I still have the option to grab the TC at some point and potentially use both the a6400 and the TC in tandem (though I doubt the lens is quite sharp enough to justify that — odds are the 100-400 + 1.4x already has a circle of confusion bigger than the pixel sites on the APS-C sensor)

The reasons I went with the APS-C body instead of the TC is that I actively wanted a second body for other reasons. Namely: I wanted a smaller, lighter body that I'm happy to just leave in my backpack all the time, and I wanted the versatility of having two lenses available at all times for some situations.

Also, not the most amazing photo ever, but definitely a good example of the sort of sharpness you can get out of this — https://i.imgur.com/p9H42aG.jpg

So actively assisting in knowingly concealing a crime is no longer a crime, now?

> Whether Assange even tried to crack the password is just speculation, though.

Assange is quoted saying to Manning that he was "still trying, had had no luck yet, trying different tools".
The update for password issue is now available, can you give it a try?

Yes. I can't remember the details of entry since it was decades ago, but the end result was JavaScript snippets targeting browsers appended to the end of index page.

Adding extra servers like own cloud storage, email, IRC, etc. just expands your risk to more services (unless you internally separate them into namespaces/VMs, but then we're really far away from a "simple static hosting" territory)
UPS Store or a Fedex equivalent. Looks like their address is a FedEx location.
Was he? He's not in the US. He fled the UK's jurisdiction to accept the jurisdiction of Ecuador, but of course that carries the risk that Ecuador could change their mind and transfer him to another jurisdiction, which they did. Perhaps the next stop is Sweden, then the US. In any case all of it is being done through accepted legal channels.

If the US wanted him on our soil without regards to consequences, we could certainly have him in a US jail in a matter of hours.
Also, the FBI was given information about the dossier prior to the FISA application that should have made them think twice:

"Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for Hillary Clinton’s campaign was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media.

The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.

Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory." [1]

I have a theory about the Steele Dossier. I posit that Comey and company didn't bother with trying to verify it because they knew ahead of time it would bear out to be unproven. Why would they know that? Perhaps they helped Steele write it.

While you're broadly right about the legal authority, keep in mind that the founders can't do most things themselves and at a large corporation, can't even monitor most of what's going on themselves. Getting a large bureaucracy to do something complicated is not as easy as sending out an email. (The most obvious case of this is stopping leaks, which is not as easy as the CEO saying "don't leak stuff".) They can set OKR's but whether they get done or not isn't guaranteed.

Matt Levine occasionally writes about amusing corner cases where corporate governance gets metaphysical [1].

I would guess that Google and Facebook might not have turned out quite like the founders had hoped, though of course they have more power than anyone to turn things around.

I selected US as the location, and entered 1000 $/year as the income. With that money, you end up homeless and starve to death in the US, yet that website shows you as being in the top 58% globally. That one gets to die homeless in the 'richest nation to exist' seems like poor comfort.

So I don't think wealth measured in dollars is a good metric.
Seconded. Office culture is a dinosaur.

> That's not true but I don't have time to run through an exhaustive legal explanation of why. In a nutshell: the source is responsible for maintaining security of information, because third parties like journalists don't know the bounds of what is covered by confidentiality.

Guess what, your wrong and here's why: all gov't info is bound by confidentiality unless it's on a press release page.
Lol. If it were easy to become wealthy then we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. Besides, a social dividend implies that somebody else decides how to spend my hard-earned money. Fuck that!

Hey! So I released an update today which adds settings to change the font size for story title, text and metadata.

There will also be another update tomorrow available which will also add ability to edit the padding around elements to make it as compact as you like which lets you see more content on screen. Check out the screenshots of what it would look like after tomorrow’s update (note that all sizes will be fully customizable to your liking):

Let's try not to derail this with pointless semantic mincing; the comment above mine said this was "a bad HN submission". What else is that supposed to mean?

What salient difference could they mean between "A bad post" and "A bad HN submission", aside from them simply not having a coherent train of thought?
Personally, I think this should be part of the duties of the Office of the Inspector General, and the OIG should be shunted to being answerable to the either the Legislature, or the Courts.

Of course, I also believe that OIG should be hounding the Executive constantly, and have the authority and onus to declassify anything classified as soon as possible too. That means that classification stops being a privilege of the Executive, and instead becomes a maintenance item That requires periodic review to reclassify.
I also like pointing out that the United States has an Expatriation Tax. France's wealth tax was like if a US state tried to tax wealth, the wealthy would just move away.
>And that's probably something that needs to be argued in front of the Supreme Court. It is vital in a democracy that a government can be held accountable.

