The political mess that Britain created in the aftermath of WWI remains today. The competing agreements and the subsequent countries that were created to disunite Muslims from each other led to political instability throughout the Middle East. The rise of Zionism coupled with the disunity of the Muslims in that region has led to corrupt governments and economic decline for the Middle East as a whole. The divisions that the British instituted in the Muslim world remain strong today, despite being wholly created within the past 100 years.
The differences between Iraqis, Syrians, Jordanians, etc. were entirely created by the European colonizers as a method of dividing the Arabs against each other.
Now is time for EU to pay the same price.
HN users in general lean heavily left (at least publicly).
history will tell if they did the right choice. right now no body really knows.
They're mocking people who protested with signs like "Keep government out of my medicare!" during the debate over Obamacare.
How do you know that they regret it "in many cases"?
I can confirm this. Even in Germany. My wife is black. Her sister wanted to visit, they are didn't came but that's another story.

Back to the renting act. They are two parents and four kids. All black.

Well, I'm white. So I tried to do the renting.

Soon or later the topic will come up who will come.and fRom where etc.

Told them, they are from Nigeria and have American passports.

End of story. No one replied.

Ever.

People are still resists. Like it or not. Or they hate children.

Make out of it what you want.
"strong incentives" What incentives? I only see negatives from this.
Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have an “Ask HN” category in the menu?
"Ask Reddit" is very popular on Reddit. "Ask HN" would be very popular here.
The day is November 5th 2016, and the top post on HN is "Donald Trump is the 45th President of the United States". Comments read "it is a sad day for the United States" and "I don't understand, Hillary was polling well".
I wonder where pterodactyls would fall on that scale.
Multiplayer is the afterthought. Not developed by ID, poorly implemented, and yet somehow became the first thing any of us saw.
Yea... Handmade Hero is a very awesome idea, but I can't imagine the amount of dedication it would take for someone to sit down one day and decide to watch all 300+ videos. It's like an order of magnitude more content than a college course already and it's clearly far from finished.
Then I guess its another downside of an aging population and the obsession with money/status/career success over having a family. Gives you more old folk than young ones.
Gut feeling after reading the article I suppose?

Would you really be surprised if many voters didn't know what they were voting for? Especially if the outcome is one agreed upon by most intellectuals to be the worse outcome.
Right... But then again, I'm not a journo at the WaPo. They are making these implications without knowing who... However I find it likely the Stay voters would be interested to know the implications of the vote now that the vote has gone against them.
Out of curiousity, why wasn't Salesforce part of this study?
I agree. My daughter knows both. She just graduated High School. She has lobbied Congress and The Senate at the federal level and written a state bill (with 2 other high school students) that passed and was signed by our governor. While her experience is unusual, the schools here focus on us history and us government history.

I do think when I was in high school I learned more about the rest of the world than they do. And that is sad.
I get the joke, but after having dealt with them, I would personally love it if the government got out of medicare.

Just give everyone a voucher and let them buy their own health insurance using it.

The amount of paperwork, and details to keep track of and calculate was absolutely unreal. I have BOXES full of paper from medicare, there was so much I could barely keep up.

The worst was the arcane and utterly confusing rules on eligibility: if this, or if that, or you live here, or there, for these dates, and that deadline. I felt like I needed an AI just to figure it all out (and in hindsight my understanding was completely wrong, and I chose the wrong option).
I'm genuinely curious how someone living in an EU state does not know what it is and some of the stuff the org does day-to-day. How does this happen?
>IT doesn't generally decide what a company does

But IT helps the company do what it decided to do (not that I think Megaupload did something bad).
The time to judge Brexit is not after 10 hours. In 10 years we'll know how to evaluate the decision.
> Basically, the two parses are different.

I'm not convinced this is the case. Standard analysis would say that "capable of murder" parses as (capable (of (murder)), not ((capable of) (murder)). Assuming that analysis is correct, you have a prepositional phrase (with of) licensed by the adjective "capable" itself in specific, and a prepositional phrase (with at) licensed by the semantics of the adjective but not by "capable" specifically.

Some examples of what I'm talking about:

1. "I believe in live-and-let-live." Here, the verb believe takes a complement that must be marked by in. An in-phrase with the same sense cannot be attached to other arbitrary verbs; it can appear here because it is licensed by believe. Invest also licenses an in-complement, with a meaning related to investing but unrelated to believing: "I prefer to invest in small companies". But "I affirm in live-and-let-live" is nonsensical despite being semantically very similar to "I believe in live-and-let-live". Affirm does not license such a complement.

