This really is a key point. The UK contributed a net of something like 140m pounds a week or so to the EU, that's about 7b pounds on a 1.8 trillion pound economy, or a small (0.3%) fraction or so of the GDP. For that they got 10% or so of the votes in all European affairs, and access to a market (50% of UK exports are to the EU) under favourable trade agreements, which are easily worth 0.3% of GDP in and of itself.

Now the UK will not contribute 0.3% of its GDP, lose some of its favourable deals that far exceed 0.3% of GDP, and lose the 10% vote in EU affairs, yet will be subjected to those affairs as part of the inevitable effort of negotiating to keep many (though impossibly all) of the benefits the UK now has as a member.

That's not independence, really. That's losing 10% influence in a union which you'll still be trading and working with, and who will still be subjecting you to lots of requirements under this new partnership, which you'll have a reduced say in.

Unless the UK actually wants to be independent in the semantic sense of isolationism, i.e. not deal with the EU at all anymore. Yes, then you'd have independence, and you'd also have a country that'll be completely wrecked, for the same principles that a broad boycott (e.g. Cuba for many decades, North Korea, Iraq during some of its harshest years etc) is so devastating, because interconnectedness is extremely valuable. That interconnectedness will still be sought for by the UK, but now it can't vote and is at the mercy of the largest economy in the world. Obviously the UK's economy and power will play a significant role in negotiations, no doubt, but the UK outside of the EU needs the EU more than vice versa.

So the independence argument I agree, is quite flimsy.

The difference with state pensions, welfare, etc., is that it's getting back money that has been taken out of their earnings and promised to them for decades. I think that's an important distinction. In America, we do base the amount of Social Security you receive on the amount you paid in; it's supposed to be like a forced savings account.

When the youth pay in, it's not seen as "the youth are paying for my retirement", it's seen as "the youth are paying for their retirements; I already paid for mine over the last 50 years, and now I'm going to start using it."

That's all well and good but the problem now is that politicians have pillaged the welfare funds and the programs are insolvent. The welfare and pensions need to be phased out. Those who've paid in for 50 years should get what we have left. Those who've paid in for 5-10 years are probably going to have to be SOL. That's a matter of simple fairness; the funds have been robbed, and it makes sense that those with the least to lose should bear the brunt.

If the case be convincingly made that the younger generations are going to be grievously harmed by the continuation of welfare programs, I believe the parents of those generations would do what parents do and take it on the chin for the benefit of their posterity. But I don't believe that's necessary in this instance; we should be able to give a very respectable portion of the population the amount of money we've promised them.

One of the other benefits of age is that you eventually come to understand that even a significant monetary loss can be made up over time, and that setbacks aren't the end of the world. As such, it's much more logical to solve the insolvency issues by asking how much time the person has left to make up the loss. Those who've spent decades paying in should get their promised quantities since they have very little or no time available to make up the monetary hit, those who have the most time to make up the difference and have also spent the least time paying in should get nothing, and those in between should get in between. Then the unsustainable system that caused this mess in the first place has to be dismantled.

We shouldn't confuse an interest in the reasonable fulfillment of the state's decades-long promises with disregard for the children's interests at large.
How is this concern different for any form of evidence? At some point you're trusting that a person collected evidence in the way they claim to have collected it. To help me understand, could you make an analogy for a drug bust? Theoretically an officer could plant drugs on you. And that does happen from time to time, but we don't just ignore all evidence because that might have happened.

Really? I have seen plenty of claims like that, and every time, they turn out to be false.

And how much exactly does a "doctor" make? Lönestatistik.se lists between 12k and 180k SEK/month. Quite a span.

So the UK left with one of the children and is telling the others they can't see them anymore.

Your thoughts are ironic because you have a very uncompromising view of your 'opponents'.

It is the simple truth that while many Americans say they dislike abortion, or want some types of restrictions on it, the primary driver is not those peoples' opinions, because they don't hold those opinions very strongly. The primary driver is a much, much smaller but almost unbelievably more vocal subset who take an absolute hard-line stance, turn out at every election, and treat it as essentially the only issue on the ballot.

Those are the ones Republican leaders are trying to appease without actually appeasing, because while they love the reliable automatic support on election day they know what would happen if those folks ever actually got their way.
I have things to do that don't include wasting days of my life because Bozo the Developer updated something and expected downstream to just cope with the issues. Certain communities live on that behavior; its a waste of my time churning.

Backblaze actually permits that:

You have the option with Backblaze to add an additional layer of privacy via a user-selected passphrase. This passphrase will be used to encrypt your private key. This passphrase is your responsibility to remember and safeguard. This is important: if you forget or lose this passphrase there is no way that anyone, including Backblaze, can decrypt, and thus restore, your data. When you choose to add your own passphrase there is no “forgot passphrase” mechanism as Backblaze does not know your passphrase.

Did it claim it was going to diagram it correctly? :)

My test was to see if "Have you ever seen a rich man fish?" is parsed the same as "Have you ever seen a red fish?" It is, which is incorrect.

The ambiguity in the structure has to be resolved by knowing there is neither a "rich man fish" or a "man fish"; although there can be a "clown fish" or a "pilot fish".

It also incorrectly parses "When shall we three meet again?" Compare its diagram to "When shall we all meet again?" In the latter, "all" is described as an "appositional modifier" to "we", but in the former, it is a "number modifier" to "meet".
> nonviolent change of power from royalty to the people

So regicide doesn't count as violence? Also, as mentioned down-thread, we had a pretty bloody civil war here, which replaced the monarchy with a 'Lord Protector' which ultimately amounted to the same thing by another name and so we decided the monarchy wasn't that bad, as long as parliament kept the worst excesses in check.

