Empirically, no. The Houthi's do not have a good track record in this conflict of hitting only Israel affiliated ships.

There have been some accusations of Iran providing intelligence support. Iran probably does have the capabilities to do so. However Iran denies providing such support. And, even if they were trying to do so, they are empircally not doing that good of a job.

Can Apple really control which apps appear on 3rd party app stores? Why would Apple be involved at all? If their main job is going to be provide a signature, I'd argue they should not be in the loop whatsoever.
Wonder how gluten-free Danes feel about this tech.
The QR code can encode (or the system can track, or both) any combination of origin, destination, expiration (or purchase time + validity period), ticket number, etc. Check with the local server that the ID exists with the given information and that the ticket isn't expired, then allow the user through, and the server marks that ticket number as used. If the origin doesn't match the current station, the ticket is expired, or the ticket is used, don't let the user in.
Congratulations! I share in the popular jubilation and sense of epoch-making reconciliation, that aligns with the stars, even tho I think Assange acted like an egotistical fool who squandered the great lens of transparency and accountability he had created through misjudged self-importance and vulnerability to manipulation by his sources for their own ends.

Hopefully his Second Act brings good fruits without the thorns and rot of the previous ages. Good luck to him!
Why is Julian Assange flying to the remote Pacific island of Saipan?
Ok sure. But as someone coming from Elm the first question when looking at Roc will be "how does it work for web frontend?"

If the answer is "use Elm", then I guess that's fine, but that answer needs to be in the FAQ.

I also find it a weird answer honestly. Having two such similar languages for frontend and backend, but without being able to share code seems weird.
But it will take month to prepare a case and get it to the right courts. Maybe years.
> I imagine nowadays you can check "did this ship recently depart an Israeli port" in a few minutes online, and then see its approximate position and progress on a map. (Unless the crew does some transponder malarkey.)

I tried this with the two ships in the article, and couldn't get a definitive answer. One of the ships hasn't had an online update since well over a month ago, when it was in SE Asia. Maybe there's a paid option that gives more detail or newer updates.

(But this doesn't answer the underlying question: is there a reason to believe that the Houthis have a command structure that is capable of stopping opportunistic attacks?)
Perhaps, but isn't the Suez Canal the only reasonable way to ship bulk goods between Europe and Asia? Doesn't China depend heavily on access to the European markets that these attacks disrupt? I would think that that would outweigh their other interests here.
The point is to have a plastic that breaks down into starches and cellulose which are materials that our biomes can hand and can break down or incorporate.

The trick will be producing a plastic that is stable enough for use but can break down once it is no longer needed. This would be useful to replace a lot of plastics that are not used long term and are used in dry environments. It probably would not be good to store liquids.
>So you're saying Chinese law applies to you when you're a US citizen in the US?

If I launched a ransomware attack against a Chinese company, smuggled drugs into China via the Post, etc then I wouldn't be surprised when China charged me for my crimes. That is how the world works! There are plenty of laws where you don't need to be physically inside a country to be at risk of indictment (or equivalent).

>We can't be subject to every country's laws, irrespective of citizenship or location.

It would be silly for a country to try and enforce every law they have on others abroad. That doesn't mean countries can't enforce certain laws on people who are abroad. I gave you 4 examples of laws that countries commonly enforce on people abroad and for good reason.

>You've just argued yourself into saying that it is proper, good, and right for China to extradite you. If not you personally, then people you know who did say negative things about the CCP. Or took Muhammad's name in vain. Or, or, or..

No I didn't. China trying to extradite someone for criticizing them isn't the same as the US trying to extradite a Russian hacker who is behind a ransomware attack or a South American drug kingpin. Assange was a direct co-conspirator in accessing and stealing classified documents. Trying to pretend like that is on the same level as criticizing the CCP or some warlord is absurd. It is so absurd it is hard to tell if you are even being serious or just trolling.
> I believe those are non-standard integrations with the OS provided by Apple, for the convenience of developers.

Other developers would love to provide these integrations (as they could on any of the more open platforms), but that option has been cut of by Apple as well.

And what does 'non-standard' mean here? We're talking about web standards that are about a decade old at this point.
They're still available and popular in many countries, often significantly cheaper than LED bulbs.

