Awesome comment, thanks.

I think most sane people aren't curious because of the conspiracy angle, but rather if any dots connect between the assassination and the US government's covert anti-communists, for example.

That would be rather interesting to know, although I'm dubious whether it's useful to know, at this point.
The Complete Guide for Short Tandem Repeats and Its Implementation Importance
I know the Gentoo init scripts clean /tmp by default on each boot anyway. My developer laptop now has 32GB of ram and 32GB of swap (which my OS rarely uses), so there's no good reason not to do this.

Edit: one thing I did run into, back when I was trying to deploy DC/OS on DigitalOcean:

http://penguindreams.org/blog/installing-mesosphere-dcos-on-...

If you scroll down to "startup issues," you'll see that by default, /tmpfs is given half of the size of your total available memory. For starting DC/OS on really small DO nodes (it is a memory hog), it would simply fail due to running out of tmp space.
“Almost impossible“ isn’t good enough. “Almost impossible” is why two women in Floria have the same SSN: born the same day, same state, almost the same name (Joanna and Joannie Rivera), and why they were not even the example I had in mind when I googled for a similar story I’d heard a decade earlier.

And if your goal is just “is this a human or a machine?”, well, let me introduce you to the idea of identity theft, and why people stole all that data from Equifax.

The only way to tell humans and bots apart is some form of automated Turing test, hence Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.

> Liveness having to do with maintaining invariants over the lifetime of a computation.

Nit: liveness is about reaching 'good' states over the lifetime of your computation. If your invariant is violated, even if it's a multistate invariant, it's still a safety error. Liveness would be something like "x is eventually true", or "the program always terminates."

It's not just specifications we need. We also need better tests. "Better" here doesn't mean "integration" or "acceptance", it means things like "fuzzing through contracts" or "comparing snapshots" or "rules-based state machines". Testing is vast and we're not very good at it.

Brief Introduction for Short Tandem Repeats
Microsatellite DNA, also known as short tandem repeats (STR) or simple repeat sequences (SRS or SSR), is widely found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, consisting of a unit of two to thirteen nucleotides repeated hundreds of times in a row on the DNA strand which is about 5% of the eukaryotic genome, the basic unit (core sequence) is 1-6bp. The most common of these is (CA) n and (TG) n, and the human genome has about 5 × 104 ~ 1 × 105 (CA) n repeats which take 10% of the genome. Each microsatellite DNA has the same core sequence structure, the number of repeating units is about 10 to 60 times, and its length is generally not more than 300bp, mostly located in the non-coding region of the gene, intron or untranslated region. which may be present in the Alu sequence or Satellite sequence, but in the coding sequence and exon also can find the presence of microsatellite DNA.

The high polymorphism of microsatellite DNA is mainly due to the difference in the number of tandem numbers. There is a big difference of the distribution for microsatellite DNA in different races and populations due to the number of repeat units and repetition, which constituted STR genetic polymorphism. And the number of repetitions between different individuals at a homologous STR site is also different so that STR loci analysis can identify individuals that are similar to fingerprint recognition. It is possible to create a personal gene file by identifying a specific sequence of genomes at particular loci. Currently, there are more than 10,000 STR loci are available. STR analysis has become an important analytical method for individual identification and paternity testing in the field of forensic science. It can be applied to judicial case investigation, that is, genetic fingerprint analysis.
For which reason, in spite of the potential inconclusiveness of these results, I am mildly concerned about the parent subject.

I used to be a smoker. After quitting and having some tests done by my doctor he said that my lungs should be back to functioning/health as if I'd never smoked inside of 4-5 years (so long as I didn't relapse. That hasn't been a problem). We didn't discuss chances of lung cancer in spite of that. If it's true that the supportive effects of B12 supplementation even on ex-smokers exponentially increases chances, then it becomes even more concerning.

I'll be watching for developments.
I find sticky sampling and lossy counting to be useful for this kind of thing. In fact it's what I use to identify heavy hitters of my high traffic DNS servers.

