Ok the catalans may be arrogant, but did something significantly change in recent years? Usually these bravado-led movements are a result of stagnant economy like in Italy.
I see it as the organizational abstraction of industry is an side-effect artifact of relative material scarcity, and a current, hopefully temporary condition in our species' evolution towards a future when advancing sciences becomes one of the major focal points of our endeavors, and the bulk of industry is largely automated away in the trail of a continuously-growing wavefront of advanced-and-advancing industry. Hopefully capitalism and industry will bootstrap us into that outcome, instead of mediocrely settling for a local maxima of extractive rentier structures. "Money is a sign of poverty", wrote Iain M. Banks, and I suspect the transition to that kind of wealth is an evolving continuum instead of an abrupt, sharp discontinuity.

They could have gone the legal route, and push to amend the constitution first.

Not doing so shows the manipulative/dishonest nature of the leaders.
Sounds a lot like some of the protests in Southern India regarding economic input vs tax money spent and language difference.

And a sibling comment mentioned bull fighting and funnily exact thing has been an issue between a southern Indian state, the central govt and the judiciary.

I agree with the use of force since the robber was armed, but in the end refusing any compensation is an awful choice that also sends the wrong message: next time make an attempt to trade with the robber but don't call the police.
Bull fighting was prohibited because it was originated in Spain (not the official reason though, just speculation). "Correbous" a very cruel sport as well, which it was originated in Catalunya, it's, in contrast, very much supported. So I'm not really sure it's two very different cultures.

I don't really see this comparison as being particularly useful. There isn't really a choice between DI or dynamic scoping, there's just a choice between application architectures, which is largely dictated by language.

The Closure example works because all your foreign symbols are coming from namespaced imports, which is to say you have a Module architecture and your only polymorphism lever is altering the namespace mapping to point to an equivalent module.

With Java and the like you have a Service architecture, so rather than importing symbols you're injecting services. Things that would otherwise be exported as bare functions tend to be written as classes so that they can be used as services.

While some languages can support either (i.e. JS is typically modular but there are things like Bottle if you want to write JS in a service-based way), it's not typical that a given application is going to support either simultaneously. Most languages have a clear idiomatic choice that you're likely not going to want to stray from to avoid headaches integrating 3rd party dependencies and developers other than yourself.

Check with a lawyer for details, but the best way to describe it is the EU can do little about data once it is outside of the EU: their laws don't apply elsewhere. They have ways around this.

If you have a EU presence (ie an office) that presence gets into trouble if data is sent outside the EU without a lot of care - this includes care to ensure the foreign government of where you send the data won't get it (which makes most companies not transmit data outside the EU if at all possible).

None of the above applies to this case though because presumably it is the person in question sending his own data outside the EU. There isn't much they can do about that.
Tsunami Democratic is being investigated by Spanish authorities for promoting public disorders and criminal activities. So Spain is making what is need to to prevent criminal activities and (further) public disorders in Catalonia.

I don't know how some Catalonian citizens are letting themselves be influenced by some corrupt politicians trying to enrich theirselves and avoid prison.

The problem is that a centralized body immediately becomes too powerful. The body itself would need to be limited in scope with other outside checks and balances.

SCOTUS is close to one of these centralized bodies you speak of, and they purposely only deal with cases that have gone through every other avenue. And even then, they are not trying to determine truth, but only fit the verdict within the existing body of law. I would prefer less decisions being decided in this manner.
That’s a fair point! A better comparison might be with something like Blackwater, i.e unaccountable thugs with guns, or with a combat environment where there are no civilians to get in the way.

It is preposterous to suggest that every other option would have created more risk for the police.

It is a shame, France has great rail, the Netherlands as well. My last experiences with traveling long train distances with DB rail were pretty abysmal.

Your reply shows your manipulative and dishonest nature.

There are very good reasons why the Catalans would not go for a push to amend the constitution.

