The world is not a libertarian tax fantasy of that degree, no. But it should be possible for groups that have a significant cultural claim to vote on these matters. And it should be possible that if a significant amount of this cultural group agrees on the subject that a mutual understanding can be obtained between the main state and the group they govern over.

It seems to me this constitution article was put in place to specifically specific regional identity issues that the country of Spain was built on. Spain is moreso a collection of regional identities than a firm national national identity.

As a counterexample, the Dutch constitution does not identify what the unity of the Dutch state actually means or that breaking Dutch unity is against the law a priori [1]. Historically speaking, this has not been a great concern despite historical [2] and modern [3] seperatist movements, because the Dutch "identity" has historically been synonymous with the Dutch nationality to a very large degree. The same cannot be said for Spain.

As a disclaimer, I'm not advocating identity politics here. I'm just trying to give a historical explanation.

[1]: The Dutch constitution does define treason but what constitutes treason is left rather vague and therefore up to a judge to decide. Would/should the same Spanish judge have deemed this referendum treason in the absence "state unity" laws? Not a rhetorical question.

That's a very obvious fallacy. Women's suffrage used to be legal, therefore all laws are wrong? or, the law I don't like is wrong?
Usually around 30-40, but this year after I discovered chinese novels I think I already doubled it.

Citation? Because there are a lot of studies on the positive impact of exercise. And there are plenty of very healthy people that spend most of the day sitting but implement spaced exercise plans.
This was not a problem with Socialism, it was a problem with the form of economic planning used. We must also bear in mind that there are forms such as market Socialism. Neither the USSR nor Venezuela paid attention to cybernetic planning; scientists in the USSR were repeatedly shut down by bureaucrats for suggesting it.

There exist modern planning methods, though still academic, such as those elaborated by Cockshott and Cottrell in Towards a New Socialism, it's worth a look if you haven't seen it already.

Nobody is suggesting rigid five year plans any more.
Yes and No. I normally would drop a message and ask if we should meet up. There are a number of coworkers whom I don’t mind them stopping by and vice versa. If in case of emergency I would usually just walk up to their desks and have conversations. Messeaging can be slow and confusing often....
The way you treat others' emotions is an ethical matter. For the rest, I agree. There are important discussions to be had about suicide. I'm mostly just saying cft's post was the wrong way to bring it up.

Stopped reading on the first graph. "Relative Death Risk" is presented as numbers without units. Everyone knows exercise is beneficial, this article shouldn't introduce you to anything new.
I go skateboarding at a nearby spot right after work. I found out that, no matter what, I have to take some time for my mind to unwind, otherwise I'm just not there. Although I occasionally talk to fellow people during that time, more often than not I just sit there absorbing the moment, watching the flow and listening to the pops. Such mindfulness gives some quietness to the mind and dramatically improves mind-body attunement.
The source material for this stuff is things like plastic chairs. Sea level rise may not change the trip, but it will increase the frequency for people's stuff starting the trip as beach homes don't move until the ocean removes them which is becoming more common.

Put another way if the ocean was 7 inches lower then fewer homes would have been destroyed by the tsunami and less junk would have made the trip. Sea level rise stacks with other events so there is more small events and bigger events get magnified.

Nah, these days the US government would just ignore them. It’s not like they take much of an interest in any of the tribal governments, unless it can get some politician some votes.

A better example would be California or Texas. I’m pretty sure we would not see the preemptive harsh measures Spain has engaged in.
"Can we talk about this later? I need to get <task> done by <time>." isn't rude (at least by my barbarian standards), and it would be very rude to ignore such a request.
> and never merge/push a change that won't pass tests/CI.

This can be enforced as well. For example using Gerrit + some CI, you can allow people to submit a branch to be merged, but it's up to the CI to merge it if it passes all checks. There's no "aren't allowed" anymore. (Which is great because people will make mistakes)

One thing to keep in mind though is you're describing a system that works for a continuously deployed web service for example. Once you have a product with versions, you need to have a system for previous releases, backporting patches, security/point updates, etc. It's a completely different game at that point.
Morality and legality are orthogonal.
You seem to agree that Denmark's vehicle taxation is remarkably high. Many people are reliant on having a vehicle, and one larger than a Polo, so their total taxation is remarkably higher than in other countries based on this alone. You used the word "rightfully" as if it's a moral given that people in need of bigger vehicles should be taxed more.