> chiefly, the subtext seems to be "it's totally ok to change everything about yourself to win the affection of a boy you literally just met"

I really object to this relatively modern interpretation of the Disney movie. For all the perfectly valid flaws in Disney movies, this one is far off the mark that I don't understand how it's become so popular, or why even Disney themselves leaned into it.

Ariel in the Disney movie is obsessed with "land culture" long before she ever meets Eric or "falls in love". She has a massive collection of trinkets and artifacts, of which she only has as surface level understanding at best, and a flawed mistranslated one at worst. She's missing family functions for her obsession. She is basically a "weeb" for human culture. Yes, she gets herself love struck when she goes to the surface, but she already wanted to be up there. Her "I want" song comes before she's ever laid eyes on Eric. She's got plans to move, and she's already chafing under her father. Falling "in love" with Eric might be the instigating incident, but she already wants to make a change and get up there. Also bear in mind that she doesn't know anything about Eric at all, she's not "changing herself to win the affections of a boy she just met", they haven't met at all. She's obsessed and made up a fantasy in her head. Again to continue with the weeb analogy, this is like a hypothetical weeb going to an "Atarashii Gakko" concert and deciding they're in love with one of the singers and they're moving to Japan to be with them. It has nothing to do with "love" or "affection" and it's all about the obsession.

Ursula leverages this and the recent fights Ariel has had with Triton to trick her into signing the contract, but again this is about fueling an unrequited (and unknown) obsession, not about trying to do something that she has any reason to believe Eric would be asking of her. And then the ENTIRE rest of the movie drives home the point that she doesn't need to change anything about herself. Remember, Eric is obsessed, with a girl with a pretty voice. He doesn't think Ariel is the girl he's interested in at all. But he falls "in love" with her, the person she is, no changes required. Her lack of voice isn't whats appealing to him. Her legs aren't what's appealing to him. It's her personality, her whole self and she's limited to only being able to express herself as herself via her personality because her captivating voice (and the thing Eric supposedly was in love with) she'd given up. In the end the message isn't "change yourself to win affection" it's quite literally "you are good enough as you are for the right person, even when/if your 'love at first sight' attributes (like your singing voice) are lost"

If one's kids come away from Little Mermaid believing it's ok to change themselves for someone else's affections, one needs to make sure those kids are getting more critical media analysis practice, and maybe also a few sit down talks on their feelings of inadequacy.
This isn't really between the US and Assange; it's between the US and UK. If the US doesn't honor the rules for extradition then the UK may decide not to extradite people in the future.
Holtstein is trying the same now. They just switched to Linux.
Julian Assange plea deal: what does it mean for the WikiLeaks founder?
YES!!!!!!!!!!

REJOICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Woooo!!! This is incredible news to wake up to.
The fact that he has to plead guilty even to one charge is so disappointing and also inconsistent. Assange just published others’ leaks. This is just journalism right? Would the NYT or WaPo get in trouble for publishing leaked private information? For example recently with Trump’s tax returns. The way Assange has been vilified and confined and threatened is disgusting.

Still, I hope he finds happiness and peace.
Great links, will definitely be exploring these

However I meant something slightly different

A search engine presumably has 2 things, a database and a search algorithm

The user doesn't have direct access to the underlying database

Sometimes when I'm searching something, I want to do some very specific and unusual filtering and the built in filters/settings just aren't enough. It would be impossible (or at least crazy) to include all the different possible settings that I might want, you'd practically be writing a new scripting language.

However databases are important and common enough that they already have specific languages for querying them, like SQL. Where filters and settings wouldn't be enough, SQL probably would.

So what I really want is direct access to Google's databases (because it presumably has the biggest and this comes up when I'm looking for something really obscure). But I'm guessing that's not gonna happen.
I'd challenge that. I recently moved and was able to find a place that had all that and was cheaper. Having lived in big cities all my life, I totally believed that only big cities had this. Of course, now that I challenged myself to look outside the box, I was finally able to find something.

> ZIP is antiquated...but TAR isn't?

No, because tar only does archiving and is usually combined with a separate compressor - gzip, bzip2, lzip, and no doubt new and exciting compressors that have yet to be invented. So tar (with a suitable modern compressor) is still relevant today.
Great idea, I'll have to try it before making a judgement. Do you have an iOS version in mind? Thank you
What I don't think people realize is that, in general, the people that stand the most to lose from these kinds of things are not banks. Banks typically hold assets for others, not in their own right.