FTA:

"Julian, meanwhile, is being charged with having gone beyond the limits of journalism by helping Manning to conceal her identity with a new username. He is also charged with having encouraged her to give him documents."

And that's exactly my argument why he's not a journalist.

Specifically, my argument is that if you want to protect journalism from being criminalized, then criminal activity cannot be called journalism.
I own about a dozen 25-40 year old analog synths. It’s not quite as difficult as it sounds. Replacing jacks and button panels and switches and pots is straightforward soldering (it also helps that all the pads and traces are much larger and chunkier than modern gear), and anything more involved is not too expensive from various shops that specialize.

I certainly don’t recommend moving them unnecessarily or traveling/touring with them, though. They’re fragile.

The problem for me isn't the old ones - is the new ones. I want to see the new movies at my house. Yeah, there are films that I'd like to see at the cinema, but those are less than 5 per year. But if I could pay to watch a new film in the comfort of my home, I'd do it. As I can't, I'll probably download it for free.

That's a quote out of context with bad faith.

> The leak exposed massive corruption by Daniel Arap Moi, and the Kenyan people sat up and took notice. In the ensuing elections, in which corruption became a major issue, violence swept the country. "1,300 people were eventually killed, and 350,000 were displaced. That was a result of our leak," says Assange.

The leak informed major corruption by the government. That's what the leak has done and I don't think any person in their right mind argues it's a wrong thing to do.

Even the U.S. has whistle blower protection laws to allow such leaks. I'd argue that this would be a very good example of WikiLeaks doing good.

I come from a corrupt, third world country (Iran), who has recently had it's share of corruption and violent election issues.

Anyone exposing those crimes of the government would be a champion. What happens after the leaks, the uprising and violence, is not the responsibility of whistle blower but people who commit those specific crimes.

No, first I have made well under $20k annually. Using $20k as my income is, at best, a misreading of my comment.

Second, that income supports three adults. While homeless, I knew other homeless people who had a higher per capita income than us.

Currently, I have reason to believe that I'm one of the poorest people in the building I live in.

I'm pretty damn poor for an American.

You are also ignoring my previous statement that I've seen comments here from people from third world countries.

My essential point is that, no, not all people reading HN are rich. I have no problem agreeing that most (more than 50% of) people here are well off. That seems like a reasonable assertion.

But it doesn't take much to indicate that your addition of "if not all" is almost certainly not true.
How do you know that 6D AI uses deep learning to predict depth maps?

I'm very familiar with their work (they're doing a great job), but the demo video you linked appears to be a photogrammetric-based approach. You can tell because highly-textured surfaces are readily mapped, but low-texture regions remain unmapped, despite high coverage by the camera.

Maybe they use learned features for things like persistent AR, but I'm quite certain that they do not use deep learning to predict depth maps ab initio.

The "US" didn't lose. Nixon lost because he went up against the establishment powers who backed the NYTimes. So the "US" won.

The supreme court isn't an "independent judiciary". They are part of the power structure. The supreme court is a political court filled with political appointees. It's why appointments to the supreme court are political fiascos.

Somehow I don't think assange is going to get the same treatment as the nytimes since he doesn't have the backing of political or media bigshots that the nytimes does.

Assange is the enemy of both the republican and democratic parties. He is the enemy of the nytimes, wapo and all establishment media. Assange will get no more a fair trial in the US than a ugyhur would get in a chinese court.

Just like the Pentagon Papers ruling was a sure thing long before Nixon decided to go after the NYTimes. Assange's fate is sealed.
Can't say why it was downvoted to oblivion. But I personally don't know what the right answer is. We already rely on SCOTUS to tell us what the First Amendment really means and how it applies, since as written it just says "Congress shall make no law..." which is kinda specific. So it seems like we're past the point where we can interpret any other part of that clause literally.

Now, all disclaimers given, I figure the Constitution ought to apply to anyone within it's jurisdiction, which to my mind means that if you are subject to our jursdiction for criminal purposes, you're subject to our constitution for it's protections as well.
That's the point of extradition agreements. If we're worried that Brazil's Senate has passed morally incompatible laws and wants to extradite folks from the US, then we won't agree. The State Department is (or tries to be) on top of any foreign legislation that would change our agreements.
>The word "classified" means it's not intended for public consumption. Do you imagine that governments should not have the ability to keep information secret? How do you think that would work out.

