You summed it up really well.

I think the issue lies in that those central governments have become more tame over time, while Spain hasn't. They were largely united under a dictator where, in the very recent past, it was illegal for Catalans to teach their language or even speak it publicly.

Spain realizes the fragility of their position, and they're choosing to lash out in the same way Franco would have.

Compared to San Mateo (city), Palo Alto, Brisbane is a speck of land. South City, Daly City have lots of underused land. I would be in favor of having all of them increase housing, as they have land and transit infra.

I call out SF for its/our blatant hypocrisy. It's a bona fide city but they/we act as if we're still in the late 1800s Victorian times. Oh, historic, oh, views, oh, character, oh residential displacement. Always some provincial excuse.

Don't worry. Programming is becoming a blue collar job.

Being an "electrician" in 1880 was a big deal, the high technology job of its day. By 1920 it was a union blue collar job. That's programming.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
I use both Vagrant and docker for local Dev work. I've found that we have far less problems with the vagrant box (we link a bunch of projects into a single box to save RAM) than the docker compose setup. We're now looking into a minikube + rkt option, since it's docker daemon itself, not the compose part that makes it painful. Hopefully we can find that sweet spot between working nicely and resource preservation that we want.
> It's not the sunk cost fallacy even if the benefit of completion only justified the additional $1 cost; the $10 already spent is irrelevant, since if you choose not to finish, you don't get it back, it's only the sunk cost fallacy if you are treating the cost already spent as a loss of not proceeding.

Fair point, I should've said if the total benefit of completing the project is larger than the marginal cost ($1) of completing the project.

> You sort of did the opposite fallacy, where instead of treating the sunk cost as a loss if you don't proceed, you counted it as a loss if you do. But the sunk cost is neither.

Just to be clear, if the total benefit from completing the project is something like $0.50, choosing to spend the $1 to complete the project is an example of the sunk cost fallacy.
It's not possible to do this purely client side (how could it be? If the client can compute it on their own then they can forge it on their own), so a server/protocol modification is inevitable.

I'm think what you're saying with "offer very tiny signed messages instead" is that you think TLS is the wrong protocol layer to solve this problem at. Maybe so, but I feel like (a) that charge could be levied at TLS itself too (why not just do encryption at the application layer?) and (b) putting it into TLS means that perhaps eventually most of the web would support it.

I also wanted to draw attention to the rather clever way they allow the client to selectively redact sensitive information without losing the non-repudation property by computing a Merkle tree over the content. It's pretty neat:

> Our design is based on content extraction signatures and thereby allows the generation of non-interactive proofs based on the signed evidence provided by the generator (typically the server). During proof creation the requester can hide certain parts of the original conversation, but this will clearly visible in the proof. All the non-hidden parts are verifiable, no matter how many parts are hidden. To achieve these properties we generate commitments and aggregate them in Merkle trees for every TLS record. This allows efficient hiding of information. The hiding granularity is determined by the chunk size, which is negotiated during the TLS handshake. A smaller chunk size provides more precision while a bigger chunk size is more computationally efficient.
Ask HN: Is Signal down?
Heh... You kinda prove my point for me.

If you could step up to the board and actually expand the ... for us, we'd be much obliged.

You can keep writing 9 forever and you will never reach a whole number. But, it does reach a whole number and there is proof! So, they made a rule. The rule is, of course, silly. Infinity itself is silly. Not even atoms are infinite. Not even atoms can be infinity divisible.

It's a horrible idea, really. (I have karma to burn.)

By the way, it's a damned good thing infinity doesnt exist. If you had a tape measure that was infinitely long and folded it in half, we aren't really sure what would happen.

Hell, I wasn't using that karma for anything better.

While I'm here... When you're done finding an infinite tape measure, I'd like it if you could bring me -1 apple. No, not a slip of paper representing an owed apple, but -1 apple.

Math and reality are only loosely coupled. Mathematics is a language. It can tell lies. 1 + 1 = 74 See? That's pretty obviously a lie. It can tell stories, physicists are pretty fond of using it for that. It can be so very descriptive and elegant. It can be so deceptive, as we see with the 'well, let's just let that be represented by 9/10' silliness.

It's pretty horrible, really. Like I said, it's best not to think about it too much. It's kind of contrived in a few areas.
I suspect your usage of the term is much more common in India (and possibly other nations outside the US).

I'm really curious as to whether this difference in interpretation is just a linguistic fluke, or if it actually reflects some larger cultural difference in how we in the US view our government compared to how people in India and Spain view theirs.

Do you have a different word which encompasses all governmental bodies and organizations? The State, perhaps? Or would you not consider the courts to be part of the State either? Obviously the courts are involved in governing, since they interpret the law and they have legal authority granted by the constitution. How then are they not part of the government?

