This is an amazing article, well worth the read despite the length. It really starts to get really dark about halfway through:

> In 2014, it settled a case for $690,000 over the death of a prisoner's baby at a county jail in Chattanooga, Tennessee. When the inmate went into labor, she was put in a cell with no mattress and left there for three hours as she bled heavily onto the floor. CCA employees did not call an ambulance until approximately five hours after the prisoner asked for help. Her newborn baby died shortly thereafter. In court proceedings, the warden testified that surveillance footage showed no signs of an emergency. But before the footage could be reviewed, CCA claimed it had been accidentally erased. The court sanctioned the company for destroying evidence.

> CCA settled another case for $250,000 after a pregnant woman being held in a jail in Nashville complained of vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal pain. She said medical staff demanded "proof," so they put her in solitary and turned off the water so her blood loss could be "monitored." She claimed they did nothing to alleviate her pain as she endured contractions, filling the toilet with blood. The next morning, the inmate was shackled and taken to a hospital, where doctors found that she was already dilated. While prison guards watched, she gave birth and was immediately sedated. When she woke up, medical staff brought her the dead baby. She said she was not allowed to call her family and was given no information about the disposal of her son's body.

This seems to presume positive results in Britain which make it attractive to emulate. That seems, at best, a premature assumption at this point.

Yeah they could ignore it quite easily. Although it's setting a record for the most signed gov.uk petition yet. Also Boris who was quite popular now seems to have a job going down the street without people booing and yelling at him which will be harder to ignore.

How the Leave Campaign Won the EU Referendum – The Message
> What if the next elected PM is elected on the promise of staying in the EU?

They won't win the election on that promise alone, and having a full-fledged campaign alongside this kind of promise is a HUGE gambit. Many people would be unwilling to risk a good chance at winning the election over one campaign promise.
UK Government has brought in strict laws for union voting around strike action.

They need a majority of a certain size of a turnout of a certain size.

The referendum had a good turnout (and it's disappointing to call 75% good) but for such an important change 52% vs 48% is pretty close.

That's not good enough for my local bowls club or allotment society or WI.

The other one was "Don't let Trump in, he's a dangerous idiot" which got over 5million votes. But they ignored that.
It's quite probable that the next general election will be after the UK leaves the EU. The next prime minister will probably be whoever wins the Tory leadership election this summer, since the Tories have an outright majority.
To be honest, my digressions were so long that, once I reached the topic of immigration, I kind of started glossing over the details.

The entire point, however, wasn't to discuss finer points of immigration, but give a bigger picture of the mindsets that are at work here and in other topics.

> And inclusionists can think all they want. They ignored my concerns for too long for me to listen to them now. They rejected dialogue first. They were also calling names like you can't help yourself not to.

Well, I tried to provide you with a bigger picture, explaining on what grounds dialogue might have been rejected. You asked a general question and I thought you were genuinely interested in talking about the topic on a higher level. But apparently you're just here to go through the same thoughts again and again.
Ah, ok. I didn't have an issue with the first half, I just misunderstood: I thought he was stating that 0^0 == 1/0^0, not deriving it.
The PC gaming market is different from the console market. PC gamers spend a lot more on their hardware, and in return ask for platform openness and very long backwards compatibility.

Dividing the market would definitely cause prospective consumers to wait for market stabilization. It is a risk bigger than the risk posed by competitors.
This one forces the government to respond, and if it gets over a certain number of votes it usually forces a debate.

That's an option. I'm trying to check voter data against constituency data to see if it would be possible for remain voters to vote for a party with a remain stance and win a majority. Cameron was elected with 36?% of the vote so having 48% should be doable. You would only need to contest England and Wales as the SNP and Irish MPs would support the motion. It also keeps it all nicely democratic rather than overturning a majority vote we use the existing political system to have a mandate from the people to ignore the result.
Not quite true. All UK legislation must be signed by the Queen (or her proxy) before it becomes all law. Therefore monarch has final veto over any legislation by refusing to sign.

It's rarely invoked and if it were to happen on a serious piece of legislation then Britain would in all likelihood become a republic shortly thereafter.

The British "constitution" is largely based around checks and balances based around mutually assured destruction should any party stray from their expected role. This is one such example.

So much +1's for this. Even better if I can query for it.
The petition isn't specifically asking for a 2nd referendum. It asked for a rule to be added to the one that has now already taken place.

>Ultimately the real value of a degree comes from the networking and signaling ability granted by it,

Absolutely not. The intrinsic value of studies is learned from the studied material, the knowledge. Sure,
in relative terms, a research grant allows much deeper insights, and with it the prestige. A student that takes twice as long learns less relative to the time. But first order in the end, applicable knowledge is counting most. The certificates just prove that.
Dynasphere (I want one of these)
I think a set number of multiple referendums, say best of 3, would be a more reliable way of judging the opinion of the population.
It's subtle.

The UK is a net contributor to the EU, but it also has the financial center of the EU in London. On top of that some areas of the UK are net recipients of EU money, others are contributors.

Losing the financial center alone may already tip the balance out of favor, and for some areas (notably Scotland) the loss will be much larger.

