These are completely different cases.

Scotland has been its own traditional country for a very long time, and the union with England was formed when the King of Scotland became also King of England and not the other way around.

Northern Ireland is the vestige of a brutal occupation of Ireland by England. The Catholic population traditionally loyal to Ireland now outnumbers the UK-supporting Protestants.

London has never been a country. This is obviously a protest demonstration and not a serious proposition.

lol, wat, should the UK send their unemployed to the US, so they build "the wall" for them? ;)
People have seen the market responding to uncertainty by dumping GBP and FTSE and are equating that with the UK economy actually being much worse off already. Hence the sudden 'realisation' that brexit was a terrible decision. Large numbers of traders betting on the UK betting on the UK being worse off does not make it so. (Or I guess it kind of does.. but that's markets for you!)

At this point we have absolutely no information about what the Brexit deal will look like, it's impossible to know what the UK economy will be like post EU.
For all we know the eurozone could face a crisis in the next few years and by distancing itself from Brussels the UK could end up better off.

In a month or two when things have settled down we'll see a much more reasoned debate. Once article 50 is invoked and we begin to see what the 'leave' deal will actually look like you may see many people adjusting their position.

My experience exactly. Nickel.rs has a fairly good set of clear examples on its website and then some more on Github.

Unfortunately it seems to be a common trend that Rust projects only provide API docs. While that can be useful I find more 'high level' docs much more helpful especially when you're new to the language and/or framework.
George Orwell on Brexit
Yeah, this would benefit from a sample chapter.
UK joined the EU in 1993. There was no referendum on that. If there had been, people would have voted to continue in the ECC but not to join the EU.
Are you saying it's categorically wrong to use subjective adverbs in headlines?

The EU has an official blog keeping track of all the lies that the british press publish about the EU.

http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euromyths-a-z-index/

It's worse than not knowing stuff, most UK people have negative knowledge of the EU since their heads are full of lies.
Also, what if the new PM has to pass through general elections? You might end up having someone which promises to trigger article 50 and someone who does not. A second referendum.
Barely!

The point in discussion, everyone likes equality in a way they having it, without they having to do anything about it. Or in other words making the rich poor in some way. Wasn't this what communism was all about.

The real issue is equality in access to basic resources, which is by and large there already. Beyond this you need to let people win and lose on merit.

You don't go around paying the same money for a haircut and brain surgery. That sort of equality doesn't work. Or to be more precise that's inequality of a very worst kind.
The backlash towards older people in UK isn't because they decided the future for younger ones, it's because they decided the future the media and politicians don't want. Unlike most European countries, in Poland young people, especially the ones just entering the voting age, vote overwhelmingly right-wing, and they are also criticized. But this time it isn't "deciding future for younger ones", it's "lack of experience and wisdom that comes with age".

"We need a better system, one where representation is proportional."

Well, keep seceding from things and you'll get there.

Back in the 1990s, a lot of technoutopians thought that in the future, polities would tend to break into smaller pieces naturally. Computers would tend to reduce the scales necessary to make services work, by lowering the number of administrative personnel needed. Big government has had a pretty good run in the past 20 years and people forgot about the idea, but maybe that was just a big government bubble.

Silicon Valley makes a lot of money on disintermediation. Who's to say government itself isn't something that can and should be disintermediated?

I think people subconsciously assume that if the system holds together, their side will naturally win out, due to sheer rightness. (And won't it be fun to rub your power in the loser's face?) One of the things Brexit ought to be doing to a lot of HN posters here is reminding them quite concretely that that is not true. You may just bind everything and everybody into one big polity, only for it at the last moment to be taken over by the very people you didn't like. It's all fun and games to increase Federal power and jurisdiction over a lot of life to show those racist everything-phobic bumpkins in the flyover states how they are supposed to live life... then you wake up one day and the entire apparatus is at Trump's fingertips. Maybe building that big apparatus wasn't as good an idea as it seemed at the time. Maybe we'd all be better off leaving each other alone a bit more.
Yeah, I agree that the GP went overboard with the conspiracy accusation. There is of course no conspiracy; but it does indicate bias.
There are a large number of issues for which there exist equally well-informed arguments for both sides, or that there is no actual 'true' answer to be chosen.

After last week's E3, this isn't super surprising. Almost every story I read about Oculus wasn't about their Touch controller demos but about how they were buying timed-exclusives while locking HTC Vives out of the store.

Still good to see it happen though.
I am not sure that I understand your use of the term "welfare state". My dictionary says:

> a system whereby the government undertakes to protect the health and well-being of its citizens, especially those in financial or social need, by means of grants, pensions, and other benefits.

