I don't know if is the case of Facebook, but in general this is the story of most of tech companies, all are located in Ireland where they pay so much less taxes, and in rest of EU countries all this big companies pay this quantities or in the worse case the government return money.

EU is totally broken, one market with one tax per country; Obviously, all companies go to the country with less taxes. And the different is not 1% or 2% is like 10% or more.

It's also "funny" that a illegal immigrant in Catalonia can vote but a citizen of Madrid do not have any right even if their parent are from Catalonia.

But relax, nobody is going to vote because is illegal.

Nobody is going to vote, is illegal. In Spain the only way to make a referendum is if the Government of Spain organize it. In the case that happened is all the citizen of Spain who can vote.

Accurate? No at all. Try to compare Scotland with Catalonia is not accurate at all. Scotland was a nation before, Catalonia never was a nation before. UK do not have Constitution so is the current parlament which determinate what can be done or not, but in Spain like in other country like USA we have a Constitution, which say "The sovereignty of the Spanish territory falls on all Spanish citizens". So just few can not decide about that.

BBC please, you are taking your source from the Government of Catalonia which is try a Coup d'état (coup) again the rest of Spanish. And is pushing the people to disobedience the authority, another illegal act.

Catalonia is on bankruptcy and is the government of Spain which is giving money to save their economy. And they spoil the money in have 7 public tv channels which only make propaganda about independencia. They spoil the money in all this process of independency instead of invest on the real economy.

All this new wave of independency is not about historic reason because there is not historic reason, neither about get more power because most of the power is already delegate to the regional government. All this start because the current political party in power in the government in Catalonia is full of corruption[1], the previous president of Catalonia[2] is at ready in court for hide more than 3 Billions of euros in banks around the world without pay tax, and all point out that this money was take from commissions, blackmail the companies to pay 3% or 5% from every public contact that make in Catalonia during more than 30 years.

The project of Europe is all about very different countries join together to try to build a more prosper area, to try to avoid nationalize that only bring wars in Europe.

Django 1.5 released 13 years ago

Sorry for the Off topic, but anybody have a good experience with Appengine+Google Cloud SQL+Django?? I am thinking as alternative to AWS but I dont know if it's going to give me so much problems with the integration. Also a bit worry about the price in comparation with AWS. Anyone experience in both world?

I am not talking about this. What I means it's when you have to deal with more complex interaction, between different systems, old technologies, ...

What you say it's true, JS it's going to evolve in the next years until to convert in something totally different, you will see. Some people call that reinvent the wheel.

I am not against JS at all, I just dont think every single problem can be resolve with that, sorry.

The people live in a bubble, they don't considerer that there is others kind of software that required more (so much more) business logic, that only an insane man can try to solve with js.
