If the Scots were to leave now (which IMHO is much much more likely now), Churchill will be rolling in his grave. The Great island itself surviving virtually intact from WW2 only to break itself apart due to something like this.

Though one could of course, consider this part of the ongoing aftershocks from WW2 which Britain never fully recovered from (i.e. final nail in the coffin of the Empire, its virtual indebtedness to the US), which led to what are probably the most US-like, capitalist-minded policies of the entire EU. Policies which, although making London the financial powerhouse it is, have undoubtedly alienated its rural areas, and have led to the referendum result we are seeing now.
It's a bit tautological to say "If you remove all but x, then it's comprised entirely of x." I don't think most people would agree with your definition of ads, either. The first iphone ads were probably showing a lot of people something they didn't know existed, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who called the "iphone information services" instead of ads. Even in the realm of what you might consider to be zero sum ads, that might not always be the case. "Oh this car has 4 wheel drive? That's something I could actually use." Boom, added utility.
Well, that rate also puts a floor under a lot of domestic manufacturing (see how it has worked for China?), so a little bit more complicated that "gee, Miami is so much more expensive now."
Great news! We've been using hosted Sentry for a while (couple of years) and it works really well for its price. Highly recommended.
P.S Has anyone tried Golang support yet?
This is going to hammer them so hard, they're going to have to change 'pounds sterling' to 'pounds cupric'...
> which part of the history there was no wars in EU.

In case you have a short memory, before the EU there was the League of Nations between WW1 and WW2, to ensure wars would never happen again in Europe (and elsewhere). It did not work out too well.

The fact that we did not get any war in Europe after WW2 has really nothing to do with the EU being there or not. If anything, war did not break out because we were too busy preventing the Cold War from exploding in Europe and having Russia invade or coup every other country, like they did in the whole Eastern part of Europe.
Wishful thinking the the EU will be "better off". There are a lot of nations far more critical of the EU than the Brits. The EU has serious problems (over-regulation, bureaucracy) and if they aren't addressed, more nations will want out if they feel they are getting played (whether the economic indicators support said opinion or not).
If you don't want the Russian prostitutes, i'll be happy to take them.
A slightly meta discussion:

I noticed that some "typical headline news" are gathering a lot of votes and getting to the top of front page. This seems to be working against the HN guidelines:

If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I know political news get some kind of penalties. Would that apply to a more generic headline news like this?

Personally, I upvote stories like this purely because of its significance. And I am not sure if that was the intended use case.
Exactly. Low currency is great for manufacturing.
I'm not British so I can't comment directly, but I find it troubling that "leave" supporters are being broadly labeled as racist. Why should UK citizens be forced to allow Brussels to change the demographics of their country?

Before you vote me down, you should know I'be had to change countries twice and have been of the receiving end of some nasty nationalism (mostly in the EU ironically, almost none in the US).
The City should be put on an inflatable mattress and dock next to New York City.
You don't. Freedom of movement is a way to undermine nations building safety nets for their own people.
anyone else concerned? The entire world seems to be moving towards fascist right wing nationalist politics. Whether it is the brexit, trumpism, or the austrian elections.

Europe keeps getting destabilized. If i was an enemy of europe and freedom, id be cheering. Instead i'm deeply concerned.
If by "developed", the implication is "done making technological progress" then yes, economic progress will be very slow.
It's not about getting revenge, more so about making an example out of the UK to send a clear signal to other countries where nationalist anti-EU movements [1] are on the rise. If the UK does not suffer serious consequences, other countries might get some ideas about maybe doing the same.

This is the dilemma, I don't think the EU does want the UK to suffer just out of spite, but they can't give them a generous deal considering EU stability.

By the way: Berlin and London Stock Exchange markets want to merge, the UK leaving the EU is more of a problem in that regard http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-16/lse-agrees... (though they said they want the deal to go along no matter the vote)

[1] Front national (FN) in France, Alternative für Deutschland (AFD) in Germany, Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV) (Party for Freedom) in Netherlands, nationalist movements in Poland, Hungary, ... Election in Spain might also not turn out to result in a EU-friendly government... (seriously could go on...)
Xenophobic would be more accurate.

And apparently anti-sex worker.

And sausages.
It's amazing that such deep constitutional change will be achieved with such a slim majority. 48% of British people will be ejected out of the EU essentially against their will. The UK has always embraced first past the post voting, but it really shows here how it creates very discontinuous inflection points.
Agreed, but whether or not they manipulate the economy to the benefit of the citizens is another story.
It will be as bad as France, Germany, Poland and everyone else wants it to be. Decisions as to how to tax/regulate and/or block trade with Britain are now out of Britain's hands.

