The Spanish government has had years, if not decades, to accommodate the aspirations of the Catalan population, but it has chosen to either ignore them or to actively work against them. This process is a consequence of a flowing society crashing against inflexible institutions.
The population of Catalonia has risen 0.1% since that vote (in 2014), and the raw number of Yes votes has risen 5%. If all the Yes voters vote for secessionist parties in the next regional election they will have a majority.

When I say "overwhelmingly" I refer to the desire to vote, not to the opinion that people hold. There is probably no supermajority, but we are not allowed to know about it since voting seems to be illegal.

All we have is 40% turnout with 90% yes. We will have to do with that.

Ah, TIL. I thought HDCP was still a wall. Security by Committee™ FTW!
Things could get out of hand very easily: the Catalan government has been supportive (organizer) of the whole process, and will probably be willing to clash with the Spanish government (hopefully not violently) to defend the newly formed republic.
I'm skeptical. Any recent US car has to be able to withstand at least 3X its weight, in order to make rollovers survivable. The amount of force the car's roof can withstand is much higher than how much my skull can withstand.
You’re right- I couldn’t quite remember the name. I updated my comment.
The article describes how the CIA made the map; here is the map itself: https://www.loc.gov/resource/g7064m.ct002865/
My context would be recording desktop-level glitches, so HDCP wouldn't be an issue.

This device would be a recorder though, so I'd likely never legitimately get HDCP keys. I can't see myself needing any though.

How much of the economy uses Bitcoin, though? That's the denominator to use.
City-states are the closest to being self-contained economic units, and having the scope of government match the scope of people's economic lives is a good thing.[Citation Needed]

The benefits of large governments - uniform currency, uniform code of law - have been increasingly eroding and losing relevance, so I am pretty sold on the city-state model.

An ICO and an IPO are not comparable - other than the fact they 'raise money' for the issuing company.

The notion that most large companies are going to offer 'coins' that have no use or economic basis - or legal right to assets of the company - is in any way scalable for the economy is ... well ... unfeasible.

IPO's are not 'broken' - other than perhaps some extra layers of regulation, what is 'broken' is companies making money and having sustainable business models

There are a lot of private companies that could be publicly listed, much earlier than 'unicorn stage' - the problem is there isn't enough 'hype' because they're not huge, and there's not enough shares (and frothy banker's commissions) to go around.

The 'solution' to the difficulties of IPO have already arrive: massive, late stage funds. The D and E round deals, which are quite large, are now taking the place of IPO's at least for companies that wish to continue growing while not necessarily generating a huge amount of profits.

Surely some of the bureaucratic elements of being a publicly listed company could have a re-look - but there's no magic model, I think, at the end of the day.
That's a legitimate criticism of a systems programming language. You'd like your OS kernel to never panic on an out of memory condition. (The serious end of the embedded world insists on this.) There are people working on this problem.[1]

Core Rust avoids almost all implicit heap allocations that aren't triggered by operations the programmer sees as allocations.[2] But there are many library functions which allocate and panic if the allocation fails.

This is a somewhat surprising change as I went through a drastic diet change about 10 years ago as a result of depression and a bout of anorexia; my diet became almost exclusively vegetarian with almost no sweets (mostly tea with an occasional splash of milk for drinks), and I had a similar result. Before I wouldn't touch alcohol, and cakes from Cheesecake factory couldn't be sweet enough for my taste.

Now such sweets are overpowering to me and the though of the taste alone is a bit revolting to my mind. (nevermind the calorie count of one slice of that carrot cake). But wines suddenly had some depth to them, and I could finally notice the difference between an okayish bottle of wine and what they used to water down for us at communion when I was a kid. Vegetables also just suddenly had a whole depth of flavor tied just to the vegetable itself, and Frozen or underripened vegetables stood out as very poor tasting to me.

This is a huge topic. You can spend your entire career in just each part of your question - fabrication in a foundry, FPGA synthesis, HDL design, ASIC place and route, etc..

I've actually done all-of-the-above, from making SOI wafers to analog circuit design for CMOS image sensors to satellite network simulation in FPGAs to supercomputer architecture and design to XBox GPU place-and-route.

It will honestly take you at least a few years to be able to understand all of this, and I can't even begin to tell you where to begin.

My track started with semiconductor fabrication processing in college - lots of chemistry, lithography, physics, design-of-experiments, etc.. I guess that's as good a start as any. But before that I did get into computer architecture in high-school, so that game me some reference goals.

