You more than likely don't 'have a condition', you more than likely wear clothes that generate static charge and shoes that insulate you from grounding.

I wore a new pair of trainers to work a few weeks ago and spent the entire day swearing as I received static discharge shocks every time I touched something grounded.
One of the victims' lawyer said a month ago when he left the embassy they still wanted to re-open the case:

"We are going to do everything we possibly can to get the swedish police investigation re-opened so that Assange can be extradited to Sweden and prosecuted for rape. No rape victim should have to wait 9 years to see justice be served." https://twitter.com/ElisabethMFritz/status/11162929511251804...
Well, we do also have the issue that by using energy we're able to hugely disrupt the natural world.

Not only in the sense of 'pollution' as such, but just completely changing ecosystems.

We could have a perpetual motion machine with zero emissions, and we'd still have to handle 7 billion people chucking straws in the ocean or whatever.

If we actually had an unlimited energy source we'd probably turn half of the planet into skyscrapers with farms in them or something.
3.5% for a single activity is actually quite a big deal, particularly for something that in the main is non essential.
But using semantic markup is good for reasons other than SEO (e.g. it's a must for accessibility). "White-hat SEO" just amounts to "producing useful content"--anything beyond that is essentially gaming the system.
I've used Workona which I like but it seemed to be slowing down my browser and so I uninstalled it (although I haven't tested this carefully). Is Tabtation any more performant?
~ You want thieves and rapists to freely live on my public pathways.

Those are some pretty extreme accusations to make at an umbrella group term such as "Homeless".

If your point of not prosecuting illegal campers is true, how does this relate to "Rapists and Thieves" not facing usual criminal proceedings?

In a personal side note, in many jurisdictions your blanket statements could be seen as incendiary towards a very vulnerable community.
A friend of mine knew the guy (one of the guys?) who was creating Cu2 at the time and we as nerds were laughing at it like: "You can't be serious, who would want to use this?!".

Same with startpagina.nl, a really basic portal that eventually was sold for a lot of money.

Or as Bill Hicks used to say: "Boy, do I NOT have my finger on the pulse of America."
> Can someone explain to me why the general public has ”turned” on Assange in the last few years?

I don't think the public has "turned" on him. (That is, I don't think he's more unpopular now than he was a year ago.) It's more like we forgot about him. That took away the teflon coating that let him escape international arrest warrants in a South American embassy, a privilege most of us wouldn't get.

This story is best explained by reversion to the mean moreso than extraordinary current events.
A Quantitative Approach is the more advanced text, iirc. Should probably start with the same authors' Introduction to.
Insofar as your objections are meaningful (in particular, I am not so sure about the last), it would seem they could equally be raised about non-simulation physical theories of the universe. Would that make those meaningless?

I would think that, on the contrary, the fact that you can raise these objections indicates that the simulation hypothesis is not without meaning, as does Scott Aaronson's argument that it is unfalsifiable[1] (note: he is not saying that that it is meaningless), and as does Bostrom's argument that if it is possible, we are likely in a simulation[2].

"it can be insulting"

Insulting, really? Somebody cares to try to explain you something and the word you can find is "insulting"?

It's like everyone owes it to you to chew knowledge in small enough bits that you can swallow them without any effort.

There was a price surge from 197[1] to 1996.

Taking the 25 year period from 1971 to 1996 and then the 20 year period 1996 to 2016, the CAGR in the first period was 7.6/6.7% and in the second period was only 4.6%/5.3% for 4-year public/private colleges respectively. Data: [0]

That data shows there was a higher rate of price increase (in nominal dollars) during the first period than the second. Now, general inflation was also higher in the first period (5.1%/6.9% CAGR of wage increases for men/women vs 2.5/3.4% in the latter period).

Taking the mathematically unsound step to average the public and private increases and average the wage increase rates for men and women, and compare the two, it seems that college costs rose 1.1% faster than wages in the first period and 2.0% faster than wages in the second period. Is that effect driven by college costs rising faster or wages rising more slowly?

