He is not a fugitive from rape, he is "wanted" for questioning regarding allegations of rape which were answered long ago. Read the case and it becomes clear that the case most likely a setup for what Assange claims. "To give the US the ability to extradite him for charges of espionage, and dozens of other charges that will land him in jail for life." You should really either find facts before speaking or be more cautious with your words. He was never put on trial, never convicted of a crime, and to give you a shortcut both women are ex-girlfriends who had consensual sex with him frequently long before any allegation. Allegations came out much later. Assange has offered to answer questions and face inquiry in safe space and that has been refused. Sweden has refused to guarantee him amnesty from extradition if he came in for questioning. You can dislike him for a whole lot of reasons, but making false accusations makes you worse than him releasing too much information.
There is a history here in the US of false rape allegations for political agendas. Duke got us Title 9, UNLV and at least a dozen other high profile allegations were completely fabricated yet hyped to continue to divide the country and used for political gain by our Progressive left. You don't have to like facts, but don't ignore the facts. There are plenty of articles and legal experts who defend Assange, and if you understand the media collusion with politics you will see why they are hidden from public view on your favorite TV show.
Your question can simply be answered as "no", but I think it's a good bluff. If the US accepts it pretty much demonstrates that the charges were fabricated and Sweden was colluding with the US to arrest someone they dislike.
Your second question demonstrates complete ignorance, or perhaps it was just buffoonery. France is not in the legal equation, at all.
It was ruined right after they bought it. It was hard to notice because Mojang's earlier versions worked just fine in stand alone or with the Mojang provided server.
Education _IS_ entertainment. The most brilliant minds in history were not surrounded by circus clowns and gladiators to learn, they took pleasure in learning because the end result is finding more knowledge and teaching others. The Academy in Athens was not full of hookers and cocaine, yet it produced the overwhelming majority of Political Philosophy we see today, the majority of the Mathematics we use and see today, and extended a language which became the root of most languages spoken today. Socrates died middle class yet taught, and still teaches those willing to *gasp* read a book today. Aristotle
s Trig and early Calculus, Euclid's Geometry, and Pythagoras's Math are still taught today. They did it without bright flashy lights and everyone being required to path them on the back and get trophies for "trying".
We have immense problems with Government mandated "common core" and that's after more than a half a century of curriculum cutting and reorganization to turn "Education" into "Indoctrination". And you want "entertainment"? Are you speaking from a position of ignorance or insanity?
Either way, you and people making these types of statements and demands make me understand why the USA has gone from one of the top places in the World for education to the 29th for math and science. This is not a problem of kids being dumb, it's a problem of parents being dumb and believing propaganda over facts.
Why do you not understand what a proper noun is. Government and government are both possibly correct answers depending on context. Sure, "Internet" is not "John John Doe", but Federal Bureau of Investigation is a proper noun too.
More often than not posts are considered "trolls" because they differ from, or harm the opposition. I occasionally get posts rated "troll" where the only argument against my position is ad hominem. My position tends to harm the progressive agenda, go figure.
As to not restrict my point to my own personal anecdotes, see how Trump has been treated since day one in media. I don't agree with all of Trumps policies and can happily debate where I think there are problems. The media flat out lies and claims he does not have any. I guess they can't find the keys to that interweb thing. Perhaps the people in charge of finding and reading papers are all now working at the same outsourcing firm as the Disney people?
Hillary on the other hand has scandal after scandal and MSM refuses to acknowledge them, let alone actually perform their journalistic duty and investigate any of them. I heard Prager and Shapiro talk about the people paying to play, including some of the people in the game. MSM however is way too busy telling everyone how courageous she is for taking a few days off the campaign trail for pneumonia. Oh, and did any of those same people praising her offer an apology to the people they demonized as "conspiracy theorists" for saying something was wrong with her? Has Hillary apologized to the people she may have infected from the magical time of diagnosis (Friday which no media person could confirm) until they had to wheel her away to that great medical establishment called "Chelsea's Apartment"? I know she lacks the Bernie and Trump support, but I'd bet there were at least a few dozen people exposed in the three days of campaigning.
I am pretty sure my cynic is showing.. sorry about that.
