No, not the time to relax. This is is the time to worry, to worry big. Nigel Farage (UKIP - United Kingdom Independence Party) said that he hopes this will be the first brick removed from the wall that is the EU, and the rest will follow and crumble because of it. He hopes this will be the end of the EU (paraphrased from memory, saw it on TV during the live coverage). Only his opinion, but not unthinkable. United Kingdom might break up too - Scotland preparing legislation for a second referendum whether to be part of the United Kingdom already.

Front National congratulated, Geert Wilders (PVV, Netherlands) thinks the Netherlands should have such a referendum too, and the PVV was elected 3rd strongest party in the elections 2012 and is currently ahead in many polls (next election before April 2017).

Just a thought: ISIS is not stupid, if they are able to strategically make another terrorist attack months ahead of the French elections, what party will that help? The Front National does have a chance of winning, even if for now it seems unlikely, but hey, who would have thought Trump could win the the Republican nomination half a year ago?!

Anti-Islam sentiment will result in more people fighting for ISIS, re-nationalisation will make the War on Terror less organized, focus will shift from fighting smart and doing so heads on to isolation and protectionism.

Alternative für Deutschland (AFD) in Germany, anti-EU sentiment from the CSU (sister party of the CDU (Merkel's party) in Bavaria), Austria came close to electing an anti-European right-wing president... The PVV (Partij voor de Vrijheid - Party for Freedom) in the Netherlands, and in countries where the EU-hate is not coming from the right side, it often comes from the left.

The sentiment for Re-nationalisation is a widespread phenomenon.

We can discuss all we want about how the EU failed, but to say Britain in this case is not an important example of what can happen in other European countries is naive... I don't want to paint the devil onto the wall, but look in history how often times "we stumbled into war"[1] - I don't think we are there yet, just to make my point - never underestimate what can happen and looking at all the facts, we have all the reasons in the world to (at the very least) worry.

I agree. This is exactly the interpretation one would have if they didn't read the article...
Which rules are you talking about?

In terms of being a political union, the EU doesn’t even do that much. It does do some things, but those things tend to be overall small and also relatively uncontroversial.

The bulk of the work the EU does in “creating” rules in unifying regulations. For the common market to exist (i.e. to drive economic unification) you need unified regulation. Otherwise trade barriers would exist.

That means you have to write lots and lots of deadly boring regulation. And that’s what the EU did. Yawn. All a very technocratic process.

(I’m also not sure why you think people in Brussels are unaccountable. That’s such a cliché propaganda line with no basis in reality at all.)
It still does in the real world.
I can tell stories about programming things like this.

It is not as easy as you might think.

Here is how we used to do it:

1. Draw a flow chart on paper

2. Translate the flow-chart to assembly source.

3. Keeping the processor data-sheet in your left hand, hand-translate assembly code into opcodes, by hand. Compute relative jumps by hand. Do not use a compiler. Be the compiler.

4. Now that you have your opcodes, get your board.

4.1 Set the starting address (it was 1800_h for me)

4.2 input opcode (two hex numbers, one byte)

4.1 increment address (the '+' key is for that)

4.3 if finished goto 5

4.4 goto 4.2

5. set address back to starting point (like 1800_h)

6. Run your code! (press 'go')

Now... 60% of the times, it fails every time. But I miss doing this kind of exercise :)
I'm trying to read the docs and understand how nix works. It seems really fantastic but at the same time so radically different that it seems like it would collide with a lot of built in assumptions of Linux development.

For example, does nix play nice with CMake or config files? ie. I can just point them at the packages in /nix/ and it'll work?

Or for example, I often find myself wanting to have a few different version of OpenCV around (with different build flags) - but all version 3.0. Nix seems to make a new hash/folder when the dependencies change. Can you make make a new build/folder when the dependencies stay the same? (or specify to NOT make a new folder and to overwrite the previous compiled version - ex: you fix a bug)

I have a ton of overlapping dependencies between contracts and projects and this would be a cool tool to keep it all organized (right now in my workflow each project/contract would have it's own copy of OpenCV.. which is a bit of a mess)

(I'm totally cheering for this - hope it becomes mainstream, just wondering how "prime-time" is it)
not voting for Bernie

(Although there is no shortage of people who will say that Bernie voters were privileged and racist for their condescension toward the black vote too. The fact that you can include or omit the "not", and people don't notice, kinda underscores the point.)
> open immigration was one of the main factors here. Something the "stay in the EU" supporters didn't really seem to address beyond "if you're against the free movement of people in Europe you're a racist".

