Having drugs sent to you is evidence you bought them. Maybe not conclusive evidence by itself, but certainly good evidence. Almost certainly there would be corroborating evidence such as drugs paraphernalia, financial transactions, positi

Confusingly the word "agent" is used for both the recruiter and recruitee. In USA it tends to be Agent/Asset whereas the rest of the Anglosphere tends to use Officer/Agent.

What are you describing as "extrajudicial"? This court case?

IMO the tweets from Wikileaks immediately after Trump won support this interpretation. He hated Clinton since the diplomatic cable leak, and wanted to damage her, but never thought Trump would win.

His own witness said at court that at the time of the rape accusation, there was no US extradition - so at this point it seems like it very much was "what extradition? it's all about rape charges"

My understanding is that that narrative was true at the beginning. He only skipped bail when his legal challenge against extradition to Sweden failed. Some years later, the US secretly submitted an extradition request. At that point he wa

As a law abiding person (in the UK if that matters), in what use case would bitcoin help me? I don't have any particular hate for it, I would use it if it benefitted me, but I can't see any situation on the horizon where that wou

You are totally right. My #1 annoyance is research and demos in this space, that don't consider your question. That is why I think it is important that this project aims to tackle problems outside my control, that are genuinely hard to

Yes, it's very much Python only at the moment, although the concept can be applied to other languages

Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. The same is true of some of Bret's demos like the Braid one. I was trying to bring some of that tangibility to difficult abstract problems like from code jam. I think one of the reasons games

The one thing I really wanted to do was add a kind of stacking visualisation to the timeline to show depth of callstack. At the moment it is not clear at all how deep you are in recursion. I was thinking thin drop shadows that make it look

Hi HN, I have had this project on the go for a while and have decided to put it out as-is because I can't forsee being able to complete it any time soon. For people who go straight to the comments, here's a video - https:/&#

I'm not sure to be honest, I think it would probably work - you could just bundle all the dependencies (apart from the browser) using 'pip download eel' - that seems to be about 750KB of stuff. I'm personally not a fan o

I made this Python library for my own needs because I wanted to make some very simple (30 line) GUI applications using HTML/JS for the frontend. I thought others might find it useful in situations where it isn't worth the investme
