Sounds like the whole discussion is kind of blurred by the definition of what a start-up is.

IMO the article misrepresents the cited study[1], which doesn't talk about "start-ups". It could just as well be represented as: in weak state countries lacking a stable operating environment for large businesses, companies are short-lived and the only option for many people is self-employment. Also, the size of state sector vs private sector just tells you how the activity in the country is organised: you can have public healthcare or private healthcare, and of course the private healthcare means more private sector activity. It doesn't mean that the private sector healthcare is a better outcome.

These things often bring problems when you try to update the framework, because they're always behind.

Sometimes I have to pull in a few components, like navigation or carrousels because things get to complex or I lack the time, but I usually try to let the UI be self-contained.
Yes, referendums aren't held in a vacuum, the wealthy, powerful, and the government can use their resources to influence the result.

This happened in the UK with Brexit. The government opposed it, the bank of England, all the major institutions opposed it, the government spent millions on propaganda leaflets, and so on. It was unthinkable that the Brexiteers could win, and yet against all odds they did.

In this situation of course the scales are tipped similarly - while the regional government may want to spend on influencing the election, the financial firepower of the national government (who oppose independence) totally outstrips them, so if the referendum would be unfair it would be because it would disproportionately be tipped against independence.

It's not a perfect system - but a referendum is the best system available for answering these questions.

Interesting bit:

Your link is very confused. It talks of a referendum in the title but this isn't in the article.

The Consitutent Assembly wasn't brought about by referendum it was created by presidential decree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_Constituent_Assembl...

The opposition did not take part in the election (not a referendum) where there is good reason to believe the result would be rigged so there was no way to vote for them. As you well know the situation in Venezuela is incomparable to the situation in Catalonia. Maduro has arrested the opposition and has totally destroyed the country.

The referendum in Catalonia is valid because the Catalonians have a fundamental moral right to self determination. From Wikipedia: The right of people to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law (commonly regarded as a jus cogens rule), binding, as such, on the United Nations as authoritative interpretation of the Charter's norms. It states that a people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference. ... self-determination entails the "moral double helix" of duality (personal right to align with a people, and the people's right to determine their politics) and mutuality (the right is as much the other's as the self’s). Thus, self-determination grants individuals the right to form "a people," which then has the right to establish an independent state, as long as they grant the same to all other individuals and peoples.

The UN have also been very clear specifically on the referendum that regardless of whatever regional or national laws there are, Spain MUST respect the fundamental rights (which trump constitutional or national laws because of their fundamental nature) of the Catalonians. The UN said '[Spain must ensure they] do not interfere with the fundamental rights to freedom of expression, assembly and association, and public participation [of the Catalonians].' They go on to be very clear "Regardless of the lawfulness of the referendum, the Spanish authorities have a responsibility to respect those rights that are essential to democratic societies”

So to be clear - according to the UN office of the high commissioner of human rights, the Spanish government are violating the fundamental rights of the Catalonians. This is an illegal and wholly immoral act. It is not sufficient to declare that it is 'illegal' for them to attempt self determination.

I've had some top-of-the-top-page successes in the last year with my Ruby project - I don't think it's that bad.
It isn't official in the sense that the Spanish government has acted to declare it unofficial in various ways. That doesn't make it unofficial or mean that most people won't vote (if that were really the case the Spanish government wouldn't be using force and arresting lots of people to do whatever they can to prevent it).

In terms of legality according to the UN (as I have linked for you above) it is the national Spanish government who are acting illegally here because they are violating the fundamental rights of the Catalonians, which supersede and regional or national laws / constitutions. Spain has a moral and international legal obligation to not oppose the referendum.

To be practical, it would have been significantly painful for Apple to adapt and improve KHTML by keeping their code and changes outside it and only dynamically linking to KHTML.

If it were just as easy (or even comparably easy) to carry on (and maintain) development via external linkage, LGPL would have been long useless.
Surely Catalonia should accept independence of Spaniards pockets, though I realize that in practice they probably won't. Why do you think there should be a forced limit for recursion?
Agreed. I use a lot of Linux, but if things go wrong the losses are financial and temporary. I can't imagine trying to design a system that must never fail on top of Linux. Reliability is rarely served by addition.

High cost of living? Where’d you get that idea? It’s true that some things are certainly more expensive – gas, alcohol, dinners in mid to high end restaurants – but other things, notably the big ticket items like rent, are typically cheaper than in many other places I’ve been and especially big cities. No need to pay health insurance or other not-really-optional fees is also relevant. Sweden isn’t perhaps cheap per se, but I wouldn’t say it’s much more expensive than anywhere else.

