I guess my main argument against the need for guns for self-defense is that outside the US, only people living in the worst slums of megacities plus people living in the less civilised parts of Africa, Middle East and Latin America feel a need for guns for self defense. Everywhere else people do fine, and it's not like people getting killed in armed home invasions is a problem anywhere civilised. The occurrence of e.g. school shootings are also orders of magnitude lower.

But the same can be said about mathematics, for example. While true, such statement is only saying something about the process of learning; it does not mean that C++ (or mathematics) is badly designed, useless, or is not worth learning. When you are just learning, of course you tend to be more focused on the subtleties of the subject itself rather than on its applications. Which is not to say that it is a good idea: it is through application that you begin to understand and fully appreciate the subject.
Mike brings up some interesting thoughts. Near the end be brings up the concept of a European Trade Area. What if this somewhat allows the UK to (not quite exactly) fork the concept of the EU and have their own laws. Maybe other nations would join and then you'd have two unions growing in parallel which could merge down the road taking the best ideas from both. I like the long-term idea of that.

At the moment, correct, in most places there is no need to defend against violent crime in most parts of the U.S. It's shortsighted to think it will always be that way. Guns for self-defense is a long-term form of insurance.

A lot of organizations use techniques like Scenario Planning[1], that forces them to already think about a wide scale of possible future scenarios.

But in all honesty, it sounds like you are talking about a black swan[2] detector: The current immigration crisis plays a big role in the Brexit. Who could have predicted how western policy about everything in the middle east led to the growth of (the fear of) ISIS? If anyone wear to reliably predict these really big abstract _changes_, they would probably keep it to themselves and use it to make money on the markets.

There will be eventually a bounce back, but were not even close to it, the markets will go up slightly when Article 50 will be called then spiral down again depending on the outcome of the negotiations.

The UK stands to lose the most out of this, most estimates it would lose considerably more than it pays out to the EU even without a recession, and with it more than double.

The Leave supporters already said that none of that money would go to the NHS and that there won't be a positive financial benefit to leaving the EU within the foreseeable future, realistically that foreseeable future is probably at least the next decade.

The UK has a huge debt, the GBP is spiraling down the drain they'll have to increase the interest rates which would harm the already dying UK housing market, the Job loss projection especially from large multinationals is pretty steep and international investment in the UK is expected to be considerably cut if anything short to a (effectively EEA membership) full free trade and FMP agreement with the EU reached.

Whats worse is that with the UK having already the most expensive undergraduate education in the world the UK youth is now going to lose their ability to study in the EU for free, that is expected to both reduce the amount of skilled labor available in the UK especially if you decide to kick all those Polish "plumbers" that arguably are more educated than the average brit who voted "leave" it would just inflate the UK student debt even further and considering that even now the UK student debt is unbearable you are just compounding your problems.

Not to mention is that the BrExit put the fringe on the political map, the UK public policy is already horrible, this is a country that has lost respect to freedom of the press, freedom of speech, a country where punitive imprisonment of upto 7 years can be cast on being unwilling on giving up your password or encryption keys to law enforcement even if you are not charged with any other crime and one of the front runners for to become the new PM - Theresa May supports mandatory internet censorship (sorry "obscenity filter") as well as warrantless access to your entire Internet browsing history.

If anything the UK needs the EU only not turn full V for Vendetta on you.

So yes the EU is a shitty bureaucratic and partially non-democratic mess but the UK is far far worse without it and same goes for the majority of Europe.
I don't understand how people claim to want to go back to the good ol' days when the good ol' days were Europe fighting over the Rhine over and over and over.
There seems to be a mini cold-war brewing with regards to interpreting the outcomes of the Brexit vote: It's either the EU or the UK that's dissolving. One side must be wrong and it'll pay dearly for its wrong doings. Look, the author is even comparing the EU's dusk to that of the Soviet Union. So much for subtlety.

What about: It's 2025 and the EU and the UK will still exist, still trade with each other?

Britain's Anti-EU stance had a completely broader base than in any other country and for a much, much longer time anyway.

