Here is why it is confusing.

In normal speech we present the argument that we believe and hope to convince. But in a court of law the lawyers present every argument that might convince the judge, and leave it up to the judge to decide which to be convinced by.

In this case:

Defense: Assange can't be extradited under the treaty because it excludes political acts and his act was political.

Prosecution: The treaty term about political acts is not enforceable in UK law...

Defense: The 2003 law empowers the treaty, and the term is in the treaty so it is enforceable.

Prosecution: ...and if it was enforceable it wouldn't apply because Assange's actions don't meet the definition in the treaty of a political act...

Defense: His actions did meet the definition.

Prosecution: ...and if it did meet the definition the treaty term still doesn't apply because the act did not take place in the USA...

Defense: If you rule the act did not take place in the USA then the USA has no jurisdiction to sue in the first place and Assange can't be extradited.

(And so on.)

Here the defense raised 1 argument. The prosecution raised three counter-arguments. The defense has 3 responses to each.

If the judge accepts any of the prosecution's counter-arguments, Assange will be extradited. To win, the defense has to win on every argument.

From the tone of the blog article, it looks like the judge will rule for the prosecution on the first argument, and the blogger thinks that the judge is wrong to do so.

Does that clarify?

Very recognizable. What I found interesting is that, even though apparently my brain can time the alarm really well, but I cannot actively rely on it: if I choose not to set an alarm, I will wake up a dozen times before, like you describe. It’s easy to explain why, but still a pity.
I don't know why Twitter doesn't just outsource the verification - make a little "DNC" or "GOP" badge instead of the blue check, and let the parties verify who their candidates are. Same thing for various professional organizations, sports leagues or any other group that has a lot of people needing to be verified.

They could probably even make money off it.
I work for a health-related company, and to us it's called "Health literate."

But, you're right- the idea is to write as plainly and clearly as possible so the largest number of people can understand.

As for why the drug or manufacturer wasn't named, my guess is that it's so that there isn't a run on a particular medication causing unnecessary shortages.
Yeah, it's not a cognition re-ordering event that's happening. You simply wake up just before the alarm because the human brain be crazy, yo.

I have, many times, with many different alarm clocks or phones, woken up a minute or so before the alarm is set to go off, and usually I unset the alarm and get out of bed. There's no prep noise, no early warning, no re-imagining how things happened. I just do it, sometimes.
I have to agree. There is more sales loss to me than user gains. Of course I don’t have the numbers of these companies at scale. Presumably they did the math and gain more conversions than losses to continue doing this.
This is something else. What will happen to the origins of sound after all the sounds have sounded?
The situation is more complex than that. Plants with accelerated metabolism and growth from increased CO2 burn through minerals and other nutrients so fast that they experience a kind of crash that leaves them stunted and vulnerable.
I think they’re still in stock at _some_ Home Depots. At least last I checked.

In any case, an N95 mask is insufficient if you don’t cover eyes as well and don’t use IPA70/Sporklenz or similar after touching any common surface. 10% bleach should also work but it’s nastier (to skin and materials).

Any citations? If you're not launching a competitor, using your employers IP or doing some nefarious, why would they care?

How many employers would want some side project generating 20k/year, what would they do with it? Would they sue the employee? What for?

Genuine question.
Not a biologist, but circadian rhythms are attributed to light. Could the light level in the room be the trigger for waking before the alarm goes off?
Monday plant startups were the worst back when I did manufacturing plant ops.

Line start time was 6 am, so I had to check everything before 5:30, so I had to be in the plant at 4:30. Naturally I woke up at 2:30 and 3:30 for good measure. Fortunately the regular day shift ops also showed up at 6:30 or 7, so there was someone around with actual brainpower.
Global warming is a net negative for all people if the rate of change exceeds the rate at which we can adapt our society. That shows up in our economy as a cost, and when costs exceed revenue, society runs into trouble regardless of whether the atmosphere is 15% more conducive to plant growth.

The most obvious cost is the threat to densely populated real estate along coasts as sea level rises. You have to build sea walls or move. Building walls is a huge direct cost. But forced moving creates huge indirect costs as the price of real estate above the new waterline soars--at the same the people with land under the waterline all file flood insurance claims (or go bankrupt).

