> But old people have more experience and more are more invested

In what way are they more invested? They have ~5-25 more years left and then it makes no difference to them. Furthermore, they're likely pretty settled in their life and already retired.

Young people are still building their lives, trying to establish their career. They're likely going to be denied the opportunity to live and work in 27 countries. I think it's pretty disgraceful that they've torpedoed our future based on their hazy rose-coloured memories of some supposedly-better past.
I don't think they think they can win this. I think they think, in my opinion wrongly, that customer loyalty to iProduct eclipses customer loyalty to 3.5mm.

Remember, this is the company that thought the only phone everyone wanted was a bigger, more breakable one. Apple's good, but I just don't think they're as good as they think they are.
@bovermyer:

I don't believe it is the ONLY way, but history has repeatedly proven that humans find it to be the most efficient way (and therefore, preferred).

Like you, I'd be far happier if the humans with power would actively seek out alternative paths. However, for a significant minority of people, the old adages, might makes right and history is written by the victors are the way that they -- and the rest of us, by association -- progress.
>Poland is being taken over by right-wing party

Funny, two years ago everyone here was calling them a left-wing party.

>reduces citizen rights, violates constitution

They haven't done anything that the previous party didn't, but since the previous party lost this election the very same people who did it for the previous 8 years suddenly act like they have the moral high ground.

>oppresses minorities

Not wanting uncontrolled immigration is not "oppressing minorities".

>removes the separation of the state and church

This has never been as severe as people like to claim, even back in 2006.
Switzerland and Norway (where I'm from) has the worst of it. They're essentially member states without any voting privileges. We pay a large sum of money each year, and we implement a most of their laws, without any representation in the union proper.
One of the key arguments against independence was uncertainty over if/how soon we would join the EU. At the time that vs just staying in. Now it's vs definitely leaving. So while the argument hasn't changed the alternative has.

We've also had almost 2 years of Westminster failing to deliver any of the promised devolution. We get these things are slow to happen but there's been pitiful progress towards them so far. Lots of people voted No on the basis of more devolution.

So while the arguments haven't changed the alternative to independence has for the worse. I'm honestly struggling to see a future without an independent Scotland tbh.
> communication between objects could be learned from cells

So, message queues? I completely agree.
The institution offering the education must be able to test if their education is effective, education doesn't work well without tight feedback loops. Neither teachers nor students are drones whose behavior can be measured by some perfect third party process or human(s).

That said what passes for education at most places works best when you do start treating teachers and students as drones. The logical conclusion of that is something like Khan Academy with spaced repetition, and the savings in time and money worldwide would be tremendous if that system were to be embraced by the US department of education. What passes for education is definitely worthwhile for some things, but it's not really in the traditional spirit of education.
What difference does it make if the workers come from eu or non eu countries?

They're still foreign workers.

The downward pressure on wages is fine - the polish guy says I'll work for half that, the British guy says OK I'll work for a bit less than the polish guy. The polish guy says I'll go cheaper, the British guy says that's no longer best for me, I can earn more by doing X instead. More work done, and now there's 2 taxpayers instead of just one.

Presumably the British guy went to another job, didn't just turn up their nose and say 'I'm not working for that! I'm claiming benefits / going to crime instead'
> A large section of the working class, concentrated in towns and cities that have been quietly devastated by free-market economics, decided they’d had enough.

As if if the UK had not been an EU member the last 30 years the situation would have been better.

At least so far they had some advantages (presence of the financial district, easy access to a large market), those will disappear too.

The end result could very well be a much worse situation for those voting 'leave' when the ones voting 'remain' will see a relatively small effect.
Yeah, let's close the gates and pretend the rest of the country does not exist.
Which has the same consequence. Alternatively, they'll have longer to change things than the older generation too.

I think they would. From their point of view it would be an improvement over the current state of affairs. As the border controls would go down. (Even though I think that would be a remote possibility.)
> After all, many of the older people who voted yesterday where around before the EU came about, and are able to factor in that extra information, plus their historic perspective in their decision, which, by definition, makes for a more informed decision.

Not necessarily. You'll still end up with people making decisions based on looking at the past with rose-coloured glasses, which isn't necessarily a fact-based decision. I think it's also equally likely that people will draw conclusions from economic conditions that had zilch to do with whether the EU existed or not. Thinking that experience necessarily leads to a informed decision ignores the way that humans works.
I would agree with you here, and I think most googlers would too. We trust people to make sensible choices about this, and tend to be quite angry with blatant abuse, because it's abusing the trust as well as the perk.
Well, sorry to say this (it might offend Americans), but nobody important at the time really cared. Except for Britain, as the directly involved party. The US at the time was a minor player and its independence and democratic process didn't really affect a lot of people. Abraham Lincoln, ~80 years after the American Revolution was replying to San Marino's government along the lines: you are the only fellow state in the world (San Marino being the oldest republic in the world) in this period of turmoil (i.e. Civil War).

