I can't resist sharing this French headline:

Les députés européens socialistes français estiment que la victoire annoncée du Brexit est "l'échec d'une Europe exclusivement dédiée au marché intérieur"

Translation: the French socialist members of European parliament think that the victory of Brexit is the "failure of a Europe solely dedicated to free trade".

Free trade is the only thing UKIP or the euro-sceptic tories want to keep from the EU. There is a fundamental cultural gap between the UK and Continental Europe countries.
"Except for the inconvenient fact that the cerebellum is not explicitly solving control theory equations."

It might be. You can invert a model by training a neural net to compute its inverse.
But keep in mind the bad news has just started. I'm sure there will an initial bounce back, but then we're facing two years of uncertainty.
I'm pretty sure he just stated that both socialists and fascist want centralization of power. I'm pretty sure that's not a debatable stance. It doesn't imply that if you're a socialist then you must be fascist. That'd be a logical fallacy.

Just as if I said, "soccer moms and skin-heads both breathe air". Should soccer moms feel attacked? Am I name calling? Of course not.

How is messaging different than calling a method?
12 million was at the peak of the war, the number you want is at the start of the war, when Hitler felt he had enough troops to invade with.

I tried to quickly find the numbers, but had no luck. It was 100,000 in 1931 (scaled back from WW I) and was supposed to be tripled through recruitment before Hitler started conscription.
But they can simply reestablish deals regarding people as well. Plenty of countries have deals regarding movement of people.

And Switzerland even has a deal with the EU that allows the exact same movement of people as if they were a member.
This is completely different. This is a nation voting to leave a supranational union
To some extend, yes, it is 'bigoted'. Someone needs to stock shelves, and someone with a lower education from Eastern Europe might be more willing to do it. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the blue-collar workers all ended up with a job, paying tax, while the people with a degree ended up in perpetual job hunting, living partially off social services of various sorts.

What we need to avoid is that people end up living off social services, and it's very difficult to know who ends up having a job, who ends up climbing the ropes and making something big out of themselves, and who just ends up lying in the gutter on the street. You definitely cannot tell this solely by education or origin - you'll only know when it happens.
If the EU had been able to control its borders this would never have happened. Unfortunately it proved itself singularly incapable of dealing with even that task, having to cosy up to a dictator like Erdogan. There are too many bleeding hearts in European politics.
This, and they also realized they had leftover RAM.
I mean, yes, they would like to make it bad for them to discourage others from leaving the EU. But will they really have the leverage to do that?

The UK is too big a trading partner of those countries for them to truly threaten any substantial denial of trade.
I'm a huge fan of J, which is a descendant of APL, and has a libre implementation. I think it offers many of the same advantages in learning the array programming "paradigm", and has a few tricks of its own.
Percentage wise, slim, but if we talk numbers, over 1 million people voted to leave. 1 million more people is a lot of people
> Working people feel all the negative impact of open borders and so-called "free trade", and the 1% gets all the gains from it.

How does the 1% gain from the Working Time Directive?
Trump and AfD at least seem to look at Russia more favourably than the incumbent leaders. Is that an accurate assessment?
>I have 3 people who now work in China, and they seem to have had no problems with getting work permits in there.

I have myself worked in China thus I know the process (well, the process 16 years ago). Yes, it is easy for a professional who goes there to be a well-paid expat. Income differences are huge in China. But the forms really look like the Chinese are concerned about immigration of people who come there to exploit the welfare state (even if it is actually rather non-existent).
I do agree with you but is not that obvious...

Apparently it looks like the English dont grasp this idea...
I find your opinion very shocking. You seem to picture Farage as a new Stalin or Hitler? I don't buy this. Farage is no extremist. Immigration is hurting Europe.

A country needs social cohesion to have a strong government. Mass-immigration without integration breaks down social cohesion. I see it happen in my country (The Netherlands). Immigration at the current scale is not sustainable. Many immigrants are from backwards societies and don't adapt. Even worse, our government expects us to adapt to the immigrants way of life (just this week in Germany some nudists were prohibited from walking nude, because an asylum centrum was being build nearby the nudist camp and they might take offence [0]).

The governments of countries try to keep tensions between immigrants under wraps, especially in asylum centra. Often the guards in these centra are muslims so share the same ideas as the majority of immigrants. Woman are sometimes forced into prostitution under watchful eyes of the guards [1]. Christian & Yezidi immigrants have to hide their religion or be threatened with violence [2][3]. This kind of stuff certainly is happening in The Netherlands and Germany. Yesterday in my hometown (Dordrecht) some Kurdish people celebrated their children graduated and put out the Dutch and Kurdish flag [4]. They were threatened by about 30 Turkish people to remove flag and windows were thrown in. In retaliation other people attacked the Turkish mosque in Dordrecht [5].

In another town, last week people from Jewish decent put the Jewish flag outside their home to celebrate graduation of their son. But they too were threatened by Moroccan people to remove the flag immediately [6].

