Is this really more "open-minded"? Or is it just reflecting the traditional cultural expectation that men should be the primary earner?

One could as well make the opposite: women are more open-minded because they will gladly marry a man who makes more than them.
Ask government contractors.
Making it easy and self service to do things the right way also helps create a cultural expectation that if you think you need to leave the happy path, you’re probably holding it wrong. Or at least, you brought the blockage/expensive coordination problem on yourself.
It's accidental malware. That's better, if you're an ethicist, and no better at all, if you're the one having to clean up the mess.
The US charge should obviously be thrown out. Difficult cases make bad precedents and all that.

But this guy isn't really doing Assange any favours, as far as I can tell. He's claiming the imprisonment in Britain amounts to torture, which makes his take somewhat suspect. Britain is an established democracy. They tend not to torture people. If Assange's various psychological conditions are worsening, I do expect them to provide medical help. But you don't get to just claim that you're too delicate for prison.

Oh, and he's also claiming the Swedish prosecution was made up, some vast conspiracy. Most people would consider that ludicrous and yet another mistreatment of the victim. And even people willing to believe that theory would probably agree that there just isn't any evidence for it, and it's not a good look for a UN official to claim it as fact.
Not alone at all. I think it's one of those things where someone just needs to reveal the hidden market.
Definitely No.

Suing companies is much harder than Internet comment sections imply. You would need an airtight case for any reasonable lawyer to proceed with such a case. From your post, you don’t appear to have any smoking gun evidence that they declined you due to marital status. You can’t win a lawsuit based on a hunch.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not necessarily illegal to ask candidates about their marital status in the US. It would, however, be illegal if they used the answer to this question in a way that influenced their hiring decision. Frankly, it’s more likely that they were playing the “getting to know you” game with some poorly-advised small talk.

Before you consider suing, ask yourself what you expect to achieve: If you want an easy payout, remember that your lawyers will take a significant amount of anything you receive. If you lose, are you prepared to pay the legal fees yourself? Your lawyers won’t work for free and suing a company is an easy way to accumulate huge legal fees.
'Markets can remain irrational far longer than you can remain solvent'

I have little sympathy for short sellers. Betting on any company to fail is a negative perspective. It's particularly foolhardy to bet against Elon.

I also do not find the common economic argument, that short selling introduces price efficiency, compelling. Most public markets are able to efficiently manage price discovery without negative pressures, such as housing markets, wages, etc. Furthermore, the advantage appears to be extracted purely as profit by the short seller.
Maybe but it likely won't be any time soon.

It felt weird that my first reaction was to wonder what took so long. For some reason I was thinking that surely the Blackbird could make the crossing about 60 minutes faster than listed.

Looking at a map, I saw that the air line distance from Fortaleza to Dakar is just over 1,900 miles though. So I'm thinking "transatlantic" must mean more than my own basic definition. (Plus I don't know if these locations would have enough runway for the SR-71, or if the reason we haven't heard of faster is because US taxpayers aren't footing the gas bill to arrange a shorter route)

> why do female dancers have a thing for male welders?

One thing to note is that it is likely that welders are some of the highest paid blue collar workers in America. The other thing to note is that careers in the arts are for the most part about passion, not money. Thus it is not super surprising that someone with a career that does not pay a lot, would want to pair with someone that has a well paying career that is spread out through the country.
> We definitely do believe in the divinity and essential role of Jesus Christ as taught in the New Testament.

Most Christians would disagree with the notion that Elohim and Jesus/Jehovah are two distinct beings and that this unity is found (albeit, not explicitly) in the NT. Furthermore, Jesus' role in the the Mormon Plan of Salvation is a significant departure from the soteriology people usually derive from the NT. I understand one can argue otherwise and people do (e.g. Swedenborg's soteriology), but it's an extreme minority position even among the schismatic mess that is Christianity. You can argue that the Mormon movement got these right where everyone else got it wrong because Joseph Smith and subsequent prophets were given revelation to correct the errors. Accept the truth of that or not, it's more evidence that the Mormons are something significantly different from what we'd normally call Christianity. From that perspective, perhaps the Mormon movement is the true Christianity and the rest are something else. But there is a huge difference no matter what side you take.

> For actual teachings, the Book of Mormon (with the Bible) is all about Christ.