I live in Sweden, and I’ve lived abroad in both the UK and US, and I’d say living in Stockholm is a lot cheaper than London, and certainly a lot cheaper (and much easier, if you can find an apartment that is) than NYC or SF. But of course it depends on your way of life I guess.

FWIW I’ve bootstrapped my business, and as someone else suggested in this context the social safety net takes away a lot of the anxiety in doing this. It’s not easy, but I also know if shit hits the fan I won’t be out on the streets the next morning.

I never understood which table caused these issues at Uber. They use an example with birthday changes for users. That's no real world example. Apparently issues were caused by a small table updated 500+ times a second and used in a lot of joins. That could be the driver table but why would they update it so much? Personal information rarely changes and live information about the driver (trip status, position, online/offline) should be stored separate from that? And you wouldn't need transactions around those updates?

Did they ever clarify what data actually caused the issues?

Building new Web APIs was a core pillar of Firefox OS development, and it applied to desktop Firefox as well. Unfortunately these efforts were bogged down by poor executive leadership and the difficulty of getting any other browser vendor to take new APIs seriously, so the work went pretty slowly.

Gamepad API spec efforts began as part of this, for example. Then another vendor kicked their own inferior spec out the door without talking to anyone and that ended up being the de-facto standard (not the first time). Other APIs like exposing battery status, network connectivity status, and the ability to notify with vibration were in the works, just to name a few I remember.

And what culture!: Cars, cinemas, smartphones, paellas, metro, electric lights, big buildings, McDonalds, Hollywood films, playstations, computers... all created and discovered by the industrious Catalonian people. They also eat onions entire, make a substitute of Champagne and are expert climbing over other people to raise nice castles in the thin air.

Yeah, they have their own culture, as every other guy/girl in the country (and their pets). Everybody has a culture and a millenary history to tell here.

Yeah. Well, it's not just "features", it's also stuff like minor differences that the spec allows for (the spec doesn't spec everything). For example, assuming the order of elements in the indexed getter of getComputedValues().

There are also cases like where Google's U2F library doesn't work with Firefox's U2F implementation because Firefox's window.u2f is immutable, as a newer (IIRC draft) spec dictates, whereas it isn't in Chrome, and the library does `var u2f=u2f||{}` which errors in Firefox.
I'll never agree with censorship.

Funny you mention that. I live here (I´m not Spanish or Catalan) and all I see is towns and cities completely plastered with variants of "Vote yes!" and not a single flyer, banner, or poster with "Vote no". There is no information, only the whipping up of the masses. Yesterday in my village there was a massive banner stating "Say hello to the Catalan Republic!".

All of this is paid for by public funds. It shouldn´t be.

There is no "organised anti-independence movement" as such. There are anti-independence political parties, but they lack the funding of the insanely massive PR campaign that is currently being waged.

Then there is the intimidation. I am a quiet neighbor, don´t bother anyone, and mostly want to get on with my life in peace. I frequently have Catalans yelling at me to get the fuck out of their country. The xenophobia here, as well as in Barcelona, is at an insane pitch. These fuckers can have their independence, and sink in the sea for all I care. I have lived in many countries over the years, and have never been in a less welcoming place.

I have visited Denmark and Sweden, and the most obvious change when you cross the border is that Danes rarely smile walking down the street (or talking to you), whereas Swedes look generally happy.

It is likely a cultural thing, as young (4-6 year old) Danes on the street do some happy, unlike their older siblings and parents;

I am aware that this contradicts surveys that conclude Danes are the happiest people and Swedes aren’t - just recounting my personal impression

These kind of things matter and are very rarely captured in statistics

It remains a complete embarrassment that Ethereum is based on a home-grown trainwreck of a programming language instead of one of the existing well-supported, battle-tested verifiable programming languages out there. Honestly, they could have used C and been better off because of the amount of C verification tools out there - Solidity hardly seems safer than C and its compiler has a history of potentially catastrophic newbie mistakes [1]. Note that some of these bugs are in an optimizer, something a security-focused package handling money shouldn't even need, especially if it risks compromising correctness of the contracts.

People talk about Solidity being JS-inspired, but simply using JS would have also been better, because there is verification tooling out there for it, along with compression tooling to make it smaller. And people can use higher-level to-JS compilers like Typescript to get stronger safety assurances if they wish.

Any claims that performance justifies the use of a home-grown language are also absurd: High-performance trading firms like Jane Street make use of verifiable functional programming languages like OCaml despite the importance of speed & latency in order to turn a profit. [2]

No amount of effort from security researchers is going to completely compensate for the fact that the people running Ethereum have incredibly bad taste and make poor decisions. I remain concerned for people who put their wealth at risk investing in smart contracts because the average contract probably has unnoticed issues.
