Correct, after all had too much from the so called left wing just dismissing the people's concerns via just labeling and dismissing the people and ignoring the concerns.

After all when has picking out the few individuals and projecting that upon the many ever worked out well? As that is discrimination and too what agenda. To project the migrational bias for Europeans at the expense of allowing people from other countries to come to the UK. That if anything is more xenophobic and discriminatory in nature than the leave side and sadly seems more common with those who wanted to remain.

But been way to much name calling by pro-EU groups and indeed the EU leaders themselves over the years and to what effect. Highlighting they are not only out of touch with the people but happily ignore them.

how else can one explain why as a European I have yet to find one person in favour of TTIP and that alone indicates the EU listerns to corporations and ignores the people more than anything and that needs to change, to reform and improve.

The EU now has an opportunity to improve itself for the betterment of the people or it can carry on with its model of alienating the people it supposedly serves.
But that is exactly what is wrong with having a referendum over it. The circus is inevitable, as are emotional arguments abused by populist politicians. Some matters shouldn't be decided by which side of an argument happens to have hired the better team of PR consultants.
Democracy can work but we all need to practice and support it.

The citizens need to have leftover mental energy and time from everyday life to think and learn about politics, form opinions and engage in discussions with each other.
Academia needs to be heavily invonved to provide unbiased, politically independent facts, pros and cons for each choice.
And there may be a role for online platforms as well to support direct democracy, proving information and a forum for discourse.
> When they are rare, and limited, and like in Switzerland not something pulled on a whim but actually requires some work to call, they might just work.

In Switzerland you essentially vote on 2-5 issues every quarter. I think this very regularity has educated the people.

It also helps that by law, if you vote on a proposal that would increase spending, you aso vote on how much your taxes increase. In the case of the Gotard Tunnel it was 1.6% increase in income tax for several decades (if I'm not mistaken). Swiss even vote on buying fighter jets, etc. You would be surprised how well it works.

All that said, the swiss constitution actually states that it is the job of the government to make sure the people have a good standard of living. So many social policies which would be difficult to get through constitutionally in lets say the US are rather simple in the Switzerland.

My only big nitpick in the swiss system is the lack of minority protection an little to no checks and balances by the supreme court on referenda.
That is a good point, but, how many of those democracies took place in the era of fast communication by locomotive, telegraph, email, SMS, the long distance phone call, Skype, and others? Surely there is a difference between the Roman Empire being stretched and sending messages by foot and FDR addressing the US by radio.
With the amount of easily consumable and manipulative propaganda going around it's quite easy to make a misguided vote without realising the implications. It's not like voting to leave takes much effort.
I find it silly that you're so willing to do away with voting without entertaining changing the voting system itself.
My take on it is that direct democracy doesn't make sense for this type of complex and nuanced decision. The general population isn't in the business of politics and scare tactics on both sides aren't going to educate them on the nuances and detailed implications of a decision like leaving the EU. That's why we vote for representatives who make it their job to understand, and vote accordingly -- representative democracy and direct democracy are two different things.

People feel qualified to weigh in on any political issue because that's always been that narrative. I see it asking the general population, without any further information to vote one day or whether Apple should move factories out of China. You know literally nothing about what's going on, so how could you possibly make that decision for Apple? That's up to their board.
The Remain campaign never made any positive points about staying in the EU (apart from a few in the Labour party talking about workers rights, but they got about 4% airtime and very little newspaper coverage). The vast majority of the Remain campaign was all about the terrible consequences of leaving.

The Leave campaign was a mix of fear of foreigners, fear of unaccountable bureaucracy and a vision of a Britain that had "taken back control".

The purely negative vision lost.

(There are also those that say that the Eurozone was doomed to failure because of the imbalances in the countries involved with no mechanisms to rectify those imbalances - making the fact that the EU stepped in and replaced two democratically elected governments an inevitability. So it engineered a bad situation then punished the losers in that situation for falling into it. But I don't know enough about economics to argue that point)
I don't think that would come out right. If you use cold water, you'd have to replace heat with time and the entire point of the aeropress is to brew quickly, to avoid leeching the more bitter parts of the bean.

