I have no crystal ball, but most of this people are just entitled rich kids. There are a few gangs in the movement that are used to organized violence, but most of the people shouting in the streets will not stand real mambo for five minutes. I do fear Russia involvement. Putin sent a messenger from South Osetia.
Well, good luck with that. Spain was a fascist country for 40 years.

I get it, that people want to be paid for their writing. But I'm awash with stuff to read, and if there are hoops to just through then I just won't.

That's a choice for writers to make, and I appreciate that. They might also just decide that if someone isn't going to jump through the hoops then they aren't really welcome as readers. Not every reader brings value to a writer.

It's a choice, and I'm taking the time here to offer data that I'm a reader who won't, in fact, be reading this. I offer this comment in the spirit of trying to provide some value to the writer, and to writers in general.
I don't disagree that if you can get away with just a local development environment that it is likely easier to get up and running. However, it requires good documentation of project dependencies and discipline by the team to not accidentally upgrade their version of PHP without telling anyone, both things that are easier said than done. Vagrant lets you codify that through "code". In the case of my employer, it's a necessity, but obviously everyone is different.
I think as the tooling /IDE support for Elixir improves, so will adoption.
In the post author's defense, in the context of the Mir category of that site, it makes sense.
The words are literally synonyms, see any dictionary.
Spain has extensive experience with that though (see: ETA). The ETA lost in the end. Catalans may well turn to terrorism, but that will only cause them to lose international support.

Hasn't that already been a conversation since way before 2008 ie: "Joe the Plumber"'s candidate?

There is something more going on here. My own opinion is that the current potus is an appeal to nationalist authoritarianism where other more conventional republicans were not.

Question: If there was no employer side of FICA, is it likely that employees in the bottom 80% get a higher paycheck, since the employer has more money available? Or would most businesses invest that in other areas? Because otherwise you can also consider all other corporate taxes as taxes on employees, because without them there is more that they can spend on payroll.

Edit: I'd also like to explore what would happen if the entire 15% is invested in a 401k equivalent instead of receiving social security / medicare, how much more the average person would get in retirement.

Digital Homesteading: how we undersell remote work
Nothing is more important than medical freedom. You're welcome to vaccinate--you have that right--but vaccines have been proven to be unsafe for many. The federal government has paid $3.6 billion to compensate, and that's after they've denied most claims (those without undeniable proof it was the fault of the vaccine).
I did that a few years ago, and I found that VMware support lagged VBox. There were some plugins that looked like they might help, but I could never get them to work.
Everyone uses these types of headlines to justify their positions.

The statement was meant to provoke people, and honestly if it wasn’t Netflix nobody would give a damn. Because the real headline is “We chose the wrong tool for the job! Even pros make mistakes”.
I just want to add to this that accounting is extremely figured out in a lot of ways, and so learning it well will help you run your business better even if you are not doing the grunt labour. If you understand the ebbs and flows and trends of your particular business it is inevitably going to be tied to the concrete accounting data- economics is the same way. It tries to take the concrete and extract trends from it to understand how stuff works. If you are also working on a B2B sort of operation, accounting is part of the lingua franca. If you are completely naive to it you will be surely less off.
Fortran's older and Lisp is as old (it can be argued about whether COBOL or Lisp are older). Fortran and Lisp seem to have held up much better. ALGOL is another contemporary, and arguably the one that has the biggest impact on popular languages.
At my company we need to have virtual machines as close as possible (software wise) to our production environment, including the kernel version.
I think I need to get one of these.
Inflation is a funny beast. The measure of inflation is relative to a weighted index, the composition of which and weights thereof constantly changing over time. In fact, the relative price movements require changing weights, just like how index funds have to change stock allocations based on price movements. At any point in time, prices for some things are moving downwards and prices for other things are moving upward, making it entirely possible to game the overall number by deliberately changing weights. It is the literal definition of a moving baseline.

Compared to 2-3 years ago, many inflation measures can look or feel accurate, but go more than 30 and they are downright deceptive, and impossible to glean any meaningful insight. Even items that sound the same ("Houses") can be monstruously different (No indoor plumbing, no electricity, slavery for maintenance, etc.). How can you really compare today to Mark Twain's day when the shared subset of actually comparable items between our inflation index and his index likely contains no more than apples and tomatoes?
Saving San Francisco goes deeper than “build more housing”

Well, while the Catalan politicians will indeed enjoy power and fame if they win, they face a very unpromising future if they fail, such as prison and asset seizure. I doubt it is a rational, cost-efficient choice to support the independence.

On the other hand, the Spanish/pro-union politicians are untouchable and the risks they take, much lower.

