I don't live in the UK, so I don't have a memory of either condition, except indirectly.

The 'undemocratic' element, I suppose, is that the elected parliament of the EU appears to me to be its weakest component. The commission and the council seem notably more powerful and are both unelected (except quite indirectly).

Now, I don't disagree with you that free travel, trade and relocation are good things. What I don't quite understand is why it was ever necessary to have a European Union in order to achieve that. It seems to me that this could have and should have been achieved without such a heavy-handed institution.
Thank you for the recommendation. I will check it out.

Trump isn't a fascist

* He wants small gov't
* He believes in democracy
* He does not support ccontinuing costly wars and meddling in other countries affairs
* I'm not sure he's suppressed any political groups

Both sides are acting on extreme emotions these days, and on the other side of the coin, the outsiders are people who disagree with liberal policies.
Hard mode has better classmates. If your goal is truly is to learn, go where the smart people are.
I don't see it as politics. I see it as economics because that will be where the biggest impact is. I agree that HN is a bastion of sane, intelligent discourse and I've enjoyed reading "sane, intelligent" takes on Brexit from "sane, intelligent" people all over the world.
My impression is that the migrant problem developed itself especially because there was the idea that Europe has to accept migrants (which just invited them in more to a level that surpassed the capacity of individual nations).
Maybe wasn't clear, GW isn't an idiot, but closer than most leaders, I'd say. Did GW choose all those people, or were they all pretty much from the conservative cabal that got GW elected? I think things like Iraq lack of evidence due diligence and Katrina appointing super inept guy are the things that make me think GW's personal selection skills weren't great, he did have brilliant advisers as you listed.

I don't think Trump is an idiot, more of a huckster with extreme emotions, but certainly loves to pander to the idiot mentality.

Dan Quayle is really the only true idiot I can call to mind who had a major position in a US party I can recall.
Apparently smearing people who voted to leave takes little effort too.
> Is he referring here to alternative protocols from http, or to the fact that behind the single http protocol are servers written in myriad languages and styles?

My interpretation is that the design of TCP/IP (and maybe HTTP?) focuses on the behavior of the components from the perspective of how they communicate with one another, not how they behave internally. They follow the Robustness Principle: Be conservative in what you do, and liberal in what you accept from others.

> What is a metasystem? Can you provide an example? Similarly, what are 2nd level architectures?

It took me a long time to understand what this means. Basically, a metasystem is a blurring of the language and the code you write within that language. Smalltalk is an example of such a system because you can change the language itself from within the language and the environment.

There are downsides to such a system, though, including the proliferation of many fragmented, inconsistent environments. To take a deliberately ridiculous example, let's imagine Ruby was a metasystem. You write some code in your rails app that allows a third method privacy mechanism beyond public, private, and protected. Or, that you decide you want multiple inheritance in ruby.

That's powerful -- and dizzying for many people not accustomed to thinking about their languages at that level. So, what Alan is suggesting is that we erect "fences" of some kind to both allow this power in our languages but in a protected manner, so that we mitigate the risk of the fragmented world that could result. (Since you've essentially created a new "flavor" of ruby by changing its behavior.)

There is a fantastic book on this topic called "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" that I highly recommend. It guides you through building an object oriented language construct from within Common Lisp.

I don't know what he means by 2nd-level architectures, nor what he's saying about assignments being meta-level change from functions.
I'm curious, I'd like to hear more =)
I don't even know anyone personally who has expressed any favorable view of Trump. Yet clearly they exist in fairly large numbers, so I don't think that should prevent me from acknowledging them.
Clearly our prison system in the US is terrible. Of course most other countries are even worse but you'd think we would be more civilized. It's also embarrassing that the only person they were able to put in jail was a simple programmer.

Brexit good for UK FinTech
Weird and silly mismatch. Might as well write a headline saying "Sex is illegal in Texas" because the article says that it's illegal to offer up services as a prostitute.
> You are not suggesting that the UK leaving the EU will be done on UK terms only, do you?

The UK has to trigger Article 50, but the Article 50 process sets the terms (or, at least, the process by which the terms will be set), and it doesn't favor the country leaving.
I think Brexit supporters are not aware of the consequences of their vote.

UK had a pretty good deal with EU. Now, securing a trade deal similar to that of Norway will require also accepting freedom of movement, whose termination was one of the main arguments used by Brexit campaigners.

The science & tech sector is gonna get hit badly. Some of my British colleagues here in Cambridge are very upset and considering to move out. For young progressive people, it's pretty dramatic to see a big regression in your own country I guess. The Guardian is registering some of their opinions, and they are pretty heart-breaking:

http://the75percent.tumblr.com/

I imagine the finance sector, which fuels most London economy will get a big hit too.

Also, I have a hard time understanding how Brexit voters, who have a vision of a strong UK, did not factor in a more than likely split-up with Scotland after this.

