I think Julian will be free in a year or, probably, less, similar to Bradley Manning. He is too big to be kept in a prison.
Who know the US chief prosecutor's name? No one, except some aficionados. But Assange is known all over the world, he is a cultural icon, a personage of historical, or even biblical scale.
People are not scanned when riding on a tram or trolleybus, because they can leave any moment and go home on foot.
A modern parachute takes times less space than a hand luggage. Parachute technology is extremely reliable, because the gravity never fails. Just google "parachute safety statistics".
If people on tops of those skyscrapers had parachutes 100% of them were alive (google "base jumping videos").
Cheap and reliable parachute technology could replace expensive unreliable scanners.
It is not as simple as that. In most cases it is not the price of a location per se, but rather permissions to construct a building at the location.
Plus an archaic architecture. Nowadays the technology allows constructing multilevel buildings which do not take public place from a community, but rather add it. I mean a building on pillars where couple of first from the ground layers are public space.
Why houses and apartments are so expensive? If one builds a house entirely from the TV panels it would still be less expensive than built from the low cost bricks, wood, and concrete.
Resetting a deployed airbag is occurring relatively seldom nowadays. With the external airbags it would be much more often. Such a mass market may influence the price.
Certainly, it is impossible to send young baby-face astronauts to the Mars by 2020. It is too risky. If they die in an accident the young promising lives will be destroyed and people will be upset.
However, there are fit old men who could risk it. For example, try to do the exercises which this 70+ years old mad does: https://youtu.be/HMe2JyoIOYk
Such men if selected and trained properly could do it.
In my opinion it is a good initiative. Franky, I think Donald Trump is an old man, who is far from perfect. Still he is much better than those professional politicians, who surf on the populist hysteria. Including the one about the civil RPAS (UAVs).
The deaths happen mostly on the overcrowded roads, and the aerial deliveries can potentially free the roads. Not only in a city but also between cities.
The real reason of this campaign is that drones give too much power in hands of citizen journalists. In some parts of the world the civil drones are banned completely already.
There are countless cases when a corrupted official with a modest official salary built himself a palace hidden behind a high wall, or a respected businessman pours into a river contaminated waste to gain more profit, and so on and so forth.
Now all this dirt instead of being well hidden is being filmed and published readily available in HD, or even in 4K, and from recently with the lossless(!) zoom.
So this technology starts to interfere with the social structure of the society itself. I read that there are still in England the aristocratic lords living in luxury castles placed in vast fenced parks. These people are certainly extremely rich and influential, so adding 2 + 2 we may better understand why all these stories started to happen in the UK.
If one increases the distance of a smartphone from the body from 1 millimeter (a jacket pocket) to 100 millimeters (backpack) the electromagnetic radiation drops not 100 times but 10000 times due to the the inverse-square law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I am not against a car per-se. But roads are a limited resource. Why to use a car to transport some papers from one office to another in a city? It creates too much traffic, jams, over-pollution, etc.
It can be done automatically by RPASs. All is needed a tiny helipad on a building roof and some leadership.
I heard at a conference that the Lufthansa high rank official said that he has no doubt that in future cargo will be transported by airplanes without pilots. https://www.lufthansa-aerial-s... But for this a leadership is required.
Every year about 1.5 million people are killed on roads in car accidents globally; times more a badly injured. These are figures consistent with a world war. You can check this statistics easily via a search.
Even more people are affected by cars' toxic pollution, both the exhaust and the rubber dust. At the same time about 50% of all traffic is a delivery of some kind. Civil RPASs (remotely piloted aircraft systems) could free roads from this excessive traffic, to save millions of lives.
However, the technology have got a bad reputation due to the military usage. Also citizen journalists all over the world have exposed some inconvenient facts via aerial photography & videography.
Basically, nowadays the civil RPASs are practically banned by the over-regulation. Who could know five years ago that it will come to this?
... They were infected with Wolbachia, a common bacterium. When those 80,000 lab-bred Wolbachia-infected, male mosquitoes...
I imagine this is how all these mysterious diseases appear, like AIDS, Ebola, etc. When non-medical doctors start practicing medicine on a global scale.
I had an old but still good laptop with Windows XP. This OS was not supported anymore, so an annoying popup messages was appearing every five minutes or so.
I installed Ubuntu Linux instead and gave this laptop to my relative, a relativly poor elderly lady. She is still using it.
The only problem she has is that Ubuntu from time to time begin to offer updates, and she is not capable to install them. It disturbs her. And I have to do it. The update offers disappear for some time and she is happy. She uses it for email, photos, seeing movies, etc. But OS updates are too much for her. Probably Ubuntu developers think erroneously that only advanced geeks use Ubuntu linux.
De-facto they accepted that he has got an asylum in accordance with the article 14. And he is held in the embassy in London due to realistic fear of personal death. So they could either give him a free passage to the airport in a diplomatic car or bring his confinement in the embassy room in compliance with the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners https://www.ohchr.org/en/profe...
(1) Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.
The US, the UK, and Sweden signed the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and "Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners". Not any petty criminal can enter an embassy and demad an asylum. Actually, several articles of "Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners" are not followed in this case.
I do not argue if he is gulity or not. I do not have an access to files, I cannot question witnesses under oath. But a human cannot be kept like this for years.
I do not argue about the claims themselves. But until he is condemned (or exonerated) by a court of justice after the due process the wording "in my opinion" or "allegedly" would not be inappropriate.
21. (1) Every prisoner who is not employed in outdoor work shall have at least one hour of suitable exercise in the open air daily if the weather permits.
The US and Sweden authorities could count these six years of inhuman conditions as a complete punishment. One year is such inhuman conditions could count at least as five years.

One should be naive to believe that this could function for years without internal assistance and sharing.

It would be a very good solution for small speed collisions too. Especially for beginners. Even if not dangerous, a damage to a car may cost a lot.
Elon or anyone else can promise more than that after smoking a marijuana joint.

Does any leader of the US congress or the US government commute to work by bicycle?

Capitalism is OK, it is fine. The problems begin when it turns into the Imperialism as it was proven by the classics still in 19th century.
The main issue is that the Imperialism leads to an imperialistic world war.

Basically, I assume that all smartphones of about all brands allegedly became eavesdropping devices. So here are some simple ideas:
If one wants to talk about something meaningful it would be a good idea to go outdoors, say running in a park or woods, without smartphones.
Carry a smartphone in a backpack, in a zipped pocket, in order to reduce sensitivity of the microphone (an electromagnetic radiation).
Use text messages instead of phone-calls, not to keep it in a jacket pocket all the time.
At home or at office keep the phone on a remote windowsill.

the Russian Federation stopped changing clocks. And the EU follows this example in 2019.
In fact, it is not complicated, - a government makes a decision and publishes it. This is it, the sanity is back.
