The government's position isn't that he "helped" Manning, it is that Manning acted, in part on the direction of Assange. If I remember correctly, their correspondence between each other occurred before Manning did anything. Assange basically said he would publish it if it were given to him.

So imagine if a journalist did that, and told someone "if you break into this person's house, I will publish your findings. Since neither of us like this person."

Would that be illegal? It would definitely be illegal.
I think the statistics were also that real-estate agents houses also stay on the market longer than other houses. Which also agrees with what you're saying. Essentially they can maybe make 6% of 20-50k more but it would require weeks more work on their part so it's not nearly as big a deal to the agent as it is to the owner.
Agree, this place isn’t remotely like 4chan in any way.
It's not an issue of Gradle, it's a feature of Gradle. Why would you want to figure out the dependencies without executing script? Programmatic configuration allows e.g. specify some library version once (e.g. springVersion) and use it for 10 dependencies as a variable. And that's a simplest use-case. Full-featured programming language allows for a lot of flexibility.

Not every config file needs that, but a config file for a build system definitely needs that. Otherwise your build system becomes too restricted and you must either write your logic in plugins or use another scripts along with your main build tool. Both options are bad.

I'm not even sure that build.gradle should be called a config file. It's a build script.
someone making the case that you have a factually inaccurate model of the way policy works

Your case was basically "trust me, I'm right".
My greatest ever accomplishment was implementing this formula in a spreadsheet. I still have it! Here's the cell formula:

=ACOS(COS(RADIANS(90−Selector::$Lat))×COS(RADIANS(90−N2))+SIN(RADIANS(90−Selector::$Lat))×SIN(RADIANS(90−N2))×COS(RADIANS(Selector::$Lon−O2)))×6371

("Selector" is a table title, I seem to remember - this is an Apple Numbers spreadsheet.)

6371 is a magic number which gives the result in kilometers.
Having more people in developed countries wouldn't hurt.
I'm a little confused here. It turned out that it was his mother's ex-boyfriend, who had taken his car without permission. That explains the car, but how does it explain the location? Did he just happen to also leave close to there and was moving in a similar pattern? Was the phone inside the car?

Really, the issue here was the car, without which they wouldn't have had enough evidence to get the person's information in the first place. Are you not partly responsible to whom you give your car to?
They also seem to be partisan or at least became that way.

A tool of nation states in the end.
I'd argue that some consequence was reasonable in this case, as she went far beyond what was needed to achieve clarity for the greater good.
Kathie said [1] "What you can do is to use methods where you [have] do not need any calibration whatsoever and you can still can get pretty good results.
So here on the bottom at the top is the truth image, and this is simulated data, as we are increasing the amount of amplitude error and you can see here ... it's hard to see ... but it breaks down once you add too much gain here. But if we use just closure quantities - we are invariant to that.
So that really, actually, been a really huge step for the project, because we had such bad gains.

We offer and pay for BahnCard 50, no questions asked. A single long distance trip a year and it’s paid for. Pretty much every one in the company travels at least once a year. If you travel sufficiently for company purposes, we pay for BC100, for people that travel extremely much, even first class.

Most people that work for us actually prefer train over flight for anything that’s within germany. Travel sometimes takes slightly longer, but is substantially more relaxed and you can actually make something in that time.
Historic value is what out of the multitude of current things that people in the future find worth keeping.

The only way to tax "historic value" would be to put a sliding scale tax on things in proportion to their subjective quality and incentivize garbage that nobody thinks anyone will want 20 years from now.
That’s debatable and dependent on what metric you’re looking at. Prior to nationalisation the number of rail passengers in the uk had flatlined for decades. After prioritisation it has been growing like mad [1].

There are valid criticisms against privatisation or how it was executed, but generally claiming that it hasn’t worked is not accurate. From a usage stand point, it has worked rather well.

Exodus can detect a number of them: https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/

By installing their app, you can see the trackers for each app that you have installed. If you use Yalp store (an open source front-end for the Play Store), there is also a button to view trackers for each app.

