That's not a legal clinic. That's a law firm or, i suspect, a referral service (a clearing house) that farms cases out to cutthroats. Legal clinics don't take fees. Clients don't pay and cash settlements almost never happen. Clinics are generally staffed by law students. Complain away. Every local bar promotes clinics as a means of serving indigent communities. None would consider the assertion of a client's right to a jury trial as any sort of wrongdoing.

I think the point was that in the UK, politicians are now intending to take their time with the actual Brexit process. Boris Johnson said "there was no need for haste about severing the UK's ties". Cameron said they wouldn't begin negotiations until there is a new prime minister (in October) and that they have 2 years to negotiate from when they invoke Article 50 [1]. That would put the final Brexit at October 2018 or so.

The EU seems to be angry that now the UK has made its decision, instead of acting swiftly, the UK are trying to remain in the EU as long as possible before Brexit. The EU would rather the UK finish negotiations & leave as soon as possible, so that everyone has certainty again.

Since the german prime minister has already came out and said the uk should not punished for this, probably because she has a massive incentive to sell to the uk. I don't think any spiteful deals will be made.

At Motorola, in MCU, they (we?) were still doing some manual layout (not much, but still...) on 8-bit and 16-bit core products as late as 1989. Of course, none of the more advanced CPUs or soon-to-come DSPs did. IF I recall correctly (and I probably don't), depending on the fab, for those parts, we were at or around 1micron at the time.

It was an MCU, which many might call a SoC these days, but with all the timers and serial i/o and the A/D and D/A converters and PWMs - the 8-bit family (HC11) was probably around 50K transistors in an 80-pin QFP.

The HC11 had a 6809(enhanced) core. I think the 6809 was ~9K transistors, but I seem to recall that ours was a bit bigger than that. Still ~3/4 of the die was "not-CPU".
Yow! The microphone they are using is $3,600 a piece.

Dutchie here. More sidenotes:

> It makes a bit more sense when you realise that the man doesn’t actually like democracy

Why does this mean he doesn't like democracy? He doesn't like direct democracy, but he loves our indirect democracy. I don't see the need for a referendum in the Netherlands, the next parliamentary election is coming up soon and if people want to leave the EU they can vote for the Socialist Party or the Party for Freedom, both want to leave the EU.

> The Dutch have a lot to lose from Brussels forcing a UK/NL trade war on them.

We have a lot more to lose from Brussels forcing a NL/DE trade war, if we decide to leave the EU. Economically we're practically the 17th Bundesland of Germany.

> He’s also survived a prosecution for “inciting hatred” (he was found not guilty).

Geert Wilders is facing more prosecution for asking his followers whether they wanted more or less Moroccans in The Netherlands, after which they chanted "Less! Less! Less!".

PriceZombie is no more, where else can I get prices like a stock chart?
I want to buy a few products from Amazon and their price keeps fluctuating. Is there a way I can get the historical prices of those products similar to how you get stock charts at Dow or Nasdaq?
For example, MotoG closed at X amounts of dollars today, Samsung Galaxy Note closed at Y amount, etc. so that I can make a smart buying decision?
The thing about prices is that if you have historical prices with you, you get a good idea of what the range for this product is, and whether or not you are paying a fair price.

As a counter anecdote, I lived in a bit of a rough neighborhood in Brooklyn for a while and called 911 several times for things happening on the street in front of my apartment building. Each time the dispatcher asked a couple of straightforward clarifying questions and the police/fire/ems showed up in minutes. I was extremely impressed and felt good about paying taxes for a well-functioning system.
You misunderstood. I was hinting at USA, Canada, UK etc. being different nations though they share the same language.
Let’s change one of your sentences a little bit: “Take citizens from London,UK and Austin,TX: they still have more in common than people from two different cities in Belgium, just depending on which language is in the majority in the area.” Would this still hold? I’d say no.
I am German and consider myself as European if not a world citizen. Coming from Bremen in northern Germany I have more in common with folks in Sønderborg or Groningen compared to Vienna or Zurich. More often than not Nations are arbitrary.
the EU constitution mostly reiterated stuff that was already in the treaties, and for the large majority of the EU countries no popular voting happened nor it could have (i.e. the italian constitution explicitly forbids referendums on international treaties).

Not that I'd mind a consultive referendum on each article, but a comparison with the US bill of rights doesn't make much sense.