Those commonwealth countries (Canada) also trade with the EU. Whether they will choose to favour britain or not is also open. We'll get back to you on that one.
I'm not playing politics, but in my take any movement that distances you from a remote central power is positive in the end. Freedom should have been the basis for the EU, not Socialism. We all know where it's headed now.
Will also plummet. Imports will be more expensive as the pound drops (already dropped more than any other day in its history against the $).

This is a lose-lose. Everyone suffers. Trade with the UK will go down, and both the EU and the UK will be poorer.

Difference is that the EU has 10 times the population of the UK. And the EU has political disincentives to keep this breakup civil.
Is there any real appetite for that in the rest of the EU, though? You need some kind of potential partners to put together significant reform of a 28-member bloc, and restricting the free movement of labour would be a huge change. I could see it happening if there are increasing questions in many EU countries about it, but not if there are only really increasing questions in one.

External immigration is a huge issue in many parts of the EU, and a common rallying point for the anti-immigration right. Especially Muslim immigration has become a major political issue in many EU countries. There is probably a coalition that could be put together with a hard-line view on refugees and external immigration (and one is sort of forming in opposition to the Merkel-led coalition's more accommodating view). But internal EU movement is a much smaller political issue in much of the rest of the EU (though it is a big issue in non-EU, but Schengen member Switzerland). Anti-immigration parties elsewhere in Europe, like Sweden Democrats, are mainly animated by worry about Muslim immigration from outside the EU, and don't really have the beef with e.g. Polish immigrants that some of the UK anti-immigration groups have.
> All of the dependencies of the application are bundled with the container which means no need to build on the fly on every server during deployment. This results in much faster deployments and rollbacks. ... Not having to pull from git on every deployment eliminates the risk of a github outage keeping you from being able to deploy.

Obviously there are other benefits, but it's funny how much of the motivation for containers comes from "now we don't have to do git clone && npm install!", which was always the case.
Ironically Brexit might bring a federal Europe closer to reality. It strengthens the dominance of France and Germany.
It's also little more than a figment of imagination these days, as the bulk of UK trade is with Europe, Australia has turned to China, Canada lives off US trade and South Africa is following suit. I guess there's always Zimbabwe...

If anything he was rolling over in his grave when 55% of the country's laws were decided by politicians the people did not elect.
In the US this started during the Great Depression. Political leaders at the time were legitimately afraid of a socialist / communist uprising. The New Deal social welfare and income redistribution programs might have helped to prevent such an event.
Does the EU do anything anymore other than threaten "consequences" on various countries?

No wonder everybody hates it.
Why single out Apple? They aren't that nice to their employees.

And if you single out Apple, you can also single out Amazon: they may treat their employees badly by Google standards, but I am delighted to be their customer.
So Trumps populism is something good because what? Americans was taught that it's a good thing? What's your point here? USA has federal government = centralization of power so whats your point? I am living in EU, but i am not socialist and for sure i am not fascist so what you wrote is totally wrong.

EDIT: And next time think before saying that someone is in same shoes as fascists. My grand grandmother husband and son was killed fighting with fascists.
Is the supposed freedom worth it if your country's economy suffers? I'm not asking for political reasons either, I'm talking purely economical.

Freedom has a cost, and it seems that the UK populace who voted to leave does not fully understand that cost.
The vote has long finished, I'm afraid. They're just counting now
A bit of a naive question as I am fascinated by what is happening. I admit I don't completely understand so my question is if the UK is made up of England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland why aren't they represented at the European cup currently being held/played in France as the United Kingdom?

Why are they playing as separate countries yet voting together to leave the EU? I don't get it.
A couple of years ? People in the know predict more like a decade.
> of unelected bureaucracy

You mean the house of lords? It stays even without EU ;)
I'm still waiting on Texit (Texas).
Oh, Quebec won't ever leave. Even those who want to "leave" don't really mean leave. They always expected to keep Canadian money and passports. But we will have to live though a year of pathetic 'will they/won't they' news stories along with another round of French language laws and other things only the gray-haired care about.
After several years using GNU/Linux I have happily returned.

Windows and Mac OS X are the only sane alternatives for developers that care about desktop applications and developer friendly toolchains. Same applies to iOS, Android and WP.

The other alternatives feel like only the CLI and daemons matter, stuck in a PDP-11 view of the world.

