For some, like Germany, the EU is great. Their export-oriented economy coupled with control of the ECB and the Euro currency means they get to export their goods to the entire continent without tariffs. Someone like Greece/Portugal, who are not manufacturing/export economies, in the meantime get to enjoy endless debt and with no control to print and devalue their own currency, are essentially fucked. Forever. Is the EU "great" for them? I dunno.

Portugal is in trouble, so is Italy. The upcoming Italian banking center crisis, which is pretty much inevitable, will reset any economic gains from the last 5 years quite nicely. France is doing okay-ish. Definitely second fiddle to Germany though.

Speaking of Germany. Their bone-headed fear of - gasp - inflation and austerity measures are dividing Europe, not to mention Merkel's idiotic handling of the refugee crisis. Euro-scepticism is growing. Fully 1/3 of Germans are now Euro-sceptics. Let that sink in for a moment. Right-wing nationalism is increasing. Marie Le Pen and Geert Wilders are growing in popularity. If that's not a failure of Euro-liberal policies, I don't know what is.

I don't think what happened yesterday is great. But portraying the EU experiment (I call it that since it still might fail) as some kind of giant happy family and the UK being the unhappy, ungrateful child is grossly inaccurate.

The EU project has been in trouble and under pressure for a while now. I'm 100% convinced this is only the first domino to fall.
Global Economic Summit: Obama (live)
I never got the quest for punishment for actions like this.

They did something bad, the community reacted negatively. If they fix the problem, rewarding them is going to make sure it sticks around.

Continuing to "punish" them for something they fixed only sends the message that the fix was pointless and that it would have been better to ignore the problem like so many other companies (including Facebook themselves) do.
If the extra initial scrutiny is perceived to streamline the process and avoid further hassles, many will hand it over without giving it a second thought.

For example, many people have voluntarily submitted fingerprints in order to enroll in TSA's PreCheck.

Contrary to my usual opinion about the US Federal Government's "cyber-tactics," this actually seems like a good thing.

I'd rather that fewer people understand how to break tor, as opposed to more. There's a middle ground which may be better, but on the open-source/classified spectrum I'm a little right-leaning on this one. Thoughts?
See, this is why everyone hates businesses and businesspeople. They say they "owe nothing to the city/state/province/country", yet still expect all these places to bend over backwards for them at the expense of the people living there.

Maybe your business should give reason for why it should exist, and why anyone should care about it first.

>I don't understand how average Americans can buy into this idea that Trump is some kind of outsider.

It's because Trump is politically incorrect. He dresses like the just got off shift at the factory and makes jokes about his dick size and most importantly, when he speaks, he doesn't come off as being more informed or articulate than his supporters.

All it takes for a politician to convince Americans they're not part of the "elite," is to act like a convincing caricature of "the common man."

Benevolent dictatorship. Someone who can think better than mostly everyone and is dedicated to service to the nation above all else.

In theory (s)he always makes the best decision because (s)he is not swayed by excess emotion and is able to keep the best interest of the nation in view at all times.

Another option arises if we have a truly objective test of benevolent rationality (yes I just made that term up now), then we could weight votes by this measure; this will change political rhetoric from emotional to rational and it would encourage all members of society to become more rational.
Yes, I just mentioned it to him too! Thanks.
On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other

That's a very good example, but on the other hand fingerprints aren't likely to accidentally "incriminate" you.

Coming into the USA, if I saw that on a form my first instinct would be that not providing it reduces the risk of accidentally getting flagged for something ridiculous. I'd hate to be pulled aside for extra screening because a tweet from 6 years ago included the word 'explosion' in it.

