It's more serious than that. Car owners (or co-ops) can send their cars to loiter in deliberately created traffic jams and have them wait there all day, because it is cheaper than paying for parking. Then you press a button when you want your car, and it turns out of the traffic jam and comes and gets you.

If you actually want to go down the road that has been selected as the most appropriate place to loiter... too bad for you.

> that it wasn't really "rape" anyways, and even much more misogynistic things

If I claim that I don't think that Assange raped anyone, I am now a misogynist? That seems like an extreme view, unless I'm missing something...

That said, I think that Assange's publicity seems like it plays a part into why this is being pursued. There doesn't even need to be nefarious pressure from the USA for that to be true.
If a link is going to destroy your speakers, give you temporary deafness and a good scare I would really like to have a warning in the title.
I saw an interesting discussion about this some years ago.

One of the person involved pointed out that yes, it does feel worrying to think that a soulless machine may not feel anything while killing people.

But on the other hand, if robots were used in place of people, the nanking massacre[0] would likely not have happened. It has historically required humans to really fuck up things.

It seems that the various Spiegel articles contradict each other: In the article I read it was stated that he already spied for the US and wanted to spy for the Russians too[0].
Both versions seem possible, will be interesting to see which one is true in the end.

You said "No", but I don't find the contradiction...
They're not doing QA. They're doing QC. QC (quality checking) is making sure that things have been done properly and the spec has been met. And, as you've discovered, the problem with QC is that it's usually limited to checking what the spec says and little more. QA is about defining processes that assure quality from the beginning - QA people need to be involved during the requirements gathering, writing the specification, during the build process, all from the perspective of making a quality product. Get the QA team involved long before things hit the test queue in focusing on how they can improve the final product from the start, including things like writing unit tests, organising focus groups, sitting in on code reviews, documenting things, and so on.
Failing to ensure personal health and safety is not rape. It may still be a crime, but rape is "forcing someone to have sex against their will", not "increasing their risk of being infected with an STD or falling pregnant".

The latter, as I've said, may still be criminal. But it's not rape.
I can't seem to find anything on the Googles for that product.

This is basically the speed advantages of C++ applied to Swift, a more powerful language. C++ also uses vtables and compilers often inline calls to methods if the method/type can be determined at compile time.

The argument as to why it can be faster than plain C is very weak, though. It says that if C programmers don't use the restrict keyword, equivalent Swift code can be faster. This is right, but ignores the fact that careful and competent C programmers will put restrict in all the places where performance matters. It's very hard to be faster than plain C, because it has a long, long history, and as a result, the compilers have been steadily improving for a long time. It is also less powerful allowing you to be closer to the actual assembly code that is to be generated.

But with increasingly better hardware, the speed gains of plain C are diminishing. Yes, you can be very fast, but is it worth the trouble of expressing yourself in such a low-level language?

Also, since you can't type-pun (alias) in Swift, you can't do some things that can be done using plain C, so it is unclear how it can be faster.
This is really cool, but quite hard. Maybe you could add some tip on how long you are supposed to hold the tones for? I'd also like to see who I am more prominently displayed, it took me a while to find it.

Yes, it is more nuanced than an on/off switch, if you consider all the different varieties of "sex" out there. No, omitting to use a condom while having consensual sex is still not rape.

I bought a house once, lived there for seven years, then sold it. I currently no longer own any land (I rent an apartment). So are you saying that I "was guilty" during those seven years and stopped being "guilty" when I sold it, because now somebody else is "guilty" in my stead?

I'm actually surprised your (weird) claim is so restricted. Why are people who make use of land not also "guilty"? If I work for a company situated on some land, or I drive to work on roads situated on some land, shouldn't that count too?

Thanks for the suggestions! There's certainly a steep learning curve, and based on my observations over the last few days I've come to realize that you're right, it's important to give an example to beginners so they can get a better feel for the pacing. Just a side project but I'll see if I can work that in!
well I had some study leave organised for months, the project was going well, and during the study leave a job came up. Now I wasn't looking, but something came up that was local (I live in the technology boondocks) which looked interesting. So I was already doing supervision and critical bugfixes only, although the team was growing, partly to temporarily replace me and partly because the project is successful. So I was on around 20 hours the first month of study leave, two on the second month, and I think in month three I will quietly fade away, just making sure that the main new guy understands the reasons for some of my more superficially insane design decisions.
I'm pretty sure he's being half-sarcastic.
Assuming that this is the truth, it would be extremely odd behavior on Assange's part to cut up condoms prior to intercourse.

The only reasoning that I could come up with for it is that Assange has HIV/AIDS and is one of those "I'm angry at the world so I'll give the disease to others" characters, which doesn't seem likely.
In the meantime, I propose this message: https://twitter.com/simevidas/status/485086680031166465

OK, I've been digging into this a bit further. When I do a request from a remote machine, I do get an Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header, but from my local machine, this header is missing.

I assume that the proxy on this network discards the header and thus breaks the site.

There is also a steady stream of propaganda in Germany concerning the Stasi. (Just like references to Iran and Russia in American media--never good, at best neutral, usually negative. There are actually positive stories on China now, though they be few.) I'm sure Germany considers such news "socially conscious" but in reality its just "propaganda".

The reference makes it relevant to Germans' ongoing political instruction.

I'll take another leap on a very thin branch and ask: did she consent to sex before she went to bed? "it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used" sure makes it sound like she did.

If so, I see two possible cases here:

1) He forced himself into her before she could even wake - a very aggressive thing to do to anyone whether or not they've consented. Then it's definitely rape without any doubt.

2) He cajoled her while she was half asleep and started having sex with her in a way that she would have consented to had he been wearing a condom.