Then again, NeXT was the only UNIX based OS with an alternative culture regarding developers tools and UX.

KDE is the only environment that can match in terms of tooling and UX, yet it is lacking some serious love nowadays.

I want my developer and user experience to be a Xerox Star and not a PDP-11.
Greece was a blueprint. Once you stop working with the system, the system bitchslaps you to keep others in line.
> Shouldn't we all just accept the lesser evil, by however small a margin it's less evil?

That margin is an epsilon, and its inverted for people with different pressing concerns than you.

The Republican party is full of people will be voting for Trump, not because they really like him, but simply to keep Killary out. That is their lesser evil.

This is the manufactured consent of US politics.
Pound hits lowest level since 1985
Perhaps I'm just ill informed or not getting a fair spread of viewpoints. When I saw I'm not saying or against individual Muslims, I mean to say I don't have something against them personally, just their views. I'm not saying they're bad people. Just that overall, at least from what I've read, the views the group appears to hold are not acceptable to me, nor should they be to anyone in favour of humanity. But I'm basing my understanding of the group numbers off of Pew Research, so perhaps they are incorrect?

As far as liking the right, only the right wing parties seem to be willing to openly say there may be an issue with the group beliefs. Your comment, which is sensible and accurate, does not seem to be what I've seen most left-leaning people saying. I've not heard EU/US leaders say anything like "X religion has some serious issues, but we need to work to fix those issues". But again, perhaps I've got sampling bias.
Nah, kapitza is complaining about the author of the piece, who seems to be a big prick.
> it's not as if every religion is equal. It'd be strange to say that, for instance, Jainism, has (or had) anywhere near the violence (even proportionally) that, say, Christianity or Judaism has (or had).

Lacking data, I'd guess that violence is proportional to power and not to the religious teachings. Janists don't control any large armies (yet). But if a Janist PM of India nuked Pakistan, would you be shocked?

> It feels somewhat dishonest to imply that no group has a larger problem. And I don't mean terrorism -- that's small enough in raw numbers to not matter -- I mean overall social views ...

It's impossible that every group has equal problems, of course, but many other factors may determine the social views, as an example: Is the group concentrated in a certain region? I'll bet Mormons have a stronger belief in democracy and civil rights than (pick some religion concentrated in a non-democratic country). Is the group disproportionately poor or rich? Old or young? Well or poorly educated? Does it have a political structure that lends itself to certain types of behavior (for example, I don't know about religions, but for nations democratic structures generally yield more peaceful behavior)? etc.

Think of it from a scientific basis: Can we control for other factors and isolate behavior down to religion? It seems almost impossible. And what is religion? Scripture? Teachings? The local clergy? Family? Personal beliefs - even those change. Within religions, there is enormous variety in observance and belief; very few if any blindly accept all their religion's teachings. It seems impossible to paint the individuals with a broad brush.

And regardless, I think it's unjust to judge any individual based on anything but their own actions. It's not right to guess what they might do and condemn them for it.
I'll take my UK company home to Germany at the end of the year. No need for a base in a non-EU-country.
not really analog or even close to what the eu is.
Also the sun never sets in it. Literally.
> Berlin can become the new London of Europe

It's not about the technology, it's about the people and the money, which is all in London.
My post was not bringing much to the discussion - I edited it to clarify my thinking. As British as the people of Gibraltar may feel, I don't think their patriotism will prevail over the prospect of being stuck from the main landmass by a border garded by a revengeful EU... Revengeful being the operative word, since there was always a crossing since the UK is not part of Schengen; but at least they were part of the EU.
I had been following the likelihood of a Brexit on Bloomberg. Before polls opened today, they said there was a 25% chance of the UK leaving. Seems they were quite, quite wrong.

I agree with this. In my (admittedly anecdotal) experience, many people hate FB the platform for different reasons but haven't found a decent alternative yet.

Apple is dying for the reasons other people mentioned above; plus the fact that it was built on the cult of Steve Jobs. In addition, it does not have a global presence. It struggles in Asia, is known only by name in Africa so in effect operates in a highly contested and mature market.
I wonder why they don't just hire people in a better timezone.

(Though eg bakers in Germany got up even earlier to make fresh bread every day.)
I just ran through the same calculator at UC Berkeley. The difference in expectations is minimal.

