An alternative to steel for concrete reinforcement is glass blown basalt [0], which struck my interest via its use in a project for free-floating, (geopolymer) concrete seasteading vessels [1].

Yes I agree although I have never come across an extrovert who wanted to become more intovert.
Pre-AC21 that was the general advice to avoid questions at the naturalization stage but that all ended with AC21. It's also a borrowed misunderstanding from the general GC portability requirements (which don't apply here) which allow one to "port" one's GC application after one's I-485 application has been pending for 6 months.
London is and will be the start-up hub. Barcelona is also is a good place to start a business, but London has a lot a talent form around the world. No brexit can change that.

The EU also has for net neutrality.
The UK sees itself as an important world player in its own right.

EU membership challenges that, because in the EU the UK is one country out of many - and not even the most important one.

Of all the countries in Europe the UK has been least able to deal with the loss of empire in the previous century, and hasn't yet worked out a way to look forward to the rest of the 21st century instead of back to the 19th.

This is unfortunate because there's a lot of talent of all kinds. But it's trapped in a political and financial wasteland which is built on a bizarre nostalgia for the glory days of the 19th century.

If the UK had been like this in the 18th century, the industrial revolution would never have happened here. We'd have been pining for the old pre-civil war monarchy instead of building a future.
It's configurable. For various reasons you might not be able to send DELETE requests.
The only salient point this article mentions (but only briefly) is that concrete production generates a huge amount of CO2. Everything else is hogwash. In terms of strength, versatility, and cost, steel-reinforced concrete has proven to be the greatest building material humans have ever devised. It is by no means perfect, but nothing is. Concrete needs to be maintained just like anything else. With neglect it decays.
We've recently had the threat level for that type of violence raised.

The same rules apply to the E3 that apply to the H1B, that is, one can't self-petition so it can be a problem if one founds and owns a controlling interest in a company. But Consulates as opposed to USCIS are much more receptive to visa applications by founders/owners (but again the founder/owner can't control the company). I'd be happy to speak with you about this.
LOL Well my wife does QA of projects I work on from open source game servers to various things I build around the house for fun. She's quite good at bug reports and very detail oriented, she's comfortable running the same manual test over and over to prove something broken or to check if my change fixed it.

Recently she asked me to build a skill for Alexa (Amazon Echo) to trigger the custom cat feeder I built a while back to drop food when she commanded. I managed to get the skill working in about an hour and she now enjoys playing with it when she thinks that cat needs a bit more food in her bowl.

I have been very lucky to have deep ties where my life overlaps with my spouse and couldn't imagine how it could be any different.
What's the actual law/potential charge behind the Lovoo situation? Creating fake users to make a Web site popular is hardly new: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/how-reddit-got-huge-tons-of... .. In the UK, at least, I believe what Lovoo appears to have done would be treated as false advertising which generally results in fines for the company, but not jail time for employees (at least, in my limited experience reading about such cases).
It's a mix but some investments by investors (as opposed to family and friends) is important and also really that the product developed/being developed is interesting and grabs the attention of the adjudicator.
There are a whole lot of different issues at play here, and I think it's more complex than you make out.

First, I agree that a referendum is a referendum – that's pretty much the end of it. Case closed. I suspect that current confusing and objection is rather a lot of people who hadn't previously been that invested have suddenly realised what the decision means, and are trying to figure out how to take the steps that should have been taken in the first place (e.g. a turnout threshold, a vote share threshold, a requirement for all four constitution counties to vote, that sort of thing.) It's too late for that, and it's a total fuck-up on behalf of everyone involved.

I think the complaints about 'social media whining' are a bit unfair. What you're seeing is a whole bunch of people who generally would support the EU, and whose social groups all generally feel the same. They are, understandably, quite annoyed at the outcome, even if they perhaps weren't as well-informed as they should be. I imagine that the majority of them didn't vote 'Remain' to 'prove a point' or anything like that, so much as they didn't have any particular objection to the EU.

On the flip side… I am sure that there are people like yourself who have a coherent, informed understanding of the EU and the associated institutions, and who have come to the conclusion that they don't agree the goals or methods of the project. Or maybe others who think that the economic benefits of escaping the single market are worth it. But I do not think that the majority of support for the 'Leave' campaign was aligned with this.

