I found the typography of Interstellar interesting, if only because it may be the first time humanity has ever seen serifs in space.
That first paragraph... What if you would replace 'the west' with 'the islam'? Let's replace 'terrorist organizations' with 'organizations with weapons'. Bear with me.
Then it essentially says google, facebook etc are used by military for recruitment for fighting with violence against an opposing view (sorry for my english). Isn't that what western countries do as well?
What I mean to say, the difference is very hard to make. Essentially you are removing any content that opposes your (whoever pulls the string) political or religious views. And with the popularity of YT, FB and Twitter, I think that is worth thinking about.
What happens if there is a conflict within a western country, whose side are those sites on?

I want to note, for anyone reading this, I do absolutely not condone any actions by any terrorist organizations nor their recruitment methods, at all, and I happily have not seen any of thise horrible videos. I just don't like the western hypocricy.

> there IS no left wing media in the US as far as I can tell.

I think you and I disagree significantly on this foundational fact to the point where there's no use debating downstream arguments.

I see the media fully supporting Clinton while bashing Trump. That's left wing bias in my mind (regardless of my support of either candidate). Once you include online media, the left leaning bias is even more significant. Twitter in particular (I know they're not discussed in the OP) have been very aggressive about stamping out right wing speech.
It doesn't. This is designed for more general context-free developers.
"Engineered" and "artistic" seem apt descriptions of parts of the scam: the skillful, creative, and well though out parts. Just like "criminal" and "scammer" address the other side of the same activities.
Thanks for advice, and if you think of anything about the name just let me know!
That is an interesting video, of course there are multiple sides to every story. It could very well be that the loans were designed to force Greece under the thumb of Germany, kind of like a hostile takeover. However the Greek government has also lived beyond its means for years.

For instance, they are a country of only 11 million yet they had multiple presidential jets. In most countries of a similar size the politicians either fly on airforce planes or fly commercial airlines.

I know bankruptcy means different things in different countries, when I worked in the US it appeared as though it was relatively common place. At least if you paid attention to the ads on the radio, here in NZ it's less common and has more of a stigma around it so there is obviously a cultural viewpoint on how acceptable bankruptcy would be.

The thing is that the German (and French, and Italian) people loaned Greece that money, these countries all have a high debt ratio and therefore any money they pay for the Greek debt would be added to their own. They are borrowing money to pay for other peoples loans. Now I know that it isn't as simple as that, a lot of debt for the bigger countries is domestic debt, they've borrowed from themselves to pay another country in order to pay back to themselves. But on the actual balance sheet its a net loss for the tax payer.

What I really want to know is how all of these countries have let themselves get into this state. Pretty much every country in the west is hovering around 100% debt to GDP or over. the only exceptions being Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Australia.

I just look at this map and wonder how anybodies lifestyle is sustainable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt-to-GDP_ratio#/media/File:...
It's interesting to note that the usual excuses that are given for low turnout among young people--feeling like their vote won't make a difference--were not present here. This was a direct referendum: what should we do? No politician who will court the youth vote then do something else. Yet, turnout was still low. Which begs the question: why should anyone care what young people think when they can't be bothered to vote, even when there is literally nothing standing between their vote and the result they want?

> Why is an aging population a problem? Older people are more experienced, wiser, and less likely to be violent.

Older people can be just as selfish as young people. Relevant Brexit quote [0]:

> Woman on Radio 4 who voted Leave. "I'm pleased. Don't think it'll effect us cause we're elderly. For the young people I'm not sure."

That doesn't sound experienced or wise - actually, if anything it seems recklessly selfish and bordering on intergenerational violence.

> The only real problem with an aging population is the pension system. This problem can easily be solved by raising the age of retirement.

How exactly is that solution "easy" if all those old people vote consistently to keep the retirement age where it is? Older folks are the single most reliable constituency in America on election day.

I personally think the story behind all of this is the growing divide between young and old voters. IMO our aging population is indeed more experienced and wiser... when it comes to stacking the deck in their favor and keeping their awful policies from being reversed.

Which generation(s) have a problem with LGBT people? Which generation sold $1T in debt to its children and erected unprecedented barriers to discharging that debt? Which generation started the War on Drugs and refuses to admit to its failure, or even really fix the embarrassingly racist details like mandatory minimums? Which generation tells which generation that they can't possibly earn more than $7.25/hour, and which generation pours wealth into elections so they can maintain that status quo?

> the freedom of movement that the EU offered them

If this is desirable, why can't it be had through agreements between pairs of countries without there having to be a European union that you hand over many other powers to?

The same goes for other things related to barriers between countries.
In Germany, as far as I know, towns are mandated to have a fire service. Either the town raises a volunteer firefighter force, or the county will levy taxes and put a force in for the town. There's something to be said for a functioning civil service, not every issue has to be fought over every year in city council, and the only one who benefits are politicians seeking exposure.
When I read articles about typography I feel like I'm reading pseudo science. They change something to do with kerning or whatever and then say it's better. Why is it better? It's not a falsifiable claim!

