Dude, I can't anymore. I thought this had nothing to do with chores but only "emotionally draining" things.

I don't know if I buy the premise there's a difference in which sex is drained more, I don't think you can extend an argument to a whole gender based on a % difference in averages, I don't know if it matters who is drained more, I don't know if the cause is cultural, I don't know the answer is blog posts rather than spouses just telling each other how they feel, I don't buy that this is a pressing problem worthy of my focus (as compared to say, pesticides).

I guess I don't know why I engaged with this article anymore, lol. But no worries, you tried to explain it and that sincerity counts for something.
That is absolutely correct. If we were to drill deeper down, the purpose of 'education' and the certificates it brings for most jobs is extremely questionable. I'm an advocate for education for highly skilled jobs where lives are at stake, such as doctors and civil engineers.

But it's hard to see and justify the same need for typical white collar jobs where college is mostly a repetition of high school and employers train you/indoctrinate you with their koolaid anyway once you're done showing them you have a Bachelor's/Master's.

The same applies for comp sci/developers where a lot of the talented ones tend to enjoy writing code or playing around with tools like web APIs or their Android SDK way before they went to college anyway. It seems a lot of people who weren't passionate in the tech field before, but majored in the T part of STEM in college basically forced themselves into it for the money. They end up graduating with the same certificates anyway, but the forced-non-passionate ones use the cert only for getting their foot in the door while still lacking critical thinking and have little interest in improving/enhancing their skill set (See: majority of developers from India).

And don't even get me started on lower-tier majors like communications, history/librarian, arts, basic design, etc where little more than basic hands-on training would be adequate to get people on their feet to do their jobs, versus spending a ton of time and money on 4 to 8 years of 'higher education'
This thread isn't talking about countries being democracies, they're talking about being under the rule of law.
In what way would a referendum where every single person (of voting age) in the region could vote would 'not remotely reflect the actual will of the people'?

This sounds like the sort of explanation a dictator would give for why a democratic vote would not tell the 'true story' of whether they really loved the dictator.
Yes, if Cryptonomicon does well, then the Baroque Cycle could be the prequel series.
So if they succeed to split would you call it tyranny not to let pockets of Castilian speaking minority areas in Catalonia claim independence? Maybe joining Spain? Where would this end (maybe there are pockets within the pockets within the pockets)? It is a practical shitty situation. Do not make it sound SIMPLE. Do not use the word tyranny when it does not apply.

And the rich leaving the poor seems like a right wing thing to do. Maybe Franco would agree that the smaller "upper class" need protection from the tyranny of the poor. Or maybe money is not the biggest part of the equation, maybe it is just a nationalistic disgrace of the same kind that forced Castilian as language onto Basques and Catalans during Franco. Maybe we will get a Franco like situation in Catalonia where minorities are not allowed to teach/speak Castilian. I think that would be a disgrace for every decent person killed by the butchers of Franco and other "nationalists".

And what is the lesson to learn from all this, should all nations start to force minorities to speak the national language just because if we give minorities relative freedom and power they will claim independence? And possibly treat our minorities left bad?
Those ones are actually quite rare in LA. People who are down on luck have access to shelters, church outreach efforts and government assistance. They also have access to a fairly large job market and a public transportation system that's pretty reasonable for the US, so being rational people they are generally off the street pretty quickly.
Historically, has the federal government pumped more resources into Catalonia than it extracted from it, or the other way around?

why NICs couldn't support the crypto in a way that it can just send the packet straight to the wire after encryption.

That's how the Chelsio T6 works. On the transmit path the NIC needs to perform encryption, TLS framing, and TCP/IP/Ethernet segmentation in that order; on receive it needs to perform TCP reordering and such before decrypting. Most NICs just don't want to add that much functionality.
> This almost makes it sound as if increasing to N cores will increase the ops by N * rows per second. But it won't, not even close, not when you are reading from the same hard drive/SSD card. If you are basing your calculation on max I/O output, then additional CPU cores will make little to no difference or worse would decrease performance.

In practice for plans involving seqscans and such you'll very commonly hit CPU bottlenecks before you hit IO limitations. Especially if you aggregate with a few aggregates. We (the pg community) are working on making that less of a bottleneck, but it's still a common occurrence.

The point here is that you have multiple constraints, including IO and CPU, and you can roughly calculate which ones you'll hit first.

I'm genuinely curious which part ipfs solves here? Given that it's still accessed via browser/domain wouldn't they just block the dns or even ip?
In which case this is no more resilient than say multiple domains and dns entries and proxying on from there to a central database (which could be run in a jurisdiction over which Spain has little control and which they would have to discover first anyways)

Let's leave the current issue aside and speak to your general statement - that voting for an illegal action is typically considered immmoral.

Do you mean to say this is basically universal?