A social media outlet who has been repeatedly proven to censor information harmful to certain Marxist/Progressive/Socialist agendas, and been advocate for propaganda to politicians is being criticized and you claim the person making the criticism is a Russian Troll? How about you talk about issues which are derived in fact and stop protecting the various forms of media which would make the Pravda jealous? Are you paid to shill using the rules for radicals? Mkay then
We have customers demanding that we host their data in the cloud. Making matters worse, our executives all see it as a great way to cut costs. In other words, people worried about security are ignore when people above them can get fat bonus checks for cost cutting. Given the lack of punishment those people receive from all levels, that won't be changing any time soon.
Are you attempting to claim that the person is correctly handling conflict resolution by asking the Government to give her "her" way? Sorry, but that is absolutely not conflict resolution, it's bullying. Given that action, how likely is it that she ever talked to them and asked them to take down any photos compared to trying to bully her parents into taking the pictures down? I could be wrong, but generally gauge people pretty well.
I agree that there could be problems on both sides, but her side is open for inspection. Pictures of her on a potty chair (one of the ones I heard she had in her complain) are not bad by default. My parents had pictures of me on the potty chair, another in my undies with Chicken Pox, etc.. I didn't do the same for my kid, but that's not in any way claiming my parents were wrong. It was a personal preference where I simply didn't take photos like my parents did. They invested hundreds of hours on setting up photo albums, I didn't.
If the pictures were of her being naked it would be considered porn and her parents would have had to remove the photos and probably be facing criminla charges. That is not the case presented thus far, if you have different evidence show it.
Ahh, so _you_ are the arbiter of personal pride for all other people in the world right? Or they are "trolls" as you so gleefully liked to claim.. Your last line is all we need to know about you, a SJW
Sounds like a person with a mental disorder who should be receiving professional treatment, not receiving accolades for trying to extort money from the people who took pride in being able to raise a daughter and sharing that joy with others.
For the people who perpetually live on the slippery slope whinery, if the parents were posting legally "bad" photos they would be in jail.
Sadly, many of the people in power pushing for Utopia have no understanding of Human Nature. Lots of suckers fall for the same rhetoric they do, and the same delusional beliefs. "Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
I left out that part of the argument because people today tend to find anything not commercially viable to be a state of poverty. Value can be measured in many ways, but it's hard to tell that by looking at our large societies.
Lets start with the easy one. Remoteness is lumped in to Poverty. Hmm, I wonder why that is? It's the reason we tend to distrust media today in general. This is a open way to inflate the numbers and make people look worse than they are. Look, if you are Poor in the US you have access to much more than if you are at the bottom of middle class. That's not to say you have a higher chance of using them, but tax payers have put in all these programs.
Next, we go a bit more complex and say "Yes, history shows that knowledge is power and the powerful tend to try and keep knowledge from people." There is a lot done regularly to try and change that, but I don't see too many people taking action. The last was a teenager who killed themselves facing 120 years in jail. That aside, we still are not "that" bad. Books used to be extremely expensive and printed in languages which cost money to learn for the majority of history. Around the time of the Reformation however, that changed. Knowledge has become more and more available if people seek it out, but that last part is a chronic failure of humans. People can not be forced to learn, and learning is rather difficult and time consuming. People want to win the lottery and will scheme for numbers instead of learning simple algebra problems, even though they are guaranteed a payout with education yet slim odds of winning a lottery.
Are there people who make it intentionally hard for people to learn? I'm pretty sure some of the reports I read about 3rd world countries are true so "yeah". We won't do any more about them than we do about our allies in the Middle East killing women for getting raped or being the wrong Religion or having the wrong sexual preference. The conversation should be framed in very specific terms, but it won't be because that's not the agenda.
I don't see how this burden to search companies is a reason to weaken the rights of copyright holders.
Well then, you are not even trying.
Image thumbnails in search results would probably be covered under fair use no?
No, because there is no fair use provision here. If you own and run a pay-for site and link to someone else, you can be penalized for doing so regardless of the reasoning. This leads to abuse like we see constantly in the US with DCMA take down notices.
Frankly I'm surprised that copyright wasn't already enforced this way. Documents viewed on the world wide web are these ethereal things that are composed on the fly by client browser software as instructed by web server software. If the web server software instructs the client software to present a document which mixes non-copyright-infringing and copyright-infringing content, it seems eminently reasonable to me that this would be copyright infringement.
You are assuming that all copyright claims are valid, are of a valid duration, and benefit the artist. Fact is however, the overwhelming majority of copyrights are owned by big corporations not artists. Further, a measurable percentage of the copyrights are for things like the "Happy Birthday" song which should have been invalidated at first claim, expired at first renewal, and never ever benefited a single artist in the 80 years it was under copyright.
