> Also holding down a hardware key to get to accented characters, oh fuck, how is that ergonomic?

I think it's a good addition for when you very occasionally need to type a particular accented character, since you can visually see the options. Of course if you are going to type it a lot you're better off learning the Option key combo.

For instance I would have to look up how to directly type "ł" since I rarely need to type a Polish name... but I can get it in 1 second by holding down "l". Very handy!
That's the reason the prosecutor cites.

The evidence has been weakened by the time factor

- Nine years have passed. Time plays a role here. The oral evidence has been weakened because such a long time has passed. Memories weaken because of natural reasons, says Persson

I.e. the prosecutor says that because Assange evaded prosecution for such a long time, he cannot be prosecuted any more.

there are multiple definitions in active use, so that's another problem.
At least one of the narrators (who were all American) did a Chinese accent for some sections of Xenocide, and I felt that was the wrong move, considering that the characters were speaking to each other in their native language, not Chinese characters speaking English.
How does that prosecutor sleep at night knowing they lie for a foreign government? I also thought Sweden was supposed to be one of the countries that actually cared about human rights, too.
The group that invented suicide bombings aren’t terrorists?

If he is released from UK jail he can hop onto a ferry and go to mainland EU. There he could travel to anywhere within the Shengen zone. I'm not sure about western countries, but Poland(as well as other eastern countries I believe) will not extradite anyone anywhere unless the crime is also considered a crime here, there is no possibility of death penalty, and there is strong evidence submitted that makes a conviction likely. By its definition treason against a country can be committed, by a citizen of that country. Assange is not a US citizen so he can't commit a crime of treason against US - end of story. US could try to get him on some other charges - espionage perhaps, but there would have to be strong evidence which allegedly is severely lacking. This is why it is very important for US to have Assange extradited from UK. UK has a "special" extradition deal with US that simplifies the procedure.
Correct. Representation is the difference here.

Although these days the lines seems to be blurring into democracy since corporations are getting larger horizontally and vertically.
So 10gbps but whats the latency to a standard site/company that isn't near the Australian continent?

So whats the response time for a JP, US, and EU ?
Yes(+), but that has nothing to do with statute of limitations - if something's going to the extreme of retroactive criminal law, there will be a clause which says "and the statute of limitations does not apply".

(+) arguably it isn't, in ECHR juristictions
Weren’t the corporate tax cuts supposed to help with this? Has it been helping? Isn’t the us corporate tax rate now basically competitive with other countries?

>That's different that wearing a tracking device ok your arm.

An activity tracking device on your arm can't determine what medication you are taking or what diagnosis you have unless it has a secret microphone that is recording every conversation and uploading it for analysis, which is what the concern the person you replied to quoted.
There definitely are things you can do, but in my experience when you feel this way it is really hard to do them.

I've been reading and listening to a few things that are helping me. One thing I've been learning about recently are the body's responses to chronic stress, such as the release of cortisol in the body, and the long term damage that can do. And about allostatic load, which helps explain how it gets perpetually worse as time goes by.

The author's experience is real of course, but it doesn't sound like she is an authority to discuss if it can be cured or not.
> 2. Even the case of bounded numerator and bounded denominator would preserve more of the nice mathematical properties of rational arithmetic than IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic does (e.g. the associativity of addition).

It does not preserve associativity of addition. If a = MAX_INT/1, b = 1/1, c = -1/1, then a + b is Infinity, and (a + b) + c is therefore also Infinity, while b + c is 0, so a + (b + c) is MAX_INT/1.
>He chose conditions that were arguably worse in most respects but one (access to communication/internet) than a Swedish prison.

Are Nordic prisoners allowed to walk out the front door wheneever they choose?

Last time I checked, prison required removing freedom. You have to 'escape' prison, not walk out the front door.

Just saying, this bad rationalization only works on people biased towards Julian and looking to excuse his rape and the lack of justice therein.

Here's the killer point: if Nordic prisons are better, why didn't Julian stay there instead?

I bet he wanted internet, unlimited guest visits, London takeout, and the freedom to leave whenever he wanted, as well as being able to avoid a court trial and never have to be declared guilty.

