I know RT is not very trustworthy, but let me get this straight - Twitter was inviting RT to spend advertising budget during the US elections, like any other ad sales team would do (Facebook, Google etc.). Twitter got the budget, and RT started making ads on Twitter. Probably controversial, since you want to maximise CTRs etc. Then Trump won. Then everyone started wondering. Then they pinpointed Russian media for making social media ads during the elections. And now Twitter banned RT ads to get the "problem" off their shoulders. Isn't this hysteria? Aren't we putting too much trust that social media ads can really sway the election that much? Because it seems, as other commenters here pointed out, ads weren't as big of a problem as bots and fake accounts spreading propaganda tweets. Even more, how much respondents say that their voting decision was made because of social media ads or social media posts?

The next Catalan elections will be a referendum by another name, no? Obviously without legal force, but if the parties for independence win big, it'll be hard to claim it's for any other reason - and the same for the parties against it.
And yet they keep getting richer. One of the reasons is what the tax income is spent on. For example military expenditure benefits primarily elites and high tech business not so much the general population.

Ask HN: Slack Rate Limit – Limited to a Workspace?
What I'm trying to understand is the rate limited restricted to a workspace? e.g., if two companies use an application, does that mean the application can send 1 message a second, regardless of the number of workspaces or is it 1 message a second for /each/ workspace?

I wonder how rate limits impact the growth of an application over time.

Why do you need one vendor? IMHO the Intel/AMD oligopoly (heavily tilted toward Intel) is one of the major problems with X86/X64.

ARM32 has "ARM hell" with multiple extensions but they've mostly fixed this in ARM64. You can definitely have compatible ABIs at the level users care about, namely application binaries.

Multiple vendors means price competition too.

IMHO the major stumbling block for ARM64 vs. X64 is that X64 has so much existing market share. Installed user-base is very powerful and everyone knows X64 will work so why take the chance? Hardware is cheaper than IT person-hours.

If someone fielded an X64-competitive ARM64 multi-core chip at a competitive price point it would probably get some traction.
Why does it matter if RT or Russia advertised for the US election? Doesn't the US notoriously have no restrictions on who and how much advertising can be done for elections? What's the difference between an American doing it vs a Russian?
I thought the article was pretty unbiased. It clearly states this is income taxes. They are quoting the OMB report word-for-word.

COBOL supports "includes" (called copybooks I think) which is poor-man's re-use but at least lets you avoid defining the same common record formats and subroutines individually in every program that needs them.
Capital gains is taxed well below the normal tax rate so it really does not add up to as much as you might think. "As a share of total federal revenue from all sources, capital gains taxes averaged about 4.2 percent from 1995 through 2009." https://pocketsense.com/percent-irs-revenue-comes-capital-ga...

Further, it's skipped when someone inherits money making death a massive tax break.

PS: 34% of federal revenue comes from payroll taxes which are very regressive, 47% from income taxes which include capital gains which are progressive. Net result a surprisingly flat effective tax rate.
Well we do if we don't want to shred a right enshrined in the Constitution which is, at least in my opinion, one of our best ideas.

That probably would have been the better move as far as "optics" are concerned, but the Spanish constitution states that this kind of referendum is illegal.

In any case -- I think the ruling party in Spain wanted this to flare up so they could consolidate political support during the next election, since most of Spain is adamantly opposed to Catalan independence.

Among King's lovers was Georgia Davis Powers, first black senator of Kentucky, who wrote about their affair. According to her for instance she slept with him the night before he was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel. She was climbing into the ambulance to go with him until another individual reminded her of how inappropriate it would be. These are some pretty specific claims coming from a reputable source with 0 motivation to lie, that could be easily falsified.

The letter also mentions another lover by name and implies there was an attached audio recording of King with the classy phrasing, "Lend your sexually psychotic ear to the enclosure..." That audiotape is set to be publicly released in 2027. And then there is the bio of Ralph Abernathy, King's successor at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the man King described as "the best friend I have in the world." Within his bio he discussed King's (and his own) regular infidelities.
Social Security is an Income tax.

Pretending otherwise is biased.

You can’t reward people for not voting, that’s just utterly insane.
I keep reading this in international media. The Spanish government didn't declare the referendum illegal. It was the top court, which is independent from the government. The government ensures that the law is applied once that is decided.
That said, I think Spain should have held a referendum (by changing the constitution). Everything would have been much easier.

