No. You need project managers to reduce the risk of stuff not being delivered. To do so, most of the time you have also to reduce creative opportunities. Therefore, if you're not strict to spritesheets, you get bigger chances of stuff not being delivered, but you also get bigger chances of stuff being brilliant.
There may well be provision to make exceptions to the standard interview process which are permissible under Swedish law. The question is what constitutes a good basis for making those exceptions. Does "the suspect left the country when asked to interview, refused to come back, contested the ensuing extradition order using every conceivable technicality whilst insisting the charges were politically motivated, then fled bail after exhausting appeals, but is now willing speak to you, conditional on the interview taking place in their current place of residence, which happens to be guarded by a foreign government opposed to your pursuit of the case" ?

Some people - even those not especially rigid and legalistic in their thinking, which individual prosecutors are perfectly entitled and possibly even encouraged to be - might reasonably think not. Even now they've opted to back down and talk on Assange's terms, I think it's staggeringly unlikely he's going to walk out of the embassy wearing handcuffs if he is unable to satisfy them of his innocence, so I'm not sure it really advances the case further.

In the law of England & Wales can you be charged without being taken in to custody?

I thought those on the run were "wanted for questioning concerning allegations of ..." and then when arrested they would be "charged under $statute for $crime" and read their rights, etc.?

In Assange's case, he didn't escape after being charged did he so ...? Can someone clear this up for me, thanks.

See for example: https://www.gov.uk/charged-crime/overview which doesn't quite answer this specific question. But https://www.gov.uk/arrested-your-rights says [roughly] after arrest you will be "charged with a crime" or released.
How about instead of trying to regulate Uber/Lyft, fix traditional taxis instead? Force them to accept credit cards, abolish tips, support e-hailing (make it a standard protocol that apps can adhere to), make empty/full indicators that actually work for street hails, don't artificially limit taxi supply with an idiotic medallion system, etc.

Or make public transportation that works for the people so they don't need Uber (looking at you, Seattle and SF). I actually hate Uber and don't like to use them. But I've been burned so many times by traditional taxis that I hate them more. I'd rather use a subway.

You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."

I believe that if people are not influenced by war propaganda they generally favor peaceful resolutions of conflict. This is definitely true for the recent Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but probably also true of Vietnam, US support for Saddam Hussein, the Khmer Rouge against Vietnam and so on.

If I'm not mistaken public opinion in the US did not support a declaration of war against Germany before Pearl Harbor, obviously in the case of WWII the US really wasn't left with a choice after declarations of war by both Germany and Japan.

Yes, but FWIW most linked list implementations have a reference or pointer to the tail, making appends not O(n), but O(1). However, there is a threshold, depending on use case, where a small vector being resized multiple times larger than the original will be faster than many linked list appends. Point being, either can accel depending on use case.

One of the authors here. You are absolutely right! In fact, I am currently doing something similar but it is not working as well yet. As far as this work is concerned, we wanted to see how model-free can we go.
When arbitrators/escrow-agents compete on fees, it drives fees lower as they attempt to undercut each other. That makes retirement attacks more likely (do a bunch of honest biz to get a good rating with the intention to get a big payoff from a final "score"). Its similar to the tragedy of the commons worries about miner revenue from transaction fees.

I think the better model is a more "decentralized oracle" design, perhaps something like TrustDavis or TruthCoin. With these "choose your arbitrator/oracle" market designs, it's a never ending game of distrust and whack-a-mole.

I would beg to differ on the saving money on taxes. I live in France, I have the $96,000 foreign exclusion, so the first $96,000 I make is US-tax free. I have to pay taxes everything above that no matter where I live.

The following is just for informational and entertainment purposes only.

So, if I were to hypothetically make $200,000 per year, I would pay US taxes on roughly $104,000 per year, instead of $200,000, plus I get to take deductions. So If I have $20,000 in deductions, I pay taxes on $84,000.

When I file my French taxes, my income justification is based on my Adjusted Gross Income on my US tax return since I don't make any money from French-EU companies. If I make $200K, have $96K excluded because of the foreign income exclusion, then $20K deductions, my AGI is roughly $84,000. So the $84,000 is my income in terms of France. Now, I get to then take whatever French deductions we are eligible for and pay taxes on whatever the reminder happens to be. Let's say that remainder is $80K. I now pay French tax on that $80K, which would be taxed at an effective rate of 22% (the French system is similar to the US in that each "band" of income it taxed at a higher rate with the top marginal rate being 45%.) So that's roughly $17K in taxes, which are then dollar-for-dollar deductible from US taxes owed. (That dollar for dollar deduction is based on the US-France tax treaty, so that might not apply to other places.)

