And if you do store your guns appropriately, you won't have time to get them in a self defense situation.

Simply not true: https://www.google.com/#q=push+button+gun+safe (Americans are problem solvers, after all; you can also use one with a key and keep that on your person, say, on a string around your neck; this is also what hardening your entrances etc. is about, to give you time to react).

And "appropriately" is really situation specific; I haven't lived in a situation where there was danger of another abusing one of my guns for decades. There's also the pattern of keeping it in your safe until you get home (and if you're really hard core, carrying it until you go to bed). And you're completely ignoring concealed carry, which covers 42+ of the states and ~72% of the US population, 12+ million licensees, and 10 states without a license requirement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11980298

And that's before we even get into the "much more likely", which simply isn't supported by the facts, starting with a 25% drop in the number of fatal gun accidents per year in the period 1980 to now, while both the population and number of guns owned by it roughly increased by 50%.

Note that if you're depending on e.g. Kellerman's studies, they score only fatal outcomes for home intruders as successful defensive gun uses, when the majority don't involve any shots being fired, the vast majority don't involve anyone getting hit by a round, and pistol torso hits resulting in fatality only about 1/4 of the time. Even the biased CDC admits to the utility of guns: https://www.google.com/#q=%E2%80%9CSelf-defense+can+be+an+im...

I ran a named entity extractor on the following URL

http://computationalimagination.com/article_empirical_questi...

The opening of this article has several entities that are easy for a human to parse out and the Summarizer did OK but still well behind a human.

"That's an empirical question! I was walking down Church Street toward Coffman Union on the U of Minnesota campus, shooting the breeze and arguing with a fellow grad student when I first heard those words from Bill. Bill [William D. Wells] had recently been lured out of semi-retirement from the advertising agency DDB Needham and back into academia."

Intellexer missed the common U as a sign for University particularly when followed by "of" and either another capital letter such as "U of M" or as in the case above "U of Minnesota" the name of a place.

It did capture Coffman Union, Minnesota and Church Street as locations. Which is technically correct but because it didn't recognized U of Minnesota campus as a broader location it cannot place Coffman Union and Church Street as sub locations within a larger entity.

The "Clusterizer" identified some reasonable clusters, really more like a list of important key words.

The "Summarizer" which seems to just try to find the best summary sentences from within the text and present them was a very mixed bag. Of the 10 sentences it picked 6 were good and 4 were clear misses in terms of picking out good summary sentences.

Overall not bad. But also not surprisingly good. For comparison - I used this same article as a test of the IBM Watson NLP API for entity extraction a few months ago and Intellexer did a little bit better.
The UK is a major market for EU countries, and Merkel understands this better than Juncker. This is not a case of English xenophones vs enlightened Europeans.
Ask the average Greek person as to what they think about the EU.
The UK has decided to disconnect from the EU Project because it is failing.
Instead, the UK has been connecting with other growing economies outside the EU.
It is a tough decision, but in the long term it is the right one, both for the UK and for the people of Europe.

Please, everyone, stop forcing HomeBrew as a dependency.

HomeBrew screws with your systems file permissions and installs directly into the standard system directories.

MacPorts (https://www.macports.org/) is at least a good, and it installs into the /opt tree, staying out of the way of anything Apple or Darwin wants to do when updating or patching your system.

Don't like MacPorts? There's always Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/), which installs into /sw and looks like Debian (i.e. apt-get).

HomeBrew seems like the worst of the three. :-(
Speaking of which, isn't it about damn time UK got its own Constitution?
>When thinking about these kind of problems I really wished we had some good -and publicly available- tools for simulating the world. While the predictions made by such a model would be most certainly wrong in most cases (the system is just too complex to be simulated reliably), it would allow us to narrow down the number of possible outcomes of a given political situation.

Actually it wouldn't. The world is more chaos theory than determinism in political scales.
If there is still a trade agreement between the UK and the EU, then lots of things in the UK will still be controlled by the EU, as the EU is larger and will make the trade rules. (Also, the EU is quite bureaucratic and thus not so flexible, so it will not be very willing to make a special agreement with the UK. It's EEA, Canada-style, WTO-style, or nothing.)

If you don't want the EU controlling any aspect of the UK, you can't have a trade agreement.
Amazing how every rich expat who hates FATCA attempts to complain that it goes after "middle class Americans". How convenient if FATCA were repealed and the good old days of Tax Evasion could resume.

It is precisely rich expats who have themselves to blame for FATCA.

If you find the paperwork onerous--why not just renounce your citizenship? Must be that you get some advantages you're not disclosing by keeping your US citizenship.

Every American who does their taxes has to deal with this stress. So, you're special and should get your US citizenship advantages without paying for them? You looking for expat welfare?

