It isn't a language freeze but a comparability promise.

"It is intended that programs written to the Go 1 specification will continue to compile and run correctly, unchanged, over the lifetime of that specification. At some indefinite point, a Go 2 specification may arise, but until that time, Go programs that work today should continue to work even as future "point" releases of Go 1 arise (Go 1.1, Go 1.2, etc.)."

Granted that means it is effectively a freeze on backwards incompatible changes, but it does leave the door open for additions to the language.

Having said that, the go authors are definitely very conservative with language changes.

> Every power structure is co-optable by large corporations and special interests. The Leave leaders are no different.

Quite the opposite, and an old Murdoch quote resurfaced[0] covering exactly that:

> I once asked Rupert Murdoch why he was so opposed to the European Union. “That’s easy,” he replied. “When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice.”

I'm biased, but I'm going to say this anyway, since I've spent the morning talking to former colleagues living as expats in the UK and to a couple of the local nearshoring gigs, which are also in shock: if you're coming to Lisbon for the Web Summit this year, take the time to investigate the Portuguese startup ecosystem - a lot has changed recently, and if Brexit bottoms out the tech industry in the UK the option of coming back home might be feasible.

Here's a quick primer:

Also wondering, thanks!
I've never had a high opinion of a divided Europe, mostly because of the two world wars that started there. The problems driving the brexit will not suddenly get better now.

I'll put it this way: has economic isolationism ever made a country better off in the history of history? I can't think of a time.

Have you more info on this? That is a pretty amazing observation. Did you mention it to anyone?
This offer is really strange.

It claims lot of guaranties for your data (99,999999999% durability).

It claims to be secure against all natural and human destruction, despite being located in only one datacenter, 25 meters under the ground, in Paris, which means it could be subject to floods (directly or indirectly).

It claims to be able to handle formats that don't exist yet (for example, LTO-1 to LTO-10, the most recent version of the media being LTO-7).

It claims (with a footnote) to be able to handle "Secret Défense" data, which is extremely dubious. "Secret Défense" is the second most restricted classification in France. It's for highly sensitive information. Companies dealing with "Secret Défense" have to put many security measures in place (proper access control, separated networks, personnel habitation by the government, physical protection, tracking of every copy of every documents...) and are regularly audited by the government. The penalties for messing with that kind of data are pretty harsh, you could spend several years in prison if you publish an SD or just a CD (Confidentiel Défense) document, even accidentally.

Even if it's clearly targeting backup of state related data, it doesn't seem to have been audited by the ANSSI (french National Agency for Computer Security).

What is weird is that Online is a well established company (the parent company, Iliad is 4 billions euros in revenue).

London will give up its position as "world financial capital," I would think. That always seemed a bit odd, and now that they're losing one of their main advantages...
This would be better discussed privately because it is asking for legal advice on a complex and nuanced matter without my having all the facts.
The bar for 01 (called Evidentiary Criteria) is much much lower.

I know of several people who went the O1 route and basically the process was this:

- A job offer with a "high" salary (basically it seemed anything over 100k would do the trick)

- Judged a hackathon

- "News" coverage of the hackathon

Then a big check to the immigration attorney who wrap it up in a bunch of legalese and send it off to the immigration officials who don't have enough knowledge or insight to question any of it.
> And yet, AWS itself doesn't natively support IPv6

Public ELBs support it. And even if you're only using one instance behind the ELB, its $14/month for that ELB. No one needs IPv6 on backend instances if they're only talking to the outside world through ELBs.

EDIT: I'm wrong.

A reasonable outcome would be for the UK to join EFTA [1]. That should be pretty much neutral with regard to commerce.

> Apple's "solution" seems to be (and I can't recall if it was even directly described as such) "we're moving to a world where cellular data will be the same as Wifi, so..."

Seems like a good assumption. In fact, an increasing number of lower income households have no household wifi and instead use only LTE on their phones. Not sure how they could use an Xbox this way.

> Except here's a fun fact for you. Did you know the same amount of money will buy you _less than half_ the data package in 2016 from AT&T and Verizon as it would have bought you in 2012?

