...that's extremely unlikely. Independence doesn't have anywhere close to 90% support in reality, it's just that the pro-Spain faction didn't turn out to vote.
That would likely be metric tons, or a little more than 2204 pounds. The US uses short tons, or exactly 2000 pounds.
>Once your speech starts to infringe on the rights of others it is no longer deserving of protection

That is quite a chilling statement. What right do others have to silence speech? A right is not something that can be taken away due to public opinion. Otherwise it is a privilege. The entire foundation of a free society is built on free speech.
>launch a modern web app

It took me a long time to realize that "launching the app" is not really what these tools are for. You can create perfectly fine awesome web apps with just HTML/CSS/ES5.

But as it gets more complex, or you add collaborators, or you feel how much easier/faster certain things would be if you could operate at a different level of abstraction... the world does tend to pull you towards these tools. None of them are necessary though, they just trade a little ramp at the beginning for a lot of saved headaches later on. I still don't use have of this stuff, but I recall recently debugging an issue that was a couple of clicks into an SPA (in an interview no less) and I sure wished I had jumped through the hoops to get hot module reloading on that one! Likewise, I'm kind of ready for tests now, to make sure the rendered HTML is what I expect in various scenarios, rather than walk through the app like a paranoid moron after every change.

I think the way to stay sane in modern front-end development is to not overthink the tools - if your project is already using them, great, use them the right amount for your team. If you don't use, say, Redux, but your state management is causing lots of pain, hey, maybe it's time for Redux now. If you already write only beautiful ES5 that runs correctly an is easy to reason about, who needs Babel.

My favorite situation is when somebody else picked the tools and the build process and I don't have to give a crap about evaluating all the options. Knowing and caring about all of the pros and cons IS a lot of bandwidth!
I don’t think the Spanish government could have done a better job of justifying Catalan secession if they tried. Tons of horrific Spanish police brutality on display at https://twitter.com/hashtag/CatalanReferendum?src=tren

When you say "interfering," are you talking about buying ads?
> Third, if you were to import guava or some other library that makes handling files more streamlined, you could get to an equivalent number of lines in the Java example.

You don't even need that. The Files[1] class - which has been in the standard library since at least Java 7 - makes this really easy to do.

Most planned economies were founded before the availability of real-time, computer-driven decision support systems. Maybe it couldn't've worked, I dunno, but it was a bold experiment, and probably preferable to the brutal military junta that destroyed it.
Spark can read from and write to HDFS, and YARN (the resource negotiator in Hadoop v 2) is one of the cluster managers supported by Spark.

but you can run a Spark cluster without YARN--eg, with Mesos--or with the built-in manager provided in the Spark distro. Likewise, your Spark cluster doesn't need to read or write to HDFS.
So much power concentrated in a single entity cannot be good for democracy in the long run.

For example look at the web. Google has pretty much free pass to crawl and index any website, while smaller players get blacklisted and blocked immediately. Paywalled websites open their door if the link comes from Facebook. If you get black listed by gmail, your emails have no chance of reaching user’s inboxes. And the list goes on.

In the same way the ancient Athenians used to exile citizens who were getting too powerful, it’s a good idea to split up companies that become too powerful. Even if they haven’t violated any laws.

I don’t think that any research gap will left unfilled by smaller startups if they get split up.
Salesforce.com because you’ll move to it anyway.
The optics (at the moment) seem to be the most important issue here. Whether or not the vote is legitimate is quite irrelevant in immediate aftermath. This is a government using physical force against its citizens for, of all things, voting -- a core democratic principle.

Democracy must be tolerant of peaceful protesting. An "illegal" vote (depending who's lens we are viewing this from), to me, is a form of peaceful protest. Candor, mutual respect, and peaceful organizing are some of a few tools democracies have to solve problems without devolving to unrest and violence. If we assume we highly value avoiding violence (and we should), governments need to tolerate the use of these tools, from time to time.

By banning the use of these more moderate options, the national government is essentially promoting dissenters to even less desirable options so they have at least some form of expression. I think we should be surprised the national government chose to use such force when it had far less invasive means for dealing with the consequences of this vote, e.g., courts.
Yes, surely it's a coincidence that two of the most powerful statically typed languages have the least defects.
As far as I could find,

~770,000 votes lost and the results are clearly in favor of separation even if every one of those lost votes was No.

