He does and he's a very smart person. He would pretty much be the go to guy I'd talk to about anything related to applied analytics and sports betting. It's fun to see him debate sports books that claim they will take "any bets". The biggest problem seems to be getting volume once your model works. You're basically limited to the NFL, NBA and soccer. I believe there are good/winning models for college basketball for example but you can't wager enough money to make it worthwhile.

Personally I think the juice is so high that I won't bother with anything sports betting related other than having a fun exercise/data to play with. Daily sports is way too scummy an industry (used to be a semi-pro online poker player so been there, done that) and the juice is very high as well but I suppose there could be some temporary money in it as there's enough amateurs around. If you want to do that from an ethical POV is another question (one of the reasons I quit poker) but either way the field will get more competitive rather quickly and/or regulated/legislated away.

tl;dr: Don't invest too much time in sports betting other than as a fun hobby with a nice dataset.
I'll buy that
pre-WWI / WWII had its fair share of military alliances. None of those alliances were threatened and we know how that turned out.

Imho I think the threat of greater force does not prevent nations from taking drastic actions when pushed against a wall.

Civil unrest is caused by large unemployment especially of the young, which in turn leads to nationalistic and isolationist policies breeding bigotry and violence that are seized upon by demagogues. These are warning signs of something to come. The weird thing is they seem to be popping up all over both in eastern and western europe over the course of the last decade.

The US election in turn I think will definitely tilt the balance. From what i have seen it is not looking good on this side of the pond either.
>Wouldn't that be better than accepting blue-collar workers from Eastern Europe? Are you ‘bigoted’ because I think a PhD from India would be better for the economy than a blue-collar worker from E-Europe?

It doesn't work exactly like that. The "value" of a worker depends on the demand for workers in said field. Accepting a million people with PhDs in particle physics doesn't add much to the economy when there are hardly any job openings (you get 999700 physicist working lower-skilled jobs or on the dole). I don't know exactly how the situation in Briatin is right now, but I'm guessing that part of the reason why blue collar workers from Easter-EU come to work Britain, is because there has been demand for them.
There's no evidence the banking business will offshore whatsoever, though. You're just speculating.
I spent a couple days in Idaho this week and went on a few hikes. Google Maps had all the trails accurately mapped while Apple Maps was just a blank space with no information whatsoever. I don't know if it's a personal preference by now but I've also tried to use Apple Maps in cities around the US and Europe but always end up reverting to Google Maps because of their interface and search functions.
Scotland maybe, though if people have any sense they'll make sure the business is all done first and tell them to cool their heels.

Northern Ireland has absolutely no chance of seceding, they can't go it alone as a separate country, and there's absolutely no appetite for unification from either side.
Note that "deal" will have to replace the existing decades' worth of detailed regulation argued over by many government workers ad infinitum, on a thousand topics. And the treaty says that such a deal is only accepted by a unanymous vote of all EU members.

If the UK leaves this decade, it will be without any deal in place.
Not breaking up the EU = good for the EU. Making it unpleasant to leave the EU achieves that goal.
How do African demographic projections have anything to do with UK/EU migration?

A lot of the same principles at play though. Single currency. No visas. Same norms and industry standards to make "exporting" from e.g. California to Texas painless. Etc.
Watch that erode over the next two years as those businesses who can easily move does so.

E.g. consider car manufacturers. Substantial interests in the EU would love to have tariffs on imports of cars from the UK, and the manufacturers here generally are here to serve the EU market more than the UK and have little reason to remain here if they can shift manufacturing capacity elsewhere.

A lot of UK exports are "on behalf" of companies headquartered elsewhere that have used the UK as a beachhead into the EU. If the UK is outside, suddenly the benefit is drastically reduced for them.
Japan has trade deals with the EU making this possible. The UK will have to renegotiate all those deals themselves (or just copy and paste the old ones? what was the point of independence then?). What happens in the mean time? Is the UK going to remain part of the EU until all those deals with China, Japan, the US - to name a few - are made? It's a huge endeavor and a lot of question marks. I do not envy your position.
Tried to warn HN yesterday about this, it reached the front page in seconds then was flagkilled despite being massively relevant to British tech startups: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11952724
...and Cameron announces his resignation... nearly... will he...? and... yes. His position was untenable.

