This is already a widespread problem for prisons, so you are correct.

“There’s not a prison not fighting this issue in the country,” says Sean Ferguson, New Technology Project Manager at Georgia State Department of Corrections. “If they say they’re not facing it, they’re just not admitting to it. So it is an issue.”

Ideally, you'd want the IRS to be able to reliably populate a tax return, where all you do it sign it (or make corrections). A world where the IRS is pre-populating a return that may not be correct starts getting tough, even with such a taxpayer-warrant system.

I'm no physicist, but I wasn't sure whether the goings on of quantum mechanics (virtual particles) in a vacuum is sufficient for entropy to occur. It seems like a timeless process, with forward and backward interactions equally likely. Of course, if the underlying fields are slowly changing with time, then that would likely be entropic.
Electric will be the death of the brand. BMW's require such expensive service, it's laughable compared to other brands.

That article says, "Failure to surrender, ie. not turning up on the date given on your bail sheet (whether to a court or to return to a police station) is a crime."

What's not a crime is breaching the conditions of your bail, e.g. you can't go to political protests if you're released on bail.
> In fact, I would argue that Occam's Razor advises us to prefer non-realism.

Can you list these arguments, please? IMHO, Occam's Razor is at side of realism: our Universe has no bounds in space, in time, and in scale. So, we can predict future of any particle if we will have enough information about it, but we cannot do that with 100% confidence, because Universe is endlessly deep. We can only collect information about particles at our "layer" of Universe only (or "dimension" in terms of String theory). The deeper we will go, the more uncertainty we will have, because particles will be influenced by "layer(s)" ("dimensions") below our.

I still cannot believe that rational people believe that Trump said that literally. Even if you weren't watching and only got the media-spun version of events, the idea that the FSB is going to be watching live TV waiting for a literal order from a US candidate strikes me as so comically outlandish.

The problem is that to get where they are they've needed huge investment and issued huge amounts of debt. They are only able to do that because of the huge valuation justified by self-driving technology. If they end up as a company churning out great electric vehicles that is not going to justify being valued at 50% more than Ford.

What costs Tesla money is building great big battery factories and car factories, meanwhile the the software engineers working on self-driving are a relative drop in the bucket but justify probably 80% of the market cap.

I'm confused. Given that "images" are just data, how is taking a bunch of data about a black hole and combining it into a single "picture" of a black hole not also gathering data to help us study black holes?

As I understand it, the notability of the project is that it found a novel way to process data from coordinated data collectors scattered around the earth into a single coherent data set (with more resolution than any single collector could gather).

are you calling me a fascist right?

I'm neither right nor left and maintain that both camps are equally deluded. I don't hate the US - I want the US to succeed! Very much so!

But it's not going to succeed by telling Americans that all is fine and they are doing a great job not considering the mess that they create in the world (since decades). I am obviously upset about the US but it's not out of hate but because of disappointment. They have always acted like a role model for how "freedom and individuality" is the corner stone of a happy society - some might say they "pressed their liberal views onto the world". I am very much bought into that ideology so it stinks and hurts even more so when I get to watch their actual hypocrisy play out as it does right now. It's like being in a relationship with a toxic souse that says one thing and makes you believe in the overall message and then stabs you in the back.

I like watching Friends, How I met your mother, and other US cultural things and feel a stronger bond to their culture than to my own home country (which whatever they produce now is an poor American knock-off). So calling me an American hating fascist or right-winger is a bit too quick I think.

Stop killing Muslims, and stop putting your poor and minorities into prisons, educate your stupid and give them health insurance, and we'll be best friends again. Hopefully then _together_ (!) we can tackle real problems such as climate change. Sounds a lot more rewarding than going for war to make a few puppet masters richer.
Unless things have changed, you can't think of it as a real CDN. The Google engineer assigned to our AMP launch told us to think of it as a proxy without actually calling it that. Our testing showed that to be an accurate description of how it worked in practice.
We have busy tables with lots of record churn some which receive 2000 xacts/s. I’ve found that they will never shrink down until you do a full vacuum but regular vacuum is good at reusing pages so tables won’t outgrow their max size during busiest periods. We never run full vacuums because we’ve never found it to be necessary.
Wow - really? I'd say that Facebook is far, far, far worse than Amazon. And Google is certainly worse as well. Look at the data collection on Android phones, for example.

At least Amazon, from day 1 of the Echo/Alexa launch, noted clearly (not in small print, but right there in pictures on the product detail page) that the user's voice was going up to the cloud. And provided a microphone-off switch right on top of the device. Where's the mic-off button on your (typical) Android or iOS phone?

That may be a (relatively new) criminal argument, but there is also Manning plus 18 USC §2(a): “Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” (emphasis added)

He was in Sweden at the time. The UK couldn't have extradited him from Sweden to the US.