FATCA will never be repealed. On the contrary, it's being copied by other governments all over the world. But you had to have known that the tax evasion party was going to eventually come to an end. If you consider yourself a victim of FATCA, then your anger should be directed at other rich expats who abused the system so badly that they inspired Congress to pass FATCA with both Democratic and Republican support.
Trade wars/tariffs go unmentioned, yet they are probably the most important single issue for emerging markets. To the extent that brexit nurtures a reversal of global integration (and Donald Trump's "America first" platform portends the same risk), emerging markets will suffer tremendously. Wage competition first, and immigration second, are the most issues for those seeking reactionary Trump and Brexit solutions, and the target is squarely emerging markets. One needs only look at how the past 25 years of global integration has helped EM, to see the converse potential outcomes.

A related issue is capital flow restrictions, and these are arguably even easier to put into force. Brexit is a major defeat for liberal "anglo saxon" free market policies, and there are many in the world who do not buy into them, including in the EU itself. Current account deficit countries such as Turkey and South Africa are heavily exposed, as is the dollar. This last point makes it unclear that the dollar is the obvious long term safe haven. Indeed Friday's Yen price action shows that currency as being potentially the most obvious candidate for a big rally, along with gold. The latter is particularly well placed if the G7 central banks, in full panic mode, begin to implement large further slugs of QE or negative interest rate policies.

Often decisions are better left to experts, something that representative democracy usually achieves. I also think that we should explain representative democracy as the population being able to hold the people in power accountable instead of the people deciding things. So democracy might even be a misnomer. This result is exactly what opponents of democracy meant when they identified it with tyranny of the masses.

So, you want to ride in the wagon and have other domestic Americans pull the wagon? Do you think the whole consular system is just on ice until you need it? Boy wouldn't it be nice if none of us had to pay taxes--while still having the entire expensive governmental infrastructure on ice--ready for us?

Unfortunately, in the real world, if you want to benefit from something you need to shoulder its true cost. $50 a year won't cover that.
Because in some cases they are.

Many banks (I work for one of them) follow reasonable best practices, allow or require strong passwords, store them safely and require sensible second security factors. Others are decades behind in security, using nonsensical security schemes like the ones morgante and mng2 described above or requiring your password to be letters and numbers only between 6 to 8 characters.

If you care about security, stick with the banks who do as well. Make sure their password guidelines are in order, go with the ones that make you use a second factor, and if you ever see any hints they're storing your password in plain text, run.

Nonsense. FATCA was started by the US but now the OECD and many, many other countries around the world are copying it--as they should.

Earlier, banks were more than willing to support the tax evasions of Americans. But in case you were living in a cave, the last few years have seen those tax-evasion-enabling international banks fall one by one, admitting they enabled tax evasion and paying massive fines. So, the banks don't want Americans because they know so frequently those Americans are practicing tax evasion. They were burned and never again want to enable tax evasion. Rightly so.
Stop Using Google Trends
Not so sure city services are considerably lower for a tourist than a resident. If I look to my residential usage or tourist usage, I'd venture I'm about equal, taking into account things like safety, infrastructure, city governmental services etc, if divided up by time. I'm not sure what kind of city services I'm missing that I'm suddenly not using as a tourist but am as a resident? The couple small ones are easily equaled or even outnumbered (ratio-wise) by tourist offices and other services only there for tourists.

Voting and the monopoly of violence has never occurred to me that concretely, it's an interesting viewpoint. Of course the same perspective occurs directly when I become a tourist in the 'tourists' city. The 'Tourist' isn't some vague entity or a non-resident anywhere (generally) but also someone who uses their control of the monopoly on violence.

Turning it around, how do you propose 'tourists' get equal rights?
If you want a trade agreement with the EU then yes it will govern aspects of people's lives in the UK because the majority of EU laws are trade regulations.
Sure they can. You can use server side languages like Clojure, Erlang, Elixir, F# and a few others I'm sure I'm missing.

There also exist libraries for some languages that introduce immutable data structures, like pysistance for Python.
You can just do

class B;
class A {
B* _b;
};

and it'll be happy.
Good thinking but beware of what a CPU "is". I've just came back from intel.com boards and .. holy jesus, amount of details even memory locality level thinking ignores .. To leverage a processor you need to understand OS cache conventions and interaction with L1 and L2 caches and how these caches are wired to the actual core. Otherwise you're already losing 30% of the raw bandwidth.

I left with a strong laziness view on optimization. Profile based on what the business needs and ignore everything else or you will never escape the rabbit hole.
EU is an amorphous blob that has no accountability to [its] actions

Neither has the House Of Lords. Do your friends know of the existence of the EC Transparency Portal?

"As a European citizen, you have a right to know how the European institutions are preparing these decisions, who participates in preparing them, who receives funding from the EU budget, and what documents are held or produced to prepare and adopt the legal acts. You also have a right to access those documents, and make your views known, either directly, or indirectly, through intermediaries that represent you.

This webpage is designed to be your window on this world, giving you direct access to information that will help you to be better informed and better prepared to follow and participate in the EU decision-making process, to enjoy your rights and to play your role as a European citizen to the full."

http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/index_en.htm

EU is redundant

There is no other supranational committee that has been able to harmonize so many different national laws. You can argue that its goals are undesirable, but not that there's a different entity that achieves the same goals on the same scope.

