Legally, as far as I understand no. But politically? Almost certainly.

If Scotland could remain in the EU (By remaining, not re-joining, which Madrid would oppose) then they almost certainly would. This means that "brexit" would imply the end of the "United" in the UK and I believe that would be enough of a change in circumstances that a) leave politicians could hold off invoking Article 50 without losing face or b) a referendum for the new conditions could be held.

So the Scottish Parliament don't really need to veto Brexit to stop it, they just need to threaten to leave the UK and remain in the EU to d oso.

The new conditions of Brexit (which really were known before but likely not phrased as such) are "Should England and Wales leave the UK and form the United Kingdom of England and Wales, and then leave the EU?". I doubt that's a very popular idea.
My memory is a bit fuzzy in that regard, but it looks like that one.

Thanks for pointing it out.
It was also no joke.
There does remain the question of whether Scotland, which has no proven history of having any sort of independent economy, would come anywhere close to being an acfeptabke risk for the EU and eurozone to take on.

I'm not claiming to have an answer one way or another there, but it seems a bit of a risk to just assume that.
No, but they can make thinks extremely awkward & almost certainly use it as leverage to exit the UK if they really want to.

(Betteridge’s Law applies?)
The consequences for leaving the UK are well known.

The consequences for leaving the EU were well-known and kicked in within hours of the votes being tallied last week, but didn't stop the English from voting to do it anyway. And if we're going to allow the English to be that reckless on the basis of a single simple-majority vote, I don't see why we oughtn't let the Scots do the same.
NI, despite voting remain, is very unlikely to want to leave the UK.

Scotland 'remaining' in the EU is far from a done deal, we have yet to hear whether the EU would accept it - it has no record of running its own economy to speak of.
In most cases its smaller (in the Django ORM anyway).

That would take a number of lines. One query to check if the object exists, another to create it / retrieve it, plus application code to deal with that SQL.

> The UK has a mandate from the people to leave the EU.

The question no one seems to have thought to answer until now, is whether Boris or any other politician has a mandate to dissolve the UK in order to do so. Does anyone believe that if the vote had been "Should England leave the UK and the EU" it would have won majority?

The notion that Scottish companies would move to England is absurd. Surely you must realize the difference (especially in size) between the EU and English marketplace.
> Then you make it an election subject

It was one of the main election subjects back in May 2015 to whether to hold the referendum or not. Making whether to follow through another election subject would be wasteful considering leave has the majority.
Scotland can't leave the UK and remain in the EU. They would have to become independent and then begin the application process, which could take years. There's a real possibility that some EU members will oppose their application.

EDIT:

"UK Government could use Article 48 of the Lisbon Treaty to apply for a treaty change which would allow Scotland to become a member when it formally becomes independent in 2016.

The Article 48 route has been dismissed by the UK Government and it would also require unanimous approval of all the other 28 EU members. Instead the more likely route is Article 49 which requires Scotland to apply for membership."

Will it matter to Scotland's goal of joining the EU after getting independence from the UK that they would have the worst deficit in the developing world [0] and have, in the past, only been a net contributor to the UK economy in three of the last fifteen years [1]?

It seems to me that the EU might require Scotland to make huge cuts to public spending. Would Scotland's independence be worth more to them than say free university tuition? I guess the SNP would avoid making cuts to certain nationally loved items, but something would surely have to give; either they would get higher taxes, or public spending would have to fall.

Of course, the EU might agree to let them remain and also allow them their deficit, but there looks to be an increasing strain on the EU's richest members, so who knows whether that would be allowed.

Obviously they won't force the UK into staying in the EU but that's definitely not what's important here. They are just starting UK's internal discrepancies which could seriously damage the union and Westminster won't be able to do much about it. England is already a well developed country which can't accept to be under the EU's power, while Scotland and others know that they're path to economic prosperity leads to the EU and its package of regulations and standards. As they France, Germany and the EU Commission likely to be tough on the UK, they are doing everything they can to stop the future bleeding.

As things stand, Cameron will be replaced by a new Conservative leader in October who will be under pressure to call a general election more or less immediately (without the present mess we were not due another one until 2020). The Liberal Democrats, our third largest party, have pledged to run an election campaign based on nullifying the Brexit vote. So it seems what you propose is going to happen, but unfortunately the "Illiberal Undemocrats" are an unpopular choice for a wide variety of reasons...
> Britain's negotiation position is weakened

The EU isn't in the greatest shape either.

In the past, it was always Britain vs. Germany and France because Britain was the problem child. As from now, Britain has more possibilities to align closer to Germany OR France -- which may possibly divide the partners, especially because German-French relations have been strained in recent years. The time of Mitterand and Kohl holding hands like lovers has gone.