I then ran through the CSU calculator. The cost is actually doubled for CSUs, which have a lower total cost, but no grant/scholarship programs offered directly through the university financial aid office. My own experience with that environment tells me there are plenty of grant/scholarship options.
How much beef does UK sell to the US? I heard this retoric question every time US trade was argued
Not really here in significant numbers. Approximately 3% of the population. Not sure how many would be called Kate either.

Probably a good opportunity for a similar site emphasising Aboriginal people in business and tech.
I decided to use docker since a particular client I am working with mandated that we use bare metal servers they own. A problem that I haven't quite solved yet is that I have several distinct hosts running docker daemons, with certain apps designated for certain hosts. I wish there were a way for docker compose to know about multiple docker hosts. Docker swarm could maybe help, but the clients specifically wants certain things to be redundant across two specific hosts.
Logically right, but emotionally wrong. I don't think you've appreciated the extent to which people publically oppose EU migration because it's politically incorrect to oppose Muslim migration, whether or not this UI indirection makes any sense.
FPTP makes no difference when there are only two possible options.
I have a particularly strong attachment to Scotland, and as most Scottish people have, I would have voted to remain in the EU, however messy it is, though I suppose my opinion on the matter has little relevance since I can't vote.

More interestingly, I find this is a telling example of the limitations of democracy as we know it. Democracy, very broadly speaking, ignores population clusters (physical or ideological) to the extent that the "voice of the people" is actually not representative of anyone's in particular. I've tried to educate myself about alternatives or adaptations, but I have to admit I haven't found anything especially convincing thus far.
Japan is also being bludgeoned here with safe haven flows to the yen. Up 15% against sterling in a matter of hours. Up 5% against another safe haven, the USD... And they have negative interest rates... wow.
> all the compliance with EU regulations

Including immigration? That seemed to be a big factor in the Leave vote.
Freedom is an investment. Of course the UK will be worse in short run, and I'm sure EU members will poit fingers and say "we told you so!". But in the long run they will be better off than the rest of Europe, where structural changes have proven impossible. Such decisions take dozens of years to give fruit.
How do you tell where the downvotes are coming from?
Piling on this, Apple maps is absolute shit in Japan. Google pretty much seamlessly operates between English (romaji alphabet) and Japanese names for the same place.

The count hasn't finished, and the article title on HN doesn't match the title of the BBC article. It's deceptive, implying that the count has finished and the UK has voted to leave Europe. If you look through the comments here you'll see most people have got the wrong end of the stick from the incorrect HN title (presumably they haven't actually read the article).

From what I see, London's tech industry will largely shift to Berlin and other places.
There's a higher chance of pigs flying at this point.
It may not impact anyone actually. It's just a referendum and not a binding decision. I wouldn't expect a ~50% vote to actually force a change.
If you replicated Britain it'd just vote itself out again.

Clearly a very, very large portion of the country felt underserved by the model.
don't use the racism card so flippantly.

you're just implying there's no good reason for brits to vote to leave other than racism which is clearly bs.
For now, that is.
It is, it usually seems to be with referendums like this. I remember a similar situation with the Quebec referendum of 95. A lot of unresolved questions, vague ideas on how to essentially keep certain things the same and change others but no concrete plan. Brexit is obviously way worse given the global impact. It will take at least decades to fully resolve.
That and the populist vote doesn't vote rationally. They vote emotionally. This puts you in a state where charismatic leaders will appeal to and exploit emotional triggers in people.

Historical evidence suggests that such leaders tend to move towards to political extremes.
Props for using actual numbers, something that was very lacking in this process.

Short term it is going to be bad for the UK. It will have to renegociate trade agreements, this will create lots of uncertainty which isn't good for the economy, and also lots of market volatility.

Long term the EU is going nowhere, it is dominated by socialist countries that will go the way of Argentina, a slow but steady decline (well under way). And the migrant crisis, which is likely only at its beginning (look at african demographic projections), combined with Brexit and the rise of populism all over Europe, will likely put such a strain on the EU that I think its days are numbered.

So on the long run, I think the UK has probably made a wise choice.
Money will quickly escape to New York and Frankfurt
So which is better? Providing a social safety net for "everyone" where "everyone" is defined as "only citizens of this country," or allowing a much larger "everyone" (people from many or all countries) to move to whichever place they deem to have the greatest opportunities?

If you leave the US, Google Maps is orders of magnitude better. If you commute anyway other than by car, Google Maps is orders of magnitude better.

So basically, Apple is slightly competitive if you are driving a car within the US, but even there it's probably a lot worse in the aggregate.

And Flyover is not even close to being as useful as Street View.
