In theory. In practice Westminster would have to override devolved powers given to the Scottish Parliament which is a huge "no no." At the moment, Scotland has an effective veto, just because Westminister can change devolved powers doesn't change that fact.

So, yes, Scotland has a veto on leaving the EU. It just isn't an iron-clad veto, but by effectively overriding Scotland on this one you're all but assuring Scottish independence.

The real question is if Westminister WANTS to leave? If not a Scottish veto might be the political "out" they need.
What botnet? Take off your Tinfoil hat.
Immigration system for skilled workers is not going to change. If the UK actually does leave the EU, they'll replace EU rules of skilled immigration with something similar.

The UK is a knowledge economy, it will always be open to skilled immigrants. Yet people actually believe that the UK will close down all immigration. It's absurd.
Sure, we don't know how it will turn out.

BUT: The EU has a big incentive to make the UK regret their referendum, as it is not in their interest that other countries exit too. That prevents a favorable deal like for non-members Switzerland or Norway.

Maybe the interface is a generational thing. I don't appreciate the phone-centric features (swipe, page-by-page, large boxy graphics everywhere) on a desktop. Tiles are obnoxious. The new browser is obnoxious (struggle to set and then maintain home page/blank page settings through updates). The goofy wizards with no obvious buttons.
Example:
Apple held my iPad 2 hostage until I stopped using iOS 8. I forgot my unlock pin (because I lent my iPad to someone else) and there is no way to factory reset it without also updating the OS.

So now Flux no longer works, and there is no way to adjust the gamma on this device, which means I no longer like reading on it before bed. And there are plenty of other regressions in iOS 9 as well. And they forced me to update my desktop just to interact with it.

SO, Apple very much forced me to update, if I wanted to keep using my device. There is no reason that updating iOS should be required to factory reset it.

Isn't that making a decision for you? "users will only ever need to install software from our central app store" is deciding for the user that they don't need to be able to run whatever software they want on their device. It's fine if, as a user, you decide you don't need that capability, but you are still having that decided for you.

Disclaimer: I don't know the current status of 3rd party app on iOS but my point still stands.

Not only is it jumping the gun, it's an absurd proposition. London is the world's top financial center. It has been for the better part of two centuries (sometimes jockeying for the top spot with New York). Nowhere else in the EU comes close.
From a development perspective it isn't so much the actual API or the structure of it.. but how easy they make it to understand and integrate into it.

This doesn't mean there's a racist majority in the UK, that would be somehow inaccurate. This just means the racists have received validation from political leaders and voters, making them feel enabled to attack foreigners.

Show HN: Interview Cake Clojure Solutions
I think that quite a few Europeans have this view about the UK:

- if the UK wants mostly to stay on the sidelines and not put skin in the game, then: "Goodbye! Don't let the door hit you on your way out!"

- if the UK is fully committed to the EU (which might very likely mean a federal state in the long term), then: "Welcome, you help and support are greatly appreciated!"

Basically, Europeans want the UK to buy into the European idea, not just pragmatically adopt it for economic benefits. Of course Europeans aren't stupid, they want economic benefits as well, but this is mostly about a principle.

Sort of how the US is about the "American Dream", so the EU wants to forge an "European Dream".
If you are retired then in order to cover expenses every month you either a) sell assets b) receive payments from assets.

If you are invested in an index fund and the market nose dives for 20 months you don't have the luxury to wait until it recovers. You are forced to sell at 30-40-50% lower values while the slump lasts. This translates to burning through your nest egg at 1XX% the rate you 'normally' would for the duration of the slump.
Life is cheaper there because Germany hasn't (yet) invited the parasitic banking sector into the nest.
I found this list useful, and I appreciated the context and alternatives given to the standard recommendations. However, this comment epitomizes what drives me nuts about HN, negativity, with no feedback or justification.

What, if anything is wrong with the list of links provided?

What would you have recommended? And why does this list come up short?

What led you to believe the link would be more than "just" a list of learning classes?

You take issue with the fact this list was compiled by someone getting their master's in Deep Learning, why? If it matters who gives the suggestions, might I ask who you are and what qualifications you posses to so flippantly discount someone's contribution?

> proves that there's a massive hip about Neural Network among programmers

Wouldn't the opposite be true, if people learned more about the subject ?!?!