Why I have kept my unlimited data skag on AT&T even though I have to forego tethering.

And even if the metered offer would be cheaper per my actual usage, I know that usage is trending inexorably upwards.
Profiling Crystal code on OS X
I enjoyed watching a few of his videos but because they are all live streams they are obviously not edited so sometimes there are mistakes or sections where not much happens.

My biggest complaint is that he spends a lot of time setting up his dev environment that I found to be super confusing for a newcomer. I am an experienced dev and couldn't understand why he spent so much time mucking around with writing batch files and setting up emacs instead of just encouraging new users to just use Visual Studio where you can click compile and run and the setup takes 5 minutes instead of 2 screencasts.
> You make the EU sound like an abusive spouse. "Don't leave me or I'll hurt you!"

The UK decided that it could tell the EU to get fucked and get all the benefits of the relationship without any of the drawbacks, it is not in the EU's interest to confirm that and it has very little reason to bend over for the UK. To reuse your ménage analogy, it's more like one spouse deciding to up and go and asking for the house, car, accounts and still being invited to christmas and family dinners.

> When ... in one state of the US, you are ... granted [a] lot of fundamental rights and freedoms. In my eyes, the EU was very much about the same thing.

That is absolutely what the UK has never wanted from the EU. I would wager a good chunk of the Remain voters would have voted against a 'US of E'.
why is it a challenge?
Performance boost and cost savings for DynamoDB
Exactly this. One of the illusions of control people have is that Britain now has a free hand to negotiate trade agreements with EU member states. The EU charter expressly forbids this. So Britain (or perhaps merely a rump England after Northern Ireland and Scotland EExit) will be dealing with that same body but on unequal ground with other member states. Meet the new boss: Same as the old boss. I'm pretty sure you've been fooled (again).
Just because the vote was counted at the level of voting districts doesn't mean those districts are having different referendums. It was a single referendum across the whole country.
Content has almost always sold hardware in the video game industry. Look at all of the exclusive content for Nintendo consoles. Or how many people bought XBox's for the sole purpose of playing Halo.

Sure, most VR hardware options may technically be peripherals for PCs, but at a cost of several hundred dollars or more, it isn't in the same category as PC mouses or joysticks. The way I see it, VR hardware is essentially a standalone device that connects to PCs, simply so that many people won't need to buy that too, saving them $1k-2k.

Creating exclusive games and buying exclusive content licensing/distribution rights for any gaming platform, especially ones in stiff competition for early adopters and the lion's share of a new market, is a great business decision. If Oculus hadn't secured exclusive content, people would have simply bought whichever hardware worked better, or shipped first. In this case, most people would have likely bought the Vive. Oculus knew that superior content is the tie-breaker and can even overshadow slight technological shortcomings, if they exist.

Oculus should never have reversed their plans to keep the content exclusive. Now, many people will just buy Vives and use them to play Oculus-subsidized content. Oculus could have created a great monopoly. Now I suspect they will have serious difficulty building a sustainable business. Peter Thiel is on Facebook's board and Marc Andreessen is on both Facebook's and Oculus's board. I can't imagine either one would support reversing the decision to make exclusive content.
I am surprised, given the age of AWS, that they didn't go completely V6 internally from the get go.
Cold brew at the Starbucks in Zurich airport is CHF8 (~$8)
Even better: I aeropress onto a cocktail shaker with ice, then shake the hell out of it. The coffee get's very cold much faster, and I just throw out the ice and sometimes put nice new cubes in at the end. The coffee comes out a bit frothy and tastes better than any variation I've bought.
What guidance would you give to a Canadian applying to YC who doesn't plan to stay in SF after demo day? Is it possible to work in SF for the duration of the program employed by the startup, or is it best framed as a holiday? Can one pay oneself, or pay for expenses, in that time?
The gross procedural violations and disgusting behaviour of our (New Zealand) government have helped his case at this point. The judiciary have taken a pretty dim view of John Key's teams' antics.
I never had a formal university education, what are my real chances of being accepted for a work visa.