Democracy and Capitalism have worked really well for us, so yes, there is a bias towards these ideas and a desire to share them.
I'd advise caution with the use of landrush, at my company it was very quick to get up and running using it, but we encountered several problems with it over time. We have several vagrant boxes coming up and down at various times on each developer's machine and it would tend to get out of sync in various cases, hold on to records for machines that no longer existed and macOS DNS cache also played a role.

Eventually we replaced it with Dnsmasq and a static IP setup with each development box getting an immutable static IP. Dnsmasq runs on a guest VM that needs to always be up for other purposes as well.

As always the effort from the landrush developers is much appreciated and it may be suitable for a limited number of boxes but it didn't scale with our usecase.
Not quite sure how WW3 works exactly between nuclear powers. Proxy cyber wars? Dumping US bonds? That is not really military action. Have people just forgot there are thousands of nuclear weapons ready to go at a moments notice?

Very cool. I'm looking at it more in depth and I'm pretty impressed. This is basically all things I've been doing for years, but encapsulated in a way that I'm pretty sure end users will be able to use. I've always built these beasts and tried to evangelize for a MEAN stack as the best option but people haven't been ready. I have never met a problem I felt promises were a good solution for, but you've done a really great job of using them to let people who can't think asynchronously get things done.

Pseudo URLs are also something I've done before but are never the optimal solution. Again though, this is something that will allow a total beginner to catch up to me about 75%, and I've been developing for 25 years.
USA is moving to the left, China is moving to the right, they swapped, guess who is to win in the long run?

sorry Trump, it is too late to fix, the tipping point has passed.
That's all true. And it happens on both sides; we have tweets like this [1].

People aren't smart. They grasp to whatever narrative already enforces the beliefs they hold. If you believe RT hacked the elections, then the ad is an admission of guilt. If you believe they didn't, then its satire. There's no truth anywhere here; its just dumb discourse for likes and views.

Social media is pure garbage. Its supposed to break down walls, but it just creates echo chambers. Its supposed to connect humanity, but it just spreads fear and disinformation. All of these platforms should be shut down; humanity is not better off for them. Jack and Mark should be ashamed of what they created, but they probably sleep well at night knowing that if they hadn't, someone else would have, in the same way a drug dealer knows that if they don't deal, someone else will.

If a state seceded then none of the constitution would apply in that jurisdiction, therefore secession very much violates the terms of the Constitution.

If you vote in a state government that claims to secede and then abridges my right to bear arms, then you have violated my rights under the Constitution. I don’t particularly care what state parliamentary procedure you think supersedes that right.
we only allow a user to be signed into either mobile or desktop at once to avoid even more excessive account sharing.

I would perceive this to be hard broken if that happened to software which I or my employer was legitimately paying for.

Why don't you talk to users and figure out why the account sharing happens? Is it because they don't want to pay for more seats or is it organic behavior caused by the difficulty of the end-user _actually purchasing_ more seats, given how software is bought in their organization?

If you're going to log someone out, let _both_ sessions know that. "You've been signed out since you just signed in on Chrome from 123.45.XXX.XXX. Was this surprising to you? Click here to bug your account owner to purchase additional seats." (adjust copy to taste)

"Since you signed in, we automatically signed out your existing session on Firefox at 123.45.XXX.XXX."

(If you want to be really sneaky about it, open a chat window between the two sessions and give them ~90 seconds to come to an agreement about which should be signed out ;) Your desired outcome there is one of them says "Gah, boss, James signed me out again when I was filing TPS reports. I can't work in this environment! Figure it out!" or "Memo to all hands: if you kick our CFO out of a screen sharing session with the auditors again, update your resume.")

More broadly, I would generally suggest selling buckets of seats rather than strictly per-seat unless you're absolutely constrained by your market or your customers' headcount costs model (like e.g. CRM for sales reps or ticketing system for support agents, respectively). This makes it easier to add new users to the system most of the time, which is something you want to encourage. I'd also encourage you to look at how Slack does seat-counting; it's elegant, is user-friendly, and puts as few roadblocks as possible to capturing the business of everyone in the organization. (I bet their terms are different for true enterprise deals, though.)

P.S. If this isn't a huge issue for you I'd generally suggest removing the restrictions and ignoring it; there are likely higher points of leverage in the business. Stats will be your guide.
> The US constitution has worked quite well (despite our penchant for drama) for a couple centuries

If you ignore the simmering dispute present at the founding that exploded into general crisis in the mid-19th Century and then into civil war, sure, you could maybe argue that it worked well for a couple of centuries.

But even so you'd have to ignore that the Constitution before and after that crisis are fairly radically different. (Though some of the significant differences saw no substantive effect until the 20th Century.)

Due to the language barrier, there is a lot of interesting work that we will never "see".

For example I was randomly looking through text recognition competition results and found out Tencent has an AI lab that took first place: http://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=1&com=evaluation&task=4.

