I think you are missing a massive detail here, quite a few.
What concerns me a little more than how the poorly developed people on /b seem to be deciding that targeting people just by association is acceptable for retaliation, is whats going to happen when they annoy someone that's living in a less digital world.. Ergo, someone that actually isn't afraid of using the virtual ante and responding physically
The one thing that strikes me as a bit batty from the 'CIA is going to kidnap him camp' is that in the cases of rendition the victims generally do not end up on US soil, in US courts.
Much rather in another country who's legal is system is more opaque (or transparent depending on your version of crime and punishment)
Given the US desire to put Assange on trial you'd figure they'd do the public legal stuff.
Youll get the same connectivity issues with a native App that requires a connection that suddenly loses connection
Native platforms are far from bug free
It makes sense for the business to release a just good enough HTML5 app rather than platform specific apps built by multiple teams at x times the cost.
It's easier to find a html5 developer than it is to find an android, iOS and any other platform you want.
I'm quite surprised that its only now that the links to Argentina and Britians current wranglings with South American countries are being talked about.
Remember they are all friends. The UK has the Falklands which Argentina (mates of Ecuador) are very keen to take ownership, especially with the discovery of every conspiracy theorists favourite motivator.... OIL
Yes boys and girls, perhaps this whole thing is less to do with Assange and wiki-leaks and more to do with a bit of dick waving over old wounds and money. That's a better theory for whats going on now
The prosecutor said there was no case of rape to follow, but did concede that there was a case of sexual assault. The rape case was reopened and the sexual assault case remained opened
Sexual assualt charges have ludicrously low conviction rates (rapes especially), they are usually a he said, she said affair unless there's a significant degree of violence. Going down a peso route would be a lot easier, lower burden of proof... And evidence that can be fabricated without bringing a victim or witness to court.
Secondly, if the us wanted assagne they'd have him, shifting to Ecuador is probably a lot less safe than hanging around an EU country IMO
Thirdly, he had his chance to go back to Sweden, he ran. He had his chance in the uk, he ran. He's not showing him self to be of good character if the acts of abuse of process he claims to stand against are being carried out by himself
Guilty or not, he's got questions to ask. Running away isn't going to make his issues disappear
And lets not forget, sexual assault is a serious allegation, and if you had any sense about you, someone lying about using protection would really piss you off. Apart from the fact it means putting a woman at risk of having to look after a brat for 18 years plus incubation, there's also the risk of disease, complication through pregnancy and common flipping curtosey.
$50 a year is a lot to a student, or a parent with kids, or someone without a job, or a family with inky one source of income, or if you are one of the billions of people that survive on $1-2 a day.
That's why in places like india, Africa a $500 phone is still seen as laughable. Even ignoring developing countries and emerging economies, charging 50 bucks is going to be a stretch and seems a bit crazy if you want to appeal to people outside of the silicon communities....
Good to see people trying something ew, but isn't this just a bit of 'it doesnt do what I'm used too, so it's broken'
"Funny thing. Adding arrays returns a string. Subtracting them returns NaN. Again, JavaScript devs will explain why. Maybe even try to convince you that it’s perfectly fine behaviour. It’s not"
Things like this in all languages, are what separates pros from tinkerers, in my opinion. It can be confusing, sometimes there are no good reason for this, other times there are.
I like JavaScript for all its quirks. It's the quirks hat have allowed it to be used in ways that were never envisaged.
To the OP, if you find something that doesn't work like everything else would, have a look at exploiting that difference before trying to make it conform
In this case, i dont believe we do have a right. Do you have a right to a facebook account?
Basically i reckon everything on facebook belongs too facebook inc. All your statuses, photos, comments. Complaining about a timeline is like complaining that the council changed the types of flowers in a public park.
Could people be a bit less naieve about facebook and realise it is in this for the money, nothing else. If people really hate FB that much, maybe instead of killing our accounts we should start pumping them full of junk data and destroy the SNR for facebook's business dev
The laws of where the alleged crime took place are a little more strict than the uk and usa. That said really if the alegation is made by a victim and the system want to prosecute, then he should fight the rap, not run from it. End of the day no matter how much or little we share in ideals should put anyone beyond scrutinity.
When that happens you get people sending a thousand kilos of high explosives into a school bus and walking away with a book deal and secret service protection for life. If u catch my drift
I reckon this is probably q bunch of patriot hackers operated by some shadier puppet masters. Ironically probably someone that's not friendly with the US
Could this work in space or on other planets. I'd imagine this is the kind of tech that the military and NASA would be all over! If you could neatly pack the contents of your moon base and ship it ahead by a day.
Or even the military leave this just off the coast of some less than favourable country.
Great for setting up observation and living areas in hostile environments
Either way if you are push the boundaries past other developers you will get noticed in your environment and that will follow through to other jobs.