"Justice!" (to the tune of "The Aristocrats!")
Or they never had any strong charges to begin with and the whole plan was to hand over Assange to the US, just Assange said.
I have much to say about this subject because I've been working in software development for about 17 years. I'll try not to bore you. I've had several times where I had panic attacks and didn't realize what was wrong until later on. I never took many sick days, just had to up and quit a couple of jobs with little or no notice. So far, GERD has been the one long term health issues I have from it. I took Omeprazole for years and then recently we all found out that it's carcinogenic. That's great! I quit taking it daily about a year ago, but still need it sometimes. The damage is done. You can't un-ring a bell. I spend a lot more of my free time on fitness now, but it's not a cure all.

Pacing yourself is a great concept, however, management pushes harder and harder and they don't see you as a person, they see you as a replaceable piece of meat. Developers today lack a solid seat at the corporate table and the situation has only gotten worse in recent years due to the importation of so many H1Bs who are desperate to earn money and stay in the US. The importation of people who can't/won't push back or ever say no puts everyone at health and financial risk.

Here is a ground-level view of corporatism in all its Satanic glory. If corporations do end up ruling us, once again becoming able to project violence, regular people are in for a very hard time.
Fitbit is a terrible product. Enjoy paying smart watch prices for a tiny screen that tells you your heart rate.
> 1. It does not use a predetermined finite set of rational numbers. It uses a bigint numerator and a 64-bit denominator.

This is rather ugly for it is not closed by inversion.

> 2. Even the case of bounded numerator and bounded denominator would preserve more of the nice mathematical properties of rational arithmetic than IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic does (e.g. the associativity of addition).

I do not see how this can possibly be the case. How do you define rational arithmetic with bounded denominators so that addition is associative?

> 3. While the latter could be implemented in hardware, it is not implemented in hardware. The defaults for literals prefer the choice that is implemented in hardware, IEEE 754 floating-point. This is a premature optimization.

Alright, but this view is rather subjective, and only valid if you find rational arithmetic more natural than floating point (which many people do not). Regardless of efficiency, using rational arithmetic with bounded integers in numerical computing would be extremely unnatural to most analysts, they would always need to "normalize" the computations so that all the numbers do not become too small, and a lot of ugly tricks that are not needed in floating point.

Besides some trivial decimal arithmetic (that can be easily implemented in fixed point for the common use case of counting money), I do not really see the point of the rational representation with bounded ints. Of course, when the denominator is allowed to be a bigint, this is very useful in math, but you'll agree this is a completely different context.
Title should really be 'US takes hand out of Swedish puppet now that its free to extradite Assange'

The take away here is stay anonymous when whistle blowing or handling leaks. Don't talk to anyone, don't say anything just take a USB stick to an Internet cafe while disguised and host a torrent.

Then email the press the magnet link using a throw away email service.
>Network services are allowed to repeatedly broadcast the same packets, and it does so for legitimate purposes.

To add to this, even if it wouldn't be for legitimate purposes, a device shouldn't enter a boot loop because another device is malfunctioning.
Ideally I would prefer a SmartWatch that has AsteroidOS [0] preinstalled that on the software-level is free from Google.

Such a watch might be very difficult to obtain. Even by flashing existing Android Wear devices not only it requires several steps, but the unfortunate lack of apps might be a big turn-off for many people.

Either that or my money will be going to an Apple Watch.

I'd be very curious to see a timeline of the social acceptability of various sexual practices: homosexuality, out-of-wedlock sex, bestiality, multiple partners at once...

About homosexuality for example, my naive vision is that it was "not OK" until very recently. Which is very certainly completely wrong.

It also depends a lot on the part of the world obviously
The defence can still challenge the reliability of the testimony based on the time passed.
Yup, that’s what we need to make it impossible. Don’t rely on people to act good, build a system that prevents them from acting bad.
There is no “immediate” cure for burnout. Burnout is the result of environmental stressors, but once it sets in it's like a broken leg. It takes time to heal. The textbook cure is rest, effectively abdication of your responsibilities, and you could be right again after a few months, but as the author points out not everybody can be so privileged. In my experience, and that of others I’ve spoken with, recovery can take about 18 months if you can radically rethink your attitude to work and reach out to colleagues and solicit their support. If you’re going to be trying to shoulder this all on your own and expect to go around day-to-day with your same (perhaps maladaptive) attitude to life as you did before you will find recovery a lot harder, and perhaps that’s what she means by “no cure”, but to me that’s akin to wanting to repeatedly hit your own leg with a hammer, hoping that taking a load of pain killers will help you get by ...

