Just to play the devil's advocate here... Such a move would pose some pretty big problems for Canada.

1. If Scotland were a Canadian province, they'd likely be a "have not" province and equalization payments from other provinces would go to Scotland. Good for Scotland, but this would be a drain on the rest of Canada.

2. If Scotland seceded from the UK and joined Canada, that would be one heckuva precedent for Quebec, which has held referendums on separation before. How Scotland makes the decision to separate (e.g. 50% +1 of a referendum vote?) would have a big impact on Canada, even if Scotland doesn't join Canada.

3. Like an unfaithful lover, if Scotland were to secede from the U.K., could they be viewed as anything other than a fair-weather province? Is it worth pouring resources into a province that's likely to leave later on if it suits them?

4. How would Canada-U.K. relations be affected by this?

5. How are military assets going to be handled? What does Scotland take with them, and what does Canada (not the biggest of military spenders) have to do to maintain Scotland's current military readiness? While I doubt the rest of the U.K. would pose a threat, they might not be happy giving up equipment, soldiers, and co-coordinating the defense of the British isles with Canada. It's fair to note Scotland would face all these problems if it goes it alone. For Canada, they are optional.

6. How are Canadian nation-wide services going to be rolled out to Scotland and/or harmonized with those of Scotland? e.g. Canada Post would suddenly have to deal with an overseas province. Flat rate shipping within Canada would suddenly cease to exist.

7. Contrary to what the article states, geographic distance is still immensely important. Integrating Scotland into Canada's economy would pose huge problems. Scotland would likely be better served with closer economic ties to the E.U.. Would Scotland want to abide by Canada's trade deals with the E.U.? Would Canada want to modify those deals to meet Scotland's needs?

I could go on for a while, but what does Canada get out of all this anyways? Haggis and scotch? Scotland has had a huge impact on Canada's culture, but that doesn't necessarily mean we should take them in as a province if there aren't compelling economic benefits to doing so. Becoming a larger country does have some appeal, but this is a case where the problems created may outweigh the benefits of growth.
I use but don't rely on bookmarks as I usually want to add some information when saving a reference. My tool of choice is Zotero [1] which I started using during researcher days and never looked back. If you organize your references into collections, then zotero can make some nice summaries for you.

I would disagree with what you're saying about companies not having set budgets. They may have a range but it's certainly a set range. The larger the organization the more hard the range likely is due to the fact that the hiring manager doesn't even set the range, HR does based on salary comps.
usaa.com is the best case example, it's just 8 characters and very fast to type but news.ycombinator.com/over?points=100 is 37, i'd much rather just type new and get the autocompletion of the rest. Also i don't want to remember if it was over?points=100 or points?over=100.

I'll agree that 3x to my ear sounds insane, but so did 2x a few years ago. I've definitely adapted to listening at higher speeds as I've got used to it. I can believe that some people are comfortable with it.

But you're right, sentence structure does play a part. I've listened to Treasure Island (Robert Louis Stevenson) and Excession (Iain M Banks) recently and both I had to drop to 2x because I couldn't follow at 2.25x. The latter because of the long ship names that sounded like sentences took too long for my brain to parse out and comprehended, and the quite technical language. The former because of the slightly old fashioned and uncommon language. On the other hand, with another recent book, Under The Skin (Michel Faber), I was totally comfortable at 2.25x. The narrator was nice and clear with no strong accent, and the language was modern and descriptive but not overly complex.
> ReSub

> The Skype team initially adopted the Flux principles, but we found it to be cumbersome. It requires the introduction of a bunch of new classes (dispatchers, action creators, and dispatch events), and program flow becomes difficult to follow and debug. Over time, we abandoned Flux and created a simpler model for stores. It leverages a new language feature in TypeScript (annotations) to automatically create subscriptions between components and stores. This eliminates most of the code involved in subscribing and unsubscribing. This pattern, which we refer to as ReSub, is independent of ReactXP, but they work well together.

That's interesting, I wonder how this differ from redux and others

I wonder also how is navigation is handled, is it easy to add react navigation in the mix?

Not sure why I cannot reply to your other comment.
Anyway, astronomy has nothing to do with the scarcity of photons.
If you take a picture of M31 you have a relative abundance of photons, with most of them not being point sources.
If you look at any planet or globular cluster or nebula is the same.
Only when you are observing single stars you are having that. And single star observations are for sure not the whole astronomy.

While I agree that your characterization of "innovation" might be accurate in terms of measures like column-inches or click-through rates in today's online media, I think history will look much more favorably on the lasting contemporary innovations from western nations that withstand the test of time.

While I have great hope for innovation in various Asian countries moving forward, I'm not sure that there will be many purely homegrown major innovations from these places for the next decade or three.

FWIW, I think that the catalyst for Asian innovation will be the exploration of areas that many religious westerners find inappropriate -- stem cell research, genetics research, etc. The question is whether then will be truly independent, or whether there will be a brain drain from the west that helps lay the foundation (much like Europeans did for the US in the twentieth century).

Regardless, we are in exciting times.