Actors are based on message-passing as well. The paradigm favored by Go and Erlang is CSP, which is a pretty interesting idea that revolves around message-passing, but it doesn't have a monopoly on the practice.
Not me. I'd rather have many people know how to break TOR so that it actually gets fixed. Having one entity with the knowledge of a vulnerability helps no one but themselves.
Sorry, but you are very misinformed about current events in Poland, as well as the broader geopolitical context. The current party has for the most part used methods that have been employed by every government in Poland since 1989. Purging the national media is standard practice (please see what the previous party did, or the numerous shocking scandals it was involved in). Worth noting is that Polish media are owned (~80%) by German media conglomerates Bauer and Axel Springer which means that the mainstream media are largely pro-German. That is a far more worrying state of affairs than the recent tradition of purges and political jiggery-pokery. I won't get into all of the details, but Poland faces numerous challenges that the Western media never discuss, leaving Westerners horribly misinformed about what's actually happening or why it's happening. What Chomsky calls neoimperialism is very much a factor.
i havent really thought about that aspect really. would social logins (including: twitter, github, maybe reddit) help? or would you rather see some registration process so passive you dont even notice?

On the other hand being a member of the EU is very serious business from a constitutional point of view.

Given this point of view it seems just as reasonable to require a super majority for staying. I.e. unless the wast majority is comfortable with deligating (a very significant amount) of power to the EU, why should it be allowed?
to me it would far more insightfil to note a drop, then postulate as to why. The current situation is "welp its flat" - duh, thats been the news all 2016. Markets are nervous and everyine is waiting for a swing one way or the other and obviously a positive signak woild have to be much larger as people are risk averse.

Not so much in the language itself (I'm not a fan), but the process of embedding Lua and pushing data into a Lua context and pulling data out of a Lua context is so simple the first time I got it working I thought, "Surely I'm missing something, it can't be this easy." The ease of integration with C or C++ makes it worth strongly considering when you need an embedded scripting language. But, as I alluded to, Lua as a language is pretty awful. Lua's tables are an abomination in my eyes.

A few years ago I started a simple RPG game engine that uses Lua[0] as its scripting language. I never got very far with it but considering I had zero clue how to even begin approaching the problem when I started I'm pretty happy with how far I got before I lost interest.

I suppose the existence of the exploit could be a very VERY elaborate set of smoke and mirrors, but I doubt it. DC shoots from the hip just like everyone else.

"never attribute to malice that which can be attributed to incompetence." -Some Smart Guy IDK...Google it.
Personally, I think Lua's widespread use in game programming stems from it's performant design, paradigm flexibility, and the fact that it's not hard to embed into an existing project. There are other languages that have this mindset too, but I think Lua's been able to capture enough mindshare to be quite sticky in the industry.

I've met quite a few game programmers that don't like parts of Lua, and wish there was something that was closer to C++ rather than JavaScript.
It's also not exactly original to Go... the Ur language, for instance, employs a request-oriented collector (arguably, though the documentation claims it does not use garbage collection).
> less educated

Sorry, but the figures show that those who voted remain were not only older, but also less educated.

(https://yougov.co.uk/news/2016/06/21/yougov-referendum-model...)

And most of the evidence for the 'right choice' is clearly in the remain camp:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USTypBKEd8Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAgKHSNqxa8 (A bit uncouth, but the evidence he presents is pretty clear)

I was rather undecided, leaning towards remain, until I started examining the posts by my friends. I examined most of the quotes and figures they mentioned in each article. As a result, I think my 'leave' friends are insane, because I found all of the 'leave' articles were utterly disingenuous about their quotes. They repeatedly misquoted newspapers known for extremely poor (third rate) coverage, and some of the information was downright fabrication. On the other hand, the articles posted by my friends who supported the 'remain' camp frequently listed what I consider to be 'first rate' sources (The Office of National Statistics, etc.), and the quality of the information was much higher and truthful. I found only one or two misquotes, and no fabrications.

Obviously, that's purely anecdotal, but it seems to mirror the experiences that a lot of 'remain' voters have had.
It should be patched. Am I wrong?

The entire reasoning behind using tor is for anonymity, and we don't know what this exploit is exactly or how serious it is.
> Technically that's what classes gives you, not objects. But agreed on the sentiment.

No, that's what objects give you. Classes are merely one means of creating objects (others exist), but the benefits come from the objects, not their means of construction.

It doesn't verify the data is accurate and correct at the time of collection.

This was an exploit in Firefox, which may or may not have anything to do with Tor, but probably doesn't.

Releasing it would almost certainly lead to it being fixed very soon.

