Well you can have another, can't you? Or is leaving the EU a one-way thing?

I'm sort of jealous. They had a referendum on Scottish independence and they honored the outcome. I'd love to have an up/down national vote on abortion, gay marriage, gun background checks.. At best here in the US, you're voting for a derivative, you're electing someone on the wish/hope that they support your issues if they get a chance or opportunity to of if they're willing to use political capital to actually propose the issues.. With something like abortion, it's at least 2 derivatives removed, you're voting for someone who will hopefully select a court justice (should they get to) that will align with your issues should the opportunity ever arise for them to make a judgement on it. And what's more perverse, there are a lot of single issue voters that take that multiple derivative issue situation as the only issue that matters.

It'd be an interesting experiment if nothing else.
> If you make under 133% of the federal poverty level in non-expansion states, you don't qualify for the exchanges.

You can buy insurance on the exchanges, you just don't get subsidies. Which does make it a largely moot point, since the last time I checked premiums for the low-end plans ran around $600/month unsubsidized, obviously out of reach for anyone who would have otherwise qualified for Medicaid.

> you won't qualify without serious tax shifting around the eligibility year enrollment cycle.

I could be mistaken, but I've helped people with this process personally and we didn't run into any problems in that regard. Lose your job, you're making $0/month, you qualify and there's no tax things we had to deal with. (I can't say, of course, that we did it all correctly but nobody has come back and punished her for what we did.)

> Also, to a different point above, COBRA is not 'discounted'. It temporary, but generally just as expensive as private insurance.

I am fully aware, but a hypothetical middle to upper-middle class person who lost their job would have that option available to them unless they had no savings.
You didn't. All of this is based on implication and what meaning you draw from the information, so it's not such a solid thing.
The thing is—backwater idiots have a right to vote too.

>> But its the right thing to do, to increase the standard of living for the most vulnerable among us.

Minimum wage decreases the standard of living for the most vulnerable. i.e. physically or mentally disabled persons, people who have been in prisons, unskilled labor, new immigrants with language difficulties. The minimum wage forces them to provide a minimum price for their labor services, resulting in unemployment.

You want to hire a person for a typical minimum wage job - would you pick a high school graduate at the minimum wage, or a physically disabled high school graduate at the minimum wage? The minimum wage just gave the latter the shaft because they can't negotiate to get the position for a lower wage.

For the slightly less than most vulnerable, then yes, minimum wage is a good thing. It's cannibalisation of the most vulnerable by the second most vulnerable.
I actually agree that the title is purposefully bait-y and has an implication.

It is generally considered a suited for a different class of problems. I think Kay's point is that decoupling the messages from an object's internal state is a smart approach to system design. Many of the other "features" of OOP get in the way of this design principle.
It has everything to do with the EU. It is globalism that has caused this, and the EU is a massive globalist force, pushing globalist policies on people against their will. A nation having the ability to defend itself against economic warfare is the only way to do anything about it.

Rust. Go is a fine exercise in language design, but ultimately it only fills the same space as a host of existing languages while offering modest gains. Rust has brought far more to the table and fills in a big hole between systems languages and applications languages. Rust will succeed in many places Go will never be considered.

How do you know it was just Brexiters who were Googling "What is the EU?"? Seems a bit presumptive.
I'd take that wager. The margin's in Scottland were not high enough to indicate that kind of radical step. 80% of the people who voted remain would have to want to take the additional steps of departing the UK and joining the EU.

Considering that the voting demographics state that the strong remain vote lies with youth, that means getting the youth to vote again and making sure they don't have their minds changed again.

Then you'd have to have the EU not piss off Scottish people in regards to the UK departure AND offer generous terms to them to revolt.

It's a talking point today, but Scotland isn't going to join the EU independently.
> We elect politicians whose full-time jobs it is to understand big and complicated issues, and to decide on our behalf how to deal with them.

But, on Brexit specifically, the British people elected a government that made a campaign promise to hold exactly such a referendum, and to abide by its results.

>> "How do you mean 'hyperbole'? As far as I know there are still killings and bombs even today"

There are but on a small scale. Off the top of my head I can think of 1 shooting and 2 or 3 'successful' bombs in the past 5 years targeted at security services. Obviously not common in most countries but nothing on the scale of the past. Shootings tend to be punishment style attacks within communities, usually involving drugs. None of these acts get support from anyone these days.

I think the DUP was the only party out of the 5 or 6 main parties advocating for leave. It's also not great for them that they hold the first minister position, advocated for leave, and within Northern Ireland people voted to remain. Similar position to the one Cameron is left in if you ask me.

>> "So I'm surprised you believe the unionists will allow what they've been fighting against for a century to just happen in a peaceful referendum? I'd love to be wrong, I have no insight to how the more extreme elements of each side think these days, are the troubles completely behind the country?"