What are you ultimately trying to do? Get a job at a fab? That's a lot of chemistry and science. Do you want to design state-of-the-art chips, as your IP-core question hints at? That's largely an EE degree. Do you want to build a cheap kickstarter product, as your FPGA question suggest? That's EE and Computer Engineering as well.
I was kind of joking, but kind of not, when I said a few weeks back that eventually Google, Facebook and Twitter would start selling Silencing as a Service (SaaS).

To my knowledge, it was actually Google cloning the Australis interface, they just happened to release it earlier.

And no, these UI changes were not made at the expense of fixing memory and performance issues.

The reason why they didn't fix those memory and performance issues, is because it would have required introducing the (now introduced) multiprocess architecture.

That would have required breaking all extensions (which is now being done with Firefox 57, along with breaking them to switch to a new extension API). So, that would have pissed off power users even more.

And also just in general, you have to understand that power users are not that important for market share. They make up maybe 1%. If they bring their friends and family all along, then maybe 15%.

There's a big number of users that are able to choose their own browser, but are not power users by any means. For example, around 40% of Firefox users don't have any extensions installed [1].

This article is dated October 2017 and claims to be the first large-scale evidentiary study. But I have definitely seen either this exact study or another one nearly identical, also using GitHub and also having similar results for the languages, and that was at least 1 year ago. So perhaps this article is a re-print of a prior study?

It had 90% in favor instead of 80% like the previous one, and got modestly more votes than the separatist parties received in the last regional election. The result is eminently believable.
It would be interesting to see if there is correlation between size of the government and size of the country.

Of course, along with very small government, I would also advocate 100% free trade and very low regulatory burden, such that a small land-area country could still be an economic powerhouse.

A small suggestion to Kickstarter
Hi,

Just had a thought, that Kickstarter would be a lot more useful if instead of just promoting the campaign and driving potential backers for individual product sales, KS would be able to make introductions to relevant industry partners, based on either past-funded projects, or a YC-like format where you can have a mentor advise a project.

This would not be a significant undertaking for Kickstarter and would only mean having a few extra people on staff who know the product success stories, and being able to send a few emails on behalf of the creators to establish connections in the relevant industry.

Just a thought, but one that would be immensely helpful. We’re a 3-time creator, and after learning the potential markets of our product (through KS), we were left to do all of the further discovery, and connection-building ourselves which is exhausting for company resources and detracts from building the best possible product. I can imagine it’s a common theme for many creators who deliver a good, physical or otherwise.

Regards,

Well, darktable user here (Also a RawTherapee 5.0 user).

I just closed darktable few minutes ago, so I guess that made my experience of it pretty fresh.

On my system (Ubuntu 17.4), darktable runs nicely. And it's easier to use than RawTherapee. I only encountered some problems cause it to freeze up when loading photos, but I can't figure out the reason (Of course it's not because I'm loading photos).

RawTherapee is bit harder / complicate to use, but once you used to it, they're almost the same (Not totally, like darktable's Vibrance adjustment is far weaker than RawTherapee's etc).

One problem with RawTherapee for me is, it sometime can't correctly recognize the color profile of my camera, so the initial preview look over exposed and require manual adjustment. I didn't get same problem with darktable.
His first four claims (plus #11) are just wrong. He's not even addressing the points, let alone rebutting them.
No, now I have trouble finding English sources and I need to go in a while.

But no wind power does not work in large scale in a electric system. The problem is that you need to have a lot of extra power and power electronics to stabilize the effect of wind power. It disturbs the frequency of the electricity in the network and you have to balance it with other sources you have complete control over to keep the power stable.

When the Swedish energy department made a study they found that we can't have more than 10 TWh of wind power (7%)[0]. There is one study from one group that says that we can have up to 30 TWh (21%)[2], but if we are realistic it's probably in the middle. This is things my professors in wind power told us, and they really like wind power.

Sorry the sources are in Swedish, but I really advice you to look into the subject before calming that it's all perfect.

> The article gives sound reasons why it shouldn't and why holding the vote is _antidemocratic_. There may of course be good counterarguments but they aren't being made. I'd like to see them, not childlike miscomprehension of how democracy works.

Of course they are being made: what a piece of paper says has only meaning if there is a consensus behind it. A paper is not the Ultimate Truth: society must be heard, since popular opinion changes.

The Catalan people have been working for their self-governance for decades, and they (rightly or wrongly) feel that the central government is not willing to accommodate their needs. It is not too much to ask to have one's voice heard about these matters once in a while, ideally with a negotiated referendum. Unfortunately the Spanish government has shown no inclination of willing to hear what kind of relationship Catalans want to have with the rest of the Spain; actually, the contrary has been the case: each time that Catalans have tried to redraw the framework they have been confronted by a very hostile central government.

