Everyone on HN always rattles of the "perfect is the enemy off good" mantra when it comes to getting something out there, so they can iterate.

A major fucking company takes the same approach, to provide its massive user base with additional functionality and improved privacy, improves the service over time, and people still want to claim it's all about "no one uses it by choice"

UK Government has forced some different rules on unions around voting for strike action.

That's probably a good thing. A union probably shouldn't be able to strike with 51% of a 22% turnout.

So it would have been nice to see similar standards for the referendum.

> if he let the people decide on such a super topic as leave/remain in the EU

To reiterate what al_chemist has already said, the price for UKIP supporting the Tories to form government was holding this referendum. It wasn't a lark on the part of the Tories. Not even Farage thought UKIP would win - the BBC had quoted him stating they weren't going to win on the morning of the vote.
That all depends on where you get the raw foods. Ripe tomatoes just picked from the vine are an entirely different experience than ones that are picked hard and green, shipped hundreds of miles, and then allowed to turn red before they are stocked on the grocery store shelf. Add to that the fact that grocery stores generally only stock varieties of produce that ship well and look nice, rather than ones that are grown specifically for flavor. The same applies to virtually all produce, in my experience.

Cameron steps down in October. A new Prime Minister will then initiate leaving the EU (per Treaty of Lisbon I think). This will take at least two years, possibly longer.

A whole lot of people missed your point and for some reason are trying to play semantics with history.
"The rich don't have everything because they don't bid for everything,"

No, they can't bid for everything. It's a critical distinction to understanding how the economy works. It is impossible to create a single entity that buys everything, or a single entity that has all the money, permanently. It's literally nonsensical; the result is a form of "money" that may have the name on it, but no longer has any of the properties we associate with money.

You appear to be proposing a model where the rich are voluntarily not buying everything up for some reason. Which is probably just an element of your model that you haven't examined, because my guess is that as soon as you consciously examine that, you'll experience some cognitive dissonance because I bet you also model rich people as intrinsically greedy, and thus having no reason to voluntarily not grab resources.

People are really bad at following through the implications of models. They make a model, figure that the model touches reality in one or two places, then decide the model must be correct. But reality is pretty darned big, and it's really, really hard to fit "reality" into a simple model. Correct models must match reality everywhere, not just a few points. Useful models must match reality in more than just a couple of places.

Follow the model's implications through.... if Rich Bob really can outbid Poor Alice for a glass of water, then why isn't the world actually full of dehydrated poor people? (Not that some people do occasionally dehydrate to death, often for reasons only loosely related to wealth issues... all the poor people should be dehydrated because the rich people are, after all, constantly outbidding them for water, apparently.)

The very act of answering that question must, with mathematical force, also demonstrate why the model that produced the question in the first place is irredeemably broken. If the model is that irredeemably broken, then the question is also broken, and what it is trying to imply is also false.

(Which, again, is why this result is not "well known". It's, well, not true. The fact that markets are not perfect does not mean that all criticisms of the market are automatically true.)
Netflix is a rather specific example — don't they use Silverlight (as in "the only site anyone in the world cares about that uses Silverlight"?)

It's like Apple stressing how well their browser works on -- oh wait, Apple doesn't produce a proprietary plugin. Well, let's say the iTunes page, if it were specifically tuned to work well in Safari.
When you say things like that on less-jokey forums such as this one you look sillier than the people you're trying to mock. Just a heads up.

I agree with you, but I am curious about which specific real-world examples are you thinking of. It would be great if you can describe one or two.
The British are Googling what the E.U. is, hours after voting to leave it
Or, it's possible it just so happens his views on a key issue coincided with the views of a majority of the people who voted (and the turnout was large, and it's not as if when things go your way in elections you vacillate by thinking of the opposition who didn't vote).

It feels like this borders on elitism. That the people don't know what they want. I don't often see a similar sentiment when people vote along with the views of the elite (questioning sanity and motives).

Thanks! This is a great description of what I think Alan is trying to describe. The issue most people seem to be facing is that they are trying to map his ideas of messaging onto their current conceptions of what software should look like, instead of stepping back (way back) and saying - how would a bunch of Universal Turing Machines communicate? Software today is fixed functionality - once it's written it can only be changed with great pain. What if we made meaning and interpretation of messages 'late-bound'?
> It's dumb beyond understanding, but it's a nice insight in how much of the lessons learned during the last two world wars have been forgotten.

