Actually, the US did kind of magic itself into existence due to a domestic labor and civil rights dispute. The states were primarily independent after the declaration of independence. It was not until Shay's Rebellion 10 years later that spooked the aristocrats into drawing our current constitution.

And to bypass your essentialized romantic patriotic history for a moment while utilizing your "common enemy" rhetoric, the EU has many common enemies and innumerable common and unique struggles. Consider immigration, the struggle for democracy, ecological responsibility, social justice, annexation by Russia. All issues individually more compelling than the rich coalescing their power to maintain control of the poor in a relatively isolated country with the population of Houston. The EU has so many good reasons to exist.
There is always a new biggest integration opponent. I don't know who it would be right now, but I could easily imagine France if Marine Le Pen becomes their next president.
I doubt they would put this kind of rig in any form of "stunt" mode. Seems like it carries reallly really expensive gear.
I'd actually see this as a problem. Germany is already percieved as too powerful in the union. And in the fields, where they really have influence (e.g.: Eurogruppe) they screwed things up pretty much. Besides other nationalists already see German power as threat, the rise of the far right in France and Poland is by some degree influenced by this development.

I think the EU with less German influence would be better. (FYI I am german)
Theresa May is one of the scariest contenders as far as I've seen. Very pro-surveillance and anti-open internet. She would be a (nother) disaster for UK tech. If there's anybody left who hasn't moved to Dublin/Berlin by October.

In my opinion, the most interesting thing he said in that speech is that he doesn't plan to trigger article 50 immediately.

>> "there's absolutely no appetite for unification from either side."

There is now. Leaving the EU actually brings the Ireland debate away from typically nationalist/unionist politics to actual real issues. If the Republic has to secure it's border with the North (as I believe countries on the border of Europe are required to do so) consider the impact on people who live in border towns. A lot of people living just within the north side of the border work in the south and vice versa - they would have to go through border control every morning and evening. And what happens to the large number of ROI citizens living and working in NI (and vice versa). This actually opens the debate on unity up and brings it past the typical dividing line politics. It will also likely fuel nationalist support as the democratic will of people in NI (and Scotland) is essentially ignored thanks to people in England. It's a very strange situation. I think it's still highly unlikely but if Irish unification is ever going to happen this will be the catalyst.
Source? Also poorer areas of the country(like Wales, which inexplicably voted to leave) received majority of their help from EU,not British government - and now can they expect the British government will match those contributions? How and with which money?
I'm no defender of Cameron, but the Labour party in the UK have absolutely failed – both recently and during their last period in government – to engage with long-term problems of identity, especially in the north of England. A huge number of traditionally Labour-voting areas have opted to leave the EU, and the party have to bear some responsibility for that.
it's not sad, it's a good news. The EU was only about trade regulations, nobody is thinking that we are EU but only think I'm French, I'm German, etc. How do you want that this is working? US have done nothing special, they only use the same money, and it's still splitted in "nation" then it's the same, different rules, different culture (rage against Spanish in some state, rage against black in other). We are not united, we are all alone in this war. When people will start to say "I'm a citizen of the world" and stop thinking that they are "French, US, etc." maybe the world will go better.

Well that was unexpected but I guess not that unexpected since only British citizens were asked.

If all the people living in the UK regardless of citizenship were asked the result would have been different.

I wasn't allowed to vote even though I've been living in the UK over 5 years since I'm not a British citizen for example.

Switzerland and Norway have joined the EU in all but name (and voting rights) economically; all the trade-related EU directives apply and their borders are actually more open and let in more EU migrants per capita.

Of course the UK has the option of going for the same deal, but if they do, a lot of the Leave voters are going to feel very, very betrayed.
France doesn't need yet another referendum, we already voted NO in 2005! We just need honest politicians to frexit.
But then it's not really abstract. Not that it really matters, I just thought it was a strange thing to highlight.
For me there's a disconnect in the handling. So in a traditional approach, you write one function that takes in input and spits out an output (called, say, FUNCTION_A).

Then you have another function (FUNCTION_B) that maybe does some stuff and then calls FUNCTION_A with an internal variable and bam you're done.

In messaging, FUNCTION_B doesn't call FUNCTION_A. It just shouts out (or sends a message containing) something like "I need to turn my internal variable into a given output". Somewhere in the application will be a process that listens out for just that message and then does something in response to it.

