The proposals for the big EU calls like Horizon 2020 contain detailed work packages and plans for how the research effort is going to be orchestrated to be successful. To my knowledge, the quality of this planning is a decisive factor in the acceptance of a proposal.

If a research partner drops out halfway through the project, the whole effort may fall apart - and with research institutions and industrial partners booking the alloted funds each month, such a failure is hard to justify for any EU officer.

Of course, it is ridiculous to simply require that the UK partners be dropped from the project without a significant change of plan or adequate substitution.

Edit: Also, the aim of these projects is always to strengthen industry or scientific progress in the participating countries - so politically, if the UK really drops out this would be giving something for free to a competitor.
It would be awesome if you just listed which funds you support somewhere on your site. I imagine this is a question that will come up again and again.
Working together on EU projects is significantly easier than getting other sources of (large) funding internationally.

5 Reasons Why You Should Be Using Promises
Yeah, you did not understand what he wrote. He specially mentions his program in North Wales which relies on EU funding.
Meaning is what you feel when you act and others benefit, regardless of the effect that action has on you. Happiness is when you benefit, regardless of who acted or why.

In order to have a happy, meaningful life, you have to contribute to people who accept you and have those efforts reciprocated.

Lots of smart people find survival in the selfish sense very trivially easy. If you do not seek out opportunities to contribute, you will lack meaning in your life. And if those opportunities do not challenge you, you will lack meaning in your life.

We are an interdependent species. Not great white sharks (independent) and not ants (dependent).
> "If so, then it's just wrong, because all human feelings are results of biochemical processes inside a brain. They arise in exact situations and they are predictable as patterns. So, we can define feelings and analyze them to the point where we can see how they are building and what is causing one or another."

I doubt we know enough about these processes to make such a claim. For example, will one set of patterns always result in envy, or can the patterns behind envy also produce adoration?

Furthermore, with what we think of as the 'mind', what influence does it have over the response of the 'body'. In practice these may be one and the same thing, but phenomena related to 'mind over matter' definitely seem to exist. For example, practitioners of tummo can voluntarily alter their body temperature:

Without a deeper understanding of the relationship between the mind and the body, I wouldn't want to make any claims about how deterministic our minds are.

It is my understanding that a large percentage of NI are employed in the UK civil service. The ROI is simply not in a position to provide the same, so they would become unemployed. Its not so much that it does or doesn't run at a deficit, its that it would be a major cost to ROI when ROI already is still dealing with its own financial problems and people are already unhappy about the additional taxes and charges the government keep trying to introduce.

> One university said it had serious concerns about its ability to recruit research fellows for current projects.

I have heard rumblings of researchers' reluctance to work in the UK due to concerns about funding availability in 3 years. No one I know personally, but I have heard that active offers are being reconsidered.

If the UK can demonstrate a commitment to funds, that would mitigate the reluctance, but given recent events uncertainty is high to say the least. And science is uncertain enough already. Put another way, the UK might have to commit much more resources to attract researchers than before, to compensate for the added risk.
Interestingly enough that is being discussed on the front page of HN right now! That is if you have not already seen this.

Your reply starts with "but", but I don't see the contrast with anything I said? My comment specifically notes that cousin marriage as a recurring practice causes much bigger problems than a single case of cousin marriage in isolation. That note is more than half of the entire comment.

Fun fact: people like to present Charles II as the inevitable result of ongoing inbreeding, but he was noticeably less inbred than more competent historical rulers. Amenhotep I and his great wife had, between them, two parents, two grandparents, and two great-grandparents. Unsurprisingly, he and his great wife turned out not to produce any viable children. Unsurprisingly, that line also experienced early death outside of combat. But surprisingly, they don't seem to have been plagued by mental difficulties at all; as best we can tell from the record, they were very strong kings.

If there is no afterlife, then I'm immortal: the end of my life is equivalent to the end of the universe, end of time. And in my infinite (!) life I associate certain understandings to certain things and certain events: that's meaning. This is not particularly an illusion, as it's real and there in my mind, and one way or another, abstract things exist. The illusion is the universal phenomenon itself, a spectacle we briefly assist and affect.