- They believe it's a lost cause, since they are heavily outnumbered and the rest of Spain would be insane to just accede to losing 30+% of their wealth

- They know that the government of Spain will never let this happen.

- They do not accept the authority of the government of Spain, and therefore also not the constitution.

Being an Italian living in Catalonia for a few years now I absolutely say that it's not the same at all.

While money is an important factor (obviously) it's framed in completely different manner: former italian Lega Nord independentism is based on feeling/being superior on both the work & money side. And in fact Lega (Nord) was and it's still a right-wing, racist and xenophobic party. OTOH the independentist parties in Catalonia were basically left-wing (and now they cover almost all of the spectrum), and the economic side is more on the "we get +50% of our money out and what comes back cannot even cover the most basic needs". Having said that, there are obviously Catalans on the pro-independence side that can just be Lega Nord supporters. But the funny thing is that there are lots of Spaniards/Catalans against independence that can be Lega Nord supporters as well.
Denmark has a population of 6 million people with a homogeneous culture, ethnic composition (87% Danish descent, [0]) and physical location. Many problems are going to be faced to all Danes simultaneously.

It is much easier to construct a shared agreement on what is true in such an environment. That they are a democracy is less of an issue than the fact they all face a very similar environment and can probably agree with each other on what the truth is because they are all looking at the same thing.

An Army “hacker con” goes big: The return of AvengerCon
An interesting issue in the eventual independence of Catalonia is that, by law, Spanish citizens remain Spanish even if they are also citizens of another country. Therefore Catalans would not lose their Spanish passports, and would be therefore EU members, even if Catalonia was independent from Spain. And the children of Spanish citizens are by law also Spanish citizens. The strange case of a non-EU nation with 100% EU citizens in it would be an interesting development in geopolitics.
That would be a very interesting thing to explore indeed. I suspect we could already see some of it appear with some simple cellular automata. We could probably get many insights from it, and better predict issues such as resistant germs.

> with disposable individuals

And this is also something interesting: if an individual is too resistant, you risk propagating a disease to a large portion of the population. If each individual is too weak, you risk taking down the whole population. There are probably some evolutive pressure at play: a population with a rampant disease (a parasite, for instance) might be less competitive than another one that sheds its infected members.

Have you tried EMACS orgmode (https://orgmode.org)? With all the goodies, such as org-capture, linking features and so on you can get great solution basically for free in terms of money. On the other hand it is quite time consuming investment, but hey, note taking system is for life if it's good, right?

Although the interface is text-based (I believe it's a pro not con) it is therefore quite clunky in terms of media integration (photos are good, but I don't know about the videos) the rest (links, associating other resources, tagging system, todos system, exporting, projects etc) is quite superior to everything I've ever seen. Also it's FOSS and therefore extremely expendable IF you are willing to learn a bit of elisp (although I don't know it and I'm fine using just pieces of code from the internet and Spacemacs).

> China is not communist at least in economics any more.

This depends on your interpretation. It could be argued that China's state capitalism -- where the state is the dominant capitalist, and owns most of the companies, property, and natural resources, is a form of communism, perhaps the most effective realisation of communism seen so far.

True private ownership is very limited, as property rights are subordinate to the will of the state. Land can not be owned as freehold, and is instead leased from the state.

The Spanish constitution says that the country includes Catalonia and that the State must defend the country integrity.

Well, there was the global crisis, that Spain was affected.

Besides that, I don't think that there was anything big, it's just with the rise of things like populism and patriotism, it's normal for these movements to rise as well, as they already existed. It was just short of some leaders, and opportunity.

The secession of Catalonia actually appeals to me, but these seems more manipulation by their charismatic leader than an actual resolve. They could do it slowly building the movement and trying to amend the constitution. No rush. Rushing was just trying to get more money which got over their heads as the support and reaction was bigger than expected.

> I presume the secessionists are actually a minority.

I've got a colleague in Catalonia. At the time of the referendum, he was working here in the UK, and he went back to vote in the attempted referendum; and he participated in the general strike a few weeks ago after the sentencing of the leaders who ran the referendum.

