I really really don't like the idea of having 3 different runtime libraries (or maybe even the same library with slightly different versions) loading at the same time. It's quite unanswered how are they dealing with styling. There

Actually this one is my favourite, possibly because it was the first book I read from Ishiguro. It's been maybe fifteen years, but in my mind it is a kafkian rollercoaster, filled with really memorable characters. I still remember a lo

According to the article, extracting stupid people from the gene pool won't affect the ratio of stupid people present in society. σ remains constant no matter what.

In this case I would say there is a feeling of guilt that is overcompensating for the quality of the restaurants. Most of the people complaining about this phenomenon are the actual culprits. Even with liberal types, the past is way more ap

Apparently wings in the 1900s were the equivalent of today's blockchains.

Trying to find references for this, I've found a New York Times article(1) that claims that upwards social mobility has not changed in 50 years. The article points to the research site(2), where they say: > Our work shows that child

The reason why this referendum is illegal is because it attempts to "break the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation” (according to the Spanish constitution). Why is one tribalism better than the other?

Are you suggesting that stopping terrorism is as easy as regulating mini-cab licenses, or that we should stop all legislation efforts until all terrorist attacks cease worldwide?

It's highly partial, and it says nothing about the opposition not allowed to talk. It does say that there was a bitter debate, though, and that it was interrupted twice. It only quotes members from parties against the referendum. And w

Just a disclaimer, this is one of the most far-right newspaper I've seen in a while.

To all of those wondering, attempting to break the “the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation” is a crime according to the Spanish Constitution of 1978. Of course, you have to consider that after almost 40 years of a fascist dictatorship

Yes, I can, but we are not the only ones in this room.

Ah, yes, I completely agree with you. I haven't been living in Spain for some time now, and every time I go back I'm horrified by the tension between Catalonia and the rest of Spain. It's like a mild Civil War all over again.

You have to consider the circumstances under which the Spanish Constitution was written. Franco had died, and after years of dictatorship and repression, the government was afraid of exactly this: separatism. So I guess that as a concession

This I don't agree. Catalonia is a nation, it has never been a country. A nation doesn't require its people to live under the same government and sovereignty. Also, can you add some references to some of the more polemical claims

I'm from Barcelona so I'm probably biased, but I still can't understand how holding a referendum can be illegal in a modern democracy. I'm asking honestly, this is not rhetorical. Some say that Catalunya can't decid

I understand. My point is broader. Even if he's comparing to last year's product, he promotes this as a bonus. He is happy that the product is in mint condition after 6 days. Not even a week. It's slightly sad.

> After six days of daily use, this iPhone 8 shows no scratches or “micro-abrasions” whatsoever. When did we start having such low expectations of products? (my italics) Edit: grammar.

That is fantastic, thanks for the clarification. The problem with calling self-contained components on demand is more of a mindset one: we've grown too used to compiling everything into one single file and calling it a day.

Maybe no people were laid off, and they are hiring like crazy. But they are growing like hyper-crazy. The question is: would they've hired more people if it wasn't for automation? Are they hiring at a proportional rate of their gr

I think that you are right. I think that politics (in a broad term) will play a more important role than technology here. Right now the adoption of bitcoin is widespread, but still quite niche (technological people and investors). I wonder

This could easily lead to a race to the bottom. Maybe adoption will be the determining factor? What could determine a successful adoption rate for a cryptocurrency: governments, citizens, corporations? Amazon accepting a specific cryptocurr