But is it the same Christ? The Mandaeans have scripture that teaches about Christ. But in these scriptures, he's evil. Islam's Quran also talks a lot about Christ. But he mostly exists to disavow doctrines about him that Islam considers heretical. And even confining ourselves to the canonical gospels, the Christ of John and the Christ of Mark are noticeably different. You can certainly argue that if the Book of Mormon is "the most correct of any book on earth" and it reveals aspects of Christ omitted from or distorted in the traditional Christian scriptures. So it's the same Christ, represented more accurately. But if you reject the Book of Mormon as inspired, it's easy to see the Mormon Christ as something else with significant differences.

"Power" can be tanks and submarines. It can be the gavel of a Supreme Court judge. Or it can be the position of a UN High Representative.

Just by being quoted in the papers and us discussing his views, he has power. Sure, it's "soft power" because he cannot force anything on anyone (except maybe a small staff). But that's the sort of soft power that won the Cold War: getting people to do what you want with no carrots nor sticks, simply by making them share your goals.

The UN also has very specific powers: they runs dozens of agencies, some of which (like UNHCR) have thousands of people working on-the-ground. They are operating refugee camps with millions of people, co-ordinating the response to that Virus in China, and deciding who gets which international calling code.

I was going to say the same but from another angle: When you no longer need investors, they'll be climbing all over themselves to throw money at you. The same is true of getting loans.

Now at the surface this is sort of absurd. The trick is to balance your approach between the extremes. Plan to make a business that works, not one that appeals to investors so you can cash out quick. If the latter happens, that may be ok, but I believe it's really important to build something you believe in that is grounded in reality.

please stop spreading the myth that ChromeOS is somehow immune to malware. nothing stops a dev from uploading malware to the Chrome web store, and there are many such cases that happened. the only meaningful metric of how safe a piece of software is, is the size and investment in the team responsible for the security of the product. And MS is leading in this aspect.
It's not that black and white though. A startup will need to have a different culture than an established company with thousands of users. What is right for a consumer company is not necessarily right for an enterprise company. Companies need to evolve all the time, and such stories are tipping points where such evolution should happen.

I don't agree with them about it being open-minded, but flipping the situation in your example doesn't compare. Marrying up is going to improve your networth, marrying down is going to lower it.

> But you don't get to just claim that you're too delicate for prison.

Assange is not the one making the claim. Here's a recent in-depth interview with the UN expert Nils Melzer which goes into a lot more detail: https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikilea...

Nils Melzer: "Julian Assange has been intentionally psychologically tortured by Sweden, Britain, Ecuador and the U.S. First through the highly arbitrary handling of proceedings against him. The way Sweden pursued the case, with active assistance from Britain, was aimed at putting him under pressure and trapping him in the embassy. Sweden was never interested in finding the truth and helping these women, but in pushing Assange into a corner. It has been an abuse of judicial processes aimed at pushing a person into a position where he is unable to defend himself. On top of that come the surveillance measures, the insults, the indignities and the attacks by politicians from these countries, up to and including death threats. This constant abuse of state power has triggered serious stress and anxiety in Assange and has resulted in measurable cognitive and neurological harm. I visited Assange in his cell in London in May 2019 together with two experienced, widely respected doctors who are specialized in the forensic and psychological examination of torture victims. The diagnosis arrived at by the two doctors was clear: Julian Assange displays the typical symptoms of psychological torture. If he doesn’t receive protection soon, a rapid deterioration of his health is likely, and death could be one outcome."
I did. Saying “everyone” when it’s just probably one person is not usually ok. It’s fine to say if you interpreted the comment in a certain way, and ok to be the outlier. But assuming your interpretation applies to others more broadly than it does, is counterproductive.

America was not intended to be a pure democracy.

The "checks and balances" of our government are really several different forms of government. We have the democracy of the public, the plebeian officers of the house, the aristocracy of the senate, the council of philosophers on the court, and the dictatorship of the executive.

None of this, however, argues in favor of giving the executive the authority to rewrite legislation. Even the much more mild line-item veto is an absurd workaround for a broken legislative process. If the legislature wants smaller, separable acts, it doesn't need to go crying to King Solomon.
Someone dying is devastating if you have a connection to that person. People die every second and if everyone was devastated by every death then the world would grind to a halt. The first people going into deep space dying would be devastating to billions because billions of people will feel a personal connection to the person dying. This is a grave thing causing so much pain, but hopefully space travel can become a boring activity like landing a rocket has after 80 successful ones.

If people aren't going to space it not being conquered. Explored, but not lived in. About 270 men left on the Magellan expedition and 18 returned. Some people are willing to take that kind of risk for the right kind of project/adventure. I give my best wishes to those who wish to try.
