The whole citizenship process costs around £1.5k, assuming you pass all hurdles at the first attempt, so for many is not a decision you can take lightly; prices increased 10x in the last decade explicitly to keep us Euro-rabble out. EU residents can still vote at local levels so we do get a say in matters directly relevant. I personally thought I'd leave national politics to the "indigenous" mostly as a sign of respect for history and traditions I may not be a part of and might not fully comprehend. That was probably a mistake.

Last year I started citizenship proceedings for me and my wife, aggrieved by the darkening mood, but tbh at this point I think I'll save the money for a visa elsewhere. It's clear I'm not welcome anymore, despite paying more taxes and using less services than most beleavers; and it's clear the country as a whole wants to go back to the bad old days of Thatcher, with all its urban decay, racism, violence and permanent Tory majorities. I think my children might get a better chance elsewhere.
Already there are reports of violence against Muslims and Poles in some parts of the UK. The best of human nature at work.

The book "Visual Quantum Mechanics" by Bernd Thaller includes a CD-ROM. I didn't use the software, but I found the book interesting.

Sure, if your definition of market includes government-funded universities. Of course, such a definition has a tendency to swallow everything in the world like some kind of intellectual black hole. This is why the idea of the invisible hand is commonly derided as a religion.
The real question is - can we really know that there is nothing better than CMOS?

Imagine an old star that is undergoing a collapse - the matter infalls under it's own gravity, accelerating faster and faster. At some point, the matter runs out of density - the neutrons slam into each other and the whole mass of the star going inwards at a good fraction of c tries to undergo an abrupt stop.

The leisurely free fall turns into the violence of inertia. Then, either that violence is enough, and the collapse continues towards a black hole, or it's not enough, and all we get is a boring neutron star.

Will the economical inertia behind the Moore’s Law push it past each technology's clang of limits all the way towards some sort of singularity, or will it one day come to an abrupt halt against an immovable wall of the structure of the universe?

The latter, obviously.

Would that wall be CMOS? We can't really know until we hit it.
Irish people can vote in UK elections because of the Good Friday agreement - basically ensured that Republicans originally from Northern Ireland (and therefore had British citizenship) who resided in the Republic of Ireland and Loyalists from the Republic of Ireland who lived in the UK (I don't know how many of these there are) could vote in what they believed was their own country. It's a specific agreement that helped stop The Troubles.

Regarding Commonwealth citizens - I'm not sure of the logic, but it has something to do with Britain occupying them... At any rate, these are legal loopholes and not the standard state of affairs.
It's a terrible choice!
I still see major obstacles to indyref 2: Scotland would have to join the Euro and Schengen, and build a border with England. That's choosing work over family and I bet Sturgeon doesn't underestimate the risk of a 2nd (and final) "stay".

Also: borders are sacred in Europe. States don't want to split/remodel per a 60 years old tradition.

There is a very strong case for indy Scotland (and i support it) but I admire that Sturgeon is smart enough to try and get the best of all possible outcomes.

That's because the whole point of the EU is for people to be European citizens. The intention of the project is that becoming a citizen doesn't matter, as you're a citizen of Europe and you have all the rights that bestows on you. Some still could, but it seems Boris is still desperate for the EU to basically function exactly as before, so who knows if they even need to worry?

As always with these things it’s a mixed bag. How close some of these results were matters. Many of the other cities went remain by 50%-60%. London was a full 75% for remain though. Totally overwhelming.

There was an interview with people at a market on the BBC yesterday and a stall holder was selling Spanish cherries. He voted brexit, but had a haunted look on his face and said he never believed it would happen. The journalist asked if he regretted it, he said something like "No..... but I wonder whether I made the right decision.". So that would be yes, then.

> It's way less effort to just output some HTML, or just make a database query, than to learn a framework or ORM, and as a bonus it's usually faster too. Also, it's a lot easier to fix slow queries when there's one place that has the whole query (with placeholders where possible -- I may be crazy, but I'm not insane).

Do you work in a team? Or do you plan to hand over that code to someone else for maintenance at some point in time? If not, then by all means, go ahead. Another advantage of ORM/web frameworks is that they are properly documented and only have to be learned once. I once had the displeasure of maintaining someone elses custom 'framework' with no documentation.

IANAM either, but that seems to be wrong to me. For any finite number of tosses you may certainly not converge to 0.5 even if it becomes very unlikely pretty quickly not to do so. In order for this to be true, it would have to be literally impossible to always get heads on every toss no matter how often you try. But it seems counter-intuitive at the very least that it is inevitable to get tails eventually. What rules out the possibility to get heads over and over again, an infinite number of times? [1] But if it is possible to obtain an infinite number of heads and not a single tails, then it is not true that ratio always converges towards 0.5. In consequence one would have to modify the definition and say that it is only very likely to converge towards 0.5 but that obviously raises the problem that »very likely« sounds a lot like »with high probability« which is the thing we are trying to define, hence this would become a somewhat circular definition.

[1] Actually it must not only be impossible to only ever get heads or tails, it must be impossible to obtain any sequence of outcomes that has not exactly the same number of heads and tails. There is only one sequence of outcomes with only heads and only one with only tails but there is already an infinite number of sequences with all heads but one tails or vice versa. And there is an enormous number of possible sequences with 40 % heads and 60 % tails or any other ratio other than 50/50.

But that still doesn't justify that kind of surveillance. And if one claims that a piece of land belongs to them and refuses to let it go independent, but also refuses to recognize the people living there as citizen, then one has to expect an uprising.

