear if:

1. there is no grounds to impose a criminal sanction other than fine, imprisonment for a maximum of three months, conditional sentence, or probation, or such sanctions
jointly,

2. after service of the summons upon the defendant, he has fled or remains in hiding in such a manner that he cannot be brought to the main hearing, or

3. the defendant suffers from serious mental disturbance and his or her attendance as a result thereon is unnecessary.

Orders under the Penal Code, Chapter 34, Section 1, paragraph 1, clause 1, shall have the same standing as the sanctions stated in the first paragraph, clause 1.

However, this does not apply if, in connection with such an order, a conditional release from imprisonment shall be declared forfeited as to a term of imprisonment
exceeding three months.

In the situations stated in first paragraph, clause 2, the case may be adjudicated even if the defendant has not been served the notice of the hearing.

Procedural issues may be decided even if the defendant has failed to appear in court. (SFS 2001:235)

That is a nice sentiment but I would like see the police budget if they start to spend the same amount of resources on all bail skips. Everyone being equal within the eyes of the law.

The police budget for the Assange case was about £3.5m per year. That is a lot of money which could be used in order to address other areas which the police is accused of turning a blind eye to.
It depends a bit on the scientific field, but in mine (computer vision, which this was also published in) the first author is the "main" author, usually doing most if not all the "ground work", then you have collaborators and co-authors, and finally the supervisors (in the case of the PhD student that she was at the time). It is becoming more common to see papers with "Author1, Author2, Author3..." lists, where the "*" authors count with equal contribution. This is important for attribution and the infamous metrics that funding often depends on, but it's not the case here.

So I'm certain those authors did their part, so maybe yes, I should have linked this as "Bouman et al." but I wouldn't expect this to be six equal contributions either.

That all being said, she's certainly standing on the shoulders of a pyramid of giants there.

Edit: to the people downvoting the parent, maybe explain? I didn't take this as a bad faith comment. It can be genuinely confusing to someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of academic attribution...

>There is a lot of negative sentiment around Tesla lately.

Because the mainstream press is catching up to things that "the Shorts" have been seeing and saying for a long time.

It's a fact that Teslas are great cars. It's also a fact that the quality is just okay, that the market for $50k+ vehicles is limited, and that Tesla can't produce a $35k vehicle at a profit.

If people bought into the idea that you were getting a fully autonomous car that would drive itself around and make you money while you slept, for $35,000 before incentives...I'm not sure what to say. But it seems like many people did.
If you ask people in the know "who is the person behind Windows PowerShell?" it is very likely that they will agree.

I wouldn't expect the answer to "who is the person behind the first black hole image?" to be so clear.
No, it's ad hom. The fact he's creepy is strictly speaking irrelevant, except some of us think non consensual sex without a condom with a sleeping woman is bad. Sufficient enough to be decidedly mixed about his subsequent behaviours. And many ex Wikileaks participants say he is a narcissistic ass. Which makes it very hard to feel entirely sad his self imposed state in the embassy is all the USA's fault. Because it he'd kept his dick under control none of this would have happened.

What happens now is very sad. He is facing a pretty dire state of affairs.
Exactly. The sheer fact that the headline use "Katie Bouman" instead of Dr. Bouman or name her at all shows that the important point conveyed by the title and the article is the sex of the researcher. Don't believe it? BBC didn't use the name of Pr. Honjo and Pr. Allison for the Nobel prize of Medecine. [1] I guess getting a Nobel prize is not important enough to be mentioned in headline... for men.

He was a suspect, not a criminal.
You just gotta love the way he was a hero for the liberals until he leaked the dnc email. Now he's Putins agent.

Btw, I haven't seen any link about the release of the Mueller report.
He should not have agreed to forced landing and plane search. That was a weak move.
Papers are routinely credited to their first author. Everyone understand the co-authors also took part. She also clearly credits the rest of the team in the posted BBC article.
They haven't promoted conspiracies like Pizzagate or Qanon, they just leaked Podesta's emails etc.

What conclusions people draw from those leaks is on them, not wikileaks.
Another thought occurred to me, can free speech survive speech that attacks free speech? If so, there's nothing to worry about. If not, then you enter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance where speech arguing against the freedom of speech must be banned and we agree there must be limits on speech to protect itself.
Ugh, no, never.

At home I like silence around me and not having to speak.

At the office it’d be rude and most things are faster with a keyboard anyway.

I suppose they’re also potentially useful for hands-free operation. If they actually work.

Agreed. Its just more proof, (as if we needed it) that the UK is just a little puppet for the US. The police standing outside that embassy were justified on the Swedish extradition request, which has since been withdrawn. All of a sudden now a US extradition request has appeared. We should all take responsibility for this frankly, in my opinion, atrocity this man is a part of our community, the hacker community, this is not only an attack on press freedoms, but the hacker community too.