I think that I'm pretty good but and have a pretty interesting CV probably not "extraordinary".

What are the chances of me working in the USA? Does it really nullify my chances?

I have been working since I was 17 in jobs related and then very specific to programming, I'm 28 now.

I also have a uruguayan and spanish/european nationality, which would be better for an application?
Of course, as people have been at pains to point out, trying to get a deal like that involves paying the EU money and adopting a bunch of "damned Brussels regulations", but now with no voice in the European Parliament.

On my side I've experimented in the code a bunch with the number of goroutines as well as the number of different CPUs handling the requests, and although they seem to alter the nature of the image the program still produces output in a reasonable amount of time for most non-pathological values.

As to scheduling v. random functions, much of what I like about the original is that the scheduling is completely out of my hands and it's not guaranteed to be consistently distributed or reproducible. It's as though the computer were making its own decisions.

I have a project started to rewrite the whole thing in c++ using random and using entirely Manhattan distance estimations for speed, but working with C++ is incredibly unpleasant and difficult to justify when I need to find a real job.
...except when those orders are to build something innocuous.

If someone told me to build some filesharing software and give it to them, making me responsible for the content is absurd. Its basically the legal equivalent of holding Dropbox developers responsible for piracy.

The only difference is Megaupload was public and blatant enough in English-speaking media (of which the programmer was not a native speaker) for Americans to say "Yes, he should have known what it is for."
This reminds me of my main concern with GraphQL, namely that I could never find a good example showing how you weave security within a request. The examples I saw made me feel uncomfortable. Like, the client requests progressed further than I felt they should.

My typical approach to securing REST APIs is to use guard clauses + white lists. This is very explicit and easy to comprehend.

> to regain independence.

I hope that word doesn't stick. All EU countries are independent, as is the UK. For the sake of all 27 EU countries , please stop using divisive and wrong rhetoric.

> Long term, we now have control of our future.

I would like to hear one concrete way in which the future is going to be, after the negotiations, substantially different than what it is today.

> And can anyone on here really stand up for the idiotic cookie law? Can you stand up for the "html link tax"? That's just the tip of the iceberg with the meddling from the EU.

The cookie law and the lack of a small-business friendly common VAT policy are things to work on (html link tax does not exist), certainly not a reason for such a significant rift. OTOH, i hope you had stayed to enjoy zero data roaming fees within the next year.

> If you're pro-small business, then you should be excited about the opportunities we have now.

Sure. I use ebay.co.uk all the time, because apparently lots of sellers there willing to sell to the EU, and we have no import duties that way. Import duties is going to be a deal breaker for me. Exciting opportunities indeed.
> Perhaps the UK wanted to make choices

What choice? You can wish that the refugee crisis would not exist, but the choice has been made when deciding whether or not to be the 6th largest weapon exporter.

Acting like an overrun victim now is a bit schizophrenic and it's sad to see 52 percent small minded bigots pulling down a country in this way.
I would answer no to it - a blue collar worker from india absolutely deserves the same opportunity as a worker in Europe.

I agree, we are a long ways from the public accepting open borders. I just think its important to point out - as a society we have rejected racism, but we are blind to the fact that exclusionary nationalism is it's strict moral equivalent.

I would challenge anyone who disagrees to come up w/ an explanation why racism is immoral, that does not also apply to birthplace.
This may mean the breakup of the United Kingdom, too. Scotland and Northern Ireland mostly want to stay in Europe, and may choose to leave the UK, leaving Britain and Wales as the UK.[1]

As a practical matter, it will become harder to do business into the EU from Britain. Visiting the EU from Britain may require a visa, and visiting Britain from the EU almost certainly will.

This is really about Keeping Britain White.[2] "White Pride World Wide" used to be a joke from Stormfront. Now it's becoming mainstream policy. (See Trump campaign.)

I agree, it's a lot of money and we do have clients who handle their applications successfully on their own but these are generally clients in fields where there's lots of pre-existing evidence that does not need to be explained such as artists or athletes or widely published /cited scientists. Where the evidence needs to be explained or supported by expert opinion letters, an attorney probably should be involved. The EB1A filing fees are $580 for regular processing and $1805 for premium processing.
the American embassy will help me.

