The Scottish and Catalan separatist movements were actually very similar until yesterday. Both have so far choosen the democratic route to freedom. In both nations the support for independence was under 50% but the support for a referendum to decide the issue was very high. The fact that the Spanish state used illegal force (some of the police used had no legal basis to enter Catalonia and the use of rubber bullets by police is not allowed within Catalonia) to break up a democractic vote will presumably cause the two movements to diverge now.

Btw no one is claiming moral superiority - merely experience. The UK has a long history of suppressing independence movements by force and this failing. With Scotland they finally tried another approach and it seems to work better so far..

A high turnout with a overwhelming vote for independence would have made it politically impossible to ignore.

So they chose the next worse option: violent crack down.

The least bad option would have been a negotiated referendum, with the full legitimacy of the State. And mind you, the separatists would have probably lost.
Who cares?

The Internet is breaking all the time anyway. Every day at least one of the bigger / more important sites I visit has a temporary problem with something. Three days a week HN keeps returning CloudFlare errors to me. Even Facebook has some issues that break it every other week. The world isn't ending because of this, and it isn't going to end because the site I co-host with my other friend is down for the night.

As you grow to the point where close-to-perfect reliability matters, you'll be able to afford to get someone do handle the hosting for you, just like you do today.
Yes, these are already being built. Interconnects are a large part of the energy transition. In addition to day/night connections, there is also a plan to connect desert regions of Tunisia to Europe via an undersea link, to take advantage of CSP plants that will be built there.

Interconnections reduce the effects of renewable variability.
His wife is Chinese and at the time he was very publicly studying Mandarin (and still is).

In any case, asking a stranger, albeit a VIP, to name your to-be-born first child is pretty weird. Doubly so in the context of Chinese culture.

And I wouldn't say this is due to "hyper-sensitive" Chinese culture. It would be seen as unusual even in western cultures.
I have asked this question before on HN and did not receive an answer: Tesla's level of access and handling of customer data scares me. Are there any car manufacturers who respect their customer's privacy? Or does buying a car in 2017 mean I should expect my every move watched by the manufacturer and available to them to use as they please without my consent?
Poppycock. My Chinese wife and my non-English speaking mother-in-law still haven't selected a Chinese name for my 9 month old son yet (wife vetoed my suggestion of 小囧, grandma isn't making any suggestions either even though she can't pronounce his English name), and at this point I'm even willing to ask Uncle Xi for suggestions.
This is essentially how it does work, except the maintenance button is pressed automatically for you.

You can take a Darwinist approach and say anyone who forgets to press the button deserves to potentially die in a fire, or you can say if it's really a potential problem don't release it, or you can actively monitor it.

Also note that if your internet goes down the unit doesn't just shut off -- that would be a poor feature for a backup power source.

I don't understand this either. The only way Facebook would be allowed to operate in China is if they do what the other Chinese social media sites do: have armies of staff on hand to delete politically sensitive content. Facebook would have to take on a significant new team, dedicated to nothing but deleting content deemed inappropriate to the Chinese government.

That's the only way Facebook could operate in China. I just don't see it happening.
Zuck is not a social butterfly even in the USA. It isn't surprising he is less so in china. Many Chinese make a big deal out of oversights and social faux pas, assuming they are intentional when everyone else just sees it as cringe (e.g. Jogging inpolluted beijing, I'm sure he just wanted to go for a jog!). That in itself is cringe worthy.
He never claimed he was addressing the argument. He just showed where you were incorrect, and you were.
GPS has a "speed limit" for that reason:

> In GPS technology, the term "COCOM Limits" also refers to a limit placed on GPS tracking devices that disables tracking when the device calculates that it is moving faster than 1,000 knots (1,900 km/h; 1,200 mph) at an altitude higher than 18,000 m (59,000 ft).[2] This was intended to prevent the use of GPS in intercontinental ballistic missile-like applications.

Dijkstra famously compared this to astronomers who have no interest in telescopes or observing

That certainly isn't my interpretation of the quote (unless you're thinking of a different quote than the one I'm familiar with)

The quote I know is:
"Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
Maybe in the US, here in the Netherlands you get a reasonable wage and usually finish withing 4 years during which you learn to write papers, keep yourself busy and determine the direction of a research project by yourself (at least more and more over the 4 years). Afterwards you can make the step to industry, quite comfortably.