The VAT that is set by the EU is antithetical to good trade deals

VAT is not set by EU policy. The policy only sets minimum VAT percentages of 5 and 15 percent, and no maximum. The UK VAT rate is 20%, well above what the EU requires.

Sending any amount of money to an organization you do not support is out of the question

Taking that argument at face value, does that mean that citizens should not pay tax if the party they voted for does not win the election?

Undemocratic (Unelected officials draft the laws, people from other countries vote on things that directly effect you)

Most UK laws are also drafted by unelected officials, that's what ministerial departments are for. And you can't have it both ways: either it is undemocratic and people can't vote for it, or it is democratic and people do vote directly.

The EU is making a push to blur country boarders to the best of it's efforts

What push? Open borders was one of the founding principles of the union, so that is neither surprising nor a covert agenda.

The migrant crisis' effects on the UK are a byproduct of how the EU operates

The migrants themselves are a byproduct of failed (and failing) supranational intervention in the Middle East, Libya, Somalia, and other parts of the world. Why not blame the US, UK and UN for those?
That is nice and all, but the scenario we are talking about is a db compromise, in which case any rate-limiting is circumvented.
>, it would allow us to narrow down the number of possible outcomes of a given political situation. ... , it would be hugely beneficial to have something like that for the general public to use though.

I know it sounds cynical but I don't think such a simulation tool would make any difference to convince the general public.

As a thought experiment, imagine if we had a computer simulation in the spirit of Conway's Game of Life[1] or Schelling's Segregation Model[2] to simulate the spread of viruses and breakdown of herd immunity when you have anti-vaccination parents. Showing that "evidence" to anti-vaxxers isn't going to change their minds because they distrust the "government" and "scientists". (E.g. "And who created that simulation?!? The government scientists who want to make our kids autistic!")

Same situation with Brexit. The big multinational companies favor the EU but the "little guy" sees his job getting threatened by immigrants. Asking everyday people to be scientific and weigh the "big picture" instead of being emotional about their immediate livelihoods isn't realistic.

> A particular irritant is that most (all?) db APIs make it impossible to use parametrized queries with IN clauses

Psycopg2 has a generic adaptation of iterables to a form suitable for IN, but it's hand-rolled: https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/blob/732ea90a4ff85f6d0cc...

In Germany we have a variant that has five photo diodes along one edge. You hold it against a flickering pattern on your screen. This works reasonably well. In my experience it is about equally fast as typing, just a little less reliable.

We have one something even better and, in particular, more universal, trustworthy, and verifiable: prediction markets.

Unfortunately, they are generally illegal in the US.
It doesn't. Today's banking malware will capture the form values on submit, either as text or as a screenshot. And it will do so, silently, every time you log in.

All this scheme does is limit an attacker to gathering three letters per login attempt. Given an eight-letter password, three logins will probably disclose most of it; or at least enough for an attacker to pass the challenge when he tries to log in.

In addition, if the attacker is actually interested in your data, he can easily inject a fake "wrong password" message after your first attempt and have you try again, gathering 6 characters per login.
So they attacker just has to run the keylogger for enough time...
I imagine he/she is referring to how most "security questions" use info that we typically don't hesitate to give out in casual conversation, even with total strangers.
Considering that British democracy has been using 1984 as a manual for a few years now and this referendum was more mob rule than a case study in direct democracy I would say it's actually the opposite.

Democracy isn't about the majority forcing their will on minorities it's also not about a shifting slim majority blocking everything for the other side just because they can.
> From what I've read, the generated query plan is equivalent.

I believe at one point IN (values) was just sugar for = ANY(ARRAY(values)), don't know if that's still the case.

Still requires that your DB adapter supports array parameters though.
I find many people are extremely negative about Brexit.

I didn't recommend Brexit but when I hear people describe it like an unavoidable catastrophe I think it might be good to remind you that this is just what Norwegian politicians told the public before the 1994 EU referendum.

Turns out they were wrong: Norwegians are very happy outside EU.
It depends on where you are. I've had excellent experience with the few times I've called, in Arapahoe and Jefferson Counties, Colorado.

I had an outright "please come right away" emergency with my kid, and an ambulance came right away.

I've called about suspicious activity in the neighborhood, and the sheriff came right away.

I even called because someone stole the registration tag from my car and taped it on their car (a neighbor living in the same apartment building) and they showed up, not at emergency speed but way before I would have been pissed.

The ambulance is part of the fire department here (and often it's a firetruck that shows up before the ambulance, all the same people). And we're not nuts like Chicago apparently is.

EDIT:

> Be prepared to take care of yourself.

I agree with that 100%.
> I agree that there is a linear correlation between carbs and anxiety.

That's a rather specific thing to agree about.
You move towards the picture you create.

This sort of crazy hyperbole is why many people are scared. The UK will be fine. We are members of the top international groups, NATO, G7 etc.
