It was a huge lie, after immigration it was probably the biggest vote winner.

Personally I think the Leave voters just realised that what they thought was an irrelevant naming convention is going to have serious hardships in store.

Seriously: Johnson & Farage, the lead personalities of the Leave campaign have come out and said the £350 million doesn't exist. Others are saying, from the Leave campaign that we'll maintain the status quo with European trading. I'd love for us to take it back, but if they were going to do that they shouldn't have campaigned to leave.

The Bank of England had plans for handling the financial downturn, uncertainty, and avoiding panic. Seems that none of the politicians for Leave bothered to think beyond the vote itself.

Politicians campaigning on a specific point should face prison for fraud when they U-turn on this scale. I'm not happy just to shrug and say 'what scoundrels, eh'; it's bloody criminal, far worse than any of the normal criminal frauds.

Ask HN: How to tell my client to stop working on his failing startup (or change)
TL;DR: I've been developing a software for an unexperienced startup founder, and we're stuck in a loop of "'urgent and important' change requests > create more bugs > delay release", while his finances (personal savings) keep getting worst. Even when the software will be ok, my client will struggle to sell it. He doesn't want to hear any warning, nor to change his approach. What should I do?

----------------------

I've been consulting as a developer during two years for a first-time solo entrepreneur.

Having been on his footsteps myself a few years ago, I've been uncomfortable with some behaviors of the client:

* not talking with other entrepreneurs

* not showing the product to actual users before it's ready

* spending all of his savings on the development

* having a development budget of about 30 k€ for a product that would sell for more than 10 k€ per client

* expecting a rock-solid enterprise solution ready for that budget

* continuously requesting changes

* neglecting testing of the product

* not listening to recommendations

Current situation is:

* client spent all of his savings on the development of the product

* we're stuck doing "changes > testing > new bugs > fixes" since months

* client does not want to freeze the scope, keeps requesting new features or changes

* client does not follow-up with his leads because he is not confident enough about software quality in order to charge for it.

* client would not conceive to give up his startup project

What should I do? I feel like we're just delaying the failure, and making the situation worst.
In which case UK will retaliate. Spain would not survive a trade war with the UK.
Actually, you can live there quite nicely without German. The basic vocabulary to get around easily is rather small.

What you can't do without German is to integrate in the society. Which is pretty tough even if you speak German. Without it you're basically disconnected.
On the pay side, sure. Presumably the IRS would still check that I payed my (now presumably higher) tax payments? So you don't really save anything there.

Sure, this happens occasionally, but more often you get an engineer who would like to upgrade just because there is some new version available. Who cares about stability, at least the bugs are new... :( At least that's my experience.
I've been living in Berlin as an expat for almost 2 years now and absolutely everybody speaks English. I'm actually having trouble learning German because of how ubiquitous it is.

The ticket machines are really simple, select region, select type of ticket and input money, how badly can they translate it?

As for the bus/subway, they stops are announced in German, but how hard is it to figure out "Nächste Station," and even in more complicated cases you can pick up the few words you need to understand. Even the hobos speak English.

Startup meetups, events, investor talks all happen in English, I work in a company where the official language is English, as is in most larger IT companies.

For basic communication you should also put in a little effort to learn a few German phrases (which is the polite thing to do) for necessities, and you'll have no problems.
This is interesting. When I try to speak my second language (my parents' native language) as my regular self, I struggle. But when I am impersonating characters it flows so quickly I surprise myself.
In that case, the board is incompetent it seems.
Not racist, but perhaps a bit too coarse. I don't really consider BI to be welfare though. It's not need based, and generally has more possible upsides to it than welfare. Like being able to start a business with the money.

Point is it could be the wrong direction. We don't really know yet how it should be implemented. Experiments like this are what is going to tell us.
The assertion is that none of those are inherent qualities of a group. Reduced work effort is a chicken egg issue. Of course people on welfare are going to have reduced "work effort" -- joblessness is probably what made you have to get it in the first place.

Same with drug consumption. I would question any "higher drug use" measure as selection bias -- investment bankers aren't generally being drug tested are they? That doesn't mean the overwhelming majority are not eager to earn a productive living.

I think it would be great to drug test for it (but damn expensive and not very libertarian). I bet you'd see a lot of well off people not opting for the free income because they "don't need it" whereas they'd line up for it without a drug test.
That would be the take some classes option, yes, and in many places even 1k a month before taxes would be enough to say "fuck work" entirely and focus on learning. I suspect 2k in Oakland is only enough to say "fuck full-time work".
There is definitely a renewed interest in leaving the EU among certain right wing parties in mainland Europe. For example:

Dutch far right politician Geert Wilders tweeted it was time for a Dutch referendum on EU membership.
Front National leader Marine Le Pen wants a French referendum on EU membership.
Italy's Five Star Movement wants an Italian referendum...