I always like to mix in some false positives when completing Google's captchas. I identify yellow cars as school buses, occluded street signs as storefronts, valleys as rivers... They still let you in, up to a point.

It probably just makes their algorithms stronger in the end, like how when you randomly kick over Boston Dynamics' robot dogs, they eventually get better at balancing than if you had just let them be.

But I like to think I'm sticking it to them.
Big Bank Sucks. Bail Yourself Out with These Alternative Banking Options
"Pressing charges" may be a thing in US law, but it isn't elsewhere.

In many jurisdictions prosecutors don't need the permission, nor cooperation, of the victims to bring a case to court. This is especially important in crimes of sexual violence because the fear of retribution causes many victims not to report; and because some victims will be being coercively controlled by their partners.
OP here. I had been playing the NY Times' Spelling Bee until they required a subscription. Although the cost is modest, I decided it would be a fun exercise to implement for the command line. I'm using Python a lot for data analysis but this puzzle game was a fun way to explore some Python 3 built-in functions: any, all, next. I'm also proud that the code uses only built-in standard Python 3 libraries.

I've listed some ideas if anyone would like to add their thoughts, feedback, bugs - either here as comments, or at the repository issues page[0].

In this puzzle game, you have to build words using the letters in the hexagonal shape. Each word must be at least 4 letters and include the center letter. Letters can be used more than once. Each puzzle includes one "pangram", which uses all 7 letters at least once.

But in that respect it’s not very different from the hundreds of hazardous chemicals that are transported around the country every day.
Does the law actually say so? To what extent does "rape by lying" exist? I imagine "I'm actually not a doctor" or "let me just remove my makeup" don't count... How about not paying a prostitute after sex (assuming prostitution is legal), does it count as rape (she consented to sex on the condition of paying) or just theft? Are women that say they're on the pill but aren't, or that use the man's sperm to impregnate themselves after sex, rapists (edit: note that child support payments belong to the child, so rape victims still have to pay child support, no matter how unfair that might seem, although the rapist being jailed would still offer at least some satisfaction and dis-incentivize future crimes)?

Disagree. The reason fuel is so cheap to permit the cars burning gas is because it's priced artificially low. If you were to charge based on replacement value (it's almost priceless given the production time), the cost of fuel would go up massively, productivity would stop and Mr Trump (and all the other world leaders) would no longer be able to boast about their growing numbers. I'm not denying individual responsibility, that's vital too but the big change also has to occur at the top and a market that lives on growth is a problem.
Can you explain that gigantic non-sequitur to me?
Who is the general public? Clearly, him running away from the Swedish police was a bad thing to do. I also don't like him because he supported/supports Trump. However, prosecuting him for his journalistic work is insane!
But how long did the transition to those conditions take? We're changing the climate so fast that there is no chance for anything to evolve with the change.
Central control is efficient? Despite every government that tried to control the economy utterly failed? You will need to provide some solid source to claim this kind of things. The problem lies with the concept, not with how fast the loop happens.
The point is that a changing climate doesn't imply a specific policy must be adapted. The overall effect might even be positive.
I am not certain as to why you feel the need to ponder about the reasoning someone else might choose to take medication to alleviate issues in their life. In what way is it harmful to your life that others choose to use medication that you don't?

Psychology/Psychiatry is derided on HN frequently and any time a submission comes up about ADHD or any other mental illness, inevitably people will chime in about how they feel about medicating children or that people just need to make lifestyle changes.

Why is it awe inspiring that someone might use drugs to help alleviate what they see in themselves as a deficiency? Are painkillers taboo as well? Anesthesia for surgery? Coffee or Tea? These all affect the brain chemistry but perhaps they're on your approved list of ways in which drugs are allowed to interact with people's brains?

ADHD can not be fully encompassed with the idea that it's simply unorganized people that forget appointments. You are correct that there are strategies that people can employ to tackle that particular issue. You are incorrect in separating drugs away from other tools.

