Unlike the leadership of our "union" the United States, the leadership of the EU have not been given a mandate to lead by the voters.

Yes and no. The leadership of the EU (council) is composed of the leadership of its members. The controlling house (EP) is voted directly. The only part that isn't chosen directly is the commission (EC), and those members are nominated by the council and vetted by the EP.

But the EU indeed does not have a mandate to lead. The EU proposes treaties, not legislation. It is up to the national parliaments to implement legislation that meets the EU treaties.

The social systems are stressed as is the National Health Service

So are those in the other EU countries. Maybe it has something to do with a global financial crisis that started almost a decade ago?

However, as many have pointed out even before the vote, the EU migrants are responsible for only a small part of the strain in the NHS: https://fullfact.org/europe/eu-immigration-and-pressure-nhs/

"in 2014, migration from the EU added £160 million in additional costs for the NHS across the UK [..] The same technique suggests that £1.4 billion in additional costs were caused by other changes in the number and age of people in the UK"

"immigrants from the European Economic Area made a more positive contribution than UK natives—and a far more positive contribution than immigrants from outside the EEA"

"The UK paid £674 million [in heathcare costs] to other countries, while receiving just £49 million in return. [The NHS is] simply failing to charge when it is supposed to—recouping only a fraction of what should be around £340m from other countries."

Cameron did not have to call the BrExit referendum

Yes and no. Yes, he had to because it was a campaign promise. Many say that it was this very promise (to hold a brexit referendum) that gave him the election victory at all. No, he did not have to make that promise during the election campaign, but he did anyway, partly to win over voters, partly to soothe anti-EU voices in his own party.

Correction, tons of physicists use real values (or complex real values) in their calculations. That doesn't imply that the corresponding values in the world are irrational, transcendental, infinitely-precise, etc.

There are a few ways we can avoid the reals in physics.

Abstractly, there are results such as Skolem's "paradox" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skolem%27s_paradox ) which tell us that theories involving uncountable sets (such as the reals) can be satisfied by countable models.

More concretely, physicists never manipulate real numbers directly; only symbols which may represent real numbers. Such symbolic manipulation could, in principle, be performed by a turing machine, and hence any value obtained from such theories (e.g. experimental predictions) must be in the set of computable numbers. Hence the reals are just an 'implementation detail' of any theory, and their purported presence cannot have any influence on the theory's predictions.

As I said previously, I have nothing against the reals as a useful mathematical tool; I just disagree with the name, and claims that they are physically real. Others go further though, arguing that discrete mathematics is more general and useful than continuous, e.g. http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/OPINIONS.html

Well, people like C because it contains less language features and therefore is simpler. The error is thinking that simple and easy are the same thing. C is fiendishly difficult to write correctly.

"lost scotland for the queen"

I don't think there would be any desire to replace the Queen as head of state in an independent Scotland. The same royal family was head of state before the Union and could easily be afterward a split in the same way that she is Head of State for Canada, Australia and quite a few other countries.

Edit: I personally would prefer a non-political President as Head of State, but I suspect few other people think that and I don't have hugely strong views on it. I also wouldn't want any change to happen in the lifetime of the Queen.

The original comment.

And probably somewhat close to reality, but we can't say for sure, only time will tell.
> That he was able to become mayor of London shows his broad appeal

The expression I heard a couple of times from my Londoner friends was that he canvassed "The Doughnut" which is the term for the wealthier classes living around the peripheries. His predecessor Livingston had shaped policy to suit the more urban residents.

Johnson is great at campaigning, and speaking and though he comes across as a buffoon he's a very shrewd guy. But I believe he's the dancing monkey rather than the organ grinder. He is untested in policy formation. I don't believe he has the stones to do the heavy political lifting that will be needed to lead the UK post-brexit.
This. I don't have muh to add besides what you've already written. The 'norms' of life are so fiercely protected, as to alienate all other views of it.
Well that pretty much nails it.

While on paper it still looks like Boris Johnson is in a great position to the vast majority of the public, the next Prime Minister is going to have to follow through with what they know is a terrible idea, negotiate with the EU with remarkably less leverage than the 'Leave' campaign thought they had, try to deal with Scotland wanting to leave, restless regional pressure groups in Wales, Cornwall and other parts of the country, as well as try not to have Northern Ireland fall back into a state of ongoing political violence.

So Johnson either has put his hand up to deal with all these issues until the next general election in (or sooner) 2020 and go to an election with a struggling economy (I doubt and the Union slowly falling apart (remember, Scotland's independence would topple the sitting PM almost certainly) or he can wait it out, let another Conservative Prime Minister lose in 2020, and become party leader upon the election loss and hope to win in 2025.

I doubt he thought this through very well. On the plus side UKIP's work is mostly done so they mightn't poll as well any more.
Happened on Chrome mobile, but pretty sure it's reproducible on desktop too.
Back when I was contracting I got a gig to install and update 911 in cities within about a 50 miles radius. I was appalled at the state of 911 once I saw it from the inside, even with the new system I was installing, which was running on Windows Server 2003 and was obviously poorly secured and tossed together by someone in Dallas who knew .net and knew the old boy system to get the contract.