No matter what they do, the users would complain. By leaving the settings on recommended, the user said she wants free IT support from Microsoft. Microsoft, like any other IT dept. would, made the decision to upgrade to an OS which will work better for everyone.

Sadly, a small amount of users don't understand why they can't keep using the same $200 Dell from 1999 forever - just like many users can't understand why Microsoft can't and shouldn't support obsolete operating systems forever.

> social regulations are a major turn off

One man's turn-off is another man's turn-on. A lot of traditional issues for European left and green movements were enshrined into EU law, and there is no appetite whatsoever to abandon them.

There are clear grievances towards the Euro asset and the (relatively recent) neoliberal bend that economic policies have taken at Union level, but nothing that can't be fixed -- especially if German governments start being a bit more cooperative.

In fact, this is the real rubber between UK and most other European governments: for the UK, the Union has always been primarily about the market, whereas others embraced the federalist project with more conviction. Some of them stuck to the overall federalist projects even while rejecting the common currency, which is arguably its cornerstone. The problem for the EU is fixing its economic policies, not its social ones.

> It seems like they were getting the least out of the deal.

That's very ironic, considering how the UK was getting probably the best deal compared to all major countries: free trade, no Euro (which also means no oversight from ECB, despite all scaremongering to the contrary), very little net cost because of the special rebate, and a privileged position at the intersection of financial flows from Asia, US and Europe. Regardless of what departing agreement we can get, the country will never get anything as good as that.

edit:

The ECHR is not an EU institutions. In fact, the UK will likely remain in that no matter what.

The FRA is basically an advisory body...

I honestly don't know what problem you might have with the charter, unless you plan on torturing or being tortured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_Fundamental_Rights_...

The ECJ is necessary even just as an arbitration court, so again, not sure what your grievance is.
I agree with you on the IT mindset, but there's a huge difference between getting users in a small company to run updates or whatever the IT need there is vs overriding settings on something someone actually owns.

My company's IT has accidentally done things like this before and even when it's on a corporate machine a popup coming up and saying "gonna restart in 5 to do updates" SUCKS while you're working.

Software that Search and Rank images using CBIR method
In my experience, Windows 10 is a poor upgrade from Windows 7 on laptops and desktops. The interface is a buggy, half-hearted attempt to roll back the trainwreck that is Windows 8 to something resembling 7, except 7 still works better since it doesn't have to deal with all the Metro (tablet/touch interface) bits.

For now I'm keeping Windows 7 with manual updates - while loathing the fact that I have to use Windows at all - and I suspect there are a lot of people like me.
Their practices for downloading updates in Windows 10 itself are not much better. I tried following all the instructions to disable automatic updates on my Windows 10 pro laptop and still they got me with 20 minutes update at the time I needed my computer urgently. Windows behaves like malware these days and it's very sad to see.
Marginal Revolution had an interesting discussion on the possibility of Finance leaving London [0].

Reading the discussion it seems like there's no real obvious choice for a European city which might end up owning Finance in the way London has. After all London earned its status as financial capital a long time before the EU was created and has a long history supporting this industry. The legal system and services that formed around it are unlikely to be able to be easily transplanted, so despite other cities wanting to offer themselves as substitutes it's not Banks could move without losing some economies of scale.

This is of course assuming that our government attempts to negotiate for us to stay in the 'single market' and that the finance industry itself lobbies for Europe to play ball and keep business as usual.

Of course, it is possible that we could see some decentralisation, which could weaken Europe's banking industry in relation to the US.

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm with you 100% on having the explicit opportunity to opt out of updates like this. That said, a large swath of Windows users are not nearly as technically literate as you and your mother are, and automatically helping people forward (if for nothing else, security fixes and ongoing support) is a Good Thing in my book (so long as it's free, and it is).

There is no doubt there are cogent arguments against it. But when I think of the operating systems a lot of botnet computers are running on, I have a hard time not supporting automatic OS upgrades for non-power users.

I'll repeat the comment I gave there:

>I don't view Berlin as a viable replacement as a top start-up hub because wages in Berlin are simply ludicrously low.

>With Google's investment in the Zurich office, and the much, much more internationally competitive wages you can earn in Switzerland, I think Zurich could be better positioned.

>There's certainly no reason to believe that specifically an EU city would be the next to take off. And in most other ways, the Swiss job market is just much more competitive.

