To be faire the UK never totally adhered to the EU, they didn't adopt the euro, they are not part of the Schengen Area and they were against a lot of decisions and slowed the the EU contruction.
I see this break-up as an opportunity for the EU to grow faster without the UK slowing it down and with 2 leaders at its head (France and Germany).
And anyway, economically speaking, the UK will probably make a treaty with the EU that will be similar to the current situation.
The danger is that it gives ideas to quit the EU to other members.
There's a more in-depth article about this (rather than just the changelog) at http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/06/oculus-reverses-course...

The Article quotes Oculus - "We will not use hardware checks as part of DRM on PC in the future."
The large island is Great Britain. When the top bit splits off (that's Scotland btw) the bit left won't be 'the large island'.

If you're confused I suggest reading my first comment again...

I trust that you always refer to the Republic of China too, rather than Taiwan?
Your argument is that this proposition is valid notwithstanding the very real power struggle in society. Why would one want to even put someone through something as humiliating as an intelligence test to determine their rights. It reminds me of the reading tests during segregation to suppress black voters. If we would have implemented this test then, tell me would they have a fair chance in society?

At least from my perspective, the government is fair game for everyone. Already our best and brightest are working for us, however power is incredibly corrupting. The issue isn't the voter, it's the system that seeks to suppress and deny the will of the voter. The voter should have full responsibility, just like someone who decides to take unsanctioned drugs

Why were people horrified? I liked the points you made in your slides, specifically patching openssl in containers is a great use case. When will this connector be beta? By the way this connector along with something like "clair" would be a good foundation for vulnerability management system for containers in production:

"Long term" and "cloud" in one sentence! Isn't "long term cloud" an oxymoron?

There is no cloud, only other person's computers.
The release is dated for tomorrow, it looks like it got released early. Perhaps they were planning on putting out a big announcement tomorrow.
Because there was backlash. But I doubt Facebook changed its original intentions of locking down the platform. What happens if Oculus Rift takes 80% of the market? Will it still allow the Vive or other headsets to play nice with Oculus-exclusive games?

This is Facebook we're talking about here. Why even take the chance?

Great work. I started contributing to Dolphin earlier this year entirely as a result of seeing the well-polished status updates and technical articles that made it to HN from time to time.

It's been in a "freeze" for quite some time while bugs were nailed down, but I'm looking forward to being able to land some code finally!

And, if anyone is interested in some really cutting-edge ARM or x86 JIT code, there are lots of interesting problems to tackle (say hi in #dolphin-dev on freenode).
I might get out a map before I commit 100% to my travel plans.

Go already allocates on the stack anything it can prove it doesn't leave it. I don't see much work going on on escape analysis and I hope they will improve it.

I had to google this to have any idea what it was about. The linked release notes don't explain any of the background, the entirety of the content relevant to the headline is this:
"I've only just tested this and I'm still in disbelief, but it looks like Oculus removed the headset check from the DRM in Oculus Runtime 1.5. As such I've reverted the DRM patch and removed all binaries from previous releases that contained the patch."

Apparently Oculus was testing for a present oculus headset in its runtime, so it was difficult for a third-party devs to build shims to connect other VR hardware to it and enjoy VR games built for oculus.

Mods, I'd suggest changing the URL to something with a better explanation, like http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/06/oculus-reverses-course... which includes the above quote in addition to explaining the backstory.
If you want to break it down by races:

White Americans are getting shorter.

The difference in the HIV case is that we have an actual population sample that justifies our chosen base rate. That is to say, this isn't a "prior belief", this is a measured statistic. It's applicability is precisely because the population of individuals getting an HIV test is random from the general population, from which we have a measured statistic. But the use of the base rate in this case does not justify the usage of informative priors in every case.

>Unless applying your screening to a population somehow magically eliminates all variation that previously existed across the populations

But it might. The "population" of graduated + passed screening bears no a priori relationship to the population of entering freshmen precisely because this is a non-random sample, orders of magnitude smaller than the original population. Furthermore, there is further evidence that there is no relationship precisely because of the studies that show that entrance exams bare little correlation to college success past the first year.
Exactly.

The interesting thing about Prop 8 is, a few years later, the outcome of the vote has been totally reversed, same-sex marriage is the law of the land, and it now has solid majority support. The will of the people can change in a short time. You could imagine a similar outcome for the Brexit vote, if it weren't such a permanent change.
From what I've seen, a lot of it is people getting used to a standard of living above their means and being totally okay with going into debt to maintain it. People get used to having a lot of things they really don't need and end up spending a considerable amount of money on them. Upgrading phones through their cell phone provider for instance. I know a lot of people that just think "oh yay! I'm due for an upgrade." I think many don't realize that the phone isn't free. They could buy the phone outright and it'd be cheaper. They just pay for the phone through a higher cell phone bill for several months. Things like that add up.
Indeed, academia as we know it is somewhat broken. We can either fix it or replace it completely (eg. by some crowdfunded model) and give it a new name.