The adjective capable individually licenses an of-phrase in this manner.

2. "He ran to the park." Here, the phrase to the park is not licensed by the verb run. It is licensed by the semantics of running as a verb of motion, and can appear with the same sense attached to any motion verb: "He swam to the park"; "He ambled to the park"; "He somersaulted to the park"; etc.

Capable licenses an at-phrase in this manner, just like good, skilled, adept, inept, competent, etc.

3. "The ceremony begins at 8:00." Here, at 8:00 is licensed by all verbs that exist now or might in the future. Semantically, it has nothing to do with the verb.

The thing is, the parse tree you get for all of those cases is exactly the same. It's true that the of example is bound to capable more closely than the at example is, but the closeness doesn't lie in the parse tree, it lies in the level of generality at which the complement is licensed.
We elect politicians whose full-time jobs it is to understand big and complicated issues, and to decide on our behalf how to deal with them. That includes the right to make and break treaties with other world powers.

Why should something like this be any different?
Just great... Lets find out AFTER we voted what EU is all about.
Yep. Well spotted.
Yes, perfect illustration of my point.

The government benefits the people enormously. Yes, it has a lot of problems, but we're way better off with it than without it. I can totally understand a desire for reform, but simply tearing it down is insane.
I can see a case in which they have some sort of moral claim to control spending, but that is limited, as one example, by the fact that a government decides a lot more than spending.

It's also a bad idea when you want to make good (as in maximize individual happiness) decisions, since the "10%" who'd end up with 90% of the political power have neither the knowledge nor (in some cases) the interest to help a majority of society.

Even they would actually not have to gain much from controlling spending (except by lowering taxes) as the super-richs' happiness is more or less independent of gov spending: private schools, private jets, private healthcare.

Oh, it's also a completely stupid & undemocratic idea, which led to my glib initial criticism.
Now look at the demographics where voters voted for exit and see how does it compare in terms of age, education and income compared to those who foter for staying.

> But way to go WaPo and imply naïveté on the Brexiters.

The D.C. political class : politics :: MBAs : business. And WaPo is the Harvard Business Review. In that it's often useful, but suffers from the belief that the hoi polloi would be lost without the "professional political class" to tell them what they want, and derisively dismisses ideas that don't originate within certain orthodox circles.
One of the original suggested referendum questions was "Do you think that the United Kingdom should be a member of the
European Union?"

It was rejected in favour of "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of European Union" because "some
participants in our research did not know that the United Kingdom is currently a member of the European Union."*

If that wasn't evidence the referendum was a bad idea...

No, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I was just curious, hopefully I did not come across as confrontational.
note the /s
There's nothing wrong with having a referendum over it. But a horrible media industry has made a circus over the entire thing, leaving many people misinformed.
That's why governments and more specifically republics exist, because the masses are stupid.
So, can they rejoin? Or will the entire country collapse due to the awkwardness of reversing the earlier decision?
By representatives. You need a buffer between raw emotion and action.

Otherwise, this happens.
The UK already had such a deal before the last round of bailouts, didn't stop the EU from going back on their word...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11737286/EU-dem...

"Britain will be liable for close to £1 billion of emergency loans to Greece, it can be revealed, after Jean-Claude Juncker tore up a “black and white” deal to protect UK taxpayers from Eurozone bailouts."

"Britain pays around 14 per cent of the EU budget – meaning that lending Greece 8.6 billion euros would leave UK taxpayers exposed to the tune of around £850 million. The risk of default is high.
Yet Mr Cameron secured a binding written agreement with his counterparts at a Brussels summit in December 2010, explicitly prohibiting such a deal.
In exchange for British consent to treaty change to create the ESM, the text of the deal stated that the EFSM would not be used again to bailout Eurozone members."
As well as who is regretting what (remain/leave) and in what numbers. It's all click bait speculation.
Or even more, maybe a compelling reason for Britons to elect representatives in the government and EU parliament who could actually push the reforms the EU needs?

They do. It is called "Ask"
As a British citizen I have an EU passport and have the right to visa-less travel anywhere in the EU, and the right to live, work and study work anywhere in the EU without having to apply for paperwork or visas. I can just decide tomorrow to move to another EU country and that's it.

This vote tore all that up.
I don't think your description is accurate.