This is one more reason why I try to explain to people that you need to be prepared to take of a problem yourself, because cops and ambulances will just show up and either take you to the hospital or draw chalk around your body.

Self defense is an inherent natural right and its one more reason the right to bear arms is so important.
That is highly debatable. Berlin needs 40,000 new units a year, Airbnb accounted for 12,000 units. Airbnb is a convenient scapegoat.
I really like the idea of this kind of thing, but I thought it was going to be nicely animated presentations. I was disappointed to see it's that Hank guy talking. He speaks in an annoying version of a newscaster voice, and it's distracting that they keep showing him instead of focusing only on the content. He also speaks too fast and jumps over concepts. It's disappointing that the most popular pop science stuff on YouTube involves this guy. I'd rather something more like Khan Academy, with better animations. He speaks in a more normal voice, and goes slow to really cover a concept.

This is a duplicate of a submission I made 2 weeks ago.

Anyway, as an American abroad, I think about this periodically. Like the author, I never owe anything in taxes, but the stress and expense from making sure paperwork is correctly filed each year is really awful. If I mess something up on my FBARs, non-willfully, I would be fined enough to completely bankrupt me, the fines being way above the value of the accounts I might somehow misreport. How can you misreport an account? Well, you could use the wrong currency exchange rate, or you might not have access to information required on the form so you have o guess, or you could think that accounts with a balance of 0 all year do not need to be reported (turns out they do). Or maybe you think that an account with money for a loan does not need to be reported because it is not really your money (you do). And so on. Every mistake costs you 10k/account/year. It is true insanity.

Also, I currently have no tax deferred way to save for retirement because my employer funded pension account here (it is essentially a 401k, just based in Norway) is treated as a regular investment account by the IRS. So, I have to pay taxes on any gains each year on my pension. Luckily, this has always been below the standard deduction, but in some years, it will (hopefully) not be. I also cannot make any contributions myself to the account or else it turns into a PFIC (which is a Very Bad Thing).

That being said, I am hopeful that FATCA will be repealed, or at least revised so that it does not threaten to bankrupt middle class Americans with the ridiculous fee structure and recognizes foreign pension accounts. I do not want to give up my US citizenship, but will be forced to if something does not change in the next few years.
Totally anecdata, and therefore useless, but here goes. When i wake up in the middle of the night i give myself a few minutes to try to get back to sleep. If it's work related stress, i get up and poke at something for an hour. sometimes i make progress, sometimes i don't. Fall right back to sleep and have a fine day the next day.

If it's not something i can do anything about i fret for an hour, crawl back in bed, toss and turn till morning, and have a generally bad day.

Something deep down takes comfort in the agency. at least i tried to improve the situation.
Living in London I find your respect for Johnson surprising. Here is is a summary of his achievements, most of which began before he was involved:

http://www.londonlovesbusiness.com/business-news/politics/ex...

The push for a better and bigger airport on the estuary was a good idea IMO, even if it failed, otherwise it struggle to think of any concrete achievements.

I doubt he'll make it to prime minister though, for one he's too intelligent and self-centred to want to preside over the dissolution of the United Kingdom and the difficult compromises that will be required if the uk wants access to European markets. I can't imagine a less persuasive figure than the affable but clownish boris to lead the uk in these difficult brexit negotiations.

On the future of the EU, that won't be decided by the UK who will have very little influence after they leave.

I've never understood "guns for self defense". Gun ownership without storing the gun in a proper secured gun locker is completely irresponsible, and is much more likely to lead to your kids or someone else discharging the firearm and injuring/killing someone than it is likely to be useful for self defense. And if you do store your guns appropriately, you won't have time to get them in a self defense situation.

The former is like saying "I won't wear seatbelts so I can get out of the car quickly in case of fire". The latter is saying "I'll buy a fire extinguisher for my car, but I'll keep it locked up under the hood."

TANRI TEYİDİ: GODHAJUR DÜNYA-ORTA DOĞU BARIŞI
I have the sense I am a lot older than many readers here. So here are two old man's observations for those with young kids, or those looking forward to that who read this article. I don't claim these are the most important things, just that they are things I have seen that others don't seem to comment on.

1) In the US at least so many people are living away from family and often even friends. My wife and I were essentially on our own. We did not have the wisdom of people who had done it and learned (hence this post and I expect the article ..). We had the general idea of helping, but I certainly think we helped too much (our kids are OK, not living at home for one thing).

2) At least some of American parenting ratcheting-up is a contest among mothers. "I'm a better mother because my daughter takes both piano and horse-riding." It is not a pretty truth, but it is nonetheless a truth.

The brexit will happen, but the result will be a trade agreement that imposes almost the same set of conditions on the UK, except without the ability of the UK to veto new EU measures. In short, the UK is still going to be controlled by Europe, but now without veto powers.