What if I distributed a bunch of mini printing presses that, when you pressed a button, produced a perfect copy of this year's best selling novel? Sure, I didn't actually distribute the novel, but I enabled a mechanism whereby the user, when using my device as intended, would end up with a copyright infringing document.
I think of the web browser in the same way. The servers tell it what to display. Therefore, if they tell it to display something that violates copyright, then the server has violated copyright.
Here's how I would make the rules if I could:
That is simply an absurd argument, which again assumes that all copyrights are "good" copyrights benefiting an artist. That belief is delusional to the point of you needing to be medicated if you truly believe it.
- Publishing web pages with links to copyrighted content where those links cause the display of the copyrighted content inline in the linking document, would violate copyright - Publishing web pages with links to copyrighted content where those links do not cause the display of the copyrighted content inline in the linking document, but instead merely lead the user to the content, would not violate copyright
Analog: you can publish instructions on where to go to listen to a copyrighted song. You cannot publish a document which plays the copyrighted song to the user.
That is an invalid analogy, not what the suit was about, and for the last time it relies on a bogus assumption that all Copyrights are the same "good" for the Artist Copyright. The "Happy Birthday" song is the easiest example I can provide as to the potential abuse of the Copyright system, but no the only abuse. You can find reports every day of Copyright claims against things like people's names, two word phrases, and lawsuits against people for minor infractions like showing clips for fair use but giving a message the copyright holder dislikes. Like movie reviews.
The amount of homeless people is not an issue of just poverty, it's an issue of a lack of mental health programs. It is cheaper for the Government to dump people on the streets than own asylums. The US also has a huge amount of corruption so tended to get sued a lot when they ran asylums, because it was cheaper than inspections and accountability. You are conflating the amount of homeless to be similar to the rate of poverty I think, but it fails. Count the Homeless and people in Shelters in SF, then compare that to the institutionalized in some other city in Finland and you would have similar percentages.
TFA is reporting _BULLSHIT_, pure and simple crap. Replacing people's current unemployment with a check covered by a new name is NOT Basic Income. Giving EVERYONE a check every month is what Basic Income is. So the PILOT is a crock of shit meant to appease people who somehow think it's a good idea for the Government to hand out money they confiscate in taxes and print to appease a populace who lacks employment options. People will also say "See it works!" and demand more wealth confiscation and checks from the Government because "look"!
The dishonesty here is simple and open, and meets everything else about the claims promoting Basic Income. Sorry, but I have not seen any intellectual debate on the subject. I have read what I consider crap claiming the government should redistribute wealth in the US this way, but no sane economist agrees with this. Interestingly Milton Friedman is often cited as a source for BI, which neglects the majority of his arguments (that Welfare without immigration control will fail).
Opinions do not all have the same weight, you are using poor reasoning skills. "The World is Round" is an opinion, and a very good one. The world is Flat is another opinion, but that opinion is bad. See how that works? There is almost nothing that is a pure true or pure false opinion, yet there are surely "good" and "bad" ones.
That people can make poor opinions is a different question. I don't care that your poor opinion is made public, it gave me a chance to make a correction for all to see.
I really didn't pay much attention to the remainder of your post. First impressions and all that.
I happen to use Sublime today, Nedit previously, and both replace tab characters with spaces. I'd be willing to bet that other applications do the same thing. Obviously this skews the result because the author may use tab but tabs get converted without knowledge. Additionally, many places strip tabs from files on commits. Again, this skews the result. TFA didn't bother to mention a pre commit hook as that would change the fakerovercy (sorry, it may be funny for a TV show but pretty stupid to argue outside of that).
When I write code (not my primary job but often enough) I use tabs much more than spaces. Most coders I know do the same thing.
Equal opportunity is not the same thing as equal outcomes. What you are claiming is that the latter is necessary, but the former is virtually impossible. I make more in my job position than many other people in the same position. I happen to have much more experience, knowledge they lack, a willingness to do what they don't, teach people what they can't, and advise people they would not communicate with. My job, like the overwhelming majority of jobs is not strictly producing X widgets per day. If it were, we would have a way to measure outcomes much more accurately. IN which case we would have like most factories do, and equal pay for equal outcomes.
What stops you from giving up your job so that the oppressed can work? Why does the progressive left always require other people to suffer to make up for suffering their policies have caused? I'll bet if your livelihood was threatened to support the narrative you would change your tune real quick. Strange how that works Comrade.
