Extradition prevents the US from adding new charges, so we he goes, we will know exactly they are going to try him for.
Consider he locked himself up in an embassy, for what 7 to 8 years, seems like he punished himself. I don't think the US is going to charge him with anything else, another 5 years seems like a lot. If he is truly smart, he cuts a deal and give the US government information about the Trump campaign or Wikileaks, and the worse that might happen is that he sent back to Sweden for rape charges, if he stays in the US, he would be monitored or just keep from an internet connection and that would probably just break him.
I figured that the parents would be smart enough to realize that the school you get into does not help your future career. They already have all these advantages, is going to Stanford really going to open more doors than being the child of someone of wealth or a star?
If they wanted too, they could get their kids the best teachers or coaches who could excel in either education or sports; to cheat like this? They set a horrible standard of privilege for their children to follow.
More than anything else, these conspiracy theorists want to believe that they are special. Only THEY have access to some secret knowledge or insight into something that other people don't. That is why people want to believe in a conspiracy, life would be just too hard for them if they accepted the fact that they just don't know what is going on.
It did not reduce unemployment, but it reduced the stress of that situation for people. That social impact of that cannot be ignored. In addition, this was only 2,000 random people out of 400,000. That is not enough to determine the economic impact on any sort of measurable scale.
This experiment it is a starting point, not a failure.
I used a free version to get comfortable with the product and figure it out. Once I understood what I could and could not do, I wanted to commit to using the product in production. I ended up upgrading to an Enterprise license after about 1 year.
If you are not offering a free product, you are just asking me to do pay for everything to test a product. My time is not free either, and you asking for me and my company to commit to an unknown product. You can offer it for free while we try to see if we can get it work.
I don't understand the obsession with not offering a limited free product. I liked Pingdom, it has numerous quirks that I would not have over looked if they were asking for me to pay to use.
I was our company's monitoring department and was checking systems and applications and it fits this question quite well, and you know what, IT SUCKS!
Between management that does not give two f**ks, developers who don't understand infrastructure and systems administrators who cannot manage applications, no one wants to be on the hook for anything. Just TRYING to get them fix issues without pointing a finger is a nightmare. It is like being the IRS, you never get a call from them saying you did a good job.
Everyone is afraid of looking bad because management, which does not understand IT or process, falls to politics to address issues and everyone else is afraid to make a move that make get them into trouble.
DevOps and Agile crap, will not fix broken management.
Corporate policy is probably to push items that are about to expire first. They would directly lose money on expired items otherwise. It also tells me that they overstock too many items if the expiration date is too short, that whole logistics thing. Workers are just doing what they are being told to do, I would be surprised if they are that malicious or incompetent.
You are right though, who is going to want to buy week old bread online?
You listed studies about these dangers, but somehow they are all from China, with only Chinese contributors with no details on their results. Combine that with China have a serious problems with a lack of peer review I am saying that I have some bias on the source of the information. Whether it is listed by the NIH or not is irrelevant.
If the information is not that common and your struggling to find something on the dangers of 5G usage, I find it unlikely that Mills Valley has some secret knowledge that they are objecting to the installation of the towers. It is more likely it is just NIMBY's attitude which shows up a lot in wealthy neighborhoods and towns when they can get away with it.
So you linked to a bunch of articles from purely China authors in Beijing. While I see a lot of quotes about dangers, I guess if I stick my head in a microwave for 20 or 30 minutes at a time I can understand having some DNA damage. What I don't see is is any explanation of why a microwave sitting my kitchen is danger.
Might as well be links to the dangers of Di-hydrogen Oxide and all the nasty effects it has.
There are to few people in government to be overseeing every little thing, so yes it is a good idea for people to have SOME ability to judge whether a review is fake or not.
I used to do Perl programming, I had to move from Pittsburgh to Tucson, AZ because there were no Perl positions in Pittsburgh and had to move half-way across the country because they could find no one locally for the position. If you are Shenzhen, there are thousand chip programmers because there are literally a thousand companies with those sorts of jobs, of course there is no problem with finding someone there!
I can imagine most people would not know what a "pick and place machine" is. Why would people apply for a job just because a company is offering a salary? Most companies don't respond to most job applications and why waste time for applying for positions they barely know anything about? Where is the responsibility of the company to train and educate people they wish to employ?
Lets be honest, Microsoft has gone past peak. They have been desperately looking for a new business model and this is just another attempt to look at another money stream.
I guarantee that if this works to any degree, all versions of Windows will follow this model in the future, with shorter and shorter timelines. I guess I have been lucky to not really have problems with Windows, on the other hand I always turned off their auto-updates. If Microsoft convinces people to migrate to the cloud (for Office products) I have a hard time imagining that the Windows desktop will not be replaced with Linux at some point. That was always their biggest tie-in, once you lose that why not look at alternatives?
Finally, Trump told Apple what they needed to do. That was the problem with Apple, their management was totally clueless and had no idea what to do. They probably did not even have a meeting on the subject.
Now that Trump has finally spoken up and now they know what to do!
I think this election cycle people are becoming more open to voting to non-incumbent candidates. There appears to be significant interest and activity in pushing new candidates with drastically different ideas. While not a landslide of new people, it is enough to give people confidence the status quo is no longer acceptable.
BMW says they are selling a new car, basically 6 to 9 months from now, big deal. Tesla always had competition, but never really good competition. The two I think of off the top of my head are the Leaf and the Volt. I know there is more but I am too lazy to list all of them. It is enough to say that right now, it is not a one company market and right now Tesla is controlling it.
Mercedes all said they are just getting start and aren't dedicating a factory because they don't want to over-commit to the market. They are procrastinating other manufacturers and let Tesla own a large market. If they were confident they could sell a large number of their cars they would be preparing long term instead of basically doing a limited production line.
When Tesla is able to actually meet market demand (they don't need a reservation list) what do you think people are going to buy Mercedes or Tesla? That will be interesting but it will be at least another 2 or 3 years before that happens.
We have a person who was mad at Valve because he took away his easy income. It could have easily been a stock broker or a online scammer losing his income lashing out.
Maybe we should stop selling the american dream of easy money and a government with a "hands off" attitude to mental health.