During the last couple of months I have been following this situation very closely, reading a lot of history, reports and even the Spanish constitution, but I'm obviously not an expert, so please feel free to correct me if there are any mistakes here:

1) What I understood from reading various sources is that Catalonia was completely independent between the years 987 (death of Louis V of France) and 1137 (Marriage of Ramon Berenguer IV and Petronila of Aragon) [1][2]. Although in my opinion that is not relevant for the current independence movement.

2) The act of voting is not illegal: there is no single article in the Spanish Constitution of 1978 that prohibits citizens to vote something specific. The Catalan independence referendum though was, of course, unauthorized (referendums requires the participation of the King, the PM, and the Congress [3]). I wanted to point out that this idea of voting as something "illegal because of the content of the referendum" probably originates from the Spanish newspaper El Pais, with articles like "Mitos y falsedades del independentismo" which is full of false citations of the constitution (check for instance the articles cited in the paragraph starting with "Además, la ley del referéndum es ilegal por su contenido [...]").

3) This is a valid point actually, although it would be fair also add that the Gurdia Civil, the National Police, and at some level the Mossos d'Esquadra, did everything they could (including violence in some cases) to stop people voting in this referendum.

4) Catalonia have a budget surplus [4], so I would argue that what "they" want is to contribute less.

5) Do you mean because of things like the Fueros of Pais Vasco and the Reino de Navarra? In any case, as you probably know, not everybody in Euskal Herria wanted/wants to coexist with the Spaniard state... I wouldn't be surprised if after Catalunya some other autonomic regions look for independence too.

6) True. The institutional situation in the Generalitat and Parlament is chaotic and unfortunate, and from what I heard from friends even most independentistas think so.

7) Well, this is a very opinionated point. If any generalization can be made about what "the world cannot understand" is why did the Spanish government handle this situation so poorly.

8) I personally agree with you that elections are necessary, but that will not solve the issue: the Catalans and the rest of Spain needs to know what every part wants and then start building some solution from there. And a review of the Constitution of 1978 would be useful too.

Then it sucks to be them. You can't blame everyone else for making a decision when you refuse to voice your opinion on said decision.
I think this goes without saying but... if you're a software developer, there's never been a better time to find a new job, at a different company.
It's interesting that the same technologies we use to preserve language (audio/film/text) are also largely the reason for their destruction. If you just have two people talking with each other in the woods there aren't any economies of scale, no 'best' version of Wikipedia, no Hollywood movies to watch, etc.

Those I named, had by far the majority of the european people in them.
And what is your point linking to current european states, when were speaking of historic europe?

And that not all the people them were happy patriots, sure - thats common in empires. (and I don't like empires btw.) But the ordinary person was pretty much pro empire at that time. And that meant also conquering and ruling other nations and people.
They were right. Retina displays aren’t even the high PPI ones anymore. They are the equivalent of second generation laser printers.
That train left more than 10 years ago, and nobody noticed. The applications you were using during these years used a local mechanism (MIT-SHM, DRI, etc) to transfer buffers between the application and X server. If you try to force them to use a socket (you know, to emulate a really fast network), you would not be satisfied with the user experience.

So basically, nobody noticed, because nobody is using it in this scenario. That occasional remote dbca session doesn't count ;)

Edit to clarify - more a technical pondering than a solution to anything
this ability to change from functioning as a bit of memory to being a bunch of functional logic on the fly at the speed of a memory read? That's going to be crazy. It will open up possibilities that we probably can't even imagine right now.

There might be clever ways to make a particular circuit dual purpose or something (Storage element that can do math on itself? A math pipeline that doesn't need pipeline flops?)

But arbitrary reprogrammability is already here. It's called an FPGA, and it sees only niche use, not in the least because developing a bitstream to program it with is a huge chunk of work. So the days of a chip that constantly morphs like a chameleon to unrecognizable new forms is probably a long way in the future.

I like to remind myself the industry is called VLSI- very large scale integration. In other words, the job is not about transistors. More than anything else, it's about managing the complexity of billions of transistors. Digital CMOS is a great example; transistors can already do so much more than CMOS, but it's a massively simplifying design scheme.
Mass transit in America is terrible, period (outside of maybe Manhattan, despite the fact that our subway has been getting worse and is in dire need of upgrading). America sucks at mass transit, but for whatever reason Americans don't seem to care. I think it's because they're complacent, don't know any better, and have this toxic "everybody for themselves" mentality that makes it impossible to improve anything that's in the general public welfare.

Get a copy of the book "Getting to Yes." It's a quick read and should help you figure out how to approach him.