If there is an afterlife, I'm immortal. Thus again meaning exists, this time so in accordance with your definition thereof.

Therefore, meaning exists.
So the EU payments were taxed? By whom?
The UK is a net payer to the EU. For instance in 2015 alone, UK's net payment to the EU was about 8.5 billion pounds.

So after the Brexit there will be more than enough money to continue the research funding. But as you mention already, it is another question if the government will be wanting to pay it.
But is this really such a bad thing? The difference will that instead of the EU, the UK itself will decide which of its research projects it wants to fund.
As an aside, I got a free SiriusXM trial with my new car, and the sound quality is terrible compared to FM. I was honestly reminded of the MP3s I got from Kazaa and burned to a CD in 2003, you can hear the aggressive compression.
Yup, and only naively accounts for the cash flow. It doesn't consider any of the downstream benefits of the single market, free movement, or coherent continental legislation which together will completely swamp the measly £140m/week net cash contribution we make.
That telemetry graph looks odd, dates filtered from 2016/03/03 to 2016/04/07 but "Number of dates" is "3".

It isn't that simple. There isn't a linear relationship between the tax % and the revenue to the treasury. Lower taxes encourage more companies to set up in the UK.

We saw this recently in the UK when the top rate of income tax was raised to 50% and the income to the treasury actually fell.

EU regulations on algorithmic decision-making and a “right to explanation”

Bryce Goodman, Seth Flaxman

We summarize the potential impact that the European
Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation
will have on the routine use of machine
learning algorithms. Slated to take effect as law
across the EU in 2018, it will restrict automated
individual decision-making (that is, algorithms
that make decisions based on user-level predictors)
which “significantly affect” users. The
law will also create a “right to explanation,”
whereby a user can ask for an explanation of an
algorithmic decision that was made about them.
We argue that while this law will pose large challenges
for industry, it highlights opportunities for
machine learning researchers to take the lead in
designing algorithms and evaluation frameworks
which avoid discrimination.

From the regulation:

Article 11. Automated individual decision making

1. Member States shall provide for a decision based
solely on automated processing, including profiling,
which produces an adverse legal effect concerning the
data subject or significantly affects him or her, to
be prohibited unless authorised by Union or Member
State law to which the controller is subject and which
provides appropriate safeguards for the rights and
freedoms of the data subject, at least the right to obtain
human intervention on the part of the controller.

2. Decisions referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article
shall not be based on special categories of personal
data referred to in Article 10, unless suitable measures
to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and
legitimate interests are in place.

3. Profiling that results in discrimination against natural
persons on the basis of special categories of personal
data referred to in Article 10 shall be prohibited, in
accordance with Union law.
Yeah, the Russian media certainly plays a big role in this, and while I can't speak for all of them, many of the Russians and Ukrainians I've spoken to are incredibly cynical about it. They see democracy as a farce used by the ruling class to manipulate people, because that's what it's been in their world, and instead they would rather have a strong and competent dictator.
Yes, lower salary but lower cost of living. Dublin is expensive by Irish standards, but its not SV-expensive. If you work somewhere that doesn't require you to live in Dublin or Cork, then you can cut costs drastically (I live in the midlands in a 3 bedroom house and it costs me about 60% of a one-bed apartment in Dublin).
Finally tabs! This is an awesome feature. Now they just need to pop out so I can drag them to another screen.
Marketing is even worse at naming things! You don't see programmers having 2 weeks of meetings to come up with a terrible, terrible name and still feeling good about themselves afterwards.
You can't deny there will be less funding, given the amount of funding we receive from the EU. Though hopefully the new PM will prioritise investment in research and hopefully given the strong technology sector in the UK CompSci will get a reasonable share of it. But that's still to be seen and given May's attitude toward technology experts and level of knowledge during the discussions around the Snoopers Charter I'm sceptical of her understanding and appreciation of the importance of the technology sector.
What about using the hash part of the URL (#) instead of the query part (?)? That doesn't get sent to the server. Although you still have to trust that a script on the page isn't reading that information and shuttling it off somewhere else--but then, you're already trusting Facebook code anyway.