It's a cycle - every 3 generations like clockwork. The generation that goes to war comes back swearing "never again", their children grow up hearing war stories, but everything is going well around them as they grow up. Their children's' children have long forgotten the lessons of conflict, and proceed to uproot the trees their grandparent planted. Rinse and repeat.

Here are my personal options for 2d games, based on my personal background(I developed Flash games):

- Construct2 is you want to create simple games without writing code. Simple to do standard games, hard if you need more control or more complex data structures. It contains exporters for different platform including mobiles(using html5 wrapper to execute html code, based on phonegap or something similar).

- GameMaker - quite similar to Construct2, a bit more powerful and it requires to write more code than Construct2, unfortunately in their own language. You can export games for different platforms(unlike Construct2 it generates and compile the code for each platform in native code) and for html. Each exporter should be brought so it makes this option the most expensive.

- CreateJS - the Adobe Html5 alternative. It recreates the class hierarchy from action3 flash, in html5 js. A tentative to recreate Flash in Html5, good enough. It has the advantage that it can export Flash graphics including vector graphics in an html library which can be used imported in your project.

- Phaser - A nice framework based/inspired/not an exact port of Flixel. It has nice features and it was written only for games so I would say generally it's better than CreateJS, in the same way Flixel was better than plain AS3. It can be combined with Pixi.js to webgl rendering.

- OpenFl - a flash inspired library written in Haxe. The advantage is that it can generate and compile the game in native code for virtually any platform that matters including HTML5. It can even import and use flash objects for graphics.

- LibGDX - write it in java, deploy it on multiple platforms, including html. It uses OpenGl for rendering, for the html export they use Google GWT to translate java code to javascript. It sounded for me as an interesting approach.

My advice is to pick one option and to go for it(the list is far away of being exhaustive). If you have java experience you can check CreateJS or OpenFl, if you want a codeless engine, Construct2 is more popular among html devs than GameMaker.

P.S. It seems Phaser can be easily used with ecma6.
I'm not meaning when the comprehension is invoked, but during each iteration of the loop within the comprehension.

When doing something like `map(lambda x: 2+x, range(100))`, there will be 101 frames created: the outer frame, and 100 for each invocation of the lambda.

Whereas `[2+x for x in range(100)]` will only create 2: one for the outer frame, and one for the comprehension.

you can't just take the well behaved subset of the US population and then compare it to an other country on the whole. Thats ridiculous.

You would need to do the same segmentation of the English population, and compare like segments.
A bare majority of the people, with some outright whoppers of lies told by the side that won. This is a "change the constitution" level of change, and it's been done with a pretty slim majority. Usually a country will require a 2/3rds majority or similar to make such a significant legal change.
I'm by no means an expert, but from my limited understanding there isn't so much an EU "authority" that prevents this, but rather a large group of rules that each country agreed to. In particular, the agreement that protects greece from protectionism is really just an agreement by the member countries to set things like tariffs exclusively by mutual agreement. In other words: it's all or nothing (within the vagaries all kinds of legalese); so no; greece cannot go it alone without exiting the union.
> Does it ring a bell? It's not like it hasn't happened
> thousands of times throughout history.

While that is true, what about the ideas of Buddha in the sutras? There are several sutras which deal with this particular thing, and how violence was overcome with non-violence. And if you think "that won't work!", I want to point out that of all the civilizations on this planet which came and went, only the Chinese and the Vedic survived to this present day; they even fought and won their independence from the vast and mighty British empire with civil disobedience and non-violence! The Vedic civilization gave us the concept of Chakra wheel of Dharma, the Dharmaraja, and buddha, which anyone can become.

If anyone knows what a violent war is, it's us, Europeans. Isn't that all the more reason we should turn to civil disobedience and non-violence, instead of repeating the same mistakes, over and over and over again?

In a way, what the English did by voting to exit the european union is a form of civil disobedience, sending a very clear signal to Bruxelles, and the EU government's rigidiy and unwillingness to reform. And for that, for being peacefully disobedient, for sending a signal, that's worthy of respect.

