Cheaper, and in most cases it's good enough. I often read British motorcycle magazines, and I'm shocked at the anti-theft tips in the mags. Sure, you've got your usual tips on locking it when you're out. No biggie, I use a disc lock a lot of times myself, and wouldn't leave a bike on the streets of NYC without some serious locking equipment. But the difference really set in when one sportbike mag had a list of preferred baby monitors to use for the garage. That's for after the thief has broken into your garage (could happen in the U. S.), and is now working on extracting the bike from the anchor that holds the bike to the floor (I don't think they even sell these in the U. S.) while you're in the house (in which case a thief stands a non-zero chance of being shot in the U. S). It does make me wonder what the hell is going on over there in Britain.

I won't even try to explain what the difference is, but it has never even occurred to me to wonder if my windows can resist a hammer (I doubt they could, but have no idea). Granted, I live in a boring suburban town (see comment elsewhere: Redmond, WA). And when the Redmond SWAT team brings their APC and wants in, it won't take them long. And the bastards will probably shoot the two pit bulls before they realize they have the wrong house.

Maybe we should put it this way: the last person that the U.S.A. got its hands on that caused a similar amount of embarrassment to the U.S. government was brutally tortured.

Snowden would prefer not to find out if that trend is going to continue.
The UK was very close to intervening in the American Civil War.
Hah! I too, have seen that V150 APC driving around Redmond and wondered why they have such a thing. I talked to an acquaintence, an engineer for the city of Redmond, and he told me that the tires are so fragile on hard surfaces that the little buttons they use in lane dividers can shred the tires, each of which is several thousand dollars and each of which have had to be replaced a few times.

I have this experience too. In my experience Early Risers tend to be suspicious of night owls, but I think it might be a deeper issue of personalities. I found this link that says early risers tend to be conscientious where night owls are more of the creative types and it makes sense that two of those kinds of personalities might not necessarily get along well ... at least initially

>The U.S. has stripped persons of their citizenship for things as mundane as fraud, so this is hardly a made-up case for Snowden.

For naturalization fraud. That is, if the original basis for citizenship was found to be invalid. Aside from that, it's nearly impossible to "strip" someone of their citizenship, I don't think it's a power that even authoritarian presidencies like Bush & Obama claim to have.
>I doubt this would be able to shift it.

This is cheating on my part, but I agree and disagree.

a) Yes, it's unlikely any one event has the necessary inertia to shift a continent's finance capital from one city to another.

b) Everything starts somewhere. No single assassination is likely to start the largest global conflict in human history, yet Franz Ferdinand's assassination is credited with having "started" WWI. In reality, a number of necessary elements contributed, but human history is written in narrative fashion, and scene 1 of WWI begins with Franz, the way most people tell it. Similarly, the last ~40 years have been very interesting, currency-wise, I think, so, it may do to have an eye out for something big enough to light this powderkeg. Since so much of finance is based on trust, in one form or another, an event that dramatically reduces global trust in the dominant parties of the era would be one logically viable catalyst.
The truth is, we don't really know as much as we think we do.

A number of years ago I had a business-related email exchange with Steve Jobs at 3:00AM. I was coding, which I tend to prefer doing during quiet late night periods. I sure doubt he was waking up at that time. I'd love to read a study on this but I'd be surprised if there isn't a significant percentage of entrepreneurs who function better on a schedule that might be alien to "normal" people.
> The problem is that Sweden has thousands, or tens of thousands outstanding rape cases

That phrasing makes it sound like these numbers come from your ass; feel free to correct my impression.

> but has only pursued Assange with this level of detail.

What level of detail? They happen to know exactly who their suspect is and exactly where he has run off to, and thus far what they've done is ask that he be returned.

>If they vigorously extradited every accused rapist who had fled Sweden, that would be highly respected, and Assange would have had far fewer sympathizers for holing up in an embassy.

What does this even mean? How many accused rapists flee Sweden every year? I have no idea, and I bet you don't either. Maybe Assange is the one guy who's fled the country in the last year and this is what they do. Maybe they do vigorously attempt to extradite every single accused rapist that flees abroad. Maybe the Swedish authorities are working harder on this case because it's high profile and they're trying to avoid a PR mess domestically.

You're assuming skulduggery where there's perfectly reasonable explanations, and - this is me guessing here, so if you can reasonably show me to be wrong, I'll happily admit that - you're pulling assertions from your ass to back that assumption up. Stop that.
For the latter, you could very well be judged not guilty and go off scot-free. Whereas with exile you get thrown in the slammer just for coming back.

> States, like us, really dislike giving up their rights and liberties, such as the right to deny access to a non-citizen. A common system would force states to accept asylum seekers despite their desires and interests, which could damage foreign relations.

And it's tricky, when you might have asylum requests between EU nations. I understand the complexities. It just seems that, even if merely a vocalization (like the US Senate "resolutions"), it could carry some weight to have numerous EU countries vocalize their support for something like this. Although perhaps I am simply naive.
Excellent reasoning, didn't think about the person protecting their data as the one escalating the situation.
I've lived both ways (regular rising times that have varied from 4:30 am to 12 pm), but I'm a natural night owl. I find the somnic cultural fascism of early birds obnoxious.

