What I're read so far about pro-leavers:

-They are stupid.

-They are xenophobic racists (over 50% of the population!).

-Trump welcomes the Brexit, so being pro-leave is stupid.

-Old people vote "leave" since they don't have to face the consequences as long as the young people, and old people have no clue.

-"Leave" votes come mainly from E.U. subsidized areas, thus they bite the hand that feeds them.

-Pro-leave doesn't even know what the E.U. is.

I have read a lot of insults regarding either position, but the attribution of stupidity comes almost always from the "Remain" camp. Which comes close to saying: there are no reasons to vote for leave, so they must be stupid. How stupid.
Hmmm, I made no statement about current laws. I stated my beliefs on natural rights. To concede the general power of government to redress private discrimination through legislation would be to concede virtually unlimited power to the government. Humans, as independent actors, have other means to fight bigotry than infringing on one of a person's most sacred rights. You can't legislate morality.
well he's making it sound like a bad thing, so I wanted to know what exactly he meant.
Sure, taste is subjective, but that doesn't mean certain cooking techniques are better than others.

Cold brew oxidizes, and doesn't extract many of the flavor compounds from coffee. That's why it always tastes kind of stale and flat. Now, you might like that, but I'm sure you can see why many people would say that it's a worse way to make iced coffee.

Similarly with roasting beans---lighter roasts preserve more of the flavor of the beans. So, if you have really high quality beans, dark roasts are just a waste. That's not to say that dark roast coffee can't be delicious, but it's less complex.

Similarly, sangria is delicious, but you probably shouldn't mix your 1982 chateau lafite with orange juice.
Honestly the India comparison is "slightly" exaggerated.

British people could vote for European MPs. It's not like the UK was colonised by Europe.

There is devolution of sovereignty but you're gonna basically end up with that with the kind of trade pacts the EU demands anyways.

Lots of symbolism involved of course.
So? It is just one woman.
If the Scottish independence referendum had resulted in Scotland gaining independence from the UK (like Spain, then a EU country) and then applied to join, there might be a reason for Spain to worry, as that roughly mirrors the situation with Catalonia.

If there's another Scottish independence referendum, Scotland would gain independence from a NON-EU country (UK) and then apply to join. This is similar to the situation with Slovenia, which gained independence from Yugoslavia and then joined the EU. Spain didn't veto that.
Most media and politicians have a distinct opinion or slant. I don't think WaPo does. Their MO is more: "Either X or Y might be right, but whatever is right is only right because we tell you it's right."
Britain is a free trading nation. That's one of the reasons they want out.

No "trade deals" are needed for free trade.
"What prominent lies from Remain?"

Farage was campaigning to leave.
How is this "raw emotion", though? Leaving the EU has been discussed for a few years now, quite widely.

Also, "raw emotion", direct democracy (in Switzerland, for example) can work very well. Direct democracy may not scale well, hence we need representation, but big issues should be left up to the people to be voted on.

In the end, I believe, the people in the UK voted against not so much the idea of EU, but rather expressed their frustration with the EU's inability (unwillingness?) to fix its problems. It's been brewing for a while.
You're against democracy because people had the right to decide what was in their interest and not the government or big business??
> At least Mr. Trump realizes that not every expenditure is possible or prudent.

As evidenced by his many bankruptcies?
Lots of people didn't vote, so leave won even though only 37% of the population voted that way.
I can't imagine anyone who has gone through school and thought that grades were somehow an "absolute" measure of quality. It's quite clear that grades are relative to both the standard of your fellow students and the current academic standards for your school. The whole idea of a "grade" is to sort the relative quality of various things or people, and that is what they are supposed to do. The problem comes when people start to THINK they are an absolute measure of worth, and thus believe that they are entitled to an "A" because they worked hard. Never mind that everyone else worked hard too, and some of them performed better.
I am no expert, but the EU regulations exist to harmonize the internal market. Since UK was part of the EU, there is probably very little they can change in deals with individual EU countries.
I'm not saying it's literally as bad as colonization. But the symbolism is useful in showing that the focus on economic impacts is utterly misguided. Democracy isn't about optimizing for economics; it's about people deciding how they want to be governed. "Who should be able to tell me what to do?" That's a sacrosanct decision! It shouldn't be made by bureaucrats and intellectuals looking at the impact on currency prices.
Yeah he's a nasty weasly only likely marginally better than Bliar. I still think this is going to be a bad move. Yes Europe is very very broken but I think better to try to fix it than go it alone
Yeah, let them try to detect I'm using adblocker :-) And what will prevent community from developing same thing under different name?