The French Revolution was the event that kick-started the spread of democratic ideas and regimes throughout the Old World. It brought about the downfall of the medieval regimes, the abolition of serfdom and slavery, etc.

The American Revolution was more of a symbolic event at the time. On the other hand the fall of the French monarchy was a colossal event at the time: the new French Republic was continuously attacked by all its neighbors to prevent the dangerous ideas from spreading.

> Do you think the vote of young people should weigh more than the vote of old people?

Sure, why not? At a shareholders meeting, people with more shares get more say. Young people had much more at stake in this vote than old people.

This isn't like a normal election where there can be a course correction in a few years. In all likelihood this was a once in a generation decision, and the old folks voted to take away young peoples' right to live and work anywhere in Europe.
You're ignoring the fact that among these 48% there are people who strongly believe in democracy and if you undermine that you suddenly can have the 30/70 scenario you're talking about.
For anybody curious, I think he's hinting at modern effect systems, on which there's lots of research these days. He advised for instance Lukas Rytz PhD thesis at EPFL (and Lukas Rytz is still working on Scala, now at Lightbend).
At my university (UCSB '12), grades were close to meaningless. I got a BSc in Math and graduated with a 2.8 (or lower?) because I loaded up on upper division math courses. I had friends who got 3.9's because they got a BA in communications or biz. econ. So clearly GPA varies heavily with degree, not to mention institution.

There were some professors who straight up said they always failed the bottom X percent of the class. So if you knew the material and "passed," you still got an F. Or the professor whose final was literally "memorize this two page proof and regurgitate it verbatim." Or the <ethnic/gender> studies professor who fail your papers for disagreeing with them.

There should just be Pass / Fail. Enough with this GPA circus.

Completely not true. They air hours upon hours of uncut press conferences. They could easily summarize the press conference in a 90 second piece ("Chris Christie endorsed Donald Trump today..."), but they don't.

Agree, independent little is ..difficult. My main argument though was that the EU must somehow? reform and that this vote was a (partly dissapointing, partly brave) request for it. UK belongs to Europe and a re-negotiated 'Union-solution' can and will be found, I'm quite sure. EU also has nothing to offer if too many countries leave...
Maybe focus less on disruption and design for long-term stability and sustainability instead?
By using the prior admissions test scores you are assuming that those factors are relevant to a population that has graduated and passed your own screening.

Unless applying your screening to a population somehow magically eliminates all variation that previously existed across the populations, that's a perfectly valid assumption.

The argument that if the prior is wrong, it hurts you is of course true. Similarly a uniform prior in a non-uniform situation will hurt you - see this example for an illustration of how ignoring base rates can spread HIV. https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/why_gays_cant_donate...

As someone who voted to remain I have to say if I was from one of the other EU countries I would be happy with the result. Short term it's going to be difficult for the EU but if they can hold things together it'll be good for them to have gotten rid of a partner that isn't fully in and wants special privileges. That just creates friction.
I second that, difference is too small and I don't know what the attendance was. Was it 100% of people who can vote voted?
It recovered. You just dident get any of it.
>> " right-wing party, which reduces citizen rights, violates constitution, oppresses minorities, removes the separation of the state and church."

These are just big fat lies that are being spread by the politicians that lost last elections. None of this is actualy happening in Poland.

Minorities are just fine, no action has been taken against any of them, citizen rights are in fact better than in most EU countries (no "political correctness") and the separation of church and state is ensured by the fact that 90% of Polish citizens don't treat their religion seriously anyway.

The one thing that makes some sense is accusation of constitution violation, but this has more to do with the fact that Polish constitution is poorly written than with any actions of PiS.

And, as a side note, PiS (ruling party in Poland) is of left-wing, socialist affiliation:)
The Daily Mail has a lot of readers.
Click ublock icon, click power icon, done.
Just what.
Poland pretty much had only small scale farmers (Apart from some post-communist behemoths that were gangrenic) when it joined the EU. Our farmers have never been better or stronger, 15 years ago going to a countryside was like time travel to 1950. Now the countryside actually is a place to live. Same in Austria or Italy. The cooperatives there function properly. What are you on about?
I probably don't have as much experience as others, but I've dabbled around in a few languages and I think my best/most fun experience was when I were learning and creating a couple GUI desktop programs with Qt framework in C++ using their Qt Creator IDE.

Their is a lot wrong with what you say. Clearly you are not up with current historical studies on the 'Treaty of Versaille'. The treaty was actually not particularly hard or in any way impossible to mean by Germany. If Germany had better leadership they could easily have moved passed it and be the most wealthy nation again.