Vehicles aside, in Denmark, you have a gross tax of 8% in addition to payroll tax. You have municipal tax, a health contribution tax, etc. If you make more than DKK 479 600, you are taxed an additional 15%. This means you will be taxed around 50% on income tax alone. Then add the vehicle taxation, and VAT, etc.

You can try to justify this massive taxation. Rationalize it, based on your political views. But it's not wrong to say that Danes are taxed even more than Norwegians.

> Still, it's around 25-35% all-in.

That's false.

> I'm sure you can point to laws in the past that made a farce of democracy, but most of them aren't in modern democracies.

I can point to a HUGE number of laws that make a farce of the democratic process in almost any modern democracy. A short list that applies mostly to the USA but some to other countries also:

* Gerrymandering (the act of designing districts along demographic lines to influence an election outcome)

* First past the post voting (where voters can't vote for who they really want, they have to vote 'strategically' for the person they think will come first or second)

* Voter ID laws that seek to disenfranchise certain demographics by requiring hard(or expensive)-to-acquire ID they are less likely to have
Classic "Atlas Shrugged" moment: the hard-working, tax-paying people of Catalonia are tired of supporting the wealth-redistribution, equalitarianist Spaniards.

A warning for other countries where the tirany of majority is becoming unbearable? That would be pretty much the whole Socialist West at this point, although I am not aware of similar geographical concentrations.

It brings back memories of the old communist regimes of Eastern Europe: you did't like it? Tough luck! Leaving the country was ILLEGAL.

Small wonder those hipster techies rub their cities' other inhabitants the wrong way.
I am not a science article, I am telling you my beliefs, which I am 100% certain are true. Maybe in 600 years, science will be able to tell you the same thing?

> Because there are a lot of studies on the positive impact of exercise.

None of those studies say "this 100% reverses the effects of sitting".

> And there are plenty of very healthy people that spend most of the day sitting but implement spaced exercise plans.

I know experts in health and fitness who spend a lot of the time at the gym who will even admit to you that they can't get their body right. You can watch them implementing standing desks and various things and constantly trying to implement new things. None of them are working because they are constantly still trying to implement new ways to correct their sitting around all day. It will never work because there is no technology solution to anything and there never has been. There is no technological solution to climate change. You can't have 7 billion people on the earth. There is nothing you can do.
I love the replies to this. Not to shoot any one of them down, but it makes me wonder what would it take for us to admit 4chan are smarter?
All great movements of the past were illegal; that's what made them great in the history books, even if they were carefully planned by Machiavellian types in the background. One very popular past dictator in Germany was democratically elected though. If Spain wants to stay united, they really need to start talking to Catalonia instead of literally kicking their butts and smashing them on the ground, or they risk an abrupt end (maybe not today, but in 20 years when a new generation remembering this comes to full force and resentment can't be contained any longer).
Sure but unless you are extremely radical, those are the exception not the rule. Most of the laws, that regulate murder, theft, libel, etc. are all right. At least I like to think that most first world countries are approximately democracies, otherwise what's the measure of democracy we can have? because as I said, no unilateral secession is a pretty universal coded law in the first world.
How is this feasible for projects worked on by multiple development teams?
I'm from Spain (Madrid) and I support the referendum, because I'm an economic libertarian and I support the freedom of association and smaller States.

BTW, this is not a real referendum, as there are no guarantees. Of course, the reason why there are no democratic guarantees is because of the actions of the Spanish government. But you can see the "high degree" census control here in this video: https://elpais.com/Comentario/1506857481-5be7eb5d11476b5cac1...

