The "Assange situation" is not complex, and it's not one-off. He published numerous secret documents that were deeply embarrassing to the governments of the United States, United Kingdom, and many other countries. He is being targeted for entirely political reasons, and the cooperation of the British and Ecuadorian authorities is likewise politically motivated. In the case of Britain, the motivation is twofold. Assange released documents about the UK government's actions, and the government wants to maintain good relations with the United States. In the case of Ecuador, the motivation is better relations with the United States and access to IMF loans.

The persecution of Assange is not one-off, because it sets a precedent for future prosecution of journalists in the United States, and it establishes that journalists are in danger in any country that has an extradition agreement with the United States.

Given all the concern about the Hong Kong extradition law being used to target critics of the Chinese government, I would expect the same people who oppose the HK law to also vigorously defend Julian Assange against extradition to the United States for political crimes.

I think I should. My actual commercial work is still done with old fashioned HTML, my first couple of pet projects done with the new way of using HTML5 don't have perfect document outlines as I was still holding on to the old ways of doing stuff and are not my best work. Only now am I fully in my stride on doing actual lean HTML with a couple of projects I haven't fully finished.

One thing is that when you are no longer using presentational markup then you only really have content, so it is markup with context. So I think it is a finished project I need to be able to share rather than an example.

Again, false! This is highly dependent on:

1. What arch are you targeting.

2. What version of Linux are you trying to build? Mainline, stable, next?

3. What configs are you trying.

4. What version of clang are you using.

For example, pixel 2 kernel is arm64, 4.4 stable kernel, limited configs, and clang-4.

Things for the most part are pretty green with released versions of clang. There are some long tail configs or combos of the above, but it's pretty minimal and we have a good handle on them.

(Personally, I avoid any jobs requiring security clearance, despite respect for a lot of those jobs, and respect for the people who take on that extra burden on their freedom out of a sense of duty. One reason I don't think it's for me is that my earlier youthful privacy&security advocacy had me talking on topics that I don't think I could've, were there any perception that I might've been exposed to privileged information. Apparently, I like talking, and occasionally I've managed to randomly think and say something that needed to be said, and I figure that's one way I'm useful.)

Interesting. I'm really surprised that auto parts don't track vehicle assembly more closely.

But, in your second reference, see the "back data" graph links for 1990-2019, in any of the manufacturing categories.

I would expect that figures for the sixties and seventies would be much higher still, as much of the automation and de-industrialisation was through the eighties. The seventies perhaps, as a pure guess, the maxima, and a crash from the oil crisis. It's a shame the data goes back no further. I suspect the eighties, where their graph in the first link starts may have set the minima after decline, with slow growth since.

Huawei Considering Launch of Blockchain Services in Latin America
He provides no evidence to back up his claim that it's a drug crisis at root. I walk through Seattle every day and there's definitely an aspect of drug use, but it's many many other things, including people too poor to afford a house here, people with mental issues, along with a lot of drug use. Then I noticed the name of this author, a kind of frustrated conservative who ran for office in Seattle and claimed basically that people were really mean to him - so take his claims with a giant tub of salt.

Regardless of the situation, the city is not really coping very well with this challenge. We should just do what Utah did, focus on getting housing for everyone, then you can send treatment to them. I can't quite understand why we can't arrest and hold people to longer sentences who commit crimes dozens of times in Seattle. This is separate from just arresting people for drug use, which never solves anything. Get housing, get enough services, treatment for people and also police and other services. That is how we deal with this.

I totally agree. I guess since you have to use more those areas involved in language and rational thinking, I find much more easy to say emotional content in a foreign language. You feel more detached of what you are saying.

Tldr: It's easier to say "I love you" or "I hate you" in a foreign language.

that doesn’t mean the situation isn’t approaching dire levels for the current ecosystem. so the current wording might be necessary. it’s just that the scientist in me picked this up.

The original Hebrew version is also not that original.

The Hebrew Bible we have was written in the time of the 2nd temple we know that some passages were changed as the Dead Sea scrolls have slightly different versions also in Hebrew and we also know that some books that ended in it were likely written in Persian during the Babylonian exile period and then translated back into Hebrew.

The Hebrew bible also omits some Jewish works like the books of the Macabees/Heshmonaim which were likely written in Greek.

While the Hebrew bible has pretty much remained untouched for 2000 years its hard to know exactly how many edits and translation it had prior to that.

It’s also important to note that as it was a work of litterateur the language could’ve have easily changed.

For example a Platonic relationship during the time of Plato was an insult a tongue and cheek jab at the fact that Plato liked to take his students to a cave for some private tutoring; however the use of the term today is drastically different than shtooping young boys.

That's totally fair, and I don't disagree. If someone's interested enough in the sport to purchase a dog specially bred for it, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them do the right research and reference checks. They're probably already going to meets/trials to watch, and can ask handlers there for reputable breeders. That said, both of those sports have mixed breeds competing and thriving. I personally do agility with my mutt, although I recognize that I'd need a different dog and a lot more time/money to do really well. My point was, most dog owners aren't trying to compete at that level - in any dog sport.

I think Hacker News might need to take a chill pill and stop calling complete industries dishonest with so little to back it up.