-- Edit -- funny to find out this bothered somebody enough to down vote. Probably some German bureaucrat unhappy somebody's flagging dead laws before they are pushed through people's throats :-)
This happens occasionally, like in 1993 [1] and 1998 [2].

The labeling seems off, though. 'Sweet' varieties stonefruits (almonds, apricots, plums, peaches, etc) are supposed to have small amounts of cyanide, while 'bitter' varieties are supposed to have unsafe amount amounts. Is the issue here the volume of an entire bag's worth?

Sanity check: Google searchers aren't necessarily voters. The UK had a massive (72.2%) turnout, which still leaves 13 million potential voters at home [1]. I think it's reasonable that those least-likely to vote on this issue also might be a large contingent of those who don't even know what the EU is. Moreover, Google searchers aren't necessarily in the electorate. They might be kids, etc.

So you're characterizing everyone who voted to leave based on a distorted statement of one person the BBC pulled out. He in fact did not say that, quoted no less, sentence at all! Find the clip, the full clip, and watch it. He said he was shocked that they won, AND didn't expect Cameron to resign, and so is worried about that. It's quite understandable to be worried about big changes regardless of wanting them or not. He has neither said it was a protest vote or anything like that, nor that he regrets it.
Argh. Second Amendment, not Fourth.
MEPs have less power than they should have, but it's also that media refuse to report on EU politics, and voters prefer their national news.
I find that just such a sentiment prevails on HN alarmingly often now.

Can you recommend any alternative news sources with a better signal to noise ratio?
>Here's a Leave fellow who says he just did it as a protest vote thinking it wouldn't actually pass.

So?

>The most important international agreement in the UK's history torn up

The Act of Union 1707 was torn up because of this?

>because people thought this was a Buzzfeed poll.

It's really pathetic that sore losers like yourself are making nonsense claims like this.
Antartica?
Agreed.

Along the similar lines, I like a nice double cream brie, or a gruyere cheese. I also like a good slice of kraft american cheese. They all have their time and place.
> - There is one heap rather than a young and tenure heap, but tenured objects are marked as such.

That's a big difference. One of the largest, if not the largest, advantages of a standard generational GC in practice is bump allocation in the nursery. If I understand correctly, because of the fact that GCs don't unconditionally tenure surviving objects (instead only tenuring objects that cross thread boundaries), this algorithm loses the fast bump allocation because objects in the nursery can become noncontiguous.
And what about email? I have to support POP3 (!); my customers would be seriously unhappy if they can't sent an email with emoji.

Heck, I'd be unhappy. I love adding emoticon and emoji and fun things to my emails.
But I don't actually think GW was an idiot by the sheer fact that he surrounded himself with some of the most brilliant conservatives of the time. Cheney is evil incarnate, but few would call him an idiot. The same can be said about his secretary of defense, donald rumsfield. Rumsfield is the shining example of "doing it right" and being a hard charger.That being said, the two of them colluded and it caused badness.

Knowing you're outclassed isn't the mark of an idiot, but of a brilliant mind. Trump thinking he has an excellent memory and is the best in everything is the mark of a true idiot.
It's a different method of brewing. However the psuedoscience he uses to justify it as being 'better' is just touchy feely handwaving.

If you enjoy the taste do it, if you don't, toddy brew on my fellow humans.
Yeah I completely misread the parent comment. My only defense is that because of the time difference I was up very late last night watching coverage of this, so I probably need some coffee XD
Wanting a sensible immigration policy or control over your laws is not xenophobia. The idea that half the country is racist is absurd, and downright insulting. There's a reason people voted leave, and part of it is due to both labour and conservatives constantly ignoring the working class's issues over immigration, dismissing them as racist. You reap what you sow.
And my personal favorite - System Shock. You could actually look up/down on that, and it had .... drum roll....sloping surfaces! Come to think of it, Ultima Underworld was also pretty impressive

GP was asking about lies from Remain's side. Most of the filth and bilge we've been seeing has been racist, xenophobic bigotry from the organisers of the Leave campaign, speaking to populist fears and dreams. Reminds me a lot of Trump's campaign here in the US.
Yep, Joost ("rhymes with toast") Shuur started Aftershock, the first major Quake news site, during the pre-release days. Other sites like Blue's, Redwood's and sCaryname's took over after the game was actually released.

Sometime after that, Joost, ran a directory (remember those?) of Quake-related sites called Slipgate Central for a while.