The Causes of STR
The replication slip caused by mismatches between DNA strands during the mitotic process is considered to be the most common cause of the occurrence of STR, and in general, there will be an average of one-thousandths of microsatellite DNA will undergo replication slippage. The study showed that the rate of tandem duplication at repeat sequences was higher than the probability of point mutations occurring elsewhere in the genome. Most of the replication slides only cause a change in the repeat unit, and the probability of replication slip is different due to the size of the different copy units and different species.
STR Detection Method
STR analysis is one of the most useful methods in molecular biology which is used to compare specific loci on DNA from two or more samples. There are two common methods for STR detection: capillary electrophoresis (CE) and gel electrophoresis, which can be used to determine the specific amount of microbes Satellite sequence and draw the STR map. Typically, each allele is shared by about 5-20% of people. And the advantages of STR analysis will be reflected in the simultaneous identification of multiple STR loci. Each individual can be identified accurately by the resulting STR map. In theory, if there were 16 STR loci being used in combination, the recognition rate will be 0.999999999998.
Carefully worded answer. To those who might take narag's words at face value, they're probably referring the 2014 referendum where voters were asked "do you want to Catalonia to be a state" and "and if so, do you want it to be independent". The result was 80% of the results were "yes" for both but the turnout was low (40-ish percent).

I don't think that is exactly decisive for either side, but to claim it as a win for the "no" camp is a little bit disingenuous.
The Importance of STR Analysis
It is still common for cell lines to be misidentified and cross-contamination, although scientists use a variety of traditional methods to identify cells, there are still dozens of cross-contamination happened. And even some researchers found that cell lines were misidentified or cross-contamination while cell identification reports for the higher score study articles publication, resulting in erroneous conclusions. All of which will lead to the waste of research funding and time, and resulting in a large number of invalid or erroneous data that will mislead other researchers. Based on the statistics data, around 20% of the cell lines were misidentified and cross-contamination in the labs so that it is a serious concern for researchers to provide accurate cell line identification and prevent cell lines from cross-contamination. Currently, several STR loci have been developed to analyze cross-contamination and cell types at the same time, that can detect up to 0.1 ng of DNA (about 15 Diploid genomes) with high sensitivity for the trace pollution.

All the mentioned above is the complete guide for the Short Tandem Repeat and its importance!

Thanks! I've set up an alert for when it goes on sale :-)
I'm not saying it's a good thing, but is there any reason at all to believe that the rest of Spain would have allowed the referendum if only Catalonia had been very nice to everyone else? Seems like an excuse to me.
Doesn’t Catalonia have a 13% unemployment rate? And a ~40% unemployment rate among young people? Seems like that fits those criteria pretty well...
I agree, civil war is very unlikely. I think we're in for a period of unrest much more like the Irish Troubles, with organized acts of political terrorism.

Yup, agree. Depending if you are working with a good static type system or with a dynamic language the value of unit tests can vary.

When working with dynamic languages I always end up writing a bunch of unit tests and a bunch of integration tests. I've experimented some with type hinting and static analysis in some dynamic languages but it's not the same as having the compiler make guarantees.
In the U.S., no one disputes that secession is legal. The whole country was founded by secession. It is, however, well-established by precedent that if any states do secede, the remaining states will then be able to launch a war of conquest against them, and re-annex their territory back into the union as a new entity with exactly the same name, borders, and government structure as before the secession occurred. If you want to secede, you must prepare to fight for it.

As of 1775, no English colony in North America had ever been independent. It had always been subject to the king of England. This was not sufficient reason for the colonists to remain loyal subjects of the crown.

The colonists took it upon their own initiative to secede from England. Any votes that may have been cast were taken mainly among those who wanted independence, and those who wished to remain loyal were likely not even informed that a vote was taking place. It isn't really there for a democratic mandate, but a means of gauging support among the uncommitted for any war that may follow.

In the ideal case, the result of the vote is strong enough that the war is a foregone conclusion, and it never actually happens. The WOPR concludes that the only way to win is not to play. Or it may be a means of the parent entity tactfully trying to shed a non-performant territory. Or it may be because people are genuinely trying to decide a course of action based on the will of the people. The U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, for instance, may one day hold a referendum to determine whether the island should apply for statehood, petition for independence, or remain in the status quo. It is likely that the remainder of the U.S. would honor the results of any such vote, though probably with the U.S. retaining sovereignty over any territory the military already directly controls.

It is not necessary for any national or international body to recognize the vote. It is purely for the secessionists, to determine if they could win a war if the parent entity invades after the split.

The secessionists don't have to pay any attention whatsoever to other regions with an equally strong or stronger case for secession.