By far, the biggest investor in real estate is government pension funds. Government has every vested interest to enforce RTO, because without it, if companies stop leasing space, then government pension funds will be unable to pay out.

All too often people assume 'greedy bankers' are the ones who are going to lose. That's wrong. Bankers are the middle men. Bankers don't care. They'll get their cut.
So basically, the overt acts are evidence of the crimes he plead to, which again, was receiving and publishing classified documents. The violations of 793 a, b, and c mentioned in the plea, though you're right, those aren't overt acts.

I still don't see how the plea is about anything else. That if this charge went to trial they may have brought up his supposed violations of the CFAA as some kind of evidence of his conspiracy doesn't really change things.

> Drinking the Rust kool-aid by the sound of it.

Would you say the same thing if they'd instead decided to use golang, zig, nim, ocaml, etc.? If not, maybe consider that your emotional stance around Rust is coloring your judgment.

Our modern systems are built on a house of cards where security is concerned. I agree that the "RiiR" meme is tiresome and dumb, but I'm tired of seeing report after report of new vulnerabilities found in foundational libraries and programs. The majority of those vulnerabilities are of the type that Rust won't even let you compile. Languages like C and C++ have their place, but for most applications, there are safer alternatives that don't require harsh compromises or significant trade offs.
I haven't watched it yet but, apparently, the documentary about Lollapalooza that was just released was largely based on content from their archive. I don't know the details but MTV was somehow involved in the production. So, that's all to say that their archives are undoubtedly a treasure trove of historically, culturally significant media. It's a shame only the select few get access to such a resource.
I stopped reading midway through because I realized I was more focused on (unsuccessfully) trying to figure out how the movies connected with the sections following them than on the actual article.

Or one of the Houthi rebels has a cousin who works in the industry and can query a not-so-public/free database.

Either way, I'm saying it's not quite as tangled or secret as, say, banking privacy or corporate ownership structures, especially since big cargo ships are hard to hide when they come into any port.
If they keep it up, the Houthis will discover that the US Navy has a just-in-time delivery all of its own.
1. There isn't a control group, so there really isn't a way to tell the effect. A regular $50 lump sum can be used for other stability enhancing purchases since it wasn't constrained for use on housing. Something like a pre-paid phone, that is requisite first steps for other improvements.

2. They measured more than just housing attainment, and there are definitely patterns that suggest that the $1000 group had a higher impact.

3. The selection process was done through outreach agencies, who recruited from people already seeking help. That group seems likely to already be on a path away from homelessness, vs. those who do not seek external help.

The compromise here could be you can now have vacations in Manhattan. There's an odd thing that happens to most of us where we become convinced we HAVE TO live in certain places and we get tunnel vision because of that. Personally, I think the sweet spot is living 20-40 minutes of such places. It tends to be more peaceful further from downtown areas, considerably more affordable, yet still close enough you could day-trip it and enjoy the amenities.

Flack is a common alternative spelling.
This type of chest beating principal lacks nuance, there are certainly reasons why a reasonable person would agree it is in Apple (or any marketplace operator) not to share rationale directly with the creator. The easiest example would be comms indicating that Apple is detecting malicious behaviors (spam, fraud, abuse, etc) in the app. Disclosing information what can (and implicitly what cannot be detected) is self defeating. There are literally hundreds of reasonable variations in these situations.

I think what is effective is that all violations where the creator is working in good faith to abide by guidelines should be treated with reasonable transparency about how the conclusion Apple came to was reached. What fraction of Apple devs are working in good faith? Obviously the vast majority. So therefore most rejections should have clear rationale.

Honestly I don't get why people use GenAI covers. You can get a surprisingly decent if basic cover for as little as $50 (lots of artists in Latam and SEA willing to work for not very much), and if you're willing to drop a couple hundred on it, great artists will make line up to work with you.

The challenge of course is that if your write depends on a previous read, offline/online sync can easily in the wrong sync state once you come back online (in the general case). Even CRDTs are not immune from this - for example your offline document copy says step 1 is delete line 3 so you delete it but then you sync and step 1 was corrected to be “delete line 4” your deletion of line 3 is now incorrect even though the merged result is “valid”. We see this everyday in code development - they’re called merge conflicts.
