How many suicides have there been there?
It is the same conventional wisdom that held that the Swedish state prosecutor would never break Swedish laws in order to keep a prosecution indefinitely ongoing. Naturally the US had no plan to charge Assange the same day that the Swedish state prosecutor had to drop. Then a higher court actually found the state prosecutor breaking Swedish law, because as a state prosecutor is not legally allowed in Sweden to keep a prosecution going indefinitely. Conventional wisdom among Swedish legal professors at universities held that the behavior of the state prosecutor was a bit odd given that they know from a very early on that the whole deal was illegal.

It is very strange. I wonder if it possible could have something to do with foreign affairs, which a state prosecutor is by law very much forbidden to take instructions from. That would be in defiance of the rule of law, but then, they were already in defiance of the rule of law.
When even a very small number of downvotes here can result in a comment's text being coloured in a way that makes it harder to read, or even nearly impossible to read in extreme cases, I think it's reasonable to equate downvoting with censorship.

It seems pretty cut and dry, insofar as these things can be. There are established processes that cause the spontaneous creation of particle pairs in sufficiently energetic electric fields, and an analogous process for photons, both being part of the same QFT field. It's sort of sad, I always liked the idea of a kugelblitz, and this seems to render it totally impossible by any realistic astrophysical or even artificial process.
With regards to 1 and 2: This is inconsequential to what the EPA reported. It doesn't matter whether they do R&D for plushies or whatever, fact is Apple was under accounting their waste stream.

I'm going by what the EPA says and not what she says.

> How is it this woman was nearly killed, while the employees who WORK in the building are perfectly healthy, the next door businesses have no sick employees, and the other thousands of residents in the apartment building are also not sick?

I don't know. It's a matter worth investigating. Also, it's perfectly consistent for people inside the building to be fine whilst working inside considering the toxic fumes are vented outside the building and aren't just circulating inside it.

> Why isn't the news covering this? Why aren't they shut down?

This is out of my wheelhouse. I'm guessing government agencies are bit more reticent with regards to shutting down businesses unless there is a readily apparent danger to public health (i.e. something that could hold up to scrutiny in court).
Progressive fantasy is what RR is known for, and many series like that launch from there. There are others that are progressive fantasy adjacent. Progressive fantasy covers litrpg (and its many variants including 4x rpgs), so-called “cultivation” fantasy (wuxia, xianxia, etc). It shouldn’t be surprising since fighting animes have been around for a long time, and now isekai animes are now the rage, and those all overlap into progressive fantasy. There is a subreddit for this.

Other platforms will have other types of serials. I just don’t know them off the top of my head. My wife reads a romance serial somewhere else.
Good point. Actually I hope it happens (the socialized benefits) to all industries. In the past one of the reasons you committed to a corporation was for the benefits. From healthcare to retirement and stability. They are obviously not committed to anyone. Hence imo they, the corporations, should lose the benefit of the lockin. Maybe they can differentiate for the high value employees by giving them RSUs and better pay.
Imagine telling the homeowner to recover damage from their insurance company.

How is the insurance company liable for a faulty product?

The insurance company should recover their costs from Tesla.
The other thing I also think about in these cases is that unlike an automatic transmission car, the regenerative breaking slows the car the same as light break application, so in regular driving you don't use it as much.

Having driven a many different cars, I suspect without as much experience with manual transmissions or regenerative brakes, it is much more likely for a driver to panic stomp the gas.

Looking for AES and Sales managers for product interview

Our traffic rules are set by laws.

There is no law requiring a driver to check their mirrors before stopping for a traffic signal.

Meanwhile: There are many, many laws requiring a driver to not run into the car that is in front of them, and requiring them to avoid doing things like tailgating that increase the risk of this happening.
Not sure how regenerative braking works if it doesn't disengage the accelerator when the brakes are pressed. Yes in this case the brakepads would be used, but I'd also expect the motor to be off.
The standing indictment at the time of the plea deal is very easy to find on Google. And the plea is not only about receiving and publishing; what I think you're not seeing is the explicitly enumerated "overt actions" you would have seen in a full trial, but those "overt actions" are the things that connected Assange to his criminal liability in this case. But the conspiracy charge is right there.
I’m used to traveling the same distance for around £40 regardless of the time I book (shinkansen).

