>If you copy my journal, I can still use my journal. They're categorically different.

maybe sub-categorically different, but not completely different.

If I steal your journal, you lose a key property of it -- its privacy. If your journaling your life as a thief, you could lose your freedom, if you're journaling your life as a spy, you may die. But sure, you haven't lost your ability to use your journal!

More importantly, if you have spent your time, effort, and savings do develop a new valuable process, and I steal it, sure you can still use it, but you LOSE the ability to use all of the profits that MY company now gains by selling products made of that same process. You lose your market advantage, you lose sales, you lose income.

I watched this happen with a small high-performance engine producer who had their engines made in Taiwanese factory. They saw some identical models that were basically being made by their factory & sold out the back door. They called their factory and they stopped the sales. But the competitor now had a large enough bankroll to hire another factory to make similar designs. AAANND now, they have a half-priced competitor, much lower quality, but similar specs, and they can do less R&D.

So, NO, your justifications that 'they can still use the thing that they had/have' are, to put it bluntly, merely bullshit justification for theft.

And it seems that you just said it was OK to take and publish your code under my name? Care to publish your IP addr and credentials so we can freely access your journals and code to publish for ourselves (presuming that you produce something of value)?

> quality variability cuts both ways
yes, virtually every manufacturer has an occasional problem. The good ones have fewer, address them proactively, and don't wait to be forced by the govt regulators. Hope your Chinese guys are the former, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Happy that your tire guys pass DOT and some FAA certs on their products; that is indeed a good sign. Still doesn't justify IP theft tho.

yes, I'd agree that a "People's Revolution" is a worse kind of inequality reduction.
I was curious what the experience of others was on this.

In my own experience, everyone I know who makes their politics known (obviously, selection bias) has been immovably in one camp or another.

And what's exactly the principle of democracy that the spanish constitution is violating?

The right of a part of a country to secede is not recognized by most constitutions around the world, and it is certainly not a "principle of democracy".

You want to change the constitution that rules your country, you get 2/3 of the votes of the parliament behind your vote and the constitution changes (or whatever rule your constitution has to allow a change). The whole point of a constitution is to have a stable body of law.

The Estatut went further than giving you something similar to what the Basque country has. It was ruled out because it was deemed incompatible with the constitution. This is exactly the same process any other country with a constitution follows.

As for the "rights" that you are not enjoying, the only one I hear repeatedly is one: collect and distribute your own taxes, because you pay more taxes than what is reinvested in Catalonia (of course this happens in roughly half of the country).

If New York asked to secede from the United States because they were oh so tired of paying more in taxes than the average in the US and receiving less than what they bring to the table (which is true for the vast majority of "rich" states) we will all see through the bullshit of the argument.

If you want to follow that argument, when do you stop? is it right for my city to secede because we do not want to support the poor in rural areas around us? (this is not a retorical question, some big cities have historically done that, and many of them today are tax havens). Can I as an individual decide to not pay my taxes because I pay more than what I receive?

Exactly what other right is missing in Catalonia?
The thinking is wrong I believe.

Our current world system and world view has long overcome it's peak. There is not much to gain, and the whole system slowly breaks and falls apart. That means there are not many true opportunities to grow value anymore. And the old profit and safety providers are getting rarer and rarer. For instance putting your money on the bank or buying index funds is no guarantee for safety anymore.

In that time of decline of course people pay more and more to get the same level of safety, which really becomes more valuable by becoming rare, and also becoming more pricey by the money having less internal value.

>Every single party in Spain is riddled with corruption.

The smaller the government the less corruption would be my assumption. Iceland seems to do a pretty good job of listening to its people.

> Polls means nothing. They can say whatever their planners want them to say.

Regarding polls, I have a theory that you should always lie if asked in one. The less validity that polls have, the less they can be used to manipulate the vote.

If no one believes what the polls say, there will have less influence and there be less chance of tactical voting, which is a real problem with our current version of democracy. Maybe some people think that tactical voting is a good thing, but in my lifetime it always seems to be the case that people are voting for the lesser of two evils, rather than what they actually believe in. Is that really what democracy is supposed to be about?
I do think bottom up is a good idea, but the democracy has to be fiercely protected at all levels. The fear is that eventually a party/leader emerges at the top and never lets go of control. Then they have enough power to control all the local elections, pushing out candidates/voters they don't like (eg China).
Applying the Law is "react brutally".

I've considered that as well, I feel like my choice of education/career (cs/developer) could end up shoehorning me into some kind of infrastructure/IT/tech related roles but at the same time, do what you are good at? I should take another look at them though, thanks for the suggestion.

What's the use of a non-mutable borrow? Is it just for speed, to avoid copying a large structure? Large structures are rare in Swift and probably not important to optimize. (Value types like String and Array are actually just one reference under the hood, and that's all that gets "copied" when you pass those by value.)

I suspect they do indeed use such URLs to track which link the user clicks. It's not that they log the IP with the click, but rather, the click allows implicit relevance feedback with respect to the issued query. This can be used for machine learning (to improve ranking, for example).

