Which imperialist was the non-violent one then?

> Of small comfort then, is the fact that the English have abolished slavery in 1833.

I imagine it was a major comfort to slaves at that time. But you probably know better.

> And "the commonwealth", oh my!

Oh my, indeed. Perhaps you can name another country, perhaps your own undoubtedly spotless nation, that has over 50 former colonies, comprising two billion people across six continents, happily and willingly belonging to such a commonwealth.

Pretty strange thing for them to do, considering all the evil the British Empire committed non-stop, 24/7.

> we didn't even touch the mess that the English caused in India

The mess of leaving it as the world's largest democracy? (By population, that is. By size it just so happens to be another former colony of the British monsters.)

In fact if we make a short list of the most advanced/stable/richest/democratic former colonies in the world, we'll probably find it does not include the likes of Vietnam, Algeria, Congo, Mexico or the Philippines, but does include the likes of the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, India.

Funny that.

> you think that you are special, well good riddance, and stay out of EU

How is it special to be outside of the EU? Most countries in the world are.
A vote that causes an instant 5-8% downgrade in the market's evaluation of pretty much an entire country is something that affects people's daily lives, unfortunately. (I guess it's similar in scope to electing George W. Bush, but it was not clear how bad a decision this was for a couple of years.)

Before the vote, the consensus estimate by economists was that this would be a 2% hit to GDP. Again, that affects people's daily lives -- it's essentially a self-inflicted recession.

Trump is a symptom of a broken political system. I'm not convinced that in 4/8 years there wouldn't be "another Trump" if no systemic changes occur.
Contrarian opinion: I think Brexit's good for Britain. The EU is an example of the "tail wags the dog" situation which I think is similar to the way the American colonies felt about being ruled by Britain in the 1700's. Distant bureaucrats imposing rules not liked by the people they were imposed upon. For example the way the Germany / Greece situation worked out, with Germany feeling they had to spend money they didn't want to spend on Greece and Greece feeling like Germany was forcing them to impose austerity measures they really didn't want.

The British issue seems to be largely with immigration (foreigners working for cheap and bringing down wages for everybody else) and economics (Brits were promised the EU would bring them prosperity, and prosperity isn't in the room right now, so they want to leave). But it's the same sense of the British people feel they're suffering by rules were imposed by an external entity (the EU says they have to accept these immigrants and these economic policies even though they don't really want them).

The liberal opinion machine has done their best to paint pro-Brexit folks as racists, fascists, equating Brexit with Trump and Trump with Hitler. I think this is dishonest and not only slanders the conservative side, but reflects poorly on the liberal side as well (if calling the other side names is the best means of persuasion you have available, it says nothing flattering about the strength of your arguments.)

It must be an acquired taste, or contextually dependent, because even though I do plenty of metrics visualization which is right-to-left, left-to-right for a high-level view of behavior feels fine to me.

Yeah, it's pretty silly to say "no military risk" about any single location. Yes, France is as geopolitically stable location as there is on Earth, but it's also part of NATO and NATO has rivals, like Russia and China, with whom they may go to war with in the future. France has been invaded in the past, and may be again.

If you're really concerned about possibilities like that, you should be storing your data redundantly such that it's unlikely that all the locations would be on the same side of a war. France is a good choice for one location; now choose one non-NATO superpower (China?) and one unaligned nation (Brazil? India? Egypt?).

You want to be reasonably certain that at least one location would be either neutral or the victor in any war. Only then can you say you're as close to 'no military risk' as you can get.

I did test in 1.6, and the performance and output were still significantly worse than in 1.4.

The part I'm saddest about is that because some of the goroutines abuse involved literally building in a race condition, the aggressive garbage collection made the resulting output less artistically interesting (on top of taking an hour to complete instead of a few minutes).

Einstein was very lucky that the chief editor of Annalen der Physik was Max Planck [1] who was a really smart and open minded scientist. He would have had a huge red flag I guess. We are missing such types of editors and scientists.

In some way, IBM APL2 [1] was trying to achieve that with all of their APs (associated processors, APL's own way to do IPC) and built-in workspaces. You can use APL as your login shell, since it really has all the things a normal shell/CLI provides and more. Mainframe APL had all the account management capabilities for people to login remotely through their phone lines, almost the same time as Unix systems start flourish.

Unix and later linux/BSD's took off largely based on their open source and easy to duplicate and deploy (c compiler everywhere), but APL had it's corporative baggage and remained a niche (very much like kdb+ wouldn't go open/libre, and IBM is still charging a fortune for APL2).

>like Britain

Yes it did. Two times the British garrisons took matters into their own hands and hailed their own Augustus. The last time, they haieled Constantin III who went to Gaul to fight barbarians and then bargained recognition from the court in Ravenna as co-ruler. I think this shows that the Britons did see themselves as Romans and that they cared about the Empire as a whole.

>Much of the Empire was not even in current EU countries, Turkey, Egypt and all the richest parts

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.

Thank you! I started to think on those lines too thanks to the Carl Sagan's Contact novel. That was the first thing that came to mind.

There are plenty of suitable comparisons from which one can make an educated guess. In general, Macs do better than comparable Windows machines in browsing endurance tests, and Safari clobbers every other browser it has been tested in for battery life (I have _not_ seen a comparison of Safari to this new version of Opera, but judging by its performance relative to Chrome it could be competitive with Safari).

Safari, of course, has lots of support for ad blocking short of Apple actually doing the ad blocking itself. I suspect Safari + ad blockers would be the best option across the board (it absolutely rocks on iOS devices).
I'm thinking the closest mainstream thing to real messages is probably event handling. Events are nearly always represented as objects of some sort (rather than something simpler like a function call) and event routing is the heart of any UI framework.

