Ok how's this? Every (almost every?) mass-casualty attack inside Israel borders in the last say, almost 70 years, have come from ethnically/religiously similar people. These attacks happen at an alarming rate. You would like them to, for the sake of making you feel warm and fuzzier on the inside, not profile the people most likely to carry out such attacks in the future? That would be ridiculous.

Edit: before I get downvoted into oblivion, and I'm sure I might, I'd like to add that reality is almost always uglier than anyone - especially me - would like it to be.
It depends on what you understand by citizenship. As non-Brits they don't have a long-term interest in the future of Britain. For instance, we can assume they will likely have family connections elsewhere. They can leave when they like. They are in the UK for what they can get out of it, as of now. That is not meant pejoratively. It is what I or anyone else would do. If we have the freedom to do so, we plot a life trajectory (including where to locate) with respect to our best interests.

I wonder where do you get the 10% figure; how on earth would you know that in the three days since polling? It's difficult to know what to make of folk who given three months of intense EU/Out/In discussion across the land suddenly discover that they didn't think their vote mattered or that they couldn't make up their minds and tossed a coin. They need a lesson in how democracy works.

It was expected that the pound would fall and markets react negatively in view of the immediate uncertainty. Aside from that, what's happened that would make someone say "I didn't know it would be like this"?

Even Paul Krugman, a would-be remainer says " I’m finding myself less horrified by Brexit than one might have expected – in fact, less than I myself expected. The economic consequences will be bad, but not, I’d argue, as bad as many are claiming. The political consequences might be much more dire; but many of the bad things I fear would probably have happened even if Remain had won."

I've lived in China off and on for the last 13 years, and my wife is Chinese. She, her family, and her friends all use it, and they constantly try to get me to use it.

I refuse to use any Chinese social media. They wouldn't allow something they couldn't control or monitor, and I don't feel like giving them a direct eye on all my private chats, pictures, finances, etc. At least Facebook gives me the illusion of privacy.
For what it's worth, Google's engineering director for Angular has said that Angular 1 was a framework -- "something you could just drop into a web page and get going". Angular 2 was supposed to be a "platform of capabilities."

"We're still doing the framework, but we're improving our ability to handle different languages. Our plan is to have versions that will work with many server-side technologies, from Java to Python... We would like to work to make Angular future-proof. As we have new releases for Angular, it would be nice if we could give just an upgrade script, so on every release, it would be stress-free."

> Is there any (uncontroversial) theory that rigorously defines what a 50 % probability for heads and tails means? It certainly doesn't mean that in the long run you will obtain the same number of heads and tails because there is a (vanishing) chance that you will always get heads even though the coin is actually fair.

It doesn't really require a theory, outside of probability theory itself.

According to the law of large numbers, P(x) = 0.5 does imply that, for N trials, the probability of N/2 outcomes being x (heads) approaches 1 as N approaches infinity. And as you pointed out, the probability of all heads is vanishing, as N approaches infinity. P(all heads) = 1 - P(not all heads), and P(all heads) approaches 0 as N approaches infinity, so P(not all heads) must approach 1. The same exercise could be done with the relative distributions of heads and tails, in a large number of trials.

Each coin flip is random, but the results will converge to the mean. You will obtain the same number of heads and tails with certainty, not high probability, if you can make N big enough.
It's still quite hard to do simulations on the timescales needed for any sort of interesting chemical reaction or physical effects.

Foldit (http://fold.it/portal/) is probably the best there is – a game that actually contributes to the science of protein folding.

You can also try GROMACS to actually run physical simulations, but it's more involved and not what you'd consider interactive. But you can look at your molecule wiggling in space with any pdb viewer.

There you go: assuming the analysis of leave voters was not sound.

Many voters made a very straightforward analysis: "the EU means I compete against an essentially infinite supply of labour, I can't do that, therefore we should get out of the EU so we can restrict immigration again".

You may not agree with this reasoning or you may feel the various other benefits of the EU outweigh them in your personal circumstances, but it's not an illogical analysis: they think leaving will make them economically better off and there are millions of such voters. It's actually quite difficult to mount a robust economic argument against this idea: you have to argue that the EU will erect such serious trade barriers that all the jobs disappear. But a lot of these people are working in local service industries anyway, they aren't selling to the EU, so you end up arguing a very indirect path to them personally suffering which basically rests on "the EU will be such bastards that the entire UK economy collapses", which then stirs up patriotic sentiments very strongly (reminds people of the war). And you rapidly end up in economic wonk territory because the details of the damage depend so much on details of the final deal, etc. The public, quite rightly, does not trust economists due to their track record of getting the big things wrong.

The economic rationale for Scotland leaving the UK and joining the EU is much less clear. The big one is public spending. The Scots may not like it but their country is subsidised by the UK to a huge degree. The spending deficit alone is the same size as ALL Scottish NHS spending. The economic argument from "lose the subsidies from the English, public services are cut because oil is cheap" is very direct and much more easily understood. Scotland does not have a problem with massive immigration. People like the idea of the EU but what specific economic problem would it solve for them?

I am from the US. "Dots and feathers" is not a common way in the US. It feels pejorative as well.

If it's ambiguous, I say "Indian (from India)" or "Indian (subcontinent)" vs. "Indian (Native American)". Or I'll just say "from India" or "Native American", and avoid that ambiguity.

That said, even "Native American" is controversial. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_name_controver... for full details.

Plus, I think many in the US don't know about the bindi, so referring to "dot" in that context may not help as much as you, someone from India, may think.