I'm American. I would not expect many people here to say holding a vote can be a crime. Many people would say that secession itself may be a crime even if it was voted for (while others would say the vote establishes the right to secede).

But they would say holding a vote is a right that should be protected by killing the people trying to prevent the vote from happening, if necessary.

I wish I could be as excited as everyone else re: the new Firefox. I've never switched to Chrome, and dealt with some of the previous performance issues. I dealt with these issues because of Vimperator, which as far as I know, won't work with the new version of Firefox. A real bummer.
We agree. For instance, we have a very strong anti-drug stance, despite not thinking it's immoral. We just don't want to draw unnecessary attacks against our platform.

The SEC thing was probably unavoidable anyways.
Ironically Firefox OS would become a lot more viable with these sorts of performance improvements. Using Firefox Nightly I have actually felt an occasional sensation of blurring between native and web, because of how quickly some sites render and respond. I wonder how applicable these innovations will be on the mobile web. You'd have thought parallel processing would be particularly important in mobile processors where the single core speed is often a fraction of the multi core speed.

A data scientist trains an ML model, and in analyzing the results discovers some intrinsic property or invariant of the problem domain. The scientist can then encode that information into the model and retrain. And that goes on and on, each time providing more accurate results.

Mmmaybe,

It's tricky to articulate what pattern the data-scientist could see ... that an automated system couldn't see. Or otherwise, perhaps the whole "loop" could be automated. Or possibly the original neural already finds all the patterns available and what's left can't be interpreted.
But unlike now, they'll be paying the other neighborhood for that privilege instead of getting it at a discount via being able to lobby.

That's not an explanation. It's just an assertion they'd not do bad stuff, ignoring what he previously tweeted. Neither is his stuff about it being compatible with law enforcement. A real explanation would follow through the thought and say exactly how they can make zCash "too traceable for criminals".

Especially when Green has his own quote saying they're OK building backdoors for police.

Or maybe that is their entire plan. Say something slightly sketchy, knowing any real criminal will be too paranoid to trust it. Worked for me.
That kind of stuff is kind of hot on TV right now--think of Sherlock from the BBC. Lots of crazy graphics overlaying the shot, with narration or voice over. I feel like producers have figured out how to do shows about super geniuses and their weird way of perceiving the world.

I mean, you'd have to cut down some verbose stuff, sure. But you could also expand some stuff, or turn narration into visual action.
If I understand correctly a recent presentation by Eli Ben-Sasson, one of ZCash's scientists, there is now at least one ZK system with this 'transparent' property (needing no trusted setup), but it is not yet practical for a blockchain currency.

There's a huge deficit of affordable housing in some areas of the US, and incredible imbalance of growth and job opportunities due to the increasing centralization and monopolization of the US economy.
Think this is what Firefox should focus on, Chrome has had incredible resources put into making the devtools amazing, and they are amazing. If Firefox has a few killer features, it's not going to prevent people from using Chrome devtools, but they will Firefox as well, which is what everyone really wants, for the good of the web.

There are historic and cultural reasons to split also.

The economic rationale behind your post is absolutely correct. However we don't want to split because we don't want to share; we want to split because of the missuse and economic opression and the unending corruption that plagues Spain. We don't think ourselves of so-prosperous at all in that sense - and at the same time I'll admit corruption is always an issue in democracy, but Spain's case is taking it to ridiculous levels.

Let me post sources in few for what I'm saying, on the phone right now.
We abandoned it at v4 because it just doesn't fit within the modern landscape.

Building the DOM via JS wasn't going to work for us. We had to re-learn how make simple things and we were at the mercy of the Ext API. The resulting DOM was incredibly bloated, different in IE, and was a nightmare to style.

Template-driven apps like Angular, JSX in React, Vue, etc are much easier to use overall. Less to learn, faster adoption for new developers, cleaner separation, better portability, and small, clean, and consistent output.

To be fair, the original authors of our application had little idea what they were doing either and misused/abused Ext, which made everything 100x worse.
The ML community did take the Theory approach trying to prove bounds, SLT/SRM, PAC, etc. and that was an excercise in futility. While I don't deny that there is value to looking under the hood but for a long while the community abandoned any empirical results that didn't fit their paradigm. Between rigorously validating their methods and writing yet another 4 page long proof. A lot of researchers would prefer latter, effectively locking out empirical approaches from most dissemination venues and eventually funding.
I used (and paid for) LastPass and even convinced work to go with LastPass Enterprise. Then LogMeIn came along and bought them. Using an MBP as my primary machine at the time, I switched to 1Password (paying for the full version for my MBP, iPad, and iPhone) the very same day. Then, they pulled the ol' switcheroo and went to a subscription model.

That turned a lot of people off from 1Password.