My general approach is: ~2.5 scoops into the aeropress, fill with 165 F to just above the -2- marker, stir a few times, immediately press out over 20 seconds directly onto tumbler of ice.

The false premise in your post is that "being well-informed" would lead you to a particular conclusion. Governing isn't like building a dam. You'd be insane to build a dam by getting random people on the street to design it. But the principles underlying governance aren't predictable like the principles underlying engineering. You're not going to find prominent engineers at leading universities disagree about whether concrete with a particular compressive strength will hold back a particular amount of water. Yet, you had a number of prominent economists on the pro-Brexit side: http://www.wsj.com/articles/pro-brexit-economists-make-case-....

At the end of the day, on most issues (obviously there are exceptions), the "informed" class is just guessing or following a particular ideology. Was NAFTA good for the average American? 20 years later economists still can't definitively answer that question!
Presumably because it's very common in Japan, and not so common elsewhere.

Switzerland also has a much higher literacy rate. That makes it a lot easier to get an intelligent decision from the public.

I think an important wrinkle here is that Rust's ownership model helps prevent many runtime-errors other than memory safety. I'm not sure how D handles problems like iterator invalidation, but I've found it really nice to always know what's able to mutate the state when in a given variable.

A big part of this vote is a huge swathe of voters who felt that they were not being properly represented by their representatives. All three major parties had similar lines on economic liberalisation, immigration and freedom of movement and so on and this has been the case for almost 20 years. So when a new party stepped in and said "we hear you, we want things to change to" it's not surprising it captured some of the public's imagination.
> Yeah, let them try to detect I'm using adblocker

Nothing in that translation says that the use of an adblocker is illegal.

> And what will prevent community from developing same thing under different name?

Nothing. This isn't about whether the adblocker itself is illegal or not; it's 100% about whether creating such a piece of software with a goal to make profit is legitimate or not.

From the article:

> However, the court does not consider the blockade of advertising in itself anticompetitive, but probably the whitelisting, which operates Eyeo to finance it.

As an aside, complaining about downvotes 30 minutes after something is posted is silly. For all we know, the downvotes are automated. Throwing out vague ad hominem attacks against perceived enemies makes you sound goofy.

And likely, it's not that your comment bothered anyone, it's just that it's inaccurate and adds nothing to the discussion.

Anecdotally, both Google and Apple maps have fail points. Up until very recently I would always try to double check Google Map's pin of a location from another source because it would be flat out wrong at least 10% of the time.

The more interesting thing to me now is seeing what OpenStreetMap and Mapbox are doing. Their combined trajectories may end up surpassing both Google and Apply. Mass produced drones along 3D scanning tools and improved 2D->3D imagery tech could provide for very comprehensive and open map data with all kinds of layers of usage far beyond geo coordinates, lanes, and street sign data.

Get hold of a copy of Tony Judt's Ill fares the land. It has references to the correlation between inequality and many measures of 'problems' and tries to make the case for a causal link. Also explains philosophical background.
I've been making Tokyo Ice-Drip Coffee for the last year - it has a slightly different taste than just mixing cold water and ice with the grounds, but I specifically like the lack of bitterness that would come about if the waxes in the coffee were melted by the heat and then extracted with the brew.

In any case, the most important phrase in the story is "many of the iced coffee processes I liked the best brewed coffee hot". If you find the coffee you like best, brew it that way. I'd also recommend trying the other brew methods to make sure you're not stuck on a local optimum.

And remember, you can brew coffee with water anywhere between freezing and boiling - the hotter the water, the more parafins you'll melt. If you're using a French Press (Cafetiere) and you think your coffee is too bitter at 200F, try 190F, then 180F, etc.

And coffee will change flavor as it stands. Brewing hot onto ice as described in this article eliminates post-brewing flavor changes. If you cold brew your coffee and then let it stand at room temperature for several days, it won't taste like the freshly brewed coffee either.