“The truck’s brake didn’t disengage the accelerator pedal.” So the driver did indeed stomp the gas. Why is this even a headline.

The rear wheels locked. The rear brakes are far smaller than the front. I believe the rear motors are more powerful than the front.

Therefore the smaller rear brakes were able to lock up the more powerful rear motor driven axle (there were ~50 foot skid marks from the rear tires).

Why were the more powerful front brakes not able to overpower the weaker front motor?

This is unacceptable engineering. Stop blaming the driver and apologizing for Tesla.
Indeed "Pedal Misapplication" is in fact a routine term of art[1]. Drivers hit the wrong pedal all the time when they get surprised. But of course this accident must be because it's a Tesla.

When money enters the conversation, honesty usually goes out. I would say that most people, almost all people, will bend things in a dishonest way when they think they can have the slightest monetary benefit.

I’m not sure “underrated” is exactly the best term here. He’s pretty much lauded as the greatest “visionary for design and innovation in the technology industry”, ever.

I agree that every time one of these anecdotes comes up, it’s a shock to remember. Of all the narcissists we have running the world, he’s the one I’ll most fondly remember.
I like the idea of the curb bump-outs. Intersections where you cannot see the cross traffic are definitely higher risk.

That isn't true. There is an FAA standard.

We can't be a "beacon of democracy" so long as we're shooting children from helicopters, covering it up as "national security", and prosecuting journalists who disclose these things to the US public. Democracy is premised on its people understanding the things its government is doing in their name.
Surely you don't need any conspiracy for the US to charge him at the same time as the Swedish prosecutor drops charges? That can be done unilaterally by the US prosecutor.
"due to the terrain the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed"

There might've been some amount of driver error involved, sure, but that statement sends shivers down my spine. Either of "the accelerator always/never disengages when the brake is depressed" is sane. The idea that it may or may not, depending on external factors outside the driver's control, is just plain terrifying.
What action is the court taking that you are worried about setting precedent? I haven’t read more than the linked article, but it appears the only role the court will play is accepting a plea deal.
> For a tech forum, I'm surprised at these responses. I have to Google shit all the time

I don't think anyone here is saying that they personally would have had difficulty installing Windows without a Microsoft account. I've done so myself.

What we're doing is empathizing with people who don't typically post on tech forums—people like my dad who install Windows on their own but don't regularly dig deep into the system internals. When I went through the process of installing Windows without setting up a Microsoft account I was appalled by how hard Microsoft is working to make sure that most people don't figure it out, and that was back in the days when all you had to do was not connect to Wi-Fi.

It's great that you'd be able to figure it out, but that's in spite of Microsoft's best efforts to hide the path.

> Who are the buyers of these loans and what is their motivation knowing full well these are future underwater loans.

There are many investors who would like to buy the loan for cheap due to their risk tolerance and/or recouping time horizon and/or non-obvious benefits.

Firstly, it is clear that publicly listed banks have to remove loss makers from their loan portfolio because it affects their quarterly earnings. This is the reason why they'd take a small loss now than a large loss later.

Among the buyers, there could be someone who wants to own the land and the building for future generations - and buying the loan for cheap and foreclosing it might get them an amazing real estate. They could potentially keep this valuable thing in a trust for future generations - aka their time horizon may be over 50 years to recoup it.

Other investors might already be a roster of clients who want cheap office space but might not be able to buy the undervalued building. Buying the loan for cheap lets them get some cash flow and later foreclose on the building so that the roster of clients can be filled in for future use.

Others have funds of corrupt money from foreign lands they want to put to taxable use.

The real value seems to be that there are buyers who want the building but don't want to meet the buyers at the price, so they'd rather buy the loan and hope the current owners foreclose.
You mean like Fieran? That is something author Blaise Corvin calls “exploration fantasy” and inspired him into attempting a new serial along that line.

It's quite obvious no-one is reading the article.

The rear brakes locked and were dragged ~50 feet. The front axle CONTINUED pulling the Cybertruck for those 50 feet, with the brakes applied.

