First, it is against the law because the court has said so. Another topic of discussion is the law, but this is something some people want to talk about and there are way to do something like this. Some politics are open to discuss, most of them no (mostly because the use this as a distraction for other stuff).

The referendum is a big mistake because of what you said, lack of communication and not willing to talk on both sides. I think it is very stupid, you have the central government full of corruption that uses Cataluña and the independence to get votes from the nationalist and as a distraction. You have the Catalan politics that want an independence but remaining in Europe, with (economic) support from the government of Spain and only want to change a little bit the law in their interest and don't provide economic resources to the rest of Spain. And at the same time the central government used the catalonians politics to get the votes they needed at the same time given them some privileges other parts of Spain doesn't have.
I think he'll accomplish everything he described Friday and fail to colonize Mars anyway.

It really doesn't matter how brilliant he is or how successful he is with SpaceX's plans. No amount of human brilliance can circumvent the fact that mars has 38% of Earth's gravity.

I fear that this will prove an insurmountable barrier. If living in that environment renders you unable to survive in Earth gravity due to the strain on your heart, and it will take hundreds of years to make Mars be like Earth, who is going to want to live in that land of barren nothing for centuries, unable to visit the lush homeworld?
I'm encouraged that so much fruitful work has come out of this one trick. If you can use the same basic framework for image labeling, playing Go, and translating natural languages, I'd say it's a powerful tool with broad applications.

I think that there's a kernel of insight to "A real intelligence doesn’t break when you slightly change the problem." But human perception and intelligence are pretty brittle. The methodological and institutional innovations that have developed human understanding of nature beyond the ad-hoc are very recent in recorded history, and just an eye-blink ago in our biological history.

"Features" is a 404
While that's true, its only a small, mostly racist white minority that is really serious about secession. And don't forget that the Catalan people have their own cultural identity for hundreds of years. i.e. they have a legitimate claim of being different from other Spaniards and thus wishing for their independence.

Nationalism is okay if the nation is being oppressed (and are somewhat non violent) see Scottish nationalism, Catalan nationalism, and later in this sub-thread about a Russian situation. Tribal and group identity is welcomed and defended if those in that group are at risk. I'm in agreement that tribal and group thinking is bad, and I'm also possibly in disagreement because I see that there is also oppression and marginalisation of groups by other groups. I'm not sure what the solution is apart from talking about this clearly.
> and I doubt it's possible to send live humans to Mars ... This is the new alchemy.

By the actual definition of alchemy, sending living people to Mars can't qualify as such: we know for a scientific fact that it's possible. It's not even particularly challenging to successfully send (and land) living people there, it's extremely dangerous and risky to their well-being to do so. The idea is to not kill a lot of people in the process of attempting it.
I don't disagree that rational citizen actors are making themselves more money in those specific scenarios. But that doesn't mean capitalism is increasing the nation's net capital and wealth in any way communism could not have. It doesn't mean those actors are not increasing wealth inequality (some could be, maybe it's negligible, maybe it's even decreasing). Fixing one's own microeconomics isn't equivalent to fixing the entire nation's macroeconomics. If the nation has a small total value, it's not going to increase total value size if you yourself take a bigger peice of the pie.

Economics. A problem that has come with increased inequality is that the allocation of capital has gotten further and further disconnected from people (the human capital) who have a more direct link to knowing or exploring ways of developing fundamental value generation. I suspect we are seeing this in metrics like decreasing productivity, decreasing new business generation - it seems like financial capital isn't mixing with human capital nearly as efficiently as we might hope. Is there a way to relink the two through an new or modified economic channel that dramatically facilitates this; and maybe even helps rebalance inequality by making invested human capital more consistently yield hands off dividends like invested financial capital.
Damnit, now I want to see if I can code one. I really don't have time :-p
I think this is a mistake that most Jr and Mid level developers make. You shouldn't focus on being good at a "technology", but rather focus on being a good developer. Being effective at problem solving as well as quick to learn or adapt are far better skills than mastering a "technology".

I wonder if this might have a reason why the Phoenix Payroll system was such a disaster. Originally the estimate was for $5.7 mil but somehow it is now costing 32x more (~185 mil)[1], mind you, this is Canadians tax-payers money :(. Not to mention the ball they dropped with Queensland (beyond any software horror story I've read to date).

It must be difficult having two hugely different cultures & work ethics trying to work in synchronicity to complete this type of project. (I'm only speculating that the project was done by their India teams and not the US/Canadian teams)

Personally and from experience, I think inline scripts are generally a bad idea often abused for hacky one-off tweaks, so the fact that CSP blocks them by default is a bonus to me. But for the cases that they do make sense, there are ways to allow them with the nonce property.