I would contend that if you must continue working, as it is for most people, perhaps changing jobs isnt the best idea - it is after all considered to be one of the most stressful life events (see holmes-raehe) and is not to be taken lightly.

But we have to appreciate that not all workplaces are amenable to open displays of personal vulnerability. Which is truly sad.

The sunscreen song comes to mind: ”leave before it makes you hard”

But nevertheless, don’t give up hope, you can find human kindness in the unlikliest of places, but first maybe you have to be kind to yourself <3

Maybe, but the map error is too large. There would have to be 20+ miles of ice from the shoreline. And why isn't there ice anywhere else?
I was at the Apple Store this weekend. Some guy brought in his older 15” to compare to the new 16”. It was not too much larger but it was slightly noticeable. It didn’t feel like I would break the top lid like I do on my 2017 15”.

I would not use clumsily large to describe it, my work laptop is a clumsily large hp zBook. Not one will ever mug me for it because I could throw it at them. They’d probably get a concussion.

Apple listened to customers and built the 16”. The CPUs are intel’s problem not apple. The 16” is Apple saying they were wrong and fixing issues.
Hitlery Criminalton still isn't behind fucking bars.. along with scumbama and the rest of demonrats... guess knocking people off works or when you work for the biggest cesspit for kikes and liars in mainstream media... you get away with murder and all crimes are covered up... they should all be behind bars or better yet dead ya little bitch.

Trump is a saint in comparison to all that fucking filthy so called elite trash.
"People" may have, but that does not mean Carpenter or other specific Fitbit owners did.

JavaScript is about my fifth favorite language - way down the scale of languages that I enjoy using.

That said, I think TensorFlow.js is awesome on so many things: examples are easy understand and the build system makes them easy to run, many possibilities for using trained models in browser based apps, on my Linux GPU deep learning box training models is fast, great documentation, etc.

In some ways I like the TensorFlow.js ecosystem better than the C++/Python ecosystem.

So far, Swift TensorFlow has been a disappointment for me, but every few months I check it out again.
> Do you really believe they want gdpr?

It's not ideal for them, but I believe it benefits their monopoly position. Implementing the technical and compliance measures required by the GDPR is trivial at the scale of Google, but a significant barrier to entry for smaller competitors.

I don't believe they care about people's privacy either, but it's a noble cause to be exploited. I think what they really want is regulatory hurdles that stifle competition, but have no real impact on their business.

I expect they want to shape emerging legislation to include the likes of: appoint a dedicated data protection officer; have a process by which customers can request their data; produce quarterly reports. Things which place a proportionately larger burden on smaller businesses (which perhaps can even be sold to them as services), but don't limit the collection or processing of data.
I don’t think you using roads or any public service is honorable if you don’t want to contribute. Markets and wealth don’t exist without governments to enforce them.
There is quite literally no option out there that makes sense economically or logically - The impact to the environment is negligible.

Originally, "too long, didn't read" was a comment posted on extremely long blog posts that were tedious to read. It was flippantly dismissive without addressing anything the author had to say. It was a way of saying "get to the point".

That got shortened to "TL;DR"

Then it got adopted by people telling the stories to head off criticism and provide a soundbite version of the story. Basically, here's the whole story if you want, but if you thought it was too long, here's the gist.
That's nice of them to drop the trumped up charges 10 years later.
I do think it's likely that, assault or not, Assange behaved in an unaceptable way toward these women. He has often been quoted mentioning that he has children all over the world with various women. Surreptitiously removing a condom would be in character.

If true, his attitude reminds me of Jeff Epstein's plan to "seed the human race with his DNA" by impregnanting a bunch of women on a ranch he owned. These people see their own supposed genius as justification for violating moral norms.

You can still think Assange is right (or at least important), but he's a deeply flawed person and it's not all propaganda.
DeepFovea: Using deep learning for foveated reconstruction in AR/VR
Most of us don't have any choice and have to continue to work - burned out or not. I've found that burnout comes and goes in waves though. It doesn't necessarily take changing jobs to help resolve it. Sometimes, it's just a matter of putting one foot in front of another for a while and just staying afloat until something sparks and work becomes interesting and fun again and not sheer drudgery and anxiety.
Always nice to see such a build. Don't visit this site without an ad-blocker though! uBlock Origin hits the double digits…

As a southpaw I am oddly never really bothered by the keypad sitting on the right side of the keyboard. For games it means that the standard 104 key keyboard gives me the arrow keys for movement (right hand), surrounded by a bunch of keys on both sides and above that I can map to whatever is required. The big letter field sits between the mouse (left hand, obviously) and can be used by either hand. Ideal really.