Well, if you were the Catalonian government and you wanted to push for independence, what would you do instead? Or are you saying that pushing for independence itself is a screw up?
Not only that, but they also pretend that it's some static 20%. Not true. I've been in both the top 1% and the bottom 10% in my mid-20s.

We're all in this together. Let's work hard to make it better for everyone and let's be happy to pay higher taxes when we're winning and let's be grateful that there is help when we're struggling. Let's let some have a nicer life if they're working really hard, but let's also make sure that we all get help when we need it.
Precisely stating your assumptions happens in a limited way in everyday mathematics, enough so that the project of finding the minimal set of assumptions for mathematical theories is a niche project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_mathematics. By everyday mathematics, I mean mathematics outside of set theory/logic/ foundations of mathematics.

Rather, what everyday mathematicians do is have a set of axioms that are "safe", and do not need discussion, along with other axioms that require explicit note. They then prove things relative to those axioms, make a limited effort to only use the "unsafe" axioms, and make no effort to restrict their use of safe axioms.

Mathematicians will typically describe their philosophy of mathematics as formalist, but it's arguable that everyday mathematicians act much more like Platonists with respect to ZFC.

Sure, but the question is, which population?

A referendum conventionally happens country wide, surveying a % of the whole population. Not in a self-selected population subset.

Otherwise there's this icky question of what subset, what "social unit", is allowed to claim independence? Spain? Catalunya only? Barcelona only? La Rambla? Jose down the street, as an individual, in his own referendum-of-one?

This ad-absurdum may sound extreme, but there's really no fundamental difference there. The government astutely identified this as a "slippery slope", with brute power as the primary differentiator in practice.
> it seems can either turn into a civil war

When only one of the sides have weapons, there can not be a civil war, only a genocide. I am convinced that there is a limit on the violations of Human Rights that Europe will be able to tolerate from a state member.
It also doesn’t help that his analysis leaves out the massive skew of income to the top 1% of that 20%. Obviously the middle quintile doesn’t pay much of the total pie, but that’s only because it’s share of income is so small to begin with.

If Catalonia somehow cedes from Spain/EC then there will probably be repercussions around Europe.

I was extremely surprised the other day to see a Welsh person who I'm acquainted with calling for civil war against the English. I sincerely hope there are not enough with such madness to make any thing viable in that respect, but the do seem to be substantial communities in other regions of the EC where things could kick off too.
With shows it's easier. With apps it's harder because it's now what usually gets discussed and tastes vary a great deal.
True, and this already happened in the last elections to the Catalan Parliament (Generalitat). But it's sad to fake referendums by hijacking elections, which exist for completely different reasons. This just mixes and confounds lots of different issues, and makes parliamentary elections meaningless.

The question of independence is complex enough that warrants a dedicated vote.

Why allow citizens to leave the country while we are at it. Lets just close all the borderds, never allow foreigners in, or locals out. That is the recipe for economic prosperity!

In 2014, the bottom 50 percent of taxpayers (those with AGIs below $38,173) earned 11.27 percent of total AGI. This group of taxpayers paid approximately $38 billion in taxes, or 2.75 percent of all income taxes in 2014.

In contrast, the top 1 percent of all taxpayers (taxpayers with AGIs of $465,626 and above) earned 20.58 percent of all AGI in 2014, but paid 39.48 percent of all federal income taxes.

---And yet 0% of the Top 1% were willing to trade incomes with the bottom 50% so they could pay less taxes....hum...

But the referendum was invalid because of the constitution, you can't ignore the constitution because you want, you need to change the constitution.
That's interesting, I was also in Barcelona last week and I saw slightly more Spanish flags than Catalan.

I think the real problem is that Spain have consistently blocked a peaceful referendum. I don't believe Catalonia would vote to leave in a fair vote, but I do feel that the repressive actions of the Kingdom of Spain on this matter are the kind of thing that could justify declaring independence unilaterally.
I had the same thought. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t expect it to turn into stories of crazy business ventures.
This was to be discussed while organizing the referendum. Sadly, the Spanish government refused to even consider the idea.
The trump and white house Facebook pages are full of bots writing stuff like below constantly, these aren't genuine human supporters:

Not true. It states that this kind of a referendum is invalid.
The headline and most of the article says "taxes" without the "income" qualifier. "Top 20% pay 95% of taxes." That's flat-out wrong.
In my opinion the referendum was not lawful because:
1- Was not legal, so the participation was low.
2- There were serious irregularities in the voting system.

