Agreed, the diplomatic angle is why it’s a total mess. I’m kind of surprised the US did not have her tried for manslaughter.

I’d argue that’s continued failure of the extradition treaty, and part of why it’s hard to craft them. You can’t make it too easy to extradite, but you also don’t want it to be too hard. I’m not sure what the right carve out would be to avo

Extradition treaties are voluntarily agreed to by both countries. If you are British or American and don’t like the consequences of this treaty, I encourage you to contact relevant politicians and tell them to renegotiate the treaty. I beli

A more minor detail of the piece: “The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, says that non-Americans like Assange do not enjoy First Amendment rights to free expression.” This is used to imply that the US does not respect press freedom. While

It’s cool to see other uses of the TPM in the wild! My coworkers and I maintain go-tpm-tools[0] for trying to make using the tpm straightforward. [0] https://github.com/google/go-tpm-tools .

This number is shocking, but it is not weighted by usage. Just because a medical treatment is a treatment doesn’t mean it’s in common use. On top of that, I find it 100% believable that doctors use understudied treatments. The reverse makes

Patient questionnaires with the right questions seem like the way to go. When I was considering a Bankhart repair for my shoulder the number I looked at was return to sport. Sure, people can be biased about this, but this seems about as obj

Benefitting developers is a consequence. They are the middle man for housing. You can't get housing without aiding them (at least not easily). If your goal is to avoid benefitting developers, you will have a hard time encouraging housi

This reads like someone in his department targeted him with the conclusion in mind: termination. Someone wanted him fired. They tried every option available, and they eventually succeeded.

Oh man these are collector’s items. I’d love to have one of the hats. Not $500 want, but I’d probably have spent double the price of the hat on them. Maybe $50-60 or something.

Godbolt is great for comparing compiler versions (and compilers). For example, you can see gcc's progression of efficiency for c atomics with https://godbolt.org/z/brsoEr . If you increment the gcc version number,

This is caused by induced demand. This comes up a lot for car traffic [0]. If you build wider roads, you will almost always just see an increase in traffic, up to the point where the roads are full again. The metaphor is not perfect, but I

This is typically used for anti-spam/anti-malware. FB has a lot of automation to try to stop obviously malicious content. Just, sometimes, it hits things that aren't malicious. I'm most familiar with the malicious links that,

This is a blanket terms of use for their data store. They want you to cite them. And they don't want it to be possible to launder the data by having a non-profit/non-commercial user re-upload, so that a for-profit user can then do

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Doubly so when there is motivated reasoning behind the argument. If a pharma company came out with a paper saying “we’re almost done developing a cure for cancer!”, people would be rightl

SGX has a stronger security model, but targets enclaves instead of VMs. If you want something to run in SGX, you will likely need to rewrite the software (you can’t call syscalls directly in SGX since you cannot trust their results anyway).

These questions underly a particular argument that I don’t buy. We institute fairly hefty national standards on schools. I can go and look up the average scores for standardized tests for students for the high school I attended, and, afaik,

This definitely doesn’t make sense to me. Time zones are going to be a huge issue. If a coworker told me they were going to work from an asian/european timezone, we could try to make it work, but it’s definitely a hassle. The story is

I’m not certain it matters. The hydroxychloroquine paper was retracted: that’s not a great sign for it’s effectiveness as a treatment.

I see this is a welcome change, particularly as (opt-in) kernel lockdown support starts to tighten down to the point where it is meaningful. MSR writes from userspace should definitely be disabled by default for locked down kernels. For fle

There’s a pretty big gradient between “in a national news article with his name” and “only posts on his blog using tor, from a coffee shop, on a burner device, under a pseudonym, with no personal details revealed” (or whatever constitutes a

Likely, he started out blogging when he was comparatively unknown. His audience grew, but he could not flip a switch a fix his prior lack of opsec without nuking his community. It seems he is now taking the nuclear route.

Really depends on the on the mouse implementation: g pro is only 80g. It’s hard to get a wired mouse much lighter without a honeycomb shell (mice in that style can push into the 50s).

The wireless mouse has been the exception to this rule for me so far: the G Pro wireless (and some other mice) don’t have the latency issues, and have egregious battery life (and the charging cable fails over so it’s basically just a wired