The troubles are very much in the past. There are obviously still those who cling to the past but they tend to be concentrated in a few small communities with zero support outside those communities. Even when you look at the average person who would consider themselves nationalist all they really care about is keeping the peace we have. I think overall the climate is there with the people to have a debate about it - with the politicians not so much. When we have tactics in place that allow politicians to say no to even debating some social issues (gay marriage, abortion etc.) it's difficult to imagine them debating an issue as serious as this. I believe there are provisions in the peace agreement for a border poll so if those are met then it doesn't require anyone to allow the debate, it's automatically in the public arena where I believe an honest debate could occur.

According to the book 1491 (which is a great read, highly recommended), the population of the New World was much larger, and more more historic than we may be lead to imagine. Millions of Native Americans lived on the east coast alone. What may have did them in was disease (smallpox, etc) that desecrated the people before even the pilgrims came on the scene. What the first colonist may have seen was just all that was left of a epidemic.

(I also agree a genocide also happened in the West, from what survivors there were)
If that's true, then having them vote is a game of those in power to get what they want by trying to keep them stupid. Is that the rest of your thought? We can see how places with conflicts try to keep the population misinformed or under-informed in order to more easily justify violent actions, so who's to benefit (besides Boris Johnson) from a proper exit?

As jxy noted, APL2 actually was used that way in the mainframe days (I actually had the pleasure to use it, and it WAS a pleasure compared to any other facility offered on that system).

However, it's hard to replicate unix userland as K primitives - Unix pipes work well because every participant streams along implicitly; however, one of the subtle and often invisible truths of APL and K programming is that everything sort of assumes the length of every vector/list/axis/dictionary is accessible. It's not something that cannot be removed, it's just something that AFAIK has never been removed -- and the implications of removing it are likely to make APL or K less concise. Streaming in APL and K tends to be explicit.

K and APL are ridiculously useful, and once you've actually grokked the idea, it's hard to look at conventional programming languages (Java, C, C#, even Python) and not feel disgusted at the useless extreme verbosity and fragile building blocks. Some people use them as their shell, and have no issue delegating to "standard" unix userland. In fact, an older version of K IIRC had its "create directory" operation implemented as {system "mkdir ",quote x} or something like that. It might not look that way to an outsider, but extreme pragmatism is strong with the K community.

Yeah, but barely anyone fully understands their municipal org either, and I took the comment to mean people have no idea at all what the EU is. For example, Iceland is not part of the EU, just part of another construct which kinda/sorta makes it easy for them to do business with the EU.

They were correct to believe that no one could in good faith do what Comodo are doing.

There is no way that Comodo are acting in good faith and any claim otherwise is either an outright lie or (if anyone claiming good faith genuinely believes that to be true) complete stupidity. Or both.

Never rely on good faith from your competitors.
Ok - the reason I ask is because when I needed to figure some of that stuff out, I had more or less the same reaction you did in your talk. I'm still not 100% of everything :-)
I didn't think you or anyone else thinks it's all. But so much of news coverage (and forum arguments) are about the fringe elements which are basically nothing more than strawmen.

Saying that there are some people ignorant of what they are voting for is not news. Stating that one side has ignorant voters carries implications that the other side is correct and right thinking.
After dismantling the last superpower, a whole spectrum of things could happen. The assumption is that whatever rises from the ashes just by chance is better than the system that has been refined and mostly thrived for two centuries. Of course there is no assurance that we won't be left with a mix of anarchy and warlords.
This is a ludicrous comparison.
Huh, most of the continental U.S. was definitely not empty. It was all peopled. Unless you mean there were many miles between every settlement or something. But that's not really relevant.

The conflict between settlers and natives started pretty much right away (i.e. the early 1600s), long before there was any union.

The problem the EU has always had is that it wasn't really unified and that non elected officials held to much sway over countries. Countries, not states, not territories, or such. Meaning that you had distinct separation, governments, and the like, being controlled by people not of the same. This will always lead to strife.

If anything vote simply reaffirms that EU favoring side either failed to communicate properly why it was good to stay or worse, failed to recognize or acknowledge real issues that existed and take action to explain them or fix them. As in, far too often the exit crowd was portrayed and ignorant, bigoted, or worse, and you do not convince people your side is right when you attack them

plus it benefits the EU to make it all doom and gloom because this loose grouping was never bound to be successful without more tight knit integration, something they knew they could not sell.
This whole story is about people who are ignorant of what they are voting for.

Because it's in the guidelines:

Key takeaway: we can comment on politics as much as we want (I recently signed up for strongtowns.org !) but here is not a good place for it.
Protest/spite voting happens in Germany as well, and I'm beginning to consider if it's required to ask people (like an oath at court) when casting a vote. But knowing how people get pissed off about things like that for no reason and parties leveraging it, it seems unrealistic to do any good. In the future voting will probably involve bio sensors like cars with alcohol meters.

This is the problem with popular votes on issues with far-reaching and complex consequences. There are certain matters that are better left to elected politicians. If one were to have a popular vote as to whether or not we should dissolve the IRS in the US, that measure would likely pass because "yay no taxes!" but would result in the collapse of the US government.

I'm not sure that individual voters that have no conception of the myriad issues associated with this decision should have been allowed to vote on it.
