My guesses:

1) People had terrible teeth

2) Cooking devices were unreliable

3) Houses were cold so it was difficult to keep things warm without them continuing to cook & soften

4) People were accustomed to institutionalised cooking (boarding school, army, servants)

5) Bad practice was passed on through "Cultural acquisition"

3 Ingredients for Great Engineers
OP never claimed it wasn't easy to turn them off.
Maybe they feel threatened but that doesn't make their view necessarily realistic. They hate Russians out of a deep seated distrust that has its roots in historical Russian expansionism. Whilst I do understand why they think like this I also think their world view is not reflective of actual reality on the ground in the post-Soviet American expansionist world.
I've always said you don't become the president by being an idiot. Being rich (or your father being rich) only gets you so far.
Yeah, I agree with you. It's particularly frustrating for me, as I'm in Edinburgh where 74% voted remain.
This was after the democratically elected president of Ukraine was overthrown by undemocratic means (protests) and went into exile in Russia. This subtext is conveniently ignored because the president was pro-Russia.
Sure, there is a ton of US history to support it. Seemingly every historical book on the subject lays out the premise that it was a very widely held cultural belief (but not universally agreed to). I've read three books on the subject, and they all agree that it was a common populist belief. In fact, it was still a commonly held belief right up until essentially the cultural shift of the 1960s and 1970s.
I think maybe we just have an idealogical difference of opinion here, and that's fine.

It's my belief that if you take 10 similar people and give them a problem to solve, they'll all solve it the same way. Whereas if you take 10 different people and give them a problem to solve, they'll each individually be challenged to think differently and question their assumptions. If I ran a company I'd prefer the latter, because intuition tells me it will lead to the best answers (people questioning their opinions means thinking through whether they're as well founded as they hope, and teases out the problems with those opinions).

I think this innovation goes hand in hand with profitability. I'm not saying I wouldn't pick the creative driven innovative Harvard grad every time -- I'm saying I'd pick the creative driven innovative community college grad every time over the Harvard grad with the same background as everyone else in the company.

> Being able to do things well on paper is pretty important in 21st century US.

Except when it comes time to actually do work, it's not. The overlap in relevant skills between convincing people you're a good engineer and being a good engineer is very small. One is mostly about leveraging your background and social engineering, the other is about how you solve problems. While one could argue that being good on paper is good indicator of drive, I'd counter that a candidate with drive but without skills is less preferable than a candidate with skills.

According to the Brexit politicians they don't want isolationism, rather they want to open up the UK to the rest of the world. At the moment they have to privilege economic immigrants from the EU, and make it harder for high skilled workers to come to the country from the rest of the world. There will be a powerful political mandate to institute an Australian style points-based immigration policy ... this can be fine-tuned year on year to bring in the skills the UK needs, rather than an open door to the EU and barriers to everyone else. If you're a high skilled Norwegian worker you may find it easier to come and work and settle in the UK post Brexit than before. I don't think there's any question that the UK will continue with a high level of immigration.
I agree that the eurozone economies are very different, and I can't see how that will be resolved without dismantling the Euro or kicking some of the weaker economies out
> I'm not seeing a lot of news about how the pro-Brexit people feel about the dissolution of the UK. Surely they knew this was an outcome.

Want to know something darkly amusing? It's possible that they didn't. This is still anecdotal at this point, and of course the Remain side could be playing it up, but there are reports that at least some Leave voters intended it as a protest vote thinking it wouldn't actually happen: https://twitter.com/AdamWSweeney/status/746261907233988609

How wonderful would that be, if the biggest blunder in Britain's history happened unintentionally because some people wanted to stick it to their council. I need to go drink some more.

Musk: There’s a one in a billion chance that this is reality

I'm not sure which 'ridiculous' referendum you mean. There have been two referendums in Switzerland during the recent years about evicting immigrants who have been convicted for heavy crimes. The first one was approved, the second more harsh one was rejected by the voters.

But why call a referendum ridiculous? I guess it is primarily because you don't agree with the proposal that the referendum is about. And because you don't agree with the proposal, you feel that there should not even be a referendum about it? That means that you think your opinion is more valuable than a possible majority of the voters. Isn't that an egocentric point of view?
Definitely interesting.

The particular strategy that you propose for gaming the system assumes that voting events are scattered throughout a term (I assume there is some period or term after which everyone's 100 votes are replenished?) rather than all being on the same day. If this is the case then another problem is the privacy issue that arises when the state has to track how many votes each citizen has left.

Both problems are solved if there is a single event each term, where you get a single ballot containing all the questions for that term and get to fill in at most N bubbles on the ballot, with zero or more for each question.

Such a system probably still has undesirable properties, though I'm struggling to contrive a good example of one at the moment.