The above is standard in all of the northern-European countries typically lauded for their economic success. Clearly, this was not what caused the collapse of the Greek economy. Of course, there are many alternative theories, but the most convincing one I am aware of is that it was the result of subprime lending by north-European (predominantly German) banks.
Do you think it's impossible for a non-democratic government to be just? Do you think it's possible for a democratic government to be unjust?

Well then, go vote. The reason old people get their way so much more is because they vote.

I heard a young lady interviewed on the BBC this morning, talking about how young people felt betrayed because this choice was made by people who wouldn't feel the negative consequences. When the interviewer pointed out that a lot of young people didn't vote, she blamed the negative nature of the campaigns for that, rather than acknowledging that maybe if people want a certain outcome they should vote that way.

It's the same situation in the US. The will of the people and the actions of the government don't line up all that well, and a lot of it is because young people don't vote. The government goes along with the will of the voters reasonably well.

I'm sure you vote, but a lot of people like you just stay home. If you don't want your elders making all the decisions, convince your cohorts to go have their say.
The case could be made that not letting the people who will have to deal with the consequences for longer have a larger say is also discrimination. To be clear I'm not advocating for this to be put into practice however I do think that elderly should vote with this point in the back of their minds.

I agree about moving to pass/fail, if the bar to pass is moved up a bit. I went to a school with relatively low grade inflation and I would say any I didn't really have a good understanding of a class unless I got a B or higher, barring some mathematical oddities (e.g. 50% of grade determined by one test).

I suppose it depends on the professor's philosophy of what a test should be as well. If the test is intended to make students stretch their knowledge then it might be OK to make a C. That would mean you understand what was covered in class but couldn't make the next intuitive leap on the test. However, most tests I took weren't like that. Anyone who understood the material should have been able to make at least a B.
Really, you don't need to apologize for the Utah police being dumb enough to repeat that "special scent only storage devices give off" rubbish. It's OK, the US Supreme Court almost always says we citizens have to give police a pass based on their verified Good Intentions.

But it's still stupid to believe that yourself. "Storage devices" (except maybe DVDs or CD ROMs) are made of the same components with the same processes as Tee vee remotes, cell phones, laptops, you name it. They're not going to smell special, even to a dog, and they're really not going to smell special if there's porn on them. Bits are bits, dude.

Either URL is a fake (likely) or he just alerts on subconscious clues from the policeman (highly likely). He's going to be like those drug-sniffing dogs that mainly detect cheese and sausage: the police will end up finding and returning a lot of lost remotes, and using fishy evidence in court, contributing to disrespect of law enforcement, and the US legal system in general.
Re Blackbaze B2, what other issues can you think of?
In addition to the other voter, Switzerland population also restricted the government into tight budgets and debt reduction.

If you give people the options they will make okish choices. enough okish choices for a long time yield a great democracy.

Switzerland is also not in the EU for the same reason, we voted against joining after the political classes singed us up for it. Now if you suggest joining the EU most of the Swiss population would laugh at you. Why would anybody join such a horrible shit show of an institution.
Agreed. There's lots of developer-centric posts lately that "config management" is dead, "no ops", "serverless" etc and they are sort of shortsighted. Sure it might work in a small greenfield environment but at any kind of scale you will still have a need for config management, servers and someone that pays attention to the ops side of things.

The role of config management has changed slightly in the era of micro services and containers but it is still essential.
I don't want to think about such a future... One also wouldn't need to commit any crimes to summon the attention law enforcement, either. Perhaps it will be more automated though--the earpiece could double as Harrison-Bergeron-type equipment, rendering you miserable and meek if you step--no think--out of line.
Western culture as a whole pretty dumb these days - we used to have the Bible and the classics as common cultural touchstones, but nowadays the only shared culture is idiotic stuff like Star Wars, so most people get their fundamental ideas of how the world works from there, rather than anything that touches on the real world.
Interesting that they are publishing the algorithm before implementing it. I wish more people did this. This way, if the algorithm doesn't work out, we'll have some way of knowing. If they hadn't published the algorithm, tried it, and then abandoned it, then nobody would have any way of knowing that there had been a negative result.

I don't have high hopes for this algorithm, because my intuition is that transactions aren't common enough to make a big difference. Looking forward to seeing the implementation and empirical data.
I recognize bias, and I recognize that I myself am biased. But I also maintain that the title is accurate, and the implications of the bias are reasonable to draw. Whether or not this speaks to the quality of the publication is up to anyone, and I might agree with you if I had read more from the WP in the past.