Here's an old interview with him at the time:

For the record, I know plenty of people who actually believe climate change isn't real. Is that relevant to a discussion on environmental policy?
Engaged doesn't mean well researched and thoughtful, nor does it mean they are wise and experienced in life. Sure they can parrot back what some marketing firms decided what they should think, call that critical thinking.
Their comparison section looks like an advertisement for Backblaze B2. C14 looked interesting until I got to that part. Now, I'm not sure why I would choose C14 over Backblaze.
There has been a mood that the EU has benefited many of those who were more educated and better off while many blue color working class members of British society were left very much behind.

Sure there's the immediate market shock of a decision the market didn't expect, but we can't say for sure that end result in one, two, or five years will be more negative than positive for those Britons.
> their feature of "write out the config files out of whatever I already have in that AWS account"

Whenever I tell people about my own config mgmt solution (http://holocm.org), this is the immediately most-requested feature. They say "I would like to start using configuration management for my system, but I don't want to reinstall my system." So there needs to be some way to serialize all the changes one has made to the system since its installation.
Compare it to say Berlin though, where living is extremely cheap. It seems to help with tech startups quite a bit, and not because of generous tax breaks.
I think you both can be right: "The US united to commit both genocide and slavery."

When reading the parent post, I too thought it left out slavery. (Understandable, in a short comment.) As I understand, Europeans generally were against slavery, not heeding intellectuals in favor of it. (In part probably because in preceding centuries they'd been its victims more often than not.) Nation states are about promoting a certain culture to dominate its territorial boundaries, and central to US culture is the invention of modern racism, to make its slave society back then robust.
> Seems like the main advantage of this transaction oriented collector over a typical generational collector is that it precisely identifies the old-to-young pointers and thus may scan less total objects.

I'm confused as to what this means. Write barriers, just as suggested here, are the standard solution for this issue in generational garbage collectors, and they precisely identify the old-to-young pointers as well. (In fact, the nursery and tenured generations are often separated in memory, so you can test just by masking a few bits off.)

I agree with the sibling comment that this seems to be a simple generational GC, just with a different policy for tenuring than the typical textbook one.

Out of the box, Quake was a lesser experience indeed.

But the engine was highly mod friendly. I think i have at least a couple of CDRs somewhere (if they are still readable) Stuffed with zips downloaded from Fileplanet.

Everything from grand projects like Team Fortress, to small one man mods that was not much more than a collage of weapons.

This in large part because the game logic was implemented using quake-c, and the compiler was freely distributed.
> The market volatility isn't because they're out of the EU or will be that soon, rather everyone planning on a 2018-2019 exit.

Well, not just that. There's also other things, like and the resulting lack of certainty of the near-term future for the government of the UK -- and the leadership of its major parties -- which creates plenty of uncertainty on policy and prospects in a much shorter term than the exit itself, as well as the fact that the exit vote, as I understand, kills the agreement that had been negotiated that provided what was described as a "new settlement" on Britain's special relationship within the EU, which was contingent on a "Remain" result in the referendum: that would have taken effect (and, thus, its being cancelled has effects) sooner than the exit now will take effect.
Selling drugs and supplements that're a bad idea to use is fine. As long as the package is truthful about the product's composition, dosage and purity, I say people can (and should) do their own research.

But this is a drug mislabeled as a food. It literally says "food" on the package ("Sunfood Superfoods"). That creates a very large risk that people will treat it like a food, and try it without reading the wikipedia page first. That's really not okay.
>Falling house prices

But we would need to look at the root causes of a fall in house prices. Is it because people will have less money to spend? If so, then it's not made housing any more affordable.
I'd love clarification on a few points, from anyone who understands everything Alan says here:

Think of the internet -- to live, it (a) has to allow
many different kinds of ideas and realizations that are beyond any single standard

Is he referring here to alternative protocols from http, or to the fact that behind the single http protocol are servers written in myriad languages and styles?

If you focus on just messaging -- and realize that a good metasystem can late bind the various 2nd level architectures used in objects

What is a metasystem? Can you provide an example? Similarly, what are 2nd level architectures?

the realization that assignments are a metalevel change from functions, and therefore should not be dealt with at the same level

what does he mean here? what are the two "metalevels" of assignments vs functions? what are examples of other "metalevels"? i've just never heard these terminology in this context, so don't know where to start in understanding it...
Not sure, but I think that may have been a reference to "Idiocracy", the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiocracy

Yup. We were looking at alternate runtimes in some OS / userland projects at Apple in the late 80s. You don't need vtables, and you can do better than static struct layout. You have to do some work at code load-time.