(Also, not all democracy has to be direct democracy and plebiscites are not always the best thing)
Noscript ftw
I want to stop something exploitative, divisive and dishonest
The USA keeps popping up as an example, but their homogeneity is the result of a civil war which was their bloodiest war to date.

And Europe is not that diverse. Many of us are Christian descendants of the Roman empire or of Germanic origins and share mostly the same values, beliefs and even culture. Sure we have our local customs, art and preferences, but a majority of the TV movies and shows we watch and of the books we read and of the news we hear about are pretty much the same, with slight variation. Many of us also learn English, French or German since primary school. Note English is not my native language and here I am, communicating with you. Such education was maybe uncommon 50 years ago, but there's nothing another generation or two can't fix.

I don't really understand your concerns. What's the problem in the single currency or in the unifying political body? The only problems I'm seeing are those that could be solved by having an actual political union.

You speak of sovereignty. In case you haven't noticed, there's the US hegemony, there's the rising China hegemony and who knows, Russia might make a comeback, with its maniacal daddy included. United we'd be stronger. In fact it is the EU that's the biggest economy in the world. But divided we'll be at their whims, we'll be strong-armed into any treaty they want. And divided we are.
I just don't get what point you are trying to make here. Statistics and Polls consistently show again and again that Switzerland is one of the safest, richest, most democratic and yes - even happy countries in the world.

And maybe you can't see it, but stuff that the Swiss import is for them very cheap in comparison to all others. Just imagine how less it'd hurt you financially to pay for an iPhone when you have an income that is much higher than in every surrounding country.

Or how about going on vacations. That's very cheap for Swiss too, because for them basically every country they could go to is insanely cheap.

Edit: And the funny thing is, they are not in the EU, every male has a automatic assault rifle at home, they have free speech, regular referenda on important matters and the majority there is against any kind of Socialism.

The annoying one on iOS is how often it makes me re-enter my Apple ID password. In a modal, of course, so it's impossible to bounce out to 1Password to copy the (very long and complex) password without dismissing the modal first. Sometimes I'll get a "re-enter your apple id password" modal at some random time while I'm doing something else, dismiss it to go get the password, and then have no idea how to get it back because I don't know what triggered it in the first place...

> That makes prediction markets non-falsifiable.

No, it means you can't assess prediction markets, or any mechanism for making probabilistic predictions, from a one-off event. I was responding to tobias3 regarding Brexit.

> There's no way a prediction market mechanism can be self-correcting, because by the time you have real data the question is settled.

You misunderstand. I'm not claiming that the market for a single event is self-correcting. I'm claiming that if someone discovers a bias in prediction markets as a whole (e.g., the pop-science biases discussed in the Economist article), then traders can profit off this bias and it will be removed from the market's prediction.

There's a lot wrong with your other points, but it would take too much discussion to draw it out.
We'll have to wait and see :)
The UK won't be punished now, but from what is coming out of the EC is pretty clear any trade agreement will mean pretty much the standard EEA like deal which means the BrExit is a moot point.
The agreement will not be "spiteful" but it would most likely be something that the UK leavers would not want and if the UK doesn't take it well then it would just screw it self all over.
While Merkel wants to keep the UK as an accessible market she needs to keep the EU from collapsing even more.
Not to mention that her statement was more meant to calm down free falling global markets than to give the UK any real assurances.
I don't think you really have a good grasp on how diplomacy and negotiations work on these levels.

Also let's stop calling the UK the UK, It's Britain now It's pretty clear that Scotland in the least would split and probably remain in the EU and that Ireland would either seek a reunification or a deal on it's own.

>This is virtually impossible to achieve by any effective means.

Actually it's very simple to achieve.

First, those digits will not be randomly placed among all the things you've typed, but they'd follow some specific patterns (the most obvious one being you typing all of part --due to autocomplete-- of the bank's url).

(Of course if you can run a keylogger you can also check what website is loaded on the browser and log that information alongside the keys too, but you don't even need to go that far).

So, we established that the attacker checking the keylogger logs can trivially tell - "now they're typing their banking password".

If they also knew the correct placement that would be handy, but they can do without it too. Just knowing those N characters are from your password (in any order) really improves the possibilities they need to search.

Even if it takes a year, either they are very dedicated to you as a special (large bank account) profile target, so they can wait, or they are logging tens of thousands, via some malware, so it's still worth it to wait.