Remain addressed it like this: Since the 'leave' side still want to be in the single market, they must also keep the free movement of labour, which is a prerequisite of the market.

Sorry, I misread! Depressingly enough people calling you racist for it remains believable.
Globalism can't swing back full force because it was driven primarily by advances in technology that are not going to go away. The Internet is not going to disappear. Airplanes and ships and telephone lines and satellites are not going to disappear. From the human perspective, the world has shrunk permanently.

What we are seeing now is the backlash to that from an aging generation. I don't mean to be dismissive; their fears are real and legitimate from their perspective. But that perspective won't last forever. The vote pattern in Brexit was clear--young people, who have only ever known a small world, voted for the EU.

The next decade or two will be volatile (what decade isn't, really?). But globalism is here to stay.

It's far more real than national boundaries, BTW. This globe is humanity's only home, and it's up to us now to manage it. At some point we will grow as a species into accepting that.
If you are getting paid 10¥ and your neighbor is making £10 then yes, the yen is comparatively worthless as a wage.

Money does work like that when you are talking about an actual comparable wage. The pound and euro are much more comparable because you could get the same job for the same number, just in a currency that is worth more so you can send some back to your home country.(like many Immigrants do in many host countries)

Switzerland is also a continental country, you can literally walk to it if you were so inclined from any of the EU nations (except the UK and Republic of Ireland) and not spend a penny to get there.

It is mainly common sense vs what people feel is right, really.
In a related way, I was almost pathologically shy as a teenager, and even into my college years. What may have helped me break out of my shell was becoming a performing jazz musician, and discovering that I could make glaring mistakes with practically no consequences. I also did a bunch of teaching.

Today, I'm capable of, and enjoy, stereotypically introverted activities such as math and programming, and those things have helped me advance my career, but I don't need them as an escape from society.

When asked, I tell people that I'm mildly extroverted. My main reason is simply that there's a stigma against introverts in our society.
This is nonsense. There are many, many regulations are driven by trade. There is no effective way to perfectly separate the economic from the political. People need to get a long and agree on many matters in order to trade. Getting people in line is politics, trade is economics, but they are two sides of the same process.

This seems like a good idea to me, provided you only need to fire the engine once (which, admittedly, is normal for the first stage). Given the amount of trouble rocket companies have had with igniters over the years a match seems like just the ticket.
Have you read a book called Code by Charles Petzold [0] by chance? It walks you through how a computer works from low level relays all the way up to building a processor and running an OS. He talks about both the Z80 and 6502, and peppers in a lot of the history along the way. The book has me really itching to play around with one of the two and it sound like the Z80 might be the way to go.

Why do my neighbor and I happen to make the same numeric value per hour? I live in the US, so I drink a gallon of water a day. If I move to France, does that mean I should cut back to 1 liter per day?
Hot-Mess Habits – Socially Approved by Summer
Too soon to tell.

Sure, a few countries will try to follow suit and try to leave the EU but imagine a future when, in a couple of years, Britain's economy has dropped below #10, unemployment is at an all time low, the deficit has ballooned, etc...

What do you think EU members will think by then? They will certainly want to stick around.

The bottom line is that the current decision was made by voters who are swayed by immigration and talking points from crafty politicians but who have little understanding of how global economy works.

Let's see what the situation is in 2018.
The UK already secured an opt-out from EU refugee resettlement, so if that was the objection, wasn't it already solved?
It's only stupid for companies to be conglomerated from the perspective of those outside it, but it's to the interest of every entity to hold monopolyish power and bully the small. The rest of the nation or world may feel that monopolies, cartels, and conglomerates lead to more harm than good, but I think it's locally rational for power and money to concentrate into a few decision-makers.
I've been hearing this type of complaints recently.