When I write an article saying I'm doing something better in code I need to demonstrate it empirically.

Maybe that's not a reasonable way to read a design article though.
Can you elaborate on the structure the 4 london based startups use?

My understanding is that selling digital products within the EU to other EU countries is annoying. The main reason I hear is having to collect VAT for each B2B transaction at the rate of the country you're selling to.

When it comes time to settle the taxes it is handled in an aggregated manner with one filing under a VATMOSS scheme, which distributes the collected VAT to the member states in one go. This attempt at simplification seems to have backfired with many calling it 'VATMESS'.

However, from what I read online, US based companies selling into the EU technically have to charge this too (although they can aggregate it as well under a 'Non-Union' VATMOSS filing).

With the above in mind, is the structure you talk about in place for other reasons than VAT?
If you have any suggestion regarding the name, just let me know! I am open to receive suggestions about that. Thanks!
The problem with the "debt" terminology is that debt is actually fairly predictable and easy to manage. But bad code tends to have very volatile effects–often the cost of working with it is 0, and sometimes it's enormous. "Unexploded Land Mines" might be a better analogy.
I am not a pen tester, but I love paper cheat sheets on my desk. Currently: gdb, emacs, bash, operator precedance in C, register names/use in x86.
Rather than deducing it, you can also look at the truth table, see it is 0 exactly where B is not true and A is true, and get not(A and not B). Then, we can conclude there is a proof such as yours from the completeness theorem, I believe.
No company in its right mind is going to hire someone asking for +50% with no good reason.

They can give up on the idea of recruiting people from major hubs (SV/London/NYC) then.

Generally people who have some sense of reasonableness and proportion (that is, who don't aren't fixated on the dollar amount of their salary to the exclusion of all other factors) don't mind taking a bit of haircut to live in a greatly more affordable area (and to do interesting work).

But a 50% haircut ($120K to $60K) is really a hard pill to swallow for such folks.
Intentional or not, it's definitely created a world where labor is flat or declining while energy, food, education, health care, and especially housing are inflating like crazy.

I think the point about Apple is a non-sequitur here. Low interest rates may also have benefited the tech industry, but that's secondary and doesn't affect as many people as real estate hyperinflation.

Ultimately you should be able to use your C compiler and generate wasm files directly, rather than go through asm.js.

There is an experimental backend of LLVM that you can try, but it will require building LLVM from source currently. Emscripten has an option to do this automatically, I believe.

You can also write the AST format by hand, which IMO is much easier to do than writing asm.js by hand, just more verbose. I wouldn't advise anyone do this, as the format has been changing over time.

Finally, there is work on specifying a true "text format" that is meant to be used with view-source and directly maps to the binary format. You can see some proposals if you look at the pull requests in the design repo. When a proposal is accepted and we implement the tooling, you will be able to generate a binary directly from this format, which will be much nicer.
There were a few interviewed on the BBC the morning of the result. So I think that inflated the perception that there are millions of them.

Isn't it possible to make an image using light, but by computing the "real" image from the interference pattern (of a single non-repeating atom/structure)? And if there is more than one solution, then perhaps by using images from multiple angles, or with different wavelengths?
Yes, but it's more fun and edifying to prove it. :) It's so rare I get an opportunity to whip out propositional logic and formal proof methods that I hardly balk at the opportunity. (hears groans from non-nerds)
I agree the circumstances are very different, and obviously don't think there was any nefarious intentions. But the underlying fundamental issue - brand recognition and the value of having your work recognized under a name you control - is still the same.

In this case, I think the author of this tool has the most to lose, because he is building brand equity for someone else. If next year his tool takes off and he is forced to rename, he has to start over.

But let's assume this tool becomes so successful that he gets away with the "name hack", then it sets the wrong example for other aspiring toolmakers: "don't bother picking your own name, surf on on someone else's and if you succeed fast enough, you might get away with it". That is the same calculation which leads less scrupulous people like Comodo and OVH to "ask for forgiveness rather than permission". I think that is dangerous for innovation because it makes it less rewarding to try something new under your own name. Why bother if someone else will reap the rewards in the end?
It is difficult to find sympathy for young Britons. One could blame their first-past-the-post system, for enabling Cameron's gamble. But the voters turned down the mathematically-superior alternative vote in an earlier referendum.

So is it the media? The lack of a Swiss-style double vote? Both could have been prioritised as electoral demands by the populace.

Ultimately this falls on the British people, for not turning out and not doing their research. The sad truth is that rebalancing Europe will be a cost borne by the next generation of Americans.
Good comment. You have obviously put some thought into the matter.

Any thoughts on what can be done about reducing those feelings of marginalization?

The tech community does seem very disconnected from Average Joe these days.
I think it is bad, for two reasons. One, firemen do more than just put out fires. If there's nobody around to put out your burning house, there's nobody around to pull you out if you've been overcome by smoke inhalation.