It's a truth that a lot of people are googling things like this inside the UK and the adverb "frantically" I believe reasonably addresses how large the amount of searches is.

I also believe that the implication stands solid, that a lot of the Brexit voters had no idea what they voted on, what the implications of a Brexit are, and were largely motivated by things like fear of immigrants, which intellectuals seem to agree is a... not so smart fear to have.
"Why can't these people just accept a democratic decision without painting those who voted in an undesired way as retards?"

Because if your opposition isn't composed entirely of morons, there's a chance that your position might actually be wrong. And some people can't handle that possibility.
Ballot props are far more regular in CA than headlines suggest. The requirement for signatures keeps dropping as voter turnout drops, and it doesn't take that many resources to get something on the ballot. An appealing title and description make it fairly easy to get a lot of maybe not so great spending passed, despite reasonably good efforts to keep voters informed. I don't know that the overall function is that different from what you describe, given that there isn't really a strong opposition party in the state, but it is hard to get the majority of people to really think critically about 5 different obscure spending packages.
Are you trying to imply they didn't "make a wise decision" or perhaps that your political opposition is stupid?
If so, I hope it was John Carmack.

Maybe so, and maybe people who voted in the EU referendum without understanding the EU are likewise an extreme minority. If you want to stick with easily quantifiable facts then I don't think this is the right discussion for you.

Northern Ireland was counted as one block, there was no regional voting.
There are 25% who didn't vote, maybe because they didn't expect the Vote to Leave to win and just now they got worried.

Instead of this trouble, they could probably go through with fixing the EU legislatures that they find problematic.

Indeed.

What? They love covering him because they get so many viewers. Hell, they're partially the reason he catapulted into the limelight--had they treated his antics the same as the other politicians' he'd have received far less air time than he has so far.
The entire article is hostile and biased; a biased headline that properly summarizes a biased article is not an accomplishment, it's just more propaganda.

First, we have to treat the source with healthy skepticism: Google, like most other large companies, probably wanted the UK to Remain, so they're going to release data that is intended to embarrass the Leave camp since they're bitter over their loss and want to prove that the vote was bad. An article stating that Google claims this is one of the most-asked questions is fine, but it's taken as de-facto true by the WaPo, which is improper. People tend to believe these things, but even results in peer-reviewed studies are totally and completely fabricated with surprising frequency. It certainly happens a lot with unauditable data like Google Trends.

Besides being incentivized to embarrass the British people, we also have to assume that Google is squashing various forms of the query into one block: "What is the EU?", "what is eu", "what is the e.u.?", and so on would be logical, but what about just "EU"? Is it counted? Surely many people would type that in to be directed to the official EU home page.

Second, even if it is an accurate representation of the search queries in the UK, there is not necessarily heavy correlation between people that voted and people that were asking that question. Many people who cannot or do not vote use Google, especially teenagers that are tech-literate but not yet of age to vote, and they may be seeking to be informed on the monumental decision that others in the UK just made.

Third, asking Google a question doesn't necessarily mean you don't know the answer. I often conduct queries for things I already know because I want to find a citation for a specific claim, I want to find a related image, or I want to see what other people think and/or say about the thing. This is pretty typical. For example, my last search was "howard dean yell" to find a link to the clip of Howard Dean's infamous "yeah". I've known about Howard Dean's yell since it happened in 2004. That I searched for this doesn't mean that I was ignorant previously; it just means I was trying to find something concrete.

Fourth, the way that Google presents suggested questions can cause people to click the option out of convenience, curiosity, or even just proximity, so we need not assume that every query is sincere or even intentional.

So, an unbiased first paragraph of the article would be something like this:

American web search company Google has stated that the query "What is the EU?" was among the most searched today, hours after the UK voted to leave the European Union.

Compare to the actual first paragraph, which literally says "it seems many Britons may not even know what they had actually voted for." That's open hostility and bias.

Aside from all this, there is bias merely in the selection of what to publish, even if the article and headline are written in a seemingly-neutral way. The fact that WaPo is choosing to publicize Google's unverifiable declaration in the first place lets you know where they stand.

The people of the UK voted for the Conservatives, on an explicit platform of austerity.

Only 37% of the population was needed for this, but this is because the UK voters had been apathetic about the opportunity to reform the voting system.

So how can they claim to be disappointed by the EU adopting the same polities?

I love how everyone is digging into the D/Rust/C++ flamewar and not discussing the project at hand.

It appears monolithic. There's actually very little content about what it's design goals are, what it's trying to accomplish, or even what interfaces it'll support. I'm assuming POSIX because everyone loves to re-write UNIX and there is a boat load of documentation/implementations and most of these are monolithic.