I would feel less annoyed about this outcome if what we had seen in the UK was a rational, informed debate about the future of the European project and if we wanted to be a member of that. I would have felt better if there had been a comprehensive blueprint for an independent UK – like the one that the Scottish government published prior to the independence referendum – that could be argued over. But we didn't have that, and instead got what I think Dimbleby described as 'post-truth politics'. We had people shouting lies at each other about economics and immigration, with research and numbers not really getting a look in. And, more than anything, the outcome seems like a protest vote caused by long-term political disengagement, rather then specifically a genuine anti-EU sentiment.

Contrasting this with the Scottish indyref – after that one, I felt much happier. I was still on the losing side of the argument, but it felt like the arguments has been made and the decision had been taken fairly; even though I didn't agree with the outcome, I didn't feel like it was unfair. I don't have that feeling today.

Very nice, you should change the title to "Tattoos by Countries Map".

Re tattoos, I don't know why so many people are doing this too. Sometimes I think it must be a huge misunderstanding: I observe tattooed people longer and more intense because every time I think 'why'. Why did they do this. Often the tattoos are ugly, faded, huge and then I stare even more and longer. And I guess that tattooed people misunderstand my staring and think I am attracted to them and affection must be the reason I watch them. Since many will watch them they must think, wow my tattoo makes people look at me, I need more tattoos.

On the other side they make people look at them and maybe that better than nothing or no attraction and maybe this initial slight disgust could turn into demands the longer you watch because you discover other beauties of the person.
yeah, but why didn't they just add a factor 5 to the mix?
Sure, that's true so long as the reward system exists. But if the reward system didn't exist everybody (including YOU) would be better off.

I wish there was an economic expression to describe the situation with credit cards and their rewards. Tragedy of the commons[1] and the unscrupulous diner's dilemma[2] both come close, but aren't exactly right.

No; nor does it need the overhead of having to navigate through several lists to get to the desired URI when it could infer the full URI from the very beginning.
I disagree with the comment above. Massive amounts of materials without much to them often don't work in fact. It's more than that. It's really conveying - supported by evidence - what is really interesting and significant about the work and achievements of the applicant and conveying the applicant's passion. And most talented founders who are truly passionate about what they are doing have a good faith basis for proceeding with an O1 (although sometimes there's just not enough there to get it over the line).
London. Not Berlin.

Berlin is affordable but that's it. You won't find the best people, the best teams and a good legal framework.

The UK has a better legal system. The UK Ltd. is way superior to the German Ltd. and soon they will move away from the EU inherited laws which are too much market regulating. Especially consumer protection and labour law are just a big bummer for many and for startups in particular.

Besides, just check total fundings, exits, average fundings sizes, etc. then you see the difference. Berlin based startups got much moeny the recent years but slowly people question again the ecosystem since exits are missing. Ok the city doesn't have the startup history like a Valley or London but still. Clear successes are missing. The only huge thing was Zalando's IPO.
Britons today recover from a political bombshell, a vague distant aspect etched on the faces of Remainers and some Brexiteers alike, never quite fading as they proceed through the polite machinations of a just another Friday. Today there was no fire, nor planes charting a new course as they veer around the vertical borders of the common market, yet to the observer one thing is clear - something has changed, and this thing may not be undone.

As the enormity of the situation sets in, Britain must reflect on her status. Yet as currency and foreign investment alike tick into the ether, we cannot afford leisurely introspection. Commentators alight to social media, fast food opinions winding through the networks to be forwarded, appraised, accosted, and forgotten.

A stunned middle rouse from their silence, incredulity reigning. Someone must be blamed, and there are no shortage of targets. The deceitful far right must surely be deposed, their 350 million untruths a week publicly unravelled at the teeth of the media. Tautological slogans, much as we must surely want to “Make Britain British again” wear thin, amid claims of xenophobia being noncommittally dismissed, and swiftly, lest anyone ponder too long at their origin.