Let's say the approximate effective tax rate of $84K is roughly 22%. That means I'd owe $17K to the US, but I paid $17K to France, so I pay zero US taxes under this scenario and overall I paid $17K in taxes on $200K in income, which works out to an 8.5% tax rate. This of course would not apply if you earned income from within Europe.

If you want to live in the Bahamas and you have an adjusted gross income of $96K or less per year, you'll pay zero total taxes. Same for Bahrain, Brunei, Kuwait, British Virgin Islands. But you also have countries that don't tax your worldwide income, only income earned within that country. So if you're clever and do your research, you will absolutely save money on taxes living outside the United States. You also get the bonus of not paying any state income taxes either. Given the EUR/USD weakness at the moment, there really hasn't been a better time to live in the EU if you're making US dollars. However, the tax regimes of each country are often very different, so do your homework.
True, and I also find it BETTER. It actually came when Atlassian bought out BitBucket[1].

Containers are in Solaris and FreeBSD forever.. before containers you could use virtual machines. Nobody has a problem with containers...

The problem is that you run and download arbitrary unverified binary code in your system by design. E.g. in the docker registry or when installing a major "bigdata" related project...

It's opaque and a lot of work to check the integrity and updating becomes a nightmare when you have randomly downloaded 150 jars - of which 1 or 2 have an serious security flaw. I'm not even talking about attacks from secret services or good attackers.

I've read it as a rant in favor of establishing something like signed apt-repositories with public-key encryption for the world of java/maven and containers. And this is a very valid point that is just not there.

That reversible watch face seems pretty gimicky. That looks more like something they did because it's hard to do, not like something that's useful or good looking.
If someone else accused of the crime was in a similar predicament - actively willing to speak to the prosecutor, but not willing to be extradited for questioning as the state may pursue them for other matters - then I imagine we'd apply the same reasoning, believing that we should perform the questioning as invited to rather than extraditing them.

I made a swedish to english translation of the actual allegation (as in the actual case file), the original can be found here, naturally it's in swedish: http://www.magasinetparagraf.se/bilden/forundersokningen-avs...

Anyway, here's my translation of the accusation (to the best of my ability):

Sexual Assault

They were sitting in bed talking and he took off her clothes. They had sex again and she realised that he had only put the condom over the tip of his penis, but she let it pass.

They went to sleep and she awoke with the sensation of him entering her. She immediately asked 'Are you wearing anything?' and he replied 'You'.

She told him 'You better not have HIV' and he replied 'Of course not'. She felt it was too late, he was already in her so she let him continue, she was too tired to tell him once more, she had been nagging him about using a condom all night.

She never had unprotected sex before. He said he wanted to come inside her, he did not say when he would but he did. A lot leaked out of her afterwards.

She told him 'What if I get pregnant?'. He answered that Sweden is a good place to have kids. She jokingly told him that if she became pregnant he would have to pay her student loans.

On the train to Enköping he had told her that he had slept in Anna Ardins bed after a party. She asked if he had sex with Anna but he said Anna liked girls, that she was a lesbian.

Now she knows that he did the same thing with Anna. She asked him about how many he has had sex with, he responded that he didn't keep count. He said that he had HIV tested himself 3 months earlier and that he had sex with a woman after that and that she was tested and not positive.

She said sarcastic things to him in a joking tone, she believes that she was trying to de-dramatize what had happened, he in turn did not seem to care. When he was told the size of her student loans he said that if he was to pay her loans then she would have to give birth to a baby.

They joked that the child would be named Afghanistan. He also said that he ought to keep abortion-pills with him that would in reality be sugar-pills.

His phone rang and he had a meeting with Aftonbladet (swedish newspaper) on tuesday at 12. She explained that he would not make it to that meeting, so he pushed his whole schedule ahead by one hour.

After that he rode a bicycle with her on the back down to the train station. She paid his ticket to Stockholm. Before they separated he told her to keep her phone on. She asked if he was going to call and he said he would.

She took the bike home, showered and changed sheets. Since she didn't make it in time for work she called in sick and stayed home. She wanted to clean up and wash everything. There was semen on the sheets and she thought it was disgusting. She also went by the drugstore and bought 'dagenefterpiller' (abortion pills).

After she had discussed with her friends she realized that she had been the victim of a crime. She went to Danderyd hospital and from there to Södersjukhuset (another hospital). There she was examined and also tested using a so called 'rape-kit'.