Freeman Dyson was a brilliant physical scientist, but the problems of global warming will be primarily social, not physical.
That was true for a while but they added this feature some time ago.

It depends on the ad. In the before time, long ago, ads were a simple static image or body of text. And in that case, while not impossible, it's rather hard to compromise a computer with a static image or block of text. You'd have to have a fairly specific image crafted to adversarially target a specific bug in the rendering of images to get code execution, and thus compromise a computer.

It is no longer the before time.

In the now time, ads frequently contain not just text or images, but javascript as well. And already having code execution by virtue of javacript, it is a lot easier to escalate the privileges of that code execution from the limited environment of the browser to installing code on the computer running that browser. Want to deploy your bot? Buy an ad that includes your malicious javascript payload. Now, anyone who goes to a site and views your ad will execute your javascript for free in addition to your offer to sign them up for credit score monitoring.
Did I miss it but where did they move from? A comparison of before and after would have been great.

Indeed. I've seen that, but not deaths,recoveries data. The above has the potential underestimate problem from case growths.
This would be actually quite an easy theory to put to test. You could film yourself waking up, then you would know.

And I would bet that they are actually waking up before the alarm clock, most of the time because of the regular schedule, the other times due to confirmation bias.
> Well, and the externalities of the driver's carbon emissions are a massive negative impact on all of us.

This is just one part of it. 40,000 people are killed every year in the US, and over 4 million seriously injured or disabled.
a doctor friend of mine, familiar with the situation, tells me that 2% is likely an order of magnitude high. That is because in China, only the very ill are getting diagnosed at all. Therefore. the number of deaths is roughly in line, but the number of cases is likely an order of magnitude low.
Setting aside any terminology for a second, consider this rust program:

fn main() {
let x = 1;
let capture = || x;
let x = 2;
println!("{}", capture());
println!("{}", x)
}

This will print 1 and then 2, whereas python would print 2 and 2.

Hence, you can see that the formulation "let mut" is equivalent to python, not "let" followed by "let".

Here's the rust program that prints 2 and 2:

fn main() {
let mut x = 1;
let ptr = &x as *const i32;
let capture = || unsafe{ *ptr };
x = 2;
println!("{}", capture());
println!("{}", x);
}

(I had to use unsafe otherwise the borrow checker will complain will I modify x from underneath the closure; maybe a more elegant way to make the same point -- I don't really know rust...)

You can extend the lives of writable and rewritable optical media by proper storage. The key is to avoid light and heat as much as possible, to keep the dyes stable. I'm not sure about 30 years, but you can probably get 10 out of properly stored optical media. See the following advice:

>A disc should always be handled by grasping its outer edges, center hole or center hub clamping area. Avoid flexing the disc, exposing it to direct sunlight, excessive heat and/or humidity, handle it only when being used and do not eat, drink and smoke near it. Discs should be stored in jewel cases rather than sleeves as cases do not contact the discs’ surfaces and generally provide better protection again scratches, dust, light and rapid humidity changes. Once placed in their cases discs can be further protected by keeping them in a closed box, drawer or cabinet. For long-term storage and archival situations it is advisable to follow manufacturer instructions. For further information consult the international standards for preserving optical media (ISO 18925:2002, Imaging materials — optical disc media — storage practices). [0]

I'm using shadowing in the rust sense, not the python sense.
omg finally a positive post on moving to San Francisco! Sure it has it's problems but the Bay Area is truly lovely in so many ways.
They also have to tread a very fine line where these companies are "required" to self report important details that would damage a "brand". By not naming names they maintain the trust which increases the prospect of getting the important information we all need. (and that is not X.inc's next quarters earnings)

They are the exact same sense!

The exact same idea of shadowing is also present in, for example, sentences in first order logic.
There are plenty of Italians, Chinese and Iranians in Switzerland - not at all clear why you'd choose to pick on eastern Europeans given how few cases there are in those countries.