Back of the envelope has the UK in worse shape without the EU and access to their market than with.

Regardless of what will happen now, the UK will lose the financial center (it will most likely end up in Frankfurt am Main), Scotland will secede from the UK and will apply (assuming a majority votes for that proposal) to the EU as an independent entity, much like Ireland.

The one thing this referendum has already achieved is that the position of the UK on the world stage is marginalized further.

When Good Waves Go Rogue (2014)
At first I thought that simple majority is unfair for decisions so important as this one. But I am not so sure now. Demanding a qualified majority introduces a bias towards the status quo. In fact, demanding >60 % is equal to granting just a >40 % outcome for the “Leave” option to win. And why should either, or especially the status quo, be favored in a case like this?
Scotland had its chance, and decided no. London independence is just transparent elitism and will never happen.

The problem the OP brings up is when you're a USA citizen living outside of the USA.

It seems like you live in the USA, so you don't have to put up with all of the unreasonable and invasive bureaucracy she writes about.

Guilty until you prove yourself innocent is not the USA way! But that's what the current systems require USA expats to do every year.
Well, now I need to get Scottish citizenship when they get around to being independent to get around the EU since a British passport isn't going to do it any more.

Quite a lot of the not voting were young people who had not figured the logistics of registering a month before and so on. The oldies who votted for brexit had mostly voted before and so were pre registered and know the procedure which slewed the results.
I disagree. The presence of several typos on the main page is a big red flag for a technical book.

Having said that, I'm still interested, but the lack of proofreading on the author's release announcement for his book is definitely counterproductive.
Checklist for Becoming a More Effective Team Leader
I'm a civil engineer. This is bullshit. Reinforced concrete uses much less concrete because, well, you have rebar to take care of tensile stresses and concrete does well with compression so it's much more efficient, which is basic. Also, and a very important point, reinforced concrete (in general) tends to fail in non-catastrophic ways making it safer to use and easier to spot conceptual errors in the project and building process. Reinforced concrete can also be recycled, the concrete becomes structural blocks (I even worked with these before) and the rebar is steel so thats easily recycleable too. In the end, it's cheap and affordable so you can build much more with reinforced concrete than with concrete reinforced with carbon fiber which would last forever but would cost a fortune (this can also be used to reinforce reinforced concrete...) making housing unaffordable to a large part of the world. Do you also really want to spend that much more to make a project to last 500 years without using reinforced concrete? You know that goes into the equation when engineers project strucures right? Oh well, clickbait.
In my opinion, the whole "inclusionist" versus "exclusionist" distinction is much less important compared to "pushes their agenda no matter what" versus "listens to other parties' concerns".

So it happens that proponents of mass immigration in power were firmly in the first camp. They shoved immigration down our throats and continue it to that day, and they label anybody who object as various "-ists".

That's just not healthy and there will be unavoidable repercussions in the long run.

It's much easier to argue policies with people who you previously did not screw other, and that, "screwed over", is what I feel about this situation.

In all your claims I can sense the deeply ingrained notion that, no matter what I think, voice or oppose, it's me who will have to cave and make peace on your terms. What's if it's no longer so? What's if it's you who are looking forward to several decades of your valid concerns discarded and ignored? What if wheel has turned?
No it won't, why would it?

For some reason there's a meme that it will but all the reasons I've seen why VR would also apply to the internet and it doesn't seem to have.

Reality is we don't want more empathy anyway. It's a cancer that stops many good things happening.
As London loses (or is on course to lose) easy access to the wider EU market, as well as its ability to recruit from abroad ... pretty much by definition, a Brexit will change that!

Their massive share is the result of many years of operating fairly, while navigating the dangerous waters of drm. Valve built a lot of trust, and they are capitalizing on it.

That is, they behaved like they this even when they were not kings of the market, so the reasoning behind this is more akin to company culture than it is to market strategy.
The EU didn't initiate this referendum though.

The Lisbon treaty was a result of complex negotiation, and Ireland was an outlier, requiring a constitutional change to implement the change. The change hadn't been effectively communicated, hence the negative initial vote. When it eventually passed, it was after a number of small concessions had been made to the terms of the negotiated treaty, and after a massive campaign to let the people understand what was at stake. The referendum also made it absolutely clear what the "next step" was for politicians, exactly what their mandate was, and exactly what the procedural effect would be.

Brexit, on the other hand, stated a simple (probably overly simple) question, with absolutely no details as to what the exit strategy would be (and actually no legal status either; parliament could legally choose to ignore the referendum results). There was no date attached to the question, no procedural detail, no mandate to perform the exit in any particular way, no bureaucratic clarity whatsoever. There were no "conditions" that could be "slightly changed" in a re-run. This was a blunt-force thwack with no nuance, no subtlety, and no room for renegotiation with the people.

