It's a ridiculous comment in many ways but there is an interesting glimpse there of how people are thinking about this.

As for Google and Amazon and their datacenters in Ireland, as well as all the tax deals there I think that tax advisors are right now working overtime on how to limit the damage to their Irish clientele.

Maybe a good time to buy land around Frankfurt a/M.
> Does that setting apply to any subdirectory? The article linked in a comment above states otherwise.

No, unfortunately it doesn't.

One workaround that I use is to upload files without an extension and explicitly set their content type as `text/html` in S3. So a request to `/about` just serves a file in your S3 bucket called `about`. This works with both CloudFront and S3.

Ask HN: Why is vim considered a better editor in comparison to emacs?
When used to allocate production, markets maximize efficiency. But when used to allocate consumption, markets often minimize happiness. For example, if you sell a glass of water to the highest bidder, then Poor Alice who's dying of thirst will be outbid by Rich Bob who wants to water his potted plant. That's not just a theoretical example, you can name ten such situations in the real world without stopping for breath. In other words, diminishing marginal utility of money means that markets are only half of the solution, not the whole solution. It's a pretty simple idea and I'm not sure why it isn't well known.
I've been to the states for three weeks, driving from cheap motel to cheap motel.

As you say, most of the US is just fine. But even in my three weeks I have seen lots of homeless people at busstops and intersections. I've heard distant gunshots in the (very) cheap motel in LA, where the police sirens were so common that I mistakenly thought that we were really close to a police station. I saw so many people who were dangerously obese that I can't blame the people who repeat the "FAT MURICANS" meme.

Some major roads were riddled with potholes and looked nothing like the images we saw in movies that supposedly play in LA. Let's just say the image I had beforehand (mostly instilled by Hollywood movies) was exactly the opposite.
Probably won't happen anything that have been said in the last hours, no rush to Berlin, Dublin, Frankfurt or Paris. The exit has 2 years ahead to happen, in this period there's time to make deals, agreements and keep almost everything like it's now, slowly changing what doesn't work. Moving people is really hard, plus London has a business mentality that is hard to find anywhere else in Europe on the tech/startup scene. Anyway, time will tell what's going to happen. Switzerland lived the exact same situation in the '90s with the fear of having companies and corporation leaving the country in favour of the EU, well, with a hard work and agreements, that have been avoided. I know not joining is far different from quitting, but still, predicting the outcome is absolutely impossibile, UK might become the hottest country for business as can fall and die, both scenarios are equally possibile.
Nor do I. Micro services are built around being able to be scaled and manipulated without having those changes break your entire application.
Your implication does not follow from your correct observation. APLs (including J and K) work from the simplest principles, and from then on it is just optimization.

K was implemented by Arthur Whitney, who implemented all the primitives (and their special cases) himself. At some point, if I am not mistaken, Niall Dalton rewrote some parts to be even faster - most primitives are easy to do efficiently (though a stunt programmer can definitely do them more efficiently), and most importantly - most patterns are too. E.g. "a@<a" means "sorted a". "*a@<a" and "&/a" both mean "minimum value in a" (each is a different recipe to compute it). It's not hard to implement, and beyond the primitives, 200 patterns cover a very significant percentage of use cases, and are definitely within the realm of possibility for a single person, let alone demigods like Arthur Whitney, Niall Dalton, Mike Pall, or a small team.
The Netherlands
The constitutional crisis has everything to do with the actions of PiS. They deliberately disregarded previous ruling of the CT, and President Duda refused to swear in three judges correctly elected by the Parliament.

Zbigniew Ziobro, the Minister of Justice, also serves as the Attorney General and under the new law he can interfere with the work of District Attorneys (he can essentially stop any prosecutorial case if he wishes to do so). This is an enormous threat to citizen's rights.

The new government has already made several decisions which help the Catholic Church. The most important one concerns the sale of the farmland, which will benefit the church financially.

On top of that there's the increase in taxation and a massive spending increase on welfare, but I suppose that's just run-of-the-mill fiscal irresponsibility.

> the brexit is a strong signal for the other EU states to get their shit together and fix obvious problems

As a fellow European I thought about this too, as I was trying to see a silver lining in all this. And then I went to read the comments on the French paper's Le Figaro website and got depressed again. Most of the people commenting in there really believed that the EU is to be accused of everything that's been going wrong with the French economy. If we do get a French referendum and if France leaves then the EU will just die. It pains me to put this down in words, but it's a valid possibility.
"there is no money to maintain millions of people that do nothing". You underestimate how technological advances boost productivity. Consider driverless trucks: As soon as they are legal, companies will adopt them very quickly because of the obvious savings. Naturally, millions of truck drivers will be unemployed but the overall production stays the same (or even rises slightly). Thus it WILL be possible to pay all of these truck drivers a basic income without damaging anyone else's livelihood. Extrapolate this trend to other industries and you will see that in a few decades, it is completely possible to automate away most work while still paying the former workers approximately what they were earning before.