Not saying that the Swedish charges were all manufactured, just following your hypothesis.
Let's not forget the famous Gen. Petraeus [0] who only had to admit guilt for a misdemeanor charge of "mishandling classified material", the more lawyery way of saying he divulged classified information to his mistress in bed.

Just bear in mind that libel is a seriously expensive game in the UK (£100,000+), and perhaps might not be your highest priority when you're fighting an extradition attempt.

People interested in bail in England and Wales might be interested in the CPS page, which sets out who can get bail and why, and what counts as surrendering for bail or not: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/bail

In particular, https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/bail#a19

This shows that breaching your bail conditions means you may be arrested and either re-bailed, or taken into custody.

Assange is a russian stooge. Trump is a russian stooge. And yet Trump wants Assange crushed. How do people like you reconcile the inherent contradiction of your own argument? Are you angling for a job at CNN? The "russian stooge" propaganda has been so overused that it has lost any relevance.
> Btw, this debate is almost as old as human culture. It was already present in Aristotle (materalism) vs. Plato (idealism).

Materialism vs. idealism is not the same disagreement as realism vs. non-realism. Both materialism and idealism preserve counterfactual definiteness (CFD). The quantum interpretations that give up CFD are a fundamentally new paradigm, and a ridiculous one IMO.

For instance, the mathematical universe hypothesis is a new form of idealism, but it preserves CFD and so is realist.

I am not dismissing it, it is still a crime, but I won't consider it rape, same as I will not consider unwanted groping to be rape but still criminal behavior.

Also, it was investigated twice, charges dropped twice. It was taken seriously.
He doesn't leak about Russian much at all.
Even if it were unsealed (and when it is, that's going to be a separate news storm [0], so I'm relatively certain it wasn't at the moment of the request or arrest), that wouldn't change the historical fact that it was not released, only indirectly referenced.

1. Far-right extremism against Muslims is MUCH WORSE in Europe than America. It's shocking for a dirty-nosed European whose radical white nationalists spew all manner of hatred and engage in right wing terror attacks to point the finger at America. Clean your own white nationalist problems because the re-rise of what happened in the 1930's is occurring on your shores too. Because of America's separation by oceans, not many Muslims can migrate here or attack us, so our #1 terrorists by attacks and deaths are radical white nationalists. When it comes to mistreatment of Muslims migrants, Europeans and their seemingly openly pro-neo-nazi far-right parties are so incredibly much better at it. The shit I hear from Euro skinhead politicians is utterly shocking and would never be spoken in America.

2. Treatment of minorities is an interesting subject, how are Roma treated in Europe? How are Muslims migrants treated in Europe? How are the giant Muslim camps that European countries operate? There is so much radical bigotry coming from far right Europeans on the subject after all.

3. Your red herrings about muslims and minorities has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with your support for fascist dictatorships and their attacks on the West, like Russia, and their network of "unaffiliated" controlled organizations like Wikileaks.

If you support Wikileaks, which is a functionally a branch of Russian military intelligence, then how can you not support the Russian military operations that Wikileaks supports like the Gerasimov Doctrine re: destruction of liberal Europe and America?

Pretty shocking reply from you to descend into babbling about minorities when I'm talking about the Cold War between the liberal west and the authoritarian east restarting. How about you figure out which nations are LITERALLY ATTACKING YOU TO DESTROY YOUR WAY OF LIFE, eh?

I tend to agree, there is no reason to change the hn look and feel.

News sites like newspapers and large blogs are particularly egregious imo (but I think much of that is driven by demands for revenue by selling more ads and tracking).

You must be from US - it seems to be lagging behind in that area. Here, there are not street dealers anymore, deaddrops are how end users buy it. And hiring a stream of low-skill couriers that end up in jail after 2-3 months of working for anonymous boss is way cheaper and safer than flying drones from your own location.

Julian Assange Indictment
Ok, you'll have to explain the plan to me.

How does having Assange accused of rape in Sweden help the US to extradite him?

Assange was traveling between lots of countries at the time. It's not as if he was permanently based in Sweden. And Assange being accused of a crime in Sweden does not in any way make it easier for the US to extradite him from Sweden on other charges.

edit: Also, the usual conspiracy story was that the CIA/the Illuminati/whoever had directed Sweden to reopen the rape case after Assange had arrived in the UK. (The case was dropped before he left Sweden, then reopened shortly after he arrived in the UK.)

It's certainly no placebo; it results in immediate (if somewhat temporary) mood changes in many cases. Most of the side effects are probably from the general anesthesia rather than the induced seizures.

One problem with ECT is that many psychiatric medicines (e.g. lamotrigine) are also anticonvulsants so it requires stopping or reducing doses of those medicines which can cause problems.
They tried the more complicated route before they tried the simple route? Assange was in the UK for approximately two years before he went into the embassy.
