"A considerable number of Catalans don't support it either."

So what? Just ignore it then.

As for the majority of votes, just tally them vs total population. Simple.

But now that it's blocked, they have put it in the spotlight.

"Either there is a clear, unambiguous, clearly worded, properly managed referendum (with some kind of legal status i.e. 'not binidng' or 'binding' or whatever) - or there is nothing."

Oh bullshit, have you ever seen any political party say anything 100% clearly, that's just raising the bar.

If it's a small minority voting, then why should they care? If it's something that may be popular... Well we're seeing where this is going now, arnt we.
> His motives? He worked happily for the CIA from 2007 - 2009. Then he worked for Booz Allen Hamilton/NSA from 2009 to 2013. That's seven years of employment in the security-industrial complex. Was he playing the long game then?

Your question is answered in depth in the documentary, in the movie, and in various interviews (written, as well as videos). Imagine someone who's patriotic at heart, who picks up signs where he's starting to doubt the things he's doing are patriotic (e.g. on the longer term, or in their specific targets). That's Snowden in a nutshell.

You're also seemingly unaware Snowden attempted to disclose the information before.

Furthermore, elsewhere in this thread HN user sig links to an article where he admits he did join "Booz Allen to gather evidence of surveillance".

> I don't think the question is security but privacy

Semantics, both are entwined in case as GPG. The latter depends on the former, and GPG is very much related to security just as well.

> Documentaries like autobiographies are often a vehicle for revisionist history.

And often they're not. They're used to tell one side of the story. The other one's the US government's take on the matter.

> In regards to [2], Hollyood is not really considered a good source of historical accuracy.

Not a statement of much, if any, value.

It wasn't the sole source I stated. If you'd have a look on Wikipedia article, you could learn how the movie was made (research-wise there's quite some details). If you'd have seen both docu and move you'd know how close the movie is to the docu (although also dramatised as mentioned in the movie itself, btw).

Title I, chapter 2, section 20 (page 16 in this pdf), in English: http://www.congreso.es/portal/page/portal/Congreso/Congreso/... )
Let's get the political reasoning straight.

Under Spanish Constitution, supreme law in Spain, the right to determine the territory of Spain belongs to all Spaniards (article 2).

What some people claim as "democracy" or "the right to vote" is actually removing this right from the rest of Spaniards.

Aside from other claims and whether there are political or historical reasons, the voting has been declared illegal by the "Tribunal Constitucional", highest court in Spain. End of story, it's illegal, period. And Spain (mostly judges and police forces) are trying to defend the law.

Now a quick note on the alleged economical facts: no, Catalonia does not contribute 16 billion to the rest of the country, it's actually 2,4 billion (this is what Catalonia published last year). This is called "solidarity", and it is what contributes to other regions in Spain to grow and benefit the country as a whole. Madrid is also a significant net contributor. On the other hand, Spain holds 55 billion in debt from Catalonia, which is unable to finance by itself on international debt markets. So numbers don't add that quickly as it has been said here.

Really sad to see this being downvoted.

Overpopulation is the root cause of many other serious issues such as hunger, lack of access to sanitation/medical treatment/education. We live in a world with finite resources, so the more of us there are, the less each of us gets.

Can you run the profiler https://perf-html.io/ and when this happens next, capture a profile of some janky tab switching. Once you've captured a profile you can share it which gives you a link. Then can you file a bug at https:/bugzilla.mozilla.org and include the link to your profile and a description of the symptoms.

I'm a native speaker, yes. You say "The Spanish Constitution says Catalonia is a nationality". It does indeed (emphasis mine):

La Constitución se fundamenta en la indisoluble unidad de la
Nación española, patria común e indivisible de todos los españoles, y
reconoce y garantiza el derecho a la autonomía de las nacionalidades
y regiones que la integran y la solidaridad entre todas ellas.

The Andalusian estatuto almost uses the exact same words, "nacionalidad historica" in the "unidad de la nación española". Can hardly be considered against the Constitution. Agreed?

One can argue that "Cataluña es una nación" is a valid interpretation of the Constitution (I won't, because I'm not a constitutional lawyer and I don't think you are either), but you can't really use the Andalusian estatuto to support that the Tribunal Constitucional gives inconsistent rulings. (And has the Andalusian one even been challenged? I don't think the Tribunal Constitucional can strike down laws that haven't been brought to them).

> without the abstractions we take for granted as superior, such as money.

That's only true if by "money" you mean coinage, which is a definition so narrow that it also excludes the modern notion of money (you think that's dollar bills you're spending with your credit card?). The Egyptians did have currency that wasn't explicitly coins (e.g. shaped piece of metal), and, at least a 1000 years before they had currency at all, they exchanged items according to the items' value measured in units of metal, even if they didn't exchange the actual metal [1]. Calling this barter (as the linked articles do), from which it's perhaps reasonable to conclude the Egyptians lacked money as an abstraction, is then disingenuous because that's no different than how we exchange goods in the modern world (again, you think that's actual dollar bills that are moving around when you purchase from Amazon? or when you deposit or pay via checks?).

What the ancient Egyptians did lack for most of their history is the device of interest-bearing debt (see [2], pp. 217-219).