Since my primary workstation and primary laptop now both run Arch Linux -- which 1Password has no desire to support (and don't even mention how shitty the Windows version runs under Wine) -- I'm back to where I was years ago, running KeePass/variants. I don't expect to switch to anything else for a long time -- my "secrets" are mine and only mine, once again.
Which would mean any overseas sites wouldn't care as they'd be outside their jurisdiction, or Spain would need to implement a Great Firewall like China.
Their marketing problem is, in my interpretation, based around the flawed mindset that you should treat users as non-technical cattle. This is the chrome way. The problem is, Mozilla has historically thrived off of the opposite - the 'hacker' mentality. The only reason Mozilla even exists is due primarily to Jamie Zawinski!

I agree with your point about the shift in major version releases — this was another marketing ploy to 'catch up' to Chrome (who, for whatever reason, popularized the ridiculous practice of tagging releases with huge numbers).

When it comes to add-ons, this bigger-is-better mindset/fallacy is one of the things that Mozilla touts about the ~2000 new web-extensions on AMO. What they fail to mention is how many of these are just utterly useless (or whose core functionality is bested by something like youtube-dl, mpv, using the dev tools, etc.). People don't want the highly limited feature-set provided by web-extensions, they want add-ons that integrate themselves deep into the browser internals (noscript), leverage the add-on sdk, or modify the browser chrome:// in some way.

Edit: I cannot speak about the FOSS community as a whole (I only have experience in academia/government work), but from what I have read online about Mozilla's internal leadership, it currently seems like a difficult place to work if you legitimately care about these kinds of issues.

As for Palemoon, (I have made this clear in previous posts on HN and reddit), but I generally consider that project to be less than a joke. It would take an absolutely herculean amount of time and energy to keep their feature-set even with Firefox while retaining all of the stuff that is being decimated from mozilla-central. It's never going to work. They should focus their attention on SeaMonkey (comm-central) instead of wasting their time.
However, United Nations experts don't think the same as you.

> What do free speech have to do with a local government breaking laws?

Censorship is what it has to do with. The Spanish Government does not want the Catalan government to be able to organize people and thus has tried to remove the people's right to communicate with each other about it.

I was directly addressing the parent comment. It also addressed free speech.

> do you think the reaction from the Spanish government will also be an attack on their right to free speech?

It may be; that entirely depends on what the reaction is.

What's wrong with independence of small groups? The more governments - the more competition. Why are we against big monopolies in every area, except the state services?
This is incorrect.

If, for example, the State Of California, in the US, were to organize, without constitutional mandate, an "official" referendum calling for succession, Federal Marshall would be all over that in a blink of an eye.

And I'd agree that heavy-handed action gives the Calatan separatists quite a boost ... for the short term. But states don't really have choice about enforcing the law when a significant actor is visibly flouting that law. That's just how the law works, more or less everywhere it exists.

IE, the situation is as the GP states.

You have 32bit support on 16.04 through 2021.

If by that point you can't just throw another 512 of RAM at the problem, I'd be worried. 1GB is already starting to become the lowest rung for VPS providers. That's the $5 plan at Linode, anyway. I fully expect that to be universal (or greater) in four years time.

And that's not to mention that while a little wider, 64bit is also faster. This could be a saving factor under load.
His undeniable integrity
Valencia is also in the same line, but there is a dirty secret that nobody wants to hear and much less admit.

Franco, being the same horrible dictator that killed a lot of innocent people, favoured actively Catalonia's economy over other provinces, for decades.

Is true that he discouraged them to speak in Catalonian language, but also discouraged people to speak in Galician language (and Franco was born in Galicia). At the same time give them priority in the efforts to rebuild industry and infraestructures after the civil war. Catalonia is richest than other parts of Spain, in part because Franco wanted 1) having a cluster of industries next European frontiers and roads to trade and obtain foreign divises easily, 2) money from tourism 3) conjurate the revolts giving the area a special silk-hand treatment after the first iron years passed.

Specially in the late stages of franquism, a massive exodus of workers from other parts of Spain migrated and stablished in Catalonia atracted by the favourable conditions to work and live and the "smell of freedom".

I'm aware that this counts as black heressy for millions of young people in the area, but well... nobody will stop them to read history books about post-war if they want. Ask your grandpa. Everybody in Spain has an uncle or some cousins in Barcelona.

Oppression is not something allowing you to became one of the more modern and rich places in the country; oppresion, to me, is what happened to Extremadura in the same period for example.

Besides, the Wilson doctrine is usually more relevant for this sort of movements than whichever piece of paper is supposed to be law here or there. A population cannot be denied the right to self-determination, which includes splitting off if they really want to. It can be a stupid move (see Brexit), but people must be given the possibility to democratically discuss it and vote on it; because otherwise things will eventually go full Balkan, and you never want to go full Balkan.
