I won't define it as terrorism, but if you are in the Police and you really have no other legal tool, what do you do? If the boundary is fuzzy enough, they're gonna push for it.

In the end they'll probably have a hard time proving that to a judge, but as a temporary measure they probably think it's useful.

Virtually eliminating pedestrian fatalities could be quite simple, but we don't do it because it would inconvenience people: Set a 30 km/h (18 mph) speed limit everywhere but controlled-access freeways, and enforce it strictly. At 30km/h a car-pedestrian collision is almost always non-fatal[1], and at that speed cars can stop almost instantaneously.

Yes the analogy is perfectly sound. Spain one of the countries with the highest score in index of democracy, with a recent constitution, with separation of power is completely the same as the plutocracy born of the post soviet collapse of russia and the authoritarian pooh regime of china.
> Given that a large part of a country wants secession, isn't it only democratic to vote on it?

They did vote for it, and pro-independence political parties failed to win the popular vote in the last democratic election of catalonia in 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Catalan_regional_election

That is, there is no majority of voters in Catalonia that want independence, according to the last election.

Failing to win the popular vote, all independence parties left any ideological differences aside and united forces to obtain majority in the parliament, using that majority to push for an illegal referendum that most of the population in Catalonia didn't took seriously. They then tried to used the results of the illegal referendum, where mostly only those citizens pro-independence went to vote to try to push for independence, ignoring the will of the 53% of the voters that voted against them in the last democratic election.

All in all, a pretty good shit-show, that has resulted in a couple of politicians accused of treason and in jail or in exile.

IMO the worst parts of this are that (1) ~50% of the population has a different opinion than the other 50%, and they will need to manage to live together independently of how things turn out, and (2) Catalonia's politicians do not care about their constituents, and only appear to care about those constituents that voted for them. I personally think that's pretty shameful, and don't have any respect for any of the politicians on either side.

This was my thought as well. Nothing like a crisis to spur invention. I did the math on a power wall. It’s too expensive to be feasible. Two units with installation cost $20K. That doesn’t include the solar panels required to keep it charged. You can get a gas generator with similar capacity for $5K. Not to mention gas is typically readily available.
> It was so easy to understand that every person who was able to use a computer would pick it up quickly.

I find this hard to believe. I know many people who use computers but are not IT professionals or even hobbyists. Without an easy to use GUI they can't accomplish much. I couldn't imagine them picking up anything to do with XML.

If you scope it down to UI developers you're taking less than 1% of people. Far from everyone. Even if you scope it down to IT people it's less than 1% of people.

I feel that the demand is so large that limiting supply isn't enough in this case.

The agencies are willing to invest far more in 'breaking computer security' than in 'finding lethal injection drugs for people who are anyway in custody' . 'Breaking security' is a priority to them in the way 'finding lethal drugs' never was.

That does not get NSO Group off the hook, they did agree to work with SA in the first place - but I suspect we'll just discover there are other outfits (and inhouse talent) out there, and that lasting change requires looking also at the demand and infrastructure sides.

Same here. I used various other distributions for years until arriving here.

1. Suse Linux: don't know what version but it worked and broke my windows partition somehow (think it was a user error).

2. Debian: very stable but not cutting edge enough for my taste. I damaged it trying to get compiz fusion and all the wonderful 3d-FX to run on my desktop.

3. Ubuntu / Mint: more up-to-date than Debian plus some nice sane default etc. to just start working very quickly. Also a big community and some good ideas.

4. Manjaro (finally :D): even more up-to-date than Ubuntu plus AUR's! I love the way I can install software on this OS compared to Debian-derivatives. So far it's not much more work to maintain it than it was for my Mint/Ubuntu setup.

I installed Manjaro alongside macOS (high sierra) on my MBP 2012 to get the best of both worlds.

