I wasn't aware the legality of secession was ever officially ruled on. It was supposed to be part of the Jefferson Davis trial, but that never happened due to the full pardon of the entire south.
That's doubtful, as no random variables are apparently involved in the questions of geometry. The situation with the Gauss function is perhaps similar to that of pi, which appeared originally in geometry of circles and only later was discovered in formulae for probability distributions or sums of infinite series. Neither Gauss function nor pi seem to be naturally connected to questions of probability; but applications of the probability theory to special situations lead to expressions that use these most basic mathematical concepts.

> The irony of California wanting to be segregated from opposing opinions...

This probably isn't the primary drive behind the secession movement. Not wanting to pay federal taxes to a government that you don't feel represents your interests (see the CA popular vote difference for president) is probably more important.
Sometimes multiple wars are fought for roughly the same reason. The Scots have rebelled against England more than once, and they may still vote their way out due to brexit. Supposing that people are willing to accept defeat now due to historical reasons is empirically inadvisable.
Author here. I certainly understand that seeing progressively more sophisticated practical applications will help people "get" Eve. I look forward to that myself.

In the meantime, I hope I can show a "plausibility argument" for Eve's potential by pointing to areas where the status quo of mainstream programming is visibly less than ideal. Uniformity of data formats and operations across the programming stack is one such area.

They stop giving us water, we stop giving them food. Agriculture is 2% of the state GDP, 20% of the US food supply, and 80% of state water use.
Indeed. Which proves there is no shortage of tech workers if salaries aren't even keeping pace with inflation
It might be that the scientific circles have more data (that is, those of us in Japan only really notice the big ones and the local ones) that show that there isn't really a correlation at all due to the frequency of quakes in both areas.
The savings from not having to pay federal taxes would go a pretty long way to paying for water.

That's semantically difficult to say, i've seen it in other comments, too, self is not used in the correct frame of reference: The individual parts' self is irrelevant; yet you claim, they are not self aware; when you imply the part's weren't aware of the whole ('s self), you switch frame of reference. The self of the sum of the parts are just the parts. Indeed the parts are the awareness. The whole might be aware of the self of each individual part, but for that to be true, contrary to your statement, each individual part doesn't need to be aware of itself (it might as well code for some other part or whatever).
The part I'm most skeptical of is Eve's universal use of set-based semantics, whether it's needed or not. It seems like making sets and single values look different in the code would be more understandable than making everything look the same. Treating them as different types might be a good way to catch errors, too.

But SQL is very successful so maybe they'll do okay anyway.
There's about 39 million Californians, about 7 million Washingtonions and about 4 million Oregonians. As an Oregonian, the idea is kind of appealing but I'm not very comfortable with the idea of being politically dominated by California.

Yes because in-group is in and out-group is out.

Remember if the in group wants to do it, it's for the most righteous and pure reasons possible and everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. But if the out group does? It's because of their baser motivations.
> My semi-cynical thesis is that VCs need home-run logos on the Portfolio page of their website to keep their spot at the dealflow table.

The causality probably isn't:

LPs want home runs -> LPs look for home runs on VC pages -> VCs deliver home runs.

Rather, it's probably:

In the VC space, home runs make up the majority of the EV -> This common fact supports LPs looking for home runs, and VCs looking for home runs.

There are probably some synergistic effects where the two are more than additive, but I think the underlying cause must be that in VC space, home runs make up the bulk of the return.

To see this, consider PE firms or mutual funds -- are these industries a lot less into home runs? I would argue yes -- that for these firms they are measured by LPs by their historical average returns, or fees, or whatnot. Because in these firms that's the closest proxy for skill. Whereas in the VC world, home runs are the proxy for returns.

Arguably SCOTUS has ruled that you can't secede, and that the South did not in fact secede.
Hi. Sorry for the late reply. You want? Can't figure out if I can PM here on HN...
How is anyone supposed to distinguish the first 10 BTC from the last 10 BTC when the underlying satoshis might not even be the same? e.g. I might transfer those 10 BTC to an online store (web wallet, other trading, whatever) but then transfer them back, except I'll likely get a different 10 BTC. Seems like all you can determine is that you once bought $x and once sold $y. Since you can also exchange btc for goods, or mine it (which I believe even the IRS has different rules for), you can't say with certainty whether it must be $y <= $x or $y >= $x. So when you sell 5 BTC, it's either mining income (or other income) or a capital gain, but it seems like there's nothing stopping someone from always taking the least expensive taxes first.

Any state willing to secede would no longer recognize the authority of the US government, or the Constitution, so that's a moot point. It was treason for the US to secede from Great Britain, but we did it anyway.

It's not a question of "can" or "can't," but whether or not a state is willing to fight another civil war.

This is a deeply stupid and un-American idea, which will harm the US and help its enemies while distracting Americans themselves from the work they have to do to take back their country. As campaigns like this occupy our headlines, we are already losing on other fronts:

We'll see a lot more erosion of our influence over the next few years while Trump's clown car rolls over US civil liberties. We have to focus. Secession is not the answer.

Finally, I'd simply point out to the "Yes California" people that large parts of California a) don't want to break away from the US (including but not limited to much of northern and eastern CA) and therefore b) would be perfectly within their rights to secede from the new nation state in an infinity of recursively splintering secessions that will finally be reduced to one dumb guy who cuts off his nose to grant it independence (and to spite his face).
Agreed. The entire reason I got my parents to get an iMac and an AirPort Extreme was because I knew they'd never have to worry about them (meaning I'd never have to worry about them).

I buy airport extremes for the exact same reason.

Right, so either way, the slip of paper doesn't survive.