The "liberal hysteria" narrative, like the "Russian brainwash" narrative, is a "thought-terminating cliche".

Perhaps Twitter, in a non-hysterical manner, decided that due to the strong evidence of a Russian influence campaign carried out through their service, they didn't want to be running ads for Russian-government-owned media anymore.
There's no definition there, it's just mentioned and of course there's a complete definition elsewhere.

Despots rarely give up without a fight. I question whether Catalans are willing to pay with their blood to gain their freedom. Clearly Rajoy is happy to shed their blood in order to keep them in thralldom.
Not sure why you feel the need to use slavery or communist as an example here, instead of, for instance, secessionist.

Maybe you expect to elicit a sense of horror in your readers?
In other asymmetric warfare situations, supersonic jets have done very little to end a conflict. No sane person would ever want to start a war with a civil militia containing nearly all able-bodied men in a region; it's bad enough when just a couple per cent are against you, all with small arms. Imagine how bad it would be with 20%, 30%, 40% of the able-bodied against you.

Except there's this little problem of federal election law that prohibits foreign nationals from buying political ads. If Twitter, Facebook, or Google knowingly accepted political ad buys from the media propaganda arm of the Russian government, that could lead to legal trouble.

One can make the argument that it doesn't matter who buys a political ad but that is not the current legal posture in the United States.

The saving grace for the SV companies involved in this scandal may be that the ad buys were from the US arm of RT so would not have technically run afoul of any laws. But judging from how shady and evasive Facebook and Twitter have been about the whole issue, it seems likely that they knew there was something wrong with these ad buys.
Oh please, no one can genuinely fail reading comprehension that hard.

I've shown very clearly that a temp drop in prices does not support your narrative. And that the prices are now back to an all time high.

You can stop pretending that you opinion is based on facts now, not fooling anyone.
Agreed, but the “Vagrant doesn’t start” saying is a real thing imo. Maybe it’s my experience but it doesn’t feel very robust.
I was confused by the lack of consistency across each of the graphs.

"No Opinion/Don't care" is sometimes gray, sometimes yellow, and sometime orange.

And for some graphs, the negative reaction is on the left and others the negative reaction is on the right.
I believe that your pro-western nationalism is evil, because this dualism fails to see the nuance, that american corporatism is just as bad as Chinese state socialism. I up-voted you, however, because you stated your opinion in the open, rather than simply implying it. I'd far rather people like you be open in their belief that this is some sort of situation where one country wins and the other loses.

I, however, believe that whoever wins this battle will be wealthy and powerful. Who-ever wins the race is the enemy. Not just the Chinese, but anyone who attains singularity is the enemy of the rest of humanity.

Even if that AI is open-source, unless there is a clear way for every person to have some level of control over the hardware that it runs on, the AI becomes the enemy of all people who will be disenfranchised by it.
Because they feel they have a mandate?

Or said differently, what would you do? You campaigned for it, organized a referendum, won it and now you do not follow through? What would your voters say?
Non-well-founded sets seem to be grammars from a CS point of view. As soon as you admit the Kleene-star '*' operator you have potential infinity. If you allow circular grammar definitions, then you are specifying non-well-founded-sets.

When parsing finite structures, it just so happens that the parsing terminates, but it's easy to extend to open-ended (potentially infinite) streams. There are even type system constructs and language expressions for them, but only executable in lazy languages, or systems open to external input.

CS has also made theoretical progress, perhaps the most surprising is differentiating regular expressions and other regular datatypes:

The executive branch, the "Catalan Government", doesn't have to comply with that petition, because resolution proposals are non-binding. The Catalan Parliament _does_ have real authority, because they have the legal authority to pass/approve laws (which a resolution proposal is not), and those laws are of course legally binding.

It's just that the parliament, in this case, has decided not to approve a law but a resolution proposal. Of course, they chose so to cover themselves and reduce the personal legal risks/repercussions for congressmen of approving this so-called "declaration of independence". Also the vote was secret because of that reason.

So in other words: the main reason removing the React code in the frontend in this case gave such an immense performance benefit is that the logic used to compute the rendered UI is significantly more complex than the logic necessary to make that UI interactive.

It's not React that's slow, it's the logic needed to render the page?

It's not limited to that. I agree that you should be able to learn in Catalan (but have the option of Spanish too). Visit the Catalan wikipedia, and you'll see how History is changed there with respect other Wikipedias. Read their books to see the bias in the way History is told. Indoctrination is a message with a "them and us" message that polarizes society, and has successfully done so. We all know words can be used in ways that can build a way of thinking of a generation. Well, those words are in the education system.
You are right on your point, only it seems like mentioned on the original post as you get older you start see the world differently and often more friendly for cooperation, society, politics and less bound to fashion.