It goes from bad to worse. Leaving the EU and now we'll get Boris Johnson as well.
That's not true. It's only true if both sides can compete on equal terms. The EU guarantees that. Without Britain in the EU, there will be situations where tariffs are beneficial for one side.
That's how most of the Brussels bureaucrat got there, it's common in my country too. And it does mean the project is bankrupt — the people in power, the ones actually making decisitions (i.e. the Comission and to a lesser extentent, EP), are out of touch with the people (or, frankly, reality). National parliaments have very limited ability to affect things, most of the law is pushed down on them as EC directives. That's the very definition of a dysfunctional political system.

Yes, EU needs to be more democratic, very much so, but "more integration" would only accomplish the opposite. More power to "local" parliaments would be more democratic, or making the European Parliament matter (i.e. be the sole legislative body, which it isn't now) and make it visible locally so that voters care.
>How can Apple be shipping it (?) when LLVM is an open source project and it's not in the SVN head yet?

Apple ships their own proprietary forked version of Clang+LLVM, this is for example how they implemented Swift, which was made open source long after it was introduced as part of Apple's proprietary toolchain.
I doubt the UK would go for that deal either, so it's debatable whether it's a 'good' deal if neither group (on the whole) is likely to be interested in it.

I'd suggest the deals made will be based on trade tariffs and product standards. Deals that required dealing with EU regulation or free movement of labour aren't likely to be popular in the UK.

If the EU drags its heels, the UK will probably use it's position as a member of the British Commonwealth to push for increased trade between Commonwealth countries whilst it waits for EU trade deals to get ironed out.
‘Brexit’ Vote Already Has a Winner: The Gambling Industry
Why doesn't the article mention Emmanuelle Charpentier?
This is the first time I've heard of the N+1 query problem. I went and looked into my code and found 2 places where I had applied it, and have now measurably improved the performance of those pages. (Alas, if only I had enough traffic for it to make a real difference.)

You really learn something new every day if you're observant. Thanks!
They can sell cars to other countries. And UK will still buy them, just fewer.
This is what you would call an unprofessional/childish behaviour helping nobody and inspire fear (maybe just a bit themself though).

And such d* moves will certainly not help them get back anyone where in the near foreseeable future because of bridge-burning.
Makes more sense to me than if you were less educated, but I do not want to start that discussion.

I am only speaking of the general public and not the individual.
This kind of thing is bound to get better as it gets wrapped in with a more idiomatic interface. Things like https://github.com/go-gl/gl started as ugly hacks requiring passing unsafe pointers and stuff around but have made great strides since then. I don't know the details and I'm thinking aloud right now, but the comments about "windows.h", constants, and accessing C via cgo possibly point to an automatically generated solution (possibly leveraging "go generate").

Whatever, native GUI bindings has been a key factor for the adoption (or lack thereof) of some languages where they would have otherwise been perfectly fine.
That's the whole point. Politicians send messages of their power rather than of their economy.

Well, the people have sent their message.

The North of England has seen their manufacturing base migrate to the cheaper countries of the EU while the SE reaps the rewards of the service economy.

The seeds have bloomed, enjoy the fruits.
Where are they going to get their stuff then? And with what currency? Apparently the pound just fell to a century-wide low...
Completely undemocratic, with representatives chosen in democratic ways, membership proportional to population (with UK getting the break there), laws voted in a democratic way.
It is united under one national identity now because the US already went through this exercise. The US was just as fragmented for a very long time.
100% wrong because of one unavoidable fact: people are ageing.

Without young immigrants and their higher birth rates there simply won't be enough tax revenue to cover future social obligations. We know what this game looks like: Japan. A country looking at a steady and certain decline in quality of life. This is what the UK is going to be like.

The EU is absolutely going to be dominant in the future. Collectively it has an economy that is more varied and flexible and the single market is invaluable. As a startup or prospective exporter being able to try things out in your local market (of 500 million people no less) is the reason the US is so successful.
Saying all non-voters are happy is a stretch. There are a lot of reasons somebody might not vote. Health, money, time, negligence, etc.
I'm using index document paths on S3 + CloudFront right now, it's definitely possible. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what I did to make it work. Some more Googling might give you the answer.

Edit: the setting is called "Default Root Object" when setting up a CloudFront distribution with an S3 origin.
And yes, he's announced his resignation.
I thought walk framework was there to reduce the code.
It's because the powers-that-are in Brussels have actually fought against the airline industry's oligopoly, unlike what happens in DC. That's why we have more decent airplane prices compared to the States. That's why we have low-cost carriers being allowed to compete in the market, unlike what happens in the US (with one exception , I think). That's why I said EU is behind all this.
I think EU membership is very good for Greece, euro membership not.
We exported the jobs and then import the goods!