(I never did get used to doing numerical input with the keypad.)
This is something that a lot of economists agree on: tax the rich, not the corporations. I happen to agree with it as well.

The problem is the ultra rich then leave the money in the corporations, and find ways to benefit from their company cars, company jets, and company manhattan duplex penthouse apartments above their offices that they then pay a nominal rent for.

I think that below a certain revenue (not profit), corporations should be taxed at 0%. Problem is (same with free webhosting), people take advantage and just start spinning up hundreds or thousands of corporations (real estate companies do this already for liability).

No matter how you structure it there is no way to provide tax advantages to one entity without having people game that system.
I suspect this can turn out to a heated politics discussion so this is my final post about this:

we never threw people off buildings. we never stoned people to death. we never drowned people in cages or beheaded.

We fought with uniforms, we tried to follow the geneva convention as much as we could being a seperatist group.
we had the support of the people, in fact, we were the people. Much like the kurds in Syria/Iraq.

obviously there were collateral damage and there were some nasty incidences. Even the US with the technical capability and all the surveillence technology cannot avoid collateral damage, bombing of red cross hospital or abuses of Abu Ghiraib.

The fight for independence is not over for us.
Gretchen's book Because Internet, is fantastic. It was riveting and helped me get over a ton of personal grammatical hang-ups I have. The audiobook is amazing, go borrow it at your library!
It would have been a better article if the author had interviewed a few Americans. You can’t derive this stuff from first principles. I was completely surprised by the force and longevity of Hong Kong protests, based on my prior intuition, for example.
I guess it sounded better than being extradited and mistreated by the US government.

I bought the domain names 1millioncoins, 1billioncoins, 1trillioncoins for that same kind of idea.

I would keep 10% and give the other 90% away to 10 people as long as they gave 10% of it way to 10 people.

The money doesn't get "distributed" until all the money is given away. then use 5% of the money for servers to manage transactions for an app that transferred the money.
The only cases I’ve seen it become relevant is when a crime, typically sexual assault, becomes impossible to prosecute. The assumption made is that all evidence becomes irrelevant after x number of years. x happens to be well within a human lifetime and it clearly is not accurate when using 1970s technology, let alone 2010s. There are a myriad of reasons that victims don’t charge crimes that have been committed against them.

Its existence points towards having a “legal system” rather than a “justice system”.
While this is certainly part of the answer, it is not the whole answer. Staying on your ally’s good side is important, but there really seems to be weakened evidence; new hearings have been made, and they _are_ substantially less impactful due to it being ten years ago.
Maybe that people look up all kinds of things not related to themselves. For example, read an article and it mentions some illness you have not heard of, you double tap the illness in question and right-click and search for that. Things like that will skew results. Heck, if google based my health upon what I've googled over the years then they would of had me flagged as dead many times over.
We do. If you have a trade just charge cash in hand and post believable losses every tax return.
One of the bigger reasons professionals are able to do broadway 8 shows a week is that they limit their voice to those 2-3 hours. Michael Crawford (who is the Phantom of the Opera to my ears) refused to sing at a tribute to him and the Phantom cast, because he had another play later that evening and didn’t want to damage his voice.

I firmly believe that even a trained actor would become strained after three consecutive ten hour days of constant speaking.
Doesn’t change the fact that US corporations aren’t so bound.

Yes, but is also a case of "your word against mine" unless supported by verifiable data.
When it comes to international corporate interest, American tax dollars are extremely well spent. The US State Department, Military, and to a degree, Intelligence Agencies do everything they can to compel favorable treatment for large American companies from every other country.

I guess it's possible that large companies have outgrown the need for US Government support internationally and figure its cheaper and more effective to lobby the leadership of countries directly. The problem is that this approach opens up Western nations to a new form of neo-colonialism. When Western "democracies" are controlled by large corporations, the door is open for the state-owned companies of China or Saudi Arabia to acquire these companies, and thus, their influence over Western nations.
If that was a justification then why aren't corporation's paying that price?