You may be interested in http://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2016/06/17/ep-158 where Craig Federighi discusses how Apple implemented wear-your-Apple-watch-to-unlock functionality for their Macs; as it turns out, they

It's nice to know that Federighi, at least, is involved in the nitty-gritty even though these aren't reflected in the keynotes.

Although I have no reason to believe that the EU wouldn't accept Scotland on this basis, a fresh accession might require the agreement of 27 countries.

There was a question last time about whether Scotland would automatically inherit EU membership or would have to apply for accession. IIRC, the EU wouldn't answer the question directly because Westminster refused to ask them. I'm guessing Nicola Sturgeon might be keen for this question to be cleared up.
It does indeed, and there's going to have to be some careful figuring-stuff-out going on, depending on exactly what path the EU and UK take now. There is precedent for open borders between EU and non-EU countries, Norway and Sweden for instance. But that situation is not exactly analagous and I'm not going to pretend I think there's an easy solution.

The PM can't call for a general election anymore due to the Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011. Only a vote of no confidence in the Government by MPs or a unilateral decision by two thirds of MPs can break the five year parliament and result in a general election.

I think they are good enough for the application they are designed for and somewhat of a bargain at the price point.

Having listened to most and owning/owned for both studio and personal listening use some of the headphones that Marco reviews I can’t help but wonder if there is some bias going on with the music he reviews with or whether he actually does have very skewed hearing. Having been used to fine equipment and rooms whilst working in mastering suites, recording studios and I have picked up a preference for probably a certain type of sound but when auditioning and getting used to audio equipment I often test with a wide variety of sources that includes some music I don’t personally like but know quite well (such as country and western) as a reference to understand capabilities across the board.

Whatever ones thoughts it highlights the importance of auditioning oneself and getting to know something well (goes for speakers, rooms and headphones). It’s possible to do produce a good result using MDR-7506 or NS10s if you are comfortable with them and have the skill to do so.

> David Cameron's failure to immediately declare leaving under article 50 as kicking the whole issue into the long grass

Maybe not the long grass, but it's a poison chalice for the next leader for the reasons you say - trigger article 50 and Scotland leaves UK and tries to join EU. Don't leave and the majority voters get angry. (And we really don't need them getting angrier since a small minority are angry enough to spray paint Polish community centres; to print and laminate "no more polish vermin" cards. (EDIT: Both these things have happened post-ref.)
I think a lot of people will be waiting for that information, it's likely to be pivotal.

Around 4 million EU nationals that live in the UK, were not eligible to vote, and they are directly affected by his decision, while they pay taxes and they contribute to the economy as much as the ones who could vote ( if not more... ).
Also, a significant percentage of those who voted "Leave", around 10% at least, now would certainly change their vote since they saw that "scare tactics" was basically people telling them how economy works.
So a false 2% margin is "democracy"? Not really.
And this decision is way to big to rely on that typical and false margin. The circumstances do matter.

Oh, by the way, "The referendum was non-binding, it's advisory".
This is all so interesting! So much uncharted territory, competing factions and general uncertainty. As a non-European this is terrific.

To quote a Tory MP: "Nicola Sturgeon seems to be the only one who knows what's she's doing".

Warning of a constitutional crisis is good tactics. It probably will not lead to canceling brexit, though it will probably break the 1998 devolution law and change how Scotland can "sell" independence and its claim to stay in the EU.

So it looks like this is either to lay ground for a "fast track" EU access due to special circumstances - OR getting special new rights within the UK to compensate leaving the EU.
The way our election system works, nothing is clear cut, it's partly why so many don't vote in general elections and why so many did vote in the referendum. (66% vs 72% turnout).

How would the conservatives pledge? Half of them want out and spent the last few months campaigning for it.

Many Labour areas of the country voted to leave, calling an election would just provide more confusion.

I also don't think it's a good idea to just vote in a government based on 1 aspect
each one carries with it the implication that a direct democratic mandate, to leave the EU, is ignored

There is no such mandate, implied or otherwise. The referendum was advisory. Legally there is nothing compelling the government to act on the result.
Just thinking out loud - probably wandering into OT territory here, but ...

If Spain was to block an independent Scotland's entry to the EU would they feel the need to provide an explanation? If so would they say the real reason - "we don't want to set a precedent and embolden Catalonia's bid for independence" - or would they weasel out of it somehow?

>> does that suggest the complaints about Apple's declining software engineering quality were overblown

The type of developer you would have working on a filesystem are likely going to be from a different world than those who work on UI applications. Speaking about their apps, the quality problems Apple faces are usually design-based rather than functionality. When working on a filesystem, you're not going to be forced into developing a crappy application by some designer who ruins the entire application.
The public isn't ever asked to vote on wars, trade deals, etc. When it is asked to shoot itself in the foot with a non-binding referendum, overturning it would be no different.

In a representative democracy, all you vote for is your representative. The rest is politics.
> each one carries with it the implication that a direct democratic mandate, to leave the EU, is ignored.

And there's the problem.

There IS a case to be made that a democratic majority with a margin of merely 4% is something that can, in fact, be ignored. In the United States, we have these lovely Senate filibusters, for instance, which everyone loves to complain about when their party isn't the one doing them. And vetos. And Supreme Court smackdowns.

The UK has at least a couple of these it could theoretically apply (e.g. the fact that Parliament isn't bound by the results, and some long-shot ones like Scottish Parliament or the royal veto that they apparently never use) but when you put something on the ballot like that and make the entire nation vote, it kind of sends a message that this is something that's going to be respected. If there's a whole new Parliament in a few months that may be different? But substantial fallout will remain.
I posted this on Facebook, so i'll paste it verbatim, but i'll acknowledge that whilst it is indeed grasping futilely, it's also the case that even before the referendum took place, I thought it was a stupidly binary and dangerous question to be asking people:

----

Some people voted leave for less immigration, others for more balanced (non EU-biased) immigration, it seems that these goals are fundamentally at odds. This isn't the only example of polarising goals that people have expressed. Until a referendum is put forward that actually allows people to express the end result they're hoping for (leaving the EU just seems to be the first step, not the goal for most people), I strongly believe it's undemocratic to proceed under the false argument that the people have spoken.

For what it's worth, the point i'm making is the same as the argument in favour of alternative vote (or single transferable vote) vs first-past-the-post elections. The way in which people are polled is insufficient for ascertaining what they actually want. A binary choice doesn't work in a world with more than two possible opinions.

----
Several political leaders admitted that they lied during the election, therefore people voted based on lies. Since the majority isn't that big (less than 52%) is would be acceptable to not immediately follow through.

It's as big as a constitutional change and such change usually require more than 50% to be adopted.
this is 100% correct. It is very difficult to envisage a scenario where this rubicon can be uncrossed. From a confidence point of view, for example, the damage is almost certainly already done, because even if Brexit does not happen, the political and stability implications for Britain are bad, deterring investment. It is no wonder that despite all of these scenarios being bandied about, sterling is declining another several points today and British banks are dropping another 10% after 15% already on Friday.
Depends on their motives for joining the gov in the first place? Leaking and whistleblowing? Awesome! Everything else? Not so much.
I believe democracy is about following the will of the people.

As such, there are several levels I object to this comment, in particular that we have fair reason to believe the will of the people might have changed in recent days.

Stubbornly following the result of a majority vote is majoritarianism, not democracy.
Ask HN: Good software for interactive exploration of quantum/particle physics?
I've been on a big math and physics kick lately and have started reading Feynman's "Six Easy Pieces".

It's got me thinking - what software is out there that is kind of like a particle / quantum physics sandbox? Any environments where you can start playing with things, such as particles and forces, with lots of graphics / interactivity?

To put it another way - what are some of the best 'software physics toys' that people have come across?

I've seen 'The Powder Toy' (http://powdertoy.co.uk/) and 'Algodoo' (http://www.algodoo.com/). Algodoo seems to deal mainly with mechanics and The Powder Toy is extremely fun though not really meant to be realistic as such.

Anything like 'The Powder Toy' but more in-depth?
1. They are not citizens, their lives may be affected but they have no vote. This has no bearing whatsoever on any of my argument above.

2. I voted 'remain'. If this result is ignored for a.second referendum I will vote 'leave' because I believe democratic respect is more important than EU membership.

3. Your 10% figure is pure conjecture.

4. It was a 4% margin.

5. Whether the referendum is legally binding or not has no bearing on its democratic legitimacy, nor on the potential fallout of ignoring the result.
Sounds funny, but maybe closer to the reality of the modern age? So much of GDP now comes from cities & information workers, I'd imagine.

> Oh, by the way, "The referendum was non-binding, it's advisory".

True - though the gov white paper mentioned that it was, in effect, binding because ignoring its result would irreversibly damage representative democracy.

Even if the UK were somehow to backtrack: they broke any faith and goodwill on EU side (not the entire EU but key members).

Politically, the Tories have to rally Brexit - or they will get killed by UKIP in the next election run.

The box is open. At some point in 10-20 years, a new agreement will probably bring the UK back to most of its EU membership. Until then, there's no way back.
