Honestly? Eastern Europeans, of all people, got massively subsidized by the EU. Biting the hands that feed you is a great recipe for building resentment and mistrust, which brings conflict and ultimately war.
I think it's also unlikely that the UK will end up neutral on scientific funding overall. There's no fundamental reason it couldn't, of course: as Leave campaigners have argued, leaving the EU research programmes doesn't require a net reduction in funding for UK researchers, since the UK could simply put an equivalent amount of money into its own scientific funding programmes. Those of us in computing, for example, currently get a good portion of our funding from the EU's framework programmes, and another good portion from the UK's own EPSRC. The UK could keep the total level of funding for science/engineering research constant by setting the EPSRC's new funding level to an amount equal to the sum of previous EPSRC funding, plus the funds previously received by UK-based science/engineering researchers from the EU framework programmes. But will the government actually do so? I predict they will not, and that it won't even be close.
Yet another irrelevant analogue being trumped up as "evidence" of something yet to happen. I'll convert once I see actual vehicles on actual roads.
The issue is they wanted a vote. The Speaker will not give them one because it is pretty clear it would fail. The process of bringing something to a vote against the decision of the speaker is you have to get 218 member's signatures on a petition (in the case of getting a bill out of committee it is called a discharge petition.Not sure if that is what it is called in this case though).
After meeting a few CEOs of large corporations it's clear that being intelligent or knowledgable about their industry is not their primary attribute. Rising to that sort of position has more to do with social networking ability and how well you perform in the theater of the corporate officeplace.
Just curious, but have you acted upon this belief and bet on Trump in the prediction markets?

In San Antonio, Texas, last week, I used Apple Maps to search for 'two brothers bbq'. The actual name of the establishment is 'two bros bbq' or similar. Apple maps decided to give me results from Europe as the first few in the result set. Why in the world would I want directions to Europe while in Texas?
Google maps, of course, picked it up on the first try.

One other thing - while in navigation mode with Apple maps, try panning the map around, or even zooming. Let me know how that goes.

This reads like a snide remark toward art and artists in general... if it is, why?
They state in the video that they can adjust the suspension (I imagine this is more than just spring rates and shock stiffness but they didn't confirm). Watching the videos I was actually impressed that it seemed to accurately model the difference between a mustang and a corvette (I am a fairly serious "car guy"). The thing that got me was an Aveo spinning the rear tires... They didn't state if they could change the drive wheels. In most ads I would guess this wouldn't matter much.
Lol. Free publicity for LE. Good job Comodo.
That's because they're better known as a hardware and systems company, but they're trying to pivot to an analytics and cloud services company.

You've accurately observed what everyone in rush hour sees firsthand; how the poison distribution occurs in real life.

Worse, if you're the one in that vanishing lane, behaving in those optimum for you ways, you're the winner.

Automated driving, particularly if the automated driving lanes only obey 'safe driving speed' (not an actual limit) is the only real hope aside from a reduction in the traveling population.

Speaking of that, the best solution to this issue and that of skyrocketing prices for housing of any sort is build-baby-build (in all the cities).
Yeah, all true. Especially the Google-ability of it.

Ok, here's my last argument then. It's aesthetically pleasing. I admit that's probably the weakest argument, but also the hardest to refute :)
Oh lord, you can't even identify the parts of speech correctly. Anyway, those imply that women are cowardly and whiny, and it's sexist. Now you're aware.

Something like Approval Voting or even better range voting would have been worth it.

Unfortunately nationalism and populism won another war. Now watch Scotland make referendum to leave UK and after leaving they will join EU.
Britain Votes to Leave the European Union
Sigh....London should have a vote next to leave the UK.
Ants also cooperate.

Ants share the road only with their own kind.

Ants are blind, mostly.

Ants don't really care if they live or die.

Despite all this, they still collide with each other constantly. If they were the size of cars, these collisions would cause constant injury. They are not an appropriate analogue.

British Pound is at the lowest level since 1985 at 1.33 USD/GBP.
Does anyone knows how this will affect tech recruitment?
You keep using the words "truth", "matter of fact", "accuracy", "evidence of their own eyes"; and refer to people who disagree as "liars", etc.

But I don't think any of that is accurate; I think your words are false and the argument rests only on the assumption that they are true.

If you want to cite something persuasive, you'll need something with more widespread credibility.

EDIT:

> It turns out that stereotypes, however distasteful, usually do have a certain degree of accuracy ... You may not want to live in the world where they do

This is an argument with a strawman that you made up, some absolutist person who says otherwise. If you read my prior comment, I already agreed with you that they have some degree if meaning.

