The UK isn't a protectionist state, they'll do what they can to ensure global free trade. Firstly, to keep access to the EU's 'single market', and secondly to attempt agile free trade with other countries around the world.

It'll be interesting to look in 10 years and see who is more protectionist and less open.
When used liked that it's synonymous with request. If heard it often used as "that's a big ask". Some example usages[1] since you seem a bit skeptical.

If you're a straight 1099 / sole proprietor as an individual you can set up a SEP IRA. If you establish an LLC you can create a simple-IRA. Both of these allow you contribute money tax deferred and are much easier to manage than a 401k. Plus, you can trade them like any other brokerage account.

The EU has done an extremely bad job of signing trade deals. Much smaller countries have managed to do a much better job. I wouldn't look at the EU and say "we need the same setup" because the EU deliberately makes it hard for itself to sign deals by insisting that they try to satisfy 28 different countries simultaneously, who don't use the same language and which all have their own random domestic priorities to handle.

I've actually read trade deals. The idea that there's only a handful of people in the world who can negotiate these things is ridiculous.
People keep talking about how the UK will be able to negotiate its own market access deals after brexit. What that means in practice is that if TTIP goes ahead it will be the only route to US trade deals.

Also TTIP is the kind of think I can see a Conservative government signing up to immediately. The UK is far more "free market" than the rest of Europe.
That's assuming tax revenue remains the same, which all economists agree will not be the case.

Whether or not Brexit will boost public finances is entirely down to how much of an impact it'll have on the UK economy. No one knows what the impact will be, but almost everyone agrees that it will be negative... though no one agrees to what extent.

So there's really two questions here: a) just how much more/less public money will be available? and, b) if there is more, how much of it will go to research?

No one knows the answers to either question, not even the government.

edit: a very quick back-of-envelope calculation based on the forecast tax receipts for 2014-2015 of 648.1bn[1]: 8.5bn makes up a whopping 1.31% of tax receipts. Unless I'm mistaken, tax receipts correlate strongly with the strength of the economy, so any more than a ~1.3% decline in the economy as a consequence of Brexit, would consume the "savings".

Even if the UK had the people to start trade negotiations right this second, they're not allowed to until they leave the EU and it takes years to negotiate such an agreement.

It would take decades for the UK to catch up to the EU on trade agreements again, if they ever do.
This idea will develop in two different ways. First of all, it will give a push to Singapore technology. Such program lead to new ideas and unusual things creation. On the other hand, chatbots will be interesting for users. This fact will breed more popularity and bring more investitions.
I suppose in a sense, it's easier to enforce policies through a library than it is to tell a dev "do this" or "don't do that'".

I'm not a front-end developer either (so my JavaScript experience is a bit limited), but with the back-end code that I work on with my team, enforcing policies can be a bit tricky. It's pretty easy for things to slip through in a pull request that are against policy, and it's kind of hard to automatically check for policy violations. When forcing someone to use an API, at least you can somewhat guarantee that the API follows the policy.
The Silicon Valley Investors You Need to Know in 2016
But, on the other hand, companies are throwing away countless dollars on bad software. The problem is that it's relatively easy to write code to make something look somewhat functional, but it's a different level to complete it. The mistakes of the quick approaches take time to show, and then it becomes too late. It takes way more time and money to fix the issues, later.

This has been a debate that's been going on for decades. There's the camp that wants software to get to the rigor of other engineering domains. But, there are a lot more who don't. Personally, I think we should be cautious. Software is such a subjective and broad field that it would be harmful to emulate the methods of other engineering domains.

That said, I have seen a trend over the last decade of 'juniors' disregarding the wisdom and experience of 'seniors'. Maybe it's because we are too slow, too methodical, not well informed on what's new or recently hyped. Maybe we are more strict, more ambivalent (seeing everything as trade offs), or maybe we are just not fun. Who knows? But, it's incredibly frustrating to continuously fix poorly developed systems. It's irritating to give advice and guidance, only to have it disregarded because some celebrity consultant, blogger, or tweeter invented another silver bullet.

Contrary to what some may think, it's really not fun to be able to say, 'I told you so.'. It just means that we have another mess to clean up.

