> I'm interested in the mass psychology behind it, why Spain and their politicians think that it's a good idea to point out that the constitution of Spain and their unitarian aspects are untouchable.

I can give you my point of view as a Spanish person. I am not part of the goverment by any means. Just a normal citizen living in the middle of the country.

The infrastructure of catalunya (high speed trains, ports, highways, etc...) have been paid by all spaniards during many, many years. Like ways, may people from all over Spain live and work in catalunya and viceversa.

The goverment of Spain has a responsability to protect all citizens. Independece creates problems for all those people. It also costs the country millions of euros that have been invested in the region. It will have an impact on people across the country if the economy slows down, not only there. Therefore it is a decision that needs to be taken by the whole country, not only people in that region. Suggesting anything else is ludicrous.

Spain is a country, catalonya doesn't have the power to raise its middle finger to everyone else in the country whenever they please just like any other region in the country. We are one, period.

If the code in question were licensed under the AGPL, yes to all three, I would think.

If you modify AGPL code and redistribute it or offer its services over a network, you've created a derived work which is not solely 'your source code'. What you need to provide is the collective including the modifications.

You can avoid this by not using AGPL licensed code.
Would you ban private after-schools too? For example, my children attend Russian School of Math, which has branches around the country, especially in the Northeast. Chinese parents have created supplemental schools where Chinese language, English, art, contest math and other things are taught.

If you ban physical after-schools, do you then ban online classes such as the math classes offered by the Art of Problem Solving?

> There is no right to secede from a country

> legally speaking

I don't see how any of these things matter.

If there's no right, if there's no legal means, then wage war. Die trying.

I'm not suggesting I support either position, but pointing out that, ultimately, laws and opinions don't matter.
> sorting out car insurance quotes or booking flights/hotels

Due to the limitations of the medium, I think this actually used to be easier (if slower). You certainly didn’t get a different price if you were booking a minute later.
I guess, informally, people sometimes say exponential when they just mean "way too much" or "extreme".

Someone might say, for example, "The party was already getting out of hand, but then my roommate's drinking buddies showed up and that's when things got exponentially worse."
I think you just made a slippery slope argument against slippery slope arguments!!!
>nothing functionally wrong about the choice they made

Sure there is... The app would capture those as shortcuts instead of as user input. You know...exactly what's happening here. If this interferes with writing tweets also then that should be easy to figure out.

As I said above, I'm not saying it's not because of the regression but it's more likely to me that Twitter messed it up. Otherwise, why is no other app experiencing this issue if it was done "according to the docs".
I don’t know how many times I’ve been frustrated at my iphone for not having any way to undo.

Yet inconsistent indentation is a problem in wide practice. It doesn't take long to find popular open source projects that mix tabs and spaces in their indentation.

Of course, many people are going to be consistent with their casing even when using a case insensitive language, but it's nice to know that particular forms of bad style are never going to be an issue because particular rules of good style are enforced by the language.
What are you talking about? By far most teachers are women, by far. Something like 75% of all teachers are women [1]. If that's your plan, you've already succeeded... we're far from "having only men raise and teach every generation of men".

What about the inverse, isolating only the voice?
I don't believe that everyone who says this kind of thing is being paid to do so. What I think instead is that this kind of thing is invented by someone who is paid to make up these kind of misdirecting and memetic statements and that they then disseminate these kinds of messages on mediums like reddit where they know that they will propagate.

Another example of these kinds of statements would be "Elon Musk is like a real life Tony Stark." Do I think that every Elon fanboy is paid to say this online? No, of course not. Do I think that Elon Musk like many celebrities has a public image crafted by a PR firm and that this kind of jingo-istic soundbite probably originated from that firm? Absolutely.

I think they were replying to the "Everyone knows" part of the statement. That is, the first amendment only applies to use of government power, but many people don't actually know that.

See my other message in this thread for some examples (from today!) of people who think the first amendment is relevant when talking about private companies.
Absolutely. Anybody who's read Plutarch's Parallel Lives would be hard pressed to not have some degree of fascination with Sparta.
It seems to me that this group appellated the "Privileged Poor" - disadvantaged poor children who have graduated from the most elite private preparatory institutions in the nation - are an incredibly small group, perhaps 0.001% of students, and well below the noise floor of any sort of meaningful statistical analysis.