The real difference between the USSR's Pravda and the Murdoch/Disney media is that most Russian People were smart enough to know they were being brain washed, and admitted it when needed. People like you on the other hand..
Shows like "The Daily Show", which for years were a better source for an unbiased perspective, are today have turned purely biased. Stewart was left leaning too, especially on things like the 2nd Amendment, but at least it was not the full open bias we have today. He offered the countering position and occasionally made fun of the lefts mistakes in the process. The current media tells you openly that Hillary "deserves" to be President and that the competition is an Ad Hominem of their choosing (without facts to back their position in most cases). This is such an open bias that you should question the Hegelian dialectic on other stations with the same owners. That same media also happen to claim that any opposing positions to the Progressive Left is "angry", "baseless", "Conspiracy", "Outrageous", "Unjust", "bigoted", "Racist", and anything else which can be leveraged to silence opposition. And you believe them? Shame on you. Or perhaps you get paid to make such asinine claims, in which case Shame on YOU!
In your very diminished mind a scaling tax can't work as a wealth cap? Income tax was one of many taxes used to equalize wealth, and the heaviest used. We have and had others which were changed at the same time as the Income tax (Capital Gains, Estate) but those worked _after_ accumulation.
No wonder you can't name a reference for your position. It's based in delusional fantasyland which does not exist. You should really get on medication for your mental handicap.
Your cell signal is bad so you want the replace it with unreliable WiFi which may not even exist in the areas you are running rescue operations? Do you really believe that? How about FOBs with local broadcast abilities like we have used for the last, oh I don't know.. 60 years plus? Isn't that a more sensible solution which every reputable organization I'm aware of has?
That claim about "needing" it for communication is bullshit. Stuff some in your nose and take a good long whiff, it's bullshit.
Digging through rubble can not effectively be performed without both hands operating tools. When WiFi can let people dig faster I'll might reconsider your perspective. That is the smallest of concerns however, and again your lack of knowledge with rescues is obvious..
What I believe you were dickishly attempting to claim that certain non-operational issues, such as rescuer down time, can benefit from local's giving them access to their services. While that position has some merit one must consider that most services have data caps, usage fees, and overage fees. Additionally, rescuers may not understand local laws and customs which places liabilities on local users. In other words, you are effectively saddling an already devastated area with additional fees, while attempting to claim it's humanitarian.
When agencies providing services can both compensate locals for fees and cover their legal fees for any wrong doing by rescuers we can try to saddle the locals with the burden of providing communications. That time is not here, not mentioned, and completely ignored by people who lack perspective (like you).
Furthermore, logistics does not require local WiFi access for rescue operations. Not now, and not in the near future. In fact access of this type could hinder operations due to distractions. As with previous, this should be obvious to anyone with perspective. You want rescuers to be entertained at the local populaces expense. Typical, shallow, egocentric bullshit..
Sorry, but if you are digging people out of rubble you don't do it with Wifi. The whole "we want wifi" is confusing to me, who has been part of numerous rescue operations before Wifi was an option. Bases? Sure! Maps? Sure! Tools to do the job? Sure! Communication? Sure! That last part is not WIFI, it's the frigging Government operated Telecoms in every country. WIFI? Maybe for movies, music and personal time after doing work. I'm okay with that, but that should not be done at the expense of locals without any concern for legal aspects which leave locals on the hook for other people's actions. That should be part of the bases, which are setup by larger orgs with legal teams to handle the bullshit that the BSA may decide to direct at a local for a song a rescuer listened to.
You seem to think that the only problem is with the locals and rescuers, and not the thousands of people working in the bureaucracies surrounding those people.

Opinions do not all have the same weight, you are using poor reasoning skills. "The World is Round" is an opinion, and a very good one. The world is Flat is another opinion, but that opinion is bad. See how that works? There is almost nothing that is a pure true or pure false opinion, yet there are surely "good" and "bad" ones.
That people can make poor opinions is a different question. I don't care that your poor opinion is made public, it gave me a chance to make a correction for all to see.
I really didn't pay much attention to the remainder of your post. First impressions and all that.
I happen to use Sublime today, Nedit previously, and both replace tab characters with spaces. I'd be willing to bet that other applications do the same thing. Obviously this skews the result because the author may use tab but tabs get converted without knowledge. Additionally, many places strip tabs from files on commits. Again, this skews the result. TFA didn't bother to mention a pre commit hook as that would change the fakerovercy (sorry, it may be funny for a TV show but pretty stupid to argue outside of that).