If 2, the point where it becomes rape is when she realises he doesn't have a condom and yet he continues despite her protestations. If she never realised he didn't wear a condom, then it's not rape. It's an evil and possibly criminal thing to do, but it's not "forcing someone to have sex against their will".

For the record, I think either action makes Julian Assange a total asshole, and quite possibly someone who should go to jail. But unless he actually committed rape I don't see who it helps to call him a rapist.

But there's an extradition treaty with the UK which has a worrying low threshold of proof (that of "reasonable suspicion") which they'd easily clear. We've sent 77 people to the US in the last 10 years - it's used all the time.

If the UK sent him to Sweden both countries (the UK and Sweden) have to agree to the extradition as the law is set up to prevent exactly this sort of thing happening.

The claim you outline doesn't really make sense if you look at what's really involved.

I assume that he's referring to attack articles like this one:

which is pretty indefensible even if you subscribe to the view that the allegations are (i) completely false or (ii) have some basis in truth but are in fact the result of a disagreement between adults that doesn't make him legally or morally guilty of rape.

I think Sweden has a general policy of pursuing alleged rapists even when they aren't public figures. The UK have undoubtedly spent far more time and effort pursuing him than they would for a non-public figure, but that's because non-public figures are unlikely to have the ability to claim asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy.
You're making the same mistake I pointed out above. Ask people how they feel about getting a good parking spot and you'll clearly hear that they value it. Or measure the amount of time they spend driving around looking; it's a clear demonstration that they value parking.

They do, however, expect it to be free. It's not a normal market.

Note that the same is true about love and sex. Most people value those things highly, but you won't discover that by looking at what they pay for it.

Show HN: Tipue Search 4.0 released
Ask HN: What to do with my security product?
A few months ago, I wrote a security product based on the whole "scratch an itch" philosophy. I had a couple bitcoins stolen, and realized that most modern malware includes such a routine. So I thought it would be neat to write a service that can generate and monitor a (sentinel / honey pot) bitcoin wallet that can function as an intrusion detection system by sending email/sms alerts when ever it detects on the network the movement of money.

Fast forward to now: the product works great -- all my testing with malware, and potential customers testing has been really positive. However, I'm faced with one seemingly insurmountable problem -- I can't seem to monetize the product. And I'm left with the conclusion that my product is too narrow to stand on its own. Consumers just aren't interested, and companies seem to want a whole "security suite" or just one thing that is installed by a security consultant (Not to mention, a lengthy sales cycle -- which is hard on an engineer like me).

So I'm getting a bit frustrated with the process, and already have been largely dedicating myself to a new venture. However, before I give up entirely, I would like to take a shot at selling the product. I'm not looking for a million dollar exit or anything -- I'd be happy to sell and support/integrate it for enough to cover my living expenses while I pursuit other ventures.

I've tried cold-emailing/calling a few security companies, but they seem largely uninterested. And the two companies that had shown interest, ended up fizzling out after ~3 weeks of talks. Perhaps an acquisition at 50k is just not enough to be worth their time?

So HN, what should I do with my security product?
The chrome (nav, footer, etc.) that you mentioned is one part of the equation, but the other part is styling/layout of the content itself. That is, within a page that features chrome, there is still the need to layout other elements of the page.

So, CSS fails miserably at the latter. And, ironically, the former (i.e. chrome) can largely be handled very cleanly via other means (e.g. a templating system that modularizes the chrome and content elements).

In any event, what you're saying is true to a large extent. It is not ideal to cart around data with presentation, so it is tempting to impose some degree of additional separation by some technology.

But, the challenge is that it doesn't tend to match the real world. That is, the idea that there are or should be these agnostic HTML documents lying around filled with, effectively, unstructured data is more myth than anything. The unstructured data is in the database or elsewhere. What you're generally doing is taking all of that raw content and presenting it. That's how it ends up in HTML. And, the truth is that HTML is really a presentation language more than a document/data language. If you want the latter, then you'd move up a level to "pure" XML. But, the same problem exists: now you really do have raw content akin to DB data, so how do you now impose a visual layout on that data?

So, here, I would argue that the separation has largely occurred before you get to HTML, thus it is OK to use HTML's more intuitive layout capabilities to layout the document.

Attempting to instead remove it from the HTML is simply adding an abstraction. And, honestly, we haven't decoupled anything. We've just moved it to an interdependent, less intuitive document that must now be carted around too.

So, while CSS is onerous for layout, I think the motivation behind relocating layout responsibility must also be scrutinized. Even if a less onerous CSS replacement existed, the cost of separation must really be weighed against what is actually being gained.

I think that maybe legal system has, at least conditionally, accepted that having sex under false pretenses may qualify as rape.

The logic being applied here is that she consented to protected sex, not unprotected sex. If we want to split hairs over whether that distinction is meaningful, let's look at a couple of example scenarios:

1. Someone convinces a blind woman that he/she is her partner and has consensual sex with her. Is this rape? Did she only consent to sex with her partner, making the sex non-consensual? Or did she consent to sex with the person in the room with her, making this consensual sex?

2. A woman consents to sex, thinking that she is talking about vaginal intercourse. Her partner penetrates her anally. Did she consent to 'sex' in a general sense, so the specifics (anal vs. vagina) are not really important?

Let's reserve "rape" for what it actually is...

...your definition, and nobody else's?

This is a marginally unfair comparison: you realise saying this puts you in the same camp as those who talk about "legitimate" rape?

I honestly don't understand why we can't keep a simpler definition for rape: sex without consent.

You're saying that sex without consent is fine if that consent involves a condom.
but then why keep a confusing name and documentation instead of just using something like `withModification` ?