Edit: just saw that you're on iOS. This is probably not allowed by Apple, so I guess there will be no alternative.
That's a fair point. But have you considered that maybe Harlem would be hard pressed to find investors, even if the investors got a Visa? It would only take away investment from other areas if a) all the investment visa spots are fully allocated and b) If the investors would have given the money to some low-income community instead.

I'm certainly not an expert on this, but it sounds plausible to me that at least one of the aforementioned conditions is not true.
So if someone steals, er, I mean copies your private information without permission like SSN, bank information, mothers maiden name, debit card numbers, etc. they never committed a crime unless they use or publishes them? I don't think so.

>you deal with them after the fact based on the actions and their broader context. So in this case, the action is "publishing". Whether publishing is legal or not is governed by different laws.

That's done only as a convenience of law enforcement. Just like if you download a Hollywood movie torrent without purchasing it, you're still committing a crime even though law enforcement won't come after you because it takes too many resources.

I am not making a moral argument. When you build more housing you use the underlying resource, which is "space". That resource becomes more scares, so everything else being equal the next unit of housing is more expensive. That is why individual area in most cities never becomes more affordable by themselves. The way to get affordable housing isn't to supply more housing as such, but to supply it from a cheaper more available resources.
No, you absolutely will not. The article you linked is talking about 2/4 seat trainers. Electric simple does not scale to airliner sizes/speeds/distances. We're currently working towards hybrid-electric airliners that may offer some efficiency improvements, and even those are 3-4 decades from commercial operation. Fully electric requires a fundamental breakthrough in battery energy density.

Just putting it out there, 11 million is significantly more than the number of people that lost their insurance in the “if you like your insurance you can keep it” outrage of 2013.

So 7% is quite a bit.
I’ve seen both at sizable scales, the logic patterns are the same, the complexity almost always comes from incorrect modeling of the problem (which devops tools perpetuate). Once a problem is solved correctly, take K8s for example, then the problem becomes much simpler and operations has a well thought out model to work in.

If you’re in technology your profession is to solve problems, it’s not to entrench poor decisions in a company, which in some sense everyone is at fault for, but this area affects a lot of a company and the attitudes are pretty anti-improvement if it goes out of someone’s skill set. The end result is that the software will be moved out of operations, I see this more and more. Operations can’t improve just by magic, they need to embrace the past 50 years of computing knowledge too.
I've seen people support racism, violence and child pornography on this site. More than once.

Perhaps the difference is that, unlike 4chan, such things aren't routine, but I've found that Hacker News tends to segregate itself by subject rather than boards, so the toxic contingent shows up more often in certain threads than others. Hacker News' version of /pol/ would be most threads touching on the sort of subjects that /pol/ is particularly toxic over - race, gender and feminism, nationalism, etc.

But yes, in some ways Hacker News is like 4chan, except when people here argue that Jews should be sent to the ghettos or the gas chambers, they do so politely. Most of the time.

Semantic whitespace is a nightmare. It's also sometimes I ambiguous whether things are ints, bools, or strings.
Food waste is a bigger issue than people putting too much on their plates. One of the highest sources of food waste is in the "manufacturing"/distribution phases -- malformed, misshapen, and otherwise "unsalable" produce is either left unpicked in the fields or rejected by groceries. More waste comes from rejections due to food safety regulations, overproduction, logistical errors resulting in spoilage, and the simple fact of groceries needing to display full bins/shelves of food at all times, even for low-volume products which they can never hope to sell in time.

It's like when individuals are made to feel bad over taking a five minute shower instead of a three minute shower, while Nestle is extracting millions of gallons of water without paying a cent for it. Individuals should absolutely do everything they can to reduce their own food waste, and composting is better than nothing, but as a global society we should really be focusing our efforts on the largest sources of waste first.

Nope. Safari is by far the most popular browser on iOS.
It's more than that, it's that Assange actively assisted in the crime.

A better analogy would be that as he was casing the joint, he called up someone, told them he was going to break in, and asked for instructions on how to pick locks. At that point, rendering such assistance makes you an accomplice.