This is just silly. You get the same amount of hours in a day regardless of whether you wake up early or stay up late. Other than missing out on the sunrise, none of his arguments hold much water.

There's no reason you can't exercise in the evening. In fact, gyms are typically busiest between 4-7 pm so clearly a lot of people find time to exercise after work. And there's no reason you can't be just as productive at night as you can in the morning. To follow the same name dropping technique he uses, famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill, James Joyce, Marcel Proust, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. And finally, you definitely don't need to get up at 5 in the morning to make a healthy breakfast smoothie that only takes 5-10 minutes to make. Just wake up 5-10 minutes earlier if you're really that pressed for time.

From my personal experience, being a night owl is easier on the body. Waking up early is great until you decide you want a social life that extends past your normal bedtime of 9 pm. Then your whole schedule gets out of whack and you struggle to make up for the sleep debt.

> That Wikileaks tells us much more about the United States federal government than about any of those other entities tells me something about Wikileaks

I don't find that's the case. Living in the US, it's not surprising that most of what you hear from WikiLeaks is about the US. Take a look at their homepage (http://wikileaks.org) for example, most featured stories are not about the US.

While I follow your logic, there are a lot of companies out there like this. They're called "hidden champions" and modern industry has plenty of hidden stories like these. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_champions

The main point here is that companies like this might not be as sexy as the short term vc-funded explosive growth companies that are always in the news, but like small stars, they burn for a much longer time and are much more stable than the massive stars that quickly run out of fuel and turn into dwarfs and black holes later on.

Well... that was bad, but it was bad for different reasons. Mitnick himself waived his right to a speedy trial. The government swamped him and his court in so much shit that he'd have a difficult time preparing a proper defense otherwise.

The flipside for Snowden is that at least it will count as time served so if he gets sentenced to more than 2 years it might actually be beneficial as I'd imagine you get to meet with your lawyers more often while prepping for trial.
> People everywhere just wanna be free. We ought to be hearing a lot more about all the various governmental data-gathering and surveillance programs, everywhere in the world, and of course we should also be learning more about the actions of private business corporations to gather data on all of us. That Wikileaks tells us much more about the United States federal government than about any of those other entities tells me something about Wikileaks, and perhaps tells me something favorable about the United States.

While I agree that surveillance happens everywhere, USA is in unique position of power to do it, considering how much of internet traffic moves through US-based companies. That said, I also agree that the very fact of existence of outrage caused by PRISM is telling about the US citizens and government, people in Russia, for example, assume that tchekists from FSB are already watching every their step or at the very least able to do so.

It's not so fucking difficult to ensure that your car windows are not open enough to let the dog out.

Don't get me wrong, I am not approving of the the way that this situation was handled by the police, but the fault lies with the dog owner.

It is 100% the dog owner's fault for failing to ensure that his dog remained in the vehicle.

I said as much to myself as I watched the man close the door of the car yet failed to roll up the windows to sufficiently prohibit the dog from escaping the vehicle.

I have been raising bull-breed dogs since I was a child, and when you are a responsible owner of a dog that is capable of doing grave injury a large part of that responsibility relates to properly controlling your dogs.

I don't understand how this would be the case. Not challenging your assertion. I literally don't understand.

My understanding was that ETFs are usually intended to track the underlying commodity, not the other way around. In fact, they are frequently backed by the commodity itself of course (sometimes leveraged. Sometimes not).

So, to that extent pricing should still be pegged to Bitcoin, which would mean that supply and demand on the exchanges should be the biggest determinants of price/discovery. If anything, an ETF would seem to obfuscate the price given the difficulty of tracking the underlying commodity that can occur with some ETFs.

So, in my mind, for an ETF to even accurately track the commodity, the liquidity, price discovery, and other market mechanisms for efficient trading of that commodity itself must already be in place. Only then would the ETF serve as a proxy. Otherwise, layering another abstraction would seem to add more confusion than clarity.

Well it is not that simple. Relationship wasn't that rock solid. It was the appearance. And it was multifaceted.

There are economic ties, political, cultural, and military. It was always complicated with EU. Some countries are part of NATO, some aren't. EU doesn't have a military. So geo-politically it can't "project power" too much as a unified force. US and its NATO members know it.

If you read foreign affairs journal (they are stinktank propaganda often but they are read and acted on by many in power). You'd see articles about how EU is a geopolitical threat to US. It would eventually want to extract and use the same resources. It would want to eat the same bananas and dictate policy in parts of the world.

EU was and is a threat to US. If anything before those countries formed a stronger union, they were easier to manipulate as they could be played against each other. Like say offer Italy some trade rights to force France to change their stance or something like that.

Kosovo war for example was a good ol NATO show of force. USSR and then Russia was disabled in the gutter licking its wounds, EU was rising. It was time to bring in NATO to show the world who really rules Western Europe lest EU gets too cocky or gets some funny ideas.

Culturally, well we are friends. Americans love to trace their ancestry. Yes even 5 generations back and claim they are from Italy or France or what have you. They don't speak the language but sure as heck talk about how Italian they are. And so on. At least as far as culture and shared values. There is a closer relationship.

Anyway, I am just rambling without many references but just trying to say that it isn't that simple as "I thought we were friends and now look at what you guys did?"