They will send a consular to make sure you aren't being mistreated while being detained. They will give you a list of english speaking attorneys you can retain for your trial. They may even call your family back home to wire money to your english speaking trial lawyer.

That is about all the help you will get. For this "service" you are expected to file taxes to the US no matter where you work.

During the Yemen civil war while every other country was frantically evacuating their citizens the US did nothing. They did issue a warning saying you should probably leave. A lot of US Citizens, working in foreign aid, found out exactly how far the US was willing to go, not very far at all. Not like how the movies portrays it at all.

(recalling verbatim from a friend): TN-1s are not available for "owners" of a business. Technically, ownership is defined as > X% of a business (X is some number I can't recall like 30 or 40). Recently, some Canadian founders have had their TN-1 revoked at the border at the discretion of the officer because they were founders, even though they didn't have sufficient % of shares to be owners as per the definition.
It's not like all of trade is going to stop there. Isolationism, more like sensationalism.
> subclassing==subtyping is unsound

Could you explain what you mean by that, and why you think it's true?
Well, they recognize a problem, the community and them just disagree on what the problem was. The community views the problem as exclusivity deals. Oculus/Facebook see the problem as bad PR causing them to miss out on exclusivity deals they'd like to make and ineffective DRM (to be clear it isn't the DRM that they view as the problem, but that it was apparently too easy to bypass the DRM). Oculus "fixed" the problem by removing the DRM check (which wasn't doing much anyway), which they're hoping will also clear up that little PR issue. Once people forget about all this and they build up their market dominance a bit more, they'll take another swing at exclusivity deals in the hope that they'll be big enough to force the developers they want into it despite the community backlash it will cause.

I suppose, semantically you are correct. I would suggest that a framework for mutually beneficial interaction (interdependence?) doesn't need a bureaucracy to be enforced. In fact, the need for a coercive third party proves the shortcomings of said framework.

If you assume the UK still participate in the single market, then the majority of the stuff you don't like about Europe are still going to be there. Except that the UK would have lost any kind of direct influence on its rules and regulations.

Otherwise, the UK will compete against other startup place like Berlin where any European can freely go. That's a huge pool of talent that is no longer directly accessible. Then for global talent the UK will still need to compete with place like the US.

It is not strange how it is spun. There are people that are paid to analyse the stuff you are talking about and they unanimous conclusion is that the outlook look bad short term, medium term and long term. My hope right now is that the next PM will be a cunning genius that will negotiate incredible deals for the UK and prove the economists and analysts were wrong. But let's face it, have you seen genius in the winners today: they all looked like like a kid that managed to stole the cookie jar and don't know what to do with it.
This is a much longer conversation but the short answer is that lack of formal education is not a bar to getting a US work visa. It's possible that you might have the equivalent based on your work experience for H1B purposes or even qualify for an O-1 visa.
I like this option so much better.
> No, free trade did that.

No, free trade did not do that, the seeds of the EU were sown at the Hague Congress for the express purpose of European integration as an antidote to nationalistic extremes. The Economic integration started being added with the Treaty of Rome.

It's more like one spouse saying "I'm leaving you, please don't hurt the children".

Brexit: Unleash the power within, but dont burn your feet
I'm not the OP, but as I understand it a founder of a company would be eligible for immigration on an EB-5 visa. From this website ( https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-job/gree... ), they would be eligible if they plan to create/preserve 10 jobs and invest $1m (or $500k in a "targeted high employment area". This is pretty similar to most developed nations--provide enough investment money and you can immigrate without much question.
Not the same. Both aim to project geopolitical power, sure, but US still a political entity in the western tradition where totalitarian rulers are not accepted, and Russia is of the eastern tradition where total rulers are admired and loved.
Most of europe falls to the western category (roughly).
There is a east/west divide in political sensibilities, it's as old as antiquity, I don't know where it's coming from, but it's a real effect.