Some information, like the location of and launch codes for nuclear weapons, names of sources in hostile nations, etc absolutely should be secret.

I don't think that because "governments need secrets" we should set up a system where the government can classify something, rendering it unable to be reviewed by the courts, as described in the article I linked to.
Oh, ok. This is news to me. Things are moving so fast!

Even if guilty and they can prove it, a Swedish jail is probably nicer than a US one and I doubt he would go down for longer for the alleged crimes in Sweden than for those in the US. What was it - sex without a condom? Versus the espionage in the US?
Government's should indeed be able to have secrets, but few, far between, and with a heavy burden should that secrecy come that it not be tempted to abuse that power.

You can get MitM on a smaller scale by simply spoofing WiFi SSIDs.

These days HSTS should stop most of that.

HSTS has been adopted by the big ones, (e.g. gmail, paypal, lastpass). I'd say these are also the ones where it might work out to drop a pineapple in some NYC coffeeshops.
It isn't widely deployed though, so it'll still do some damage.

Really, sir. A strong breeze...
The Supreme Court is part of the government — you mean the executive? Of course that could be a situation, that’s ostensibly why the founders separated the 3 branches, including giving SCOTUS life terms to increase their independence.
You miss the point. If Sweden's true motivation lay in doing something outside the legal system, what on earth was the protracted legal process for unrelated allegations of offences committed in Sweden all about? And if Assange's true motivation was fear that the Swedes were unusually willing to act outside rather the legal process rather than within it, why was he so ambivalent about this threat that he chose to live there and stayed there until his lawyer received notification legal proceedings against him had reached the stage where he was due to be charged?

It's certainly amusing to see Assange fans rewrite history to make the UK the good guy when it comes to not cooperating with the US over extraordinary renditions (or indeed ordinary ones). Even the UK government wouldn't make that claim.
It's not as if Netflix isn't trying, it's just that the movie industry as a whole is determined not to cooperate.

This sucks to see from YC. So many of us around the world look to YC as an accessible version of American prosperity. America is an exclusive and very rich club however.

I know things have changed a lot in America in the last few years, but I didn't realize how pervasive the nationalistic mental model had become.

> Did Jeff Bezos put in a million times as much effort as a typical minimum wage worker?

No, but he did make a million times more risky bet than the typical minimum wage worker. He quit a lucrative job at a financial company to start a company where he owned 100% of nothing and he has held onto that stock for 23 years. Common financial wisdom is to diversify your investments but instead, he took a massive pay decrease to start a company in the hopes that the stock would one day pay off, then held onto the stock of his company and led it to the massive valuation it currently has. He could have cashed out at any time but he didn't because our system rewards those who take risks/keep investing.

If you massively taxed outsized earnings and/or capped it, he probably would have never even started the company because why would you take the extreme risk of doing a startup when most of them fail? He probably would have just stayed at the financial company and if he did do the startup, then he probably would have cashed out when the taxes/cap got too large and retired instead of working to continuously increase the company's value which increases everyone's standard of living.

They meant that it is a good blog post (likely - not specifically stated), but that when posted on HN, will likely inspire bad comments. I interpreted your comment as conflating the concepts 'post' and 'submission' - the difference I saw was that I read 'post' with a non-HN context (a post on an external website), but submission with a HN context (specifically, a submission on HN).
The source of your confusion is your conflation of a criminal government with the country itself.

As someone who spent my first career in both high-level policy analysis and research into social interventions and also consulted with and helped run multiple non-profits doing direct work with measurable outcomes the idea that it is easy to fund this type of work is ludicrous to me. The lengths I've seen small-medium size non-profits go to stretch a dollar would humble any VC talking about maximizing a runway.
Yes, but in both cases this is because the JS runtimes (v8 in particular) makes it really difficult to feel okay with unconstrained control flow. The relooper may have been an influence but it was primarily pressure from the v8 people (I was in these meetings)

I'm less certain on my memory but I recall that Spidermonkey was more easily able to do fancier things with control flow.
>> (I realise there's a deduction for taxes you've paid overseas).

Sort of. It depends on which country you live in and if that country has a tax treaty, which applies to 68 [1] of the world's 195 countries. If you're living in a tax treaty country then you pay the greater of the US tax or the local tax. If you're living in a non-treaty country you pay taxes to both countries on all your income. The US excludes the first ~100K of foreign income.

Complications arise when you start a business abroad as a US citizen because then you're the proud owner of a controlled foreign corporation and that's its own special brand of disappointment.
