Like David Cameron and his promise to invoke article 50 last Friday? Or George Osborne and his punishment budget?

There were dreadful lies on both sides. Personally I treated the entire campaign period as a sideshow we'd have been better off without, the issues and opinions about EU membership are far deeper rooted than the last few weeks of noisy bickering.

Further, the constitutional changes that got us in were not subject to supermajority conditions, in fact no political party that implemented them had an equivalent mandate behind them to either side of the referendum vote.
You realize that linking to a tweet from a relatively unknown guy who says the same thing as you is not gonna add some validity to your point, right?
Exactly - our internal politics are none of your business. So why are you getting so worked up over our non-binding internal referendum?

When (and if) we send you notice as per Article 50, we can all follow that process. In the meantime, talking about "enemies" and kicking us out is utterly counterproductive.
"Around 4 million EU nationals that live in the UK, were not eligible to vote"

I have spent a significant portion of my life living in countries where I was not a citizen, paid taxes and was unable to vote. Just like there are millions of Europeans paying taxes in the USA and unable to vote. This applies to most countries and does not make them any less democratic.

At the end of the day Democracy is a shit system. A really shitty system, but we keep it around because it is better than the other systems.
do you perhaps have a PDF version? thanks
That's assuming that there's backup and OS knows about it. Huge majority of people don't have any backups or their backups are not automatic, so OS can't restore the file.
It seems crazy to me that such a thing can be decided with a simple majority vote. Such a big decision and almost half (or more than half?) of people very much against it. Certainly more than half of the money & influence against it. It's the sort of thing that would cause serious infighting.

I'd say 2/3, or some requirement for a certain % of the total population.

Has anyone ever actually migrated a database on a non trivial application? I want to go from MySQl to Postgres, but I am not sure if its worth the risk / effort. We got told about the standard nature of SQL in University, and how you could swap engines 'easily'. Then we started using them in real life and the reality of that situation hit.

Sure. So you can use the SQL parser from a mature, widely used library, or you can write your own. I know which option I would prefer, even if I was writing every single query by hand (not that I'd ever do that).
This is quite a common story and one I can relate to. Some of my best work has been done under time pressure, I think in part because you don't have the luxury of second guessing anything.

Some of my worst work has been done in the same conditions though, especially with regard to "technical debt" though I suppose that doesn't apply to the processes in film making as future maintenance is much less of a concern.
I guess you do not care whether the UK will be (or maybe is) way worse off economically and that xenophobia/racism is now an "every day" thing. Fine, vote "leave", probably suits better that mentality.
Oh there's political poison all over the place. It's one of the reasons I considered voting leave and am not too pissed off that the way I did vote didn't win - it's rather delightful seeing the turmoil at Westminster.
they start with WHOIS data and add what they can from there to improve accuracy. Quite a few residential ISPs register blocks of IP addresses (subnets) to a city, town, neighborhood, etc.
Personally I like WeChat's approach: Messaging feature and social feature integrated in one app, with messaging as the default view when you open the app.

Facebook is actively separating messaging feature from the main app and force users to use two different apps, which is inconvenient IMO.

Maybe it is just a legacy issue where Facebook started as a social media whereas WeChat started as a messaging app, but I am interested to see if Facebook would be better by prioritizing "messaging" over "feed".

(Disclaimer: I am a Chinese user.)
Last year i set up a facebook account with a fake name and then never accessed it ever. After a few weeks i started getting emails from fb asking if i knew xxxxxxx, the only way they could have known that i knew these people is by tracking my ip and comparing it with others, looking at those ips and working out who was common amongst their connections. Two people logging from the same ip, creates a bridge between two social graphs, even if they never explicitly declareds that, having, a corporate email address domain in common with sombody else creates a weak link between two branches of the overall graph. Each touch point creates associations which can be mined for knowledge about who you know and interact with. The new face tagging code is scary and can also create thise indirect associations, if yoh appear in multiple peoples photos, and eventualy one of them says thats "xxxxxxx", then you are deanomised for ever. FB is the worlds most amazingly efficient survelence machine, and we feed it willingly.
In some cases you are right. If all you need is a simple landing page, with a simple form or two, then by all means - do it.

However, if your application is more complex, you should be careful. Chances are, you will add your own layers. And chances are, they will suck more than some popular framework or ORM. It's not that you make a conscious decision, a plan to do so, usually it's bit by bit. And having seen all the custom frameworks and shitty ORMs (because it seemed easier at some point early in the project), don't write your own ORMs for the sake of the maintainers mental health if not your own.
I doubt any explanation needs to be provided. What true explanation did the Leave vote give to EU members?
The mandate is the vote of the people, regardless of the technical nature of the vote.

There is a lot compelling action, I mentioned some of the possible fallout scenarios in my post.
Then you make it an election subject: will we follow
the referendum or not?!

If we had AV or STV this might work - you could have "Conservative, exit", "Conservative, remain", "Labour, exit" and "Labour, remain" so the exit/remain decision was decoupled from the labour/conservative decision. But we don't, we still have the shitty FPTP election system.