But I also have to say that there is certain hypocrisy in all this. Pro-independence people already have the pictures and excuses they wanted: Catalans voting and the Spanish police exercising violence. But, if Catalonia became independent, they would also have a police, a repressive force. So you can see how the excuse for creating a new State, violence of the State, is hypocritical for an economic liberal like me.
Hell, a bunch of semi-autonomous US states tried this in the 1860s and got crushed by the full force of the national military for their attempt.

There is clearly no internationally accepted right to self-determination. Maybe there should be, but I'm not sure it can be made fair and practical.

The status quo seems to be:

> According to the Helsinki Final Act of 1975, the UN, ICJ and international law experts, there is no contradiction between the principles of self-determination and territorial integrity, with the latter taking precedence. ¹

I think I will wait until these A380's are "broken in" before getting on one if I have the choice.
You have already godwin'd me :) Anyway, imho this is still just fallacious. You are attaching to the Catalonian independence movement the adjective of "great". Then you say great movements are "illegal", etc. etc. Too much of a fact-less reasoning for me.
I'm not using the theory for anything, but that's an awesome link, cheers.
> Nobody can confidently assert this now; you are stating your belief, not a fact.

What does confidently asserting something have to do with a lack of scientific proof? Personal experience allows people to confidently assert things.

> We would need to do longitudinal studies on all the alternatives (standing desks, periodic walking) to be able to build up a picture. To my knowledge, that has not yet been done. It may take decades to build up a picture.

You can build up a picture on the previous decades where everything has failed. Technology has failed. Standing desks have failed. Current "workstations" were the solution to previous problems, and they have failed. Everything has failed. We are at a turning point where non-science religion people have realised that we can't keep going down the same path while technological messiahs keep claiming the future will be great.

We can look back at the decline in human health. Why do we need tooth paste? It isn't a revolutionary new advance, it is a way to make our teeth slightly better but never better than before farming and industrialisation.
Meh. I've been sitting at a computer for the past twenty years or so let's be honest.

Yet in just a few months I feel my posture improving since I started psychotherapy and somatic experiencing therapy for trauma. Along with that I go to yoga once or twice a week. It's importnat to note here because I see the cogs spinning already... I actually did yoga years ago and did not notice the same effects. Therapy has been key to the changes I've observed in my posture.

My conclusion is a lot of bodily tensions are connected with unresolved emotional charges. This is related to the nervous system at some level.

My point is that posture, and general routine is symptomatic of your general emotional wellbeing.

As with all things in life, moderation is the key. Just doing a 1h30 yoga class once a week will probably offset much of the problems mentioned in the article.

I mean, I've sat at a computer (both for passion and work) for the past twenty years and have NEVER been fat. In fact I was underweight due to anxiety. I put on some weight in the gym in my early thirties which 70% have stayed without doing any regular exercise (which further confirms a health issue symptomatic of emotional / nervous system troubles affecting appetite).

I suspect that improving posture and making an effort to keep a good posture goes a long way also to offset the problems of sitting.

Don't get me wrong.. I can see in yoga class that sitting a lot has made muscles between inner thigh and pelvis very tight, as well as all the front making it diffuclt to stretch in various postures.

The problem here is assuming that N hours spent sitting equal N equivalent "damage". But that's not how our body works. It may be that you only need a good gym or yoga session just once a week to offset much of the problem. Not that it "undoes" the damage; but rather seeps into the rest of the week with more tonus in posture, and more postural awareness.

TLDR: context. Nobody gets fat because of sitting. If weight is really an issue I would suggest to seek therapy or if you feel that is not needed, try yoga or massage. Anything that takes you out of the left hemisphere's imbalance (cf. "The Divided Brain" by Iaian McGilchrist), and nurture more being in direct contact with the body, sensations, breathing.. as well as being more connected with others outside of intellectual activities. Surprisingly a lot of people think that "socializing" means talking. No, to be truly with others around you, is to be able to be there instead of taking refuge in the mind. That means to be at home in your body and how it feels. It's a journey.. it doesn't need to be taken in a couple days ;)
I agree. That's also the only way to make sure the no voters participate.

And yet everybody loves this game. This is like some of the complaints against Facebook's website: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15368054 which ultimately amounts to "as a user, I am clueless about the decision tree being offered."

