NetStrikeForce··on How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block
Not sure if you're native Spanish speaker or not, but nacionalidad is nación when talking about a group of people (simplifying as typing from mobile)

The count is of about 30 different articles. Here's a comment from El País (hardly pro-indy or pro-catalan) about it: https://elpais.com/diario/2007/07/05/espana/1183586424_85021...

I'm a Catalan expat and I voted already from where I am. There's a census of Spaniards living abroad. If you were there you could sign up to vote.

Ok.

By the way, can I get your crystal ball? There's this lottery thing...

This guy was arrested in Valencia: https://github.com/GrenderG

Tried to find a Twitter thread from his lawyer, but no luck. Check this out: http://www.levante-emv.com/comunitat-valenciana/2017/09/22/p...

He was also taken to police premises, put on the phone with someone from Madrid and released.

Indicted for a crime here couldn't commit as he's not a civil servant. Also the judge authorised to get his online accounts and change the passwords (wtf). A terrible attack on civil liberties.

It's needed because it depend on the census.

In Spain you don't have to register to vote every time. Just show up at the place you have to, based on the census.

Do you mind technically explaining a bit more about pinning, how it works and why would anyone do it?
NetStrikeForce··on How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block
Sadly, Spain and many Spaniards can't see that. They keep claiming Spain "owns" Catalonia and also claim Catalan Devolution only exists because they "allow it"

You can be biased as long as you're truthful. Sadly, you are not being truthful.

Catalan Parliament passed a law with more than 50% of the vote. In a Parliamentary democracy, Parliament is sovereign.

The law says that if YES wins, there will be a mandate for independence and negotiations will start with the central government.

If the result is NO the Catalan Parliament will dissolve the government and call for regional elections.

More than 80% of Catalans want a legally binding referendum, regardless of pro or against indy.

No, it's not a reaction most liberal democracies in the EU would have.

MPs all over Europe (Denmark, Switzerland, Finland to name a few) have asked the Spanish government to stop prosecuting and negotiate a referendum.

Not true at all. You are either misinformed or malicious.

Private organisations websites like assemblea.cat have been banned.

Lots of signs drawn, designed, printed by people have been seized by police. Including signs that only said "democracy".

Private citizens have been arrested for mirroring the websites with their own resources. That's political prosecution, stop hiding behind the law.

Please don't spread misinformation.

The recursion ends where people wants it to end.

Can your neighborhood struck trade deals with India? Then maybe your neighborhood wants to team up with others around to do that... See where I'm going?

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of all the non-sense that comment spouted. Getting something so basic that wrong... Geez.
NetStrikeForce··on How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block
They do agree though. Barcelona, Aran, whatever. You name it.

Just start the political movement and it'll be respected. I think it's a fair ask.

NetStrikeForce··on How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block
That's not how it works. You might want to read about it before having an opinion on a straw man.

For the record: Spaniards living in Catalonia for at least 6 months can vote. Foreigners can't, like in General or Regional elections.

NetStrikeForce··on How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block
There's no federal government, it's not a federation.

Historically the central government has extracted money and resources from Catalonia. Catalonia was one of the first regions in Spain to develop its industry and definitely the strongest on that: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolución_industrial_en_Esp...

These days it is widely accepted that the Catalan people send 16 billion per year to Spain that are never returned. That wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't because our infrastructures are underfunded and only around 35% of the budgeted investments were actually executed: http://www.elnacional.cat/es/politica/estado-ejecucion-infra...

But this is not just an economic grievance. The issue is way more complex and includes (but not restricted to) language, cultural and respect issues.

There are 16 billion per year going from Catalonia to Spain without return.

But not only that, the centralisation of government powers and agencies have created a problem where many big companies have to be in Madrid even if most their operations are in other parts of the country. That makes their taxes to be paid in Madrid instead of e.g. Valencia, Bilbao or Barcelona. The amount of taxes lost because of this is HUGE and much worse than the 16 billion per year above.

An independence would bring back 100% of the former and a good chunk of the latter. Hopefully that would help Catalonia grow at the pace its economy can and then it should be able to contribute back to Europe much more than now. Contributions have to be sustainable.

That's why Spanish Constitutional Court tore down articles of the Catalan Estatut (sort of regional constitution) that are accepted in exactly the same terms for others and are even covered in the Spanish Constitution.

E.g. "Catalonia is a nation". The Spanish Constitution says "Catalonia is a nationality" while the Andalusian Estatuto says "Andalusia is a nation".

NetStrikeForce··on How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block
The Constitutional Court hasn't ruled out yet. Just suspended it while they deliberate.

That's why most of the actions taken have been ordered by the Attorney General and not a court... Because the ref is not illegal :)

NetStrikeForce··on Cloudflare's new Rate-limiting. Beware
Is that true for small companies, too? Does the financial department have to be more than one person, too? What about sales? Logistics?
NetStrikeForce··on Deloitte hit by cyber-attack revealing clients’ emails
It happens in many big companies that some departments hire external companies to do some work their own company does for customers. Why? Because those external companies are cheaper than hiring those internal departments.

Very strong accusations here. If you have any proof, let Microsoft know. They don't take fraud and corruption kindly.

No, since I've reduced my day to ~6 work hours I am much more productive.
NetStrikeForce··on Ask HN: Sublime Text vs. Notepad++ which do you prefer? Why the hype for Sublime?
I can open 1-2GB files with Sublime. I can't with Notepad++

But most of the time I use Notepad++ for quick notes, dumping clipboard contents, parse logs, ... Pretty much everything except coding (I only do small scripts and the odd tiny utility).

NetStrikeForce··on Linux console tool to evaluate round trip latency within a TCP/UDP session?
> tcpdump/wireshark simply...

There's nothing simple about tcpdump/wireshark.

Wireshark does deltas for you if you want and can even calculate the RTT at every point in time during the lifetime of a TCP flow. Wireshark is fucking awesome and I'm sad you would say "simply provides..." :'(

But if what you want is just to know the RTT for a 3 way handshake against a remote endpoint, try something like gotcping: https://github.com/pjperez/gotcping/releases

tracetcp (and variants) is not what you want, because it calculates the time it takes for you to get a "TTL expired in transit" ICMP back except on the last hop. Gotcping and other avoid wasting your time by just testing the final endpoint.

NetStrikeForce··on Ask HN: How are FB and GOOG growing if hardly anyone intentionally clicks on ads
Because people intentionally click on ads. What data have you seen to say people don't click intentionally on ads?
