Alerts from some services which I manage are sent to a slack channel, as well as alerts/alarms from systems like datadog.

There exists a bot which will notify an on-call engineer to examine the channel, via a phone-call - This uses a custom scripting language to handle decisions and twilios API to trigger phone-calls.

(Hard to be on-call if you can't get woken up by things breaking; slack messages are too easy to ignore.)

I can certainly imagine having meaningful work that's the purpose of life, not just a source of funding for other activities. It's definitely not the case for many (probably most) people, but it is that way for some; there's probably a correlation with "high-status" jobs.

For the OP example of a doctor, it's quite plausible that their social and ethical goal in life is healing people and their home life is just there to support their work; instead of wanting to (for example) play golf and having to heal people for money to support that. Or for example, did Feynman work on physics in order to "live" or was that work a goal in itself?

It's not the same. Work requires you to finish. Just having a list of things is not the same. You get lazy, you shift to the next thing too early, etc.
Standard Model predicted massless neutrinos. That was demonstrated to be wrong.

Standard Model then implied neutrino mixing would be slight (based on quark mixing). That was also demonstrated to be incorrect.

Standard Model has no good reason to predict that protons are stable, yet so far they apparently are.

> Or is Catalonia trying to break from both Spain and the EU?

Afaics, they’re not trying to break away from the EU (which wouldn’t make any sense economically), but that may be an unintended side effect. Spain would have to agree to opening talks between a new sovereign country and the eu. I just can’t see that happen.
Wikipedia and this BBC article cover the background behind the movement and the potential relationship between an independent Catalonia and the EU (in particular, Spain as an EU member would need to agree to Catalonia entering the EU)

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_independence_movement

- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-41474674
IIRC they are one of the richer parts of Spain, which is why their move for independence has been likened to that of the late Lega Nord in Italy.
The comment above about our Gov doing fucked up things could be more on point.

But we do a lot of interesting things, often without the fanfare you see in the SV bubble that's worth talking about.
You're right that the article is lacking. I suspect the idea is to have digital infrastructure out of legal reach of the Spanish government - then that's your foundation for the physical changes.
>Or is Catalonia trying to break from both Spain and the EU?

I believe the plan is to enter the EU after breaking from Spain.
Ha! I was just thinking this exact thing last night. There's lots of examples, but the one I experienced was searching for info about a product I am thinking about buying. Nothing but stores and marketing on the first couple pages. Tacking on review to the search brought up nothing but marketing copy and fake blogs from the various retailers. Tacked Reddit onto it and finally found people's actual thoughts and experiences. It's a damn shame and I suspect only a matter of time before Reddit is overwhelmed as well.
We may identify potential contributors and give relative rankings at least though. Although it is fuzzy we are pretty certain that it isn't because of say changes in underwear technology.

I suspect tenure may be a bigger factor personally - especially for those whose careers are mainly academic instead of industry where they can always leave for greener pastures if they get fed up with it.

There are toxic incentives to try to tear down rivals under any pretense so that sort of sniping may easily get embedded in the culture. It is just a theory of course.
It's not about where the data are, but which organization is hosting them and for what purpose.

If one wanted to make a "digital freedonia" they could start a service called "freedonia citizens registry" for example, and have people register there, coordinate, talk, etc -- whether the server was in Japan or Argentina or California wouldn't matter much for those purposes...

The "host outside" part is so that the Spanish government can't just get access to it or storm the datacenter.

Otherwise the location is not important as to the purpose.

It would also enhance gridlock within various EU bodies and structures that require unanimous approval of all member states. (One of the issues they've had to manage with the several Brexit extensions is how to make sure the UK doesn't make it impossible for EU institutions to run by deciding to veto things.)

It's best for the EU to not have two member states with a major, fundamental dispute about sovereignty.

And of course, due to the aforementioned rules about unanimity, if Catalonia were to obtain independence their admission to the EU would be entirely dependent on Spain's acquiescence.
He has not disagreed with a single thing. The only difference he wants to make is to have his political career on track.

i can do that very well thank you, i just don't have the time budget. i also don't have time to spend on deciphering the problem from a description from even a well-spoken user if a single screenshot would be self-explanatory.

of course it's useful to be able to describe the problem, but most of the time there's no ROI and opportunity cost is prohibitive.
Well we don't really have words to describe plant behavior. I agree, we can't view plants through an animalian lense, but at the same time we have to use the words we have to discuss them. I think it's fair to say plant "panic" is different than animal "panic" but from what I read, panic seems to be the closest analogue.

