I wasn't entirely convinced about why the coffee is better than the cold brew method. They both return different flavor sets, and taste at that point is completely subjective. A bad comparison would be like saying orange juice with pulp is scientifically better than orange juice without pulp.

The "genuinely escaping" is the key word here. Many of them had an option to stay in Turkey and they didn't because they thought that in Europe they will get more things for free.

I really recommend watching "With Open Gates" on Youtube and listening to what the immigrants have to say. If the picture of immigrants in the video is the reality, then the government made a very good decision by not taking these people in.

Democracy was also known in Greece a couple thousands of years prior. As others have stated, the ideas were the ideas of the enlightenment and while America was a wonderful project, it wasn't the real example to show that these ideas could work -- the French Revolution did that.

United Kingdom's European Union Exit: What Comes Next?
People like you are repeating that 'anti-democratic' mantra all the time, without really explaining what they mean.

When politicians hear people say 'not democratic enough!', they think you mean 'more power to the EU parliament' (elected directly) and less to the European Commission (one member per member state, chosen by your own elected government), but that's not what they want, is it? What they really mean is they want it to be less democratic, because democracy makes it look like a state. So when people call it anti-democratic, what they really mean is they want to do away with the democratic elements altogether.

The EU made it possible to drive from the Baltic to the Algarve without having to ask permission, without armed border guards searching your luggage... seven times! It made flying from Belgium to Italy as easy and pain free as flying from Atlanta to Pensacola.

Why people reject the freedom to travel is beyond me. I loved every minute of it, while it lasted...

It's not just open borders or free trade. It's about removing barriers and red tape hindering free travel and trade. It's about making sure that the car you bought in Estonia isn't stopped at he border in Spain because of different safety regulations, ending your trip to the Algarve in tears. It's about not getting in trouble because the food you bought in France on the way back doesn't meet the regulations in Austria.

I'm old enough to remember the difference. You, I assume, are not. The EU has brought a massive amount of freedom. Actual freedom and freedom from red tape, but all people want to talk about is burocracy. This burocracy is working to straighten out the differences between countries that caused tons and tons red tape in the past. That's a lot of work, there were a lot of differences.

People keep talking about a waste of money. The total budget of the EU was 143 billion euro in 2014, roughly comparable to the government budget of Finland (5 million people). To put that in perspective, the total federal budget of the US is something in the order of 4 trillion. It's really a budget price for something of such a massive scope.

To the people trying to take this away: thanks a lot. Why they hate freedom, I'll never understand.
Author here— totally agree. Just added a note about this in the conclusion as I think it's worth pointing out.

There's definitely a limit to what kind of conclusions you can draw from my data. Mostly I just thought it was interesting and worth sharing.
I wonder if this could be related to more classes being taught by adjuncts. Tenured professors don't have to care what students think of them. I'm surprised this question was not raised by the article.
> Also, this only shows what people are searching for

I think that's interesting in itself though. "What is Brexit" and "What happens if we leave the EU" are perfectly sensible questions to ask - before the poll. After the polls have closed, they become troubling.

I worry that there's been so much fear-mongering and posturing on both sides, that perhaps basic questions haven't actually been clearly answered.
Yes, in a sense.

(In practice: some private hospitals refused to accept poor uninsured patients, so these patients would be shuffled around in an attempt to find a hospital that would accept them. Sometimes patients would die before a hospital was found.)

I understand one of the reasons EMTALA was passed was due to public outrage caused by reports within newspapers, 60 Minutes, etc. on patient dumping.

From what I can Google, there are still patient dumping cases raised, even though the EMTALA exists. (12 settlements in 2013 for instance: http://www.beckershospitalreview.com/legal-regulatory-issues...)
I wonder why France didn't just try to do something to help Peugeot.
> I don't want to, or need to take branding into account, and neither should anyone else! It's illogical!

And yet you do, even if you think you don't. There are hundreds of billions of dollars spent on branding because it works, it's human behavior to have preferences and emotions and tapping into that as a business is the opposite of illogical.
Poll: Is zero positive, negative, both, neither, or what?
I've recently learned that in some countries zero is defined as being both positive and negative. That surprised me, but I'd be interested to know more. Please, vote in the poll, and then comment if you have something to add. I'd be especially interested to know which country you grew up in.