More fundamentally, you are making the mistake of thinking of work scarcity as a fundamental problem when technological advances are rendering work less and less scarce every year.
Ah, so it's hitting you personally. Well as an American, I can relate. We don't always get the government we want.
The outright disdain shown for democracy here is shocking. The EU is a completely undemocratic institution with a huge amount of control over member nations. Having an organization I have no say in control my life and my country is insane. Especially one that threatens sanctions against member nations that elect "wrong" governments, where "wrong" means "opposes any EU policies". The US wouldn't be united if the citizens of the individual states had no vote in the federal government.
That's quite a stupid reason to be angry. I would hope that people living in UK would understand the meaning of democracy.

How much has the Internet done for your business that a smaller, proprietary network wouldn't have?

Metcalfe's Law only kicks into high gear when everyone is capable of joining the same network. If there are three or four proprietary networks with limited and expensive communications between them, growth is hobbled.

Or, to take another tack, how much has access to clean water done for you? How much has access to a house that isn't burgled done for you?

Just because you personally never received a check doesn't mean the government hasn't given you benefit.
Probably fine. Christian theology is mostly pacifist and politically neutral. Some argue that a Constantine-like figure was inevitable, given the growth and oppression of early Christians. If you only oppress people and they don't fight back, you lose legitimacy quickly.

Quick plug for a company I've used: SSLmate (http://sslmate.com) makes cert purchase (for those whom need this) painless and fast. They use Comodo and Geotrust FWIW. I've had my own pain with Comodo through other resellers, and moved on to sslmate and godaddy. Recently moved my home blog (http://scalability.org) to LE. Work (http://scalableinformatics.com) is using godaddy for now, though thinking hard on using sslmate going forward for it (because ... godaddy).
I can't talk for Spain but Italy leaving is not going to happen. The current government is weak, with a big constitutional referendum planned for September. If they win, they're basically locked into power for another 3 years minimum; if they lose, there won't be new elections right away because everyone agrees the resulting electoral law is not fit for purpose. A temporary executive would never even dream of making things even worse by calling an EU referendum.

Only IF the current government loses in September AND a new electoral law can be agreed AND an euroskeptic party wins a full majority (there is currently only one with a realistic shot at majority) THEN a referendum might be considered, and tbh it would be pretty low on the agenda anyway. The fastest this could happen, realistically, is sometime in 2018, and a lot of things can happen in 2 years.

Besides, Italy was an EU founder and public opinion is strongly pro-EU by tradition, unlike the UK. This position was only dented by the Euro problems, with a couple of fixes (like Eurobonds) things would be totally fine.
What about e.g. HTTP? The dynamics of server to server communication are all about message passing (REST is just a message conveying state, if you ignore the other rules). Look at things like Erlang and Elixir processes. Akka and the actor model. Map/Reduce to a certain extent. These are all founded on the idea of giving a task out with enough information that the worker can reasonably go and work on the task without having to look around for state. Also look at things like FRP and more event driven architectures. While not ThingA sends message to ThingB, ThingA still broadcasts a message, possibly containing the relevant state.

Also almost forgot. Look at the wealth of message queues that exist (RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ, SQS, Kafka, ... the list goes on).

I don't see why people are thinking businesses would move. With a weaker pound, a UK office is cheaper to run, investment will go further and exporting UK based products/services to the EU or US will be more competitive. If anything UK might be more attractive for a business.

The downsides might be freedom of travel for employment but hopefully there won't be much difference for skilled migrants. I don't believe it would get as hard as the US.
Google Opened a new Engineering HQ at Kings Cross in London.

Switzerland has an FMP agreement with the EU which is something that clearly the UK doesn't want hence the BrExit.
I think you first have to rethink your assumption of what capitalism is. What we have now is clearly not capitalism. If it were, the biggest banks would not have gotten bigger after the 2008 financial meltdown.
This is correct. It is possible to have co-operation, trade and agreements of all sorts without having an additional layer of government (and a rather unaccountable form of government, at that).
essentially, yes. I think i'm in that camp, too.

I believe this has to do with the globalization and the problem it brings for local people. To be relevant in the world, one should be strong, united and of reasonable size (economically, ...). If the EU would collapse now into individual states, each of them (esp eastern europe) would suffer greatly and maybe has to deal with russia. How much of a help the NATO is? just ask ukraine.
Don't feed the troll.
I'm from Eastern Europe, have lots of friends who live and work in the UK. To see how important the anti-immigrant, anti-Eastern European discourse was as part of the "Leave" campaign was a real kick in the balls, so to speak.

Because that's a good idea. Permanent underclasses in developed countries aren't a bad enough problem already.

They never seemed to be really interested in the EU, often wanting their "own" thing, like keeping the Pound instead of adopting the Euro.

You just confirmed what the person you replied to was saying. Having a trade deficit is why the EU needs them. They buy all of the EUs goods.
So... it's basically event-driven programming? Objects generate events, and other objects are free to subscribe to them and do something in response (or not)?