And it is funny how it sounds like a call for political correctness. From a point of the political spectrum that usually despises it.
Let's Encryption updated their blog post:

"Update, June 24 2016

We have confirmed that Comodo submitted Requests for Express Abandonment for all three trademark registration applications in question. We’re happy to see this positive step towards resolution, and will continue to monitor the requests as they make their way through the system.

We’d like to thank our community for their support."
> But they can take fingerprints

We've had a rash of car break-ins in my neighborhood. My roomate had a large metal ball hucked through his car window, and when the police called, the dude refused to bag it for evidence, take it with him, fingerprint it, or anything. I'd say to consider yourself lucky if your local beat police give a damn about collecting evidence of a crime that's not drugs, violence, or human trafficking.

EDIT: Just remembered, instead, he picked up the metal ball and started tossing it around, from hand to hand, into the air, etc. All casual like - as if it were a toy. Callous disregard for his job and totally destroyed the evidence.
I've had similar experiences. In one example, an uninsured driver backed up into my car as we were leaving a gas station. The driver was obviously intoxicated (seemed like high on marijuana, the smell was quite strong). I asked for their insurance, they said they had none, and said "please don't call the police". They then got back in and drove away. At this point, the station attendant comes out and says that he has video cameras and the tape and that he saw what happened and would do whatever he could to help. I called the police and all they cared about was "was anyone injured? No? Then we're not coming out. You can come here and file a police report if you want." They honestly didn't care about a hit-and-run with an uninsured driver who very likely had drugs on them. I filed a police report and got the damage looked at, and it was less than my deductible to repair, so I just ate it. Nothing ever happened with the police report. It also annoys me that this happened in my home town where the police absolutely love to sit at freeway exits where the service drive lane has a stop sign instead of a yield sign and write tickets all day for people rolling the stop signs, so I very much doubt that they have anything better to do, they just seem super lazy.
That's a big deal, but there could and should be free trade and labor mobility between countries whether or not those countries are part of the EU or a similar organization. It is almost guaranteed to be good for any pair of countries.
We need a business model that makes sense for Open Source developers. Likely pinned to a blockchain for deployments, service updates, support, etc.
This is just self-serving rationalization for never doing anything. If you find a skimmer, call the cops. Even a dumb cop is not going to think you called them to remove and investigate your own skimmer.
At some point in the past (maybe when they were purchased by ACE?), Zero Halliburton decided to decrease the maximum stress their joints were designed to handle. These days, it's very easy to break a ZH case compared to a pelican, especially when open. Most ZH bags aren't watertight either.

ZH is aesthetically superior to Pelican in my opinion, but I trust pelican more to keep my gear safe and dry.

Fuck off. Seriously, fuck off.

Who the hell are you to tell hackers how to run their lives.

As a hacker I respect other people and their property.

But if they are illegally scamming me, then I, like OP have a right to dig further.

There is no fucking implied due diligence to work with police.

And as non-lawyer as you say you are not, this is not against the law, were the hell did that come from?

I find the post so offensive as a hacker. You might want to live in a 'safe space' run by the police. But I do not and refuse to be part of that. Should I ever find a ATM skimmer I will do with that as I chose. I refuse to be dictated to. I WILL explore the world around me.
“Godless” apps, some found in Google Play, can root 90% of Android phones
Sounds like a good course of action for getting the appropriate attention on the issue (the bank obviously doesn't want their customers getting robbed electronically) without wasting your own time dealing with police or putting yourself at risk of them thinking you did it. How did you find the branch manager?
This is a failure of media coverage and attention, not the EU.

And the people who were representing them are, well, mostly still David Cameron. One of the sad things about the EU is that it could never completely shake this thing many supranational organizations have, i.e. that the top-dogs are the heads of the respective member-state governments (and maybe their ministers if it’s about more narrow areas of expertise). Without them nothing can happen. They are still centrally important and involved everywhere and most everything that’s decided is done with consensus and not majority rule.

The people implementing the details are truly not that important. Do you know (many) people below the minister level in your country? It’s not relevant.