As to why it feels pejorative, here's are pictures of Native American vendors in Santa Fe. https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/el_camino_real_de_tierra_adent... .

The rule of thumb would be, use SQL statements to model and execute business logic, not cursors/variables. While the execution is still procedural, the goal is to make all the decisions 'at once' rather than explicitly looping. Behind the scenes a similar set of steps are taken, but the dbms is free to perform the operations as it sees fit.

ECMAScript 2016: New Version of JavaScript Language Released
I'm just skeptical about this supposition that a firmly united Europe is going to wipe the floor with the UK. This is not some 5 million people nation that you're going to boss around a bit. The UK has one of the longest running systems of government in the world with a diplomatic tradition going back to the power games of 19th century Europe. It has strong ties to the Commonwealth and the United States. While negotiating with the EU it only needs to look after its own interests. Opposite the UK stands the EU consisting of 27 nations, all with their own interests, many of which have to deal with their own eurosceptics at home. There's been mounting discontent about the domineering role of Germany. I believe that things may become very interesting.

That's less clear: it depends on how she goes about it. Consider this:

a) She convinces the Leader of the Commons to bring a motion to dismiss parliament (under the 2011 Fixed Term Parliaments Act this requires a 2/3rds majority).

b) She convinces the members of the Privy Council to form a National Coalition, and to stand as such for election on a manifesto centred on EU membership.

Alternatively, she finds someone who can command the confidence of the House of Commons across party lines, and gets agreement across party lines (likely through the Privy Council) to support the appointment, and duly appoints them Prime Minister (this is roughly how Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940, with no election held since 1935 and none would be held till 1945). The cross-party Government then formed can then seek a mandate to remain in the EU in a number of ways (such as then falling to an election or a second referendum).

One shouldn't understate the amount of influence the Queen can have, and maintain, if she plays her cards right.
I'm surprised too. I'm also curious about whether the male/female stat is asked directly to the user or is just the gender indicated on the person profile. If it is the second option (I doubt it tho...), I know quite a number of girls that set their profile as "male" for various reasons... It is also indicated that default gender is "male" so maybe a lot of persons didn't wanted to disclose this information and were set up as male (doesn't seems likely either).
Democratic control. That was it. I knew that it would have a negative effect on the economy short term but I wanted the control to be in the hands of the people I elected.

If there's one thing we should all be learning from this it's that the 'respectable' media around the world is controlled by people who have little or nothing in common with large chunks of the population and simply cannot be trusted to reliably report on the matter of the EU. The non-tabloid media in the UK were almost united in the idea that leaving the EU was unthinkable, and even post-vote are now in a state of absolute denial about it.

If you want to know what's really going on then the best tool available is still opinion polling (ideally combined with on-the-street interviews to get additional depth).

Polling in Germany is showing rapidly rising anti-Euro feeling since August 2015, if we take AfD support as a proxy for "we don't want to bail out the feckless deficit countries anymore". AfD polling shifts are on a very smooth upward trajectory when averaged and the AfD is anti-Euro.

Given this trajectory and the grumbling the Greek bailouts caused it would be very difficult to convince the Germans to allow the normal EU rules on deficits in joining countries to be broken: they are already slapping down suggestions from Italy that Brexit means austerity policies must be loosened. Why should Germans pay for the Scots?

Accusations of xenophobia are hard to avoid when the anti-immigration debate has been led by the National Front ("Go home pakis"); the BNP (Nazi salutes); Britain First (an incoherent but unequivocally fascist ideology).

It is based on "Show, don't tell" but it is not that easy to do. I think the Twilio presentation was impressive because automating SMS and getting a phone number was difficult and required slow back-end setup. It was a simple concept to understand but difficult to implement. Stripe example also simplify the work with payments.

The problem is: how do you follow these principles for less obvious applications? For example, how do you impress your audience if you sell a database engine? It is a good startup exercise to think about it. I would be impressed with a tool to quickly design a web application in the same way Visual Basic did 25 years ago instead of talking about Bootstrap, Foundation, AngularJS, React, etc.

Very interesting idea. I'm a firm believer, though, that the best new businesses are ones that scratch your own itch. I've never been able to relate with entrepreneurs that seek out the most profitable idea vs the one they are passionate about that solves a problem they are familiar with.

As the author mentions AWS Elasticsearch does lag behind in versions. They still only support 1.5.2[1] which is over a year old at this point and is missing a lot of performance optimizations and operational improvements.

Elastic (the company behind Elasticsearch) provides an AWS based SaaS Elasticsearch product https://www.elastic.co/cloud/as-a-service with a very sane version policy[2] that keeps pace with the latest Elasticsearch releases.

BTW to parent, one big advantage of react-native over ionic is that it's not a wrapped web app, but a javascript/react app that compiles to an actual native app.

The performance difference and development experience (no silly css hacks) is very noticeable.
Well there are 2 advantages to angular (1 or 2) over react:

1. It has effortless two way binding, which makes apps that allow mutating the same state from a lot of places easy and simple to make (though one could argue harder to maintain)

2. It uses a template rather then a precompiler (such as jsx) which has two advatages- since its html it makes cooperating with designers and the design process itself easier and it means you can use strings for modularity (for example saving a templatr in the database etc.)
In my experience code-share between React and React Native is extremely difficult as your UI code is so significantly different with native components and what not.

At least with Angular/Ionic you can directly share UI code between the two as its all HTML and CSS.

Still, I really enjoy working with React and React Native because I it's one API and mental model to learn.
No, but your unit tests should catch bad queries and then you're good to go.
