- The State of CSS 2019 - Another edition of the yearly survey
- When Amazon CEO Werner Vogels was asked about the ethics of the AI and surveillance technology they are developing -"That’s not my decision to make"
- UK rules out death penalty extradition (2003) - "They give guarantees and we believe their guarantees" - There might of course be some angle I'm not seing, I am no expert in any of this, but if I were making the rules, based on the current information I have, I would say no extradition to countries that have the death penalty, the reason it's important is that it doesn't just apply to terrosits and murderers as is often suggested in the media, it applies to everyone, and it could be that someone is wrongly accused, it could be a business manager that is involved in some accident were people die, or some new modern crime that hasn't been invented yet, and once the extradition happens it might be too late to stop the death penalty
- US-UK extradition - The law explained (2003) - There is some imbalance in the arrangements, it;s easier for the US to extradite people from the UK, but this article doesn't say anything about how the death penalty is handled, I would hope that any application that could face the death penalty would be rejected because otherwise it creats a rather blatant whole in the UK legal framework, essentially "The UK has no death penalty unless the US says we do"
- rga - pretty neat looking command line grep tool that searches in PDFs, E-Books, Office documents, zip, tar.gz, slide decks, movie subtitles
- The end of erotica? How Hollywood fell out of love with sex
- Women's World Cup - Tough World Cup start for England has set them up nicely for latter stages
- Hong Kong Protests: About 2 Million Marchers Hit the Streets - As I read about the protests in HK I keep wondering why there are no protests in the UK about extraditon to the US, sure they have their legel system and everything on the surface is about freedom but they also have the death penalty
- Relearn CSS layout - Some neat ways to think of CSS primitives, also I'm liking the miniamlist design of this site