> but that reality is what it is.

However, you don't get to define reality; maybe your definition is wrong.

You claim to want to avoid propaganda, but you are hewing to that approach closely with the assumptions, the absolutes, the lack of skepticism of your own position. My impression of Heterodox Academy is that it's more of the same but regardless, how about finding some more serious sources if you genuinely want to know?
I don't have that much confidence in my analysis. I'm an amateur.
I have never felt less British than I do right now. :(
According to the article, the author was neither hired nor fired by Google. The author worked on campus for a contractor.
I don't really understand the reasoning either for or against this.

The default seems to be non eu-membership. So why should Britain stay in the EU? People are commenting on this as though it's really obvious.
Would love to see what the people who were shorting european stock (expecting this outcome) made out with.

I think I read an article earlier today about Blackrock shorting like 50% of their european holdings or something?
Can someone please give an unbiased summary of what this means and how it will impact the UK, Europe, and the rest of the world?
Because facts don't win elections, persuasion and emotions win elections.
Is Scotland going to be exiting the UK next? Guess we'll see in a few years.

Hard to know what will happen here, but I suspect once the UK (or what's left of it) signs a trade deal with the EU, they'll get the same deal as Norway - all the compliance with EU regulations, with none of the say. I suppose people may be happy with that deal, as long as they can get to say they're "free".

I'm hoping this somehow leave the EU in better shape, perhaps more cohesive, perhaps reforming in ways to minimize chances of anyone else leaving. As a Bulgarian (not living in Europe) this makes me somewhat bitter - seems Englishmen can't accept belonging to a club we also belong to.
The way Scotland voted "Remain" is pretty stark: http://imgur.com/gallery/JjbEPZZ/new

I can see an Independence Referendum 2.0 being pushed through...
I voted today.

I work in London at a startup with international markets. I believe in the ideal of free movement. I think the EU is a bit of a mess conceptually and mechanically, but in general a step forward for Europe.

This is really the beginning of a very long, tedious and ultimately unsatisfying couple of years of dissatisfaction and instability as we negotiate with the EU and the rest of the world.

I don't understand the hand-wringing.

Countries have engaged in trade for thousands of years - Brexit won't change that.
As a free market supporter it is horrifying that protectionist sentiments reign supreme in the UK. Hopefully this does not foreshadow the US congressional and presidential elections in November.
The rig they are using is modeling only wheel movements, not proper suspension setups. Can it model how a Fiat500 will lift a rear tire in a sharp corner? You cannot do that with such a low center of gravity.

To be frank the EU was built on power centralization and socialism as key principles. It's been what, 15 years+ since the Eurozone and the Economy is still doing as bad as before, if not worse for most member states. Hardly a success model by ANY measure.

Who's on the high horse? I described what I considered to be meaningless interaction, and I know you see the same things. Were not proclaiming that the concept behind Facebook is meaningless, but that the way Facebook conducts itself is immoral.
Was this vote protectionist? I assume they'll just setup free trade deals with Europe, similiar to what Norway and Switzerland already have?
It's hard to say. It could make Britain turn inward for labour. With the lost of less expensive external labour, the local market could rise as wages track demand. At the same time Britain may be loosing a lot of money soon. This could drive down demand since the EU will probably look to exclude the UK from contracts as a punitive measure, even if it's just a subconscious thing.

You might also see tech leave the country. Selling in the EU will be more costly. As a result, companies might start moving out or collapsing. Their former employees would then leave too.
I think this is a dire inditement for neoliberalism; nearly everyone expected this to go the other way: the markets, the media, the polls... When the stats are analyzed, I assume the people who suffer from globalization will be the ones who made up a bulk of the leave vote. The question is why wouldn't they vote the way they did? Free trade is a lose lose for them, damned if they do, damned if they don't.
London as a city state would be pretty amazing. They can put the English parliament into Winchester, with some historical justification.
They have many good reasons to leave the EU. And very few reasons to stay.
Norway and Switzerland pay for that deals to EU fund. Funny thing is that if UK will get the same deal which i highly doubt (not as good as others after leaving - EU leaders already said that you can't have cake and eat cake) they will pay only 8% less than they pay as members of EU now.
They'll move to Scotland, which will shortly seek to depart from the south. I cannot wait to see the Queen going through passport control on her way to Balmoral.
I've heard multiple times that taking food home is "ungoogly". I can't remember exactly where, but I think at least once in one of the many training/ethics videos I had to watch.
Yeah, for example Google Maps is good for people who are actually looking for something while Apple Maps is perfect for those who don't care what's on the map.