C++'s initial lack of a real string type and simple collection types pretty much doomed the language. (Instead they did iostreams? I've been using C++ since early CFront days, and have never used that misbegotten API).
A better toilet paper holder
Ironically, there is also a democratic deficit in the UK. The House of Lords is not elected at all, and the district system ensures that minority opinions do not get represented in the House of Commons. As a result, UKIP is far bigger in the Europarliament than in the House of Commons.

Also the range of times the person requested support at, while limited, is still a broad timespan. For small or even some medium sized companies there could be huge variability in their response time.

> Many are not religious.

Do people think Trump voters are religious? While it was still a competitive race, Cruz and Rubio beat Trump among religious voters easily.

Trump wins people who check 'religious' in the survey and otherwise participate minimally in organized religion.

I predict that active evangelicals will mostly stay home in November since there's not a credible pro-life candidate on the ballot.
baltic dry has never been anything but an "oh wow" index for marketers/salespeople to get said reaction from clients and hopefully get them to transact. It has that beautiful combination of seemingly being a leading indicator, and being left-field enough to make the originator seem clever.

It has a very low correlation to any actual markets. People on trading floors have been pushing this baltic dry pitch for at least 10 years. It's very old news for anybody in markets and is more of an eye-roller than anything else. That the New Yorker has now latched on shows that they hope to get a bit of oh-wow out of it too. Snake oil.

Baltic Dry is fun to watch, but there is too much micro going on in it for it to have any macro significance that is not coincidental.
A friend of mine is a nanny. One day when Siri didn't know the answer to something, one of the little boys said, "Use the guy Siri he is smarter."

I think there is also very much the case to not use the male voice.
Because out-of-state tuition costs are dramatically higher. I could look at other Ivy's, but they would be very similar to Stanford. The CSU calculator is for all CSUs (~20 schools). All UCs will have similar costs and financial aid scenarios.

If I lived in Alabama, my income wouldn't be relevant. I have no idea what I would make in that part of the country.

What I do know, and what is plainly obvious, is that this topic is fueled by fear mongering.

Tuition costs have risen and will continue to rise. College is a tough financial investment and has been for generations. As somebody who is going through the process in the very near future, I have to look at the reality and not the press snippets and public discourse that arises from them. This particular study completely ignores the availability of scholarships and grants in the private and public sectors. The UC and Stanford calculators I pointed out took that into consideration. The CSU calculator did not.

I wouldn't exactly call them promotional calculators.
I have to confess I'm a lot surprised that Luanda and Kinshasa are on the list. If you'd asked me to pick what I thought were the top 10, I wouldn't have thought to put any African cities on the list. I'd have expected expat costs to map closely to GDP plus some factor for housing costs of being in major cities.
In it is suggested a form of government called epistocracy. It has a lot of merit in my opinion. The basic principle is 'rule of the knowers'. We elect knowledgeable people into power and let them make decisions. We don't vote on what medication a sick child should get, why should we vote on what remedy a sick economy needs? Let the knowledgeable that we have chosen make the prescription.
it's taboo to say this but I've been reading a lot about Ancient Rome before Ceasar and yearn for that type of government. I know people have a disdain for aristocracy but people in charge were raised knowing they'd be powerful. As such, they'd be extensively educated both academically and in Roman culture. (Also sometimes moving to Greece to study at the best universities in the world). There was also no partisanship as each senator made the moves that benefitted them or their people the most.
There should be consequences for Ontario grads leaving Canada: CEOs
How about dynamic voting? Let voters change their vote in real time up to the final second or to a percentage cut off.

Mathematically, 1-(1/e) percent is the ideal cut off (~63%).

> Ampex was developing a giant database for the CIA, and Ellison was assigned to the project, along with Bob Miner and Ed Oates. The CIA's codename for the project was Oracle. The project was something of a disaster, but it led eventually to the formation of Oracle Corporation and its current hugely successful range of databases. And in the same way that Apple based its Macintosh range of personal computers on original research done at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Centre (Parc), Oracle's hugely successful "relational databases" were inspired by an idea developed by IBM.

The one minor party won the most recent Euro elections, but FPTP locked them out of power at Westminster. And something like just under half of the UK ruling party's MPs supported Brexit.
In the British Parliament, there are lines which separate the MPs on the two sides. These lines are a bit more than two swordlengths apart, to prevent them from stabbing each other.

> Being rich (or your father being rich) only gets you so far.

Your family being rich and extremely well connected politically, both domestically and internationally, gets you much further than your family merely being rich, and you being useful figurehead for people who are quite smart -- and smart enough to realize that you are more useful than them as the public face of leadership -- piled on top of that, gets you even farther.