During my first year I was already told, 1 of the 100 of you will become professor so I had no illusions.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Do you know of any good writing on the web or print that talks more about such abuses in the analytics and corporate world? Interested to learn how to spot when kooky tactics are at play in a tech/corporate setting, specially when its willful.
Finding products breakages through analytics is very backwards. If a team is deploying code that untested (or with that poor a process), could you really trust them to make informed judgements either? That needs to be fixed earlier than your product.

UX improvements or mistakes in a conversion pipeline, sure though. Fair points there. :)
I haven't even heard the word palindrome outside of either college or outsourced coding challenges

> my sense has been that challenges with Rust are written off in an off-hand way and its features exaggerated

Not by the Rust development team, which is what matters. They are keenly aware of the challenges, and have done a huge amount of work (particularly over the last six to twelve months) working on ergonomics and developer experience.

It's a primary focus for the Rust community, now and into the future.

Many (perhaps most?) of the specifications lined up for the current "impl period" (a time for building rather than designing) are related to developer ergonomics in some form.
I also agree. Realizing there can't be perfect model, I started promoting working directly with the master.

This requires to work out the problems in advance instead of letting them wait until merge time, but this . Having one branch means every team member is more or less aware of what is happening. It is much easier and it makes much more sense to set up automated pipelines if you have just one branch. Having everybody work on the same branch seems to focus people on gradual improving the codebase instead of making large rewrites.
This wouldn't be the first time that Facebook censors content based on bullshit reasons.

For example at one point they censored the famous "napalm girl" picture, saying that it's "difficult to create a distinction" between that one and pictures of nude children [1]. Well, then don't freaking censor pictures of nude children, it shouldn't be Facebook's job to police content, especially in the position that they are in.

When it comes to censoring content, in most cases censorship is wrong.

The only instances in which I tolerate censorship is hate speech, but even then I don't want Facebook to decide what is or isn't hate speech. Based on my experience of reporting posts and comments with textbook hate speech, I can tell you they are doing a pretty bad job.

I've never lived in NYC, but I did live in the Boston area for 10 years, then moved to Northern California. For a while I was flying back to Boston every couple of months. I definitely noticed the difference in mood in Boston Logan airport vs. San Jose. The grumpiness of Bostonians was particularly evident compared to the relaxed, upbeat mood of Californians. Maybe it's partly the weather, but I suspect it's also cultural; I didn't notice it being any better in spring and summer.
Hold up, I never said anything about schizophrenia nor did I say ayahuasca caused it.

The 2 articles you linked don’t mention ayahuasca at all. The active compound in ayahuasca is different from in LSD, mushrooms or mescaline. Show me a study done using ayahuasca that proves it has no link to mental illness.

It’s dangerous to dismiss negative anecdotes entirely. Take them as a warning in lieu of real studies being done.

This is me. I am 43, entering my fourth year of PhD. If you have money saved and want to challenge yourself in new ways a PhD is a worthwhile goal. A couple of thoughts:

1) Many of my 20 something peers are struggling financially, 20-30k a year is difficult to live on in CA. I made good money in my 20s and enjoyed life, having less now does not bother me.
2) I don't have children. My peers with children face a much different set of challenges than I do. I suppose it comes down to the support structure in your life, but I am not sure I could do this with school age kids.
3) I cannot stress enough the importance of a top tier school and a strong advisor.
In most other fields? Absolutely not.

I work at a small unassuming civil engineering company and we have plenty of PhD's here. Within most areas of science and engineering I'd say that getting a PhD because you want to go onto industry is the norm rather than the exception.
Y'all should have a look at ewig which uses Immer - really fast persistent data structures for c++. Ewig is just a proof of concept, but the code is really nice. I have thought about taking that and building something bigger.