It pretty much works and I also don't have problems with hibernation as the author of the article describes. BUT I'm afraid my WiFi is not working as good on Linux as it does on macOS and also connecting my speaker via BT isn't working as expected - the sound is choppy and I'll need to fix it when I find some time.

I can confirm the problem with the clipboards, the key-mappings and also Snaps. This is something they did quite right on the Apple side and I hope enough people of the active Linux community will implement this consistency some time, too.

The problems with the keyboard maybe stem from too many choices how to set the layout. I was given the choice between 3 or 4 layouts without being sure which one to choose.

Now I can choose what OS to use depending on the task:

- Linux: Development (things like docker just work which is really nice), Mail (thunderbird is ugly but it can handle a lot more than Apple Mail which becomes unusable after some time), Security-related things (I trust my Linux more than macOS somehow)

- Mac: Office (especially when working with PDF but also compare Pages to LibreOffice which tries to resemble M$ office too much for my taste), Graphics (for me Gimp is no viable alternative to Photoshop; the GUI alone brings me into rage-mode), Day-to-day "tasks" (browsing, media etc. just work better on macOS)

That's not true. The Almohads, unlike the almoravids, forced christian and jews to convert, under threat of death.
The Daily (the Times podcast) did an episode[1] this week on vaping and the death discussed in that story does not sound like it was related to black market THC. The majority of cases do seem to be THC related, but I don't think its clear yet that they all are.

Supply and demand is as close as a 'law of nature' as can be. It is natural human behaviour.

Price controls do not work and are actually damaging because instead of trying to balance supply and demand they make the imbalance even worse. They do not remove the pressure of supply and demand, which continues to be at play.
I don't think anyone is trying to disqualify DNNs. I think the difference might be an abstraction for a neuron vs an abstraction for the brain. Success or value doesn't necessarily equate to "human-like." The paper seems naive to, or ignore, prominent, long-running/standing related research that provides a stronger foundation and as far as I can tell includes what they propose. So, at least for me, I'm not sure what the contribution is.
>My gf and I flew between two tiny airports in Costa Rica a couple of years back, a Sansa operated 13 seat Cessna. As we went inland and over forests and volcano we became enveloped by dark clouds, battered by rain. No lightning, but we were jolted up, down, left and right repeatedly. Meanwhile the two crew thought nothing of it, in fact one of them appeared to just be merrily using Snapchat throughout.

Flying back to IND from SFO mid last year we were in some really rough weather (hands down the worst turbulence I've ever experienced) for 20-25 minutes. It was bad enough reading was a futile attempt so I stowed my kindle in my bag and tried to get a nap, I'm sitting there 3/4 asleep with my chin on my chest and the lady across the aisle asks the lady next to me "oh my god, is he asleep or praying" at which point I looked up and said "I was trying to read but we're bouncing around too much so I thought I'd get a nap".

At that elevation, if the cabin was compromised we'd have all been unconscious in seconds and if we were just damaged enough to crash, I figured I'd worry about being scared as we started to fall out of the sky as worst case we'd have 1-2 minutes before we hit the ground.

The only time I get scared in a plane is take off, once the plane is doing about 3/4 of the speed it needs to, until maybe 5 seconds after the wheels leave the ground I'm absolutely terrified. I don't mind the steep climb, I don't mind the landing, but taking off scares me like nothing else climaxing when you feel the wheels leave the tarmac, my blood goes cold (and I'll even breakout in a cold sweat sometimes) every single time.

That fear has always been there too. The first time I ever flew was in a small 4-seat with my 5th grade teacher. He took all of us in his class up that Saturday that were in scouts and any of our dads that wanted to go. I was absolutely terrified once he started accelerating and losing it, within seconds of wheels off the ground I was like "Look over there! Look at that, wow look at the ground, oh man everything is getting so small, wow! Can you tilt the plane so we can see better?"

I must have been a rocket-sled dummy in a past life or something.

Well, good luck when your app gets flag by their bot, broken because the .new no longer works, and you can't get a hold of Google to remove you from their blacklist.