Good. Snapchat didn't explain anything, people figured it out. It adds to their curiosity. It doesn't need to be consistent to be successful, and it's not just survivorship bias.

All that matters is that the software solves a problem or taps into a user's need. In this case, this game taps into the need to satisfy curiosity.

EDIT: Ah right, people just want to complain. Go for it! Let's ignore the success that Snapchat represents with its inconsistent UI, or the fact that Facebook has ~2B users and an inconsistent decision tree, or that Git is the most popular version control software by far yet has an inconsistent interface. Ditto for Unix.

Ultimately, when we complain about things that are proven not to matter, it becomes hard to take the complaints seriously. If you can reach 2B users without a consistent decision tree, I think it's pretty safe to say that consistency simply is not an issue, no matter how much our cat-like desire for order and perfection believes otherwise.

The thread we're in is both a counterexample and rebuttal to every one of your points. The game is near the top of HN. Everyone loves it. I get that you're trying to argue against the idea that it represents good UX, and yet UX is an integral component of gameplay. This game was successful because it's fun and it had a good experience, just like HN.

What? A group of people getting together to vote to make a decision in no way violates democracy. It's the very essence of democracy. Telling people "you aren't allowed to vote because this decision belongs to us, and so your actions are illegal" is anti-democratic.

A government saying that voting in a specific circumstance is illegal doesn't make the voting anti-democratic. That simply makes it illegal.

Another example is that under 18s can't vote in most countries. If 17 year olds decide to get together and vote anyways, what they're doing isn't anti-democratic. They're just doing something illegal. They're violating a restriction of democracy.

A lot of people in here talking about how they started doing some activity once 2-3 times a week. Wow. Good for you, that can have some nice benefits.

It has nothing to do with the stated concern based on the cited research whatsoever at all.

The issues raised here refer to base level physical activity and its influence on things like triglyceride and cholesterol behaviors. And the repeating pattern is that even small activities, like moving around to get a drink, or just standing, literally doing nothing else, raise you into the threshold where your body is "normal" in how it deals with these things.

Sitting, however, seems to be an outlier, allowing a degradation of these processes. Well guess what? Exercising once a day even won't change that, as the response time is quick. SO this isn't about you being a bike commuter, a rock climber, or a swimmer. It's about sitting specifically. It's about mounting evidence that our bodies evolved to expect constant muscular activity even at low levels and the near zero that happens during sitting is an outlier.

You know, sitting is fairly unusual. In many areas of the world, both ancient and modern, people don't really sit. They squat, or stand, or shuffle around, but full on sitting is uncommon for a lot of people. I betcha the ol' asian/slavic squat activates enough muscles to not count as sitting.

In one of the papers they even concede that heavy fidgeting might be enough to breach the threshold.

So really what we're talking about is getting out of your chair, moving around, all the time if possible. Yeah that's hard for a programmer. Plus you can't ignore even very current research showing that standing itself, is harmful when doing it too much (for totally unrelated reasons.) So standing desks are a bad plan too.

You know, I can't sit that long. I am not too worried about this for me. I shift around too much. Stand and wander in thought, get drinks, go to the bathroom, slide off my chair and kneel at the desk. Grab the tablet and flop around all over the house (I WFH 100%.) I go crazy staying at the desk constantly, for work anyway. Let's not talk about leisure time :)

But upon reviewing a number of these studies, this is apparently exactly what's needed. Standing 1 minute every hour isn't a enough, no. But it's the right direction. The problem mainly being that sitting in a chair requires little to no physical effort at all whatsoever. That's the issue.

Exercising 2, 3, 5 days a week, 1-2-3 hours? Doesn't matter. Don't confuse the two issues.

That said, I bet those goofy desk bicycling things you put by your chair would do the trick, assuming they actually require some level of effort.
You can have both. With the right tooling you can prevent direct push to master, but at the same time implement CI to which you can submit your branches to be merged to master.

This way you can develop against master, you won't push garbage into it by mistake, and you can guarantee that each (first-parent path) commit on master passes the automated tests.