He says "I'm a bit shocked to be honest.. <Presenter: What about?> I'm shocked about both... I'm shocked that we have actually voted to leave. I didn't think that was going to happen. My vote, I didn't think was going to matter too much because I just thought we were going to remain."

Maybe this short clip is missing context... maybe he says later on in the conversation that it was a protest vote... but all this clip shows is that he's surprised they won?

It's common to vote for something you believe in, knowing the opposition will win anyway. That doesn't imply it's a protest vote, that you don't really want what you're voting for.
Good point. Here's a good google scholar search that can get you started https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=entertainment+education...

Patronizing attitude towards British voters from newspapers and the elites. Democracy happened, British people wanted to regain sovereignty over their affairs, and they did it. Good for them.
I agree.

You see the same thing with the "third wave" movement who espouse that very light roast is the "best" way to roast coffee. Light, medium and dark roast coffee is all perfectly fine ways of roasting, and all return different flavors for different beans.

I prefer a roaster that has mastered the whole range.
I think you're probably right, but this whitepaper gave me a sliver of hope that my goroutines might be free to work some nondeterministic magic once again
Wow, if that's not an elitist take I dunno what is. Maybe we should require IQ tests for voters, eh? Don't want the working class voting against the elites, now.
For me the apple site looks and feels fantastic ;)
>The current muslim countries actually have a lot of Roman influence

Like what? All I can think of is anti-roman influence. It's very hard to settle that in a short answer but I think Islam is almost the opossite of hellenism and "roman influence".

>First of all, the Eastern Empire had dealings with Muslims 1000 years after the west fell

The same dealings the Western Empire had with the Huns. We are not calling the Huns as heirs of the romans right? It was a hostile relationship from day 1.
I'm strangely moved by this whole thing. It's a pretty decent status check on where we are with democracy ATM. I'm not against democracy, but I do think we need to pay attention to what it can & can't do.

On one hand, this has been a model of democracy. A primary election agenda and referendum. The phrasing of the question was simple, clear and unbiased. The "will of the people" won over the will of the ruling structure. Most politicians and the main parties (especially before the opportunists jumped in) were against leaving. So was the financial sector and most big businesses.

OTOH, some of the problems inherent in democracy were also on display. A "right to my opinion" emotional public moved by very emotional arguments. Lies, untruths and misleading truths were the most prominent arguments on either side. A majority of the discussion was stupid.

We haven't figured this shit out yet. Kings anyone? How about the best wrestler gets to be in charge? ideas?
> The home page has more about you than the framework.

There are 36 words about me on the page and 202 about Min. Six times more words and 6.5 times more characters about Min. I put my own details at the very bottom of the page intentionally. There's nowhere else on the site that even mentions my existence. Min is a multi-year labor of love that I have poured an incredible amount of time into in order to make the web faster, and the amount of time I've spent writing Min, maintaining it, helping people with it (for free), doing browser testing, etc., etc. is not even one hundredth of the time I have been hired for as a result of Min.

When Min had some text about donating some years back, in small font at the bottom of the page, I had 11 people criticize me for it and one ten-cent donation. I thought that this would be a more useful way to, after years of free labor, pay off some of the costs I've spent on browser testing services, physical devices, domains, hosting, etc. Apparently I can't even do that.

I love open source, I license everything I can under the MIT license, and I contribute to OSS projects as much as I can. But there's a breaking point. I've tolerated bullshit copyright claims, people impersonating me to try to get money out of Min users, people ripping me to shreds when I added some small-font, bottom-of-the-page donation text, buying new devices just to test strange device bugs. In context your comment is really one of the most mild criticisms I've heard. Not so much "the straw that broke the camel's back" as "the straw that brought the camel to write an annoyed HN comment", but I digress.

There are many validating moments with Min; I've seen Min used around the web, from simply speeding up sites in the first world to allowing people from impoverished nations to access the Internet (on their shitty satellite connection, where a page that would cost $50 now costs cents to view). But years of continual criticism is just so incredibly exhausting to deal with.
"Enormous power"; do not paint it as if it were a confederacy.

The EU has been a scapegoat in Britain for decades. The elites used it to justify many a policy that would hurt the middle class, while pushing for more and more liberalization once in the EU parliament.

The average guy in Britain is just as much at fault here for not following what has been happening. They kept reading their fucking tabloids, the reality-check will be harsh and gruesome.

No, it's not a compelling reason for the UK to leave. It was a compelling reason for the average Briton to learn and educate himself. Now they shot themselves in the foot. Well done!
As an Irish person, I would like our country to take the opportunity to welcome British business but say "thanks, but no thanks" to finance and banking.