Just read all the horror stories about apps on Google Play.
The way I read it on the article, with punctuation, I don’t think it was necessarily intended like that? It’s in parentheses “Microsoft (GitHub)”. I don’t read Spanish fluently, though, so perhaps I’m not grasping it entirely. It felt like they were just adding context.
And yet, doesn't this violate the principle of self-determination? If the people of a region want to create a separate region, who is to tell them not to? Catalonia now needs the permission of the others to leave?

It seems as though the Spanish constitution was written for the primacy of a centralized state, rather than federated government down to the individual. I suppose the idea that sovereignty is effectively granted by the central state is a result thereof. Maybe reforming that would be a good first step.
What XML is also very good at is: representing tagged text, what is called "mixed content" in XML terminology.

Just try to write the JSON equivalent of:

Actually, my main point was that it could qualify. Attacks on critical infrastructure have been deemed as such, and the implied risk to human life makes this an even stronger possibility. If these things are actually happening, it's quite appropriate to bring them to light.

I’m not suggesting we deregulate the transmission grid. My point is that PG&E is heavily regulated, and the government should take responsibility for the consequences of its regulatory choices. For decades, PG&E submitted detailed rate cases to the CPUC saying; “here is what we plan to invest in, here is how much it will cost, and here is what rates will have to be to pay for it.” Given that PG&E would make more money by investing in safety upgrades, the only reason they wouldn’t have done it is because the CPUC pressured them to forgo such investments to keep rates low. (That’s a common concern for rate regulated monopolies: they have an incentive to “gold plate” the network because they make more money the more they spend.)

The PG&E model works well in the rest of the world. It’s how the electric grid works in the UK, and most of Germany. In France and Spain the electric grid is operated by a for profit corporation, albeit one where the government is a shareholder (majority stake in France, minority stake in Spain). Indeed, many people espouse using the same model for broadband in the US.

That proven model is not working in California because the politics is completely dysfunctional. There is zero accountability.
Programming and open source is a massive ecosystem of making use of prior art and incorporating diverse ideas to make alternative, better, or more robust abstractions. That's the whole beauty of it. Very few things are entirely new.

Then internal functionality can be attached to each element via attributes, like how aria roles work.
> That is, there is no majority of voters in Catalonia that want independence, according to the last election.

Constant glucose tracking is interesting, but completely unnecessary. EDIT - For most healthy individuals.

It's like my father-in-law who obsesses over vitamins while he ignores being ~40 pounds overweight - he needs to simply eat less & move more, not keep reading articles until he uncovers some magic combination of micronutrients.

Beef spikes insulin just as much as rice does. Acute insulin spikes are not bad, and can be very beneficial. Chronically elevated insulin is not good, but it's almost always simple to address that - just eat less, less often.

But people seem to prefer to focus on complicating easy things instead of consistently doing simple but difficult things.

Representing is easy task. You need to parse that representation. And XML here is worse than JSON for typical programming graphs. You can't express number or array with XML. XML Schema helps to add more structure, but JSON does not need that, array and numbers are built-in. And I would say, that XML Schema is too powerful and that's usually not needed by developers. JSON is just a fine medium, simple enough and powerful enough.

But when you deal with inherently hierarchical data, trees, XML is good.

Having worked with SOAP/XML extensively at my past job I can say for web services I much prefer REST/JSON. JSON is much easier to work with and key value pairs make it much easier to get what you need. Parsing an XML tree can become a nightmare very quickly.

> However, we’ve created another problem in the form of inconsistency: some user properties are represented as element attributes, others as child elements.

Exactly. I’ve seen XML with element attributes and child elements all over the pace. No rhyme or reason for any of it. It’s especially bad in older systems.

I pushed hard at my last job for the SOA team to build REST/JSON web services. Oracle sold them a product to bridge the gap and they got End Of Life announcements 6 months later! Glad I’m gone.