The upsides are the same as for a piece table (really simple undo/redo) but with the downside of not being able to just mmap a file. You also get basically zero memory usage when you do cut and paste (you can paste a file into itself until it is bigger than RAM without problems, since you are actually not copying the contents, just the pointer)

Look at the YouTube video as well. It is all very cool, at least if you are not already spoiled by using clojure :)

https://github.com/arximboldi/immer/blob/master/README.rst

Edit: Forgot to mention: Ewig can be found among Immer's author Arximboldi's repos. On my phone right now on GPRS connection, so maybe another friendly soul can provide the link.

This really isn't why the JavaScript community is fucked. It's just a reference project for others to learn from. The spreading of information and ideas through code doesn't mean anyone's fucked. Why fucked? Are you reading into the fact that it's a young ecosystem with a turbulent flow at the moment? JS is just finding its groove. It's an always developing language that has the difficult job of being the language that runs on a fuck load of systems, within the enormities of the internet.

That's not as easy as it sounds, especially in those days.

I'm trying to think of a job or activity that involves scoping out military bases, keeping detailed records of their locations AND getting them home without getting caught at any step in the process. Even today taking a photo of the wrong building in the wrong country can get you into deadly trouble.

Even if your agent is successful, how do you know that he is not misleading you? You now have to risk losing another agent doing the same thing again, just to make sure. Even if your agents don't get caught, they may have come to the attention of and be secretly monitored by the local intelligence services, just to see what they are up to.

Lastly, is confirming the specific location of a base worth losing one or more spies over when knowing the general area is already "good enough"? Your bombers can confirm the location with their eyes (I know of at least one USSR aircraft design with windows on the bottom of the cockpit for exactly this purpose), and your nuclear warhead doesn't really care which side of the road an airport is on.
commercially available GPS receivers do normally implement the limits. This is why i said "commercial GPS signal" as the signal itself doesn't have any such limit, and anyone can make their own receiver without such speed/altitude limits and with higher accuracy than typical commercial receiver.

From what I've heard on the subject so far, decriminalization aims to make it harder to profit off of human trafficking, i.e., to help those who are forced/enslaved into prostitution, or at risk of such.

Galileo and Heliocentricity: A Rough Guide (2014)
Yes, I think after reading to the end I agree with your summary.

I still think there is value in using languages that eliminate entire classes of bugs though, for example using a language that has automatic memory management is a no-brainer except for certain specific domains where you need to do memory management yourself. Likewise with static typing: it eliminates type bugs. There have definitely been times for me recently when working with a dynamic language like JavaScript and there's been a bug in our code base that would not have happened had we been using TypeScript. Some of these bugs also had significant business impacts.

There is of course a trade off, typed languages can be more challenging to develop with: I've had a number of fights with the Scala compiler. Typically it's libraries rather than the base language, but it still costs time I wouldn't have spent if using a dynamic language. Also, the Scala compiler itself is very slow, to the point where the XKCD comic about "code's compiling" has been true. On modern Macbook Pros, this shouldn't be a thing anymore, but it still is :)
It's refreshing to see a major outlet carrying perspectives like this, at a time where "sex-positive" liberal feminism seems to dominate popular discourse.
>Krys focused on a cultural phenomenon called “uncertainty avoidance.” Cultures that are low on this scale tend to have social systems—courts, health-care systems, safety nets, and so forth—that are unstable. Therefore, people there view the future as unpredictable and uncontrollable. Smiling is a sign of certainty and confidence, so when people in those countries smile, they might seem odd. Why would you smile when fate is an invisible wolf waiting to shred you? You might, in those “low-UA” countries, even be considered stupid for smiling. Krys also hypothesized that smiling in corrupt countries would be, um, frowned upon. When everyone’s trying to pull one over on each other, you don’t know if someone’s smiling with good intentions, or because they’re trying to trick you.

Sounds a little sketchy to me. For one, tons of e.g. African, Latin American, etc countries are way more unstable and/or corrupt than the Eastern Europe/Russia countries the author mentions and yet they smile all the time without an issue.

Heck, he has Japan, France and South Korea high in the "unsmiling" countries and Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Philippines, China etc high in the "smiling" ones -- I guess no corruption on the latter group.

All the data table shows it "fuck if we know the actual reason" and not "it's corruption and lack of trust".