In short, the Brexit referendum was about the least EU-like thing the UK could've pulled.
If you all recall Umpa lead a boycott to only get threatened with a lawsuit if he did not end it.
For you that don't know Umpa he was king of SW after stayalive stepped down. So yes a very large spender. Not to the lvl of stay ( that spent over a million on the game ) but close. We have lost so many great players due to this players that have well over 100k in the game. To keep up to the highest lvl of play is insain now day 2 new cores in 2 weeks ( takes aleast $1k to make a brand new core) building lvl 22-23 March tree 14 this is in the last few months that is about $15-20k to max all.
This is a drop in the bucket. This compiled with lag and poor customer service no wait none existent.
I am just stating that 51/49 settles nothing. UK is divided ... on multiple fault lines. That is a fact.
I used to be structural engineer, and while things may have changed in the past 8 years since I left, I doubt it.

The problem with structural engineering is incentives. It is one of the reasons that I left. Most structural engineering companies are filled with conservative, boring engineers that prefer to look up pre-designed segments and don't make full use of the steel design handbook or building codes.

For example, in Canada if you have a non-load bearing brick outer face (most brick buildings in Canada) you're allowed to reduce the wind load by 10%. I was the only person I knew that knew this because I actually read the steel, concrete, and wood design handbooks front to back while I made notes. Furthermore almost nobody has read the building code "just because" they might hop to a section here or there when they need it, but they're generally not going to just sit down and read the thing.

So when I would design buildings I would be able to take advantage of a lot more things than most people. This lead to my buildings being cheaper / easier to build, which of course lead to our engineering fees looking like a larger portion of the job.

The problem with reinforced concrete is the same. Engineers have no financial incentive to make alterations to their designs to make the buildings last longer. It is almost trivial to make sure steel wont rust (or to double or triple a buildings life) but it makes construction costs go up 0.01% and makes engineerings fees go up 0.1% so nobody does it. Regulators are to blame too. There are amazing concretes (Ultra High Performance Concretes) we should be using in our buildings that completely lack even needing steel because they are so ductile and strong (MPa 200 for the one I was familiar with, Ductal by Lafarge), but it's impossible to use in construction in Canada because the code is so rigid.
Well they could always do a recount.

Or is 4% enough of a difference to eliminate errors?
Risky and less efficient, but also doable by someone without any tech knowledge, and probably more lucrative than pickpocketing, since few people carry as much cash as one can withdraw.
Not sure if you're aware, but WE are the global elite. If you earn more than $34k per year, you are in the global top 1%.

So next time you negotiate your salary, or try to make more bonus at the end of the year, I want you to think about your addiction to greed. You just want to concentrate more and more wealth at the top, even when you know it will increase the chance of something like Brexit. Clearly that's your motivator.

If that doesn't work for you, try coming up with a more realistic model or how wealth actually moves, and what motivates people. Parables about the seven deadly sins make for entertaining and convincing story telling, but are not good models for reality.
I deployed it at home a few years ago - a hardware server on a mirrored switchport. Really easy to set up. And from what I hear, the multi-node setup with manager is easy, too. If you want IDS but don't have a high software budget for Cisco FirePOWER or Palo Alto or $VENDORIPS, this would be a good start.

It will still take a lot of personnel time, though. Tuning alerts is critical.
I like how deeply Baez thinks about the problem, but back when I was trying to figure it out, my reasoning was much simpler. Basically I just decided that keeping the binomial theorem true without exceptions was very important, so 0⁰ should be 1 by fiat. (If you set it to any other value x ≠ 1, then (0+1)¹ ≠ 0⁰⋅1¹ + 0¹⋅1⁰, because the left side is 1 and the right side is x.)
It makes so much sense that Valve is doing it. Valve loans funds to developers and gets paid back in future Steam sales.
That would require them to go through some extreme hardships? And they'll probably be made to pinky promise not to leave again.

Otherwise why leave in the first place...
One thing to keep in mind is that Norway do have the option to not implement various EU Directives. But the politicians are skittish about doing so, fearing EU sanctions.

The most hotly debated directive in recent history was the postal directive.

Norway could also have remained outside Shengen, except that there was an existing agreement with Denmark and Sweden (dunno about finland) allowing citizens of either to visit without passports. This agreement would have been ended had Norway not joined Shengen.

>> According to Google, "[Image Search] analyzes the text on the page adjacent to the image, the image caption and dozens of other factors to determine the image content."

The reference for this (missing from the op) seems to be a paper titled "Evolving data mining into solutions for insights" [1]. I don't have time to read this now and the one-liner abstract is not very informative.

Still, it dates from 2002, whereas allegedly Google Image Search nowadays uses actual image processing. There was a different article submitted on HN earlier today that basically says Google's machine learning algorithms used in Image Search now "understand" what the image content is [2] (which is patently b.ll.cks but, hey).

My best guess is that Image Search does use more modern machine learning but still operates largely in the old model, where it looks primarily in the text accompanying an image- and in fact even treats that text as a good, old-fashioned "continuous bag of words" rather than more modern techniques like word embeddings, or even N-grams.

Edit: basically what I'm saying is that Google seems to take in a query like "unprofessional hair" and return all documents that have the words "unprofessional" and "hair" in them, even when "unprofessional" is qualified with "not" very clearly (the retrieved documents are tiny).

That seems a bit weird- even Google web search seems to be better than that at taking some context into account.
