Out of curiosity, how thick of a machine would you be willing to accept? The Toughbooks are around two inches deep and still require professional laptop industry component packing knowledge to fit everything, but doubling that dimension yields lots of DIY flexibility, and Pelican makes cases of many sizes.

Also, what kind of keyboard would you prefer? I havebecome increasingly enamored with 60%, 50%, and even 40% mechanical keyboard kits, which I suspect would be easier to make robust (such as silicone-waterproofing the contacts, as per Animats suggestion above) than retrofitting an assembled full sized (104 key) keyboard.

I think I was a little too melodramatic, the articles overbearing provocative language rubbed off on me a bit.

I don't really mean that it's "dead" persay, only that I don't think it will be anything other than bad. Which the author also agrees with.

The bit I contend with is that -all- infrastructure software is dead. I think there is some really good stuff out there right now that hasn't fallen prey to previous mistakes that could really change the infrastructure landscape. There is also some stuff where exactly the same things are happening though...

In general the IRS does not come after you if you make what they think is an honest mistake. I have had several friends get a letter with a correct tax return and simply had to make up the difference.
When you are self-employed and run a successful company, is there a way to immigrate on that basis? Or do you have to find another company to work for, who will sponsor your visa application.

In one instance I was driving on the freeway in some traffic in the right lane and suddenly a huge 18 wheeler truck behind me starts honking the horn, I had no idea why. I creep up as much as I could as there was another car in front of me. The truck driver proceeds to rear end me. The first time I thought it was an accident, then he keeps doing it over and over again until I am finally in the shoulder. When I'm out of his way he starts driving away, I follow him to get his tag # and call the police. He did some pretty significant damage to my car. When they arrive to file the report they tell me there's 'nothing they can do' because the plates were out of state. They said they would file the report anyway. About a year later I shop around for car insurance and discover that the police report somehow indicated that the collision was my fault. Luckily the insurance company took a look at the damage and saw I was rear ended and concluded it probably was not my fault and removed it from my record.

Financial companies have a large incentive to leave if the passport scheme, which allows them to sell their services in the EU, isn't retained in its current form. Other companies - if you do business with the EU, and the trade agreement isn't so favourable, then relocating again makes sense.

There is benefit in waiting, but companies will be planning for the worst-case scenarios.

Is the FTSE a good barometer? Many companies are EU owned.
That's at least a highly misleading way to put it. The american company doesn't charge VAT simply because the EU states cannot enforce it in the US. Instead, the tax liability is shifted to the importer inside the EU. So, it's not like you don't have to pay VAT on imported goods from US companies, it's just very inconvenient for the buyer. If a US company wants to make things easy for their customers, they can instead choose to do what any company trading within the EU has to do: They can pay the taxes to the member states that they are exporting to. The same will apply to the UK once they are out.
I wonder how long it will take to switch from being a net importer

But competition between companies is justified precisely because employees can freely and easily move between them. It's very different from countries: As a rule, people are stuck in the country they happen to live, especially when free movement is restricted. Free trade and free movement of workers need to go together. This principle is fundamental to a fair globalisation.

Education level correlates with income as well, so you could also say it's the high income vs the low income. If the going's good, you don't want to change things. If you're getting shafted, might as well shake things up.

handmade hero is like learning the process of cooking (what ingredients are good for what sort of flavour etc), vs a tutorial, which is simply a list of steps which you follow, and will get some decent result.

By learning from a tutorial over time, you'll attain some level of mastery (i mean, after seeing how every recipe tells you similar things, you have to learn it). But i think learning from a master like an apprentice is the much easier, and sure fire way to attain mastery.

Sadly, Stripe API is not so great :(

It seems like the API is way too complex to do certain operations. Especially some very common use cases: for example, how to apply discount for next year for customers who already have subscription (we wanted to emulate how Comcast always gives you discount if you want cancel and took us weeks to make that working ...). I think they do want to fix all these issues but API is not designed to be easily expandable.

It's actually very hard to find a decent REST API :(

My points here are the following:

1. Think very very hard about how people will use your API <-- this is critical. This also includes operational characteristics of your API (performances, how often it is going to be called, optimization, etc.)

2. Make API easily expendable. Especially relationships between models. Sometimes, it is ok (or even better) just to organize it as "SQL wrapper". Like SOQL by Salesforce - but that again depends on number 1.
Apple can create a file to reset the flash password (it does not require tampering with the physical flash chip). This password reset file is RSA signed, so third parties can't create one from scratch unless they have stolen Apple's private key (unlikely), or have contacts inside Apple willing to make the file for them (more likely—all it takes is one unscrupulous employee with access to the reset file generation program).
> Obviously, you can't affect the laws in the EU which as an EFTA member you don't have to implement.

Sure, as an EFTA member we have a veto, which we always never use because it always trigger repercussions or sours or relationship with the EU, on which market we're completely dependent.

Our former foreign minister paints a better picture than I do: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/oct/27/norway...

That being said, I don't necessarily think Norway should be a member of the EU, as I think we'd be too small to make a significant difference. UK on the other hand, had a lot of sway within the union, and it's sad to see them leave this behind for a potential "Norwegian solution".

This does not imply polls are more or less accurate than prediction markets.

The way to measure that is to look at 100 cases where prediction markets predict 75% odds. If approximately 75 of them result in a winner, prediction markets are accurate.

Looking at a single data point and declaring a probabilistic predictor to be inaccurate is not even wrong.
Here's an introductory lecture on some aspects of spintronics from 2013 by Stuart Parkin of IBM:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cID4fKraWkE

One application that he discusses is IBM's use of spintronics in the read heads of hard drives (i.e., spinning rust), which allowed them to increase sensitivity and to increase the storage density of the disks.