Something that perhaps hasn't been adequately explained is that much of the "mainstream media" in the UK was not pro-Remain.

Although their sales are declining, daily newspapers remain a fixture of British political life. In particular, the Daily Mail and the Sun are extremely popular, with circulations over a million each[1]. And just a few years ago they sold vastly more copies than they currently do.

The stock-in-trade of nearly all these newspapers is rightwing populism, and nearly all were stridently pro-Brexit. Long before this referendum, they sold copies by demonising immigrants and the EU, through hysterical, mendacious reporting. For decades, they have poured lies and poison into the hearts of a huge swathe of the British electorate. Their readership matches almost exactly with those who voted out: Old people, poor people, white people.

A lot of pundits have spoken of Brexit as being about disenfranchised voters giving a bloody nose to the political establishment, or being fed-up with the runaway effects of austerity an globalisation. Yet when Brexit voters are asked why they voted the way they did, most don't talk about getting revenge on some abstract metropolitan political elite, defying the mainstream media, or even about their own relative poverty. Instead, they talk about immigration, and taking back power from Brussels. And that's basically all they talk about.

On the liberal left, there has been an attempt to take these concerns at face value, talking about the potential negative effects of large scale immigration. But even this ignores an important fact: Many of the communities most opposed to the EU, and most concerned with immigration, have actually experienced almost none of it, and have in fact benefitted greatly from EU redistribution of funds from richer parts of the UK to them, via redevelopment funds.

Personally, I don't believe in explanations about resentment at those providing handouts. I think it comes down to certain rightwing narratives, about immigrants, and about the EU, being printed and reprinted by the mainstream, rightwing media for so many years that they have become articles of faith amongst large parts of the British population. They have taken on a life of their own, nowadays spread via social media, and are essentially immovable.

Frankly, the biggest surprise of Brexit to me is that anybody would be surprised. Anti-EU and anti-immigrant reporting has been such a pervasive part of the British political landscape for so long that it would be an astonishing repudiation of media influence if people hadn't voted out. But, as it was, they did.

The scenario is the insurance company pays to replace your lost items because it's cheaper to pay out than provide fire service. So that's not an issue.
Yes, it's bad if people's posessions are destroyed or even lives are potentially lost.

This is incorrect.

The rent will precisely increase by 1000 Euro. Yes you can compare percentages all you want, but at the end of the day, 1000 Euro basic income is 1000 Euro more for everyone. That will be directly plowed into everyone's (for example) personal rent/housing budget or tolerance, which translates to inflated rental prices.

If I make $15K/month and receive a $1K/month basic income, I'll gladly pay $1K/month more for rent -- just like the guy making $5K/month would. Can you tell me what will happen to rent rates?

See my comment above, ultimately you should be able to generate WebAssembly directly from your C compiler (and other languages too). You can write it by hand as well, but that's not the primary goal of the specification.

We should have a text format soon too, which will be nicer than the AST format to read/write by hand.

This is a great example. Wikipedia has the same one with isolines demonstrating this point in the 0^0 subsection of the exponentiation article, here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation#Continuous_ex...

With the caveat:

"However, under certain conditions, such as when f and g are both analytic functions and f is positive on the open interval (0, b) for some positive b, the limit approaching from the right is always 1.[26][27][28]"

Also, definitely take note of Knuth's argument, because while you might feel strongly that indeterminate is the right answer right now, there are big implications for allowing other choices. (And NB: indeterminate vs undefined)

"The debate stopped there, apparently with the conclusion that 0^0 should be undefined.

But no, no, ten thousand times no! Anybody who wants the binomial theorem to hold for at least one nonnegative integer n must believe that 0^0 = 1, for we can plug in x = 0
and y=1 to get 1 on the left and 0^0 on the right.
The number of mappings from the empty set to the empty set is 0^0. It has to be 1."

> Doubtful: As long as France and Germany are on board, the EU will survive in some fashion.

I disagree. The UK was the third largest net contributor to the EU, and one of only ~10 member states that have historically made positive net contributions.

Its influence and role as a net importer from the EU will see it win a relatively favorable exit, including access to the single market.

The UK exit, in addition to the financial impact on the EU, will inspire many other member states on the verge of leaving to do the same.

The EU is already on thin ice, and the UK voting to leave may have just been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Do you really think it's possible to bully white people (as a function of their whiteness and in the UK)?! I have no doubt that you can bully people who happen to be white (I'm white and I was bullied), but that's not the same. To class this as racism seems on its face ridiculous.

You seem to be assuming an externally funded basic income.

This may be true for the pilot, but once implemented "in production", a basic income would be funded through taxation, and so wouldn't increase the total amount of cash at all, just shift it about.
Yeah... How about "mcl", "A Mac Command-Line tool"?
Sure, but it would have been true if the votes had been reversed. So, I think people understand the unstated bias. Remain was the "correct" vote and the leave, were therefore in the wrong, according to this bias.