Excellent and important issue. Ownership in and of itself is not a bar to TN classification - to be a bar the ownership is supposed to rise to the level of controlling - but USCBP (at the "border") and even USCIS sometimes (and more and more) take the position that it is or conclude that if one is a founder or has an ownership interest, one is a "manager" and not an "engineer" and therefore ineligible for TN classification because there's no NAFTA occupation for managers.

Yes, I've often considered that this is probably how Java's collector tends to behave in practice, particularly with the eden and young generation. If you're handling an RPC call that returns promptly, it's probable that all of the structures you've allocated on behalf of that call will be part of the young generation and can be efficiently collected.

Indeed, it's one reason why I've assumed that Rust's memory model might turn out to work well for services (not having had a chance to try it): there's a clear entry point where the request begins and ends, and all of the memory allocated from that point onward can be discretely tracked and freed upon completion. In the services that I've built, the majority of the allocations are for these short-lived objects, with a relatively smaller amount being related to long-lived objects like connections to other services or caches. I imagine that websites and services might behave like this, though I haven't studied it carefully.

I'll be interested to see how transaction-specific optimization turns out, and whether it can do better than a general purpose generational collector.
> Awakening to a stock market plunge and a precipitous decline in the value of the pound that Britain hasn't seen in more than 30 years

There's a tad bit of sensationalism here. Yes, this is a HUGE drop to happen in one day, but the British Pound is only ~1.5% lower than the low of 3 months ago (when compared against the US dollar).

> Same for the GPU - they keep using pretty much the same Radeon, just newer, faster, etc.

The GPUs of the GameCube and the Wii have nothing to do with Radeon GPUs. They were designed by ArtX before they got bought by ATI (now AMD).

> and I expect Dolphin to support WiiU soon

This is a common misconception. Dolphin will never support emulating the Wii U — it would make no sense to do so from a technical standpoint. The GameCube and the Wii are very similar, the Wii U is a completely different beast.

> Part of it might be due to Nintendo picking architectures that aren't too alien to emulate on a standard PC.

Uh... while the CPU side is fairly standard (PPC 750 with just a few extensions like locked cache, paired singles, gather pipe, etc.) everything else is very much custom on GC/Wii.

The GPU is an undocumented mixed floating point (on the vertex side) / fixed point (on the pixel side) architecture, with very few programmable elements (TEV/TCG) and a lot of configurable state.

The DSP is a programmable 16/32/40 bits chip that kind of ressembles Motorola DSP architectures but still looks completely custom when comparing actual ISAs. The ISA of the DSP was actually fully reverse engineered by emulator and homebrew developers, there is 0 technical documentation about it outside of these communities.

And there are more things like that which are far from being standard when you compare to e.g. an Xbox or an Xbox 360.

That last paragraph is the clincher for me. A 60 year old is going to see maybe the next 20 years of long term effects pass them by in their old age. A 20 year old is going to see a lifetime of the consequences of this split, with special emphasis in their youth and entry in the job market and whatnot. Very very sad that the future of today's youth was just put in jeopardy. It crushes me to think of the hardships ahead.

Late last night I read a LA times Op-Ed (http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-klaas-dirsus-leav...) That presupposes globalization is good. Lists problems they allege only it can fix, and ignores globalization role in those very problems.

Additionally they never specify the recipient of globalization's "unprecedented wealth". Why should it motivate the average UK voter if they don't profit?
In case it's helpful: we have family friends who came on a diversity visa from Albania, and it cost them much less than that. Somewhere around $1500-$2000, with processing time <1 year. The lottery entry has no fee, and, once selected, the various visa fees added up to about $500/person. Their only other expenses were going around getting certified copies of documents, and paying a local lawyer to double-check things.

Hi Peter,

I'm based in the UK and in talks with (UK Based) investors for a significant amount of seed money to start a company.

I want to setup a US based company as all of the business will be with the US and I want a local office.

What sort of "investment" for the US based company do I need to make, so that I can secure a visa and what type of E visa should I be trying to get.

I know higher the better is probably preferable. But where is the sweet spot? $100k, $250k, $500k?

I do not have a PHd, nor a Masters or even Degree. However I have 25 years of IT experience and I am the technical / founder of my company.

Thanks

The required corporate relationship between the US and UK companies needs to exist but assuming that it does, then an L-1 transferee visa might be an option - although USCIS (if the US company isn't a "blanket" approved company) can be really tough on L-1s so the outcome isn't necessarily guaranteed.

Asking for a friend:

Hi Peter, I was wondering, if I have an O visa, and I applied for EB-1 but get rejected, do I lose my O visa?
There's no minimum and yes, the more, the better, but typically $100,000 is enough to support an E-2. But bear in mind, as I noted earlier, that a good chunk of the $100,000 invested must have been spent before the E-2 application can be submitted. Side note: most US Consulates and Embassies, including the Embassy in London, are really good on E-2s, reasonable, rational, and facilitative.

Also, from my friend again:

I know O1 visa is very specific for example O1 for producing or or O1 for acting. If your O1 is for producing you cannot do acting under that visa. Currently I have only enough experience only for producing. But Ideally I want to get O1 for producing and acting. My question is if you have O1 for producing, while you are at O1 you want to apply O1 for producing and acting, if I get denied is my O 1 for producing still good or it get waive? Or can I just petition to add acting in my current O1? If I petition to add acting and get denied does my O1 as a whole gets cancelled?

I went from O1 to EB1 and had to resubmit all evidence (and then some). There is definitely an opportunity for reuse, so assuming you didn't throw it all away, it should be easier to assemble your case than if you were starting anew. (I'm not a lawyer. Sample size N=1.)