women on Russell 3000 boards increased in Q1 2018 from 16.5% to 16.9%
Considering that women are, what 50% of the population, I find it hard to believe that woman are not being discriminated in one way or another
Russell 3000 companies with all-male boards dipped below 20% for the first time(19.5%)
Notice we are not talking about corporate boards made entirely of women here, 19.5% male only boards are nothing to be proud about.
Some observers have also suggested the focus on gender diversity has marginalized racial and ethnic groups who are also far underrepresented on boards. At the recent Equilar Board Leadership Forum, co-hosted with Nasdaq, one panelist commented that African American and Hispanic professionals often feel like they are being left out of the conversation.
It is not only women whom are left out of the board room, but race should also be a part of the discussion. cxO and boards are basically good old boy clubs, this should be not surprising. You mention "equal protection clause" they are applying that to protect women because they have been discriminated against fairly clearly. The legislation may appear ham-fisted but businesses don't really seem to be involved in addressing discriminatory practices. Government is there is do what is good for everyone.
It is most likely the pension fund is for upper management, most of the bigger participants have a 1 to 2 million each, and a few peons having at less 100k.
You don't have a fund for only 235 people unless they are a very influential and rich enough to afford special attention. Otherwise they would get rolled up with everyone else into a general fund.

I hate to point it out to you naysayers, but he is probably the least likeliest to be hacked in the whole organization!
Take that you geeks of changing password every week!
Uber's business regardless of who the owner is, does not change because their owner is doing something else as well.
Being paid a portion of the sale, like a sales person who works on commission? They are not all contractors, some are employees.

they haven't lived in a (real) socialist country.
Norway and Sweden have both been pretty successful at what they are doing, maybe they are better examples than China or Russia.
