I do, that's why I'm saying this. Sweden doesn't extradite people for political crimes. And certainly not to countries where they might face extreme punishment, like the death penalty. Sweden also didn't extradite Edward Lee Howard, who was an actual spy, rather than a journalist.

Neither one of those candidates had anywhere near majority support. The Democratic party made some changes since 2016 to make it harder for a Bernie-like candidate to be elected, but will still allow for any candidate with a majority of primary votes to be selected over the party's direct influence.

We are always spoon fed the Eisenhower's remarks regarding the "Military Industrial Complex" but I am quite curious as to how many of you (American or not) have even heard about, much less read in full, president Truman's op-ed in the Washington post, dated Dec. 22, 1963.

Ooohhh, that's quite on point actually. Guess what Assange disclosed plenty of, at great risk to these sources' safety? He is quite far from any sort of genuine journalistic ethics, and I'm not going to complain if he were to be held responsibile for these actions.

(And yes, he used to claim, with no basis in reality whatsoever, that these sources were self-serving for the most part and thus had it coming for them...or something, honestly it's hard to even guess at a coherent argument from his unhinged claims. By now though, I think we all can agree that this was BS. He has garnered an extensive track record of optimizing his "leaks" for shock value while minimizing effort, and disclosing sources' identity does fit the pattern.)

That's a completely different case, though. That's deportation of asylum seekers to their country of origin. Very questionably handled, but still, the UK has also deported people for bad reasons.

Either way, extradition is a very different thing.

Though the Boomers have been a bit haughty, they're not the worst out there by any means. In the history of the US, the Trancendental[0] and Gilded[1] generations of the antebellum South were literal slavers. We're no where near US Civil War II.

If you look at ancient Roman history, the romans of the Marian Reform era[2] really botched the republic. When they came into their adulthoods, all hell broke loose with Sulla and the like and their kid's generation (that of Cesar) gave up the ghost and turned to Empire. There has been a LOT said about the lumbering fall of the Roman Republic, and any form of generationalism is likely not applicable to the patricians of that age or culture. But, as THoR states[3], that era of 'the storm before the storm' is dripping with relations to our current era.

This is specifically asking for "Government 2.0" startups. I imagine if they framed that as for the world that would be quite the can of worms and potentially interpreted as calling for global governmental overthrow.

It's reasonably safe to say "oh, god, the US Has Issues and please help us with it." It's pretty widely accepted that America is shite for a wealthy, developed country by quite a few metrics.
One thing that's holding me back is that my early 2014 maxed-out 13in Macbook Pro model is still pretty great. I find it better than the 2018 I use at work. Better keyboard, MUCH better trackpad (although I'm using the mouse more these days) and performance-wise, I barely notice any difference...

The battery is nearly dead. Maybe worth it for me to have it serviced and just keep using it for some more time.
Stephen King’s Book on writing has a few fun quotes which seem related. Here are some samples:

On protecting your focus/writing space: “The space can be humble (probably should be, as I think I have already suggested), and it really needs only one thing: a door which you are willing to shut.”

More on the importance of your physical space: “put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down there to write, remind yourself why it isn’t in the middle of the room. Life isn’t a support-system for art. It’s the other way around.”

Hey Hacker News,

I am Victor, the CTO of Truework (https://www.truework.com), a startup providing an alternative to Equifax / TheWorkNumber.

We are working to change the way employment & income information is shared by employers with a more privacy focused approach where you, as an employee, decide if you want to give the information with the requester.

I started this company after I found out that Equifax shared my employment and income information without my consent when I was working at LinkedIn...

I've been trying out a slight variation on todo.txt format, for a lightweight way to prioritizing and scheduling things I should spend time on, including bumping tasks to the next day (to narrow down what I can do today). I have a bunch of low-priority tasks that have been getting bumped for maybe a year, and sometimes I remove tasks that I've been bumping for a while and seem like they'll never be worth doing. https://www.neilvandyke.org/todotxt/

Empty email inbox is another. Stuff in the inbox is stuff I either haven't yet read, am dealing with immediately, or haven't yet decided whether to star (for attention later) before "archiving". I have a search folder that shows everything in the archive that's starred. (The archive gets purged periodically, after some time has passed, and once I've resolved all the starred messages.) I usually start checking email first thing when I wake up, but am careful to leave stuff in the inbox until after I'm sure I've woken up fully (had a decaf, exercised).

For things to very quickly note in the moment, and possibly deal with someday later, I have a very simple Emacs package that quickly creates a timestamped text "document" file in some category directory. This can also be good for not getting distracted thinking about problems to solve: you've quickly captured the data you might need, without distraction or even worrying about grammar or format, so you don't have to deal with it further right now. https://www.neilvandyke.org/emacs-qd/

I don't see how it could ever happen.

It's arguable that democracy and government accountability in the US ended in the early 1800s. If it ever existed at all, really.

I mean, consider history. The New Deal was arguably appeasement to forestall revolution. We finally elected a black president, who had cultivated almost a "black power" reputation in Chicago, and he ended up barely more liberal than Nixon.
is there evidence that there presently exist people who challenge the super wealthy who would be immediately and obviously affected by the tax?

Not sure why you're surprised. Startups often don't have much in the way of insider controls for data in their database at launch. Debugging production issues when you don't have root can be pretty inconvenient. Employees are trusted and insider threats tend not to be part of the threat model until they have more employees and more to lose.

But Snapchat has been around a while and clearly does have some internal controls over this. Not good enough, apparently.

I keep hearing about the demise of Tesla due to its inability to deliver the $35k car.