Terror attacks are a barbaric way for the palestinians to protest, but protest itself is justified.

> Just as the pope would not find atheism an acceptable attitude

Except...:

> "God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience.

Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience."

That is a direct quote, from an article titled "Pope Francis assures atheists: You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven"

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-...

Hence my original point. The current pope, has made more efforts to reach out to people outside his own faith, with a reported 1.2 billion followers, than Stallman has.

Stallman's ideas in general should be easier to 'sell' to people too - they don't rely on faith.

You seem to be painting Linus and RMS in the same light there, which they very much are not. Linus views Open Source as the best way to get great software. RMS views copyleft as the only way to get morally acceptable software, and cares more about preventing companies from making a profit than he does about the actual result.

The biggest historical obstacle to Bayesian stats was low amounts of data available and difficulty of computation. Frequentist stats is optimised around these. With 30 samples and very easy computations, you are able to produce a reasonable frequentist confidence interval, sometimes even with less data. On the other hand, even the simplest Bayesian analysis of determining the probability of heads in a coin flip requires some interesting integration and the somewhat obscure Beta distribution.

Now that we have lots of data and lots of computing power, Bayesian stats can show its results, after getting rebranded as "machine learning".
Curious: who finds this stuff ?
That's a brilliant solution actually. Nicely out of the box.
Makes you wonder what else can be used.

How about power draw? If you can load and unload the CPU at will, it could send detectable waves all the way out of the facility.

Many designers going after EMI shielding and standard compliance completely miss the concept of conducted emissions - the rf-range noise that goes out of the wires connected to the device, i.e. power, rather than RF.

Then, think of the laptop charge adaptors - most of them whine when plugged, and the pitch of the whine changes with the state of charge of the laptop. The computer might be secured, but a power supply on the other side of the air gap is easy to forget about.
Yes, but your diameter can shrink significantly if you have more than a single plane of thickness. Currently the thickness of the die is less than 1% of the typical diameter, so that 2/3 -> 3/4 increase is negligible compared to the >100x decrease in diameter for the same number of transistors.

The biggest issue (IMO) will be heat dissipation and manufacturing time.

There are quite a few options besides CMOS all with desirable properties and some of those with potential feature sizes smaller than Silicon. The problem is that none of these are economical at scale and that is where the problem lies, it's an economical issue, not so much a technical issue.

Bismuth, Gallium-Arsenide and other variations on that theme, various superconductors used for processing elements all have the potential or have already surpassed Silicon for various parameters. But none have done so in a way that would allow massive adoption.

So for now the 'economical inertia' as you put it so eloquently seems to be exactly where the problem is, inertia is only useful to get you past a hump when you're still moving forward, when you're already stuck it is a hindrance.
Democracy is all about individual power rather than the collective outcome. Of course remain supporters are free to pursue continued membershpip using any legal method open to them. And the Brexit gang are free to try and stop them. IMHO the Brexiteers would almost certainly win the argument so it is not worth pursuing.

On immigration I worry that we will see a crack down on non-EU immigration to allow continued EU immigration. People will argue that they are closer to us culturally, and they would be right. It is hard to see how the government can avoid appeasing ant-immigrant sentiment at this point.

I agree 100% that we need a better voting system. I can't stand UKIP, but I absoutely think they should have more representation in parliment. It would be good to use this as an oppurtunity to reform the house of lords into being fully elected. Give them the authority that the EU held in terms of long term regulation. We need an institution that can take a long term view which we will sorely miss post Brexit.

There's the people who said "wait, we never knew about all these things, we would have voted differently if we had known".

Hidden in the same discussion paper is the fact that the Northern Ireland (and Welsh) parliaments would also have to ratify the new laws required to remove EU law from their legal systems.

The Northern Ireland parliament would be incompetent if they voted for it. Removing the EU from Northern Ireland would break the Good Friday agreement and has the real potential to throw them back into war.

You are confusing this method with one time SMS. This isn't SMS, it uses the Javacard-based SIM toolkit to decrypt a challenge sent to to the mobile number. the passcode for decryption is usually a 4 or 6 character PIN number. For an attacker to MITM this he would have to both have the number assigned to his own SIM and he would also have to impersonate the victim an show up in person to a bank or a security apparatus and social engineer his way so they program the new SIM with his personal PIN. a bit harder that just calling up the service provider to say 'I lost my mobile phone, i have this extra SIM card laying around, can you assign my number to that?'

> We need some more software engineering in the javascript space instead of cowboy hacking

Are you saying that the ability to write entreprise java code is what separates "software engineers" from "cowboy hackers" ? That statement is arrogant.

My point is the use of Typescript doesn't produce idiomatic Javascript code, since it encourages writing front-end code a certain way. You might like it, fine, I'm personally not willing to deal with that kind of over engineering blessed in the Java world, I know what it leads to. If this approach was really successful everybody would be using JWT by now. Obviously they don't.
Cassini also spent several years exploring Saturn system, but discovery of geysers on Enceladus and rivers/lakes on Titan only makes them more interesting.

Gas giants by itself are less interesting. Sure they will photograph those enormous clouds up close and measure their oxygen/hydrogen ratio with more precision, and maybe that's exciting for some scientists.

But you look at Europa and Enceladus and can't help but imagine rovers driving there one day, and can you imagine some craft floating down the river on Titan shooting 360 video?