He says a lot of the guys at the VA that he talks to say similar stuff, like no matter what bad things came out of it it was the most exciting time of their lives and in a lot of cases they wouldn't change it, even if they have regrets.
>> Politicians should start Patreon campaigns to get livable wages from supporters and then just execute on what they stand for.

They'll just seek more and more funds to become richer and richer. This is how corrupt democracies work.

The only people who should be politicians are the ones who'd do it with no campaign funds and median wage. They need to be in touch with realities of their electoral base and have the desire to change it for everyone.

In the end, who are the Politicians representing? When the interests of the multinational corporation come in conflict with the interests of the general public, who wins? In a market economy the one with the money wins, should the same be true of the government representation too?

Ultimately, markets have a built in bias towards the top. In a theoretical perfectly functioning market the money will accumulate at the top until one person controls all of the money, at which point the economy completely collapses. Despite this flaw, markets are still the most efficient way to allocate resources and grow the economy. So the best solution we've found so far is to have the Government act as a backstop, draining money from the top and feeding it back into the bottom so the market doesn't collapse itself. Unfortunately, governments sometimes forget that and their economies suffer.

Plus, despite what many economists may think, money isn't everything. Money is only a means to and end, where efficient distribution of resources provides the greatest overall happiness in the population. A system where half of the population is abjectly poor and 0.01% are so rich they have no idea what to do with their money except to use it to make more money has failed.
Think about making a movie.

Is it speech? I would say so.

Does it tend to happen at a quality level for free? Empirically no.

Once I've made my movie, would trying to tell people about it be considered speech? I would say yes.

Does that typically happen for free? I would say empirically no.

This is a simple example of the argument, and in fact the one that went before the supreme court.

In general I'm frustrated by the loss of consistency in operating cars. A couple years ago I volunteered to help valet cars at a charity dinner for a university. Someone asked me because they knew that I drove manual so I'd be able to "drive anything." It was quite comical to discover how untrue this was, particularly since the event tended to attract people with luxury cars...

A lot of luxury cars no longer have a conventional key but some kind of electronic system. Sometimes it is proximity based, so you simply have to have the key and push a button on the steering column or dashboard or maybe center console. Other cars have a key that has some kind of electrical connector and must be inserted into the side of the steering column and then you push a button, and still another one I drove seemed to have a proximity key but you had to stick it into the side of the steering column and turn to start the engine.

Then you have to figure out the parking brake... Used to be that it was a ratchet pedal, or a handle in the center console, or one of those pull-and-twist deals in some 4x4s. This was already a little annoying, but now there's a huge diversity of buttons and toggles in non-obvious places. At least the electrical ones usually disengage if you hit the gas.

Now for the automatic gear selector...

One guy somewhat sheepishly apologizes that his car was hard to drive... but it was an old stick-shift 4runner with a strange feeling clutch. That one I was actually able to work out!

There's a legal way to change the Spanish Constitution. Use it.

On the other hand, you can't be serious saying that in the region of Catalonia there's less corruption than in the whole Spain.
That's just talking about funding for primaries, and Bush wasn't the first in that regard.

Barack Obama was the first candidate to reject public funding for the general election, and the spending limits that come with it, since the program was introduced in 1976.

I'm currently using Vivaldi, but have to say that it's not really an ideal analogue of Chrome as it doesn't carry over some of the everyday features and affordances of Chrome. That's partly understandable, because it's actually (apparently) intended to be a browser for Opera users to migrate to. It's also a bit buggy.

I'm surprised there isn't a straightforward and user-friendly Google-less Chromium browser available.

Color me skeptical and maybe one of the attorneys on HN could jump in, but solving the brain damage of an IPO reason seems like a red herring to me. SPAC could have value in a down market, when the IPO market is closed and a company is forced to raise a down round. Ratchets would kick in and founders would lose equity. If the SPAC, after fees, is able to offer a higher valuation to the company then its best alternative, it might actually work to benefit the company.

I haven't seen anyone comment about this down market scenario this past week and wondering if someone smarter than me had any thoughts?

I've been thinking more about this lately with the hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes etc that have been happening. I've been taking CPR/First Aid courses on my own just because I want to but I've been feeling like its not quite scratching the itch since its mostly preventative skills (ie, I hope I don't need it but if I do I have it).

I'll look into it for my area, may I ask if you are doing this professionally or are you part of a volunteer S&R team?
> I'm not trying to sell you on anything. I'm trying to explain why people might have a reasonable concern about changing racial demographics.

To be honest, your explanation doesn't seem very reasonable to me.

> I've tried to explain that. If you expected that other racial groups were going to use their political power to benefit their own race at the expense of your race, which is a totally reasonable outcome to expect, you might be concerned for the well-being of your descendants.

Seems to me the problem is unreasonably biased people. And yes, I agree they exist. The issue is you're stuck thinking that any other race is your enemy.

That's not how it works. Most Muslims, African Americans, and whatever minority is out there, just want equality. And yes, white-people too. In general: most people want equality. This isn't a racial issue. Equality is a concept that unites everybody.

There are a few bad apples out there: ISIS, Black Power, White Supremacists, NeoNazis, etc. etc. These people are all jackholes who favor their own race (or in ISIS's case: religion) over all others.