I kid, but only sort of. Apple Maps has serious data freshness problems. For years they listed businesses in a building that had long-since been demolished. Looking around in my Oakland neighborhood, Apple Maps is missing two new streets. Google has an indoor map of the BART station, Apple doesn't. Etc.
It's a domino effect looking forward. Other nationalist parties in other nations e.g. France will look at this result and try to leave as well. Scotland could easily leave the UK given that they wanted overwhelmingly to stay. It'll be interesting to watch how foreign UK citizens will be impacted with their jobs in Europe.

The consequences are huge.

Is populism supposed to be bad? I just looked up the definition to make sure and it's basically the principle that ordinary people should have control over government rather than political insiders and wealthy elite. That sounds like democracy to me. Is there an aspect I'm missing?

"Frexit". I say that as a joke, but I can see that happening.
Ask HN: Do I stay or do I go? Walking away from options
I'm employee number one at a very small startup/spinoff.

I'm the sole dev. During my run I've overhauled the tech from a wretched consultant-mess to a solid 12-factor core that helps us to build quickly, deploy often, and scale, written new apps from scratch, and taken care of all necessary to keep the lights on while charging hard on new features. I'm a fast, pragmatic programmer with a good background in networking, security, web, data, and a few other areas.

The company's kept an investor value in the high seven figures, sans independent 409a, due to the parent's good name and a license to some of the its work. Seed funding but not managed to ink a VC deal. Finally getting some traction although a decent exit seems distant as ever.

I have options on about 3% of the total, at a strike 70% of the last preferred round. No info on any liquidation prefs & cet. The value hasn't budged in my time here. The founders and board do not have experience taking a company public (but good luck telling them that). I took a substantial pay cut at hiring, not to subsistence wages, but more than enough to sting. Purchasing my vested options is out of the question; in fact it is hard to imagine a more reckless financial move at this point, given the high strike price and very uncertain future. So I will be stuck waiting for cashless exercise and paying straight income tax--not the capital gains rate--on any gain.

I enjoy my work and the autonomy of calling all the technical shots. But, there is nobody to learn from or manage. And I am feeling taken advantage of: equity starting well-underwater of reality, common shares priced at a high proportion of preferred, doing the work of a small team, solo. It's my first job with a startup, first with equity, and I find myself learning and ruminating over the shit sandwich of employee equity to an unhealthy degree.

In the end, while it probably isn't fair to ask "stay or go?" have any of you been here before? What do you think?
Yeah the CG is obviously way too low when they show the white sedan sliding around in the parking lot.

Also they say "any" car, but what they really mean is any car with worse performance characteristics than this car. (Try using it to simulate a F1 car)
UK should just form their own EU but call it UK.
Yeah, but they are spending a lot on soap operas as well...

Those could very well be provided by the private market.
actually, my recollection is a little fuzzy - games like Thief and System Shock

I think it might be, Ultima Underworld, Dark Forces, Marathon, many others were story-driven well before Half Life. So I don't think it's story that did it. The console aspect is something several designers have written about, including Romero, I just couldn't google my way back to the references.

I remember one of the biggest praises given to Call of Duty (EDIT: actually, reading further down, I think it was Soldier of Fortune that I was thinking of!)

MOHAA, I think not COD or SoF.
How does anyone expect growth in a developed country? You can't free market your way out of it without sacrificing your social obligations and protections.

What is success? High YOY GDP growth? Or quality of life? Look to America (my country) with very limited worker protections, almost no social safety nets, extremely high income and wealthy inequality; we still only eek out only ~2% GDP growth, and that's on the backs of the poor.

The BBC just announced that "Britain has voted to leave the European Union".

Leave only needs 2,105,984 more votes to win. [edit 12:15am EST] 1,715,256 votes now and closing fast. [edit 12:19am EST] 1,196,678 [edit 12:27am EST] 894,189 [edit 12:31am EST] 785,549 [edit 12:37am EST] 741,795 [edit 12:38am EST] 592,337 [edit 12:45am EST] 448,596 [edit 12:46am EST] 373,532 [edit 12:51am EST] 308,519 [edit 12:57am EST] 94,635 [edit 1:00am EST] 37,665 [edit 1:02am EST] 0. The UK has officially voted to leave.

Predicted result: Leave 52%, Remain 48%

Wow. So what happens now?

- Scotland voted 62% Remain. The SNP said it will call a second independence referendum if Leave wins. Many estimate that the independence movement will win this time around. Literally every single Scottish division voted to remain.