The other groups the article contends with, being the elite and the not elite, are much larger groups and more worthy of attention. The Privileged Poor do not need to be specially accommodated any more than any other group that is a tiny fraction of one percent of the relevant population.

Ah, I think that may be due to the patch submission structure of Phabricator more than anything else. I can understand why a major open source org wants to adopt something else that people have as muscle memory (ie. pull request style collaborating). I don't think that reflects the development of Phabricator at all, like I said, its become more robust and features are becoming more mature every week (and there's still some big installations out there, like Wikimedia).
Isn't video of putins predecessor with prostitutes part of his rise to power?
I am and that's why this is so surprising to me. No other app is reporting this type of behavior and Twitter is known for shitty Mac apps. I highly doubt that the regression could cause this unless it was done incorrectly to begin with. Otherwise, UIKit/AppKit would be doing the same for every other app. We may hear about that in the next day or two but, until that happens, I have a feeling this is all on Twitter.
I wonder what an Ethics Review Board would have to say about this...
But, why should he accept the power differential? A women with kids plus a former lover has more sexual / parental experience than this guy. It is weird to insist that men (or women for that matter) with less relationship experience want a partner with more. Most people want to discover their own relationship / sexual path with another person starting at the same point. I know my wife and I certainly did when we married.
Agreed, I think it's because developers like to over engineer everything and the managers like to over engineer the processes.

So many of these access excel solutions should be a days worth of work, simple perl cgi scripts with a minimalist UI deployed by rsync. Instead we have to use our super "productive" modern frameworks, split everything into a thousand files (god forbid you embed an sql query in the only place it's called), add unit tests, etc. There's certainly times for the later approach, but most businesses need much more of the former.

So because developers don't have a reasonable platform to pinch off random little projects others step in.

Java. There are no unsigned integers in Java. Many would consider that a benefit (although opinions vary on signed vs unsigned bytes). FWIW, the creators of C++ have stated that they'd go with signed integers for e.g. indexes in the library interfaces nowadays (but it's way too late to change that).

Popular problem with using unsigned : Write a reverse for loop from n (exclusive) to 0 (inclusive). See if you can do it without discarding your two most intuitive (but wrong) approaches.

Sharing pictures, which is what it was built for.

It's not a platform for long form discussions or sharing links (That's why you can't even use links except one in your bio and everyone saying "link in bio" if they want to share something. There's even dedicated companies working around these restrictions and providing redirection services etc.
That article is surprisingly poor for Wired.

Both Hirschfeld and Osborne first logged in to their accounts in February 2011, well before the first known IRA activity in 2013. WIRED’s analysis found at least 63 accounts created between 2009 and 2013 included in the list provided to Congress.

It's reasonably well known to anyone who's used the site that old accounts are fairly frequently hijacked by others, so this doesn't invalidate Twitter's claim.
Wow, I didn't know that John Ousterhout created TCL, come to think of it, I never thought about who was behind it.
> But if you simply look at ethnicity, it's obvious one territory had a greater influx of people.

Ignoring the implication that "white people" are somehow collectively more original in the US, why are we choosing some arbitrary distinctions of ethnicity particularly for this claim as these groups aren't even cleanly distinguishable by average wage?
100% people talk about the catalonya issue like they should just be able to break free without understanding the first thing about the issue.

The good news is that the social groups where both traditional masculinity and femininity are not looked down upon (typically conservative, religious folks, not necessarily any particular religion, either) will grow due to the higher birth and family stability rates. This will hopefully lead to better mental health for both men and women who are suffering under the current system.

School and your own curiosity will not prevent gaps. Other students seem to all possess 'cultural' references you don't. You sometime have to write down words you don't know to look them up later.

> The nation of Spain chose to specify the rights extended to its people through the constitution, and through specific laws. From that, Catalonians, as part of the Spanish nation and subject to its sovereignty for as long as they reside under its jurisdiction, stem the rights Catalonians have as people.

Interesting. I belong to a country where we think of ourselves as telling our rulers what our rights are -- deriving from God, some say -- and certainly not coming down to us from those rulers in any way. Sometimes we have to fight for these rights. It has been violent sometimes. Other times the process has been used. Some of our rights have yet to be asserted.

But try telling an American that George Washington and company gave us our rights, and you'll see who far that gets you. We love our country.

I hope that the people of Spain can love their country too.
Since I haven't seen anybody mention it yet, another old contender in this class was Lotus Notes/Domino. NoSQL before NoSQL was cool.