I thought of something similar a few years ago, I think it would indeed enable much better decoupling than the current OOP model - instead of object A telling object B "do this" (and thus having to know that object B exists and that it can do "this"), have object A emit an event "I just did this" and let object B, if it's interested, handle that.

There's still the problem of "now B has to know about A", but it can be solved with a common event bus and a series of messages defined in a different library - that way both A and B only know about the common library, they can be completely independent of each other.

I wrote something like this a few years ago - just added it to my GitHub at https://github.com/mdpopescu/public/tree/master/Snake - but I can't say I ever did something "serious" with it. It's one of the things I'd like to actually use in production, like CQRS/ES or Orleans :)

Online “sound lego” to build the a produvtive environment
> As a British citizen, I'm appalled by the sentiment expressed here. It flies in the face of the ideas and values upon which the EU was founded.

Isn't that the point, though? UK just said "no" to half a century of following these principles - making sure there are consequences means protecting EU ideals, not harming them.

Sure, in practice there will be plenty of replacement treaties - but for EU _and_ for those principles it's quite ok if UK ends up 6th or 7th economy instead of 5th. We're not talking about bankrupting anybody here.
The EU parliment had a meeting where basically what was said was "this is a huge issue, everyone should help by taking some" and then Polish government decided to get on a high horse and not accept anyone. It flies directly in the face of united Europe and I really hate what they(the government) are doing.
I find it quite dangerous to think most people are too naive to vote on important issues.
Trained politicians are also very much impacted by gut reactions and irrational behavior (though in favour of one's own party/career/etc).

People don't necessarily all use the same objective functions. I think many were disappointed by the EU as they perceive it as an economic-only enterprise, where not everyone wins. I think many could be OK with a lower GDP, and a slower and more local economy, etc. It's not so clear on the long run what will actually be the best for UK and its people.

In Switzerland, people vote on different issues about 12 times a year. Some of these issues are quite complex and technical (for instance, how should benefits of some state-dependent companies be handled, etc). Some are easy yet extremely consequential. Usually there is no particular tendency to fall for the easy stories based on gut feelings. In general I think that able to vote is more important (mostly for stability), even if it leaves a door open to populism.

Is that a useful metric? How often is the general sentiment similar, without leading to a war? How often has there been a war, without such a general sentiment prior to it? It doesn't seem like being aware of this piece of data is very useful.
Well, I agree we shouldn't be encouraging it, but when I pay attention to the shadow government players like Kissinger and Brzenski, they seem hell bent on bringing back the Cold War (I call it the neocold-war), mostly because while no one really speaks about it publicly, resource wars are on the horizon.
UK has a high debt load and is now more isolated than it was. Those are problematic when they are tied together. But I think that what is a major bonus for the UK is that they control their own currency and possibly their debt is issued in UK Pounds (is it?) -- that could be very useful in making their exports attractive if shit hits the fan.

If their debt is not in UK Pounds, it will limit their economic flexibility severely, and I think could lead to a default if things go bad (which we are currently quite far away from right now.)

Thus is the UK debt in UK Pounds? Or is it mostly denominated in Euros, Yen or USD?
WOW! GB left the EU and they did not even need to elect a communist party or have Varoufakis mouthing off. Maybe Greece should grow a pair and go now too. Maybe join GB.
Yep. That issue has totally been resolved by leaving. We only had to wipe off trillions from global equities and other assets to do it.
Yeah and we don't know what happened, Google made a strong move into the UK over the past 2 years and this year it opened a huge complex with a new HQ.
It could've been just because of that and them not expecting a yes vote on the BrExit.

> The prospect of a United States of Europe was extremely remote even before today. It's dead, now.

Not necessarily. There's no reason why the UK would have to be a vital part of that union. Quite the contrary, in fact: the UK has always been the biggest opponent of such a closer union. Without the UK, it's possible that the EU might actually be able to move ahead in that direction again.
I believe it is possible in theory. Parliament now have to agree on how to action the divorce. If all the pro-EU PMs cross-party vote against the proposals then it could be held up. But who is willing to put their job/reputation on the line apart from maybe the SNP members?

In any case this will not be done in two years which is the max time allowed by the EU treaty after the UK gov makes it official.

Trade negotiations much more simple than this between the EU and other countries usually take 4-5 years or more. I will be surprised if the UK is out completely within 5 years.

During that time the UK is still subject to all the terms of EU membership.

Plus there are re-negotiations with all the other countries the UK had access to via the existing EU trade agreements.
I don't think there was ever a supermajority for going in (and the EU has gradually crept into something much bigger than it originally was), so it doesn't make much sense to require a supermajority for getting out.
It baffles me to say it's negative to be hypocritical in that regard.

My position in these cases is simple: I want what's best for me and my people and fuck the rest.

Europe has had a history of pointless and toxic altruism that has lead us to this point. Think of the refugee crisis for example. The "all humans are equal regardless of where they were born" and the "please I'd do whatever it takes so people don't label me as a racist" rubbish has ruined our culture.