My guess is that since he is "salesy," he is the kind of person who values social capital and he thinks the way to get your respect is to prove he is good at code. One of the takeaways from negotiating studies is that value lies in your differences. If you were both good at the same thing, you wouldn't really need him as a cofounder.

So, maybe get better at praising him for the things he is good at and making him feel like you are awed by the things he can do that you can't.

Also, you need to make sure he understands the product better. His lack of understanding of the product is a serious issue, even if you can get him to stay out of the code base.

Do try to approach this diplomatically, but also recognize that this is a make or break moment. Either the two of you will hash this out and your ability to communicate and your trust in each other will grow, making the company better in every way, or it will break you two up. And it is better to lose him early so you can go find someone else than to keep this limping along out of fear that any confrontation will be a dealbreaker.

Cofounders need to be able to hash things out in a serious way. This is one of the reasons it gets compared a lot to marriage. If you can't "fight it out" so to speak and come up with a real solution, the two of you do not have what it takes to grow a company together. (You should try hard to not be too fighty about this, but you also need to make sure you aren't erring on the side of being too much of a conflict avoider. That is actually worse.)

I only hope the "Sputnik Moment" comes before we give away control of the next major economic sector that technology creates.
To me, it doesn't matter. If the Catalan government doesn't have freedom to create their own laws, and all the money goes through the main government, it matters very little who do those 95% people work for.
Quantum computers require both very specific configuration for each problem, and cryogenic cooling. Both of those issues mean there's no reason to suspect they will find more than use as a daughtercard any time soon. Memristors, on the other hand, could replace CPUs, RAM, SSDs, bulk storage, FPGAs with one consistent lattice, a totally unified memory architecture, and an economy of scale that I don't believe has ever existed before.

And that's BEFORE you do any of the exotic research of moving the computing elements around during operation. Just imagine if there was no memory hierarchy, where accessing a byte in mass storage is as fast and as easy as accessing a register. Quantum computers can't replace commodity hardware and there's no reason to think they will. Memristors, on the other hand, are one of the fundamental circuit elements and are destined to become as widespread as resistors, capacitors, and transistors.
Wow, that is remarkable. Do you know where to find more info?
Is your decision mainly based on type-safety? We converted all of our nodejs to typescript primarily for easier refactoring,

Hey spicyj!

I'd love to sit and talk React with you and your team. We're always particularly interested in performance optimizations so maybe we can swap some knowledge.

Not aware of any team that is actively avoiding React but we're a fairly prolific bunch when it comes to public speaking and knowledge sharing so perhaps I missed some announcement from another UI team.

China was kind of domineering, but on a global historic scale they could be considered somewhat non-violent. They even got invaded twice while being the top economic power of their time. There are quite a few aspects I don't like about China, but warmongers, they are not.

If anything, the modern era should be a boon to them, since developed countries are virtually conquerable at a certain scale, via modern technology instantly turning that industrial base into a top tier military, if needed, and via the usually strong alliances provided by strong trade relations.

I actually believe China can be a peaceful #1, provided they can be stopped from bullying their neighbors and Africa when the latest political scandal demands a distraction (à la Clinton - Kosovo).

I'm also dubious. My first impression of the render is, where do the brakes go?

A car can go without brakes in the rear, but front brakes are crucial in the front. This is specially true in emergency situations. I doubt an electric motor can provide enough braking power to stop any car at highway speeds in the distance required by most countries
Why do you call ‘nationalists’ and ‘right-wing movements’ abstractions?
It would need to actually exist first. A hovering drone is not exactly a taxi service.
Countries will support the likely winner, or more specifically, whichever choice is advantageous to their national interests.

When Turkey's coup took place, for example, Western countries absolutely wanted Erdogan gone and Ataturk's values restored. It wasn't until the coup had clearly failed that the vast majority of countries expressed support for Erdogan and his regime.

Who supports who doesn't confer any moral validity to a people's right to democracy and independence, though I understand if you mean the practical advantages of support.

Either way, we may quickly see these international attitudes change as events progress, especially if Spain takes away autonomy in Catalonia.
And by far the least substantiated and most insulting comment in many threads is you saying "flame" and "flamebait" all the time. This term does not have a very good definition. It's very hard for anyone to know what exactly it is that you're trying to regulate when you use such a vague and condescending colloquialism. And you do it in like half of your posts.
Success isn't really measured by the lack of negative outcomes but more like the sum of all outcomes, both negative and positive.

If we were to look at only the lack of negative outcomes, a "company" that has 14 users that like the service would be a greater success than, e.g. Facebook, which isn't really how we use the "success" in conversation.