If you are voting to secede, you don't care whether or not the vote is legal or binding. The explicit wording is regarding secession, but implicitly it is about whether people will take up arms for Catalonia, or at least not take up arms for Spain, if there is a war for independence. The percentages don't really matter, only the raw numbers. If 10000 people vote "yes", you know that there are potentially 10000 armed rebels out there, waiting for the signal to join the fight.

I think Spain is handling this in the worst possible manner, diplomatically. Viral videos of people getting beaten by police is only going to increase the number of people willing to fight to make it stop.

My understanding is that the polls were not universal, but only ran in the Catalonia areas with strong support for independence. And there was no vote security and verification, in fact, people were encouraged to vote multiple times in the same referendum.

So the referendum could not be construed as legal.

I don't think Brexit is a good example because the EU never was a Sovereign, united state in the same way that, say, the US is. The UK already has its own independently functional institutions, separate from the EU, and an international recognition and identity outside of EU. Not the same as Catalan province.

MLs are widely cited as some of the best languages for implementing compilers in, and large chunks of a compiler consist of transforming various ASTs. An AST being a particularly complex recursive ADT, it seems strange to claim that's a weak point of statically-typed languages.

> Instead of embracing a referendum about independence they decided to flatly declare it illegal

Not, this is a lie. Was not the government that declared it illegal. Were the judges of the hightest spanish tribunal, because in their opinion this is a disguised coup against constitution.

> Once they had the massive yes vote the only way out to the evil government is to surrender and negociate...

Another thousand times repeated lie. Because 2 million of votes (including X people voting n>1 times) is now the 90% of 46 million of people (including 7,5 million of catalonian people).

Lets suppose, for example, that some people would want to reinstall the slavery to Louisiana, or to bring comunism to Nebraska. "Would be good for the economy" they say. So they require to ask people for "blah blah blah democracy". Let suppose that they declare that if the referendum is positive, all black people will lose their properties and be slaves again, "because blah blah blah, pacifism".
And they want you to pay this circus with your tax money, because their shamelessness is infinite.

And then some people ask that government should allow this, because voting is good.

Should the government "embrace" this spoiled children acts and let them to steal millions of dollars in their face?.

Everybody can promote a referendum to ask people their opinion about anything, but with their money, without using public buildings and resources and without shamelessly declaring that the results from the poll will trigger a chain of illegal abuses and changes for most of the people in the zone.
Am I mistaken in understanding that BBC is similarly tied to the UK government?
21 pages, is not a plan. The Scottish independence plan was 500 pages or something.

Also, that "plan" merely states they will trigger article 50. Not what they will do after that. Which is the important part of the whole process. There was no talk of soft or hard brexit. No talk of how much it would cost, no talk about anything other than "We'll trigger article 50". Which it actually turned out, the plan was flawed because they legally couldn't do it and had to create a new law.

> I don't think it is a conspiracy theory to say Russia influenced them as well (at a $$$$ level):

Exactly. It went from Russians hacked or elections in Wisconsin. As in they logged in and changed vote counts. To piss dossier. To secret coded gestured at an official dinner between Putin and Trump. And now we are down to Milner considered "Russian influence". In this case we are in deep trouble. It means Alibaba, AirBnB, WhatsApp, Facebook, Flipkart, Zynga, Spotify are all their "pocket".

By that token Google is a "Russian" company with a Russian born founder who is now creating robots, knows everyone's search history, and spies on everyone via Android phones. Everything is lost, nowhere to run.

That's exactly how conspiracy theory works, it at the same level as contrails and lizard people.

Therefore, you will recognize some of the script. You will start to see the words that are repeated over and over and over, and you will hear them too. I start watching movies from the day I start learning a language. I barely understand anything, but I start learning pretty quickly. Try both, and report back. I guarantee you will learn quicker if you only use the foreign subtitles.

I'm citing it just as a similar debate that was handled without the same drastic errors that Spain made, not that it parallels Catalan's debate in any other particular way. At least as of this writing, peaceful secessions involving voting for secession is still a rare enough thing that they are all unique snowflakes. (Ask me again in 10 years.) I'm sure the EU made errors; I mean, that's almost a vacuous statement because there are always errors. (Pro-Brexit made errors too; also equally a nearly vacuous statement.) But there were nowhere near this drastic.