When I write code (not my primary job but often enough) I use tabs much more than spaces. Most coders I know do the same thing.
So you choose to ignore the answer because it does not fit your bias. Got it.
Equal opportunity is not the same thing as equal outcomes. What you are claiming is that the latter is necessary, but the former is virtually impossible. I make more in my job position than many other people in the same position. I happen to have much more experience, knowledge they lack, a willingness to do what they don't, teach people what they can't, and advise people they would not communicate with. My job, like the overwhelming majority of jobs is not strictly producing X widgets per day. If it were, we would have a way to measure outcomes much more accurately. IN which case we would have like most factories do, and equal pay for equal outcomes.
What stops you from giving up your job so that the oppressed can work? Why does the progressive left always require other people to suffer to make up for suffering their policies have caused? I'll bet if your livelihood was threatened to support the narrative you would change your tune real quick. Strange how that works Comrade.
The real difference between the USSR's Pravda and the Murdoch/Disney media is that most Russian People were smart enough to know they were being brain washed, and admitted it when needed. People like you on the other hand..
Shows like "The Daily Show", which for years were a better source for an unbiased perspective, are today have turned purely biased. Stewart was left leaning too, especially on things like the 2nd Amendment, but at least it was not the full open bias we have today. He offered the countering position and occasionally made fun of the lefts mistakes in the process. The current media tells you openly that Hillary "deserves" to be President and that the competition is an Ad Hominem of their choosing (without facts to back their position in most cases). This is such an open bias that you should question the Hegelian dialectic on other stations with the same owners. That same media also happen to claim that any opposing positions to the Progressive Left is "angry", "baseless", "Conspiracy", "Outrageous", "Unjust", "bigoted", "Racist", and anything else which can be leveraged to silence opposition. And you believe them? Shame on you. Or perhaps you get paid to make such asinine claims, in which case Shame on YOU!
In your very diminished mind a scaling tax can't work as a wealth cap? Income tax was one of many taxes used to equalize wealth, and the heaviest used. We have and had others which were changed at the same time as the Income tax (Capital Gains, Estate) but those worked _after_ accumulation.
No wonder you can't name a reference for your position. It's based in delusional fantasyland which does not exist. You should really get on medication for your mental handicap.
Your cell signal is bad so you want the replace it with unreliable WiFi which may not even exist in the areas you are running rescue operations? Do you really believe that? How about FOBs with local broadcast abilities like we have used for the last, oh I don't know.. 60 years plus? Isn't that a more sensible solution which every reputable organization I'm aware of has?
That claim about "needing" it for communication is bullshit. Stuff some in your nose and take a good long whiff, it's bullshit.
Digging through rubble can not effectively be performed without both hands operating tools. When WiFi can let people dig faster I'll might reconsider your perspective. That is the smallest of concerns however, and again your lack of knowledge with rescues is obvious..
What I believe you were dickishly attempting to claim that certain non-operational issues, such as rescuer down time, can benefit from local's giving them access to their services. While that position has some merit one must consider that most services have data caps, usage fees, and overage fees. Additionally, rescuers may not understand local laws and customs which places liabilities on local users. In other words, you are effectively saddling an already devastated area with additional fees, while attempting to claim it's humanitarian.
When agencies providing services can both compensate locals for fees and cover their legal fees for any wrong doing by rescuers we can try to saddle the locals with the burden of providing communications. That time is not here, not mentioned, and completely ignored by people who lack perspective (like you).
Furthermore, logistics does not require local WiFi access for rescue operations. Not now, and not in the near future. In fact access of this type could hinder operations due to distractions. As with previous, this should be obvious to anyone with perspective. You want rescuers to be entertained at the local populaces expense. Typical, shallow, egocentric bullshit..
Sorry, but if you are digging people out of rubble you don't do it with Wifi. The whole "we want wifi" is confusing to me, who has been part of numerous rescue operations before Wifi was an option. Bases? Sure! Maps? Sure! Tools to do the job? Sure! Communication? Sure! That last part is not WIFI, it's the frigging Government operated Telecoms in every country. WIFI? Maybe for movies, music and personal time after doing work. I'm okay with that, but that should not be done at the expense of locals without any concern for legal aspects which leave locals on the hook for other people's actions. That should be part of the bases, which are setup by larger orgs with legal teams to handle the bullshit that the BSA may decide to direct at a local for a song a rescuer listened to.
You seem to think that the only problem is with the locals and rescuers, and not the thousands of people working in the bureaucracies surrounding those people.