No western government believes in self-determination. They only believe in results that favour western hegemony. For example, Orange Revolution = good. Crimean referendum = bad. Arab Spring = good. Independent Kurdistan = bad. And so on.
Thanks for the shoutout! For OP - Streak (YC S11) works on both Gmail and G Suite and we have both free and paid versions. Give me a holler at weston(at)streak(dot)com with any questions! I'm on the support side and would be glad to help.
Thanks for the correction! I don't think manifests were mentioned in the whitepaper but I found some info on the wiki: https://github.com/freenet/wiki/wiki/Simple-Manifest.

It looks like I will also have to learn more about IPFS's routing. Clearly Freenet's has some merits, and I would hope that IPFS is strictly faster since it sacrifices privacy, but I don't understand it well enough to make sense of how it scales.
Those are the names the tribes call themselves. Half of the midwest is named after local tribes of the area.
We're talking several orders of magnitude here. It's not comparable to the moneyball sitch.

The thing is, if that team has a secret sauce to convince people to change their minds, they are in the wrong game and would rake in billions serving corporate America and unseating Google and Facebook at their game.

It's a tempest in a teapot.
an additional argument for protecting free speech for extremist ideas: the rest of society has a better sense of who these people are, what they're doing, what they're thinking, where they're going. the rest of society has more information about the extremists than it would if they were always suppressed.
Well I don't consider parties to be all about what is being consumed. Sure, it is while they are doing it, but typically a party is a generalized social occasion, not an activity based get together like a book club.
They didn't even tried to campaign for the NO.
Fast Builds - Buck on Travis CI
It's young, but given the fact it's a fairly integral part of the EU and NATO, you'd expect better from Spain.
I wonder if the ballots were destroyed, or if we'll ever know the results of them. Since they were forcibly taken, the impartialness would surely be dubious.
You make your points persuasively and elegantly, and I agree with you for the most part. I think much of what is diagnosed as depression in recent times may be a synonym for despair at these times (echoing Cicero : "O tempora! O mores!"). On the other hand, clinical depression of the kind that has assailed me since my teenage years (and from which my son suffers and showed signs of since 5 or 6 years old) appears most certainly to be genetically caused.

I suspect that maybe a physical cause of depression is less rare than you think.
Yes. You're absolutely right.

I should make it clear that Github Pages also supports vanilla HTML.

But, if you're using Markdown or org files,
you'll have to export your content to HTML in your machine.

For Hugo, for example, you will need to install go, hugo, all its dependencies and always remember
to manually type an extra command to turn your posts to HTML.
Remember that you'll have to do this for ANY modification that you'd wish to do.

For the automatic generation, at least the last time I used, Github Pages only supported Jekyll.
I voted. I can't talk about all the schools, but the ones I checked made sure (electronically) that you didn't vote twice, but of course there's a chance that some people did indeed vote more than once if for some reason they manually wrote down the name.
Escheatment: States scoop up investment accounts as unclaimed property
Indeed. But that goes to show that Americans weren't "shooting at Nazis" in WW2. They were shooting at German soldiers, because that's what you do in a war.
As far as I can tell, US independence had minority support (~40 - 45% of the white population) they however where willing to fight. With others either neutral or Loyalists.
Your point is moot.

Inject 100k on a fake news items like "The pope is a paedofile" for instance and see the whole world talking and reposting it the next day.

Spend a billion promoting something real but boring and you might see almost non-existent tracktion.

By definition disinformation and destabilization campaigns are 1000x more effective, especially if organized by entities specializing on those for decades.
Typo when you don't have the right kind of repos starred: "yeild" should be yield

I've worked with NLP a bit before, but haven't worked with LDA and have only read the wikipedia article and gensim documentation. One thing I don't understand is why you only generate a single topic for each user, and then query the top n (5) terms. From what I understand of LDA, its usefulness is in partitioning text into k separate topics based on how often words are used in similar contexts. In my mind, this is more or less analogous (please tell me if this is wrong) to finding k centroids for a vector representation of text after training a word2vec mapping (in an appropriately low dimension given the document size) on that text. However, if you are only finding a single topic, you are only using one centroid, so your search will be the n tokens that are closest to the centroid. I'm pretty sure that the tokens (from the text) closest to the centroid of a word2vec mapping trained on a text will mostly consist of high-frequency words and semi-stop words (by this I mean words used in varied contexts because of their use in language, but not filtered by the stop word check).

