The source is a "tweet" saying that a truck carrying the next day's supplies for the embassy (whatever those comprise) was turned away. This message was from ... Wikileaks. But the BBC reported police surrounding the embassy so it is not unbelievable that a supply truck was turned away.

I don't like this as precedent. If there's one thing we've learned from Wikileaks, it's that evidence of wrongdoing should be out in the open. This is a back-room deal between Assange and Ecuador to give him asylum as protection from a claimed US government conspiracy, but where's the proof? If it's good enough to convince the government of Ecuador, it's good enough to post publicly.

Well, sort of. Its designed so that the number of bitcoins in circulation approach some constant, but that doesn't tell you anything about the value of bitcoins, because the long term value of bitcoins is going to be something like the value of the market served by bitcoins divided by the number of bitcoins. So if, say, Silkroad gets shut down by the authorities then I expect the value of bitcoins would crash. Or if banking regulations change to make using bitcoins more cumbersome, or whatever. And you'd expect to see the value to bitcoins drop during recessions.
There is no evidence for that.

Isn't the crime Assange is charged with in Sweden is significantly different from what is generally understood as rape in the US? Isn't he actually being charged with having two "one night stands"?
He has not been convicted of anything, in the UK nor in Sweden, so he's not "gone through the entire legal system".

The Swedish Police officially wants him for questioning, and for that reason they requested his arrest through Interpol. The UK legal system only argued on whether there's any impediment, under British Law, which would not allow him to be extradited.

Under pressure from the current government, Lord Justices ruled that they cannot find anything of the sort. Hardly a trial or "going through the entire legal system".

In England and Wales it is perfectly possible to say, "I consent to having sex to you if you use a condom". As such, if a condom has not been used, consent has not been given, and sex without consent is rape. One of the three charges is that he had sex while the girl was asleep — this is also illegal in England and Wales (as they cannot give consent — or withdraw it if they decide — as they are asleep).
Something quite similar happened before with Roman Polanski.

Which is why I wrote: This is not an ordinary occurrence meaning that it happens rarely, not that such things never happen.
> I'd love to know what Assange's endgame plan for all of this fuss is.

The same endgame he has had for a while: more attention, more publicity, more people donating to his bank account (which is basically what wikileaks functions as) to make up for those that got burned when he jumped bail, more book deals, who knows, perhaps a film. Whatever feeds his ego.

In the UK an judge may make an independent determination that his 'crimes' are of a political nature and therefore not extraditable.

Ecuadorean diplomats even offered the option to send him to Sweden outright, as long as the Swedish government guarantees he will not be extradited to a third country. Swedish authorities refused.

It doesn't matter whether in other places it's not illegal; it isn't legal where he did it. Ignorance of the law is no excuse either so what you have is a rape suspect fleeing. It's not the same as the Polanski case admittedly but it's not like he was overdue on a library book
An angle that seems to be forgotten here is the political bind the UK government finds itself in. On the one hand, they cannot afford to violate territoriality of the Ecuadoran embassy (legally or not) - on the other, they also cannot afford to break the terms of their extradition treaty with Sweden.

Either outcome will see the UK have further problems on the world stage, and neither is something they can easily negotiate their way out of. In such a situation, it might be imagined that they would rather risk their reputation with the rest of the world than alienate their allies.

If it's as alleged, I believe it would constitute at least some kind of sexual assault in the US as well. The allegation is that he had engaged in intercourse without a condom despite the protestations of his (otherwise consenting) partner that she didn't consent to unprotected sex.

How to Set-Up a Professional Website - I | Daily Morning Coffee
I think the UK is working on a technicality. They could do this, but should they do this? The UK risks it's ties with Ecuador to get Mr. Assange. Also the UK puts it's entire foreign affairs/ministry (operating in other countries) at real risk as well. Usually in these situation there are always tit-for-tat repercussions.

You expel my diplomat, I expel your diplomat.