So yeah, various populist political parties are now using it to try and get their own 'Brexit' equivalent for their countries. It's not that serious yet (since hey, these parties aren't in power in these regions), but you can bet that if a far right or populist group gets control of an EU country now, they'll try and copy what's going on in the UK.

As for how many can leave... depends more on what the countries are and how much of an economic effect they have. If France and Germany ever decide to leave, the EU is probably in trouble. If a small country/small countries leave, or one that's running at a loss at the moment (like say, Greece) does the same, then the EU can probably survive it.

> To put it in simple terms, you get what you pay for. If you invest in someone's startups, they'll deliver a startup (or fail); if you invest in someone's lifestyle, they'll deliver a lifestyle (or fail).

Whether this is true or not is exactly what needs to be figured out. So far, this is just a prejudice.

> When a programmer becomes homeless and needs money, then that money is different from when someone who got out of prison for beating someone up has no money.

And if that person just out of prison was a programmer? Would that change something? What exactly makes a programmer better than anyone who served his time and deserves a chance?

> I hope with a little thought [...] you can disagree, but please do so eloquently

Sorry, neither thinking nor eloquence are my forte. But I did indeed work with homeless people and ex-convicts. Try it and you might see they are people too.
I agree with you. I thought that both Jacob Rees Mogg and Nigel Farange made some pretty strong cases for a lack of ability to have a fair hearing for redress of grievances. Mogg relates the story of a constituent who was a farmer and had a cow die between Christmas and New Years when the post office had limited staff. The farmer had mailed the forms on time and the holiday hours caused them to be received late in Brussels and the farmer was fined. When Mogg wrote a second time, he was told someone would pay the fine: either the UK or the farmer. Bureaucracy has risen to idiotic proportions.

Farange reported the moves between offices that occurred twice a month and the lavish EU spending on administration. Both noted there was no way for the people to vote down laws or vote out these bureaucrats.

Statist bureaucrats too often spend the people's money with little regard for return on investment. They are the brightest people in the room - just ask them. They don't face the same restraining force as the business owner whose customers can go elsewhere if they don't think they are getting value for their money. As the Brexit folks framed the issue, this was about being responsive to the people, giving them the ability to vote out the whole lot and get others who will be responsive to the people paying the bill.

We have the same problem here in the US. There really is little difference between the establishment Democrats and Republicans. All are big government types who focus on policies that benefit their big donors. They are spending us into oblivion and devaluing all our assets by flooding the economy with more printed fiat currency. Our unfunded future liabilities are even worse. We need to do our own house cleaning.

So I say "Happy Independence Day" to the folks in the UK and hope my neighbors are looking closely enough at our own situation and will will band together to do our own house cleaning this November.
> When country a calls for diameter x and country b for a different diameter y then you cannot sell your thing in both countries.

You're still assuming that countries have to set standards. Many standards are not set by countries at all; they are set by markets, by buyers and sellers realizing that a common standard is in both their interests and agreeing on one. (You are also assuming that it is always a good thing for the same product to be sold in both countries--that there can't possibly be good reasons why two different diameters might be used in different places. If standards are left to markets--i.e., to the people who are actually directly affected by what is bought and sold--then those kinds of issues take care of themselves.) Your view on this is hopelessly blinded by your assumptions.
I think the real problem here is the rise of huge libraries/frameworks/SDKs along with all the dependencies they bring, and the dependencies those dependencies need, etc. The problem isn't in code you wrote and should easily be able to debug, it's in the orders of magnitude more code you didn't write but depend on. There's too much complexity, too many moving parts, and it creates a fragile system in total.

But I think it doesn't really need to be that complex and involve so much yak-shaving. Around 10 years ago, when I wanted a personal web app of the similar CRUD type, I opened a text editor, browser, and the PHP documentation, and it was done in a few hours. Uploading a single file to the server was all that I needed to get it working and test it.

I thought I’d write this article about my experience, to try to draw some learning from it. I created the folder and the file, typed in the YAML and the first paragraph, and started Jekyll to build the html as usual.

Would it have been easier and faster to just write the HTML directly and upload it to the server instead of requiring an elaborate (despite hidden behind one command) "build" process that again depends on a large infrastructure of software?

Me, I just want to write programs, mostly small, that do things that may be worth writing about. And I want to write articles like this one, convert them to HTML, add them to a few indexes, and put them on my site

My advice is to avoid all the complexity and big systems that claim to do just about everything while requiring plenty of configuration and dependencies, if all you need is something that could be much simpler. Otherwise you are "making more yaks to shave".
I had the exact same problem when I first started. Someone once told me "what we can throw away to solve this problem", so I kept removing parts until I got here which I think is currently the easiest way to get started.

I've met with Kyle Simpson a couple of times. He develops a lot of our coursework at Makersquare/Hack Reactor. Definitely a sharp guy and very down to earth. His code can be above my head but he's really good at bringing it back down to a level the students can understand, which as a former teacher I think is even more difficult that getting to an expert level in the first place.
I've found that doing the math absolutely doesn't factor into this. That's where it falls apart--it's not the most efficient if you're giving money to people only to have to reclaim it from 90% of them. It's a fun thought experiment but at a national scale the math really falls apart because there isn't an external source of funding to grab money from.