But, back to the topic at hand, when I hire a 'senior', I expect them to not require lots of guidance, make good decisions, not break anything, have a breadth of experience, be an awesome team players, be calm and tenacious, be able to pick up new things with ease, and have fundamental understanding of the whole stack, algorithms, and data structures.

It's been an organizing practice for states for a long time. On the loose end, you have treaty organizations, and on the strict end, you have states mutually agreeing to cede power to a federal authority. The EU was somewhere in the middle.

FWIW this tends to happen with smaller employers that are scrimping on administrative fees. I've found that the situation is generally improving though as people become more aware of what a great 401k plan should look like.

I've also learned to not worry about it so much. You'll generally only stay at an individual employer for a few years. After that you can roll over a 401k into a low fee IRA held by Vanguard (or whomever you prefer). In the end a few years of high fees with a relatively small $ balance shouldn't negatively impact your returns too much. Of course if you're one of those rare folks who spends a decade or more with a single employer you might want to think about things here differently.

WTO max tariffs (worst case scenario) are 4%. But the currency has weaked by about 8%. So even if max tariffs are applied tomorrow, UK goods are still cheaper to buy in the EU than before!

In practice, if the EU doesn't strike a deal with the UK (which it won't) then I think it will suffer more exits. Because the EU has spent years trying to sign free trade deals with America, Canada and other places. If it turns around and says "we will give those countries tariff-free access to our markets but not the UK" this will send a powerful message to all EU citizens that this is not an organisation with their best interests at heart.
We all know this. The UK has been funding a bureaucracy in the EU that in turn funds projects in impoverished areas of the UK (amongst others). It will need to replace that bureaucracy; the transaction and planning costs on everything on the drawing board to in progress right now, will not be cheap, quite apart from the direct funding costs. The replacement bureaucracy probably won't be cheaper either, since it will have less efficiencies of scale and less institutional experience.

In short, "nobody can know what will happen" is expensive; it directly implies that the immediate short term will be costly.
$8/month = $96/year, not $56.
as no policies have been announced yet, nobody can know what will happen

Yes, and this is the short-term disaster of Brexit: much investment goes on hold until we know what will happen.

It might be better in the long run, but we have no idea what the long run will look like at the moment because there was no Brexit manifesto and a serious conflict between the "EEA" Brexit and the anti-immigrant Brexit.

Okay, lying about what's inside a can of food is nothing short of fraud, that is, not fulfilling your contractual obligation to the buyer properly, even worse if it's intentionally. I don't want to abolish contracts, that would be ridiculous.

However, what goes on between a game company and PewDiePie, in monetary but also in other terms, is their private matter. I don't see a reason why it should be illegal to pay PewDiePie to be enthusiastic about the game when it's actually garbage. No contract was violated here. PewDiePie is not an authority on this game and what he says matters not for any purchase contract. So people who are mislead by him are fools themselves for relying on random internet stuff.
> The Wright brothers' main innovations were: a workable system for steering, and a motor with sufficiently high specific power.

And an airframe that could work with both of those. Langley, for example, had an engine that weighed about the same as the Wrights', but put out 50 horsepower to their 12. But the Aerodrome collapsed on takeoff, rendering that power useless. The Wrights had a mechanically simpler design that was strong enough to cope with aerodynamic forces.
usually the horizon for bringing new laws into action are declared ahead of time by 4-5 years to give people/businesses time to plan.

There's a legal requirement as part of the Lisbon treaty that as soon as a country invokes Article 50 (leaving the EU) they have 2 years to negotiate treaties with all parties involved, after which all existing EU treaties with that country cease to apply. That means, from the day the government invokes Article 50, there is a maximum of 2 years access to EU funding for any science project in the UK. Any project that will take longer than that has pretty much zero chance of getting funded in the first place. Given the fact that Theresa May might invoke Article 50 on Thursday, getting a long term project funded is going to be impossible.

Yeah, around here commercial radio means ClearChannel, which means it's run by robots.

Of course there is satellite radio, but it turns out that's all ClearChannel too so no improvement.

All of the locally owned/operated radio stations were bought out many years ago. It's just cheaper to have programming piped in from the corporate headquarters instead of hiring local DJs.