Very disturbing. It seems overly easy to trick masses into acting irrationally.
A vote to leave EU is hardly a vote to destroy itself. Saying it is is blatant fear-mongering.
It seems you just feel like arguing...
The FBI Is Classifying Its Tor Browser Exploit
1. IQ tests are very good proxies for intelligence. Despite decades of ideology-based objections, the relevant fields have reached consensus that IQ does measure a general factor of intelligence, and it is a good predictor of future scholastic and career ability.

2. My system isn't an alternative to perfection, it's an alternative to democracy which is decidedly imperfect. Intelligence is likely a better proxy for pro-social attitudes than the ability to navigate political institutions and then trick a bunch of people into voting for you.

3. Again, compare this not to perfection but to what we currently have.

4. Training for IQ tests has very limited returns. But as I specified, the test will be used outside of politics, too. In fact its most common use would be by academic institutions and employers. Because of this, most people will have incentives to train to whatever extent possible. Thus the test becomes slightly less G-loaded and slightly more a test of conscientiousness, but any plan to train up a bunch of corrupt lackeys would have very poor expected value.

5. Again, compare not to perfection but to what we actually have now.
Because they're just one voting area among many. It's not as if laws and services only apply to the individuals who vote for them.
Possibly due to the fact that we can see the immediate negatives and nobody - not event he people who campaigned to leave - can honestly say they know what's going to happen in the long-term. There are things they hope will happen but there are no immediate benefits, only immediate harm.
An example I can think of is healthcare. I’ve seen plenty of dogs in Silicon Valley with better healthcare than many people on the planet. The market is allocating resources to train vets to take care of animals better than people because that’s what people with money want. It’s easily justified as a sacrifice, “I’m spending $8k on Fido’s surgery instead of putting it toward a Tesla like my neighbor.” But this really still hides the ridiculousness of the fact that an animal is receiving better care then many people. The only way to deal with this in my opinion is to enact policies that strengthen the middle class, so more people have enough money for the things that really matter and fewer people have enough money for the things that don’t.
The US has free trade agreements with a lot of South American states due to them being linked by land, but even then it wasn't a fast process. I can certainly believe that the UK isn't high on the priority list.
"some British voters are now saying" ...

Selling these for their positive health effects is terrible but amygdalin is generally considered to be safe in small quantities.

Cyanides are a common byproduct of many organic chemical reactions and biological processes. There are quite a few foods that contain trace amounts of different cyanides. Almonds, cherry seeds, apple seeds, etc contain a source of cyanide.

Bitter almond extract is used in baking, for example. It comes in a bottle that has a warning about cyanide poisoning symptoms in it.
I'm not at all surprised. I'm sure there are communities where this sort of statement would be welcomed, but the tech community is pretty strongly anti-Trump. I completely disagree with your opinion on this, but I don't think you should be put in a situation where you feel uncomfortable with people knowing your opinion.
I've eaten these as a kid on a regular basis (we had lots of apricots where I'm from) and distinctly remember my parents not allowing to eat more than 3.

P.S.: Amygdalin being a vitamin is bullshit, but they're pretty tasty regardless.
> less educated
> Fear, hate and ignorance won

Sorry, but sour-grape bullshit.

There was pro-leave bullshit, but there was also pro-remain bullshit. Characterising anyone who disagrees with your position as ignorant, or less educated is the height of arrogance.

If you have so many pro-EU friends, it sounds as if you live in a bubble. You need to get out more. It is very depressing.
Clearly you haven't been paying attention
> * I rather Clinton lose than Trump lose, due to her preference for fighting wars*

Trump publicly stated his support for the Iraq war during an interview in 2002. He's since backpedaled claiming that he was against it "before it started" but all indications are that he was, at most, neutral on the war before it started (being against the war after it starts is kind of irrelevant).

> A lot of anti-Trump people accuse Trump supporters of bigotry and exclusion, but I think that's projection on their part.

A lot of Trump supporters are really good at ignoring the obvious terrible things about Trump and his campaign and latching onto the one or two things they like about him. You can't honestly claim that there is no bigotry or exclusion in Trump's campaigning. He's called for a ban on Muslims entering the country. He's called for building a huge wall along the Mexican border and deporting 11 million immigrants. Plus, you know, the "rapists and murderers" comment about Mexicans entering the US.

If you think that Trump is the better candidate in spite of his obvious shortcomings, you should have the honesty to say so, rather than pretend his shortcomings aren't real.
I agree with you, I hate seeing comments that are dismissive of those who actually have some experience under their belts and some personal history. You'd think that people who were living and capable of remembering a pre-EU UK would have a better perspective on this particular issue.

My personal opinion is that voting age is too young in most countries. It should be upped to 30.