I'm sure there's been some buyer's remorse among leave voters - but if remain can't win a remain-vs-leave vote, I doubt they'd fare better with a remain-labour-corbyn-vs-leave-conservative-boris vote.
If you are in London you can visit the tombstone of the good Reverend Bayes at the Bunhill Fields burial grounds, a short walk from the Old Street tube station, and pay your respects. There is also a bench facing a spacious lawn that you can sit on and contemplate Bayes in silence. He probably sat there at some point, come to think of it.
I agree with your principles, but I do think this may be an exception...With all the mis-information peddled by the media pre-vote and given the number of people who have already come out saying they didn't fully understand the implications of voting leave, I personally believe that another referendum wouldn't be the worst thing, especially given that the win was by such a small margin.
What if we were to have a second referendum and the result came out 60/40 in favour of remain- would your opinion remain the same?
It's much easier to mobilize people against something than it is to mobilize for something. A low turnout for the "remain" side was to be expected and makes the 75% all the more impressive.

You've got effectively called me a racist there. You realise this is precisely the sort of rhetoric that's lead us here?
You are spreading many inaccuracies here, but we should take them one-by-one.

No. Sturgeon is just playing up to her base.

I suspect it's even more simple – Sturgeon thinks that Scotland should be part of the EU, is backed by a clear majority of voters, and will take all steps possible to try and keep the country in the EU.

Scotland is effectively a one party system, which is quite dangerous, never mind that the common man/woman do not see this.

Scotland currently has a parliament in which no single party has a majority. That's essentially as far from a one-party state as it's possible to get.

You might call it a one-party state in the sense of representation as Westminster, but that's down to an outdated electoral system more than anything else.

The consequences for leaving the UK are well known.

That might have been the case (though I don't think it was) but it's clear that those consequences are likely to be substantially different now. The UK that existed at the time of the last referendum will no longer exist.

Companies aren't going to stay in because of Europe. They are going to move over the border.

I'm not sure there is any evidence of that at this point. Few companies said they would do that at the time of the last referendum, so it's difficult to see why this would have changed.

Also. The UK rescued the Scottish banks. Scotland will have to take on half this debt. Will the EU bail out Scotland? Will there be Greece style terms?

The UK rescued the UK's banks – not 'Scottish banks'. These were banks that were Scottish in origin, but with most work conducted in the City of London, and which paid taxes to the UK treasury. It would be obviously preposterous to expect Scotland to bail out London-based banks, given that it does not receive the associated tax revenue.

So with the debt, companies leaving, not getting much tax receipts. How will Scotland pay for the FREE tuition, FREE healthcare, FREE this and FREE that, they like to promise? Is the EU going to be sending them FREE monies?

Your argument seems to presuppose that the Scottish economy will collapse, which seems unlikely. Maybe it will result in a tightening of budgets such that some things which are currently free at point of use will no longer be so.

Finally and this is where I tend to laugh the most. Once Scotland joins Europe and the Euro. How is Scotland an independent state in Europe? How have Scottish people not realised this? Go look at Greece!

People in Scotland are well aware of that. There is a trade-off of sovereignty for stability and economics; Scotland might be subject to EU law, but in exchange it gains access to the single market. It's possible to be both an independent state and agree to international treaties.

Oh and the UK won't let Scotland use the pound. I can tell you that now!

The UK has no say on who uses Sterling.

CDNs mostly use network-level data to find the "closest" and/or highest performance cache, not geography. if your server is in Asia, most CDNs will be able to calculate that Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc. have a lower latency to you than a US one that more closely matches WHOIS data for your IP address.
> There is precedent for open borders between EU and non-EU countries, Norway and Sweden for instance.

That's not a precedent since Norway is an EEA/EFTA member and actually even part of Schengen. However, as provision for joining the EEA/EFTA, Norway agreed on free movement rules, something that the Brexit campaign has been campaigning against. They've been backtracking on that issue, but I'm still curious how they'll square that circle.
> the implication that a direct democratic mandate, to leave the EU, is ignored

At least insofar it's true that many people just voted to "send a signal" but didn't actually think they'd get a majority, that strikes me as going by the letter of the law rather than the spirit of it, so to speak.

> If this occurs we can expect politics in the UK to become dangerously divided and unsettled, and the likes of UKIP to become a seriously large party in the next parliament, not to mention civil unrest in various forms.

Hmm, sounds like a lose/lose situation: http://usuncut.com/world/hate-crimes-across-england-evoke-ni...

I wonder how much of this is the media indulging its own bias, and how significant the 'bregret'* stuff really is.

Nobody ever offered a say on UK national issues to EU nationals resident here. They cannot vote in elections to the UK parliament.[0]

There have been a number of EU nationals quoted in the media as being aggrieved by this, but in many cases they have lived here more than long enough to become citizens and not chosen to do so.

I was just about to update my comment saying that I know they're not obliged, I was just curious that's all. It would be a bit of a blow for the now mostly pro-independence, but pro-EU Scots to have battled through all this only to be vetoed because of similar issues in a completely separate country.