I worked with an ex-Lotus guy once, and he always raved about how easy it was to build out LOB apps with it and have a pretty capable little database in a single .nsf file.

IBM has washed their hands of it, but I know of a lot of big corporation, and especially militaries, that are still running applications on top of Notes.

Bots don't have a citizenship ("chinese", "russian"), they merely push the agenda of the person/persons who have paid the most, no? Are there not many hijacked computers, routers, devices inside the USA and many other countries which are one of the most important parts of the bot networks to evade detection?

I wonder if now that political advertising is banned on twitter if the illegal / immoral bot and human armies of agenda pushers will have a larger advantage than before now that those who follow the rules have lost their outlet of spreading their message with their donors money beyond their own profiles and their existing followers?
It's still not easy. Suppose I write a bot that flags all of my competitors ads a political?

This may be the kind of thought bubble that's not welcome on HN, but the Epstein situation of high-powered contacts, the decade-old non-prosecution agreement (for child-sex crimes!) and the various inconsistencies surrounding Epstein's death as described in the article, form a seriously twisted situation when combined with the political rhetoric around end-to-end encryption and societal surveillance in general.

Politicians chanting, essentially, "Think of the children", is phenomenally hypocritical when layered on top of the Epstein situation.

The US and Five Eyes world-spanning communications surveillance operations couldn't even get this guy jailed for child-sex crimes?! How much is it costing for this wholly-ineffectual-at-what-its-claimed-purpose-is infrastructure?

Great effort, and I applaud your efforts to try and come up with a solution in this very crowded space.

For me, simplicity in a CRM is not the factor that will make me pull out my wallet. After all, your current feature set I can already do using AirTable or even a Google Sheet.

The killer features I need, that will make me pay actual $ for would be:

* Ability to have multiple team members in my company share and update my list of contacts

* Ability to add contacts from other sources (e.g. directly from my Inbox, by cc'ing any correspondence to a special CRM address, or by photographing a business card).

* Ability to group contacts by company or conference etc. so I can contact them at once.

Basically, anything that eliminates data entry, and takes the pain out of manually creating a name, address, phone, email etc. Good luck with the build out of your feature set.

I don’t see how that claim makes any sense. As a criminal enterprise, no one knows the totality of money laundering approaches. This is the availability heuristic at work.
A company like Atlassian famously often had their first install at customers performed by employees on a rogue box under-the-table. Seems like it’s how one introduced software in the 2000s.

I wonder whether today’s equivalent could be made on Raspberry Pi. It requires a few tricks, but there is so much demand from managers who could afford paying 50€ out of pocket.

Of course, having a rogue box plugged to the internal network with a Wifi and Bluetooth chip on board is not IT-approved. Can it be bypassed?

You are right, the CRM space is really crowded. I am not trying to build the next Salesforce or next giant in the CRM space. I believe the reason why small businesses and freelancers struggle so much is because most CRMs out there do not ask them WHAT THEY NEED. My plan for Micro CRM is to build a simple product that will grow with my customers overtime.

Right now my main strategy is to manually promote to places like HN, IndieHackers, ProductHunt (Official ProductHunt launch is Monday Nov 4) and listen to what you guys have to say and what you guys need

> I think free college for everyone is a terrible idea. Most people consider that heresy.

Twitter is not a great reflection of real popularity. I highly doubt this is really that popular, especially when it comes to actually implementing and the real costs are considered.

It’s far easier to be hand wavy about this stuff in political campaigns than when it comes to policy and real life implications.

Especially given the highly questionable ROI we’ve seen with the large rise in people going to college and not finding work after. That plus the massive rise in tuition. This would have been way easier to pull off in the 70s than today.
This is the crux of it; inevitably, government institutions and individuals in important positions are perfectly capable of quietly trading favors and taking action off-books. And in the other direction, private citizens and groups can have pressure applied on them, directly or indirectly, by mechanisms of government.

I really like the idea of developing a modern Access alternative, but why are you trying to create a new language? Aren't QBE and SQL sufficient?

I once worked for an SEO agency and ended up quitting after 4 months. Everything about it went against my morals. I was disgusted with myself for pushing rubbish sites, snooping on peoples browsing behaviour, and working to squeeze every cent from it all through what I believed to be manipulative practices (despite it all being 'white hat')

Quitting that job was a major relief, though I'm haunted by the fact that there are thousands of other agencies and even more people willing to fill my previous role.