Well, for example all the bad stuff TTIP will bring the rest of Europe? Everybody here is pissed about TTIP. Now the Brits vote to get into a position to do something about such undemocratic bs and suddenly they are the bad guys? I see the pro-EU marketing campaign in which all the smart, rich and famous people that you should want to be like, say pro EU things, is working well. Even among the intellectual HN crowd.

All this anti UK sentiment is caused by fear mongering from the pro-EU lobby. The Brits are our friends, but just like the Russians, they don't dance to the tune of the power hungry EU bureaucrats and the propaganda machine is suddenly aimed in their direction.
And if it's innovative in a technical sense, then choose innovative technology. If it's merely innovative in a business sense, then it doesn't matter what you choose.
I presume not because IIUC the actual video decoding would be handled by iOS's built in webkit. However I would expect that some rust components would make it to the iOS Firefox in the future.

So were they not "barred from failing to make" these mandatory disclosures previously?

I wonder what the world would be like if the laws people had to follow had this same pattern of "You broke the rules? Well your punishment is that you now have to really actually follow the rules next time."
> I wonder if Firefox will slowly become written in mostly Rust.

I doubt that will ever happen. Small parts of Firefox, yes, but the browser is enormous. I think I once read that even Servo, which is a showcase for Rust, has more C/C++ code in it than Rust code, largely because it uses Firefox's JS engine.
That's net of money paid to the UK by the EU. Like the aforementioned Welsh CS funding.

As a founder who tried to apply and build a couple of consortiums with my previous startup, for FP7 and Horizon2020 project funding, I totally understand the fears. This is the key part of the article:

> Only 12% of bids for Horizon 2020 funds are successful, a rate that falls by more than half in highly competitive areas. Given the low probability of winning funds at the best of times, Gorman said it was natural risk aversion to be cautious of UK partners. UK politicians simply don’t understand this, and think it is ‘business as usual’, at least until negotiations have been completed. They are wrong, the problems start right now

Brexit could endanger a whole project if british companies are members of your consortium. There's quite a bit of research money at stake, and some companies depend a lot on this kind of funding.

Once you find the companies that are going to partner with you and apply, then starts a long journey together, of several years (2 to 5) until the projects are finished... you can't just start the projects, and "do business as usual" and then see how UK companies are forced to abandon ship after few months for political reasons. The projects could collapse, and this is too much uncertainty.

IMO until the doubts are 100% cleared and we have a new EU <-> UK treaty for science collabs in place, many EU companies will be reluctant to partner with UK companies/institutions. Brexit is bad for UK research and UK scientists knew this...

Knee-jerk or not, the UK should expect retaliation, even when it disadvantages both parties. This referendum (even its existence let alone result) is driving in a wedge that will take decades to reach full effect, let alone remove. Leavers say "Sure, that's expected, but we'll be stronger once all that has died down." Remainers, like myself, do not.

Firefox for iOS itself is written in Swift.
Are you sure it's rolled out for everyone? I have been trying to find it (web & mobile app) for weeks and can't find it... I know there was a bunch of press about it in February 2016, but I don't see it in the UI.
The EU doesn't "fund" anything, the UK funds the EU by paying in more than it gets back out. It's literally the UK's own money being recycled through Brussels, except with extra rules and exchange rate risks thrown in.

Whether or not research funding is cut is an entirely open question right now. Maybe it will be: the EU has effectively been overriding the austerity policies everyone else in the economy has had to deal with, and academias has benefited from that. But as no policies have been announced yet, nobody can know what will happen.
"More than enough money" (and certainly the figures I've seen people bandying about) assumes that the cost of accessing the EU market (which I think we will have to pay) would be zero. I think it will be a significant proportion of the amount we were paying (net) to the EU, and in addition there will be other costs which people are just starting to cotton onto as well.

The main thing is that at the moment, we really have no idea at all what the financial costs will be - particularly of accessing the EU market - and until we do then a lot of this must hang in the balance.
Are you questioning the part of the article you quoted? Because I don't see it being very controversial. The companies getting money are Niantic and the Pokemon Company (which is part-owned by Nintendo). And I guess Google who takes a cut of in-app purchases.