"Publishing" documents is not what Assange is being indicted for, and his defenders refuse to accept that point. It is cited as an aggravating circumstance, which is indeed arguably an overreach.
If both the state and federal governments each had a 55% tax rate, you'd be justified in questioning the rates and voting for a different government! Just as I expect people would complain if there was just a single tax authority, but it set a rate of 110%.

Assume for now that we accept the federal government is entitled to raise money for its programs by taxing people's incomes (yes, some people might disagree, but that's a different discussion). Why should a state be allowed to reduce the federal government's take, and therefore shift the burden of paying for federal services to other states, by choosing to increase its own local tax?
It is pretty limited and the worst part is quoting. What if your value contains \n? What about UTF8?
But that also applies to the train, I don't live at the train station.

Plane:

- Drive 30 minutes to Amsterdam airport

- Park and go to gate, takes me 20 minutes from parking to gate

- Boarding and waiting for take-off: 20 to 30 minutes

Train:

- 10 minutes bike to the station is the fastest

- Another 10 minutes to get from bike into train

- Highspeed train doesn't stop here, so 40 minutes train to Rotterdam

- Wait to switch to the highspeed train, 15 minutes

So they roughly take me the same time to get to. The only upside of the train is that it goes to Paris Nord instead of the airport. But the benefit of that greatly depends on what meeting you're trying to get to, because most larger offices in Paris are not in the middle of the city.

I'm talking specifically about high tax states like CA, NY, NJ. If you isolate taxpayers in those states the change affects a lot more than 7% of residents of those states.

This change was about Trump's desire to hurt residents of blue, high tax coastal states. To minimize this as something that only affects the .1% is rationalizing his terrible tax policy.
Nice article! What Crate advocates here might be common sense to a lot of people here on HN, but I can assure you that there are lots of people in leading positions out there who has no clue about this paradigm. Hopefully some of them will read this article.

This involves a faith in automation having near-magical powers, with no downsides whatsoever. Automation is expensive, limited to specific tasks that can be broken down into an unchanging list of steps, requires constant maintenance and updating, and is very vulnerable in ways humans are not. We already are very vulnerable as a computerized society to events like typhoons-a society with less people and more reliance on automation could suffer critical effects, since it often increases fragility as a trade off for efficiency.
This is a red herring because of the context. Wikileaks regularly dumped sensitive information like names of local informants in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan without redacting it, getting them killed in some cases.
We should let google do it and give us the details, they do it better as they have already invested a lot in it, doing it and keeping it as secret or FB do it. Basically an Android app asking other person to accept to track their location and send it to other person when they want it. It should be that simple.

i will never stop shilling for EDN: https://github.com/edn-format/edn

it has no comma issues (commas are whitespace), it has comments, it's very structured, it got better set of primitive types and literals for them, it has native support for tagged values for encoding more complex types, it's got first class support of encoding computation by virtue of being subset of clojure - lists can represent function calls, the usual lisp shenanigans, it has readability of yaml and none of it's drawbacks.

it's a shame EDN is not more widely used.
Update after 7 days:

I have removed the email signup and allowed a direct download. So far, the rate of downloads has gone up by a factor of between 5 - 10 times. Hard to know precise numbers at this time but it's looking good!

I don't have large enough numbers of users to know how this will impact on conversion, but it follows logically that if the product is the main selling point, getting users to engage with it in the easiest way possible can only be a good thing.

I'm now looking at replacing the on-boarding emails I was using with an in-app on-boarding process.

Thanks for your help with this one again!
A nugget of cycling wisdom says when you get fitter, cycling doesn't become any easier, you just go faster.

Similarly with automation, we are just ending up with more efficient means of production but not less work overall.
Yep... Even car sales increase because people have money for the down-payment.

You can grab the app’s IPA file with Apple Configurator and then crack it open to get a list. The binaries themselves will be encrypted, so you will not be able to introspect those, but you will get a good idea of which framework the app is using.

Let the straw be the following set:

X = { (x,y,z) in R3 : |z| < 1, 1 < x^2 + y^2 < 2 }

Change the numbers until this is straw-like enough for you.

Define the deformation retract f : I * X -> X, (where I is the unit interval [0,1]):

f_t(x,y,z) = (x,y,z*(1-t))

This is continuous and well-defined and retracts the straw onto the space

f_1(X) = { (x,y,0) : 1<x^2+y^2<2 }

Which is two dimensional.

