Re: How the Catalan government uses IPFS to sidestep Spain's legal block
#522As an outsider, it's strange that nobody here seems to question whether the referendum really makes sense. Forgetting about Catalonia for a moment, isn't it fundamentally amoral that a part of the country where prosperity has (by mere chance) concentrated suddenly wants to split off? Isn't this taking wealth-inequality to the next level? Of course the people in a prosperous part of the country want to split off. Abso…
I think now that the referendum has started it should be really obvious why Catalonia doesn't want to be a part of Spain.
Just look at twitter being filled with imagery of Spanish riot police beating up kids and old people while trying to stop the vote.

Who would want to live in a country where the government sends an army of masked thugs to violently attack people who are doing nothing criminal?

With this referendum too, this article gives me the impression that it might be Madrid's unreasonable reaction to it that might really drive the independence here. With this kind of response, I don't blame the Catalans for wanting independence at all.

The next obvious step will be end-to-end auditable voting systems.

And Pujol(ex president of Catalonia with money in Andorra, and some of his son in jail) cases? The 3% percent... From Huelva to Girona all sucks and the corruption is everywhere. Pujol one day said: "if I talk everything is going to be destroyed" because everyone knows that the other stole money but nobody talk
Not sure why constantly saying "u more!" is an argument at all to deny population voting. Childish if you ask me.

> if you want us to be in Spain, please seduce us Yeah, the tiresome "seduce us (with mo' fresh money)" argument again. I have a better idea, why you don't try to seduce me instead to call me thief (Spain stole us) and abuser (Spain oppress us and do not let us be free) and hit me all the time with a new surrealist occurrence (don't buy spanish products, here are a list of the evil companies that you must avoid if yo…
It sounds an awful lot like things aren't working out then. Perhaps a split is better? Then you don't have to deal with them. A vote is happening. There is nothing that the government can do to stop it unless they send in the tanks and start killing millions.
Beware and let us know if you spot any zombie

That's true, but you don't see signs demanding "democracy" or secession (except perhaps in Texas, and not really much there either). That is, while there are confederate flags, there isn't a active, ongoing independence movement in the US south.
But there’s no chance a binding secession referendum would be allowed in the U.S..

At this moment, I don't see any tank. Maybe you are living in your own dark fascist fantasy? Beware and let us know if you spot any zombie
There has certainly been some disruption, but the people are mostly still forging ahead on all fronts.
The police have open fired on some of the pro independence people, sending a couple hundred to the hospital, but that is very minor in the vast scheme of things.
A couple hundred pro independence people in the hospital isn't that big of a barrier.
This is only the beginning. Every video of the Spanish military beating up an 80 year old lady with a ballot in hand is a propaganda Victor for the independence movement. They stop 1 person from voting, via their rubber bullets, and they create a hundred more pro independence people who were previously neutral.

The attack mentioned on the page is brute-forcing someone's details from partial information: "it can be used to “fill the gaps” of information about any citizen. If you know someone’s birth date and the area where they live, you can obtain their government ID by trial-and-error on that website." The mitigation is slowing down the number of guesses/second that an attacker can try. In a well-designed key derivation fu…
Holy shit! People are hiring planes to ship them GPUs!? Jeasus!! Gibson was far more prescient than acknowledged; " the future is already here, but not evenly distributed yet " Wow... I had such opportunity and ability to buy bitcoins in 2012... and I missed that boat.
That quote also isn’t from Gibson. :)

Just curious, do you have a reliable source for the 16 billion per year?
Pf I know it's media based (so yeah... take the "reliable" part of it with a grain of salt... or handful maybe) http://www.expansion.com/economia/2017/09/29/59cd50b8ca47412...