I'm against the violence and I think that the independence of a region is something morally right, but I don't consider that the referendum 1-O legitimizes that the Govern of Catalunya declares the independence of Catalunya in an unilateral manner. I think the Catalan Govern is cheating in its own benefit.
Almost all of those graphics are needlessly difficult to understand.

You offer not a shred of evidence to back up your claim. Why would anyone believe it?
You can keep downvoting me for thinking differently from what is seen is media. No, I admit it, there was shameful violence that day. But there is also daily violence against those who think differently and don't support the nationalist and xenophobic ideas behind the independentist movements. Of course, that's not admitted openly.

> It took months to develop, has 0 test coverage, numerous bugs and doesn't work on edge or IE and isn't rendered on the server

This has nothing to do with React and everything to do with implementation. It does not take months to develop a dozen pages in React. React makes test coverage easier to write, works cross platform and supports server side rendering.

While I agree that using React everywhere is a dumb choice, so is ruling out a technology because your company implemented it horribly.
Yeah, but usually an integration test tells you what line it failed on, which gets you fairly close to knowing the exact reason it failed.

Yes, but the locals are also wealthier (albeit property owners).
The article frames it as some sort of debate in some sort of mathematical ruling body which doesn't exist. There is no authority that's going to decide that, "ok, V = ultimate L is the axiom we're going with, everyone has to accept it now."

If you're assuming ZFC, you typically don't say anything (although I personally like to explicitly point out if I need the axiom of choice.) There was no ruling body that decided, "ok, we're all using ZFC now." Earlier generations of mathematicians widely adopted it, and now it's just the default.

Fun fact! Some recently popular mathematics leaking into the realm of CS, category theory, is usually not phrased in the language of ZFC. Instead, category theory is easier to formulate in NBG set theory, which is equivalent to ZFC in the sense that a ZFC statement is provable in NBG if and only if it is provable in ZFC.

The advantages afforded by NBG are:

1. the ontology is bigger. NBG has classes and sets, ZFC just has sets, and

2. it is finitely axiomatizable!

Unlike what the linked article says, ZFC does NOT have finitely many axioms! ZFC has 7 axioms and 2 axiom schemas, which are sort of meta-axioms that each generate countably infinite axioms.

On the other hand, ZFC is a bit more explicit and hands on. It's easier to roll up your sleeves and just get elbows deep in sets, which is why it's favored more by actual set theorists and set-theoretic topologists.

> If they initially embraced the referendum they could have won

They could have also lost in that case. There has been a huge for-independance campaign spanning 20+ years and including indoctrination of former children that now can vote.

The last governments should not have ignored the problem, making instead an effort to provide objective information on what an independence entails. This is not something that you can level with a couple of months of "No" campaign.

My take on this is that we end up having to open a process to change the Constitution with an ensemble of unprepared politicians (on all sides of the table) that blocks the country for a couple of years (for reference, we have recently spent 18 months with a government in functions because we could not manage to vote the new president).

EDIT: It seems that some people didn't like "indoctrination". Ignore the word, my comment remains the same: education has been strongly focused on building a Catalan identity. It is not something that you level in a short term campaign. In Rajoy's shoes, this is something against his position.
Pardon my ignorance, but why would Russia support Catalan independence?
In the minds of the Spanish people of Catalonia the referendum was completely illegitimate, why would they vote in it?
The Cardiologist Betting His Lab-Grown Meat Startup Can Solve the Food Crisis
What I do not understand is how the EU can stand by and watch as one of its member countries limits citizen freedom? Anybody should be able to hold a vote on anything they like. You should not be able to declare a referendum "illegal" (it might turn out that the results have no legal standing, but that doesn't make the vote or the voting itself "illegal").

I am worried that the EU doesn't hold true to its core values.
> The greater good is less population or spreading out places of work so they aren't in the same location.

Why? It's clear that efficiency drops precipitously with increased latency, which increase with distance. Locality is thus critical to efficiency, not to mention resource distribution is far more efficient in denser areas.