Also, spin transfer torque (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-transfer_torque) is one technique for implementing magnetoresistive memory (MRAM) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoresistive_random-access...), which some people find exciting for its promise of DRAM-like read/write/erase speeds with data that persists after powered off.

Eh, defer is more similar to javas try-with-resources or C#:s using, who both put the burden on the user of the object and cannot handle recursive cleanup (cleanup of trees). So I consider it much worse than destructors.

> "nothing to lose but your chains".

And your remaining shirt.
If you've got money, you vote in  if you haven't got money, you vote out
I take the point, and that was a significant part of my own decision to vote remain.

I actually think that the EU itself may scale back the political union bit and push up the economic cooperation bit over the next decade. Then options for the future (on all sides) may open up again.

Those options will be for the ones under 30 now to explore of course and they voted heavily to remain.
Even if we are to fix ethnic crime, which I doubt we would:

Why should I like the large influx of people of different culture into my country? After all, they take my voting power in the country.

Maybe I would be content with 0,1% per year influx, but 1% per year is far into the pain zone. That's the amount of people who will try to influence culture, influence decisions and policies. And I was content with whatever we already have, thank you. I would much prefer to live in Russia than in Uzbekistan. Why let people in who would reproduce culture and politics and policy of Uzbekistan here? It's less viable, otherwise they won't desire to leave their homes for better life abroad.

When you let significant minorities in the country, of course they would want to have their say. Who won't? But this means that my voting power dwindles.
This is even worse when translating to another language than English because it use English as a pivot thus adding another layer of errors.

I noticed it first when translating to French a sentence and a Japanese word meaning 'to book (an hotel)' was translated as a word meaning a book (livre).
What I think would be more effective is strategically placed range sensors that shutdown the ATM if something covers them for a period of time.
I can see your viewpoint, but I have to say that trying to keep up with the tooling treadmill has many tradeoffs.

If there is a new framework or tool to know about every few months and you change job every three, you will be spending all your time re-learning some strange new wheel and taking energy away from truly excelling at your current tool set.

On top of that, if we chase the carrot of technology we will always be using tools that are less than a few years old. In otherwords, un-tested by time and immature code bases without useful ecosystems and best practices.

RiotJS for example, there is a way it's designed to be used, and it is idealogicaly sound. But also naive. That way will evolve a lot over time as even just a small project revealed a dozen or so pain points to solve, that haven't yet been addressed by the community.

But working on an older codebase, communities have usually solved a lot of those problems with process or ammendments, and there is a wealth of information available.

Get an angel check. One share in a billion leaves neither cofounder with a controlling interest.

For what it's worth, I recommend giving more like 2% for a sole angel, assuming their contribution runs little further than satisfying this control problem. But technically speaking, whatever somebody agrees to should solve the control problem.
Because he founded the company.
That 10% is just the market reacting to it's failed prediction.
What do you mean by `the problem'? If the problem is not enough aggregate demand (like the original comment suggested), printing money is exactly what they should be doing.
So, what's the difference here between Greece and, say, Hawaii? HI is a debt ridden state with no control over a central bank to help it address the problem.
No, but I'd feel better if he didn't spout a whole pile of gobbledygook. Let's just say that if this were the CEO of the company I was working for when faced with an existential crisis such as 'lets encrypt' I'd be out in a hurry. This can't end well and in spite of the situation he's still the most visible part of Comodo and should have a very cool and wise head at times like these.

If this is any reflection on his mental state and processes Comodo is dead.
Than they can print some more.

As long as CPI (or similar measure of inflation that consumers see) doesn't shoot up too much, they can crank up aggregate demand by printing more money without annoying consumers.
The central bank can always inflate. If printing lots of money isn't enough, they just need to print some more money.

And, if they manage to buy all of government debt without creating any inflation, that's awesome on some level as well: they just managed to monetize all the public debt without any adverse side effects. (And for sovereign debt, monetization is about as good as eliminating it.)

Unfortunately their economy is mostly imports. Even more importantly, they just shed every trade deal they have with the market responsible for 44% of their exports.

On the up side, the weakened currency will make it easier for the government to shore up all the EU subsidy programs that will pull out before Lisbon is even invoked.

As a European I say that you are wrong. Of course there are quite a few right wing extremists in Europe, but in general we are very happy with people from other European countries coming to study or work in our own home countries. (Those who come to beg are seen as more problematic.)

In addition, we as everyone else are capable of identifying with many things, and what is important at the moment depends on the context. When I speak to an American or Chinese, I'm European, when I speak to an Englishman I'm a Swede and if I speak to another Swede I'm from Stockholm.
How are the EMV chip + signature cards in USA being far, far more secure?

User can just swipe and sign a stolen card same as always. Most retailers stll either incapable of using them or very forgiving as to signatures.

Card can be duplicated with the strip and without the chip, then used as a regular legacy card (until those become uncommon).

Finally, they can just steal the chip + signature cared, use the chip and they can still sign the slip and use it sama as ever.

"Great Britain's future is very dependent on the decisions of its neighbors and trade partners, and it has just told those neighbors and trade partners to go to hell. The EU will make the UK pay a price for Brexit, and rightly so, otherwise all member states would leave and still enjoy the free movement of goods and people."

If you remove the free market from the EU's mission (as painted by your scenario above of everyone leaving and carrying on trading) what is the function of the state excluding the market? What is the idea there?

I hear all the time that the EU prevented war in Europe, but frankly war in Europe has been prevented by occupation by Britain and the United States. There are currently 21500 British troops in Germany. This is going to end in 2020, it will be fascinating to see what happens at that point.
Here in Australia you can just as easily contest charges on debit cards.