>Instead you can write a block of code with Chef, for example, that abstracts away the differences between distributions. You can execute this same Chef recipe and it will work anywhere that a libxml2 package exists.

But this doesn't really work. What if the package is differently named on different distributions? What if one distribution's version of the package isn't compatible with your use of it? Besides, how often do you switch between distributions on your servers?
To those who think the UK will be hurt more than the EU, I find it interesting that the FTSE (-8.4%) is down less than the DAX (-9.5%)

http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks

Obviously if you compound that with the pound losing 10% a FTSE investor is worse off. But my boss has met many investors recently and his feedback was that more investors were concerned for the future of the EU rather than the future of the UK.
The “Hard Problem” of Life
Have fun paying import tax on those. Maybe it'll be a good thing for UK car manufacturers. Although I'm struggling to name any.
The chance is very low given the amount of unionists, but that won't stop this being used for what its worth to force re-assessments of agreements etc. Expect the Northern Ireland government to be given a slew of new devolved powers etc. over the next few years as concessions to prevent growing calls for it.
Germany is only one of 27 countries making this decison.
Oh, there are barriers to trade with Norway and Switzerland.

I faintly remember a butter shortage in Norway because they are trying to protect their extremely uncompetitive dairy industry.
But compare the Port of Los Angeles container movement statistics, which are published monthly.[1] Those are actual counts. They're going up, not dropping. The cost of transport is dropping because China's subsidized shipbuilders built far more ships than are needed.

(The discouraging thing to see there is that about half the containers coming in from Asia to the US go back empty.)

[1] https://www.portoflosangeles.org/maritime/stats.asp
There will be massive trade barriers put up by the EU/Germany - this could spell the end of the entire European project - look at how hard Greece got screwed to make sure other countries like Spain and Italy didn't think about leaving the Euro. That German cars will cost more in the UK (like everything else) really won't affect Germany as much as the end of Europe.

And now Cameron resigns - I'm shocked.
A good discussion on Reddit regarding the same :

David Cameron announces he is stepping down as prime minister
The Greek debt problem was not handled by the EU. The Greek have their part in that problem, but the EU is just as responsible, for letting the situation get there, and also for forcing the Euro and integration in a pace faster than organically happening.

The greek economy and books were audited by EU agencies.
If a bug slips through reviews and tests in a software project, than the bug is the responsibility of the author? I think only partly, actually many are involved, and the process is the main problem usually.

> European Council is not elected by people?

True, I have mistaken it for the European Commission.
Honda threatened before to move it's Swindon plant to the continent. They also buy many assambley parts from EU countries. Let's see what happens next.
It is convenint for them to have a plant in UK while UK is part of EU (because they sell UK made cars to EU countries with the current trade agreement) but if agreements change and imported goods from UK to EU get higher price:

- Will Honda keep UK plant to sell higher priced cars to UK (due to higher priced of imported parts from EU)?

- Will Honda move the plant to an EU country to have better prices to a larget market?

How how does this work in the UK advantage, again?
100% agree. With modern tools, I :

Think the UI the way I code it (declarative)

Don't have to think about screen resolution, colour depth,...

Don't have to bother with non unicode stuff

Probably totally wrong but here is what I took away:

It kind of reminds me of bounded contexts like the ones from http://martinfowler.com/bliki/BoundedContext.html

When being complex information systems you ended with subtle drifting in what something actually means from person to person or over time.

More directly in regards to having ambassadors working with unseen objects:

Seems like you would need some shared "language" the objects speak otherwise communication is impossible. Maybe a better way of describing intent or information? Like some kind of logical or declarative model + messages.

Also come to think of it reminds me of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentional_programming
Tizen is also a very schizophrenic OS.

First they ditched the API inherited from Meego by their own BADA flavored ones with that Symbian C++ touch, and recently they ditched those again by C + EFL with another new C++ one to avoid losing C++ developers.

Also the native APIs aren't available everywhere where Tizen runs, for example on TVs only the Web app runtime is available to all developers. For native one needs to pay extra.

So besides going back to stone age C style APIs, their continuous change of direction doesn't inspire any confidence to invest into the platform.
Maybe we don't need referenda but polls. Figure out WHAT is bothering people about the EU.

If it's based on fiction, start up the PR machine. And repeat this AT LEAST every decade.

If it's based on fact, fix the EU, or start up the PR machine explaining this cannot be fixed for the EU to work. (depending on the fact)
And a weak US Dollar against the UK GBP means that US consumers will pay more for goods, which reduces their ability to consume, which is not good for the US.