So you have all these modules (or cells in some examples) that are shouting out things and then you have other cells (or a single brain) that take in all the messages that are being shouted and do stuff based on the content of the message. You could think of a stock market trading floor (with a whole bunch of people scrambling and shouting stuff, although obviously much more orderly in a program) or the cells in your body that send messages to your brain (like cells in your fingers sending "the human is putting his hand on a hot stove, tell him to take it off before us little cells die" and then your brain - and you - react).
I was travelling the past month from Dublin to Nice and on my way back they wouldn't let me board the plane because I "just" had an Italian national ID and they wanted to see an actual passport. Been traveling for more than 10 years within the EU and never had that happen to me before. After about ~10-15 minutes of arguing with border control that you don't need a passport to travel within the EU (I don't even own one) was granted access to the plane with a scoff and a "just get your damn passport next time and don't waste our time" line.

Just saying that it very strongly depends on the person at border control at the airport and a lot of different circumstances, you can get pretty tight checks from EU to EU too.
I wish you are right. Demographic projections are showing the population doubling over the next 30 years:

Switzerland had to agree to freedom of movement of persons in order to get a free trade deal with the EU. The UK, on the other hand, is flat out opposed to freedom of movement, so it seems unlikely they'll manage to get the same conditions as the Swiss with regards to trade.
> A very large part (about 75%) voted to stay in Europe

Can you share the source of this data? I'd be interested in investigating.

I agree with everything that you said. Taking a glimpse at the history of the EU starting from the 2nd WW, Bretton Woods, Nixon Shock brought us 2008 is very well documented in Varoufakis latest book[1].

I travelled lately from Greece to Bulgaria and to Turkey. Having border controls really feels like 1980 and I believe it adds NOTHING to security. It's just a sign of hostility towards the neighbour country. Ideally borders should be like the ones the Swiss have with Austria or Austrians with Czechs.

But unlike technology, society progresses in cycles... My hope is that brussels will get re-shaped in a more democratic way, stop abiding to stupid rules and start looking after the prosperity of the remaining members of the Eurozone. But doesn't look good :-(

Honest question from someone who's been using stored procedured with sourcecontrol for 15 years:

What exactly is the problem? :)
Not really. Germany has a large surplus because of the Euro. The common currency means Germany's currency is weaker than it would be otherwise thus it's exports more attractive. And countries like Greece and Spain have strong currencies than they otherwise would have. Thus their industries and workers compete at a disadvantage.
We don't know if he would have agreed.
>> "I'm fairly concerned that Northern Ireland has high potential to become a bloody battleground."

This would be the first time that those who want Irish unity could actually sway a significant number of unionist voters. Violence would ruin that opportunity so I doubt it would happen. This vote has increased the possibility of their goals being achieved politically. If anything I would expect violence to rise on the unionist side if it did look like a border poll was going to take place and not go their way.
My position was not with GS. Where I worked was also a ball of spaghetti but doesn't sound as bad in comparison.

all the other NATO troops

The mood in the USA is turning more inward. There is less appetite for NATO. The sentiment is moving more toward: if the Germans don't want to be learning to speak Russian, then they should be paying for more of their own defense. But they're not:[1]

in terms of share of German GDP, military expenditures remain average at 1.2% and below the NATO recommendation of 2%.

I'm personally astonished at how little of an Army Germany has today. Especially considering that just a few years earlier, Eastern Germany was studying Russian in school and was a large component of the Warsaw Pact.

Poland is quite afraid of Putin. But Germany seems to have adopted a "meh" attitude toward the whole situation. They probably think that if they sell enough BMWs and Mercedes to Russia that everything will turn out OK. And probably it will.

Edit:
Germany doesn't need an invasion force, just a defense aided by dozens of other countries by treaty.

Just want to add that I think you're wrong about this. There is a world of difference between large integrated forces, such as the US V Corps and VII Corps in Germany during the Cold War, and what exists in NATO today.

Nowadays, some of those "dozens of other countries" would contribute what, perhaps a battalion or two of combat troops? Not the same as when VII Corps deployed from Germany to Iraq and defeated the Iraqis in the first Gulf War. Not the same as when V Corps deployed from Germany to Iraq and defeated the Iraqis in the second Gulf War. Both those Corps have been deactivated. Nothing took their place.

Total US force in NATO was 67,000 in 2015. Not as big as one might think.

Here's a "semi-official" NATO statement about force levels: Some 25 per cent of NATO members do not have an air force, 30 per cent have no naval force or maintain a navy with less than 600 sailors, and 50 per cent are fielding an active army of less than 20,000 soldiers. NATO is an Alliance of unequals [2]

Finally, the other side is now run by an ambitious, intelligent, charismatic leader in Vladimir Putin. It's no longer led by Boris Yeltsin the drunken bum, and hasn't been since 1999.

