> So what you're saying is that he hasn't named the real leaker and hasn't made any firm claims on who the real leaker is?

I believe the specific portion most people would find troubling in that article is:

“We're not saying that Seth Rich's death necessarily is connected to our publications – that's something that needs to be established,” said Assange. “But if there is any question about a source of WikiLeaks being threatened, then people can be assured that this organization will go after anyone who may have been involved in some kind of attempt to coerce or possibly, in this kill a potential source.”

> Assange is not responsible for the conspiracy theories that other people generate from his information.

Well, that depends. There are definitely ways I could purposefully word information that would give people a strong impression I was trying to communicate something without saying it.

Do I believe Assange made any factual statements here that the staffer was a wikileaks source and he was killed because of the leak? No.

Do I believe he was trying to insinuate himself and Wikileaks into a narrative where he knew they had nothing to do with it, possibly wasting resources that could have gone towards finding the actual killer, and lending credence to a narrative that we now know (to my knowledge) was untrue? Yes.

That's not illegal. It does affect how people perceive him and his endeavors though.

How to Optimize Your ATS with Chatbots?
You seem to treat NULLs as if they have a specific meaning. So then the question is this: what should count(NULL) be?

Here are some options:

1) count(NULL) = 0, so apparently NULL is just like an empty set at least some of the time. This means that some of the code will treat NULLs as empty sets and other code will not, leaving the burden on the programmer to keep in mind these implicit differences.

2) count(NULL) = 1 because NULL is a value, albeit a sentinel value. This can lead to tricky problems where a count() suggests that there's some data, while, in fact, there is none.

3) count(NULL) = NULL. If the idea behind this option is that sentinel value cannot be operated on, then this is pretty much like throwing an error at every NULL, which, in turn, will result in the necessity to guard many expressions with some error (NULL) handling code.

One of the things to note is that an empty set has rather unambiguous semantics, while a NULL presents options each of which can be justified depending on how a particular person thinks about this special value. The line between "a value has not yet been assigned", "no value has been assigned" and "a value has been unassigned" is very blurry. On the other hand, the line between "there is no value" and "there is a value" is pretty clear.
I'm using the term you used. I'm not concerned with the connotation, I'm concerned with making an argument based in fact.

You said that some people make the distinction between "election meddling" and "exposing government actions". What I'm saying is that those two aren't mutually exclusive and you'd be incorrect to make that distinction as a rule.

Anytime you expose government actions on a democratic government you're naturally going to have some amount of influence on the next election, so frankly it seems rather unintelligent to attempt to draw a distinction there. Either unintelligent or dishonest.

"At first, “Pearl Harbor” was not the way most people referred to the bombings. “Japs bomb Manila, Hawaii” was the headline in one New Mexico paper; “Japanese Planes Bomb Honolulu, Island of Guam” in another in South Carolina. Sumner Welles, FDR’s undersecretary of state, described the event as “an attack upon Hawaii and upon the Philippines”. Eleanor Roosevelt used a similar formulation in her radio address on the night of 7 December, when she spoke of Japan “bombing our citizens in Hawaii and the Philippines”.

That was how the first draft of FDR’s speech went, too: it presented the event as a “bombing in Hawaii and the Philippines”. Yet Roosevelt toyed with that draft all day, adding things in pencil, crossing other bits out. At some point he deleted the prominent references to the Philippines."

Contrary to the standard short story, there must still be significant demand for the 3 if Tesla is raising prices rather than lowering them. Yes, the $35k model 3 is still technically available, but obviously they don't want to sell them.

If there was little demand, they would rather sell a $35k 3 at no profit than idle their factory.
They do this to prevent the two boosters from interfering with each other's guidance systems, which I believe uses radar.

Don't forget that when the mythical $35k Model 3 was announced, Tesla purchasers could get the full federal tax credit. That would have put the price below $30k, perhaps even after destination fees.

For the sake of anybody else reading this, I edited my previous comment before you responded, but at the time you saw my comment your first quote was accurate. My fault for that disjointed communication, I thought I edited it quickly enough.

In that quote he has specifically said "We're not saying that Seth Rich's death neccessarily is connected to our publications." I see nothing wrong with entertaining a conspiracy theory if you aren't lying about having evidence you may not have.

I'd like to hear how you know that Assange knew that they had nothing to do with it? Because your argument seems to hinge on that idea.

Please do tell me these better options as I had been considering a Model X but do not want to be forced to buy autopilot.

It is relevant to the discussion to point out Jim Balsillie's relation to this topic. It's not a refutation of the point being made though. It's entirely possible that he has ulterior motives for making this argument that aren't based on it being morally (or event factually) correct, but it may be correct (or incorrect) separately from that.

I've seen this problem solved a few different ways.

1) Have a romanized version of the value to sort.
2) Have a hiragana or katakana version of the value to sort (hiragana > katakana > roman order for sorting).

Excel seems to sort things without telling it the reading for something. In JS and a few other languages Japanese is sorted based on UTF-8/16 code. This works for everything but kanji because of the reading requires a human.
You'd willingly give all your keys and passwords to authoritarian and brutal governments if people without a sense of humor and with bulges under their suits' armpits showed on your doorstep, too. In fact, every single US-based global corporation did so at one time or another.

Many kanji have numerous pronunciations. I have a dictionary extension on my browser that may help illustrate:

https://i.imgur.com/Nftkjks.png

According to the dictionary, the word 淳 can be read as jun, shun, atsui, atsu, atsushi, kiyo, kiyoshi, makoto, or sunao. And evidently this is not fully complete, since Akiko can also use that character.