Therefore all change is bad.
This was a very close vote. It should have gone to Remain.
But the culprit was the chancellor, who threatened people with a punishment budget.
The English do not like to be blackmailed. I think this was very much a "F-U" vote.
It is a classic example of a stupid mistake by a single politician.
Sorry to hear that, as I've been on this website for 8 years now, I think, and have never commented about politics in here until this topic came up. But is disingenuous to mark this as "off-topic" as the anti-immigration discourse has been center stage in the "Leave" campaign, and as this topic is about the UK actually leaving the UK I fail to see how this was marked as "off topic".

This is just about decent people hiding their heads in the sand hoping that the problem would go away. It won't. I'm on Sam Altman's side on this (http://blog.samaltman.com/trump), even though he's talking about a different political idiot the idea is the same.

IMO, this is "3½" more Unicode characters than required.
He's just listing news items, the interpretation part is small. Like with the misconduct of north African men in Munich in January this year [0], you can't argue that they are not due to immigration. But somehow you're not allowed to speak of it. Somehow, you have to be intelligent, open AND politically correct, that doesn't match. It will never lead to and honest dialog if some facts may be said aloud and others may not.

And I agree, Farage is just against the undemocratic, far from the people but not far from lobbyists, will make us eat American pesticides via ttip -EU that it is becoming. And what big bureaucratic institution will not become like that?

I think you're right. I'm a lifelong Democrat, but having grown up in Texas, the anti-Trump rhetoric is cringy in its disingenuity.

Part of winning an election is getting people to show up at the polls, so maybe the Trump opposition rhetoric is aimed at turnout rather than conversion of his supporters.
That's a very simplistic analysis of a very complex market.

Any schemes proposed by Leave would probably see a rise in immigration.

And that's the problem: Farage isn't debating multiculturalism or immigration. He's lying about what he can do and about the effects of immigration. He trades on ignorance and fear.
I'm surprised by the tone of some messages here. It sounds like native GUI programming on Windows has faded away...

> NATO's time has come and gone

Europe is defenseless without NATO. All EU countries, with the exception of UK (yes), Greece (historically strong army because of Turkish threat) and Poland (rich experience with Russia) fail to meet NATO requirements on army spending. EU armies are disfunctional and barely able to provide symbolic support for the US Army in operations (remember Libya? EU couldn't sustain a few days of air-only operations).

It may very well be that NATO is done. But if it is, it's because of EU members that lack any will to defend themselves. So how do you expect EU's own defense to be any better than NATO backed by USA's might (politically ambiguous as it may be these days)? Again with the exception of Poland, whose EU-hated government is serious about defending the country, but that's too little, too late.
I do love it when retirees talk about immigrants taking all the jobs... Of course, all the immigrants taking all the jobs are also stealing all the benefits. Logical, really /s

He NEVER said that. You're either lying or ignorant.

He simply said that the UK would go to the back of the line for trade deals and given it is simply a smaller market than the EU this is understandably so.

You may answer no to this (i.e., believe in completely open borders). But I think that the general public will not accept this.
>(The discouraging thing to see there is that about half the containers coming in from Asia to the US go back empty.)

Depends on how you look at it. The US is only sending pieces of paper (or electrons that represent pieces of paper) and getting back containers full of goods.

It is a sad state of affairs, a lot of similar things happen in companies where it's hard to advance as positions of authority are locked out by people who have held it since they were given the opportunity at 30.

It's an unfortunate side effect of increased healthcare and life expectancy.

Politics in the US is definitely an old boys club (just look at all the political families) fortunately other countries aren't as bad.
You may be interested to know that it is in fact a democratic union. The treaty of Maastricht outlines this in detail.

David Cameron Announces Resignation as Prime Minister

I came to HN for a reasoned and sensible discussion of Brexit, and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt.

You are saying that France can easily impose import tariffs against the UK with no repercussions because the UK wants wine but doesn't need cider in return. This is the worst game of Civ ever played.

France has 3 big car manufacturers, Citroen, Renault and Peugeot. They sell lots of these small cars in the UK. Many Britons holiday in France (and own property there). The French economy doesn't want to take a hit on manufacturing, exports and property prices as well as tourist francs (remember those?).

Imposing tariffs on the UK would be a disaster for the French economy. It isn't going to happen. European manufacturing tariffs would be akin to routing a percentage of all trade out of Europe and into Asia.