>I'm also depressed by the article using a picture of an anti-human violently wide open co-working space as a stereotype of a thriving start-up culture. Nothing says you're being totally taken advantage of like a wide open floor plan.
Well, I do believe that's racism. Why else would you limit someone coming over their skills? And I'm not saying that feeling racist is abnormal. I'd just prefer people to cut the crap.

And I'm actually curious about what would those skills be as I don't believe that's a reasonable approach..
At first I thought: giving this info might ease me from being treated as a semi-terrorist because I regularily visit Iran.
Then I thought some more... my LinkedIn-Profile mentions I own a US company. Which is false, that mentioning there is only a means to get access to some groups and test waters as "if I was a local" because we consider moving there.

I will cede you may be correct, of course the world is much bigger than America, and presumably different states and courts have different variations for coywrite, logo, ect.

You are correct Musk didn't start Tesla. However, he did create it and Eberhard basically sank the company. Also, I meant to put the Model s instead of Tesla. I will also, correct myself to say that certainly Musk himself didn't create the model s, Tesla, ect alone. The point was that patents, trademakrs and copywrite are there to protect the people who build and create things, however the system is obviously very broken.

Not fair! She was using it fine. It suddenly failed, due to events completely independent of it being a $200 Dell or whatever. She wasn't installing new apps, and her old ones served her well. No, this debacle was entirely of Microsofts' creation.
Thats awesome, I wasn't aware of this. I slightly disagree with Greg though about the "one main resource". While the DL book is amazing, its not really aimed at newbies, and so I think CS231n is a much better starting point.

That's if you have a qualified sysadmin on-staff to manage it. We tried managing our own ES setup for a little over a year before giving up. Despite our simple needs and low traffic volume we regularly had difficult-to-diagnose issues with memory usage, node interconnectivity, and performance. With 3 EC2 nodes in a cluster we would occasionally have the cluster health go to yellow and remain in a 'recovering' sate indefinitely, bringing performance to a halt, and we'd essentially have to rebuild and swap the cluster.

Granted, none of us were proper ES admins, but we had a lot of experience working with system administration and specifically database performance and clustering. Despite that we were definitely in over our heads with ES.
I'm not sure that conflicts with Brin's statement here; he seems to be encouraging people to start outside the Valley when they're pre-funding. A lot of VCs (for instance, Y Combinator) are happy to fund non-Valley founders as long as they use the money to move to SF.

Google launches Project Bloks, a hardware platform for teaching kids to code
A Google Book search finds only a 2002 Weekly World News opinion piece by "Ed Anger" and a 2009 book "Stealing Ganymede: A Novel".

There are ~150 hits in DDG for "Indian" plus any of the four combination of order and choice of {"and", "or", or "not"}. There are 94 hits in Google for "dots or feathers" and 120 "dots and feathers". This includes "polka dots and feathers."

Almost every single one referring to people uses that phrase in a derogatory way.

None of the 6 phrases exist in Google's n-grams.

That makes it decidedly not common, at least in the written word.

I have been in Berlin for 8 years and would not change it for London at all. In data science at least there's far more action here. More interesting technologies (Flink), people taking more technological risk and reaping the benefits.
A simple google search might have informed you. Indeed there is a Wikipedia page on multiple ways of measuring it.

At least 100 countries are more diverse, ethnically, linguistically, racially, you name it. Germany is among them, so is the US. France is about the same level of diversity. A majority of EU countries are more of a melting pot than the UK, in fact.

The UK is 87% white, 95% English speaking, 92% Christian/atheist/agnostic. It doesn't get much less diverse than that.

And of course the places that aren't homogenous (inner London for instance), all voted "remain" by a huge margin.

Coming from Windows 7, and being completely baffled by 8.x, I feel 10 is an upgrade in most ways. A bit inconsistent in how apps draw/behave, but still an upgrade.
Funny how its installer seem to not even do a basic check of disk space and computer capabilities before start to download loads of data

If let's say, the installer takes 10GB it shouldn't start downloading anything unless there's at least 20GB
Support it if you want, but you seriously think it's OK for the PC to restart in the middle of a call? What if the user is doing something mission critical; it's acceptable to just wait an hour (or more likely several) to get back to work because "MS knows best"?? There is nothing to stop it from just doing it all over again either. I will never use Windows again because of this behavior.
That seems completely reasonable to me.
