spanxx··on Mass cellphone surveillance experiment in Spain
They both agreed to split. Totally different situation there.
spanxx··on Mass cellphone surveillance experiment in Spain
Scotland did the referendum in agreement with British Law and Westminster pairlament. This, note there is no British Constitution that forbids them to do referendums.

About Flakland Islands I don't know, so I don't have an opinion.

I'd say the sentencing is right because they broke the law.
spanxx··on Mass cellphone surveillance experiment in Spain
Do you have any idea about law in this matter? It is illegal to de-anonymize data without a court order.
spanxx··on Mass cellphone surveillance experiment in Spain
I'm sorry but this post seems like scaremongering.

As long as data is not de-aggregated and de-anonymized there is no issue here.

I see no relationship with the GPDR as this law applies to personal data and the agreement explicitly stated that data must be aggregated.

As long as it is used to know people flow or for statistical purposes, I see no wrong here.

The other political statements and comparisons he makes, well are unrelated and sincerely looks like political propaganda to me.

No country allows self-determination of it's regions. Do you think that USA would allow Texas or Lakota Nation to secede?
spanxx··on Mass cellphone surveillance experiment in Spain
How is that related to this piece of information?

Spanish Constitution does not allow regions (Autonomous Communities in Spain's legal jargon) to make referendums. What's the issue here?

spanxx··on St James and the Two Faces of Spain
Some background about why Anglo-Saxons usually consider Spain a backwards country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Legend (i.e. pure propaganda).
spanxx··on St James and the Two Faces of Spain
Why? Because it doesn't match you opinion? Are you versed in Spanish History?

We got it, if it doesn't attack Spain, is bad.

Do current US-citizens have any kind of heritage of Native Americans?
spanxx··on Magellan was first to sail around the world, right? Think again
Not on one voyage. However, I'm sure his life was an interesting one.
spanxx··on Magellan was first to sail around the world, right? Think again
Magellan had the vision and Elcano completed it.
spanxx··on Verified by Twilio
In Spain is also solved. You register in a free and public service called "Lista Robinson" (Robinson List) and from that time you won't receive commercial phone calls.
spanxx··on France to tax flights from its airports, airline shares fall
Please, allow me to ask you, how this bold statement contributes to this conversation?
spanxx··on U.S. Life Expectancy Drops for Third Year in a Row (2018)

It was not Spanish. It's origins come from the battlefields of WWI.

spanxx··on America colonisation ‘cooled Earth's climate’
Native population still exists in South America while in USA they were almost exterminated and placed in reservations.

What's your point?

spanxx··on Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia gets building permit after 137 years
Care to explain?
spanxx··on When we say “Everest is crowded,” this is what we mean
The same can be said for all famous cities during tourist season. Now, I assure you that if you go there on November (for example), most places aren't going to be much crowded.
spanxx··on The F# development home on GitHub is now dotnet/fsharp
Hijacking the thread (bear with me).

Is f# a good language to work with in Linux servers? Is possible? Would you recommend it?

Castile and Leon is an autonomous community, not a province.

Spanish language is Castilian spoken by non-castilian people.
spanxx··on Working as a librarian gave me PTSD symptoms
I'm not sure about other European countries, as I live in Spain. Here the situation is different. NGOs and the Catholic Church maintain a network or homeless shelters were people are fed and can sleep for free. The government subsidize these organizations instead of focusing on solving this problem itself.

What for?
spanxx··on EU Agencies Falsely Report More Than 550 Archive.org URLs as Terrorist Content
Please, provide a source.

When Pedro Sánchez (current Spanish Prime Minister) PhD thesis was discovered to be an alleged forgery or when allegedly used an official plane for personal matters there was plenty of content criticizing h directly.

spanxx··on Aztec Political Thought (2013)
Both conquistadors were helped by native fighters, so these numbers only show the Spanish warriors not their massive allied army.
spanxx··on Norwegian frigate sinking has far-reaching implications
How can you not see a big ship coming towards you even at night? I mean don't you see it's lights. Furthermore, they were warned repeatedly by radio. I'm sorry if I sound harsh but I can't help but think how they can be so incompetent?

I'm afraid there is a worrying trend in these kind of accidents to deflect the blame to the electronics/software. Isn't your job to keep the car/ship/vehicle intact? Technology is there to help you but not to do your job.

spanxx··on Norwegian frigate sinking has far-reaching implications
It's always easier to blame others than accept own's responsibility.
spanxx··on Eight low-tech ways to keep cool in a heatwave (2013)
Nobody take "siestas" in Spain. Only some toddlers and old people, so they are not designed with that intent on mind.

Their aim is to avoid sunlight in summer and keep warm in winter.