Then if someone has many different topical interests, LDA might over-represent whichever topic has the plurality of text dedicated to it. For example if my starred repos are something like 30% Fortran, 30% Javascript, 40% Java, I believe your algorithm will mostly contain Java terms as queries. This seems to run counter to the goal of using LDA, which would be (to my understanding) to identify these latent topics and give relevant queries for each one / combining them.

I think a good way to address this would be to implement some way to change the default number of topics. One approach may be to use a trained (perhaps on github instances itself) word2vec instance to determine the "spread" of the incoming tokens: you could construct cliques based on pairwise distance between vectors and do something with that (let k be the number of cliques, or the number of cliques of size greater than m, etc.).

A different approach might be to precompute the vector average of each github repo. Then you could perform richer comparisons directly to documents (e.g. compare each clique's centroid to the repos) without directly querying github for tons of repos.
Even the Iraqi government shows more restraint. It's 1916 all over again.

> the social expectation is that a smile must always be prompted by something

Well, that's exactly the point that's interesting to analyze. I.e. why there is such social expectation.
Is it possible that not all supertasters are alike? But that being a supertaster is still relevant to differentiation between people's preferences for wine?

Limited time is the critical point here. The way things are now, the times applicable are way too long. The other factor is that the way copyright and patents are implemented in law means that they are way too broad, way too broad.

In relation to patents, most patents issued are not justified. They do not promote progress in any form. Historically, progress based on a patent occurs after the patent expires. If you look at many of the patents issued, one will see that they are either obvious to someone skilled in the applicable arts or are a failure obvious to one skilled in the applicable arts.

In regards to copyrights, its purpose is to allow a short period of time for an author to make money if he/she can convince the paying community to do so, thereafter it is in the public domain for others to use as a basis for new works. The way it is today, the authors get little or nothing and the publishers (of whatever kind) get to control for extended periods of time (or the descendants who did nothing to create the work in the first place).

This mindset of sitting on your laurels is now progressing into other areas. Yet for the bulk of us, one we have created something and sell it that is the end of it for us.

Trade secret law ends up leading ot serious industrial espionage and often with the backing of the various agencies of ones government (when doing so is against foreign companies).

Today, little progress is being made (in relative terms) by copyright, patents and trade mark law. These areas are about slowing and controlling the dissemination of knowledge for the betterment of society.

The specific part of the US constitution means that Congress can make laws that abolish all copyright and patents as well as locking them down. This is a aspect that is rarely, if at all, acknowledged by those who strongly support copyright and patents.

I have had discussions with a supposed patent holder and challenged him to actually supply all the patent numbers of his supposed creative work. He wouldn't do so and in not doing so, completely diminished all of his arguments because his arguments depended on us taking his word for how creative and important his patents were.
According to the article, 2.26 million Catalans voted out of 5.3 million registered voters, so the result is highly significant. Even if only 21% of the people who stayed at home would have voted yes (unlikely), "yes" would still have won.
So, we're not commenting on "That hash is guaranteed by cryptography to always only represent the contents of that file"? Because we should be. The fundamental rule of hashing is that you are guaranteed to have collisions. The challenge is to find a good hashing function for the kind of file you're hashing, but on the internet you get EVERY TYPE OF FILE, so at the scale we're talking about for IPFS, we're dealing with a large enough number of files of every conceivable type that collisions are guaranteed.
> States are reducing the number of years for which an account has to be dormant, from seven to three, and are changing the trigger from returned mail to the investor's failure to reach out affirmatively to restake their claim on the accounts...

I've run into the escheatment issue on accounts with two different institutions in the last month, and it made me wonder if something has changed.
Which makes for a better user experience. What’s your point?
Software is not mathematics. A web app is not mathematics. A compiler is a little closer, but still isn't.
42% turn out tho. Quite possibly those not in favour were boycotting it?
Every Java program runs on a VM. It does not magically prevent sloppy Java code from crashing. It does prevent a lot of memory errors typical for sloppy C code, though.
No, not necessarily. It's standard practice to pick a p-value significance cut-off (0.05), but report the smallest such standard cut-off that any particular value meets. So "p < 0.001" is reported for values that meet that threshold. Anything over the cut-off is just not reported as significant.
And a source for that would be interesting, while it makes intuitive sense I'd love to see someone who tested that hypothesis rigorously.
There is no need for any additional arguments beyond whats in Spanish constitution.
I thought it was about Linear Discriminant Analysis..
A lot depends on how far you are from the epicenter and the kind of soil.
Is there a good summary of why this is happening -- what the complaints and issues are, etc?
WJ has it right. Figure out your sales process. How many customers? How do you identify suspects / prospects / likelies? How long is the sales cycle? Do your first US$50K of deals managing with tools you already own, like a whiteboard or spreadsheet or quickbooks, or with tools you have to have, like payment card processors like stripe.com and/or braintree.