- Gibraltar will probably be royally screwed [0] as well as some other areas that are heavily dependent on trade/travel with EU countries

- The pound drops like a rock. Was stable at $1.48 all day, peaked at $1.50 earlier after Remain was doing well (~6pm EST), now at $1.33 (12:13am EST), now at $1.32 (12:21am EST) and the lowest level since 1985. In 1985 it hit $1.08, which was then the lowest value in a very long time.

- The pound is down 17% from the yen by the way.

- Other independence movements in other EU countries gain a bit of legitimacy. The euro drops (currently at $1.09, down four cents or 3%), and the yen gains (currently up 6%) (12:25am EST)

- For those of us fortunate enough to have our savings in dollars, everything denominated in pounds is currently on a 12% off sale.

"pussy", as you used it, is a noun. I don't even know why I'm continuing this idiotic debate, the point is that it's offensive. You can deny that as much as you want, it makes no difference.
The first time I read it I was amazed at how unaffordable everything was.

But Bill Gates has said he reads every issue of The Economist from cover to cover, so they definitely know their audience. They'll be in the black as long as they can sell him and Richard Branson one Gulfstream every 5 years.

This is quite interesting, especially the llvm jit bits. Are there any performance figures?
E? Do you know what welfare does UK has? They are good with their socialism. It's not why they are leaving. And EU is much more than money, look at history of EU and look in which part of the history there was no wars in EU.
Can London too?
The worldwide economy isn't doing very well; it's not just the EU. Is there any evidence that leaving the EU will help this situation? I think there are a lot of people who agree with you, but this whole thing seems too poorly planned and justified to really understand the impact. People are voting based on how they feel instead of what will actually have the best outcome.
This is a pretty nice setup for those who aren't technical or couldn't be expected to setup a local environment to test in.

I used to work in IT at a place with used this GOD-AWFUL CMS that did this similarly but was written in apparently jQuery-plugin-hell and ASP.NET Forms. The website to edit was slow (many seconds per page. In page JS actions took many seconds) and required manual deploys.

Code could not be edited outside the browser editors (PHP, JS, etc.)

So a system that publishes a static site on S3 fairly easily seems like a win to me.
This decision is going to have major effects on markets over the next few days.
Populism is seen as bad by people who want centralization of power (socialists of all borders in general, as well as fascists). So if you have been fed the socialist propaganda for years when living in the EU, you assume it's bad.
I'm sure Germany agrees. The EU has been just terrible for member economies.
Despite what most people are claiming on social media and even here, the fact is no one actually knows what is going to happen. Even Nigel Farage, the leader behind the "Brexit" movement, has said he has "absolutely no idea what will happen..."

You know what? Some of us are sick of regulations from Brussels, of unelected bureaucracy, of CE Marks of approval, of socialism, of rampant immigration, of refugees, of Russian prostitutes, of Polish kielbasa shops in London, of feeling like foreigners in our own land.

And we might not be in the minority anymore.
There's no such thing and nobody knows. The UK may break up or not. This could be very bad for the EU or they could just shrug. Stay tuned.
>>> ... as we negotiate with the EU and the rest of the world.

HA! Negotiate. If Britain want to shoot itself in the foot and unsettle the world economy, it can do so on its own. The EU need not concede on anything. Why should they, given that Britain won't be a voting member in a couple years. If I were France I would start bricking up the chunnel tomorrow.
I don't like that especially in Germany it has reduced the depth to which people were expected to study a subject to receive a degree (A German diploma in math took 5 years) and that they introduced grades that mattered along the way. This pushes students to narrow their focus and optimise good exam results. In the old system you had two exams that mattered, one oral exam after two years and your final grade was determined by a set of oral exams and your thesis.

The result is as far as I can tell from personal experience that the quality of an average master students in Math and Physics is now significantly lower than that of diploma students.

They also introduced very interesting language, you study Modules, each of which give you points. In the end you are supposed to end up as a nice exchangeable semi-educated narrowly focussed cog in some big corporation.
It is supposed to, if you add fear mongering to it. Dictators usually believe in it, that's why they try to control every news outlet or public space there is and spread their propaganda
Well there's ample evidence that the EU is not doing any better than the rest of the world, and certainly worse that many developing countries and even worse than non-EU developed nations. There's litterally no data to support that the EU was a good thing on an economic point of view.

Actually I would agree that win32 is more stable once you get the hang of it. I have worked with WPF, Winforms, MFC and win32. win32 was by far the most complete, predictable and flexible environment. It takes a lot of learning and you can't just let anybody work on the codebase. But once you know what you are doing and maybe have some simple wrappers for routine stuff it's pretty good.
