I think there's different things going on here.

If I were to point out women that I find physically attractive solely from a set of pictures, they'd probably skew to the younger side.

But in reality, the important aspects of a life mate for me go way, way, way beyond just being attractive physically. That 23 year old on OKC might spur a momentary sexual fantasy, but never in my right mind would I truly want to date someone of that age.

In other words, I picked my mate because I find her very attractive - physically, intellectually, and emotionally. But that doesn't mean younger women aren't attractive in a putely physical sense.

I'm rambling now.

At 90Gbs, we're sending about 8Mpps (which is mitigated by TSO). However, we're receiving at about 2.2Mpps. Until the RSS based LRO, about 2Mpps was going all the way up the stack into TCP. After the RSS based LRO, that was cut in half.

IndyRef didn't hammer out all the details first either. Neither did Brexit. Before the detail-hammering starts, it needs the decision that people actually want it in the first place (the referendum) otherwise it's all moot.

A two-referendum model isn't necessarily a bad idea -- if you hold the first referendum on negotiating independence, and the second on executing it. Though I suspect you'd need to make that clear before the first referendum, otherwise it'd seem like "Hmm, that wasn't the answer we wanted; perhaps if we ask you the question again..."

It having gone this far, though I could be wrong, I can't currently see denying a referendum working for anybody. Spain seems to be pursuing a kind of One Spain policy, and I doubt the Catalan populace will go along with that -- seems more likely to get their hackles up to say there's no way they could have independence even if they all wanted it.

It matters when you go into debt buying a four door Uber approved vechicle, just to find out that your "Hustle" is not paying the bills, or even the car payments.

(I wouldn't have a problem with Uber's business plan, except for the vechicle requirement. Let Independent Contractors drive whatever their state let them register. Let the customers decide whether they want to get in? A safety inspection I kinda get. Then again the driver is the one paying for commercial insurance?)

I am definitely willing to give it a shot but they need to fix the dev tools.

I'm on 56 atm in Windows 10 / 16 GB RAM / Core i5-3570K and for whatever reason when I press F12 to open up the console it is really sluggish and takes a good whole second to draw itself.

Does 57 solve that?

That said I could see myself just using Chrome for development and FIrefox as main browser. I did the opposite for a while until Firebug was phased out and Chrome Dev Tools became better.

" a general consensus that everyone would just like the legal option to vote regardless of yes/no leanings."

And that it's really the only relevant point in this issue. All the other arguments are just distractions.

When 82% (1) of the population want to vote, the two options are, voting or an undemocratic imposition by people that doesn't live in the area.

In the context of a democratic Europe, sooner or later there is going to be a vote, ergo, whatever the result, better sooner than later.

The United Nations have sanctioned the self-determination right [1]. Quoting wikipedia:

> It [the self-determination right] 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.

Hence, your argument breaks down at some point. The big issue is how to define that point, because the right definition does not include qualifying criteria for what constitutes "people" and what doesn't.

Based on their strong national identity, pro-separatists in Catalonia consider that they have this right. There are many issues and arguments supporting both sides (although most state-nations are against any kind of wide applicability of the self-determination right for obvious reasons).

In any case, nobody, neither in Catalonia nor elsewhere advocates for that right for your family, your district, etc. because you don't have a national sentiment, you don't feel like a separate ethnic and so on.

We can discuss whether Catalans constitute an ethnicity separate from the Spaniards or not, whether the self-determination right applies in this case or not, and so on... but please don't use the "If Catalans can, my family should also be able too" because it is just derailing the conversation.

> The reviewers also note that when only high-quality studies were included, the difference between exercise and no therapy is less conclusive.

People think exercise works. When you test it you find some evidence it works unless you do a good test, and then it doesn't look like it does anything more than doing nothing.

This is important - suicide is a leading cause of death, and people who don't know what they're talking about should stop telling people with a potentially fatal illness to "go for a jog".

Forgive my naivety, but which one?
Hi Dave,

Thanks for checking it out!

I definitely agree; traditional notation is quite more suggestive, though I don't know how much this is because of previous exposure to it.

The long term question here, I believe, is whether the cognitive overhead of using hexnot can converge to the cognitive overhead of using traditional notation. When you learn it, a notation should make things as easy as possible; so I'm interested in finding out empirically if hexnot has actual value as a notation for memorizing, interpreting and composing.

As for an editor, I am considering the idea of writing a parser for hexnot, which could also generate some other kind of output, but not at this moment :). And, of course, if you're interested in experimenting with this, I'll be glad to be of help.

Cheers!

He’s free to do what he wants with his company.

The problem is all these people going into headless chicken mode about how Oracle could discontinue the open source licence of the “original” MySQL, so they’re embracing MariaDB (the company) because it’s run by Monty so it must be open source friendly.

You can use/support MariaDB all you want but let’s not pretend they’re great bastions of open source compared to Oracle in the MySQL realm.
How about OCaml, .NET, Interface Builder for NeXTSTEP/OSX.