What they are doing to Greece is actually much worse then Versaille. It has to do with the issue that Greece should have defaulted years (I was arguing this even in 2008) and change their government. Because of EU (EMU) logic this can not happen. So Greece is forced to change its government in the context of huge debt and even worse a flat demand curve (look at EU NGDP and Greece NGDP). Greece is about the only country that actually did significant Austerity but its not working. The EU should have let them default or take over their debt completely.

You are probably right that PR is the main issue. It was with 'Versaille' as well. German government PR is the main reason why you use 'Versaille' as an example of evil practice. Maybe the most successful example of PR in the last 100 years.
This behaviour really piss me off.

Ask HN: iOS Devs: Where do you get your clients / projects?
I am a long time lurker here. I started solo 1 year back to try some product ideas, but, it didn't work out yet.
As I am running out of cash, I am looking for projects especially building native mobile apps. I find it difficult and confusing thinking about how to attract such projects.

For background, I have published 10+ apps in the Appstore done while working for previous company. 90%+ of the work of these apps were done myself (excluding design). But, those are client apps for various companies, not as slick as Uber app and none of them have big downloads.

People telling there is lot of opportunity for mobile apps developers, but, I don't see that sitting here in SE Asia.

> Not wanting uncontrolled immigration

So you don't want what your country benefited dramatically from in the last 15 years, when Polish people moved to UK to work, sending home additional capital and reducing demographic pressure. I apologize if this sounds inflammatory, it's not meant to but: it is, objectively, a very hypocritical position.
Uncontrolled immigration is a bit of a misnomer. Where do you draw the line?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for exactly, but Trails in the Sky is pretty good. It's on GOG for PC. It has one of the most detailed worlds I've ever seen in an RPG -- almost every NPC has a name and updates dialogue after every event.

Can personally confirm that it works pretty well with WINE on Linux (even got my xbox360 controller to work using xboxdrv in xpad mode, shockingly) -- just the intro movies won't play, but other than that it works great.
You had democracy, and you still do.

Now Latvia has veto power on whether the UK can have access to the single market (provided that the UK ever leaves, something that has not happened).
> So which other DE on GNU/Linux does provide the same tooling and platform abstractions as KDevelop/Qt Creator do?

Same or similar? It doesn't matter what they provide because I'd go with ScalaFX(http://www.scalafx.org/) + IntelliJ or Vala|Genie + Vala IDE. Mono is also an option if you're into it.

> but it is stuck in C + POSIX as technology stack in what concerns developer experience.

Yes, GTK isn't the newest but it isn't hard at all to develop apps with Vala/Genie(https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/GTKSample , https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Genie/GtkGuiTutorial ?)

Yes, exactly.

In theory those who provide most money can decide the most how is it going to be spent.

In practice I'm assuming taxes provide funds only for a very small part of a country spendings.

To be fair, for someone who actually lives in the US, I can say I am well in the middle class who enjoys these blessings. As with any place in any country it's going to have its underdeveloped parts.
For your first bit, do you mean things like fathers paying some shop owner some money to give their sons a chance at a job over some other kids that went through a hiring process, or do you mean things (still going on) like politicians backing certain regulations that just so happen to mightily benefit the corporation they become a highly paid member of when they lose their reelection or retire?

Pay-to-play, spending money to make money, has usually been the rule even if you're born rich. The trick is always on how to spend less money than other people at your level to make the same or more -- your required piece of paper, while still more expensive than it used to be, isn't unavoidably crippling-debt expensive, and so with a little forethought you can get in the game with a lot less expense than some of your peers.

If basic income can somehow work economically we might turn into a free-to-play system, I don't know if that would actually be better overall though.
I can imagine that there will be a lot of negotiations over the next two years - I can imagine a UK government asking for conditions to be applied to a Scottish entrance to the EU with the EU government getting something it wants in return.

I can't imagine that our new, and probably far more right wing, government will be keen on Scottish independence and will probably take every opportunity to raise road blocks that will prevent it.

Europe goes more to the east than some UK :) in fact it seems to be stopping just right before that these days. It seems to be your personal UK-centric view.

trust me, people from central/east Europe feel very threatened by Russia's attacks on Ukraine. You haven't been through in past what we have been and obviously it's sometimes hard to learn from other's lessons...
Yes, technically - the ECHR uses the European Council as its enforcement arm. The European Council is separate from the EU. This isn't particularly widely understood, which is what's going to cause the issues - if people believe that they voted to be apart from the rest of Europe politically, the idea that we still have to adhere to judgements from a court that is not a part of the UK justice system is going to be unpalatable to many, whether they actually voted for that or not.

The result of that is going to be pressure on politicians to see how much the Government can get away with ignoring or only partially implementing ECHR judgements. Given that the only thing the European Council can actually do is put political pressure on us, it's possible that the Government might have a lot of leeway.

Additionally, both the Conservatives and UKIP agree on wanting to step away from the ECHR (and thus the European Council) entirely, with the Conservatives wanting to implement our own Bill of Rights to be implemented by British courts.