Now do something similar to make the annulus a circle.

Now what it actually means for two spaces, X, Y to be homotopy equivalent is that there are continuous f : X -> Y and g : Y -> X such that fg is homotopic to the identity on Y and gf is homotopic to the identity on X. Now for maps a,b : A -> B to be homotopic, there must be some (continuous) map H : I * A -> B such that H_0 = and H_1 = b. So why does a deformation retract lead to a homotopy equivalence?

Let R : I * X -> X be a deformation retract and r = R_1, Y = r(X) so r : X -> Y. Then we get a homotopy equivalence between X and Y by the functions r : X -> Y and i: Y -> X the inclusion function (ie the identity function).

ri = id (definition of a retract) so done here
ir is the same as R_1 : X -> X so just use the homotopy H_t = R_{1-t} to get the equivalence to id (R_0=id by definition of deformation retract)
Agreed. For anyone interested in doing their own monthly signed AOSP builds for Pixel phones with OTA updates, take a look at a project that I built that fully automates the process in AWS: https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack.
This is also an example where the larger story is about emptying out the rural areas while the cities grow. Most of Japan's large cities have increased in population (or are flat) over the past 20 years. So, yes a smaller "working age" population but one that is centered around white-collar rather than agricultural work.
When you take the standard deduction on your return you are engaging in tax avoidance. When you invent a 3rd child that never existed you are engaging in tax evasion.
try to build in San Francisco, just try. The latest attempt was shot down because it would have shadow encroach eighteen percent of a city park, not even where kids congregate as its a two acre park next to a school [1]. This was after getting past every previous hurdle. As in, when anyone can block a private project nothing gets done. Oh you can try to put one up but you have to buy everyone off or so handicap your project it cannot be affordably built. Another horror story is the ever ongoing saga to build apartments by a laundromat owner [2]

America's housing project is simply because of government and the courts. Politicians through special interest groups which funnel money to their campaign and friends; namely highly paid positions with little more than a part time job, to courts which treat every opposing idea as having merit.

You're somehow leaving out the fact that Greece's debt/GDP ratio went up in good part because the true extent of Greece's sovereign debt and structural deficit was uncovered after the inception of thr bailout program, which by itself led to a higher debt ratio.

Also, having to reign in a double-digit deficit by cutiting the state's chronic overspending also lowered the GDP that was kept artificially high by injecting into the greek economy all that borrowed cash.

So, it's disgenuous to insinuate that Greece's bailout program caused any problem when you're actually referring to the natural consequences of:

1) finding out the true extent of Greece's overspending by fixing their accounting incoherences

2) the impossibility of continuing overspending well over 10% of the nation's GDP.

Right. Like that’s going to happen in an environment where shipping code on two weeks sprints is expected. Even in your perfect world where this does happen, it’s not like you could possible know what type of bottlenecks or usage patterns will happen until you get real users using your code.

Are you suggesting we go back to a waterfall approach and not get fast feedback and learn what works as you are developing?

This entire Assage debacle has been nothing but partisan shit flinging by people who read headlines then refine their opinion using the comments section instead of actually reading the articles/indictment and forming an opinion for themselves.

Nowadays when someone "reads" an article, they just skip to the comment section and unwittingly chose the highest voted memetic comment and adapt its opinion as their own, regardless of the facts laid by the article itself.

Sometimes those people go so far as to write their own articles that spread the questionable memetic idea, which is exactly what the OP's article is.

The truth is that Julian Assange is being indited for attempting to break into US gov computer systems. If there was no evidence he had done so, there would not be charges pressed. Nothing about this is a free speech matter.
Does anyone know of the implications of a year-round ice-free artic? Is the artic salvageable at this point? It seems evident that soon the artic will have a short period of being ice-free, kickstarting an inexorable process with yet longer periods of being ice-free.

You're approaching it rather theoretically. Yes, even a landline generates data and metadata, but do you feel watched when owning a landline the same way as when you see that you have like three different companies tracking you in every app or website?