The leave campaign celebrate an ethereal success, yet no definition of success appears. Nor was one provided - a marginal result in a referendum which declined to assert a majority, or to be legislatively bound to parliamentary action, leaves dangerous room for interpretation, yet as a consequence manages to leave none at all.

The glaring omission makes one thing clear - there is no plan - for who can plan for what cannot be defined? The stage show props of austerity budgets are shuffled back under coats amid sheepish mutterings of “ah, well, before the vote, you see…”. The idea of success of this referendum was to do not with the outcome, but with its existence. A scrap, thrown far to the right in exchange for a grubby four years, has swiftly been devoured, and the leader finds his four years have, overnight, been devalued to two.

Exposed to his short sell on the exchange rate of democracy to political capital, he has built an unflattering legacy. The leader who failed to lead, and the alumnus who handed the keys to the counterfeit every-men riding a wave of anti-intellectualism, has gambled one time too many and must bear the greatest loss of his era. Not only has the sea between Britain and the world become rougher than ever, but the political dice are cast, and as they tumble to a halt, the shape of the United Kingdom itself now rests on how they lie.
Without knowing more, it sounds like you would have a strong O1 or EB1A application.
Also, the provided Java client is garbage (you need to put all the arguments into an untyped hashmap that corresponds to the JSON, WTF?).

And why are there separate clients for Java and Android, which both use the same namespace differently?

And why do I need to set the API key as a global for the general Java client, while the Android client (sensibly) lets me give it as a constructor argument?
Nice idea, and nicely implemented.
To be clear, one can proceed with a GC application even if in TN (or another non-dual intent) status. Such a filing however compromises travel (in the short term) and can impact the ability to renew the TN in the future if the GC application fails.
Frankly, I no longer have this nagging need to be considered "a good person". I've witnessed too many biases in how people tell good people from bad, they make outright errors, even worse, they refuse to acknowlege their errors, refuse to learn.

Now, it's enough for me to bring my point across.

> Everything is kind of fine as long as the numbers are small and the places of origin for immigrants are not too outlandish

However, a) the numbers of immigrants are huge, and b) places of origin of said immigrants are worrysome. Therefore it seems that your sentiment does not apply. I was content too when numbers were tolerable. That was long past.

> "caps or selective admittance or anything else to quickly deal with "mass immigration","

Here you can't see why the problem arose.
The need to deal with immigration arose long ago, maybe 15 years ago, maybe 10. Nothing were done by policy makers or "inclusionists" or who you call them. They left doors wide open, even after it was obviously leading to social stress. Fast forward 10 years, they've lost all their cred with me. The time for slow and correct measures was 10 years ago and they weren't implemented. So obviously now I'm pro-quick solutions.

And inclusionists can think all they want. They ignored my concerns for too long for me to listen to them now. They rejected dialogue first. They were also calling names like you can't help yourself not to.

UPD: "You can be opposed to whatever you like." - people will also vote on referendums and elections whatever they like, don't come worried then.
I've been living in Berlin since 3 years ( doing freelance web-development & my own "entrepreneurship" adventures ).

IMHO Berlin might sound cool as a startup hub, but there is a huge lack of talent. Companies are struggling to find a decent dev/design team, probably because the payment is way too low than average. It's true that Berlin is cheaper than London ( and overall Germany ), but definitely is not so cheap to attract good IT people to join your journey with those numbers.

On top of that, giving stock-options here is a bit hard ( legally ), so companies are struggling to offer some "virtual shares" of an employee pool as a compensation, which will never make you as rich as if you are one of the first employees of a unicorn.

Everything else from offices, meet ups, parties, nice food, international city is here and I think is much better than overcrowded and expensive London ( That's why I'm still here :) ).
You must be a frontend or mobile developer. On the server side using five year old tech is the mark of a proactive and daring company. Our code depends on Python 2.7 (released in 2010) and we still have to compile our own CPython every time we deploy on servers managed by the client.

PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your postgresql database directly into a RESTful API.

The REST API is designed intuitively, just as one would expect.

I've been using it a lot for prototyping and internal applications. Now with the help of native row level security from postgres, it would become also a good choice for production. Or just wrap it behind your gateway.

True enough, but most of my chip cards will not work with the mag strip if the card reader supports chip. If I slide the card, I get a message on the POS screen telling me to use the chip.