I want our brightest and best to do more useful stuff, engineering and literature and medicine or whatever. We should consider our education system to have failed every time a bright student goes into finance.

It's the only long term sustainable plan. Convert debt to equity and keep the deposit base low.
Why not to have referendum on taxes? Care to guess the outcome?
So what?

If they want to come to our countries, they have to respect our laws.

They want to stone people? Jail them.

Those nations aren't a threat to our civilization precisely because of how their society works. They distrust themselves far too much to wage a jihad against our civilization.

Cold brew tastes great. Hot brew tastes great. AeroPress tastes great. It's not a "Better", it's just a taste and situation thing. Sometimes I want Turkish coffee, sometimes I want a Greek Nescafe Frappe. It's not that one is better, although one is definitely better when I want that one.
They didn't leave yet and may not. I feel like this has been used as a vehicle for Boris Johnson to increase his chances to be prime minister and others' to provoke changes. It seems to me that Britain didn't seriously consider the repercussions of an exit that doesn't involve cherry-picking.
I can visit, I will probably do it but this will not teach me everything's in two weeks or more. What you didn’t understand (my bad explanation) with my statement is that people can live in a big country, have almost the same rules, votes globally etc. there still will be a huge difference between culture of people (rich, poor, etc.) It’s why the EU is falling down, everybody does not pull at the same rope. People still use history to say that they are a country when we are just the same, human mixed by a million of years of sex. It’s just a loop, “country” like cells get bigger, fall and split. Let’s do it again and hope that we can do things globally.
Do you disagree there's a big implication here?

Normally I'd agree with you.

From your own link: "Colonists objected to the Tea Act because they believed that it violated their rights as Englishmen" (my emphasis)

The article then goes on to say that after the Tea Party, the colonists petitioned the monarch... not exactly something you'd to do an external force.
I've only seen percentages, not figures. I'm not sure you can even say that these searches are being issued by people who turned out to vote.

Buenos Aires zoo to close after 140 years: 'Captivity is degrading'
Interesting. The transactional hypothesis sounds like a refinement of the generational hypothesis.

Seems like the main advantage of this transaction oriented collector over a typical generational collector is that it precisely identifies the old-to-young pointers and thus may scan less total objects.
It might worth remembering that anecdote !== data. Drawing conclusions about the motivations of a larger group from one member of that group is logically indistinguishable from all the discriminatory -isms.
The EU is not other people. The UK has always held large power in controlling the EU. Obviously in concert with others, but such is the nature of cooperation.

This othering of the EU is really lazy. The EU was never some ominous foreign entity.

Plus, get better education if that's the problem. My civics teacher was quite adept at explaining the EU. For historic reasons there is some ugly cruft, but it's nevertheless not that hard to understand.
As if they knew what the EU needs.

Britain always pushed for more liberalization. See where it led them. They were able to push for what their GDP needed, alright.
I think the toughest part in being an entrepreneur is dealing with our own emotions. Some days it feels like we're spinning the wheel going nowhere. When I find myself in these situations, I remind myself to be patient and set small daily goals that contribute to the big picture. It's hard to see the big picture sometimes, but you just gotta keep marching on.

I'm also curious to hear how other entrepreneurs deal in similar situations.
I think a big chunk of Americans almost want it to be a police state, so they have something to fight against.

It makes me think of Sam Altman's recent article about Trump. He said he was taking some risk by writing that, and some commenters here praised his bravery in taking a public stand on this. It's ridiculous. Bravery would be a prominent techie taking a stand for Trump. He's not going to suffer any consequences for publishing that. Nobody's going to knock on his door and haul him off at 3AM, or deny him entrance into any organizations, or even shoot him dirty looks on the street.
Can anyone with direct and frequent experience with Amazon Drive comment on how well the product's been working out for them overall?

I've just been playing with its interface a little bit, and although its interface is unquestionably pretty clunky (both web and desktop app), it does seem like a I could save money by moving to its $60 unlimited plan. I currently use a set of S3 buckets, which is great in that it scales with use, but I'm about to cross the $5/month threshold.

Edit: The biggest missing feature so far seems to be something akin to a folder sync. When re-uploading a directory, it seems to be able to skip files that it knows it already has, but I'm not sure if it can delete files that have subsequently been removed locally.
It may be people in America or China want to know a little more about the EU now that the fear campaign is in full.
