This is good! Investigation is taking place, not automatically fining and asking questions later. I think my point is not really getting across. I am not advocating that tech companies get a free pass to do whatever they want.

It is not one above the other. I can understand if my point of views are not common or if you disagree. But in order to have a healthier debate, perhaps you could specifically address my points? The US does not (usually) interfere as much a

I posted an answer to this question below. I can understand your point of view, I just think that this makes it very hard for European companies to compete. I completely understand the need to regulate when it is needed to protect people&#x

I am European myself, but I tend to have more libertarian tendencies when it comes to this. Funny how right after posting this, I just read the news that France fined Google (again) [1] for arbitrarily banning a company from Google Ads and

I was skeptical when I read the title, given Europe's constant overregulation of US tech companies, but the argument actually makes a lot of sense.

My company www.seliom.com let’s you do something similar. I have only been at it for 3 months so it is still rough around the edges. I welcome you to give it a try and let me know if it doesn’t work for you. I would be happy to discuss your

Super useful! Thank you so much for this.

Thank you! Please let me know your thoughts! :)

Very cool! I am curious about the technical limitations of the duration of the audio files. Any way to overcome that? (Besides internally splitting them)

Thank you! For the front end we are using React and MobX state tree for state management. In the backend we are using Rails. We also use Google Cloud functions & storage for file uploads and later on we will also use it for scripts you

Thanks for letting me know, looking into it. Seems to only be happening in some specific cases.

Hi everyone! OP here. Really excited to launch Seliom on HN. We help companies improve their operational efficiency through the automation of their human workflows. We have been working on the platform for exactly 3 months now, and are fina

Out of curiosity, how does this compare to using tsvector? https://coderwall.com/p/vngr0a/simple-full-text-search-using... EDIT: Found my answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15884309&#x

I once met a couple of engineers who graduated from there. They were incredible.

Peaceful? Are you serious? Burned cars, streets on fire, ongoing brawls for the past 4 days. The separatist movement is anything but peaceful, and it is costing everyone in Spain. https://www.elmundo.es/cataluna/2019&#x

When only people who want independence vote on the referendum, obviously you are going to get such results. If the people opposing independence don't consider the referendum to be legitimate (since you know, it is illegal and against t

What majority? In Catalonia less than 50% of people want independence. It just so happens that the minority is louder.

You may or may not agree with it, but this is not me randomly saying that there was violence. We are talking about the second most powerful court in Spain, unanimously agreeing that violence took place.

America had been taken over by the British. You cannot extrapolate that to every other country. That is certainly not the history of Catalonia.

The Tribubal Supremo recognized in their sentence evidence of violence. Not enough for a rebellion one, but enough for sedition.

Spain is not a federal country. Furthermore, this is closer to NYC trying to separate from New York State.

I live in Madrid, and I am disgusted by the image that this whole event is giving about Spain.

by oliverx0 7y ago
Exactly, you don’t simply try to separate unilaterally from the country. That’s what Catalonian leaders did, and got punished for it.

by oliverx0 7y ago
Peaceful protests? You have to be joking. Just look at all the articles of the violence that took place against the national police trying to maintain order.

Why should anyone downvote you? You are absolutely right. The sovereignty of a nation resides in all citizens of that nation. That’s definitely the case of Spain as it is the first article of their constitution. What happened in Catalonia w

I love styled components for React. They are a great way to separate the styling logic from JSX, yet keeping it at a glance in the same file as the component. Essentially, you don’t have to remember CSS classes name. It is also a great way

You have a good point. I agree that there should not be retaliation for raising issues. But I think it is also important to realise that when an investigation has taken place, and the conclusion is that nothing can be done about it given la

Fair enough. Perhaps a process needs to be in place in which no matter what the accusation is, it needs to go through a proper HR process. Having said that, if a manager should have no opinion on a sexual harassment accusation, then the acc

No, I don't think reporting is evil. I quoted the word evil because the article mentioned sarcastically Google's motto. I think raising these issues is important, but saying things like: “It’s been infuriating to watch Google make