Either way, democracy would greatly benefit from an independent information source. While there are some purely subjective decisions to make in a society, a lot of them have some objective underlying facts (eg. is smoking harmful? is there a global warming?). Without an independent information provider, there's no way the average citizen could cast an informed vote on these matters.
I believe that it doesn't let you just plug in another Headset and use it with the official Oculus store - but it becomes pretty trivial for 3rd party 'hacks' like Revive to let you launch your Oculus games on an unsupported headset, rather than needing to go through a ton of trouble to circumvent the DRM.
I agree. It seems like a 2/3 majority would have been better.
Did you open a bug report with some datasets (profile dumps, etc.)? Go developers treat these kinds of regressions very very seriously. They absolutely want to avoid situations were users are pinned to an old version because of a performance regression.

Because the EU is soled on a platform of European Unity and how they are the highest achievement of the European Political classes.

The UK has a reason for their bad system. They have a very gradualist history. Compare it to France, where we are talking about the Republic 5 right now.

If we are doing a project for European Unity is should actually be better then everything else. It should be better then Switzerland, not worse then the UK.
Absolutely. The model is far too simplified to have any real explanatory power. The most basic premise is flawed. Goods and services aren't perfectly complementary. I might want a burger from a restaurant, but it's too expensive so I cook one at home. I might want to take a taxi, but it's too expensive so I buy a bike. I might want a lawyer, but it's too expensive so instead I buy a self-help law book. And software increasingly blurs the line between goods and services for a grower percentage of the overall economy.

Well, I don't know about how long any of these "ideas" were around somewhere buried in academia. What counts is that Rust tries things differently than Go, D or C++, so it's "new" in terms of an "implementation in broader use"

I actually like the concept of group based work much more in a grade-less environment. When grades are involved it over-burdens the good students because they have to pick up the slack for students who don't care, or risk getting a lower grade.
You still need a third party wrapper like Revive to translate the games Oculus API calls to the OpenVR API most other VR headsets use.

This change just means Oculus will no longer deliberately block such wrappers from working.

When political votes go your way I bet you don't start questioning the need for an absolute authority. This is literally just throwing a tantrum because you didn't get your way. The EU always was and always will be cancer and Britain leaving will be the first of many. We tried it out, it doesn't work, let's go back to sovereign nations working together on their own terms.
But in politics and economy per se, there is no right decision. There is no such thing as a utopia or path to one, social and economic order is in a constant, violent evolution. Politicians just manipulate this struggle instead of heal it. If you can accept that you can't control adult children, why not accept that you can't control people?

And that's not entirely false, parents can decide what medicine and procedures to put a child through. Doctors aren't all knowing, they make many mistakes and are even in the favor of special interests like pharmaceutical companies.
An emoji cannot be an emoji without having emoji presentation. There is a rifle character that resembles, in form and function, the other Olympic emoji, it's just not sitting in the set reserved for emoji. Any platform that wants to pick it up can use it, they can even put it next to all their other emoji if they want to. Apple, et al did not 'prevent' Rifle from being encoded. They just decided they wouldn't pick it up as an emoji for their platform, and the Unicode conference decided to move it to a different category based on that decision.

There are literally thousands of characters that Apple doesn't encode for their platforms. I haven't heard whether Apple will be supporting:

Osage, a Native American language
Nepal Bhasa, a language of Nepal
Fulani and other African languages
The Bravanese dialect of Swahili, used in Somalia
The Warsh orthography for Arabic, used in North and West Africa
Tangut, a major historic script of China

All of which were added to Unicode 9.

>The two characters will still be part of the Unicode spec, but they'll be classed as black-and-white "symbols" instead of regular emoji

I've long thought an entirely random selection "civic house" in legislative branches would be an interesting check or balance to the current interests and status quo. Make serving for legislature something like jury duty in that you just randomly might be asked to do it for a few months. In the age of internet communications you can presumably do it in such a way that the random selectees will not see much impact on their "normal lives" and jobs... in fact that could be a useful selective pressure against certain forms of politicking ("I can't listen to this filibuster all night, I have to actually work in the morning.").
It's sad, but it's also not a given that this is bad for the EU. The EU today is much too occupied with staying where they are, instead of thinking about where they're going. The leave camp offered a story of future prosperity, making things better than they were before. The remain camp's argument reduced to "things are as good as they can be, and leaving will make it worse". The remain camp's future was definitely bleaker. Maybe this vote can galvanize the EU leaders into thinking about the future, instead of narrowly focusing on maintaining the present.