I suspect that a large number who voted to leave were doing so in protest, and did not expect to (or perhaps even want to) actually win the vote.

I can't comment on the merits of this petition, but I'd guess that another referendum held today would have a different result.

Pure conjecture, anecdotal evidence and more than a little bit of wishful thinking of course :)

Yap. Once they invoke article 50 of the Lisbon treaty they're still a member of the EU for at least another year or two, bound by the same rules and legislation but without any say in it.

Spot on.

As technical lead on some projects whenever someone comes will cool idea X, my question usually boils down to what is the business value of that idea.

If it doesn't improve business in some specific way, it doesn't matter how cool it is, it will just produce costs (developer time * hourly rate) without any benefit to the bottom line.

You have absolutely no basis for your claims.
Absolutely correct. Please note up front that I no longer vote, and I don't really care who wins the election.

That said, I've been watching elections and presidential politics in the US very closely since Watergate. Trump is very likely to win this election. There are many factors in play that the pundit and pollster class don't understand, and don't seem to care to understand. In this scenario, both the large crowds (polls) and the moderate crowds (expert panels) are likely to miss the mark by wide margins.

This is not because the experts lack expertise, but rather because this election has some unusual features that have not been seen for a couple of generations at least, and their models (mental and statistical) don't seem to be taking account of that. Humans have a nasty habit of switching motives without notice.
I'm a fan of brutalism, so I do like concrete buildings and find them interesting, but there's also a good case to be made about mud bricks, which the author aludes to. Yes, you'll have issues building 10-storey high buildings out of mud-bricks, but it's definitely possible to build structures (like barns) out of them that can easily last more than 100 years, without the builder having to have a civil engineering degree. I've seen one such structure with my one eyes, built by my grand-grand-father who was a peasant. The only thing you have to be careful about when building stuff out of earth is water infiltrations, otherwise you're good.

Buildings made out of earth are also better heat insulators compared to concrete. My grandma's house was always cool in the summer, while my appartment which is part of a building made out of concrete wouldn't be livable in the summer without AC.
IANAL, but tricking paid users to believe they're in contact with real humans, with whom they have the hope of getting into some relationship, is on another level.
I'm not sure whether it's a "good" standard, but that doc indirectly links to "URI Templates" [0] It isn't clear to me how that works on the client side however. Can we just assume that clients know how to construct a URI using a template? I guess we can, since it's no more difficult than using the specific API knowledge required to "jump to page 100" as you want to do.

Not if it's a binary decision, as in the article.
It is supposed to be chip + pin. That works. chip + signature is a silly compromise that is as insecure as magstripe + signature.
This article has many problems. Most importantly, building techniques such as "steel frame", "traditional bricks and mortar", "mud brick" and "rammed earth" are far less capable than reinforced concrete. The article implies that as these are more "durable" they are superior to reinforced concrete. This is a false equivalence of staggering magnitude. Reinforced concrete is the great enabler of modern high-rise construction and civil engineering; most projects simply would not be able to be built without reinforced concrete. Without reinforced concrete the world would be a very different place.

I take special issue with the article's use of pseudoscientic false analogies.

> This means that concrete structures, for all their stone-like superficial qualities, are actually made of the skeletons of sea creatures ground up with rock. It takes millions upon millions of years for these sea creatures to live, die and form into limestone. This timescale contrasts starkly with the life spans of contemporary buildings.

This is utter drivel.

There is a valid point in that for smaller scale constructions other techniques may be applicable which are otherwise ignored; also that there are alternatives to steel as the reinforcing material, both for prestressed structures and not.
NY makes more money (and collects more taxes) than e.g. Alabama. So NY finances Alabama. In the EU, Germany implements capital controls in Greece.

That's the difference. US is a monetary and fiscal union that has free movement of labor and capital. The EU cannot only be the latter.
Not trying to sound snarky, serious question: Is it due to Edward's (over)use of the type system, making it fit (however complex) into the Haskell system? Could a more expressive system like Idris have avoided the complexity?

If so, I'm certain there is a simple implementation of the lens idea that's much easier to understand and apply.