So far it's, Mr Assange applies (key word!) for asylum.
Britain threatens Ecuador with a letter, Ecuador gives him asylum.

Ecuador pretty much has to give him asylum or risk looking to be diplomatically weak.

The next move will be the British's move because Mr. Assange doesn't have to leave the embassy. He could stay there the rest of his life and do pretty well. He got famous for leaking documents on the internet and I'm pretty sure the embassy has the internet. So he can continue leaking documents on the internet.

The bonus is now that he is "on the run" he will have credibility and he can pretty much expose whatever he wants except for leaks of Ecuadorian issues.
I wasn't suggesting otherwise, merely citing another similar case that I hadn't seen posted yet.

> The problem we are facing is that the producers are have become extremely productive due to capital and technology and are able crush those who do not have the access to the capital and technology.

This is a common mercantilist fallacy -- that the problem is we just have too much production. I submit that we have the opposite problem: goods and resources are too scarce, rather than too abundant. More efficient production is the solution, rather than the problem.

> The people who are not in this privileged group are caught in a vicious cycle are forced to remain consumers and are getting more and more dependent on these super producers.

I agree that the focus of the economy is consumption, but this is indicative of the problem as well. We need to encourage entrepreneurship. By this I do not mean subsidies -- more in terms of cultural encouragement and removal of legislative and regulatory obstacles.
No — but how often are such promises made? Hypothetically, if there came up an allegation that he had murdered someone in, say, Spain, and it was obvious he was guilty, would it be just that he could not be taken to Spain to be tried as a result of such an agreement?

> There's a lot of speculation about this but I haven't seen actual evidence.

Because there is none, it is a matter of legal record that it is MUCH easier for the US to extradite somebody from the UK than from Sweden.

But that simple fact (which Assange himself acknowledged in the past!) is rather inconvenient when you are trying to build some conspiracy theory.
Yeah, that was a month ago, when it was all fun and games.

Now the Metropolitan Police is banging at the door of a foreign embassy to get hold of a suspect, and the time for jokes is all but gone. Now it's not about who's the best-looking media-darling, it's about principles and long-standing conventions in international relations.

They would look fabulous by coming out swinging, saying "we can't stand the man, but the asylum principle is inviolable and not worth losing just to score a cheap point, so let him go to Ecuador if they want him."

But no, silence. Had it happened in China or some godforsaken African hellhole, we wouldn't hear the end of it. It happens in London, chips are down, and now we're failing HARD at world peace.

It make me very sad.
I agree with you that Bitcoins can open markets because they can eliminate the friction of making payments when two parties live in different political regions that do not currently trade easily.

This is a good thing for individual liberty and self determination.

But I would disagree when you propose that the only solution is to prevent the most efficient producers of a good or service from selling as much as they can into their market.

I rather put my hopes on open access and competition; both of which are enhanced by a means of exchange that does not require the friction of a trusted intermediary.

The trend across the year shows some intriguing, and dramatic, dips in layer 7 DoS activity. The dips in the chart are around the following dates: January 30, February 21 (Mardi Gras), March 20 (attackers recovering from St. Patrick's Day?), April 22 (did attackers take Earth Day off, or did people switch off their home machines making botnets smaller for a day?), May 29 (Memorial Day weekend), June 28 (just before July 4).

We should tell people to turn their PCs off when they're not using them - not to save power, but to reduce the total number of bots in the botspace available to attackers.

They want to question him over a complaint regarding compelling him to take an STD test. When he was charged and then those charges were dismissed he remained in Sweden for weeks.

That rant should also be directed at US law, which is pretty clear about what Google needs to do in this situation. I suppose the problem is integrating YouTube with Google accounts, but you could have just as easily muffed a field in Gmail and had the same issue.

