Could something similar be done with other languages as well, say Simplified Chinese?

Purely conjecture here as I'm not sure on the specifics of the rental system but surely there is some measure of accountability in operation?

I was under the impression that by scanning a qr code it registered the rental to your account, hence discouraging bad actor behaviour with the potential punishments for discarding or hoarding a bicycle that those actions would incur in fines etc.

If not, how difficult could this type of measure be to implement?

These principles also have important political ramifications which were detailed in a recent article sharing almost this exact title: https://thedaleyreview.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/transparency...

Apologies for the miss-type, the error has been corrected:

"Firstly, it is important to recall that in the entire span since the United States acquired nuclear weapons, outside the two instances in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, it has not seen fit to use them."

There are auto-voting scripts that can be installed as plugins in Chrome and Firefox to help with this. I did exactly this last night and woke to find myself in the largest of the groups. It was entirely unfulfilling.

Trash talking laptops and OS choices seem to be a pressure point for HN users, considering how civilised discussion is normally.

As mentioned by some people in the comments, Assange may still be arrested due to the lack of jurisdiction of UN panel's such as this.

If that is the case, what is there that we (as supporters of Assange's plight) can do to add pressure to the UK government and forward the effort towards securing his freedom?

Perhaps an early vhs vs betamax episode.

Probably not but I don't see any reason why this kind of information needs to be sourced through spying rather than through a formal declaration between intelligence services. Not that that process need be transparent, just that the act of willing participation by the German administration would likely produce a more amicable friendship.

All information might as well be completely free and open to the public for the security the practice of counter spying provides us. Additionally, the reason this level of infringement of privacy is so damning is that it completely absolves any notion of trust the German authority might have had towards the US. Attempts to form a more cohesive alliance in international politics will not be fruitful with this strategy.

Wouldn't that presume that the cause of the person's death came as a result of something that the person in question was responsible for rather than a disease or other invasive medical condition? I could foresee your argument remaining viable in the case of someone refusing to drink tap water, dying and subsequently attempting to sue the state for maladministration perhaps but if the cause of their death was not directly correlated to their own actions (rather than the actions of another party that had ramifications) then I don't think they would be liable.

@mattkevan could you provide a citation for this? A quick search nets Arthur C. Clarke's three laws, with the third reading:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - 1973, Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination

I'd like to jump on the back of this and make the point that, referring to the clock project in question, it seems a lie to label the item as a "hoax bomb" as if it were actually intended to even be a bomb, let alone an article of the hoax variety. Not to mention the obvious claim of guilt by association that the prosecuting argument seems to imply, I would add that it also useful to distinguish the reality of the situation so as to ensure that "hoax bomb" doesn't catch on. "Clock thought to be a bomb" would be a more accurate representation of the situation.

"The recent waves or unchecked immigration has produced nothing but negative effects to the population..."

Citation please.

Thank you for enriching my life.

Erlich Bachman co-founder of Pied Piper here. Pied Piper is a vision, or was a vision, of mine. Like other people, I like storytelling and do sing in the shower occasionally when I'm in the spiritual mood. Right now however, I am sensing a general lack of vision. Your muffins smell like shit. So do your ideas. Good day.