Once you've got the beginnings of a process, you'll be much better positioned to decide on tools.

Tools don't close deals. You do. Go close some. Seriously.
What do you mean about cloud flare article?
That being said, the authors are doing a lot of comparisons here! They ought to be reporting Dunn-Bonferroni corrected p-values.
While I'm all for democracy, this paragraph here seems to imply this wasn't quite that:

Catalan officials instead relied on privately printed ballots, and changed the voting rules an hour before polls were scheduled to open, to allow voters to cast a ballot at any poll station, without using an envelope and whether registered there or not.
Yet this is exactly why speech must be protected. Speech is always lost in the interest of what would appear the public good. You start with what most would agree to be speech that should not be shared.

Some entity must then be given power to determine what qualifies as that speech. This is then the point speech is lost. Once someone has the power to determine what people can say, then that becomes the vehicle through which it will be undermined. The definition of what is acceptable will continue to change as the state will want to keep expanding its power of `public good`. This becomes a selling point to the public to support such efforts while the state will continue to silence opposition to its interests with support of the public as all will be framed in the interest of protecting the public.
The Spanish government has succeeded in ruining the referendum. Law abiding citizens who respect the Spanish government clearly stayed home and did not participate in the illegal vote.

Anyone who is claiming an electoral victory for the independence camp is delusional. The level of support for independence is nowhere near 90%, which was the final tally. An illegal referendum that half the population either chose to or was forced to boycott does not have any legitimacy.

Google is exceptional, and also in area of "growth capture". How about large companies in more mature industries? For example, do any of the telecom companies maintain the equivalent of Bell Labs today?
Well for starters, an MS in the US may cost $40k-$60k/ year for a foreign student (as funding is very hard to get for an MS student), whereas during a PhD you'll get paid about $20-25k/year. Also, many universities do not offer MS programs in more academic fields, or if they do, they do not allocate them many spots in the graduate program compared to PhD students.

This fits my personal experience as well. All of the foreign students I know who did MS's in the US were very wealthy, whereas only some of the foreign students doing PhDs were.
Yes that's true but the page doesn't get cached so in that regard there's still lots of room for real world performance improvements :)
A 90% of less than 40% of the voting population is minuscule.
its not just about money, although more expensive things tend to actually be better.

my favorite wine comes affordably in a box. there are better box wines than others, and not all wines are appropriate for specific settings.

I can only get buzzed so often and only to a certain amount (I'm over 30), so when I choose to drink I try to get the most out of it. Since money is not a bottleneck in how often I can get buzzed, I think less about it in that context.
Even though I believe most Catalonia people want independence (good for them) I would not be surprised if we found Russia's role in the event was similar as in last vote for president in the US
Agree with everything you're saying about data. Given how hard an analytics system is to set up properly, it's one of the last pieces you should be adding in to get an understanding of how to build your business.
British referendum: allowed, succeeded
I think you are misunderstanding what I am getting at. It's like music... some genres of music are pretty unlikely that an individual would like except for the culture that surrounds them and promotes them. And yet, sure, those people that do like them, after being exposed to that culture, still probably listen to that music when no one is watching. I'm not suggesting that most people are consciously trying to impress people.
You mean reader mode? I have no idea how pocket would solve this problem.
I understand the freedom argument but it's probably coming at a very high price for little practical gain. It seems a form of Brexit, based largely on emotions without a clear path forward.

Catalonia becomes a nation state and then what? Are they now an island in the EU? Easy trade with all other regions in Spain now has to go through taxes and trade agreements? How much is debt increasing?

You could interpret that as the Scottish referendum having been allowed because it was thought unlikely to succeed.

You are partially right but you have to remember that each of these is addressing a generally large pain point. So by embracing a standard solution, you can abstract that point away to some degree. This tradeoff is called progress.
The average turnout across all EU nations for the 2014 European Parliament elections was 43% and no-one is questioning the legitimacy of those results.