Indeed, third world immigrants work for less than the natives. Same is true here in the US. But I dont think the pay scale between the UK and the US is that much different for most jobs. Anyway, Ireland has been playing tax shelter for many US corporations. I wonder if we are indirectly funding the EU this way. By making Britain part of the 'United Union', they might capture jobs that would otherwise go to Eire.
And that's exactly the point of OP. You can only "know" weak passwords. Disabling paste is assuming and forcing people to use weak passwords.

We use Charles extensively at work, it's a great tool.

The only thing that really annoys me is that, this being a Java app, the interface works slightly different than the standard OS X interface I'm using to.

I regularly use cmd + backspace, for example, to delete all text until between the beginning of the line and the cursor. In Charles this is a hot key that removes all recorded requests. There are more of such things.

I've been looking for a similar app with a native UI, but haven't been able to find one yet.
> It's not clear to me. I think you are taking it as self-evident that Leave is a bad idea. In the mainstream narrative, the EU is associated with everything nice and international and the only reason to be against it is if you're a crazy old-fashioned nationalist.

Yes, but is it false?
And how do you know a phone number is spam without answering it?
Agreed. I enjoyed getting a better idea of how people lived back in that era. Casanova, as he presents himself, was a perfect trickster archetype.

For example: He mentions being at a dinner where an actress lamented a lisp that would impede her career. Casanova told her he could cure her speech overnight. The next day, he presented her with a rewrite of the play she was performing, with all the difficult phonemes replaced so she'd her lisp wouldn't be noticed.

My main take away is that he's always trying to look at a situation, rationally see it for what it is, but also playfully imagine what it could be.
It is curious that NPR contrasts itself with commercial radio, despite the native advertising, regular name drops, and references to listeners as their consumers (does active tuning decrease the availability of the signal for others?).

The EU did to Greece what it did because it was feared that the bankruptcy of the least member of the EU would topple German banks into bankruptcy. That non-payment on 1.3% of total government debt would cause a disaster.

Now the second-biggest economy is leaving the EU, with unknown implications for lots of financial instruments ...

There is at least a serious case to be made that this could be bad.

Well yes, he has a mandate to try. But if it all goes badly, he'll get the blame - and there's a good chance it'll go badly because Leave set some pretty lofty goals.
I like PEGs a lot and even wrote my own PEG-like parsing language. The main problem I found was that, in practice, mixing lexing and parsing is a bad idea, so I have separate lexing in my system. It depends on the language, but I would say it's true for all programming languages.

It's just obvious that programming languages have separate lexical and grammatical structure. If you want to disprove that, show me some languages like C, Java, Python, etc. expressed as PEGs.

PEGs have been around for 12 years now; I don't see them being deployed widely. There are probably multiple reasons for that, but I believe usability in terms of expressing real languages is a big one. (People always harp on ordered choice; I don't think it's that big a deal because when you write a recursive descent parser, you're mostly using ordered choice too.)

You want to do as much work in the less powerful computational paradigm as possible -- that is, lex with regular languages. And then use the more powerful paradigm (PEGs or CFG algorithms) on top of that token stream.

I believe that lexing and parsing were combined in PEGs for reasons of academic presentation and bootstrapping, not for usability or practicality for recognizing real languages.

Several of your other points are wrong, but I'll leave it at that.

That's one of the main points of gathering statistics, so the query plan can depend on the values being queried. At least in Oracle, not sure about Postgres. For long running queries it can be a big win.
A consumer isn't going to care about the automation. Does the pizza taste good? I'm especially interested in how these "mobile ovens" will work out. If a delivery is 1 mile away vs 5 miles away, length of time in the oven will be different, yet you don't want to deliver under-baked dough or something that is burnt.

That's when you combine parameterized queries and concatenated SQL:

sql = '... col_name IN ('
foreach(var arg in args)
if (!first)
sql.append(', ')
sql.append('?')
params.add(arg)
sql.append(')')
People may use frameworks which sometimes default to concatenation, even when the ORM makes it look like they're using parameterized queries.

People care more about convenience and fast iteration than security - concatenation is faster and easier, and insecure sites can still make money, so the incentives are on the side of fast, dirty code that works now rather than secure code that works later.

People (this is especially true in the PHP world) may not even know parameterized queries exist.
Energy isn't close to stably inflating. All the zero-coupon on the Eagle Ford is unwinding and the service companies are in an anorexic phase.

Health care, education and housing? Concentrated, deliberate subsidy means it costs more and there's more of it. Less so for health care, but housing and education are default "investments" - for when you're out of ideas.