If they are tracking users who are not actively using the app then that is just plain creepy and wrong. Are you saying Foursquare tracks background location to thus day for users who installed it and tried it out once a few years ago? That would explain the database value but it's Creep City.

Operating systems should expire those background privileges for apps that fall into disuse (or do they already?)

Of course I do. Some of them neatly stacked in labeled folders, some of them just higgledypiggledy in the great unsorted. I have my bookmark history on hand to way back before the turn of the century. A lot of those links have died, obviously, but it's a neat historical record of my foci, foibles and obsessions over the years.

My data belong either offline or on serverspace I control myself. There's nothing especially secret about it, but like my email (going back more than twenty years), I wouldn't dream of storing data like that online outside my own control.

The bookmarking, by the way, used to take place in Firefox. The ongoing self-immolation of that once mighty browser has recently sent me to the Pale Moon camp. And it's like coming home. I couldn't be happier, running on various Linux'es on the household machinery. The Chrome/Chromium world hegemony is one of those sad, scary things I shall never understand.
I don't know about you, but the only reason I need shoes in my day to day life is because I grew up wearing shoes. Left to their own account, my feet would be at least as durable against thorns and rocks as a pair of Amer-Aid flip flops.
I have lots of bookmarks, mostly for a few purposes:

1 - Pages I want to autocomplete so I don't have to remember and type the full address or verify that I'm on the true site for my bank and not a phishing site

2 - Content to do something about in the future. Stuff to read later, stuff to download to my local machine, etc.

3 - Resources that I want to remember exist and be able to find. For example, I've got a page saved that produces blank graphics in whatever dimensions you want for use in stuff like web design. Forgetting what it is called, I could look it up in my bookmarks pretty quickly instead of having to open photoshop and create such graphics manually

Aside from the silly claim that log(0) = 1, this has a fundamental flaw: if the attacker knows a sufficiently long chunk of the plaintext (standard headers, for instance), then it's nearly trivial to deduce the key (using gaussian elimination) and from there to get all the rest of the plaintext. Even without known plaintext, they can use statistical regularities of the English language to reverse engineer the key with high probability.

Modern cryptography assumes the attacker has gigabytes worth of known plaintext-ciphertext pairs (even chosen plaintext) to play with, and tries to make it hard for them to recover the key regardless. This assumption basically forces you to think about computational complexity.

If California gets crushed, the rest of the country will starve.

And you really think that a military that couldn't pacify a city with a bunch of camel jockeys carrying AK-47's could pacify Compton let alone something the size of Los Angeles or San Francisco? Good luck with that.

Calexit won't happen because Californians really don't want it. We're a pretty level-headed bunch even when Cousin Cletus Red State shoots himself in the foot with his loaded gun--again.

The problem is that Trump and the Republicans are incompetent enough to actually do something stupid enough to galvanize Californians the wrong direction. THAT'S the real danger that could cause Calexit.

I agree that we'll probably find ways to keep ourselves busy (while I'm not sure if we should), but I think the worry about automation and job scarcity is still very real even if you just consider the temporary disruption of 'work as we know it'.

Even if newer generations will be prepared for different types of labor, that still leaves lots of people with skills that are obsolete and the inability to adjust. And I think this problem is much bigger for lower-schooled work, which is exactly the kind of stuff that'll be automated first.

I'm a well-educated programmer and many of my skills are general and abstract enough to adjust to a changing world with relatively little effort. But I suspect a truck driver without a degree will have significantly more trouble adjusting to a world where his job is automated away.

While white-collar jobs fall somewhere in between, even there I've seen the negative effects of automation and changing requirements, and I think this is only now starting to become a real problem. I've met quite a number of people (even in the < 30 crowd) who are shockingly bad with computers, for example, and the only reasons I can think of that they get away with it is that 1) their 40+ manager/boss is is equally 'illiterate' so the whole company is 'old-fashioned' or 2) they cannot be easily fired (which I approve of, personally).

The way I see it, many of these people are one crafty, ambitious, young tech-savvy employee, consultant, or competitor away from being obsoleted. There's just a lag between what is possible and what companies actually do.
Those states didn't have the majority of the economic power when they tried it. The South needed to win; the North simply needed to outlast.

My suggestion is: play with the REPL as much as you can. As for books: "Clojure for the Brave and True" to get started, and the very excellent "The Joy of Clojure" when you start to see the light.

I think the concept comes from the idea that Scotland, while defined as a "country", is already subservient to the U.K., a situation which clearly does not define the relationship between Canada and any other larger country, and so this is not about "stop being autonomous and come join Canada" but "maybe become part of Canada instead of part of the U.K.".

Considering who got elected in the most recent election cycle, can you imagine the nutjob that would get elected without California's large block of electoral votes anchoring the country's politics at least somewhat left? Imagine a country where Florida and Ohio are solidly blue and the Republicans still win national elections. Now imagine having to live next to that country and share a 1000-ish-mile border. Now imagine they have one of the largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons and no one pushing them to protect the environment in any way, shape or form.

Calexit gets scary in a hurry, even if there's no fight over letting California go.