> I've heard yesterday that the referendum itself is non-binding, and that Parliament is still in charge of the final decision.

As I understand it, that's not strictly correct: triggering article 50 is an exercise of royal prerogative[0][1], so it is a matter for the PM and cabinet (or, rather, the monarch alone, who is bound by strong convention to adhere to the advice of the PM and cabinet in its exercise.) [2]

Once article 50 is triggered, the UK is out of the EU in 2 years under default terms unless either that term is extended by the EU (member states acting unanimously) and/or a UK/EU agreement on alternative terms is ratified before the period expires (which, again, requires the EU to be unanimous.)

The British parliament can block an exit agreement after Article 50 is triggered, but that just leaves the UK with the default exit terms.

There's also elements of its relations with European institutions that are written into Britain's domestic law; Parliament could drag its feet on repealing those, but that wouldn't keep the UK in the EU it would make the UK a non-EU nation that choose to remain subject to some EU rules and institutions.

The general rule of thumb is that trust is easier to lose than to establish, and that punishment should far exceed the crime. Absent that, the "ask forgiveness" strategy tends to take hold, requiring relentless vigilance and generally wasting everyone's time.
Here's the thing: if you look at how the UK welfare system treats (say) the younger people who lose their jobs or suffer accidents or illness that stops them from working compared with how it treats the elderly, and pay attention to the politics behind it, or if you think about the emphasis on ensuring house price growth and who benefits, or... the comment you're replying to is an exaggeration of what already happens.

That was my impression, thank you.
That... isn't how any of this works. The reason you're negotiating in the first place is because each side is holding chips. If the weaker side had to give in to the stronger's every demand, it would not be called negotiation.

"... As part of the inquiry, USGS convened a Scientific Integrity Review Panel to further investigate the matter. The report of inquiry concluded that the laboratory had a “chronic pattern of scientific misconduct” and that “data produced by the Inorganic Section were intentionally manipulated by the line-chemist in charge.” The identified issues predominantly affected coal and water quality research and related assessments." from 2nd paragraph, Pg. 7
> I'd rather that fewer people understand how to break tor, as opposed to more.

Then you should be opposed to this! If the fbi shares the exploit, tor will patch it. As is, this vulnerability in tor puts its users at risk, both from the fbi and from anyone else who has found the exploit.

I'd like to see this tried, along with a couple of wrinkles. Could information from the escape analysis done by the Golang compiler be used to provide "hints" to the garbage collector to make it more efficient? Could such hints be combined with further hints from the programmer, such as "finalize" calls or tags? Could runtime tracing information be used to derive even more hints for more efficient GC?
I'm proposing that a supermajority should be required for changes either way. Since the UK is already in the EU, you'd need a supermajority to leave. This builds some hysteresis into the system to reduce short-term swings.

Note that a referendum was held shortly after the UK joined the EC, and that was 67% in favor of it.
The defendant has a legal right to be present, and to see all the evidence presented against them, even if they're neither allowed to receive "classified" information nor bound to not disclose it. So no, classified evidence is not evidence.

If you can't make a case against someone without classified information, decide which you care more about: the classification of the information, or the conviction.
UK or US markets? The S&P 500 is down 3% at the moment, that's not panic. Panic is more like 10 - 20% in a day (UK was down 9% at one point), or 5% every day for a week like in 2008.

That's fair - * args and * * kwargs does feel like a hack, although denoting "zero or more" as * has a bit of tradition. I'd have to disagree with list/dict comprehension, pretty natural considering e.g Javascript/JSON also use [] / {} for each, respectively (Obviously completely subjective).

I also get that there's only so many symbols to pick from. Would have been cool if it was *, which is already used for arguments.

I think my larger point is that even the small decisions when making a language matter. There isn't really right/wrong or better/worse, but IMO Python operators feel more cohesive/uniform than Ruby or Perl. Also, describing how operator usage feels is hard.

Yes, on a small number of nodes it works in a handful of use cases. That isn't the same as it being equal and equivalent in terms of reliability at scale.

They resorted to weird hack-y shit for something I use MySQL or Postgres for on a regular basis. So have most people who built stuff on Redis like this:
