De jure it does not. De facto, well... at the point where you're selling gizmos on Amazon and nothing's happening to the sellers or the purchasers, it probably doesn't matter.
I currently have it hooked up into Ansible, which generate a cert automatically for each domain we load balance (in Haproxy). It works very well, although wildcards would be much nicer.
That is a normal reaction in the near future, because London will lose its role as the European Banking Authority among other things... but in the long run, freed from the EU regulation, it only remains for the UK to become a big tax heaven among the likes of Switzerland and the British Virgin Islands.
So Hey You Should Stop Using Texts for Two-Factor Authentication
You are tacitly forgetting Scotland and Northern Ireland leaving the UK soon... very soon while being welcomed into the EU and the major impact that will have in British economy.
It's a crappy service. When the cluster autoscales to deal with load the cluster becomes unavailable for a minute or two while it restarts. In my previous role we had a very large cloud search cluster that was always under high load and very frequently threw 500s when the environment scaled up.
Are they? And why would they do that, fear of confiscation or something?
Indeed - nobody knows anything about the future so its' a moot point.

And agreed the UK's short-term econonomy is pretty much the least of its problems. But do you have a scenario in which it ends up peachy keen for the UK and Europe by about 2020? I sure as hell can't think of one.
That's not how mission planning works. They don't start with something roughly like Juno and decide which planet to send it to. Rather, the planet and rough scientific mission is picked first, then the probe is designed around that.

I guess you could just mean "There is an RTG shortage, so we can't send anything past Jupiter", but I don't think this is actually how the decision was made.
>free access to 1998 Stanford servers and bandwidth was nothing like getting AWS for free.

I wasn't comparing 1998 Stanford technology to 2016 AWS as if it was apples to apples. The "AWS" was a modern analogy to give an idea of what they didn't have to spend money on compared to other startups. In 1997, if you didn't have a university to host your (potential business) website, what were the options? You could call up one of the IBM/HP/Origin managed data centers and have them rack some servers. But that costs money, and requires a contract, etc, etc.
UK, or London? Serious question - the concentration of finance and money in the City of London makes me wonder if the city has some different rules than the rest of the UK.
For me thats the opposite. I prefer "rows = connection.exec_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE has_foo=true LIMIT 10")", because i can read and understand the query. By reaing it i can already tell if it is a good query etc. while "User.where(has_foo: true).limit(10)" tells me nothing.
You're relying on an unlikely level of sanity in the politicians.

It's interesting that this article mentioned Ireland with regards to corporate taxes. I don't know the background to the Apple story noted in the article, but I am well aware that corporate tax is not standardised across Europe.[1]

Ireland also has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU at 12.5%. I'm about to embark on a new venture which will require a Limited company. Ireland is extremely attractive due to the low corporate tax rate and the ease of starting a new Limited company. The other good options are the Baltic countries, such as Estonia, but things are more complex in terms of initial capital costs and somewhat of a language barrier. Or go properly offshore.

If the UK really wanted to become a tax haven for the rich, they would lower corporate and top personal tax rates. There are some plans to lower UK corporate tax from 20% to 18%, but it's still not really enough to entice many and lay claim to being a tax haven.

There's a lot of cargo cultism in modern UI design.
> Things needing call-back functions need to support an extra void* of course, and sadly it is often left out.

Well when doing the right thing means writing more verbose code, it's no surprise that people do the quick-and-dirty thing (see http://www.haskellforall.com/2016/04/worst-practices-should-... ). Since "everyone knows" that best practice for a callback is to take a function pointer and a void * , wouldn't it be better to have that idiom built into the language? (i.e. a concise syntax for the pair of callback-and-void * , and a concise syntax for "invoking" the pair, passing the extra void * along with the "ordinary" arguments).
>However. In MacOs Sierra, Apple will introduce the Universal Clipboard feature. This means when someone copies a password on desktop, it would be available on their phone. Which is just one step away from being pasted, by mistake, into an IM chat or worse.

If Apple has any sense at all they will allow apps to mark content being put in the clipboard as local-only. Otherwise this feature will leak all kinds of information intended to be private (passwords, stuff copied from incognito browser windows, financial information from tax software, etc).
The schooling is different but the techniques overlap. Sally Prasch at Syracuse University (http://praschglass.com/) is a master in both fields. My personal experience with the bong types, though, is that the great majority is undertrained.

I saw a similar article where temperature was used to transmit information. Of course, it was very low bitrate, but it worked.

Perhaps a solution would be to design a CPU where every instruction consumes exactly the same ammount of power.
we can expect politics in the UK to become dangerously divided and unsettled

Other way round. UK politics was already divided and unsettled, it's just that an illusion of stability and consensus has been pasted on the front. The cardboard facade has collapsed when asked to bear weight - just look at the leadership chaos!

This referendum and its result is really a result of dozens of problems which have been pushed under the rug. It's all the unexploded bombs of nasty controversies that were never properly defused, just piled up in a corner.

The "immigration" question covers lots of nasty questions, for example. What is the EU doing about refugees? Why has Sangatte festered for so long? What should the right response to radical islamist violence be? What is the economic function of towns whose businesses collapsed in the 70s and have not improved? What's going on in the "crap towns" like Great Yarmouth and Boston, Lincs.? Why are voters struggling to get GP appointments and school places?

What is the UK constitution? Don't say "unwritten", because that's not true; instead it's scattered bits and pieces from Factortame to the Good Friday Agreement. That's why we're having this discussion about Scotland blocking it - it's not clear how any of this works. Is it really a good idea that Parliament can make big constitutional changes by simple majority (e.g. Fixed Term Parliaments Act)? Why do we have so many different voting systems but use the crap one for the important election? Does the House of Lords count as "undemocratic" compared to, say, the EU commission?

What is the proper relationship of the non-English parts of the UK to the Union? Scotland regards Westminster as the distant, unaccountable elite and finds the distant, unnacountable Brussels elite more cordial. Despite the fisheries problem.

What should UK economic and employment policy be? Are we funding the current account deficit by selling houses to foreigners from kleptocratic states and China? Are we too dependent on financial services which are too centralised in London?

Was Greece treated fairly? What about Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain? What about the Polish constitutional crisis? Is Hungary run by Nazis? What if the Austrian election had gone differently?

Did you know the EU has a Trump-style border wall? It's in Bulgaria.

This twitter gives the view from Northern Ireland, which was "dangerously divided and unsettled" for years with malign neglect from the UK government: https://twitter.com/shockproofbeats

I'm sure that you, personally, have answers to all these questions. My point is that there is no broad consensus on all of them, they've nagged at the UK for years, and now they've all been made relevant.

Scotland and NI leaving are not "when", but "if", and even discussing "when", it is not "soon" and definitely not "very soon". Scotland has no history of maintaining a strong independent economy and by the time they (theoretically) leave the UK and manage to join the EU, the rest of the UK will have comfortably established an economic position without the EU.

We've looked into using Elastic hosted Elasticsearch ourselves but what really put us off is that even if your whole cluster fails the only support method you get is a forum. You have to purchase a support package for the whole of Elasticsearch at some unspecified price just to get proper support for the hosted service itself. We don't want support for using Elasticsearch just for the hosted service we're paying for.
The modern approach to mathematics is that there is no "meaning", just like "2" or "derivative" has no meaning. We just say how it behaves, or define it in terms of other things, which eventually bottoms out with undefined terms, such as sets and set membership. This is formalism.

How you apply mathematics to the world is not the business of formal mathematics. Whatever you want to do with it is "mere" philosophy. ;-)
Uber Won't Allow Us to Aggregate Surge Data
I think he's referring to Leave's argument that the EU was not in fact acting in the best interests of the people. This is because it is "undemocratic" - undeniable facts such as you can't buy straight bananas, re-cycle a teabag or have the freedom to trawl all the fish you want from British waters were, for example, put forward as proofs.
I stopped recommending Stripe when they stopped accepting my card. Despite me pointing this out to them, nobody at the company has done anything concrete to fix it. Sadly, they are no longer a company by developers for developers.

In addition, they are pretty useless in some regions where they do not support locally dominant payment methods.

Because the American speakers who use it don't have a history of discriminating and abusing Roma people? There are barely any Roma people in America to abuse. Certainly in much of Europe Roma people have been treated very badly.

It's certainly true that many portrayals of black people in continental Europe often look very odd or offensive to American eyes.
> especially if actual data sharing is the exceptional case

The problem is that cache coherence does not scale, given (note emphasis) that a certain amount of data is shared among CPUs.

You cannot circumvent the problem by choosing to not share much data between cores, because then you have changed the problem!
Is it really that weird? My wife uses weixin for normal things like buying lunch, paying for a taxi, buying veggies at the stand downstairs. It would add up to more than 100 rmb/ month, but then so would a UnionPay card, and Tencent is subsidizing the heck out of this right now to get adoption up.

I know. And I am not happy about that. But I'm not sure if the issue really was bit rot or bugs in HFS+. I haven't had a lot of issues in years so I lean towards the latter.
Okay, assuming that is true, is there an intuitive way to understand that? And the fact that lim[n-> ∞] 0.5^n = 0 unfortunately won't do for me, that is true for any specific infinite sequence, even those containing 50/50 heads and tails. I think most of the sequences - hand-waving, most of an infinite set - are 50/50 heads and tails just because there are more possibilities - hand-waving again - to arrange 50/50 heads and tails versus 100/0 or 40/60 heads and tails. So can I sum over all the 50/50 sequences and get 1 and sum over the rest and get 0? I still would not really understand what forces my coin to show tails eventually, but if there were a measure showing that those two sets have measure 1 respectively 0 it would already be easier to swallow.
Depends a lot on the type of company you start I suppose. If in doubt start it where the initial customers are going to be. Even if you intend to build the next network-effect based super customer product....maybe pick one specific niche first and be around those people for feedback (FB/Harvard etc.).

My gut would say that location (close to key customers) is very important for B2B for example. For some startups I can't help but think that some of their (scaling) problems are directly related to being started in SV (food delivery or cleaning services started in SV for example).

I also think you should double check your mindset if your reasoning revolves around getting financing and thus moving to the place that optimizes for that. Solve problem, ignore capital (software isn't very capital intensive) >> think about funding first.
Casual Sex: Everyone Is Doing It
None of the OP points was about "when", but just some theoretic "if".

And Scotland and NI don't need to maintain "a strong independent economy"... they will be part of EU and the common market, that's the all point.
Common? I've never heard this.
That list looks to me mostly like a list of things that are either scams, or that Stripe and the CC companies have perfectly Bayesian-rational reasons to believe are scams. Travel and tourism is the only one on there that strikes me as coming from CC agreements rather than that.

"Personal computer technical support", for instance, is almost certainly referencing the scam where someone cold calls you and tries to explain that your computer is infected. There aren't a lot of legitimate businesses that could be called "personal computer technical support", and I suspect of the ones you may even be thinking of that Stripe may classify them differently. I imagine the mom & pop shops are classified as hardware vendors who happen to also offer services and the more serious versions of that business are "consulting". (And at that point, probably not using Stripe anyhow.)
That is awesome, and would be something I would try and do right now, if I hadn't got rid of my cable subscription in favour of over-the-air Freeview (I'm in the UK).
You're not disagreeing with him. Thing is, even if you get AWS for free, you're better of minimizing your living expenses and spending that extra money on other aspects of your business to get it going.
Your #1 and #2 say "in Europe". Either Britain will be part of the EEA so they can't have less red tape than the rest of Europe, or they aren't in the EEA so the "in Europe" part of your statements isn't relevant.

If your goal is to start an enduring & profitable business, number of exits is the wrong metric. I get annoyed when total number of exits is assumed to be the only metric that counts. It's clearly a metric VCs care about, though.
>I am from the US. "Dots and feathers" is not a common way in the US.

I am from the US, I have heard people say things like "I picked up some Indian artwork this weekend, dots not feathers." I've also been asked "dots or feathers?" when I was talking about something Indian. I've also been asked in gestures, pointing to the forehead to represent a bindi then saying "or" and covering and uncovering the mouth while making a noise to do that mock Indian battle cry (see the scene in Peter Pan if you are unfamiliar with it)(1).

Its not super common (for obvious reasons) but I've heard to several times from several different people so its common enough in at least some parts of the United States. Being casually racist in informal conversation is still a "thing" in the United States.

That being said, its impolite racially charged language thus very inappropriate in most cases and should be avoided especially in formal communication.

(1) I am ashamed to admit that I did that while playing "cowboys and Indians" as a child before I knew better.

Read and understand, yes, the first is slightly simpler. Modify? Now I want to add an 'and' to the where clause. What's easier to figure out how to modify, for a random developer? I'd contend the latter, and that that is true for any modification you have to make.
Not so fast. The EU has already accepted that the UK is gone. They are pressuring for negotiations to start, and refusing to do any kind of informal negotiation. It does not look like they are afraid of negotiating at all, which suggests they have a good position.

The UK, on the other hand, ... I don't even know what the UK is doing. Are they even going to follow through?

My impression is that the UK is going to drag its feet for years to come and not activate article 50 in a long time, until your internal political climate either forces a new referendum or general elections [1]:

> Some, however, have warned Britain “may never” trigger the formal divorce process because the tight deadline for talks puts the leaver in a weak position. “I personally believe they will never notify,” one diplomat said. “The moment you push the button you’re in a stupid negotiating position.”

In the meantime, the UK's role in the EU has been permanently damaged, and some important decisions are being taken [2]:

The other answers missed the rather obvious supply demand shift.

50 years ago there was still a tradition of wartime economy work as hard as possible. Also there was a booming economy so the limited number of grads were in demand and their time was valuable. So even a (then well paid) English Lit prof had minimum wage level tasks to accomplish and the most financially sensible way to get all that work done, especially those lower level tasks, was to hire a secretary for that prof.

Now we overproduce grads such that most grads end up working jobs not requiring any degree, there's 100 applicants for every academic position because there is no booming economy anymore. No more tenure track for anyone who asks, its adjunct prof making less than minimum wage for the lucky tiny fraction of the grads. If the adjunct prof is officially only part time they've got plenty of time for menial work (making coffee etc) and if they are paid adjunct wages it would be hard to justify hiring a secretary who would likely be higher paid than the adjunct! Being a grinder who works hard for endless hours without rocking any boats is how the adjunct got hired to begin with. If the adjunct doesn't like doing menial work, that's OK, there are 99 applicants stuck at Starbucks that would love that academic position. Its a pro sports model where all the rewards go to the very top pro players and everyone else barely survives. Pro sports athletes will be treated extravagantly, but the average athlete is not going to be well treated.