I think a lot of anti-immigrant sentiment can explain the strong political push to varying western members' desire to break out of the EU. People are rightly concerned about the break up of an important institution. However, ever since the constitution was signed in 2004, I think many people have justifiable concerns about sovereignty violations, incompetence, and grift. The EU constitution is an 80 page document, and the people were given an up or down vote on it; that is not effective democracy! When the US passed the bill of rights it did so one by one. There was a vote for every single amendment, and the US constitution is a brief document.

I think immigration is a great thing, but I would have voted to leave. The EU is a great idea, but it should be limited to trade deals and trade enforcement. The single currency and the unifying political body are a bridge to far.

I don't think the Brexit is a referendum on Globalization or the Post War Order, I think it was a referendum on the limits of sovereign unity on a continent divided by many languages and cultures. The US is much less diverse and has, effectively, one language and it has trouble doing anything at the Federal level. Was there really any real hope that the EU could accomplish something an order of magnitude more grand?

Edit:

I would like to add that any democratic institution that has the power that the EU does, but the incredibly low turn out (EU turnout makes the American midterms look positively Athenian) and the high number of backlash candidates (a good number of EU MPs are actually anti-EU) that it does is doomed to be voted down by its body politic. The EU might not die, but it will for sure get scaled back.
Cool idea, worth progressing IMO.
Apparently your stats for turnout are wrong, ref: http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2016/06/how-di...

I had to scroll three pages down to see the words 'emerging markets' in the article. Or maybe the title is referring to 'Emad Mostaque's (The author of the piece)' back.

It would really be good not to use abbreviations in the title if it is not immediately clear what it is referring to in context. I understand it is just a copy of the original title.
I think you're as guilty as the columnist to try and read one's mind. I don't think anyone as well-educated and well-read as BoJo is in it only "for the here and now"; most politicians fighting for leadership positions do have a sense of purpose and historical role, as well as the competitive streak. It is much more profitable, in the short term, to just hang around in the shadows, brokering deals and pocketing kickbacks, than to lose sleep and health campaigning and shaking hands. People who are born from money can be narcissists, sociopaths or well-intentioned buffoons, but don't usually burn the place down for the hell of it.
Does this reflect your view regarding development in C++ and Java and is your comment merely a lazy reflection of that?
>Prediction markets still gave a ~15% change to "Leave" at their most pessimistic

It was 10% in the hours after the polls closed.

The odds for a Leave victory in England were out of step with the odds for a UK wide leave vote for many hours (even though overall Leave was never going to be happen without England going Leave).
In terms of being surveillance buddies, UK has certainly acted more like the 51st U.S. state than an EU member state (by helping US spy on EU countries).

These tools exist. I was part of a team that wrote one [in OCaml!] for the British Home Office, in that case simulating the whole police / courts / prisons / probation system. It's kind of fun to see the effects on prisons of increasing police (more police find more crimes putting pressure on the rest of the system). Whether the predictions are accurate was unclear to me (I was a mere coder), but they are surely better than not doing any simulations at all.

There's one interesting detail regarding tradesman that I only learned of yesterday by our boiler engineer who paid us a visit. In Northern Ireland (and maybe Scotland) many of the trades jobs have higher requirements for being licensed. The trades industry here is more insulated. In England however, licensing comes more easily and has fewer requirements for maintaining status. Immigration has had a very big effect in England that many people were ignoring, because the barrier to entry in these trades jobs was very low.

> Sadly the question is boiled down to "In or out of EU" instead of "How to make EU better".

We've been trying to get an answer to the second question, "How to make EU better", for almost 10 years now. Unfortunately, every time the EU has an opportunity to change, the answer the Eurocrats give is the same: "Let's keep pretending everything is fine." I'm guessing it was last summer that they managed to convince the EU cannot change (from within) with their (mis-)treatment of Greece.
That part is reasonable. The nonsense part is

> They will even ask you this if you say you're on 3rd Avenue

Fine. Refer to my detailed answer below that shows longer hashing difficult to bruteforce.
Like I said, the government failed, not the EU. The Vote Leave campaigners used EU as a scapegoat. The likes of Boris Johnson need to be punished for lying to the electorate and for whatever financial problems are now around the corner.