More and more Jews are leaving Europe for Israel [7]. Europe is not save anymore for Jews as more and more muslim immigrants enter Europe. In The Netherlands every synagoge has permanent security and I imagine in many other European countries it's the same. In some way an ethnic cleansing of Jews in Europe is happening right now.

We're importing tribal warfare and values into Europe on a massive scale [8]. Apparently 1 in 4 Swedish woman will be raped and the main culprits are immigrants, by a very large amount [9].

This decision feels very much like it's on the wrong side of history, but perhaps that's just the denial.
Sure, but 2 centuries is a little long.

There's lots of little and big reforms possible to help the productivity of the economy. Of course, most of them are politically infeasible in most countries.

I wonder about the long term effect of these reforms. I am afraid there will be mostly one-off linear factors, and not contributing much to higher future growth.

(My argument rests on the observation that eg the poster child Singapore is rich, but not pulling ahead more-and-more.)
The author is an unreliable narrator. He mentions many incongruous aspects of his experience that just can't be true. For example, he says he waited in line next to people in SurveyMonkey t-shirts, but he worked at Google from 08-09. SurveyMonkey was only in Portland at that time.
Yeah, so what? UK will keep importing after brexit even if trade agreements change... UK will import at higher prices maybe. Else, where will they get the merchendise from?

On the other hand, EU could import less from UK, since (probable) taxes will increase the price => EU will consume more from it's own production and have less imports from UK. So to me, if it's about jobs, UK jobs are at risk, not EU.
Unlike Scotland, Greater London has boroughs that voted for the exit: Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Havering, Hillingdon and Sutton.
Greece could have had it way, way worse. Ask the Argentinians, ask the Bulgarians who lived through the 1990s (I remember some of them passing the border to us (I'm from Romania) in order to sell whatever they had around the house just to have that extra cash that would pay the bills), ask us, Romanians, ask the Russians who lived through the inflation of the early '90s. You'd get only one answer: If you think things can't get worse than a certain point then you're wrong.
But would they risk 1.5 Million Jobs just because the want to prove an example? Never, money runs the world.
Those people have embraced the idea of repressive tolerance and would proudly turn away religious pro-gun Trump supporters.
I'm a Finn, and always thought that UK could be an interesting place to live some day. This decision completely destroys that possibility because moving to a non-EU country is not a realistic option -- I wouldn't go out of my way to look for bureaucratic headaches. Since the UK doesn't want people like me, I guess it will increasingly become another place I never think about.

This was a major win for isolationism, but it's not clear to me why an island wants to be increasingly isolated. When you're already geographically isolated, wouldn't you want to try to compensate against that by reducing mental isolation rather than actively reinforcing it?

Ultimate independence is when people forget you exist at all.
I completely agree. 2% of the population deciding something of this magnitude is ridiculous.

There's a phenomenon called "ant circle" in which ants form a self-reinforcing circle of pheromone trails, causing their entire colony to collapse.

Hearing the way Alan Kay talks about "messaging" always reminds me of two technologies: the Flux/Redux architecture and Apache Samza & Kafka.

> The key in making great and growable systems is much more to design how its modules communicate rather than what their internal properties and behaviors should be.

With React and Flux, this is exactly what's going on! You're defining view components, and when someone interacts with them, there's a very structured, discrete set of actions that can be fired. These actions are then dispatched and handled elsewhere, but somewhere at the core, there's a single source of truth for what happens upon any given message.

And for Apache Samza, I think this video[1] does a nice job of talking about stream processing as a programming architecture. There's a connection to be made between processing streams of information and processing messages between modules, and that video goes a good way towards exposing it.

It would be more useful if the list has inbound/2-way, raw PDU, long/shortcode, sender ID etc.
It implies more flexibility, like generically accepting messages, passing them on without knowing anything about them etc.

The UK had a good deal. They had what Norway has, plus actual influence as a full member, plus many opt-outs. They've rejected it. What kind of good deal would they even be looking for?
I'm not sure I agree. Rightly or wrongly, EU immigration, not african/middle-east migrants, was at the centre of the debate, Polish immigration in particular. I personally do not think that Polish immigration hurts the UK in any way, other than by increasing the strain on housing, and which has more to do with planning restrictions. But it is true that with close to a million Poles immigrating in less than 5 years, it is very much noticeable.
Which is what Greece, Italy etc would be doing if they weren't in the Euro. Germany wouldn't devalue as that involves increasing money supply which would drive inflation, the German post war banking system is built to have a massive fear of inflation.
Which talking head demagogues - the ones scaremongering in support of Remain, or the ones favoring Leave?

And are you actually saying that such important decisions shouldn't be left up to voters? If so, then should choosing leaders be left up to voters?

It seems pretty clear that many (not all) of those who voted Leave were in fact telling the EU and the scaremongering demagogues for Remain, "Fuck you." And some other portion (the sets probably overlap) were saying something like, "This EU thing isn't working out like you said it would, so we want out." Not, "I don't know what I want."
They do need the HQ for tax reasons but they wouldn't need to hire that many people (more than in London for example). They do that because they want to.