You are not required to take medication for your ailments or explore recreational drugs. You can choose to eschew all these things in your life. You don't need to denigrate people that choose a different path from you, though.

> In other words, you seem to be suggesting that all the mammals that lived during that era were under 10kg, which would be a great example of the unscientific spin I was talking about.

I'm suggesting nothing of the kind, but directly quoting from the wikipedia page you linked. Please stop putting words in my mouth.

I will note that the Wiki page on Coryphodon says: "These changes in size are thought to be linked to global climate change, with the size minimum in the Coryphodon lineage occurring shortly after Paleocene-Eocene boundary". Which appears to indicate clear evolutionary pressure to evolve smaller.

The pressure on mammals appears to have been consistently toward smaller size, seen in newly evolved species and the evolution of existing species. We already know that heat penalises larger mammals harder than the small, so that does not seem inconsistent.

You might have disproved the point that all mammals very less than 10 Kg, but Wikipedia states on the Coryphodon[0] that the size of the species also decreased, and that "these changes in size are thought to be linked to global climate change". So the general argument certainly seems to hold.

It also "had one of the smallest brain/body ratios of any mammal, living or extinct" so that may not be the best example of how this kind of environment might be fit for humans.

He was accused of having sex with someone who was asleep and therefore couldn't consent (and the lack of protection showed he was explicitly going against what he knew she wanted). This is rape in the UK and Sweden.

The first prosecutor decided to shelve the case. One of the victim's lawyers asked for this decision to be reviewed. A more senior prosecutor resumed the case.
from the article:

How is the data more secured by sending it to a news agency? Can someone explain? IMHO it’s the exact opposite, data is getting more eyeballs now, right?

I don't say "opt out of society". I say stay in the society, refuse to fly, and convince your friends/colleagues/bosses/employees to do the same.

Wound't that collective action include not flying? And what form do you imagine it will take - a government order that forbids flying and makes airlines illegal?

I would say refusing to join your team on a trip to that fancy conference of the year takes some courage. Surely not as much courage as violating segregation laws but still.
> There is not a positive way to tell people that will be forced to quit their homes, workplaces and properties when nuclear problems eventually arose ...

That is an enormous problem, but the problem there is that governments aren't being held accountable for forcing people out of their homes.

The Fukashima evacuation debatabley caused ~3 orders of magnitude more deaths than the Fukushima nuclear disaster ([0] see the sidebar for 2,000:1 figure and the opening paragraphs for the debatable part).

When the cure is that much worse than the disease, we have to ask why we are forcing people to evacuate.

Whenever the government enacts a policy there are the potential for statistical deaths. Approve a coal plant? Statistical deaths. Change safety standards? Statistical deaths. Drop speed limits? Statistical deaths. We can cope with some unidentifiable people being worse off. It happens all the time. The responses to nuclear risks are not only irrational, they are out of line with how we treat all other physical and chemical hazards.

Statistical illness and deaths from nuclear are not worse than any other health issue. This is a fantastic time to use the science to make decisions, and it isn't at all obvious to what standard the exclusion zones are being managed. When the gap in damage done by the response and the crisis is that large there is a lot of room for questions to be asked (I wish I spoke Japanese so I could look up some primary reports on the subject).

Let’s ignore the facts, or the surmises and ask the following: who do you think he should be popular with? The republicans who think releasing the Manning files means he should be in prison? The Democrats after he did everything he could to sabotage them? The progressives for whom his associations with Putin and Farage are beyond the pale? The tech cognoscenti who were complaining he had ruined WikiLeaks by making it all about him even before the rape allegations came out? Women?

I mean, there are still people who are fans, but it’s no mystery why he’s unpopular with many groupings.
Yup! This can get XmlHttpRequest in any environment that has it. Which means it's extremely easy to write code that works both in the main thread and a worker transparently.
Personally I prefer to distinguish between freedom of opinion and freedom of speech (the former is what is closer to what the german constitution actually says in german, to some degree). It's more explicit about what I think should be the standard instead of total free speech.