My theory is that some people has an innate ability to be happy without spending much money. They don't travel much and don't eat expensive food ... and that's just fine for them.

On the other hand, some (most?) people NEED lots of money to be happy. Their nerve systems are just low-efficiency in terms of how it is capable of converting a chunk of money into happiness.
Presumably they d need a way to verifiably conduct elections online. If they could show that they were fair and inclusive, i think it s fair to say that the people have spoken and ancillary constitutional contracts don’t last forever

> Or is Catalonia trying to break from both Spain and the EU?

Short answer: no, just from Spain.

Long answer: while the biggest part of the movement is pro-Europe there are voices from the left-most & anti-capitalist part which are against EU because they see as an union that put money first instead of people. But as said, they are a minority among the independentists.
But it was their choice to enter into the contract in the first place. When someone delegates part of their job to someone else (in this case distribution to the publisher), that doesn’t absolve them of responsibility for the end result— choose your partners wisely, because their choices will reflect on you.
Only if it was sufficiently detrimental, and did not arise as a byproduct of other, evolutionarily beneficial changes.

If it had "disappeared in humans a long time ago" then that still implies a time when it existed. And if it could have existed, it could exist now.
Surprisingly Julia. I work in academia (doing PhD in physics) so I'm free to choose tools. I find it to be great also for some side data science projects and general scripting. I was going to learn R and use some but decided that i can call them when necessary and so far it wasn't, so why bother with other languages.

I taught some Python but also moved it to Julia (optimization method course).

However, there is also some legacy code in (free-format) Fortran and Mathematica/Wolfram Language that i work with so i also use these.
At least some Catalan separatists feel Spain is denying them their own culture and forcing Spanish culture on them. Bull fighting, for example, is something Catalonia banned at some point, after which Madrid wanted to overturn the ban because they considered bull fighting Spanish cultural heritage.

I would've thought more countries = easier to unite Europe. Each country has more of an incentive to be united and less of an ability to separated if there's many small independent countries.

Someone wants to have a European Civil Code, and they say "but I already know the rules to trade with 30 million people". When you cut up the countries, they say "but if I want to trade with someone an hour's drive away, the rules are different - it's better to unify".

There's more boundaries where rules change, so there's more motivation to smoothe them out.

There's less power for each individual government, because their voice is 1 in 60 instead of 1 in 28. You'll quickly come to an understanding that the rules of European decision making have to be standard federal rules, rather than some compromise between federal and international rules.

The motivation for European integrationists is absolutely and solely for Catalonia and other places to become direct members of Europe.

Why do they deserve massive power? That was not constitutionally mandated, it is local, state, and national politics related to drugs and motor traffic that seems to have given cops now more violence and also more ubiquity. What if police didn't have outsized reactions to recreational drug use or minor non violent offenses? What if they weren't getting their revenue from seizing assets and catching motorists for arbitrary speed tickets?

Intel ME could have been used as a backdoor in a circumstance where they knew it wouldn't be analyzed, but that is a small percentage of jobs. Really only when you know a JDAM is coming through the roof soon after, or it's a no fail type of mission, i.e. taking over NK ground control during a missile launch. It isn't going to be wasted trying to hack the Kremlin, where everything gets logged.

For baseband chips, I haven't heard of Qualcomm having these types of interfaces at all. Fleet management happens via MDM at the iOS/Android level. I don't think NSA would be able to coerce Qualcomm to introduce a huge feature like ME in secret, and besides that isn't their MO, there would be a standards process etc. I really don't think something like that could be kept completely under wraps, and then as soon as you used it once it would be burnt.

No - the GDPR regulates transfers of EU citizen data outside of the EU, but it by no means prohibits it.

Just Spain not EU.

It's the typical second biggest city not having internal relevance compared to the capital even though it's as good, together with the common claim of everything happens in the capital, decisions are there, most money stays there, etc.

Also, it's slightly different culture, language, etc. And around WW2 time, there was an actual civil war.

Discontent keeps happening, catalonian patriots gets in power, central government remembers that constitution prohibits secession, they do a referendum anyway, (90% win for getting out), get arrested/exiled, with draws bigger attention to the cause, Streisand effect and all that.

Spain issn't really an united nation, you have actual separatist terrorists in Basque (which have a peace treaty recently), the new separatists of Catalonia, Andaluzia has seen the rise of dissidents as well. Add to the fact that some regions actually have their own language.