If you're serious about using optical media as archival storage, you can mitigate this by incorporating your own error correcting codes into the data storage format.
You're fine, it's a good comparison, if you didn't bring it up someone in the comments probably would have.
I also wake up sometimes 5 to 10 minutes before the alarm goes off and it's pitch black in my room, so probably by "internal clock" knows the time.
> Devs don't want to manage VMs. Patching, gold loads, SSH configs, k8s, so on

Which devs?

I'm a developer and I enjoy most of these things. Working with k8s is a pleasure, managing VMs can be quite simple (and more often than not, is). I don't do much patching, but I "SSH" into our k8s pods quite frequently. I've never thought, gee I wish I had a lambda to simplify this. I know I _also_ don't represent all devs, but I'm never seen this comment made outside of it being an argument supporting FAAS.
Though I don't have the common room experience that you had, I too regularly wake before my alarm goes off with more than enough time to turn it off.

The answer isn't that I have a clock in my brain, but rather that waking phases occur regularly during sleep. I start to wake up, think "what time is it?" and check my phone. If it's within 30 minutes of my alarm, I just turn my alarm off and get up.

No magic required.
This isn’t actually one of those solutions where Lambda shines, pricing wise.

I would simply trigger a Lambda function once a minute (or every X minutes) using CloudWatch to fetch the latest articles and save them to an S3 bucket which I would expose and cache using CloudFront or any other CDN service.

This would lead to:

- No Lambda costs as it would be covered by the monthly free tier of 1M requests.

- No storage costs as the size of the stored data would be extremely small.

- Really fast responses as the “response” would actually be a static file cached at the CDN.

- The only parameter defining your cost would be your CDN of choice, which would cost somewhere between free and as low as $10/TB. For a project like the one in the article, that’s hundreds of millions of requests for just $10.

When adsense first came out it was text only and ads were actually fascinating and interesting to read. They were regulated and meaningful.

Then images and javascript were eventually allowed and it was all downhill from there. Now it's a race to the bottom of how many hundreds of external objects and tracking that can be added to a page as well as malware since so many badly behaving ads slip right through any attempt at automated bans.
I don't have a great ear, but I think it's a similar melody, albeit at a different tempo and key (?). If you can't hear it, try changing the video speed to 1.5x during the Sam Smith part.

If these two songs are similar enough, then I think it could be argued that a MIDI sequence has been copied, since in both cases it requires a significant change of tempo and key. A lot of commenters seem to be missing this point: yes, the generated sequences sound different from real songs, but so do the songs involved in the ridiculous court cases. Radiohead and Ed Sheeran were sued for chord progressions, Katy Perry for a melody. The songs involved were altered about as much as the MIDI sequences would need to be to show the similarities.
Isn't this more or less doable with Service Workers, CSP, SRI etc?
Considering we can read parchments thousands of years old, and stone tablets going back even further, perhaps we should focus efforts on copying what we can to the time-tested preserved data formats.
What is the correct way to hide an external link from Google's bots?

i.e. I have lots of links to a particular e-commerce site, but I'd rather Google didn't know about it so my site doesn't get a ranking penalty.

Currently I have links to a certain directory on my site, and that entire directory is "Disallow" in the robots.txt. When the index.php in that directory loads it 302 re-directs to the e-commerce site in question.

They already kind of do this. Some media people are verified when someone at their company sends over a list of current employees and corresponding Twitter handles.
I second every part of this comment. I ran into the same issue migrating GA to a new phone, none of my keys went with. Very frustrating experience.

I also switched to OTPAuth, great app, provides encrypted backups and switching to a new phone was seamless. Would absolutely recommend over Google Authenticator.
Indeed. And honestly, I'm not sure if I could blame anyone in government for thinking this way.

In our industry, majority of companies can easily continue operating under WFH regime. But most other industries can't. The damage to the economy must be kept in check, or otherwise the virus will be the least of everyone's worry. Quarantine is livable for as long as enough food is still made and delivered for everyone, and utilities are maintained.
I'd recommend 1password over LastPass. LastPass has had some real facepalm security issues, and 1Password has a reputation for passing some pretty strenuous audits. We used LastPass on the tech team at HFA and... I think everyone I know has switched to 1Password or something else. I do 1Password and Yubikeys.
Unavoidably slightly political but...