It's definitely one of the more annoying parts of Japanese, and ultimately you just have to learn common words and for ones where there are multiple common pronunciations (like these names), someone will ask for the pronunciation (for names) or it will be clear from context (for words).

Also, if you weren't aware, there's also a thing called furigana, which is essentially writing the alphabet really small above a kanji word so you know the pronunciation. Really useful and something that Chinese sorely lacks imo.
50% of the worlds population live in cities. Car ownership is more expensive and has less utility in cities too. I'm also certain that we will start retrofitting AV enabling tech into our city streets soon to speed up the process. AV's will be "good enough" for many use cases very soon.
The only problem with that is that the resulting order would be useless for many applications. Say you're looking up your friend Tanaka Tarou, but you're not sure which characters his name is written with. If the sort order is phonetic, you can find the name and likely work out that this is the Tanaka you were looking for. But how do you search for a name in a kanji-indexed list if you don't know the kanji?

Incidentally, this is why kanji dictionaries invariably have multiple indices: one by radical, the other by pronunciation(s).
When you change your gender does it apply retroactively? I assume it doesn't because that is needlessly complicated.
Registering for selective service isn't being drafted, it's adding you name to the registry of those eligible to be drafted, if needed.

US males aged 18-25 are compelled to register, under penalty. You must also update the agency in event you move. Despite a recent US SCOTUS ruling that only requiring males to register is unconstitutional, the agency stands by the law as written. See "STATEMENT ON RECENT COURT CASES PERTAINING TO WOMEN AND SELECTIVE SERVICE REGISTRATION" at [1]

Selective service also has nothing to do with Jury duty - thats normally driven by voter registration as it tends to be one the most accurate records of who lives in a jurisdiction.

> There is no way any of these model 3s end up in an autonomous ride share. Especially with only cameras and no LIDAR. I

They could retrofit hardware at the end of the lease when they reclaim the vehicles.

OTOH, I'm skeptical about Tesla having an autonomous ride sharing network to use them in when they come off lease.
Me too. If anyone has any pointers to such a database, I'd be interested. I have some devices that are looking like they'll need a custom filesystem based key store, but others running linux with a need to sync the two types of devices.

so, as long as investors have appetite to lose money to buy market share? you are, of course, right.

But the business cycle goes up, and the business cycle goes down. (I mean, the general trend is upwards, but if you don't think there will be big downturns inbetween, well...)

The problem is that yes, uber and lyft have dominance for as long as they are willing to run the business for less money than anyone else; This puts a pretty hard cap on how profitable they can be.

(I mean, for an example of a competitor who might be willing to do it for very little over break-even, I've talked with several people who would be interested in setting up a competitor that was operated as a driver's cooperative. I mean, even that isn't workable when uber and lift are losing money, but it would work at profit levels that uber and lyft would consider break-even; such a cooperative could work really well as a break-even business, while investors in both uber and lyft would be super disappointed with a break-even business)

Compounding this, the ridesharing space is one that is massively price sensitive. Uber and lyft are so cheap that I've gotten rid of my car, and I use them all the time.

But if they raise their rates significantly? I'm gonna go buy a honda and drive myself; They get to duke it out for driving me around when I'm drunk, but we're talking less than 5% of my rides.

I suspect I'm not super unusual in this regard.
So will they just leave the debris up there? Will there just be wreckage on the moon now? (Maybe there already was?)

I'm sure you would need to cut off many features but I would start small and release it as a Postgresql extension. Even better, you can sit in front of Postgresql and develop your own client libraries for DDL and queries. That way, you could support RDS and Cloud SQL so companies can confidently try out EdgeDB. Once you prove that the new query language works, you can extend and build a new database from Postgresql.

The only reason “rental” and “lease” aren't the synonyms they usually are in auto land is because “rental” is used when the period is very short term, and “lease” is used for a period, generally, of a few years.

That's not what is happening at all. Amazon dominates the ecommerce market, is still growing like crazy, is even still growing faster than the overall ecommerce market, and the ecommerce market is growing faster than the overall retail market.

That was the idea with Google's little bubble car. It was supposed to have a top speed around 25mph and cruise around retirement communities. That seemed like a feasible goal. But it cost too much to make as a product. The LIDAR units alone would have put it over $100K.[1]

Voyage.auto [2] claims to be deploying such cars now. Or rather, their web site contains announcements from late 2018 that they were doing so. Later information seems to be lacking. It's a basically good idea, but they claim an on-site staff of 5 for three cars, so they are nowhere near this making financial sense.

A real problem with self-driving cars is the false-alarm rate for emergency braking. If you're conservative about crash prevention, every once in a while the vehicle is going to detect something it doesn't identify as safe and will brake hard. That's why Uber turned off automatic braking in their cars - "to reduce potential for erratic behavior."[3] False-alarm braking, or even strong braking conservative by human standards, limits customer acceptance.

IMO, Julian deserves a lot harsher sentence than Manning, but what he's been indicted on thusfar, is pretty week with a max federal sentence of only 5 years. I fully expect the prosecution to use this to bargain with him for a plea (and info on Russian election tampering). Their dangle to him would be a whole slew of superceding indictments they'll almost certainly have him dead to rights on. Guccifer 2 has been proven by Mueller's indictments to be a GRU (Russian Military) intelligence operation. Stone, Julian, and Guccifer 2 were all pals. That's not a good place to be when you're in US custody.