There are people out there that wouldn't be able to cope with that. If you're on low income and have a family to support and, equally as important, nurture, then you are gonna struggle to find time, money and energy for community college.

With the strains of poverty, health issues increase. Sometimes this could lead to involvement via social services. At this point, education is a pipe dream.

I've been there. Still am there. I could spend the evening reading educational books. Sometimes I do but always at the expense of what needs to be done. Always st the expense of the little family time I have (I see my kids perhaps one hour tops weekdays - that is a luxury compared to what I used to have).

This is with a system where the state, currently begrudgingly, helps me out a great deal. I whince thinking about countries where the social security net isn't as helpful.

It requires a lot of optimism to keep yourself a float in a situation like this. College, through my eyes, is a wonderful idea that is a bit too on the optimistic side at the moment, even for me.
General speaking, most systems are as secure as the intent to make them secure divided by the intent to make them not secure; there's no reason to believe BSD is an exception.

A couple of unpleasant local kernel vulnerabilities
If you want to have a re-vote after every referendum/election wherein one of the campaigning politicians lied, you might as well live in the polling station, as that's where you'll be spending all your time.

Also. It was a referendum, not an election. Farage wasn't officially representing "The NO Party" or making official policy statements. He's not even a member of parliament, never mind the government. So what he said or didn't say before the vote had about as much official standing as what your postman of milkman said —even if it did get airtime because of his notoriety.

Please try and think things through just a wee bit, before making such naïve suggestions.
You're explicitly claiming that it won't stay "irrational" in the 2-3 month time range. If you actually knew that with any degree of certainty, you would be able to profit from it. If a pattern actually does happen again and again, you can profit from it, it's really that simple. If you haven't done so, you're just a pundit.

There is also an internal check by the Swedish police at Hyllie station on the Swedish side, which is done by government officials.[1] (They said in the long term, they hope to replace this system to instead have Swedish border police on the Danish side, in order to have one check instead of two [2]).

It's unusual for the lie to be so blatant, repeated so often, so obviously wrong, and retracted immediately after the polls close.

Here's a picture of Boris by a sign created for the Leave campaign. It says "Let's give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week"

https://twitter.com/mgtmccartney/status/746245181532418048

There's a bunch of interviews with Leave campaigners saying this money would go to the NHS. (And also being challenged on it).

Here's Farage, on the morning of the results, explaining that saying it was a "mistake" to say the £350m per week would go to the NHS.

one of the great business discoveries of the past few hundred years is that people respond to incentives. I won't respond to the rest of your comments.
There are two distinct meanings mushed together under the "messaging" umbrella:

A. One way communication, aka events, goto. Very useful as an implementation concept, but generally a poor idea for structuring applications, as it makes local reasoning about code harder than necessary.

B. Polymorphism, aka closures. This is a very useful device for modularizing code, albeit, in practice, vastly overused. It also happens to trivially fall out from the concept of "first class function". To have first class functions, we need to be able to create them at any point in the program, thus we need some form of variable capture to allow value capture, which was named "closure", in the example below "function g closes over variable x". Furthermore, we need to be able to return the function value we just created and invoke it later, in the example below the invocation of q(4) actually invokes the closure of g over 3. Once we have first class functions, we can add any number of concrete syntactic sugar constructs [classes, vtables, etc, etc, etc].

def f(x) = {
def g(y) = {
x + y
}
g
}
val q = f(3)
q(4)

IMHO, the "misunderstanding of OOP" is strongly attributable to a propensity in OOP community for using ambiguous terminology to pretend it possesses some sort of silver bullet, instead of recognizing the rather elementary computation constructs obscured by said terminology. In some alternate universe, we'd use "events" and "closures", and there will be very little misunderstanding. "messaging" is a false friend between computer languages and real world experience.

"Flush" in the poker context has more to do with definitions 1 (Abundantly full.

To be "flush with money" is to have a lot of money---in poker, to be flush with hearts is to have 5 hearts.

You'll be hard pressed to find many of these "we have too much higher education" claimants who don't send their kids to college. rayiner himself is a lawyer.

No, it's always other people's kids who shouldn't go to college. Is that because there is 'too much higher education' or because they know that if everyone has that level of education, it's more difficult for their kid to succeed easily?

How many of these "there's too much higher education" folks can be heard calling Americans 'stupid' for not knowing x-y-z, 'foolish' for not investing in a/b/c or falling into this cultural or financial pitfall or another?

"Stupid people" are the only group in America that it's politically correct to make fun of, yet, rayiner wants people to be less educated. Why might that be?

Could it be that those who already have financial success due to their education -- much of which was bought and paid for by relatives and taxpayers -- don't want to lose their easy success and their cultural punching bags?

What other benefit is a population unexposed to the topics of higher education? That has never been made clear to me.