I remember one time while crossing the border by car, seeing a tourist information sign vandalized because in was written in Castillan (language of the capital, main "spanish" language). Beneath all the vandalous paint, was a sentence: "speak the <local-language>". And this was not in one of those more dissindent regions. Later I got into the city, and every sign was in multiple languages

> All the dynamics are different and easier at smaller scales.

Are you sure about this part? (not rhetoric). Non-linear scaling of surface and volume are simple to understand, but dynamics doesn't look so straight forward to me... in my short lived experience trying to fly very small model helicopters, it was clear that the smaller they are the more unstable they were. I wasn't sure how much of this was due to limitations in human reaction time and how much was inherent aerodynamic instability at smaller scales.

In these rocket models the human limitation is clearly removed, the remaining dynamics look faster at least which may or may not run up against higher frequency sensor data and processing requirements... are there other dynamics i'm missing? i guess materials don't bend much at this scale?

UI frameworks that expose a findViewById function could be considered anti patterns in the first place. For a declarative view the dependency should go the other way around with the view reactivelly accessing the viewmodel, instead of (accidentally) embedding UI boilerplate in your business logic. To react on UI changes in your logic you can add listeners to changes made on the viewmodel.
See jQuery vs react/angular/vue for best example of the difference.

Android Jetpack also tries to bridge the gap of this in android, even though here you manually have to write some glue code yourself to create this reactive layer.

I don't believe there's such a thing. But that's because airline companies don't have to pay for their externalities.
If moving stuff through the air would be cheaper than moving it by sea (fuel costs are a major part of shipping costs), then everything would be shipped by air. This is not the case; sea is the default, and air is premium.

Intuitively it makes sense that moving things through air requires more fuel than moving it by sea, since the airplane has to use fuel to offset its lack of buoyancy, while a ship only has to expend energy to actually move.

Compatibility.

Password managers have to be compatible with the reality of how passwords are used/ abused by site owners. When my preferred electricity supplier was bought by Shell (as part of an exercise in greenwashing the huge fossil fuel company) they rebranded and all their URLs changed overnight. My passwords still worked - but on these new URLs. This looks _exactly_ like a phishing attack, except for the huge advertising spend on a cynical rebranding exercise.

If you sell a password manager that fails in this scenario you're getting customer feedback saying this product doesn't work, fix it. How can you fix it? Add an override, destroy the security value of the product.

But WebAuthn comes out of the box enforcing this rule that the FQDN can't change. When Shell buys the electricity company and says "All your sites need to change" if they used WebAuthn the developer says "I tried that and it breaks login for all customers". "Tell them to override it, put up a banner saying so". "There is no override"... "OK, put the old site back". Done. Users saved from security lapses caused by corporate rebranding.

The WebAuthn people put a bunch of effort into thinking about evil things that can go wrong and defending against them. Having a clean slate to start from helped enormously.
There are many alleged reasons why some people from Catalonia want to secede from Spain. They all probably boil down to the perspective that they are a "rich" region and they will do better on their own. Similar to Brexit. Probably, same wrong perspective.

Irrespective of this, Spanish Constitution has a very strong enforcement of Spain's sovereignty and unity. It belongs to all Spanish people. So if that is to be altered --i.e., any region wants to secede-- is a decision that must involve every Spanish citizen. So in order to proceed, either everybody needs to participate in such a decision, or the Constitution needs to be amended. The separatists do not want to proceed either way, so they are trying to do it "unilaterally". That's against the Constitution, and the State needs to protect itself from that.

Anyway, if Catalonia would eventually and legally secede from Spain, it will be automatically out of the EU. And in order to gain access to the EU, it would need to apply and be approved unanimously by every EU country. In other words, Spain may veto that.

My opinion: it's shooting yourself on the feet. I believe they never intended to secede, they were just pushing this road hard to negotiate better financing and money for Catalonia. They have been doing this for many decades. But this time they took it too far, lost control of it, and now they don't know how to back track it.
Fascinating read! I would love to read an HN discussion of that article with people more knowledgable than me to get a feeling of how accurate it is.
Yeah... when I've had to be extra critical and picky about proposals and implementation at work for a prolonged period, it tends to wash over into my attitude to a lot of stuff in life. I know that sometime when I'm like this I can be a little ... difficult, because I shoot down ideas and pick holes all over the place.