So maybe the question is whether we should be using events (and streams of events) more?

But this doesn't seem like a neglected area - publish/subscribe is pretty common and there's plenty of recent discussion of reactive systems and event-handling architectures.

> "That was nationalistic bullshit to whip up the less educated in support of Leave."

I do wish people in the Remain camp would stop with this. Just because people voted to Leave, doesn't mean they were uneducated. I was on the fence about whether to stay or go for a long time, it was only after I put in research that I decided to vote to Leave. Despite what you see in the mainstream media, it's not just a bunch of racists voting to Leave. In fact, I really wish I could've voted to stay, but I didn't want to compromise my principals to do so.

Your analysis is terrible and full borderline racist crap.

First of all. The EU is responsable for Greece having such low bond yields to begin with (back in pre-2008). This was a direct effect of the widely held believe that debt would be common to the EU. This gave a lot of countries bad incentives. When it became clear that debt was not held in common, mayhem ...

Then they did not let Greece default. German banks did not actually hold that many Greek assets, but they acquired more and more. The ECB equally started to accept bad Greek bonds as collateral. The German banks made deliberately bad investments because they believe the government would pay it. You can now of course argue evil banks, but the real problem is the constraints on Greece.

During the gold standard times it was actually common that countries could default and then come back.

> How would you like it if you lent someone money, and they purposely defaulted, with the intent of not paying you back?

They did not purposely default. They literally could not lend anymore money and could not pay back. They only were in this problem in the first place because they had the such low bond yield and now had to refinance with bond yields having reason 4x.

Notice the red line: https://inthelongrunwerealldead.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/...

Just to make it clear, the Greek have a shitty system and they are a terrible government that should have never be let into the EU. But the EU is equally a total shit show and they are largely responsable for the collective trouble.

Technology benefits everyone regardless of where it originates. Advertising is also a massive industry and economic driver that has led to the commercialization of the internet and many of the content, services and companies you perhaps take for granted today.

It's also by no means zero-sum as connecting products/services to customers is necessary to actually build all these other non-advertising businesses. For all the hate that advertising gets, the reality is that it's a critical component for any company's success.
You might find your conversations work better if you respond to what people are actually saying rather than repeating yourself or assuming that other people don't know how to use Google, particularly after they've already sent you links which comprehensively disprove your assertion by demonstrating how many new characters are being added and that emoji constitute less than 1% of the 7,500 new characters in Unicode 9.0.

Since you're hung up on http://unicode.org/standard/unsupported.html, let's read it and see how many languages are missing:

* Loma: 250K speakers, and this is to codify characters used for personal correspondence in the 1930-40s: http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2010/10005-n3756-loma.pdf
* Naxi Dongba: a pictographic script used by priests in an ethnic group of roughly 300K people: http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2011/11178-n4043.pdf

Your original claim was that “Unicode don't actually have anything like coverage of the entirety of every script and alphabet” but you're arguing about things which affect something like 0.008% of people – not even their primary usage – and for which there is work in progress to support!

Nobody is saying that Unicode is complete, but like any other human effort there's a limited amount of time to work on things. At some point things which are used daily by billions of people are going to get prioritized over things which are used infrequently by thousands of people, and it's hard to argue that this is wrong even if you – like me – want to have 100% of human language represented in Unicode.
Isn't that expected? People who voted for the establishment status quo want to know what might happen in the years to come now that the vote has gone against them.

Voting to stay meant no change, therefore they knew more or less the outcome, but now that the outcome is opposite their votes, they want to look into the repercussions --this informs that it's likely they stay vote didn't investigate the alternative before voting and likely voted out of custom to stay.

But way to go WaPo and imply naïveté on the Brexiters.
Very specific to different cultures I think. I was very surprised when I visited the US and noticed cars being marketed towards men with attributes like "tough" etc.

In Scandinavia it's always practical/classy/stylish or humorous.

There's no harm in tearing down something that doesn't benefit the majority of voters in this country. I say let 'er burn.
The article, at a glance, doesn't really seem to give information on the data that lead to a "shorter" conclusion. Does it account for the fact that the US receives a ton of immigration from Mexico and South America, whose population is quite short? Are American families with no hispanic genetics also getting shorter? My guess is no.

I'm not sure why you think looking at three California University calculators for one year's tuition is any more a representative sample than your previous anecdotes. You're disagreeing with national surveys of the cost that people actually pay over four years.

The people in N. Ireland have been resistant to a referendum because it's just asking for too much trouble. Few people here want this region to destabilize.

This is disingenuous. Blaming millennials for not showing up at the poll is a strawman argument, as the vast majority of younger folk did show up (80% turnout ages 18-24)[1]. Sure, it's less than the 95+% of people 60 and older, but there's a hell of a lot more baby boomers than there are millennials. The problem isn't as simple as "young people don't vote".

I think it probably will, but I'm not sure, and I certainly don't know how. That's why I asked.

I am very interested in hearing about the concrete manifestations of policy changes on economic activity, public health, national security, the environment, etc. I honestly have no idea what the implications of a Brexit will be with regard to these things.

In politics, though, such discussion is often drowned out by people's quests to self-identify as whatever kind of person (eg. liberal) and make note of cultural differences between themselves and the opposition (how they're uneducated or xenophobic or not globally-minded, in this case).

The GP seems confident that a Brexit is an extremely bad thing. I have no a priori reason to suppose otherwise, but it would be a lot more useful if they would explain what negative consequences they foresee.