People I can think of in the EU off the top of my head: Jean-Claude Junker, president of the commission. Martin Schulz, president of the parliament. Julia Reda, cool European MP from Germany. Beatrix von Storch, racist European MP from Germany. Martin Sonneborn, European MP from Germany, member of a satirical joke party.
If you were correct, it would never make sense to do a spin-off or to outsource anything. Agility gets lost when a company goes large, and its internal structure changes. Your views are typical for someone who looks at companies as a black box without considering their internal structure.
If I use the same AES key to encrypt two messages my communications are still mostly secure. Specifically, there's no known way to recover the key and attack all my other messages.

Versus if I use the same OTP twice my security is automatically shot and any other communication with the OTP is now also as good as leaked. Worse, context can then let much more of the key material be leaked than just the shared portion.

Even if used correctly, you've first got to create the OTP. Any mistake in generating your OTP means you can have a predictable pad and not know it. If you're trying to gather strong entropy you can know your lava lamps (/ geiger counter / etc) sources are random and be brought down by a bad camera driver.

Also, any methods to strengthen your OTP (ie, hash multiple streams together) are the very tools that you're avoiding by using an OTP. If you trust them you should just use them.
Wow, that web page is completely unusable on my computer. I'm scrolling at less than 1 FPS.
While I, and probably who you are replying too, agree with you, it simply does not work that way. An easy way to see it is look at the price of computer components in USD and GBP or euro. You will see many with the same or very similar numerical values despite the fact that that the US is drastically cheaper considering the actual currency values

That's John Milton's Paradise Lost, from the point of view of Lucifer:

Farewell happy Fields

Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrours, hail

Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell

Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings

A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time.

The mind is its own place, and in it self

Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.

I am sympathetic to Lucifer's point of view.

>They don't want to deal with change

Brexit is a pretty massive governance change. Everyone blames old people for its success, so I'm not sure why the narrative is that "old people won't vote for changes". I think it's less that older people are hostile to change as much as they've seen enough political opportunists and fraudsters that they have some firmness to their opinion (and again, this is a good thing). As Brexit shows, older people often do support changes that they believe would be beneficial.

I know that my dad, for example, would really like to see some stuff change, even though he's a senior citizen. But he's not excited by Bernie Sanders.

>for example, keep in mind that the internet is only 20 years old, as far as the public is concerned.

I am 1000% behind the idea of changing the laws that govern intellectual property and internet access, but this is not an issue that's age-dependent. Few people in any age strata care or think about this because if their news sources have any vested interest, it's in keeping IP laws locked down as tightly as possible. You'll find near-universal praise for copyright among every age group, because the public is presented only one side of the copyright debate. Laws expanding IP rights and locking down tech access routinely pass with minimal debate or interest. The exception to this is the hacker subculture, where it's not really an age-dependent thing either. Some older persons involved in certain niche businesses may remember slightly-less-oppressive copyright regimes and want to go back to that.

>Cut off the young, and you take away the meat of the progressives, and your society will stagnate.

This is everyone else's complaint too, but it's begging the question. "Progressiveness" is not inherently correct. Social insistence on certain behavioral standards is good. We don't want to "progress" out of all of our values.

>And if you want evidence that the old are just as susceptible to stupid politics, look to Fox News's target audience: the silver hair brigade. Or talkback radio.

I know a lot of young people who are into Fox News and conservative talk radio. People consciously pick the news outlets that agree with them most often because it's more pleasant to listen to someone encourage your beliefs than discourage them. Conservative media is not specifically targeted at old people; it's targeted at all conservatives.

The value of currency is not a measure of the value of the economy. CAD has lost 35% versus the dollar since 2011. But the Canadian economy has grown slightly more (in relative terms) than the US over that period.
When I lived in Deutschland, I would almost always shop on Amazon.com in lieu of shopping at Amazon.de (Amazon.co.uk is even more heinous), because the numerical value is almost always the exact same with a different sign and my Euro paycheck would go much further. With prime, shipping was free albeit it would take longer to get to me.

Maybe that analogy will help.