He's a level-headed, laid-back kind of guy, not at all the type that gets worked up and inflamed over trifles. If he's upset enough at Madrid to participate in this, I think Madrid are the bad guys here. I don't think he necessarily wants to secede per se, but from his perspective they've basically tried everything else.

This is valid for rail travel in Europe if the energy for electrified intercity rail is not sourced from hydrocarbons. The energy efficiency in MegaJoules per passenger-kilometer are about equal between rail and air. For freight, rail is much more efficient in MegaJoules per ton-kilometer, but passengers are a small percentage of a very heavy rail car.

In the US, other than the Boston-Washington corridor, intercity rail is diesel powered and travels at 90 mph max due to grade crossings of roads and streets and due to track curvature. To fix US intercity rail requires removing all grade crossings, realigning the railways to straighten curves and redesigning the roadbeds to support high speed operation.
That's just the financial side of things. They'd still be tampering with the original piece of content, which most likely isn't what the artist would've wanted.

Then there's the question of if it's really ethical to want to consume content that at least partially is against your moral values. I completely concur with parents' desire to protect their children. However, if it's about adults finding content morally objectionable the actual ethical choice is to simply not watch that content.
OP here. For what it's worth, I am Spanish and against Catalonian independence, so the last thing I would want is to unwittingly spread pro-independence propaganda. I am aware of what you said, but it was the only article in English that I could find about this news.

As far as I know FB hearings are about political ads. Correct me if I'm wrong (with sources), but I have not seen any interest from Congress to force social media to be impartial related to organic political speech and forums. First Amendment restricts only government, not private business or people.

Maybe someone could educate me on the principles based on this opinion. For example, if Reddit was a bakery, would it be allowed to refuse to sell cakes to people with MAGA hats? The Supreme Court on ruled in favor of a Colorado baker who had refused to create a wedding cake for a gay couple.
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-111_j4el.pdf Why this does not apply to Reddit? If they don't wan't MAGA people, why can't they refuse?

Social media is free to take political stance and limit discussion. If they allow free speech, it's just because their users demand it or they think its nice to allow it for any reason.
News is a lot like statistics. Just by which facts I show (and don't show), and how I show them I can push the reader to a certain conclusion. Even the wording matters.

Not really, because a) people aren't willing to put up with false positives (i.e., adblockers hiding the meme cat photos you were looking for), and b) people aren't willing to pay money to hide ads.

The real solution is getting rid of intrusive and/or annoying ads, but that would mean sites with tightly curated audiences; no clickbait, SERP spam and other stupid audience-inflating crap.

Ultimately intrusive ads happen because publishers are in a rush to monetize traffic that advertisers view as cheap/low quality. It becomes a downwards spiral of attract low-quality eyeballs -> ad spendings plummet -> devote more screen share to annoying ads -> viewership falls -> attract more low-quality eyeballs -> etc.

Maybe at some point we'll hit rock bottom and things will start improving.
>but excessive escalation by the police

No one can challenge the authority of the state and all its tentacles like a Giant Squid. Take common law (case law) which partly governs the 5eyes countrys, its a legal framework which are moving goal posts based on future events and decisions made by a judge or judges (ala UK Supreme Court for Brexit) which no one can predict except Dr Who travelling in his Tardis! Common Law sets everyone up to fail, so why doesn't the state recognise its own weaknesses and failings by insisting on tarring everyone with the same brush? I'm sure that person would have bought a ticket if their circumstances were different ala Eddie Murphy's Trading Places. We don't know the full in's and out, but only now with the help of technology can we start to learn what someone has been taught and understood learnt from various sources (parents, schools, peers, religions etc.) and then work out better if the act was intended or not. This relies heavily on medicine stepping up to the plate in order to quantify better our exposure to chemicals and environmental stimuli which control our decision making processes. Understand this and you have built a general AI.