There is absolutely no engineering case in which this should be expected behavior.
> And IOS's position in the EU or even the US looks nothing like "Microsoft" and IE.

Does it not? Apple's stance on marketing Safari as a "feature" instead of a product arguably goes further than Microsoft ever did. Combined with their unique stance on limiting alternate app stores it doesn't look any better in Apple's favor. Whether they did it deliberately or not, Apple has put themselves in a monopoly position that they use to specifically deny certain competitors from providing alternatives to Apple services.

> This is about the EU not being competitive in the mobile space, or software in general

Nobody is competitive in the mobile space. There are two software vendors; Apple and the catchall, Google. Both of them are American-owned and controlled. The only other "competitors" exist in places like China and Russia that are forcibly denied access to the duopoly. You can't scaremonger with a straight-face like this when everyone is in the pocket of American manufacturers.

And that's the problem. The EU can bring the axe down because Apple doesn't deserve to set their own fee. They can kick and scream and piss and moan, but it only makes their situation look uglier and prolongs the inevitable. Apple has tested the limits for years, and now that we've documented their trespass it's time to teach them their lesson. The EU started it, but Japan is headed in the same direction and the current US administration has started their own investigation into Apple.

> What you're seeing is some of the first shots in attempts to unwind globalization.

Right now I'm only seeing a bunch of whiny apologists that want their segregated market back. You can have your App Store as long as the App Store customers aren't ideologically banned from getting software anywhere else. That's what a free market looks like, and Apple doesn't get a free pass for drafting their App Store rules with crayons and colored pencils.
Maybe related to the mysterious disappearing $200M+ in bitcoin donations supposed to go to Wikileaks?

"WikiLeaks wallets now contain only 3.265 BTC ($168,000) compared to 4,079 BTC total inflows. Overall, it appears Bitcoin users have donated $1.62 million in BTC to WikiLeaks since it opened donations 13 years ago. If held until today, that BTC would be worth $210 million.

As for what WikiLeaks does with its crypto donations, the group previously said the funds would pay for “WikiLeaks projects, staff, servers and protective infrastructure.” Last week, WikiLeaks made its first transaction in two years when it shifted 10.459 ETH ($31,200) to another address."

> Aaron Kau poses for a before and after portrait showing off the clothes his stylist selected for him during a shopping trip to Bloomingdale's.

At a glance, I couldn’t tell which was the before and which was the after. The shoes are the most telling, only because no ‘before’ guy would have bought yellow shoes. I’ll admit that black and navy (before) don’t look good together, but the after photo doesn’t look great either. I wonder if it was more or less than a thousand dollars between the clothes and the consultant’s fee.

I imagine this market will be disrupted by an AI-based app that costs much, much less (and only occasionally hallucinates that you look good in something that actually looks awful).

I don't have a strong opinion about Snowden, but I do not think Russia was his only option by any means. From Wikipedia's article about US extradition treaties:

The United States does not have an extradition treaty with China, Indonesia, Iran, Mongolia, Russia, Taiwan, Ukraine, Vietnam, the GCC states, most African states, and most former Soviet states, among others. Some countries with US extradition treaties have refused to extradite includes: Ecuador, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Iceland, Pakistan, Egypt, Switzerland, Venezuela, Zimbabwe etc.

Breakthrough times are a function of how much VOCs you are putting through them. If you under account for the amount of VOCs you will overestimate the "true" breakthrough time.

Journalists generally avoid asking for classified information. The belief is that (in the US) a journalist that passively receives classified information & publishes it isn't committing a crime due to the First Amendment. The actual crime itself was committed by the person leaking the information.

Julian Assange actively solicited leaks of information. That's where the espionage claim comes from.

There's not much precedent on this though and making a plea deal avoids establishing one. I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. Generally, precedent is established when someone appeals their conviction, and a higher court determines that the conviction is lawful. Higher court decisions bind lower courts, so e.g. if a circuit appeals court says the law is "X", every district court within it has to agree.

Since generally, you wouldn't appeal a plea deal, there probably won't be legal precedent from this.

That being said, I wonder if the USA will informally say "we got Assange; we can get you" the next time a similar situation comes up.
The intro section before the main article was worse than slop.