Thanks.
Zero is positive
Zero is negative
Zero is positive and negative
Zero is neither positive nor negative

Ask HN: Full remote position requirements?
I've heard that in general only mid-to-senior level developers are entrusted with full remote positions (or at least 80% or so). Do you find it true in your environment?

The term mid-to-senior level can means different things in different countries. I understand that 3 years of experience is the minimum for a mid level and 5 for a senior one. I can be wrong, thought.

My US doctor insisted on giving me anti-biotics despite the fact that I had the common cold and protested that this does not work for a virus infection.

Your doctor doesn't make any money when they prescribe something. They make money off the office visit. There was absolutely zero financial gain for the doc prescribing you antibiotics.
If this is for real... It is really sad. I understood that xenophobia was the main reason Great Britain wanted to get out of EU, which is also sad.
> hoping that british exceptionalism will bring everybody ringing at your door

My guess is that they are hoping that the economic loss will be short lived and people will want to continue to trade with the 5th largest economy.

My objection isn't that somehow we'll turn into a banana republic. My guess is we'll drop 3-5% GDP. It's that building growth in a slow global economy is painful. We've spent the last 8 years going through that pain and we'll just have to do it again. It's like shooting yourself in the foot but without actually being on the front line.

Where I have a feeling my view diverge from yours is that the only good reason I see to be in the EU is economic. The single market has been a success and good for the UK. The rest, not so much. I think it's a mistake to leave the EU but not an unqualified one.

"Further, seems in UK there's quite a big difference between working and actually having enough to live comfortably. A lot rely on support or barely can afford anything."

I mean, working is not the same as working full time. I couldn't live on 16 hours a week at minimum wage. I could live on full time minimum wage (though not easily if I were still London based). There are benefits and support available to working people, but not in the sense that it's a bad thing.

Unemployment only counts people actively looking and not employed at all - but the ONS publishes all those definitions. There hasn't been any new/recent fiddles that I recall.
My guess is that both sides are equally curious of the outcome. A large number of voters for leaving the EU were older, so I anticipate many of them aren't using Google to figure it out (as they both lived prior to the EU and are naturally less inclined to search on Google).

Likely its the younger crowd trying to figure out "what now?"

2 does not work for many scenarios. You end up having to build all the FROM combinations which quickly grows out of practicality.

3. use any templating system you like

For example, I make mixins out of little bash scripts (mostly heredocs) that outputs Dockerfile lines. Mixins are shared between projects via git submodules. Voilà.

I don't like configuration management mainly because the syntax is plain stupid, making it difficult to read. Check out Ansible and you'll know what I mean... although I do I have some hope in Terraform once they roll out their feature of "write out the config files out of whatever I already have in that AWS account" (not having to write the config scripts from scratch gives me a tailored example to learn from).

Whenever some bash script gets big (say, 100LOC), it gets rewritten in ruby.
Their were Roman elites in Britain but culturally this influence completely vanished in a very short time after the empire broke. The Roman elite was extremely thin in Britain, only living in a view select spots.

> Sure, muslim countries are not children of the Roman Empire. The empire was, pretty much but not only, a container for hellenized mediterraneans, kind of what Islam rejects.

That is bullshit. The current muslim countries actually have a lot of Roman influence. First of all, the Eastern Empire had dealings with Muslims 1000 years after the west fell. Caliphate took over many of the Roman institutions when they took over North Africa and the Levant.

You can not compare current Islamists with Islam at that time.

Pundits need to stop it with this "mock the unsophisticated yokels" click-baiting and trolling. Of course people are Googling about the EU after a major upset referendum about the EU.

One reason "insane" anti-establishment positions like this are winning (even when they are insane) is because pundits stubbornly refuse to actually listen to peoples' reasons for supporting them. Instead they mock them as backwater idiots and insult their intelligence.