Look. You're renting an apartment with four other people and you're all sharing the rent. Then one guy decides that he only wants to pay the rent for the square meters that represent his room, but he still wants to get access to the kitchen, living room, bathroom and have free access to the fridge and free use of the stove.

If you refuse, are you the bully?

> And the voter turnout was only 51.2% in that election, not ~70%. Saying that in the end a small amount of voters make all the difference, that's true in so many cases...

And the voter turnout in the US only matters for the 18 or so contested states - so it's misleading to talk about really..
I'd like to see some evidence for your statement. Subsidiarity is a general principle taken into account for all EU decisions. It's the opposite of "seeing difference as a disease" IMO.
Fearmongering, nothing more to see here. Like I said, there is no current evidence that this will happen. BTW, threats from banks do not constitute evidence that they will do something perceived by a losing political faction as negative.
I think they are confusing free trade with the single market. Free movement is a condition of membership of the single market. Single market means not just lack of tariffs but also harmonisation of regulations.
I haven't traveled Dublin/Nice but I haven't seen any border control at an Airport for Schengen/Schengen flights for a long long time (or car/train travel for that matter). Airlines sometimes check ID cards though and those people might not be up-to-date with regulations.
Threats from banks do not constitute evidence that they will offshore, however.

Not true. The electorate was 46,501,241 and the leave vote was 17,410,742, so about 37%. You're forgetting to take into account those who didn't vote.

IMHO, the opportunity was taken away by Merkel, not the older English population.

Merkel welcomed migrants/refugees into Germany which ultimately meant EU due to no border control. This opened the flood gate and increased the fear factor in older English people.

The head of state of the UK is an unelected monarch. The upper house is life peers and Anglican clergy. What kind of "belief in freedom and democracy" is that?

You... don't actually know anything about the political history of most of the world's English speaking countries, do you?
This vote achieves two objectives. The first is to clarify the position of UK in Europe that has always been ambiguous. The second is to weaken the leadership of Germany showing clearly that they are leading in the wrong direction.In the end I believe that the long term conseguences will be beneficial for the rest of Europe.But UK has to pay the conseguences of their choices. I was already strongly skeptical, after the LIBOR scandal, about having London as the main stock exchange in Europe. After this vote I am completely against it: I want the main European stock exchange to BE IN EUROPE. Frankfurt or Paris are the most natural candidates.
Reifying means to take the abstract and make it concrete. Reflection is an example: take a language feature, like a class, and make it into real data. Many languages have some reflection capabilities for types; message sending takes this even further.

For example, in Java, I can take a class and make data out of it: dynamically look up fields, etc. I can also do that with a method. But I cannot take a method call and turn it into data. I can sort of do it with a lambda, but lambdas make poor data:

1. A lambda is concrete, not abstract. It's literally "run this code."
2. Even if your lambda merely invokes a method on an object, it's still opaque. I can't pick it apart, get the parameters or method name out, etc.

Here's some practical objects you can't make in Java:

1. Envelope: wraps an arbitrary remote object Contents. Any method you invoke on Envelope gets sent over the wire and invoked on Contents.

2. Delegator: represents the union of one or more objects, the Delegates. Any method invoked on Delegator gets re-sent to the first Delegate that understands it.

3. Tee: Any method you invoke on the Tee gets multicast to its wrapped objects.

4. Mapper: wraps a list. Any message you send to Mapper sends it the elements of its list, and returns the resulting list.

etc. Put directly, Java method invocations are procedure calls, not messaging. But once you reify method invocations into object, it opens up all sorts of dynamic possibilities.
I'm not sure you can characterise Scotland as Labour anymore. Largest party in the Scottish parliament are SNP, second largest Conservative, Labour are a measly third place.

As much as London is Labour supporting it's only a very small part of their supporter base, their traditional heartlands are Wales and the North of the UK, both of which overwhelmingly voted to leave.
That's a great observation. Thanks.

It's just a sign of hostility towards the neighbour country. Ideally borders should be like the ones the Swiss have with Austria or Austrians with Czechs.

UK border controls, though, probably aren't going to change much. They never had open borders, although they did - and will probably continue to - have mutual agreements on somewhat less strict border formalities with most Schengen countries (eg. a national ID is enough to enter, no passport required, but you still have to go through passport control).
The parent suggested measures that went far beyond economic necessity.

But whatever the response of the EU, it will decided by power politics that appear very distant from the control of the voter.
Nothing has actually changed yet.