So in that view, yeah, my country doesn't have free speech. We have free opinions.
I was about to read it, and then saw they were citing Filliol, which put me off to say the list (the dude is completely discredited since he "broke" AES).

Also, interestingly, none of the authors seem to have left much footprints on the Internet, which is extremely odd at best, the sign of some kind of fraud at worst...

> whereas a unit equipped with only explosive Hellfires would be forbidden from making strikes in, say, a very crowded city thoroughfare, the same environment might be open season for a team with the R9X.

Leads me to wonder what kind of psychological damage we will (and already do) inflict upon populations with targets in their midst. Can you imagine living in a scenario in which your community is regularly bombarded by explosives falling from the sky, let loose by a supposed enemy which you will probably never even see? Horrible.
The UK already has an extradition request from the US. This would only delay it.
Seconded.

Meanwhile, there has been a simultaneous attack on outlets that might actually spit the truth out there: the recent "changes to Facebook's algorithm" resulting in outlets like MPN, Democracy Now, and Wikileaks go from regular 20k shares to the 7-900 range practically overnight is suspicious in the extreme.

I strongly recommend checking out the Cynefin framework: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynefin_framework

Knowing which context you're in provides a useful tool when choosing mental models to approach the problem.

Having said that, 99% of mental models is practice as adopting a mental model is often an emotional problem too.

For example, while Cynefin may suggest an iterative approach for complex domains, you'll still need to be emotionally able to deal with the natural outcomes of iterative problem solving

e.g. being comfortable making decisions with incomplete data, handling failure, communicating progress when there is no clear way to estimate scope.
> Why would the Obama administration go through the risk and difficulty of organising a breathtaking conspiracy to get at him, yet commute Chelsea Manning's sentence?

The description is taking of life. The definition is either killing or murder. Killing is broadly seen as not wrong, while murder is.

For example, there are laws against murder. But if, while defending yourself, the other is killed that is not considered wrong, in most cases.

You are right that taking life is taking life. And I would agree that a case could be made for murder in some cases with soldiers.

So the real question is is it killing a fetus or murdering a fetus?

No one debates there is life.
Web host trying to delete a competitor's Wikipedia?
Based on recent server logs (and ongoing related evidence), we believe that a recently growing WordPress hosting company from the U.S., specifically their "Chief Marketing Officer" (name withheld) is apparently trying to delete our Wikipedia page, via their "special" contact there, as we are a startup with similar services that has publicly challenged their past behavior.

This Wiki deletion popped up immediately after a recent dispute involving him and one of his associates, after the Wiki article being there for 7+ years with no incident, and after they began posting fraudulent user reviews about our company around the internet...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/LittleBizzy

When we posted a response on the deletion page, they were able to get another Wikipedia editor to delete our response (it now says "censored").

This also comes after their "CMO" took GPL code from our free WordPress plugins, without the required attribution, and used it as part of a premium WP performance plugin that he uses the web host's company blog to promote, despite it not actually being their product.

P.S. we didn't even create our Wikipedia article, it was created by someone years ago after we prevailed in a Section 230 case, and even spelled incorrectly for several years....

If you've ever wondered how so many Wikipedia "editors" can afford to sit there 24/7 without a full time job, here's a hint:

When I worked for an agency, I like to think they pitched 'white-hat' SEO.

The sell to clients was that there was no magic snake-oil involved, it was:

1. Make your website easy for Google to digest (which could involve some dev work, fixing bugs and markup, speeding up sites, mobile websites)

2. Understand what your market is and what they might be after (which led to a lot of analytical work)

3. Make quality content that makes you an authority (which involves content strategy, and cross-sells into copy and creative)

4. Properly promote your content for backlinks (the agency had a lot of success with promoting creative pieces to sites with strong link equity, such as Daily Mail Online etc.)

SEO is a dirty term, but a strategy for creating what is useful and can actually strengthen brands isn't evil.