I don't know UK politics well enough to say for certain, but I know in the USA Trump is largely a FU vote against an establishment that's allowing vast swaths of the country to collapse into permanent depression while ignoring the problem and horribly distorting the economy to keep Wall St. pumped up at the expense of things like housing affordability. I can't stand him myself but I know where the support is coming from, and if nobody listens to these issues we're going to have President Trump in November.
Never said it was only that side. I consider myself an independent and while I view the Democrats more favorably, I'm not positively inclined towards either party nor either voter base. Don't read things that aren't there.

But I don't think I can take someone seriously that thinks DOS is better than UNIX.
Anecdotal, but in public elementary school in the US they actually did do a good job of explaining this. I mean I know it's very complex in some ways, but it's also not that complex?
That doesn't sound like something that's likely to get fixed. More like a loophole that's now gone.
You're not reading closely, unless your claim is that disagreement between "disagree" and "strongly disagree" is meaningful. Only 5% of respondents agreed that export-increasing policies are inherently worthwhile, and in those cases (as well as most of the 23% uncertains who left comments), the given explanation was almost universally for small, emerging economies. There is no real disagreement that lowering the US trade deficit for its own sake is misguided.
To the contrary: Americans are usually more invested in federal politics than state politics. E.g. turnout is usually higher in federal elections, and more people know who their federal senators are than their state senators.

I would actually wager the average American understands the federal government much better than their state government, due to the hyperfocus in schools and in the media on the federal government. State and local governments get away with incredible amounts of nonsense because people don't know or care anything about them.

> When the fact is the economy is efficient and they should be making goods even if they are not profitable, i.e. at cost... just to create employment, give people money, with which they can buy things.

People already have jobs, they have low-paying jobs. When someone is already spending every dollar they get, there is no way to make them spend more. All this talk of investment, inflation, job creation, it's missing the basic point that to get businesses to make more goods you first need someone able to buy them, and that in turn means getting them out of low-paying jobs and into high-paying jobs.

The way I see it, the problem is a skills gap. To get someone in a higher-paying job, they need skills that are more in demand. If you want to understand why people are stuck in low-paying jobs, look no further than a failed education system.
Cutting spending is basically Austerity. Specially in the current debate.

Just because it did not work, does not mean it was not Austerity.
People who voted remain want to see what it's all about now.
The pro-leaving group supposedly used a lot of anti-immigration sentiment to win over voters. I infer from this that being part of the EU forced immigration upon the UK that the people of the UK did not want. I could be wrong.
I didn't say referendums are useless/worthless. I just wanted to point out that your argumentation

> This is because in Switzerland there have always been referendums. That really makes a difference on how people see their laws and regulations.

seems not to take into account that media are highly biased, and these do have an impact on people. Referendums are not the solution, but just a different way to express your (?) own opinion. When your opinions are shaped by media (because they inevitably are), then you see, it's not the implementation (referendum/yes/no) the problem/solution, but how people perceive reality.

In a country where media work, you wouldn't have had such a referendum, not because of different opinions, but because people wouldn't feel threatened by foreigners (due to media) - or possibly, you would have a fairer request: send away only the ones who commit high crimes. I am sure that it would have been successful with at least 70% of "yes".

58% of people means 6/10 - this might translate to: 4 people don't like immigrants/don't feel safe due to foreigners.
The original article gives some important context to this sentence, as otherwise it is slightly weird, as both ST-80 (at least in comparison to earlier Smalltalks) and CLOS does not have that much explicit concept of messaging and in both cases it's essentially late bound function call.

I think you're drawing conclusions based on your biases just as much as wapo is. You don't know who is googling the EU right now, or what their motivations are.

Just as much as some remain votes were blind votes for the status quo, some leave votes were blind votes for change.

Greenspan comes to mind, I think his basic market beliefs are wrong, but don't think he's an idiot, I have read his book.

Which is why I don't see why this required 10 paragraphs to explain. I already brew iced coffee with 80 degree water through the AeroPress onto ice, then use cool water to make up the extra liquid if necessary.

And what about the iced Americano? I guess you could consider that to be "Japanese method" as well. I'm not convinced.