I saw a shift in behavior following Trump's conference appointing Mike Pence as the effective coronavirus czar.

Every morning there was a small stash of N95 masks at my local Home Depot until yesterday. Similarly I started seeing specific sorts of non-perishables disappearing from the shelves of Trader Joe's and Safeways. Where it goes next, I don't know. But I think the crowd has spoken on the subject already.
I don't turn off my virus blocker for anyone. No way no how no sir. Sites that refuse to show content without opening up for viruses are intrinsically suspicious, no matter how fancy their brand name.
I did most of my research just using ancestry.com. The U.S. censuses and NY state censuses are gold for this kind of thing.

My ancestry is from Romania, Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. I haven't been able to track back into Eastern Europe except for Poland, where a relative hired a professional genealogist who managed to go back to the 1700s. I have no way to verify that information is accurate. On the Romanian branch, I have third cousins who only immigrated to the US as adults and we were able to piece together some bits from photos and postcards that were passed down.

At some point, I'd like to figure out the provenance of my surname (Soffian). Typically names ending in "ian" are Armenian, but I'm fairly confident the Soffian branch of my ancestry is from Ukraine. (Armenia never had much of a Jewish population so it would be unlikely.)

I have a friend who tracked his ancestry into English royalty. He's got a tree with over 10,000 names on it.
No, but he is an intelligent person who leads a billion-dollar organization that is, among other things, on the verge of eradicating the historical scourge of polio.

There would be all sorts of weird stuff on them.

Young people probably would not know that watching VHS tapes anything could happen because they got reused.

So you'd be watching a movie and halfway through it would suddenly switch over to a shuttle launch or a music video or a documentary or something cause someone decided to record something else at that point.

I once recorded a three hour British detective show. I watched it for three hours and it got to the final scene to reveal whodunnit and the tape ran out.

It's great that they are archiving the old content but I don't miss VHS in the least.
Pretty sure you'd have to pay at least $3.5 if you wanted to expose your Lambda function using AWS API Gateway (which I assume most would want to do).. The author mention $1.11 but that's for "HTTP APIs (Preview)" rather than "REST APIs" - in either case it wouldn't be 0. At least that's how I read it.. AWS pricing is such a mess with so many hidden fees (https://aws.amazon.com/api-gateway/pricing/)..
This reminds me of A/B testing that likely was the method Google unwittingly used to obfuscate sponsored results in Search. The A/B test KPI they were measuring clearly was creating more click through to sponsored properties and it eroded trust and utility in exchange. I am sure they increased their short term Ad Words profits.
not knowing anything about crates, this is a very amateurish and subpar postmortem; provides neither a simple, executive summary nor a technical deep-dive. problems arent annotated (or even clearly identified) and so cant be correlated to solutions or a POAM. everything is written in a very passive, non-action oriented voice. i do not leave this confident that issues have been identified, triaged, and queued for repair or mitigation.

> Deploying the change took way longer than expected

what does this mean? how much longer is "way longer"? what was your RTO goal, how did you fail to meet it, and how will you meet it in the future?

> We should also strive to reduce the amount of time PRs sit in master without being live.

not a plan. everyones striving at whatever their doing. were you not striving before? how will your accomplish your goal of minimizing non-live time?

> It took 1 hour and 31 minutes from the start of the incident to the deploy of the fix.

"deploy of the fix" is an unclear statement. does that mean when code was pushed, or when you verified your clients no longer had problems?
The blue checkmark is weird.

When it first came out, it was like a pseudo endorsement, then it was a prestige thing.

It matters because the facts in the article are consistent with the idea that the person visited the Zurich office and returned to their place of origin, or they just live there.
>> It's worth noting that the 1918 flu was unique in that it killed many young, healthy people.

> There were two waves to the Spanish Flu. Wave 1 started like the standard flu - it was mild, hitting mostly the old and ill, and not terribly deadly. Wave 2 is when it mutated, spread like wildfire, and killed 2% of the world population.

That's sounds similar to the 1977 swine flu. It mainly infected people in their 20s or younger, because it was likely a lab escape of a then-extinct 1950s flu strain. Older people were unaffected because they had already acquired immunity.