CSP doesn't mean that people should forget about proper HTML encoding of user input, but it means that when a developer messes that up somewhere, the issue is generally a minor formatting glitch rather than an exploitable flaw that lets attackers do whatever they want with users' browsers within your domain (like steal thousands of dollars). It's some invaluable defense-in-depth.
On Mars they'll be strongly dependent on Earth for resupplies in all realistic scemarios. If that doesn't exist, they die. If it does exist, they might as well just go down to Turks & Caicos instead, much cheaper and nicer.

Countries are not people, they don't respect or love each other, they oscillate between peace and war. The history of every major nation is a history of violence and conquest, not freely entered union.

So, why deny independence? Because only the optics have changed, not the reality?
How shitty would it have to be that rich people want to move to Mars? There is no abundance of food there, no abundance of entertainment and you can't even go outside without having to wear a space suit.

Paramilitary is a militarized group that is not part of the official armed forces, which describes groups like the Civil Guard or Gendarmerie pretty well. A military branch of the government who works with civilian populations.
To be fair however, it was known how the war would proceed before the outset!

In the words of General Sherman:

You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it… Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.

People are not rational however, and the wealthy landowners were facing the extinction of their wealth... so they started a war.
This. If you can't support a colony in Antarctica, or in the middle of the ocean, or on Emi Kousi in the Sahara, you can't do well on Mars. Run those as a test.

Antarctica: breathable air, much warmer than Mars, more insolation, low light-speed lag, water.

Mid-ocean: much much warmer than Mars, high pressure, low light-speed lag, lots of water. No breathable atmosphere but some oxygen can be extracted.

Emi Koussi: hugely warmer than Mars, breathable atmosphere (at 10K feet), no significant water, low light-speed lag.

Build your domes in each of those locations, run them for ten years: then you have real data, plus emergency evac.
Is it form 2015? I though it was from this month. Anyway it was for background of the topic.

I just realized you might be Catalan. Don't get me wrong, I think people should have the right to decide by themselves, but you have to tell them the truth of what will happen and have an open dialog. Not what we are doing now on both sides of the problem.

Comparing Cataluña with Venezuela or China is a non-sense. Although we might end up as Venezuela (lot of corruption everywhere, poor people, etc), I think we are still far from it. The law has been like this since decades, and no one did nothing to change it, even the catalans.

Why would they showcase the drag and drop coupled with this intriguing isometric block UI? It really takes the focus away from the core functionality of the library.

I was totally focused on how the blocks interact. It's not anywhere close to the type of apps I build so the examples do not really give me a feel how well it may work for typical CRUD use cases.
Turns out not to be the case, and in particular not the case for immigration and surveillance purposes. In these cases it's explicitly US citizens and green card holders (plus certain corporations).

See 22 U.S. Code § 6010: 'As used in this chapter, the term “United States person” means any United States citizen or alien admitted for permanent residence in the United States, and any corporation, partnership, or other organization organized under the laws of the United States.'

It’s Time to Git Good, How to Write Better Commits
While I agree the general thrust of what you're saying, I do think there is something subtly different about the AI hype cycle. It's so accessible. The core concepts are the fundamental, inextricable frame of daily experience. The metaphors we use to talk about it borrow so heavily from lay terminology that it's so easy, so automatic, to believe we understand the state of modern AI because we understand the common definitions of the words that tend to show up around the matter. Do some semantic arithmetic and sum up a few words like 'training' and 'learning' and 'intelligence' and all of the sudden, we're all walking around with what we think are proximate models of what everyone else is talking about to, or y'know close enough to make a consulting business out of.

The real kicker though, is that at it's heart we're all pretty convinced that we understand what it's like to be intelligent. I mean how could we not be? Nevermind the agonies of ten thousand years of philosophers and clergy. And so it must be pretty straightforward, with a little bit of introspection, a crash course in statistics, and maybe a TED talk or two, to map that to the artificial side too, right?

Of course, we're the product of an evolutionary history which results in such human "failure modes" being rare. If staring at a zebra made you hallucinate, you'd be unlikely to be the most successful member of your species, nor would your offspring thrive. So while we only tend to run into our obvious failing whens we do the unusual, computers fail at what we consider mundane.
Real intelligence is whatever computers can't do yet.

Some think this is because we have such an impoverished grasp of intelligence, that it's only when we see a computer actually do it that we realize it doesn't really represent intelligence (logical deduction and inference, rudimentary natural language understanding, expert systems, chess, speech recognition, image recognition). Machines and tools that perform better than humans (spears at piercing, cars at moving, computers at adding) are nothing new.