What should Google do when you state you are under 13? If they pop up a message saying "Are you sure? All this cool stuff is going to go away if you say that you are under 13." it breaks the intent of the law and child advocacy groups would rightly eat Google for lunch.
The key word here is "suspect". We live in 2012: if you want to question a suspect you don't have to have him in your jurisdiction to do so. If you don't want to interview him in the embassy or by phone, you obviously don't care. If he doesn't want to talk, that's within his rights, and a refusal to come to your country should be interpreted as such.

The only reasons you would want a suspect extradited to your country are: to press charges and make an arrest, to torture, to make a media scene, or to 'punish' someone by detaining them even though you can't make the case stick.

The only acceptable reason is the first one, in which case you should press charges before extradition.
Sweden presumably has a treaty obligation to extradite him to other countries though - they would be legally unable to agree to such a condition. (I'm ignoring the fact that if they were able to except him, that kind of piecemeal approach to treaty obligations would be a terrible idea on the whole.)

MiniUSB wasn't too bad; it's somewhat easy to figure out which end is up solely by touch. Not only is that nearly impossible with micro, OEM's can't seem to agree on "up". Samsung and Nokia goes with wide side down; HTC and Asus (on the N7, their other tablets use a custom dockplug) have wide side up. And just for fun, on the USB cable with my backup drive, WD decided to defy the spec and put their logo on the top side; and the USB logo on the bottom.

And the Apple dockplug is even worse IMHO; besides looking near-identical on both sides, the cable with my iPad 3 printed the logo so lightly it's quicker to guess vs. trying to find it.
Assange v Swedish Prosecution Authority [20111 EWHC 2849 (Admin) (02 November 2011)

Paragraph 86:

"..The allegation is clear and covers the alternatives; it not an allegation that the condom came off accidentally or was damaged accidentally. It would plainly be open to a jury to hold that, if AA had made clear that she would only consent to sexual intercourse if Mr Assange used a condom, then there would be no consent if, without her consent, he did not use a condom, or removed or tore the condom without her consent. His conduct in having sexual intercourse without a condom in circumstances where she had made clear she would only have sexual intercourse if he used a condom would therefore amount to an offence under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, whatever the position may have been prior to that Act."

They can't - he'd have to enter the country on a diplomatic passport. And the UK can refuse diplomatic visas to whomever they want.
When the accusations first surfaced, some people at Wikileaks suggested that he does the reasonable thing and stand temporarily down from his role at Wikileaks while he deals with whatever clearly personal issues he has with the Swedish law.

Assange didn't take kindly to their suggestion, and they didn't last long at wikileaks.

Much more convenient for him to create a claim conspiracy theory and take cover in the hard and actually risky work done by wikileaks, and say that if he goes down, he will take the whole organization with him.

I am ecuadorian and currently live in Ecuador. Granting assylum to Assange is just a PR move from our government. You might not be aware of this, but our 'president' won a lawsuit for US$ 40 Mio against the 'El Universo' newspaper just because an editor wrote an article critizing him. In Ecuador government CENSORSHIP rules. Hopefully Assange can make it to Ecuador and then realizes with the type of people he got involved with and gets out of here.
It so WRONG to have our government be depicted as standing for liberty, freedom of speech, by granting assylum to assange. Please do some research. This goverment is all but that!!!!!!

Ah, Yes. I use to have a strong mental model of our security infrastructure and could troubleshoot problems by just hearing the description of the issues and a couple of variables. I would literally see visual gaps where my knowledge of the system stopped if I was drawn there. I would then fill in those gaps.

Now as a developer I haven't worked on a model long enough (my excuse) to be able to do that. But now I realize I already have a process for identifying gaps that I don't use.

I work with a guy who can do this and recently he has amazed me with how he can do it. Contrary to this though, sometimes I think he works in outdated models that limit his creativity.
Do you know if those charges carry the same connotation in Sweden as in the United States? IIRC, there was some confusion about what he actually is being charged with when the case was originally brought, then dismissed as unsubstantiated, then reopened.