The Spanish government (and the majority of the Spanish people) are treating the constitution as a holy gospel, when it is exactly the opposite: it is a document which should regulate and adapt to the needs of its people, whatever they might be, and not some ultimate goal that people must abide to.

> You do realise that over half of Catalonia is against independence. This is exactly the Northern Ireland problem where Madrid would be forced to defend the interests of those Catalans even if they'd otherwise wanted to say goodbye to Catalonia (presumably with Basque region next). The leadership on both sides have been incredibly irresponsible in driving the country and region towards that situation and of course it's the people who will pay for it.

Which half should be deprived of their "rights"? Difficult question, but since separatists have been deprived of their ideal world for years, maybe they should get the chance to implement their vision?

This would have been much easier if the vote had been properly organized: something with >60% turnout and >60% would had closed the case for independence, something with >60% turnout and <40% would have closed it for remaining in Spain, and something in between would have been grounds for further discussions and negotiations.

As it stands, the handling of the situation by the Spanish government puts us in a very awkward situation. I would say the case for independence is pretty much sealed, since the chances that the Spanish government takes the Catalans seriously is pretty much null.
Except that cash is used in about a third of consumer transactions, and basically not at all otherwise. Everything else is chain of trust and essentially free, in terms of energy and every other resource.

Besides, a single truck can move millions of dollars, and I doubt reaching out to take my money and then making change contributes very much to the salary of a shop keeper. Probably far less than scanning my phone and waiting an hour for 3 confirmations. The only way a cash transaction would use the same power as a Bitcoin one would be if I had to personally drive the money 1000 miles to its destination in a Tesla.
Is cancer a mitochondrial disease?
I'm aware of two here in New Mexico, the Pó Restaurant in Pojoaque, and I believe there is a new one in Albuquerque by the Native American Cultural Center. I've eaten at the Pó restaurant about 12 years ago, and it was not a great experience, but I hesitate to hold that against them since it was ages ago; it might have just been a bad night. The other one I haven't tried yet.

My impression as a New Mexican is that the local cuisine has elements of native cuisine (tamales seem more native than enchiladas). But, I also have the impression, perhaps unfairly, that native cuisine was kind of bland. I think Bourdain did an episode where he went onto the big Navajo reservation and they roasted and fed him sheep; I recall they ate basically the entire animal, but I didn't see salt or a spice being put on it. I'm sure every native group is different but around here, there was sheep, corn, squash, beans and not a lot else. Even the chile we're famous for was imported (from California, hilariously).

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I'd bet money it's not a coincidence.. Scheduled births (whether induced or c-section) are prevalent enough that people will just avoid "yucky" dates even if they're not superstitious.

Anecdotally, I went in with my wife for an ultrasound on a Friday the 13th and it was definitely less crowded that day. Rest assured, no Rosemary's Baby detected, nor any heart defects, etc. I just benefited from not having to take a seat in the waiting room :).
Question: does a hash table with linked-list chaining count as a non-niche use-case for linked lists, or is the linked list just counted as an implementation detail rather than a separate data structure in that context?

(Though, Rust's own std::collections::HashMap just does robin-hood hashing instead of separate chaining, and everyone's just going to use that, so "what data structure should a separately-chained hash-table use in Rust" is mostly a moot question.)

this doesn't address the argument. people who say it's okay to 'punch nazis' are the same people who hit people with bike locks, assault people, destroy property and torture people. all you have to do is label a person you dislike a 'nazi' and it's a thoughtless greenlight for righteous bloodshed and alienation.
I agree with you but also I am more curious of the motivation for even doing anything. If anything it seems safer and easier to do nothing instead of taking action.

> "For example, I am a pacifist. When I tell this to people, they sometimes assume I would stand aside and do nothing if a loved one was threatened with violence. In fact, the opposite is true: I would act aggressively and assertively (or I hope I would). Pacifist != Passive"

It sounds as if people are confused because you are using the word pacifist incorrectly. Pacifism means that you believe violence is never the answer. Look at a list of definitions:

Pacifism: the belief that any violence, including war, is unjustifiable under any circumstances, and that all disputes should be settled by peaceful means.

Pacifism: opposition to war or violence as a means of settling disputes

Pacifism: an attitude or policy of nonresistance

Pacifism: opposition to war or violence of any kind

Your position may be reasonable, but it isn't pacifism.