Europe once had free cities. Why not again?
The problem with England / Britain / UK is representation. Every time we make any big political decision 50% of the electorate is marginalised and ignored for 5 years. We need a better system, one where representation is proportional.
> If the UK spends the next 15 years making trouble in the EU, blocking a Brexit agreement

If they don't trigger Article 50, they have exactly the same role in the EU as if they never chose to leave (except that they lose the special concessions that they just got approved which were contingent on a "Remain" result in the referendum, which, AFAICT, is the only actual legal effect of referendum.)

Once they trigger Article 50, they are out in 2 years (barring an agreement to extend the process.) The only purpose of an exit agreement is to provide an alternative to the default exit terms, which would, e.g., leave trade relations between Britain and the EU reverting to WTO rules.
Although I disagree with you, I agree with your sentiment. Even smart people become silly when it comes to politics. I wish HN had a tagging/sub system where I could opt out of certain topics.
It sounds like Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. Various corporations and residential enclaves carve out tiny sovereign chunks of the landscape and negotiate trade and travel between themselves.

If you are implying shops take formerly hot coffee and reuse it as 'cold-brew', you are incorrect.

If you are implying shops repurpose old beans and use them to make cold-brew, then you are correct.

I can't speak for all coffee shops, but for 'specialty' places the above statements are always true.

> Taste wise, it's completely subjective

True, but the taste profiles are objectively different.

Grilled chicken vs roast chicken. Which one is better? Subjective. Do they taste different? Objective.

That being said, I am going to try this aeropressing onto an ice cube method.

The referendum is advisory and not binding.

I think this particular Golem has too much momentum now to simply decline the advice of the electorate, however it did occur to me that Cameron's 3 month delay in applying Section 50 would allow the attention of the public to be distracted to some extent.
As a European, I don't find US media a good measuring stick.
You guys got your politics thread, can we drop it now?
This is why you have republics. Even moreso when you can get the people to elect representatives based on familiarity and quality rather than propaganda.

Someone whose job it is to run the country should be much more informed than people who only make political decisions once every couple years for major policy decisions involving the whole country with ride ranging ramifications.

I think its the same argument communists make - that the USSR, China, Cuba, etc have all been failed states that never were what Marx and Lenin intended, and they devolved into totalitarian dictatorships rather than becoming the socialist paradise the ideological founders wanted.

In the context of republics, a similar argument stands. We should have representatives with empathic relations with their constituents going both ways - the people should be picking the best amongst themselves to rule, but most existent democracies have devolved into elites picking the leaders and voters having no relations whatsoever with their own leadership, which was supposed to be the entire point.
Calling the American healthcare system "free-market" is disingenuous at worse and hilarious at best.

You're right - on the literal level. BUT parent said: "It is just one other indicator of the flaws of the free market approach to everything in the US" - and if their statement is interpreted as implying - "the flaws in what's called the free market approach" then the rest of their statement stands.

The health care system is a good example of the profit-driven, marketized-through-regulation, financial-speculation driven system.

And the thing is that no amount of praise of the literal free market is going to change these market-regulated-industry-fusions into free market. I mean, it's a standard approach for functionaries to praise the free market then jump to whatever gawd-awful financialization serves those functionaries' backers.

I mean, "just let them die" is usually an option for seriously ill pets. Generally society frowns on this fashion of treating humans. So "everyone" agrees some compromise is necessary in human health care - but naturally one then wakes to find the latest compromise is a cleverly constructed worst-of-all-possible-world except for X many large interests (education, healthcare, prisons etc).
There's a big difference between "reform" and "tear down." I'm specifically referring to people who say they want the second. I can understand, if not agree with, people who want to elect Trump so he can reform the system. I think people who want to elect Trump to tear the system down don't understand what that means.

> "It will probably also have to allow in EU exports which could threaten parts of their economy."

Of course they'll have to let in EU exports, just like the EU will have to let in UK exports. Why? They're all members of the World Trade Organisation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Organization

The EU is set up to allow the member countries to cooperate more closely, through lower trade barriers and suchlike. The idea that leaving the EU means zero trade is absurd.
>>The "will of the people" won over the will of the ruling structure. Most politicians and the main parties (especially before the opportunists jumped in) were against leaving. So was the financial sector and most big businesses.

If you want to do X, just because people you hate don't like to do X is really a very wrong way to be making decisions about anything.

In general this sort of behaviour doesn't lead to a good ending.

Is the UK just one area in the EU? Their decision affected the US economy. Should the US get to vote about whether they stay? That's GP's point.
It's worth noting that the entire context of this discussion about democracy is an article that could be an effort by the Post (an arm of the neocon establishment) and Google (ditto) to spin a perfectly legitimate albeit narrowly-decided exercise of self-determination as a catastrophic blunder by idiots.

Actually, I don't think it will. I can't see Scotland winning a referendum in the short run given the price of oil. The EU is unlikely to accept Scotland as member states won't want to encourage their own secessionist regions.

That said, all predictions about the future right now should be taken with a pinch of salt. Nobody predicted this result, and nobpdy has a clue what comes next.
Remaining in the EU is bad, but remaining in the UK would be good. Alright.