Given the chaos this whole vote has caused to everyone else, I'm not sure if we have the right to be upset about this however.
This is kind of similar to how thing are in Poland, so maybe other countries in EU work the same way?

In short, digitalising creates new "pole eksploatacji" (~field of exploitation/utilisation) for image, and by the law each such field needs to be explicitly named in agreement with the author. And no, you CAN NOT give rights to all of them, either known or invented in the future. All of them have to be explicitly named, and the law itself does not contain any list of them, just some examples. For example even if tablet, PC and console all are just a computer for the purpose of distributing video they could be counted as something different even if video is streamed from the same source. Other circumstances like if consumers are buying the copy or just renting it, or if it can be viewed at restricted or any time etc. may also be important. By default author is entitled to payment even if agreement doesn't mention it. Finally apart for the above part (called "autorskie prawa majątkowe") there are also "autorskie prawa osobiste" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights ) which can not be licensed away, and at least from my point of view seem to be less popular in US.

I've heard this law (mostly explicitly naming fields of utilisation) creates some issues with digitalisation of old archives here in Poland, but I don't remember the details.

I'm not a lawyer, it's couple of years after I learned it so there might be mistakes, if someone could correct me I would be grateful.

EDIT: better example
I just mentioned the facts after the result. Are they not? And I'm trying to say that they have such a big effect, that defending them is not, in the long-term, good thing for this society.
I'm just sad that a minority is viewed falsely as a majority.

It wasn't the first time either, but that straw broke the camel's back. Now I just take care of myself when I need something and ignore the rest of the circus. (5k+)
It's a precedent for EU/non-EU borders being open.

I agree it's not a good fit for the circumstances here, it's all rather uncertain. But it at least shows that not everything is black and white.

Scottish leaders have been in intensive talks with EU recently.

We knew all along that Scotland was strongly pro-EU.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-3561...

And that the only reason a bunch of people in Scotland voted to stay in the UK was because of promises about staying in EU.
We might not have to leave the uk and rejoin. There's precedence for regions of countries not being in the EU while other are.

Additionally the UK is a union between Scotland and England so we'd technically not be leaving, but choosing to break the union, at which point the UK ceases to exist and becomes Scotland and England (and it's associated region/principalities etc). Since the UK is the member of the EU (not it constituent countries) if the union is broken before the UK leaves the EU then it's a legally grey area as the country that was a member of the EU no longer exists.

England does automatically inherit all treaties that applied to the UK, both countries would need to renegotiate international treaties as two newly separate countries. Though of course England being the bigger country has a lot more weight in these matters. But England would not be RUK, it would be England, and many matters such as EU membership are with UK.
>Britain has more possibilities to align closer to Germany OR France

This does not make any sense to me.

Does anyone else think that way? I think you are just freely fantasizing.
And how am I going to convince them that I do not use twitter? (I do not use twitter)
Yep but you can't retrospectively apply a different standard because the result you didn't like happened. Getting such a standard applied in the beginning would also have been tricky given recent precedent (the AV and Scottish referenda) that viewed 50% + 1 as sufficient. Given the Scottish government want a second IndyRef they weren't going to sit by and allow a supermajority clause added to this referendum.
That one doesn't bother me as much as this one:

HOST: "...and that's when we found Joseph SomethingOrOther"
VOICE: "Hi, I'm Joseph SomethingOrOther"
HOST: "Joseph SomethingOrOther is an expert on blahblah"
VOICE: "Blahblah is foobar"

You just told me this person's name 3 times when 1 would've sufficed.
> Scotland can't leave the UK and remain in the EU. They would have to become independent and then begin the application process, which could take years.

There is precedence for the opposite. That said, Scotland on its own would have to demonstrate that it can be a member, but it's far from clear that they would have to reapply. Repplying would almost certainly fail because Madrid would block it.
When I hear that Magento is "too complicated," I have to ask, then why doesn't something similar take its place?

That makes an assumption that the complexity involved is necessary. The alternative to Magento isn't a product that does everything Magento can do but with a simpler codebase, but instead is a more specialised product that doesn't include the features of Magento that you don't need.

The complexity of Magento stems from the fact it does everything you could possibly want but ignores the fact that most (like, 99%) stores don't want or need everything. A simple ecommerce site that sells 10 virtual products has to have the same feature set as a fully-featured online store with 1000s of real products, templates that change based on dates, multiple variations of items, weight-based shipping calculation and so on. That's what bugs me about it. I want to be able to make a custom build that only includes the things I actually need.

Also, consider this - the internet is full of articles, blog posts, and Stackoverflow questions that are about "Magento". Authors are rarely explicit about the version number. A lot of the difficulty in learning how to use Magento well is that as a developer I have to look at the date something was posted and approximate whether or not the advice is applicable to what I'm working with. Perhaps this is something you can address as Chief Evangelist - ask authors to take care to say what version their posts are about, and to revisit old articles to update them when Magento changes, or to deprecate posts about versions that are out-of-date.

(Note: This is based on M1. I've tinkered with M2 but haven't yet deployed anything on it yet. Hopefully my concerns have been addressed.)