We need to be more vigilent, more aware, stronger and never forget.
and considering the public mood after a several year campaign to demonize Wikileaks and Assange by the US media, chances are pretty high that he will rot in a US prison for life or have his ashes thrown into the sea the same way as they did with Osama bin Laden. The US is a terror state that uses torture and secret prisons. I hope that EU countries will stop extradition asap.
3. Heat given off by the engine and propulsion mechanism when running at that speed.

For many vehicles, the difference in that factor between running at ideal cruising speed (the 60MPH car in both of our examples) and a lower speed is minimal, and could well be offset or overtaken by the extra spend in (2). This is my 30MPH car example.

Running at a higher than ideal speed is inefficient in this factor and increases fuel usage a lot. This is your 120MPH (my 90MPH) example.

As you say, airlines care deeply about costs. It is highly unlikely that they were mostly running their planes inefficiently above design cruise speed, and are now slowing down to at or below the design cruise speed. It is more likely that they have always been at around the optimal speed, and are now going slower than that to reduce the risk of fines.

Since 2013 (when I started following Tesla stock), I have seen daily or weekly headlines about Tesla coming to an end.
An ironic aspect of financing (from personal loans to multi-billion dollar deals) is that you can get it as long as you don't need it.

Google or FB would have no problem at all spending a measly $4.5bn on a project that potentially has real impact on their primary business (search,ads), or even secondary one (android, etc.). Their only problem is finding a way to spend it.

This is because Google makes software, and software doesn't really require much capital. The only thing they could realistically spend that kind of money on is m&a.

So, because they don't need it, google has many times that sum sitting around and could probably raise many times that sum again.

Because the only thing they could spend it on is m&a. If they do, the money goes to pay founders/investors in the target company....and back to to the "available to invest" pile of money collectively accumulating in software giants' balance sheets, VC & PE funds and such.

What rarely happens is actual spending.

If Tesla or another manufacturing company gets ahold of $5bn, they will actually spend it on parts, machinery and such.

The current money market is so loopy. All it can do is move money around. It can't spend it. It's like a real estate market in dense places like NY, but worse. Lots of money flies around, but it goes between one pocket and another. Very little goes towards building buildings. An investment in the gigafactory would be more like investing in a new city. It actually results in buildings, but isn't going to be attractive to investors, because... because it isn't a zero sum game. Other people can build a building too. There's no reason for your building to be worth more than it cost you to build.
No. He refused to leave the embassy for fear of extradition, but he invited prosecutors to interview him within the embassy.

From what I understood, Sweden has a very extensive definition of "rape". Basically someone can go to the police and say "well, in hindsight I do feel a bit raped" and that is enough. Assange's accusers hosted him at their place, had consensual sex with him, and the day after they parted ways peacefully.

Yes, because the Assange case was in the public eye. It's particularly important to uphold the law when everyone is looking.

If spending more resources for that reason conflicts with your ideals, then that's not a point I'm looking to argue here. My point is just that it doesn't take a conspiracy theory to explain why the UK was willing to spend this much money.

Consider for example all the money that the police spent looking for Madeline Mcann (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/police-madel...). Was she any more important than any other missing child? Not really. Was there a geopolitical motive? Obviously not. But hey, she was in the news.
Public transport will always be able to pack more people into the same space.

There is a minimum amount of space occupied by the vehicle's own matter. The ratio of that material to the occupant is a scaling law: the larger the vehicle, the higher the volume-to-surface, the denser the passenger-to-vehicle ratio can be.

A standard R160 subway car carries up to about 250 people in an area that would be about the same as 5 Corollas positioned nose to tail, a starting ratio of about 10:1. If cars are made twice as dense, it's still 5:1.

This is ordinary batching. The only thing that can carry more people more densely than a bus or train is the footpath.

Death to America
Prior to low cost ride sharing, a good bus system that people will use as an alternative to cars pollutes more because it has to run a lot mostly empty buses to satisfy long tail demand.

To the extend low cost ride sharing is a short term unicorn phenomena, that will again become true, although self-contained electric buses might change that a bit. Maybe someday self-driving cars will change this, but that's not in the predictable, foreseeable future.
A 'role model' is someone who shares your background and is successful in an area of interest where you would like to participate/contribute (science, art, sports, politics, ...) .
It's someone who demonstrates that 'someone like you' can be successful, too.
Therefore, the closer this role model is to your inherent and unchangeable properties (age, sex/gender, origin, social class), the more it can inspire you.

Surely, a man can be a role model for a woman in science (and vice versa) - e.g., if you are from the same small ethnic minority as the role model.
However, male/female lifestyle, upbringing, interests, challenges, etc. are quite different in general, even in otherwise very homogeneous (western) societies.
Therefore, the role model having the same sex/gender is very important.