I'm not claiming my worldview is empirically testable or even verifiable. I just thought it would be fun to write it down in the off chance that it is true, so that people can later amuse themselves in hindsight.

If you were a scientist in the 1600s, and you read in the newspaper in the anonymous comments section that someone thought that "Time slows down the faster your travel. Time and space are two orthogonal dimensions of the same invisible fabric.", wouldn't it be funny for you to later find out that the random stranger that gave you that forgettable, idiotically insane theory in the paper actually somehow had astonishing insight?
Calculators are a lot easier in unary, no carry-look-ahead needed either.
You can kinda roll your own "single value type":

a != b

commit @error

I'm sure that's not the actual pattern you'll be using. My point is only that Eve provides a solid low-level foundation to implement higher-level patterns like a single-value type.

Genocidal I can grant, but we are talking about bank policy here.

Until California creates even more generous welfare programs and state taxes go higher than federal ones. It's not as though Medicare, social security, Medicaid, the military, copyright enforcement, etc will all still be funded by the remaining 49 states for California's benefit.
It would be one thing if California had a history of reasonable public finance policy but the argument looses weight when you consider how much money California is wasting on the Crony Express. You can't be the arbiter of fiscal responsibility while simultaneously building the equivalent of the Springfield monorail.
So he's a supply-chain dynamo. Vastly different skill set than that of a strong-willed and opinionated designer. You are right though, he is delegating the 'vision' parts of his assignment to his inferiors and Apple suffers for it.

I can't say I'm all that surprised. R3 serves as both an R&D lab and a place to connect vendors and potential clients. Moreover, the focus is on private/permissioned blockchain tech. The tech in this space is still quite immature overall and pretty much everyone has had a hard time building actual blockchain infrastructure vs things that are sorta like a blockchain. If you can't show clients value for their membership in R3 (because the tech's not there) then what's the value of staying a member (especially if you've seen all the vendors in their portfolio already) vs rejoining when things change? This isn't R3's fault of course, as I think the tech in this space is just getting started and they're in a great place to help it along; members will come and go.

I spent a year investigating blockchain applications for JPM so I've seen most of the permissioned blockchain solutions that are out there. Unfortunately, none of the solutions I saw were real blockchains. The more technical groups in banks (which GS has) surely realize this as well. The solutions I've seen consistently lack at least one of the following necessary features:

- Fast, Deterministic BFT Consensus (mining doesn't work as intended in private contexts[1])

- Smart Contracts (you need a deterministic language)

- Signed Transactions (TLS based authentication trades security & audibility for speed)

- Cryptographic data structure for transaction storage

There are other features you need, but these are the big distinguishers I noticed. While technically you don't even need smart contracts or fast BFT consensus, I believe the tech isn't useful enough to justify the migration costs without them.

Disclaimer: I'm a founder in the private blockchain space[2] and founded specifically to make an infrastructure that addresses these issues.

Texas has the resources to do it. We're largely separate from the nationwide power grid, have plenty of petroleum and resources to trade.

That's probably a temporary glitch in the Apple matrix however ...

this is another announcement after the earlier announcement that they do not develop monitor anymore. They won't develop wifi anymore. They are definitively reducing the Mac line ( you may love or not the new MBP, but they are clearly settling down on a single line of laptop with 3.5 models, and at best a status quo with the rest )

So what does Apple still do ? They do iPhone, iPad and Watches with a limited cloud offering. Everything else is shrinking: Professional line of software and hardware, Mac line in general, hardware ecosystem, even the plain first party software are somewhat stable (I mean, yeah there is TV coming and the rest is same old same old)

What is such a gigantic company doing with its boatload of money that they can't even ship 1 pair of headphone on time ? Even their flagship laptop recently announced has a 4 weeks waiting period, after working on it for 2 years ? (yeah this is an exaggeration, of course there are technical difficulties, but again that's Apple, an enormous, ultra-rich company focused on an extremely tiny product line)
No, that was supposedly Scott Forstall (and Ive flushed it all with iOS 7 once Forstall was fired).
I had Karma, but they did a double bait and switch (they offered unlimited with a bandwidth restriction, but then changed it after a bunch of people signed up, and then changed it yet again the month after, due to complaints...in both cases, the deals got worse and the pricing got more expensive for my use case), which made me hate them.

But, I use Sprint and T-Mobile. Karma is on the Sprint network, so the same network, but with slightly better prices. I have a 40GB plan from Sprint ($127/month, including the hotspot and the line fee), and 16GB spread across two devices on T-Mobile. And, yes, my phone can tether, but I have two hotspots, as well. I use T-Mobile for the Binge On feature, which is zero-rated Netflix, Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Video, YouTube, etc. So, when I'm streaming, I use the T-Mobile data, and for anything else I use Sprint.

And, yes, prices are outrageous. It wasn't always this way. Clear used to offer unlimited data for $40/month, and I had an unlimited data plan on my T-Mobile phone, as well. I kept the actually unlimited plan for many years, even after T-Mobile no longer offered an actually unlimited plan. But, then they started blocking hotspot usage (even on a rooted phone; not sure how they were detecting it was being used that way), so I had to switch to another plan, which was more expensive and much more limited.

Anyway, it works out to about $250/month; if I weren't sharing it with my girlfriend (who does a lot of streaming), it'd probably be plenty. I never used to use more than about 30GB/month when it was just me. I watch a lot less TV when it's just me.
This is a good point that I overlooked and I know my home city of San Diego was effected by this as well. However, despite these closings, the Military still contributes greatly to California's economy and that revenue would have to be made up. By the numbers I highly doubt these secessionists are also proponents of defense spending.