I should have said more about the profiler in case you're new to it. Let it run. It's overhead is really quite low. Then when you notice the slow tab switching or janky scrolling, you hit Capture Profile and that stops the profiler and loads the profile for you to view. IN that view you'll find a "share" button in the top right that makes the profile remotely available and gives you a link you can use to file a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

With a very different set of tradeoffs. MW does not provide anonymity. It provides, at best, pseudo-anonymity with coinjoin mixing by default, with N=2 in the implementations being considered. Careful repeated application with the right counter-parties can compound that into larger anonymity sets. That's a step forward from bitcoin, for sure. And if you're very careful, it could achieve whatever privacy requirement you might have.

The Zcash-like approach on the other hand is to provide a transaction mode where your anonymity set is everyone who has ever transacted with the system before. That's N=everybody; the source of funds is entirely obscured.

The two achieve totally different goals, with a different set of tradeoffs. Apples to oranges.
> And geopolitical, especially with the US, trumps ideals in the Middle East.

Matt Green here. This statement has been trotted out a lot by people who I don’t honestly feel are offering it up with any kind of good faith.

As you suggested, all I meant is that once you have a fully anonymous currency it’s always possible to deliberately weaken that privacy if you want to. I think that sort of decision is up to the currency adopters. But to be clear, that kind of feature is absolutely not included in ZCash. Anyone who implies so is selling FUD. Since the ZCash code and design is fully open source this is easily verifiable, and plenty of people have looked.

For the record: as a researcher I deal with a lot of people who’ve told me that privacy technology is fundamentally dangerous. One standard response I give them is that this is crazy: a fully private currency is the right starting point. If you want to make a fork of ZCash that has less privacy, you can do that and I won’t stop you. But that isn’t ZCash.
I think the US equivalent of the European sense of “government” is “administration”, perhaps?

"So what? Just ignore it then."

+ If a considerable number of people ignore a referendum it loses it's legitimacy.

"As for the majority of votes, just tally them vs total population. Simple."

No. Absolutely not. This is not how either elections or referendums are done.

"Oh bullshit, have you ever seen any political party say anything 100% clearly, that's just raising the bar."

I'm afraid you are dead wrong. The 'wording' of a referendum is a very important and contentious thing - otherwise it loses legitimacy and legal standing.

As for 'bullshit' - there is actually a law in Canada, called the 'Clarity Act' that legally requires referendum questions to be clear.

This is because separatists want to soften the wording of the question 'i.e. we seek to renegotiate our status' - thereby getting the 10% or so on board who really don't want to separate, but want more power. Those against the referendum want a hard question like: "Do you want to separate from XYZ and loses your passport" etc..

"If it's a small minority voting, then why should they care?"

Because the political entities who directed the 'bad referendum' will use it as political capital to flame the flames.

Either it's done right - or not at all.

Ambiguous referendums are a disaster for everyone.
In Firefox Nightly on Windows I quickly got the Swappable section confused with touch, just from tapping and dragging things around a little. And after reloading the page Sortable fell apart on my very first touch-and-drag. Yeah, despite being pretty cool it seems unusably buggy at present.

That touching to scroll stops working if you’re in an area where there are things to drag is also super annoying.

I'm with you; I mean "really turn this all the way off" when I turn off WiFi or Bluetooth.

But if you read between the lines, I think what happened here is that Apple did some analysis of their support database and figured out that a huge number of support issues came down to WiFi or Bluetooth being turned off. Like, if someone doesn't really understand how AirDrop works (probably most iPhone users, honestly) and they try to use it with WiFi turned off. Or if they turn off Bluetooth because they heard it was a security issue, then their phone doesn't connect to their car the way it should.

The reality is that most iPhone users don't really understand all this stuff, and so don't fully appreciate the tradeoffs of having WiFi and Bluetooth turned off.

It's a bit more inconvenient, but at least we can still use Settings to really actually turn them off.

That seems dubious to me. I think that pedestrians are viewed more favorably than cyclists mainly because everyone spends a lot of time as a pedestrian. By contrast, most people aren't cyclists, which means that drivers tend to view them as an out-group, and therefore an object of contempt. This also helps to explain why people are often more incensed by traffic violations by cyclists than by drivers or pedestrians.
That's a theme in Elysium.

Interestingly enough assemblea.cat's legal department has sent letters to the telcos because their site was blocked without a court order or any kind of notice.

Also, some of the operations these days are not actually ordered by TSJC but by a separate judge using an old (almost forgotten) case: http://m.huffingtonpost.es/2017/09/20/el-juez-ha-ordenado-la...

And during the first days of sites blocked no telco provided the court order they were in theory served. In fact, not all the telcos are blocking the sites.

So yeah, western democracy and all that. It all smells incredibly fishy and ad-hoc.

From an objective standpoint, the Linux stack is actually better in a lot of ways. They are generally much, much, much tighter in terms of cache misses and per-packet costs. They have a lot of features that FreeBSD doesn't, and a lot of innovation happens there (BBR).

What does the population in the rest of Spain think about Catalan independence? Would they be happy with Catalonia leaving if its population was in favour of it, or would they prefer that it be forced to remain part of Spain?

Catalonia would have trouble becoming genuinely independent without approval from Spain. Even if they declared independence, and didn't face military action, they'd only have the status of other unrecognized states like Somaliland or to some extent Taiwan.