There are French programmers in all the opensource projects that I'm involved in.
The statement "Country X has a lot of startups" also applies to more or less any Scandinavian country (and Finland, which isn't part of Scandinavia but part of the Nordic countries).

One thing to note about Norway: they might not have the same urge to create startups as they already are among the wealthiest countries in the world thanks to their very wisely spent oil reserves.

"But there’s no chance a binding secession referendum would be allowed in the U.S.."

I'm not sure what you mean by that but I would like to know.

Suppose that 100% of Texas wanted secession (it's just an example), what the federal government would do?

Keep a permanent occupation force like in Iraq or something like that?

It would be difficult keep talking about democracy with a straight face.
Because of lacking SNI support? You can try an Ajax request or loading a picture over SSL and then redirect with JS if it doesn't fail. If the SSL site serves HSTS headers, all SNI supporting browsers will in the future default to HTTPS independently of the kludgey redirect (because all browsers that support HSTS also support SNI).

Sure. An unconditional redirect would be better, but that requires a dedicated IP
Other regions were oppressed AND kept down economically. There was even innovators, like Barreiros, a galician-born car and truck manufacturing brand that was cut off from growing more because of SEAT, that had quite a big impact in Catalonia, in terms of capital flows, jobs etc.

There is more to a project than a programming language used in isolation.

I'm Finnish (the lang is nowhere near English) and I've begun coding in my early 20s and I'm a technical co-founder (who actually knows his stuff). I don't think language is the reason here.

Good education, smart people, good safety nets and a culture of doing things well & properly are IMHO better explanations.

About the culture thing: go to anywhere in Europe/World and you'll find out that the Nordic countries in general have very clean cities and all broken things like door knobs etc. are replaced faster. Design & architecture is very simple, functional and there isn't much "kitsch" to be found. I'd say this helps in startups too: you'll find people who really want to do their job well and build a solid product.
The thing you have to figure out, is that our brains and consciousness are just a big collection of "thoughtless fuzzy pattern recognizers". There's nothing magic beyond that.
Interesting.

I'd like to add, that with people who are of same age, you share being from the same generation. You got similar jingles in your head from commercials and the jokes connect, you heard similar pop music at the age of 16 as well as the age of 5 and 25, you might've seen similar TV series (esp so if your interests align), you experienced your first phone with T9 (whereas a younger person never experienced T9), etc. In short, your reference points are more aligned.

What this also means, generally speaking, is that a younger person is less experienced (not necessarily less intelligent) while an older person is more experienced (not necessarily more intelligent). Wisdom however, comes from experience.

Add to that, that women grow slightly quicker to adolescence and you have a plausible explanation why women seek (slightly) older men but not deviating much so that you speak of different generations.

After Franco, Spain has been governed for 6 years by centrists, 21 years by socialists, and 14 years by the PP.

The fantasy of "the Transición didn't take the francoists off the power" would need the likes of Felipe Gonzalez be "mentally francoist". It's no more than a feel-good fantasy.

The fact that you need to convince the majority to change something, while individuals are constitutionally protected, is really how democracies work. If anything, nationalist minorities have wielded much more power in the Spanish Congress than other minorities with more voters, due to quirks of our electoral law.

I've been thinking we should have a Federal program that helps people in small towns relocate into urban areas or suburban areas at the outskirts of cities. I think letting sparsely populated rural areas depopulate would save us billions on infrastructure since it costs far more per person to run and maintain miles of road out to nowhere rather than short roads to apartments, townhouses, and neighborhoods. As a city dweller, I would gladly exchange the massive federal infrastructure costs that incentivise rural life for the much more consolidated stress this would put on my local infrastructure.

The irony of my proposal is that, while it is in a sense the converse of what NY is doing, I guarantee you it would draw vastly more outrage. The costs of sheltering the 60,000 homeless in NY is nothing compared to the costs of subsidizing rural America to the tune of trillions of dollars. The former is considered a debatable charity, while the latter is never questioned.
Independentist Catalans have been freely expressing themselves nonstop for many years, and will continue to enjoy that freedom like everybody else.

Well it was about the damn time! A lot of ICOs are borderline (or just straight) scams. There have been even cases where the ICO funds have been "stolen" but rumours say the founders just took the money and ran.

A lot of the so called "products" and "businesses" pitched by these ICO companies are just well known already working models somehow forced into the blockchain with the only reason being the ability to do an ICO (and generate an absurd amount of money for the founders).

Another common feature of ICOs: there's never any equity on the table. The founders are gonna cash in on the ICO and then later do an exit (sell the company, IPO, whatever). ICO "investors" are not gonna get much for their money here.

At least during the dotcom bubble some companies made it and the investors then got real equity for their money.
I can imagine situations where such a program would be a global net positive. For example, if the victim of homelessness is working homeless, and has family in another city they want to get back to, but do not have the means to secure an apartment in the other city. I doubt they are offering to toss money like this to vagrants.

The optics are awful, but I can think of situations where a program like this comes from a good place and accomplishes some good. Maybe not as much good as building 10x as many new skyscrapers for housing, but some good.