Memory is malleable and false memories can be created in people's minds even when they know it is happening. If the police are showing pictures and telling a narrative then that will eventually be adopted as the person's memory.
Why is jail necessarily the best answer? Fines and restitution, community service, court mandated counseling, "night jail" (must report to jail after work) and other tools would work better for preventing and correcting the harms of many (if not most?) types of nonviolent crime. Traditional jailing creates all kinds of assorted harms that actively prevent rehabilitation and which probably don't provide much deterrence.

Your suggestion of reform is indeed necessary, but some of the things I suggested above would fall outside of what most people would consider "jail." We are stuck on this singular "solution", and why? It doesn't seem to be very effective.
> I tend to think it's lack of regulation in the pharma space.

According to what I've read online though, most of the illegal opioids are not prescription, but rather from Chinese manufacturers via Mexican drug cartels.

I think that the thing that started this was the demand for psychedelics and pain killers among the rich tech workers of Silicon Valley, LA, SF, Seattle, etc, which have infected the west coast with the false notion that drugs are a 'victimless' crime. I've personally witnessed many very educated, very rich college students, take opioids -- not from a doctor's prescription -- but because they thought it would be fun. Perhaps they are not the addicts talked about here, but the fact is that their ability and desire to pay thousands for this stuff means that the drug cartels are enabled, enriched, and now have an incentive to market to less individually-wealthy, but larger markets.
Rufo isn't interested in an open consideration of the facts. I think he just wants to curry conservative support.
I have been saying this for a while and the activists in San Francisco get so offended. 90% of the people on the street in the Bay Area are on meth or heroin. Their addiction is the bigger issue than housing affordability. The reason so many homeless have come to California lately is that California cities give cash handouts almost immediately. We are absolutely being taken advantage of and really we are making the problem worse.

> [...] which is what for example .NET does.

.NET is the platform. There are different implementations for it doing different things.

JIT compilation is still different to AOT even without profile guided optimizations. Simple example: In AOT code you can't embed pointers easily and is often solved with indirection (e.g. something like GOT in ELF).
All the time, and BTW, I didn't say JITs sacrifice soundness but that they don't require proof of soundness. That's different as I'll show.

Let me give you two common examples: virtual calls and branches. A JIT will speculatively devirtualize and inline a virtual call at a particular callsite if it has only encountered one or a small number of concrete instances, even if it can't prove that those are the only instances that can be encountered at that callsite. This is still sound because the JIT will emit a trap that will trigger if an unknown target is ever encountered, in which case it will deoptimize the compilation, go back to the interpreter and then compile again under new assumptions. Another example is branch elimination. If a JIT only ever encounters the program taking one side of a branch, it will only compile that branch (and introduce a trap), even if it can't prove that only that side will ever be taken.

As a side note, GraalVM is quite usable for real world stuff nowadays. Here's an example of running a Clojure web service with Graal that provides JSON endpoints, talks to the database, and does session management: https://github.com/yogthos/graal-web-app-example

The same app can be run on the JVM or compiled statically using Graal. The JVM version takes around a 100 megs of RAM, and has a significant startup time. The Graal version weighs in at 7 megs, and starts up instantly.

I'm not sure that comment is helpful.

Clearly the parent is saying that people start out with some sort of support network, and are likely to have transitioned from their own accommodation to sleeping on a couch or in a spare room, and _then_ become homeless. That in that process those with the most extreme problems lose, one way or another, their useful support network.

To counter the parents claim we'd need solid figures of those who went from self-supported accommodation direct to being homeless on the street without any support from family or friends [or others].

Shelter did an indicative, not statistically significant report in which they say

>"Half of the people we spoke to ended up rough sleeping because they had
nowhere else to turn. This could be because they didn’t know anyone who was
able to accommodate them, or they had burned bridges with friends and families
due to drug and/or alcohol misuse." (Ch.3, "Summary report - On the Streets", from [2])

Half isn't quite the large majority the parent claims, but this isn't a statistical survey. I think it gives enough support that one should need to prove them wrong with well supported figures.

This page [1] has some relevant stats which I think largely support the parents position but the question of "did you arrive as a rough sleeper from being hidden homeless" doesn't seem to be well shown in stats I could readily find.

”its own ill-fated OpenCL alternative.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL:

”OpenCL is an open standard maintained by the non-profit technology consortium Khronos Group.”

And yes, it started life that way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL#History:

”OpenCL was initially developed by Apple Inc., which holds trademark rights, and refined into an initial proposal in collaboration with technical teams at AMD, IBM, Qualcomm, Intel, and Nvidia. Apple submitted this initial proposal to the Khronos Group. On June 16, 2008, the Khronos Compute Working Group was formed with representatives from CPU, GPU, embedded-processor, and software companies. This group worked for five months to finish the technical details of the specification for OpenCL 1.0 by November 18, 2008. This technical specification was reviewed by the Khronos members and approved for public release on December 8, 2008.”

Apple first shipped OpenCL in August, 2009.

So, OpenCL may be ill-fated, but I don’t see why Apple would have to have gone with CUDA, which is Nvidia-exclusive, both in actual hardware, and, AFAIK, license-wise.

to some extent, it's a prisoner's dilemma. if all the different gangs can agree not to kill each other for territory, everyone involved is better off on average. but in the short term there's still a huge incentive to be the first gang to defect and take a bunch of territory. from the perspective of an individual actor, it can be rational to do something that decreases the size of the overall pie if you can take a large enough fraction for yourself.