TLDR: Experiment until you find what you like.
Certainly large amounts of some kind of equality is needed for a democracy to work.
Well, it's not like the swiss didn't have their fare share of ethnic issues in th past. Keep in mind that Switzerland is linguistically diverse.

The difference is that because of direct democracy and every male being armed to the teeth, the government steps in and tries to reduce inequality. That way democracy works again. I mean, Jura used to have straight up ethnic riots.

HN headline is click-bait. The article's headline is: "Axel Springer vs. Eyeo: OLG Köln stated business model of AdBlock Plus unlawful".

There's also the population size difference. London alone is larger than Switzerland, and that's not even all of England, let alone the whole UK.
FDR summed it up pretty nicely in this quote:

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their

of democracy, therefore, is education.

And it seems that a lot of Britons requires exactly that: education before making a wise decision.

I'm pretty sure the software that requires an OS that runs POSIX software is sufficiently catered to. You have your Linuxes of every sort of flavor anyone could ever want (ranging from LFS/Gentoo Stage 3/Arch for the tuners and minimalists, to the 'I want to have Docker/git at my OS level' NixOS-esque machines, to the Ubuntu's for the "anything-but-Microsoft" demographic. (Not to mention, your BSDs, your QNX's (+3 or 4 other POSIX RTOS that are well supported in their ecosystem), your AIXes for the DB2's, ... ) It's sufficiently been explored and the need has been catered to.

Pjmlp (correct me if I'm wrong) would rather see exploratory endeavors rather than Yet-another-POSIX-impl. (And for the sake of argument, should that new platform garner steam and you absolutely, 100%, completely and totally need POSIX support! you can get pretty far creating PE/ELF on a non-POSIX OS with an emulation layer with ~3-4% overhead[VMware had a few whitepapers on it, and Unity is a component in production that demonstrates such behavior])

And if he were motivated enough to write a POSIX impl from scratch, while not trivial, it shouldn't be too hard (see: BusyBox, Yocto/Poky, hell, remember the NetBSD days? Any idiot could port to platform foo in a weekend.)

>> We haven't figured this shit out yet.

It depends on whether you view democracy as a process to perfect society or mitigate against social harm. If you think democracy should perfect (or even just improve) society, it will often seem ridiculous. Knowledgable voters don't determine the outcome of elections and referrendums, and instead the mass of voters who understand the least about the issues at hand determine their outcome. From this perspective, Aristotle's was probably onto something when he thought democracy was better named ochlocracy (i.e. 'mob rule').

However, if you understand that the purpose of democracy is to mitigate against social harm, then the drawbacks make sense. This would be the perspective of Alexander Hamilton and co. in the Federalist Papers. The tendency of political parties and factions, this view claims, is to benefit themselves at the expense of the greater society, and in fact often harming the greater society (e.g. North Korea). Assuming parties will seek their self interest at the expense of the common good, democracy is an institution which means the best interest of the parties is to get people to vote for them, which means they have to do things people actually want. From this perspective, democracy is certainly a problematic process but brings peace and prosperity because it tends, on the whole, to align the parties self interest with the perceived good of the society.

Eventually, those without resources will be wholly unable from achieving scores necessary to be in the top 0.1 percent. You'll have an entire class of people who will either be part of government or feasibly able to join as members die, retire, or finish their terms.

But, that's exactly what I was saying. I value free speech near the top of the list. I'm not taking any of this lightly. This is A Very Big Deal to me and so I've been following this very closely. I've watched Trump's talks, and I've formed my own opinions, and what I see is scaremongering rhetoric on both sides. But, I also see the lion's share of violence belonging to "my side" and it's made me think long and hard about a lot things.

I live close to Costa Mesa, CA and the violence at that Trump rally was abhorrent to me. The law enforcement response we later saw in Anaheim, CA, as a result, was cold, calculated, and, quite sadly, exactly what was needed. I agree with you completely, violence is not an acceptable response to not liking the things someone else says.