The negotiators won't be trying too hard to get a better deal from the EU, because they'll be the ones in power, and if they fail to negotiate a deal they'll be forced to give up that power. Trust politicians to prefer power over principles any time.

When thinking about these kind of problems I really wished we had some good -and publicly available- tools for simulating the world. While the predictions made by such a model would be most certainly wrong in most cases (the system is just too complex to be simulated reliably), it would allow us to narrow down the number of possible outcomes of a given political situation.

This would make an interesting business case for a startup, and I can imagine that hedge funds and investors are already using such tools to their advantage, it would be hugely beneficial to have something like that for the general public to use though.
Sure, happens all the time.

Whether the next British government is prepared to discard the result of this referendum is another question. The answer is almost certainly no, absolutely not (considering that it'll presumably be a Conservative government led by pro-Leave politicians), but that's not the same thing as saying they'd be prepared to invoke Article 50 either. It's not impossible that they'll get so busy preparing to invoke Article 50 that they'll never actually get around to it before a new Remain government is formed.

(My bet is that Article 50 will be invoked, FWIW. A true Leave believer won't be worried about it, because they think the outcome will be strongly positive. Of course, I wouldn't be the first person to wonder if Johnson is a true Leave believer, or simply an opportunist who saw a lever.)

A lot will be determined by the decision of who is going to lead the conservatives now. To invoke Lisbon, someone is going to have to stand up with a strong positive vision. It's also in their interest to delay starting the process to allow time for other countries in the EU to start their own referenda.

If the UK does actually go through with Brexit, whomever takes on this leadership role will have to court other countries in the EU to form a larger bloc before the UK's negotiations with the EU finalize. It's either that or accept a punitive deal from the EU.
I was thinking the same thing, and does people really still build SQL-strings programmatically in the server application?

Seems like this bad practice should be dead by now, not only does it open up for injection attacks but it also prevents the database from optimizing the query by precompiling, data aggregation and building smarter execution plans.

Among lots of "young" people I know (in their 20s and 30s), mostly foreigners living here, the consensus is definitely that 300 is the new norm. I've heard it time and time again from different kinds of people living in different neighborhoods in Lisbon. I, myself, am paying 300 (even though I would consider it a 250 euro room), and the landlord wishes to up the rent another 25 euro or so (he tried to get me to rent a smaller room so he could increase the price on mine).

Among Portuguese young people, I've also heard many complaints about how hard it is to find a place that isn't a) way too much for what is being offered compared to previous years and b) in the outskirts of town.

That being said, I am aware there are rooms for less than 300, but I'm more talking about rooms that aren't "shoeboxes", size-wise.

With a bridge you still have to do some planning before you can kill yourself by jumping. You have to first find a bridge, go to that bridge, climb on the bridge and then jump off the bridge. That gives you quite a lot of time to reconsider what you're doing. If you have a gun for self defense then you usually carry it around with you all the time. It's just a matter of pulling the trigger.

> They can give up on the idea of recruiting people from major hubs (SV/London/NYC) then.

From the SV and NYC, you're probably right. From a company's point of view, why would you even try? In Berlin you can easily hire people from all over Europe and nearby countries without much immigration hassle.

As for London, I don't agree, it's very easy. London salaries aren't that great on average, not every software developer works at a hedge fund.

I don't think Lavabit was that big of a bussiness. They had to shutdown just because of a $10,000 contempt fee.

And even if they didn't have enough foresight to have regular attorney, it seems very bullish for the government to try to overwhelm the guy with seven different court orders in about 30 days. Just because I do not have the foresight to have an attorney before something like this stars, it doesn't mean I don't have the right to run my bussiness and neither does it make any more acceptable for the government to close it down just because they didn't get their way.
There are any number of excuses for revisiting the decision, especially considering it was so close.
This is an important point.

Cool, but seems there's a timezone issue, I just performed a post request, then it says `about * hours ago`(replace * with one number).
The alternative is to delay the process long enough to form a bloc with other countries that are considering leaving the EU. That's a vision the UK could rally around if they are serious about their independence and securing the best deal for themselves. If they are half-hearted, they will get a bad deal.
Because those willing to pay absurd prices are not locals, nor are they living here long-term, thus this causes locals and long-term residents to be pushed out of the city. Imagine being pushed out of your own city just because the market says tourists are more important than residents.

My point is merely that he got elected in London which is not an easy thing for a conservative.

UK's decision and how it will be handled will have very big influence over the rest of Europe and will set the agenda for the growing EU opposition here.

The media frames this as an (almost isolated) UK problem but it really is not.

It is about the EU.
the UK is still going to be controlled by Europe

No it won't, as the EU has become a legislative body governing aspects of people's lives in the UK and it will no longer be the case.

The government is fucked either way. There's no way they can give voters the things they promised to get that result, and they know it. The likely end result is that a whole bunch of the losing side's "fearmongering" turns out to be unfortunately accurate, and they probably knew that too.