What the EU needs is a story about its future identity. What should the european values be? How do we bring more of those values to the EU's citizens? In other words: how do we make the EU better for those already in it, instead of just talking about how to preserve the status quo? Unless and until the EU develops a vision for future prosperity, it will keep facing "no" votes from its citizens. People want to believe their children will be better off than themselves, and they'll vote for anyone who promises them that. Who can blame them?
Well, it's OK for a short reply on a forum.

> 10x better theorists. Of the three, Rust is the only language with world-class PL theorists on roster. This can be seen in the precise definition of the language and the depth of its technical approach

Europe's shared enemy, if you accept the concept, was the double-whammy of being ground zero for two world wars.
Why would you put someone through something as humiliating as a college education, and their final exams? Presumably you want a measure of their knowledge and capability. In my system, no one has the right to become a representative. It's a job like any other, that requires non-standard admissions procedures (namely random sampling) to avoid corruption. I'm unsure if traditions could be enshrined to make my system stable, as it doesn't have a fiction as beautiful as the people's will to justify its existence. But I do think it's worth considering.
I don't care what aeropress says about the right brewing temp (I think they claim 180° is ideal)... I find coffee to be sour if I don't brew it in my aeropress at 200°. (I make my iced coffee the same way and have been for years.)

BTW, if you want your coffee slightly sweetened, you can put a tsp of sugar into the aeropress with the grinds and press the combination over ice. Saves needing a simple syrup or having the sugar not dissolve if you put it into the iced coffee afterwards.

This is of course very similar to how vietnamese iced coffee is made. https://ineedcoffee.com/brew-vietnamese-coffee/

>that's largely why Switzerland and the Scandinavian states get accolades from U.S. politicians (not as much division.)

I have to disagree with you. I have a lot of friends in Sweden that do nothing but complain about the immigration crisis they are facing.
In fact one of my Swedish friends is here in the US now looking for a job because immigration has become such an issue in Sweden. She can name many immigrants she knows that are collecting more in welfare from the Swedish Government than what a Doctor makes... That's kinda fucked up if you ask me...
Thanks to that Broadway musical, I now have to constantly remind my kid that Alexander Hamilton was, in fact, a Federalist, mercantilist, and central banker--all three synonymous with "jerk". He was the sort of politician that had not just a punchable face, but a murderable one, and Burr was just the man who broke first.

However, without the Federalists, the US would likely be more fragmented than it is now, with its 5-12 (depending on who you ask) disparate regional cultures.

Wow, this must have been a hell of an internal fight. Glad this was the conclusion though, open platforms are the only way I can see these current solutions being useful at all. Let's just hope we don't see similar restrictions cropping up on the other side of the fence.
True story.

But look at the functional stuff. I mean how much of this is really in broad use?

Yes at the moment there seems to be a functional renaissance, but before that 90% of the programmers around the world tought of stuff like Haskell or OCaml as crazy academical experiments.
Math is already in charge of society. More math would be good for all of us
This is always true for Emoji. The platforms always decide what their presentation of emoji will look like, just as they determine what font they will use for the unicode traditional letters. In this case, Apple and others decided they didn't want a rifle emoji, so it was moved to the 'black and white symbols' section so that those platforms wouldn't be 'missing' an emoji, which has other technical implications.
Let me reiterate as you did not address anything from my comment:

Greece has done a insane amount of spending cuts, if they are not doing austerity then nobody is and almost nobody ever has.

> Otherwise, you would call every spending cut and or reductions in future growth Austerity. If your living above your means your living the high life not practicing asceticism.

Its totally false to say that Austerity is reduction in future growth. Normally decrease in the size of government leads to better growth.

You cant take the moral definition of Austerity, in economic Austerity means spending cuts and maybe some other measures to decrease debt.

My thoughts exactly. To be honest, I'll be surprised if we do actually leave the EU. Even the staunchest leavers seemed a bit worried this morning about what happens next.

In the short run, things will be bad. In the long run, nobody has any idea. It's the medium term where the real threats lie - how long it takes to leave, what terms we get from the EU, and how eager the rest of the world is to set up direct relationships with us.

I'm not going to rule out that the EU will see this as such an existential threat that they will change enough that a future government will be able to make the case for staying in after all. I know that Juncker said no to that, but today has made his position untenable as well.