In these behavior-quality graphs, "now" is on the far left. In my experience, how I'm doing right now is the top priority because then I can make a good choice -- I can do something aligned with my goals -- and the graph will immediately thicken.

Being "now", it's always changing and thus everything on the graph - one's past behavior - gradually moves to the right.

The problem in my experience is that people will emotionally defend their style of carrot boiling, to the point that they loudly and forcefully attempt to convince me that carrots come out of the ground pre-boiled, or that if I try to cook the carrot another way it would still come out equally mushy.

The problem here, as always, is people. Pointing this phenomenon out to someone causes cognitive dissonance (e.g. "Rails doesn't suck, so I must suck?") which is often harder to deal with than eating boiled carrots.
I work for an analytics company, and I think the easiest way to get your first customer would be to focus on a specific tool that customers struggle with, and position yourself as an expert in that tool. For example, target Tableau shops and show how you can bring extra value to them.
But the difference is the US is a political union and the EU is not. In fact truthfully the EU is flawed as the 'freedom of movement' implies political union, which it is not. And this is what has lead to brexit.

The euro is flawed[1] for similar reasons. The economies of southern Europe are too different and its impossible to adjust as the flow of labour is limited due to cultural and language difficulties.

The English, even to this present day, are not known for being benevolent masters... but they are known for being violent ones, who will stop at nothing to satisfy their short term interests. How many nations have the English downtrodden? How many do they still try to intimidate, bluff, or put pressure on, even as ordinary citizens in management positions?

Of small comfort then, is the fact that the English have abolished slavery in 1833.

To put it poetically, with one hand I embrace you, with another I stick my blade into your throat, while my boot tramples on your broken body, that's the portrayal one might construct from history and contemporary actions and thinking of the English.

And "the commonwealth", oh my! Australia was a penal colony, of, you guessed it, the English. Not the Scottish, not the Welsh, not the Irish (Irish were busy being downtrodden, Scottish were busy massively emigrating because they were poor, while London threw galant parties, and the Welsh were trying to muster every bit of strength and intellect they could, so as not to be assimilated), and New Zealand... oh yes, in "the commonwealth", but not before the English killed a good number of Maori, isn't it?

And then, we didn't even touch upon the mess that the English caused in India, or in Africa (Zulus really "got theirs" from the English, didn't they?), or the mess on the Bosphorus, or the "Arabian question of Palestine", the consequences of which the world is still suffering from today, with all the strife going on in Palestine... ah yes, our English, everybody else in Europe drives on the right, except in Anglo-Saxon lands, where it's of course the opposite... everybody else is on the metric system because it's practical, except for the English, who still scoff at that non-Imperial nonsense from Bruxelles, our "special Petunias", with their "traditions", who view the rest of EU citizens as immigrants... with such friends, who needs enemies?

As sad as I am that the English have decided to ruin it once again for everybody, I say: if the English think the standards shouldn't apply to them, if they think that they are special, well good riddance, and stay out of EU.

But closures do. And thus, why closures are a poor man's objects, and objects are a poor man's closures. As an example, Java closures are really anonymous objects with the closed state as instance variables.

That does not mean that English is a Latin descendant.

Federalists (like me) who want to create United States of Europe usually want to get rid of the current institutions, and replace them with proper executive and legislative entities, elected by European citizens.

But the focus on Commission/Parliament is misguided: they are a just a smoke screen, as neither has much power. In the EU power is held by the European Council and The Council of the European Union [1]. These two institutions are composed, respectively, of the head of states (Merkel, Hollande, Renzi, Cameron, etc.) and the various ministers of each branch of government (economy, education, agriculture, etc.). The former controls the commission, and the latter holds most of the legislative power.

You know, I used to think arstechnica was an objective, non-political news source. The more I read it, I can't help but see the tremendous Liberal bias they apply to nearly every story not having to do with hardware.

This article is no different. The article paints a rather doom and gloom picture of the exit, only presenting one side of the argument; the perilous choice Britain's have made to leave the EU. Which is interesting that other articles I've read (from some of the same news sources) tend to be either more positive, or more objective:

The UK's EU referendum: All you need to know - http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-32810887

This was a quick 10 minute search after reading the article and thinking I was only being presented a "pro-stay" angle. If I didn't know any better, I would have concluded this was the worst thing the UK was going to do and would have dire consequences. Turns out there's positive and negatives on both sides, but I was only presented one side.

Also, this only shows what people are searching for - it doesn't tell you what news articles they chose to read or determine if they truly understand what this is all about. Again, another myopic opinion delivered with a scant bit of evidence to prove a weak political point and an underhanded jab at the majority of Britain's saying their too stupid to understand the consequences.

As far as I know, the rules are such that no country can leave the euro of their own volition without also leaving the EU. Possibly, the other countries can expel a country from the euro. Then again, everything is political in the EU, so a lot is possible.

Jobs they still have to this day.