Tesla's inability to profitably build Model 3s at the projected base price of $35,000 means that sales volumes will inevitably fall short of projections

The truth is, no one that's buying a Tesla Model 3 cares if it is $35k, $38k or even $40k, The Model 3 is an aspirational purchase. If their dream car of the future isn't available at the $35k price, the Teslarati will pay the extra $3k, $5k or even $7k to get one. This will actually help bouy Tesla's revenue numbers.
it _is_ PR

Given this;

And this;

>'What ministers and MPs believe is that Mr Javid is attempting to smooth the way for the Americans to take the cases by letting them know that the UK will not, for once, kick up a fuss about the death penalty.'

>'In other words, this is all part of a deal. And some sources suggest this is a deal with precedent, that this is not the first time the UK has turned a blind eye towards its death penalty policy.'

>'The Security Minister, Ben Wallace, told MPs that it had happened before but not while he has been in his job.'

>'He explained that little-known guidance to ministers, known as the Overseas Security and Justice Assistance guidance, that was last updated January 2017, allowed the Home Secretary to make an exception to the rule.'

>'It states "written assurances should be sought before agreeing to the provision of assistance that anyone found guilty would not face the death penalty" but "where no assurances are forthcoming or where there are strong reasons not to seek assurances, the case should automatically be deemed 'High Risk' and FCO Ministers should be consulted to determine whether, given the specific circumstances of the case, we should nevertheless provide assistance".'

There is reason to strongly suspect that no such concrete guarantee exists and it is in fact entirely down to the personal whims of whomever currently happens to occupy the Home Office, while the Foreign Office is busy keeping an image going of something entirely different. As is tradition.

This is an interesting concern for the big companies because a lot of bulk grocery items in the US are generic. Like, when I buy bulk peanuts they're just peanuts, not Planters™ peanuts. I've noticed that a grocery store near me house has laundry and dish soap in bulk dispensers, which has a brand on it, but I think the containers are unbranded. This would be a big problem if Tide™ were sold that way. Another problem for the big companies is keeping people from putting other brands in the nice reusable packages.

I didn't say the US is the most censored country. I just said we have to deal with censorship here too.

Once again, you harp on censorship. I'm against it too. But what does that have to do with what we are talking about? I don't like censorship in the US but that doesn't mean I'm going to support the chinese government over the US government. For some strange reason, you seem to believe that just because people don't like their own government, they'll support foreign governments. That's not how life works. Every citizen in every country has gripes against their government, but that doesn't mean they would welcome foreign intervention in their own country.

And if the chinese people don't like their government then let them deal with it. Not sure who you are or what your agenda is that you think "we could help". Who are "we" that we have to interfere in other countries?

I'm american. I complain about the government, the establishment press and censorship all the time. What are you? You seem to claim to be american but want to "help" the chinese people overthrow their government. And for someone who claims to be american, you seem to claim to know how the chinese think and want. I suspect chinese people know what chinese people think and want. It's as strange as a chinese person saying they know what americans think and want. How would they know?

Assange was refused the ability to travel to Ecuador (a country that he became a citizen of) from the UK, which might be a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (Article 44) -- though I'm not a lawyer:

> The receiving State must, even in case of armed conflict, grant facilities in order to enable persons enjoying privileges and immunities, other than nationals of the receiving State, and members of the families of such persons irrespective of their nationality, to leave at the earliest possible moment. It must, in particular, in case of need, place at their disposal the necessary means of transport for themselves and their property.

There is an argument to be made that since he is not embassy personnel he isn't granted any such rights (in fact that's the most likely explanation).

But then again, there is some grey area here -- in the 1984 someone in the Libyan embassy in the UK shot into a crowd killing a police officer[1]. The UK police weren't granted access to investigate whether the individual who did it was embassy personnel (and thus under diplomatic immunity) or not. The UK then cut diplomatic ties with Libya and all the personnel were forced to leave and return to Libya. However, if the UK had the legal right to refuse passage for non-embassy personnel then surely they would've done so and captured all non-embassy personnel for questioning. But they didn't do that.

Those are asset taxes (with the exception of Italy's 0.15% foreign investment value tax) and it's not hard to hide wealth in liabilities/investments. The über wealthy would barely be affected by such laws should they be enacted in the US while those most affected would be the unlucky few who managed to buy a family sized home in a Californian metro suburb and farmers. I know the "inhereted wealth (estate) taxes kill family farms" is a Republican trope but a tax on assets would disproportionately affect those who own real property and outside of the wealthiest urban centers and their elite suburbs, that would be people who own hundreds or thousands of "cheap" acreage. I have a friend who recently took over his family's 1,200 acre, certified organic dairy farm and a 0.75% asset tax would almost assuredly have him call it quits and sell off to a regional Wal-Mart-tier agribusiness. He only nets ~$100k/yr off of property assessed at $2m and lopping ~$15k/yr off his take home income would be enough incentive, in my opinion, for him to go back to hos $80k/yr industrial equipment sales job.

> Assange let himself be used by the Russians, either knowingly or naively

What if Assange was being "used" by the United Nations Human Rights Council, or by Canada, or Oxfam, or Letsie III, or Burger King? The premise here appears to be that the Russians are somehow evil. The US isn't at war with Russia and Assange isn't a citizen of either state.

In any case, how was he "used" by Russia? Isn't this sort of leak exactly the kind of thing that Assange and Wikileaks have always stood for? Do you think he'd not have leaked the info if the Russians weren't a factor?

> a lot of people in the US believe it is good for the US government to have absolute power in the world

Seriously? Name one person making this argument? Perhaps you are just misusing the phrase "absolute power". Typically this is used to refer to the unrestricted power of a monarch or dictator. The US doesn't even have this power within the US. It's a childish fantasy (as you say) to think the US has this "in the world" generally.