His fault and 52% of the voting public.
I met teachers whose grading philosophy was that the results has to form a normal distribution across the pool of students. If we're adopting that then we're having grades denoting a relative quality not an absolute one (which pretty much everyone assumes). The author may be right in her implication of faulty grading, but the evolution of grade concentrations over the span of many student generations does not necessarily denote an existing issue. The education got better over the years, maybe the results are from increased learning and teaching efficiency. Was there a test taken both now and 60 years ago and considered their respective grading results in the drawn conclusion? And finally, I don't want to criticize the author, but the idea of "world without grades" is just silly. Grades are the result of a measurement and the measurement in itself is something valuable everywhere, including in education. The author could have had a more limited claim, by only denouncing current grading practice performed at the same institutions that do the teaching.

I refer you to this resource aimed at junior schools. Should be at your level:

http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/questi...
Yeah, it's basically the same as a youtube link.
It depends. Yes economics (both New Keynesians and Monetarist) would predict this but not for the reason you stated. The input does not have to be external, you just need a central bank to keep up demand (think NGDP). If you are in a system where you can not do that (as in the case of Greece) then you have a major problem.

The Keynesians believe that you can increase demand by government spending but that was not an option for Greece anyway. The EU would have to pay for it but its hard to do that and do fiscal reforms at the same time.

The only solution you have left is really harsh reforms, and most importantly wage cuts. A flexible labor system is the best defence against extend recession. Check out some of the Baltic states, they took pretty harsh wage cuts. They were lucky that they did not yet have such large governments and debt that this could be done and they did not have to face default at the same time.

Greece was institutionally not capable of these things, and their situation was bad to begin with.

The should have defaulted and set up a tmp government in 2008 that could do sweeping reforms. Had they had a high change of being more or less stable right now. But the EU is against that and Greece was faced with the impossible task of both do structural reforms, debt payback and terrible monetary policy from the ECB. Its an economic shit show of epic proportions.
I mean, the issue with Chinese shipping capacity is definitely covered in the article. The BDI result being discussed is about a sharp and protracted drop that's not aligned with China's production.

So the question: how do we reconcile these two things? Chinese capacity doesn't explain the drop, but BDI doesn't match the core "containers shipped" data you cite. Is Los Angeles' shipping somehow exceptional? Or is something else going on?

Could you imagine the uproar it would bring if Google announced tomorrow that they would be testing people for alcohol consumption?

The fact that marijuana is considered unethical/immoral, and to be a Drug, while alcohol is not, is entirely arbitrary.

Furthermore, as others have said, maybe the unethical issue at hand is actually the fact that your employer is requesting to collect information about you about what you do with your own personal free time.
I get the psychology behind it - it increases impulsive spending - but to tell the users that it's the number one requested feature and then say 'yeah, fuck you'... that's pretty poor.

I highly recommend giving Lua a try, it's a simple yet powerful little language(metatables, coroutines!) that embeds incredibly easily and has great performance.

Way back on the PSP we use to run our whole game logic with Lua in a 400kb pre-allocated block. You only had 8mb of system ram since 24mb went to texture/audio and it really worked great. Coroutines are also a perfect fit for try-wait-try logic you get in a lot of AI routines.
I don't understand your second sentence.

The Wikipedia article you link to states "The money received is first paid into the Government's Consolidated Fund. It is subsequently included in the 'vote' for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport in that year's Appropriation Act, and passed back to the BBC for the running of the BBC's own services (free from commercial advertisements)."

How do you see this as "no government funding"?

> I've always been reasonably confident that if I'm out of the country, the American embassy will help me.

You and many Americans. Helpfully aided in that belief by TV programs like Beyond Borders where US authorities act as the World Police jumping into other countries and taking over investigations and rescuing US citizens from any and every scrape they get themselves into.

Outside your own country, your local authorities have very little ability to do much and certainly won't help you in any relatively minor scrapes (nor in most major ones either). Although the US exerts more external influence than it really should, that's limited to guarding US interests (like copyright protection or drug related things).

Unless you happen to be key to US national interest, you'll be on your own, apart from a visit in prison from the embassy staff to let you know that they know you're there - just like the citizens of every other country, as Andrew Nõmm found out.

Imagine two solutions to a problem.

One has a main procedure that orchestrates itself and other code to work things out and do things. This is the way most people organize their problems into code.

The second is a set of independent intelligent concepts (objects) that work together to work things out and do things. The objects work together only by sending messages to each other. There is no central code orchestrating them into a solution.

I don't recall anyone ever claiming that computers or simulations are separate from the real universe. Dualists make similar claims, but they usually claim their non-physical quackery doesn't apply to computers. So, I don't know what point you're trying to make.