Welcome to recession, England. You voted for it.
I don't know how you come to that conclusion. The UK has a trade deficit with the EU, which means we buy more from the EU than we sell to it. From the EU perspective, the UK is a good customer. Like it or not that counts for something.

It's unclear. I'm not sure if he said something explicit either way. In his speech proposing a Council of Europe and a Unite States of Europe, he says that Great Britain and the British Commonwealth of Nations and others should be friends of the new Europe, but when the Council of Europe was first created, and Churchill was actively part of that, the UK became part too.

He also at one point proposed outright union between the UK and France.

The important thing to consider, with respect to his United States of Europe speech though, is that when Churchill spoke of this, the UK still had an empire - it was a super-state, though one in decline, and the Commonwealth still meant something more than a loose association. He was speaking from a position where the UK was already "spoken for" so to speak.

Yet over the years afterwards he was one of the driving forces of European integration, including for the UK, but of course he did not see how far it was going.
Trump is 70, Clinton is 68, and both are well past the US retirement age. You should fully expect that until the boomer generation dies major candidates will just get older (look at Mccain, and Romney was also past retirement age when he ran for president (65). Obama was fairly unique in being so young at just 46. The trend is retirees run for president, and retirees vote for them.

Even the house and senate reflect these trends. The average age of a senator went from ~53 in 1980 to ~63 today. The house went from 49 to 57. For over a century the average was stagnant between 50 and 55 and only now is it going off the chart.

These people simply do not retire. They will die in office with dementia but they are certainly not stepping down and their voting base will have nothing less than their own in office until they are all in the ground.
The map here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/eu_referendum/results is pretty frightening for the UK - Scotland will demand another independence referendum. This time they will win and it's the end of the United Kingdom.

Would you care to elaborate?
Seems pretty cool. I host several static web sites on S3 and am pretty happy with the results. I am presuming that this toolset will make collaboration and organisation of said sites much better.

Question - How well does it work if the S3 website is linked to a CloudFront CDN? Does it take care of asset versioning or URL invalidations when updates are done? That is by far the most tedious part of S3 Web + CloudFront for me. I just invalidate the whole site from top down whenever I make changes just to make sure I don't miss anything, but a more automated, granular approach would be better, and I am hoping that Prismic can assist?

I mean lets not kid ourselves. Trump is a fascist.

Also , acting on emotion rather than reason and whipping up extreme sentiments against outsiders are the harbingers of fascism.
Roughly just over a half is immigration from within the EU
You're comparing a volunteer army in peacetime with a conscripted army fighting a total war on two fronts. In 1944, the Nazis had been at war for 5 years and had spent a further 5 years before that militarizing German society.

Before Hitler broke the Versailles treaty in 1935, the German army was limited to only 100,000 members -- fewer than today. It took less than a decade to mobilize to the extent you describe. It happened then, it can happen today.
"Do you know how many German cars are sold in the UK each year?"

So what you are saying is that brits will stop buying German/EU cars? Where are they going to buy their cars from? It's not like UK has some meaningfull car making industry, they moved all factories away. Not everyone can buy an Aston Martin.

I think that as long as the price for an EU car will be just below the price for importing an equivalent car from US or Asia, brits will have no other choice but to buy from Germans, even with new taxes added.
One more thing: the UK was the official reason English is one of the languages of the EU (same as, on paper at least, with all the other languages). It will require some more fiddling to keep it so.
But this is not repeatable.
"Trade curbs" are not within the discussion. But without EU regulations applying to Britain, you can't simply continue international trade without additional costs. Even without additional taxes, there is a lot of added cost in bureaucracy and handling.

$4 trillion a day changes hands on the foreign exchange market, and half of that is in London. England is going to be OK, people. Project Fear has been voted down, after all.
Very believable to me. Sinn Fein has predictably already called for a vote in Northern Ireland. Calls are growing for a second referendum in Scotland. There are even those wanting independence for London...

Scottish independence is likely - the question is just how firm the polls need to be before the SNP go there again.

...through stupid yes/no referenda. No voters included people opposed to the whole idea, people disagreeing with some small part and also people who thought it didn't go far enough, but mainly people who wanted to protest the national government at the time, as usual.

The Netherlands has unfortunately become much more Eurosceptic since, but let's not conclude too much from those referenda.
> Every political decision ends up being a race of the well-educated against the less-educated.

The less-educated perceive that the well-educated have been giving them a raw deal, and looking at outcomes it's hard to think they're wrong. They also breed more, so there are more of them.
The idea is that the EU is a lot less sensitive to losses in the trade volume.

I might be wrong but wasn't one of the arguments made to Scotland to stay in the UK that they need it for the upcoming referendum on decision whether the UK is going to enter the EU or exit the EU. Scotland for sometime voiced their desire for the UK to stay in the EU.
Nothing potential about it - your bank account is worth 10% less than it was yesterday.
One reason the EU stumbled so much was that there was one large member country that opted out of many of the bigger EU projects. Maybe with the UK gone, it will be easier for the EU to get things done. But it's more likely to lead to a complete disintegration of the EU with more countries leaving.