The only terrestrial radio I listen to now is NPR, and even they have some issues.
Show HN: Simple coop game to demonstrate Club (decentralized networking) library
Few weeks back I posted here a link to Club library I've been working on.

https://github.com/inetic/club

It is a library for decentralized networking designed (not only) for computer games with the main goal to avoid paying for game servers.

People asked me whether it can be used for real time multiplayer games and since there wasn't a game using it already I hesitated to give a yes/no answer.

Since then I started to work on this little game. It is a space shooter game with ugly graphics with the main goal to showcase Club.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sicoop

Given that Club is still in its alpha stage, I think the result is good. When players connect using WiFi I was able to play with 4 players simultaneously. I had problems when I connected through my mobile carries because my mobile internet is slow and Club currently lacks a congestion control mechanism.

Why Some SaaS Companies Stall Out at $20m ARR
In a certian way of thinking, an externally persistent meaning is just an enforcement mechanism for slavery. When people talk about wanting to serve something bigger than themselves, they are implying that they aren't worth serving, that they can only achieve value by contributing to something, anything which is not like themselves. Is this personal devaulation necessary for a satisfying life?

Another attitude is to embrace existence as we come into it, to love ourselves as we are. We can still love other people and things that are not like us. Appreciation for the world can even be enhanced by beginning with embracing ourselves as we are because we're part of the world and it's part of us. When we make the world a better place, we make our world a better place. Selfish behavior is almost always short-sighted behavior. When we expand our perception of the universe, the difference between self and other is weaker than it might seem.

An interesting read! Unfortunately the author omits the mindblowing (at least for me) proof of why the series

Z(s) = 1 + 1/(2^s) + 1/(3^s) + 1/(4^s) + ...

is equal to the infinite product over the terms "1/(1-p^(-s))", with one term for each prime number p.

This proof does not need a lot of math [1], and if you know the formula for a geometric series, you can also "prove it" by hand-waving: Each term in the product is a geometric series, and if you multiply all these series out, the result is a sum over all possible permutations of prime-factored numbers (well, the inverses of them). Since each natural number has exactly one such represnetation, it's effectively a sum over all 1/(n^s).

Of course, you need some rigor to show that you are actually allowed to rearrange terms of an infinite product of inite sums like that...

> "Verifying the proof does require checking it against copies of the messages the server received. So with Riffle, users send their initial messages to not just the first server in the mixnet but all of them, simultaneously. Servers can then independently check for tampering."

So every packet has to be sent to every server in the network? That's going to cause some scaling problems.

It's especially curious that they mention file sharing as an application, because if the above is true this would be even less fit for that purpose than Tor. Maybe for low-bandwidth stuff like messaging.

EDIT: From the paper, "However, each Riposte client must submit a message proportional to thesquare root of the size of the whole database (i.e., collection of all clients' data), making it unsuitable for sharing large messages among many clients"

It goes on to describe use cases like microblogging and messaging. So I guess it's just the article author misrepresenting the thing.

But of course that means staying in the EEA for the moment at least; which means freedom of movement, EU regulations, but now with much reduced influence... CETA for example took 5.5 years to negotiate and of course it still needs to be ratified.

On the other hand if the UK leaves the EU and the EEA then under EU rules it will need to wait until it fully leaves before it can negotiate a CETA style trade agreement. In the mean time one could assume that UK / EU trade would follow WTO norms.

[EDIT] fixed typo
The UK can negotiate deals before exit, just under EU law it can't sign them.

However, why obey EU rules when you're about to leave? The only reason to do this would be to leave on good terms. But the EU sees Brexit as a betrayal that must be punished severely to try and scare other countries into not leaving. There are no "good terms" by their choice, not the UK's.

So the UK should start immediately violating whatever EU rules are convenient to do so, once Article 50 is invoked.
"...the research will start to dry up and the interesting researchers will leave with it. Take away the research and what's left is a department of third-rate lecturers. That's not an inspiring way to learn."

Schools should get back to the proper job of teaching students. Research is best done by private institutions with their own funding. Government education funding should be used for education proper, not fluffing a featherbed for Nobel laureates.
