My understanding is that three centuries ago the movement was for the restoration of the furs. I would characterise that goal as a return to federalism rather than a bid for independence. Is that a disagreement in interpretation or were there two separate movements with different goals?
At least one Spanish newspaper claimed a few days ago that this was happening. But as to the timing, this has been brewing for a few years. I think it's better explained by a comment I saw yesterday (and I wish I could remember where to credit it properly) that as a universal rule of thumb, nationalisms get a big popularity boost in times of economic difficulty.
Bullshit. If it were about persecution of ideas, Puigdemont would have been barred from public office months ago. What Spain is doing is cracking down on spending public money and using the personal data of millions of citizens to carry out actions which have been clearly ruled illegal by the supreme court.
I only brought up expectation of privacy because you can choose not to use it and be fine in your own home or the like. You can choose not to associate with people in private places that use the feature.
One of the fundamental questions here is how much effort it is reasonable to expect people to take in order to protect their privacy.
Is it reasonable to expect everyone (including very non-technical people) to research the ways in which the phone they're planning to buy affects their privacy? Already I think there will be different opinions in different cultures.
Is it reasonable to expect everyone (including very non-technical people) to be aware of the ways in which a well-known brand of phone carried by other people affects their privacy, and to ask people whether they have that brand of phone before choosing to associate with them in private? I think this is already well past what is reasonable.
Is it reasonable to expect everyone (including very non-technical people) to be aware of the ways in which every brand of phone carried by other people affects their privacy, and to ask people what brand of phone they have and perform a (physical or mental) lookup before choosing to associate with them in private?
I think it is a reasonable expectation that a phone shouldn't be using its camera except when triggered by a user. In fact, now that I've thought about it, I wonder whether this kind of feature could run into legal problems in Europe and require owners to register with their national data protection authorities as operators of a CCTV scheme.
I'm not sure that I see the relevance of the expectation of privacy in public places. What about the expectation of privacy in private places? The phone isn't going to detect the transition between the two and adjust its behaviour.
Even if we stick to personal computing technology, both x86 and ARM processors are well ahead in importance and success, albeit probably not in recognition.
What makes you think I've ever seen anything published by the American Dairy Association, or drunk any milk purchased in the US? You're on the Internet, not pre-September AOL. It has foreigners.
having your government mandate all warranty lengths is silly
Not really. Consider the environmental implications of minimum warranty lengths. Giving companies strong incentives to make their products durable helps to reduce the accumulation of electronic waste to recycle (or landfill, but see the WEEE Directive). Recycling is better than landfill, but it's still not entirely clean. Protecting the environment is in the long-term interests of the populace, so governments should be doing it.
A two year warranty would create the same issue if the user thinks it should be warrantied for as long as they are financing it through a third party.
I think you managed to read straight past GP's
and where a device is tied to a contract it must last at least as long as the contract or the contract ends.
I read the LensRental article (but not the PetaPixel one, so maybe I don't need to be ostracised from/.) and they were pleasantly surprised to only have 6 items of damaged equipment, vs a pre-event guess of 18.
Most fruit juice is about 10% sugar, so one large glass of juice (250ml, about 8.5 US fl.oz.) already takes you up to the WHO's daily recommendation of free sugar intake (25g, just under 1oz).
AIUI the pathway that's "depotentiated" isn't the actual hearing the sound (so it's not that they became deaf), nor the storage of the memory (so TFA is wrong), but the connection between the two. In other words, the mice still hear the sound, but their brain doesn't check for memories associated with that stimulus, so although the memory is still there it isn't accessed and the logical response is not triggered.
It's probably better to parse out to low-level "scalar" values and hand-code the part that stuffs them into objects or databases rather than let a parser actually build objects or object trees itself.
If you're dealing with enough different datatypes then it might be a big development and maintenance saving to have a generic object builder in your deserialiser. The key is to make it so that you whitelist the datatypes it will deserialise.
I'm not sure that this is news - I downloaded the first year or so of Galaxy from archive.org last November. The irritating thing is that the URLs don't follow a consistent pattern, so I couldn't just curl them to catch up with at my leisure.
The new system replaces that with a concept of "modules". These are collections of classes with strong names, cryptographic signatures, version numbers, and members that are either public and advertised to code the imports the module, or private and for internal module use only. This is a huge step up from the idea of just going and loading class files out of some path.
According to the document you linked, the module system explicitly doesn't include versioning information, and it says "This is intentional: It is not a goal of the module system to solve the version-selection problem".
I'm actually astonished Java made it this far without such a feature!
Why? How many languages do have such a feature? The only thing I can think of which does is the.Net ecosystem.
Depends on the context. You have to do a threat and risk analysis for the given circumstances. When I spent four months travelling in South America a dozen years ago I needed to be able to ssh into my home computer for e-mail, so I created a USB stick with putty and a password-protected key pair. My reasoning was that even if the Internet cafés I visited had keyloggers (plausible) they were less likely to be set up to automatically copy the contents of the stick, and the operator of the keylogger (whether the owners or another customer) probably wouldn't have a clue what ssh is anyway. I considered it an acceptable risk.
There are reasons to have a GitHub account even if you don't host any code there. The obvious one is to be able to post issues on projects which are dependencies for your projects; slightly less obviously, github.io is in some senses the new Geocities.
Why else run samba than to allow windows machines on your network to access it?
I have a read-only samba share on my desktop which I use to copy photos to my Android phone so that I can bore my colleagues with them. It's the simplest method I've found.
And party leader Sanjay Singh has said he also wants paper ballots for all future elections, arguing "All foreign countries like America, Japan, Germany and Britain have gone back to ballot paper."
Britain never switched away from paper ballots, so it hasn't gone back.

The rule which talks about terrorism is
But either it's one rule for the élite and another for hoi polloi or threatening to nuke North Korea isn't a threat of violence.

Really? The people in that age range who I know think Facebook is for "old" people (i.e. people over 30).
Is that a typo for 500mm? Refractive designs for 50mm lenses are simple and cheap enough that there isn't much call for a reflective one.

Sounds like you started quite old. I'd been programming for ten years when I started university, and I'm sure someone's about to one-up me...