Brexit is a way for particular individuals to gain influence and power within their lifetimes and to duck the blows of a working-class which, when Labour was strong, would have made them pay for the Tory disregard for the rural and/or low-income electorate.
I like your view of it as a beta. I've talked about this brexit as a "refactoring".

The EU is a code base that grew quickly and accrued a great deal of cruft in a short amount of time. The UK is simply taking their module of functions and breaking them out of the spaghetti EU behemoth. Rather than tight coupling to the rest of the EU code base, they'll be creating new and specific interfaces.
You're assuming a 100% taxed marginal rate after some income level. That seems extremely unlikely. As long as the marginal tax rate is <100%, there will be incentive to work.

But who says income tax is the only type of tax? You can use a progressive consumption tax (no tax under $x item, y% tax from $x to $z, etc) to raise the funds. Economists much prefer this type of tax because it disincentives consumption rather than production.
There will be no free market is different from stop selling. China is not part of the EU market but there are huge trades between EU and China.

Dead right, but nevertheless S.50 can only be invoked by Britain.
What you said was that it could solve the problem of running out of work for people. This only works as a solution if everyone can be trained to that R&D.
But that 52% gives him the moral authority to "do his best" to take the country out of the EU. If he screws up a bit, who can blame him? It's a tough situation anyway etc etc.

You have to understand how those people operate. They don't give two bits about reason and making sense. All they care about is to stay in power. They optimise for that and that alone. And 52% is power, beyond BoJo's (or Gove's or Farage's) wildest dreams.

If Brexit was a big mistake, thinking that Boris will get cold feet now that he has a clear line of sight to his goal (to be PM, duh) is an even bigger one.

The Scottish oil industry is already on its arse so I don't see that coming in to play? From Wikipedia: The North Sea oil and gas industry contributed £35 billion to the UK economy (a little under 1% of GDP) in 2014 and is expected to decline in the coming years.

I have friends that used to work for BP and Co in Aberdeen and their take on it is that the good old days of oil production in Scotland are well and truly dead.

Dead dinosaurs to one side - whatever the actual truth, the media here in the UK (including the BBC in my opinion) did a terrible job of providing fact based, balanced views on the situation. Scaremongering might be a bit harsh - but the UK public are currently running scared and nothing good will come of that short or long term.

The UK currently has a great spot in the EU. It keeps it's own currency (a wise choice), it is not part of Schengen, it's fees are small for it's economy (e.g. Italy pays more), and all sorts of other exceptions.

The next deal will not be as good. In fact it will be considerable worse. As the UK does not have any leverage.

The EU can sort of manage without the UK.

But the UK outside the EEA would be much, much poorer.

The UK was on route to become Europe's biggest economy. But decided to follow a bunch of charismatic populists instead.

Yes but there are powerful forces within Europe that always felt Britain was a ball and chain, especially in the latin bloc led by France. This is not going to be simple as they will insist that a rubicon has been crossed. Recall that Charles de Gaulle himself was against British involvement in continental Europe, considering it a trojan horse. Just recently and for a whole decade, for example, Britain was vocally pro Turkish accession to the EU, against Italy and France. Ironically the same issue was used by the Brexit campaign, feeding Britain's image as an opportunistic Judas. Distrust of Britain runs deep in the southern bloc.

As such, with all these forces, this vote genuinely reshuffles the deck, in Europe itself, even if Britain now backtracks.

This skips how Brexit is mostly about British politics and very little about the EU. Of those countries, only France has a tradition of organizing referendums. The politics there will not get cornered like Cameron (amazingly) did.

There's also nowhere in Europe such a strange alliance between libertarians buccaneers (Johnson) and hardcore reactionaries (Farage).

Protectionists and reactionaries on their own would not win a referendum anywhere.
Grumpy old people

I've noticed a fairly consistent and unmistakable thread of ageism in the brexit articles and discussions I've seen. It would be helpful if the denigration of classes of people weren't a part of the debate.
The article seems a bit of a muddle. He's talking about Emerging Markets. I'm not sure what breaking their backs is supposed to mean. He mentions the Nigerian Naria which fell last week when the government stopped pegging it and has nothing to do with Brexit. He figures commodities will go lower which I guess is likely. He kind of ignores Brexit leading to problems with European banks and a possible Grexit which seems much more of a problem.
