You're talking about a government that recently made computer programming class a mandatory part of the high school curriculum. Your leap from "UK exits the EU" to "there will no longer be funding for computer science research" is based purely on your own emotions, not rational analysis. Like so much else I hear from pro-EU people these days.
Yes, I notice a number of overweight people who claim that their bodies defy physics.

> Private, endowment […] funds can make up for the EU

Ah, yes. Private charities providing public services, the driving force behind the rise of communism in the 19th century.

> Getting out from under EU regulations and negotiating as a free agent is a better deal for most Brits.

People keep saying that, but why? Britain is now in a much worse negotiation position than before.
Could you specify some of the "EU regulations" that we should be getting out from under?
When is Britain loosing money?
Regarding Portugal, all I can see is a really nice investment [1] and being paid back with [2].
Which means EU lenders are actually profiting.

Great. Now make the journey from here to there.
Growth non-existent? Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but this would suggest otherwise... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_European_Union#...
I guess I have some problems understanding the situation.

Here's my understanding:
Before the court ruling several countries claimed the Spratleys to be part of their country. This includes the Phillipines which have included the Spraytleys as the municipality Kalayaan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalayaan,_Palawan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ph_Territorial_Map.png

Now the court has ruled all those claims void ("None of the fiercely disputed Spratly Islands, the UN body found, were “capable of generating extended maritime zones" in the article). However still large parts of the Spratleys lie in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
Rust was supported from the start by Mozilla in order to enable the construction of an experimental browser engine (ie. Servo) that was completely separate from Gecko and Firefox. Afaik, there was never any explicit goal at the beginning to rebuild things in Firefox - this is just the result of how successful the language project has been.
Not if they use your money to buy things from your country.
Shameless plug: I've been running a 2FA service since 2011 now called GAuthify (https://www.gauthify.com/) that makes it pretty trivial as well!
I'm sure it'll help, but the fundamental problem with solar powered aircraft is that one pound of solar panel can lift barely more than one pound. That means saving weight on the motor can cut out a lot of solar panels, of course, but it also means you still need a ton of solar panels just to lift the structure of the aircraft and the payload.

I don't think we'll see cheap solar drones anytime soon. Current solar aircraft need to be gigantic and fly extremely slowly. Small drones typically want to be quadcopters, which are inherently inefficient, but have other nice properties. If you want a solar-powered small drone, make a stationary solar array, give the drone a swappable battery pack, and charge batteries with the stationary array while different batteries are powering the drone.
Not everyone should learn to code, just as not everyone should become a chef.
Not everyone will need to program,
not everyone will be inclined to learn it and not everyone will enjoy it.

This bothers me a lot.

I see it quite frequently that "Not everyone should learn to code". Especially with comparisons to other professions...

As if "Knowing how to code" is the same as "Being a chef"...

"Not everyone will need to program", in the same sense the not everyone will need to know how to cook?

It's true, you don't have to in this day and age. But for it's bloody helpful if you do...

Don't get me wrong, not everyone should be a software developer.

But the considering that you use things that run on code every single day,
for the majority of your waking time,
it'd probably be a decent idea to know the basics.

In the same sense that if you are a car driver,
having some basic knowledge of the rules of the road and a basic understanding of physics,
while not necessary to drive, is still bloody helpful.

Now, to comment, as a developer, on the article, it's still good and the part about tutorials is so very true it hits almost a bit too close to home.

Find a tutorial that assumes you're 5. Learn conditionals, understand them. Learn loops, understand them. One. Step. At. A. Time.

Also, the first point just isn't true. I've spent quite some time teaching kids code and Everyone can learn how to code. Even that dyslexic kid with ADD that's chasing the squirrel during class.

Not everyone can get GOOD at writing code. And being a developer isn't for everyone. But LEARNING HOW TO CODE, is something Everyone can do.
Dutch Sandwich and Double Irish has been discontinued. It will be completely finished by 2020. To suggest it's still going in full swing is a little disingenuous as the info by itself is a little outdated. That applies to a limited number of companies.

I think his point was that Ireland tends to tax the workers rather than the companies. So those companies are still a benefit to the country.
I agree. One workaround is to identify with your family or humanity instead of just yourself, then there is a shot at immortality. There are lots of instances of individuals dying in service of a greater good, such as the amoeba Dictyostelid, which when food runs out, climb on top of each other to form a stalk and then die, allowing the rest to climb to the top and form a spore which then explodes and spreads the rest of the amoeba toward greener pastures. Depending on the lifecycle stage, the Dictyostelid takes on the form of a group of individuals, a single animal-like creature, or a single plant like creature. Pretty amazing.

Capitalism and technology are fundamentally opposed forces. Unless we change our ways, as technology matures, we will see economic disparity grow to previously unimagined proportions. Technology will continue to automate jobs and consolidate wealth, this is why we must embrace democratic socialism.
I believe the Philippines did actually ask the Tribunal to rule on the status of Itu Aba, for exactly the reason you mention. The Philippines also argued that it was not.

I'm reading the ruling now and it appears the Tribunal based its decision on Itu Aba lacking a "stable community of people." I think most observers expected the opposite decision based on the fresh water on Itu Aba and its capacity to support human habitation.