GENIUS!Anonymous Hackers Release a Message for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
600 lines of code really isn't that much. At my day job a single file can be 2-6x that long, and there are a lot of files to deal with. Any project that gets beyond "Hey here's a neat little snippet of code that does something" will very quickly begin to dwarf those 600 lines. Also, from the original post talking about the new API and current graphics drivers, every developer is already implicitly using a couple million lines of code by using the OpenGL/DirectX APIs. They're just hidden from the developer in a closed-source binary.
You'll notice too that many of the shots show lots of mass manufactured duplicates, that's because the iWatch is particularly interesting as a watch design, there's not that many little precise mechanisms in it.

So in order to not just show a boring milled component of the face assembly or whatever they show lots of boring milled face assemblies.

There's nothing interesting to see here so we'll show you lots of uninteresting things to see if that makes up for it.

Having also spent some time learning about how PR firms work, I'm also deeply suspicious of articles like this as having been generated because somebody was so moved by the beauty of the watch they had to write a post about it. There are arguably better or equal looking watches on the market (smart or otherwise) that haven't received this attention.

The previous post on this blog is about the Mac Pro, which is usually compared to looking like a small trash can or a large ashtray -- even by obsessive fans.

It's surprising how much content we read as blog posts and even mainstream news articles are simply content produced by PR firms for their clients.

This is true, but I think it glosses over a bunch of important structure in society that isn't obviously connected to the voter. An analogy might be to say that ultimately, all of your behaviors come down to the neuron. While technically true, it ignores brain structures, hormones, emotional state, etc that are almost always more important in actual treatment than any attempt to deal with individual neurons.

Society is an enormously complex thing with all kinds of hidden influences and imbalances, and I think that saying "it's all the voter" tends to shut down thinking about the real alternatives for fixing problems. I'm not saying that I know what those alternatives are, just that they are likely to exist because we live in a society with structure. Since they're likely to exist, I think we should be looking for them and trying to address them in order to treat this kind of problem.

I used to feel that way, and was strongly against the argument of using tech for direct democracy.

For years I worked on leveraging tech to improve the transparency of (local) government, and to close the gap between the voters and their representatives. I believed in the representative democracy (unlike many other techies), I just believed it needed to be improved.

I unfortunately came to the conclusion that party politics have completely corrupted the current systems. Over generations the establishment has learned to game the system so perfectly that the elite will remain in charge no matter what happens. Even new "anti-establishment" parties are quickly absorbed or corrupted.

I've come to believe that the essence of renewing democracy is change itself. Not because one system is fundamentally better than the other, but because it will break the stranglehold the current political elite has on the existing system.

Change is the essential ingredient. Undermine the power of the establish parties by any means necessary, even if that means decision making will initially get "worse". At least it will be a return to actual democracy.

That, and transparency. Pretty much any political system can benefit from much more transparency

Good, you deserve a slap for being self-satisfied about it. There are loads of fully competent and skilled web developers out there with great, in-depth CS knowledge, and publicly berating them achieves nothing.

Web development is interesting, because it tends to mix in people from a lot of different backgrounds — in particular, some of them come through the design side, and move down the stack. That's good, because it demonstrates the accessibility and flexibility of the stack; it's bad because it can result in suboptimal solutions to common problems.
It's not too much of a surprise, both elements that go into water are plentiful and not particularly heavy, and both want to bind to something.

Does anybody else have any stories similar to this they could share? I always find this sort of thing fascinating.

Here's one[0] about when Facebook changed something about their login, and someone wrote a blog post about it. The blog post ended up being top Google result for "facebook login". A lot of people, it seems, were getting to facebook not by the address bar, but by typing "facebook login" into Google, and clicking whatever the first result was. Hence, they found the site, then proceeded to leave tons of comments, complaining that they couldn't log in to FB.

Well, technically they didn't abandon it, but rushed out a "completed" 1.0 a few weeks after some alpha or beta build. It's still being sold as a finished game, I believe.

I haven't played the game, so I can't judge each side merits on the controversy, but it seems to me that a major issue were people expectations of Steam's Early Access model. You are buying an unfinished game, under development, to fund it. It's not a pre-order. It's not a model Double Fine created, they just experimented with it using DF-9.

People seem to expect from this model frequent releases with shiny new content for an indefinite amount of time. The most popular early access games deliver on that, with a release date that never comes and frequent patches that don't necessarily have the goal to finish or polish the game for release but always adding new things.

Failure and the game being cancelled should be an outcome expected from this model, as well as from the Kickstarter model. A game being released that don't meet your expectations is another, and it should be factored in your decision of buying a game that's under early development.