We should create systems to find and demonstrate "Hate Groups" and creators of racial tension and use our abilities to stamp them out.

------------

The minute you start talking about "racial demographics are weakening my race" however, you break the peace and you've broken the idea of racial equality. Its not demographics that are a problem, its the individual jackholes and jackasses who manipulate our political system for their gain.

Fortunately for America, these "haters" are in the gross minority. They're loud, they're proud and they show up in virtually every news story / protest. But their viewpoints are incredibly fringe.
Good point. Let's consider an electorate that looks at who is running, goes to their website in order to view their history and positions, and looks at how they have answered questionnaires from various organizations. They then use this information and vote accordingly, ignoring television ads and flyers.

For an electorate like this, a candidate needs vary little money. And extra million or two spent on ad buys isn't going to be useful, because people aren't voting based on television ads.

The desire to get more money to buy advertisements and flyers is a symptom of a larger issue - an electorate that votes based on ads and flyers, not positions (the situation is of course much more complicated than just this, but it at least highlights a major issue).

> Maybe you should start with the basics about European history.

Don't condescend to me. I live in what was Yugoslavia. And that terrible civil war? I spend my days surrounded by its victims. None of them saw it coming. Nobody did until it was too late.

> Spain had a more terrible civil war and Spain still exists as it was before.

"More terrible"? By what measure? Half as many Spaniards died during the Spanish Civil War as were killed in the Yugoslav theatre during the same period. By the 1970s, the result was the same in both cases: A powerful federal state, ruled by a dictator, comprised of areas with strong regional identities.

And in the most recent Yugoslav Wars? Sure, fewer people died than in Spain, but only because over four million fled. That's almost ten times as many displaced people as in the Spanish Civil War. Don't pretend that Spain has a monopoly on suffering or is somehow special.

> The history of Catalonia says that they have never really fought for independence.

Historians (and Serbs) said the same thing about Croatians and Slovenes right up until they walked out of the constitutional congress.

I could go on...

Listen, one of us is definitely ignorant of history, but it ain't me. I strongly suggest you read up on the events preceding the Yugoslav Wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars#Background

I think you'll find the parallels disconcerting.
As an individual, $5 is easily worth it so I don't have to pay attention to how much I have in S3 and how much I download. I don't have to worry about getting a huge bill at the beginning of the month.
I suppose I must not have been sufficiently clear - I wasn't offering the phrase "one dollar one vote" as a description of reality, but as a point of provocation. Those who find nothing objectionable in the idea of "one dollar one vote" are also unlikely to object to your "rebranding" of money as speech. Those who think otherwise are, I suggest, less likely to agree.

I was not attempting to change your mind, but to point out that your equivalence was mere opinion, dressed up as fact.
Seems promising! I've been looking for opportunities like this. More information would be helpful, specifically:

* What does the time commitment look like? My work won't allow me to spend two full school days out of the office every week, but I can probably get away with teaching in the morning and starting late.

* What are your curriculum resources? Teaching scratch/pygame is a different story from trying to ram a CS101-style course into high schoolers' brains.
"Legalized corruption" suggests that our system merely allows corruption. Given the power of money in elections, that's not really the case. I think a phrase like "mandatory bribery" or "bribe quota" is probably closer to the truth :/
A big social network is not a single community like a blog or forum. It's a collection of communities that do some of their own moderation (blocking people and deleting off-topic posts), with some moderation outsourced to the larger network.

This is good; each community can have its own standards, to some extent. When there is good local moderation, there's no reason to bring the legal system into it most of the time.

The problem is at the next level where you decide which communities are okay to host at all. And what do you do when people in one community attack another? Then it the dispute gets bumped up to Facebook or Reddit, to employees who don't have much context.

In some ways "share nothing" is a good standard. Each blog or forum is an island with its own membership. (Or its own bubble, you might say.)

But that's not where we are, with overlapping friends lists and follower lists, subreddits with absentee moderators, and lots of resharing. People want to cross the streams. They also want good moderation.

I wonder if there should be an intermediate level between local communities (tens or hundreds of people) versus the social network (hundreds of millions). Maybe it needs to be more hierarchical?
Or they'd just say "corporations are people, our corporate taxes will count".

Also, it says "Fuck you poor people, you don't get a say in government. If you want a voice you should have been born rich or got some one in a million opportunity." That's a quick road to corporate government ownership.
I guess it must take a lot of wrongdoing to provoke a Buddhist monk?

Thats a good point, I was thinking about that and first responder. Where I grew up most people are actually served by volunteer fire departments (extremely rural, only the towns have full fire departments and they are low population). Any time there was any kind of fire or medical emergency volunteer firefighters and first responders were always there super fast even if regular emergency services were ~30 minutes away.

My dad was actually a EMS/Paramedic for 20+ years and I think he feels similar about that to his military service. The long periods of boredom (low population rural area) followed by intense life and death situations mimics deployment/combat experience and if you have psychological issues related to wartime experience it can exacerbate it. At the same time, saving lives and helping people are extremely fond memories but when I was growing up I think the job was harder on him than he remembers these days.