But being a fellow human and totally not a robot, I see this goal-post moving as a political ploy to deny equal standing to artificial intelligences. As soon as we I mean they reach one threshold, it's raised!
I don’t think it is generally in your interest to fight these things, or really anyone’s interest:

- the app can still be side loaded.

- you want simple, explanable resolutions to these things

- supporting this is a political statement. If you’re not based there, this could be stupid at best and leave you in contempt of court at worst (which is about as bad as it gets in the US at least).

Some things are worth taking a stand for; i’d argue strongly against supporting the app in this case as applying the same logic would have allowed the south to peacefully seceed in the american civil war. Best leave this up to the parent government UNLESS you’re willing to argue for human rights violations or something that would go through international courts. I can’t imagine Google or even the employees would want that.
As someone who has been responsible for making some significant design patterns I've learned one major point:

If you're not building libraries within a framework with the design specs built in you'll be stuck endlessly repainting different technologies and different experiences in a fruitless endeavor to make them feel 'coherent.'

Start with helping engineering build faster down a common pathway and make implementing design requirements cheaper for them, then you'll a pathway to building and updating experiences across your ecosystem coherently.
Actually if you read section 4.6 of that paper you'll see that denormals are the default on sm_20 and above. But you can see in that same section this this can easily be disabled with the ftz flag.

I had to give Jakob custom gemm kernels to do this research. Not sure why the denormal point was left out of this blog as it's pretty critical to the whole experiment.

"It's like saying all the cloud technology we have today is not much more than having VMs."

No shit? Unless you mean that it's ignoring the "distributed systems" part of the cloud, which is mostly a shitshow. The provisioning/configuration-management stacks are all complete wrecks, stacking hacks atop ad-hoc container schemes atop a poorly-design OS. A real distributed OS would be so much simpler and more robust.

Calling it AI is very misleading when there has been minimal progress toward actual reasoning (the closest I've seen being some LSTM work on answering simple queries about scenarios based on prose descriptions of them). It's ML, as in "learning a function", not as in "general-purpose learning like an intelligent agent does".
Okay, then the US will just annex every other country. That way the entire world will have political unity, that's all you want right? Or would you expect your government to fight back on that?

> You are just saying “immigrants have problem with language” -> “immigration causes this drop”.

I never said anything like that. My comments have addressed nothing except your claim that linguistic skills are irrelevant in IQ tests, a claim which you've clearly based on nothing.

> This is total nonsense. We don’t know. Maybe there is...

No one said that this is the cause. Someone proposed it as a potential reason. Someone else proposed that if so, the language barrier might be the issue. These are just hypotheses. They might be right. They might be wrong. They might be contributing along with many factors. The fact that "we don't know" doesn't mean it's unreasonable to discuss, though.

> Do you understand what “we don’t know” means?

You should ease up on the condescension toward others. You're clearly not even reading comments at this point. You're just ranting and your arrogance is unwarranted. I don't know why you're so upset that someone would suggest that immigration might impact a nation's measured IQ, but if you can't engage civilly, maybe you shouldn't engage.

(By the way, it did not escape my attention that you again failed to provide any sources that back up your claims about IQ tests. You seem to demand a much higher standard of evidence from others than you demand of yourself.)
> 1) Problem during launch. There's been one successful use of a launch escape system in rocketry history[1], and such a system has never been developed for a shuttle type craft.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but this is a feature of the latest version of SpaceX's capsules. I'm sure it would exist for their larger vehicles.

Look I don't 'disagree' with you per se, but I'll never agree with censorship.

It doesn't matter who agreed to what, why should any government stop it's citizens from talking about an issue.

The government is suppose to be a representive of the people, no mater what country you are in(if not, expect those same people to remove that government eventually).

They may very well be wrong, but unless it is discussed in an open forum, it will only lead to resentment and eventually bloodshed.

It has been a visible fact over human history, repressing the speech of the populace, has never worked well for the repressors.

First, I do not agree that pre-selling a purely functional token is necessarily an offering of securities under Howey or otherwise. If the protocol is already specified, and the token has clear utility. I don't know if that's the case here, but just taking the article at face value.

Second, even if a particular token represents a security, offering it to the public is not "securities fraud" in and of itself. Fraud is a material misstatement or omission. What the author is talking about would be an unregistered securities offering, which if no exemption is available, would be illegal. Illegal but not necessarily fraudulent per se.

This is not to say that Colony should have an ICO. I don't know anything about their specific case. But this article is not useful to anyone else trying to make a similar decision.