I do agree though that this is probably the one point in the ruling I disagree with.
Which post-1.0 breaking changes were you worried about? This is technically correct, but we've managed it in a way that's been hopefully painless to deal with, and the community survey seemed to agree.
Personally I have found the opposite.
You are a (1,0)-child to your father (who is a (0,1)-parent to you). Your father is either (2,3)-cousin or (3,2)-cousin to the other person. It is ambiguous from the terminology. So you are either (3,3)-cousin or (4,2)-cousin to them. That is second cousin for the former and first cousin twice removed for the latter.
If private endowment wanted to fund those researchers - they would have already done so, since they respond to market forces and not on charity towards North Wales.

The reason why the EU was providing funding was because market forces were unwilling to.

I meant written with uncontrollable anger, rather stating in a calm and coherent manner what they're angry about.
> I think that the reaction will be simply to adopt minimal changes in the short term in ways in which Euro treaties and laws are brought wholesale onto Westminster statute books

Assuming countries are willing to grant the UK alone the same terms as the EU as a whole, and don't (ab)use this chance to negotiate a better situation for themselves.
So tell the EU to let British universities continue to participate regardless of EU membership.

If you believe they will say no for purely political reasons, then there's the problem. There are lots of academic collaborations that span the globe. It's only the EU that artificially ties quantum computing research to immigration policies.

Reinstated?
But the Pokémon Go economy also has some real downsides. One
has to do with regional inequality. Nintendo and its partners
are rumored to be earning more than $1 million per day from
Pokémon Go. That money is flowing away from small and medium
cities and toward big technology companies concentrated in big cities.

The author's argument's VERY short on providing facts.
Horizon 2020 is 80 billion euros and non-members of EU have to pay quite a lot of money to participate (Switzerland paid 2.2 billion CHF [1])

Either should be fine; caveat is the jussive subjunctive, and so the meaning is similar.
Their main objection is that Pokeman Go contributes to the concentration of wealth. Since all of the income is retained by the owning companies. In this way it does not distribute the wealth like movie theaters and autos do.
Hey this is the new world. We need to figure out how to deal with concentrated wealth since that is the future. It's like complaining how we are putting all of the spoked wheel makes out of business.
I agree with your sentiment, but a minor nitpick: [Stop using anchors as buttons!][1]

An anchor would be good here if the clicking the icons also triggered a URL change, but as it stands a button would be semantically most appropriate

Assuming your 3% number is correct (which I cannot find a source for), China's yearly gains will outpace ours in just under 10 years, overtaking us in raw GDP in 50 years.

That's taking your figures exactly, that is. I highly doubt Chinese GDP growth is at 3%. They might not be able to sustain 8%+ for much longer, but even a 6% annual growth would make their economy larger than the US's in under 13 years, with their annual $ addition to their economy already outpacing ours.
>"Instead, according to the complaint, Warner Bros. instructed influencers to place the disclosures in the description box appearing below the video. Because Warner Bros. also required other information to be placed in that box, the vast majority of sponsorship disclosures appeared “below the fold,” visible only if consumers clicked on the “Show More” button in the description box. In addition, when influencers posted YouTube videos on Facebook or Twitter, the posting did not include the “Show More” button, making it even less likely that consumers would see the sponsorship disclosures."

So a disclosure in the notes box below a video is not enough. I wonder what this will mean for the guys from CSGOLotto [0] who are caught up in a seemingly worse controversy of non disclosure and more.

>Meaning is whatever you want it to be.

That is basically the post-modern absurdist position on the meaning of life. Most people still believe in an external source of meaning (religion) that exists regardless of your personal opinion.
Kind of good for late capitalism if a bit of waste on a game is a major fault by now, then. Pokémon Go may not be a lasting contribution to culture, but compared with the past it's not at all bad. One generation ago we had the cold war. Two, we had the nazis and Stalin, their unrealistic utopias, and the resulting war. Three generations ago we had a world where most people were poor (ie. median income was far below average).
We've been doing a lot of work in this area, and some distros already have packages. Debian testing, for example.

Currently, I believe that this functionality is optional, so distros aren't required to actually ship it just yet.
> batteries where air participates in the reaction

Wouldn't that just be a fuel cell?
Making it easier for more people to move to San Francisco seems like not the best solution whatever problem he thinks he's identified.

Also, local businesses are making money from Pokemon Go, since a lot of the gyms and pokespots are local businesses.
What you are referring to is called WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts, used to be called CMAS), which originates from FEMA based on an FCC spec. It doesn't work off SMS, it's a separate protocol that basically delivers alerts that are affecting the area of the cell towers you are connected to at that time.

The system had a lot of issues when it was first rolled out but it's been improved and seems to work well these days, although there are still carriers/towers that don't support it yet.

They are actually working on expanding it with many additional alert types and increasing the amount of content an alert can contain. However, I have a feeling this will lead to even more people turning them off for good.
Because in software we build platforms that let the new developers stand on the shoulders of giants.

With Rails you can learn and build a web app in weeks. With AWS you can learn cloud architecture in months.

Spend two years focusing on the right tech, get sufficient depth, and you are an expert.

There are also infinite resources to help with this from books to blog posts to a culture of mentorsship in the work place.

Law and medicine should be so lucky.
Pokémon is one of the biggest franchises in the world. It's like the McDonald's of gaming, and the people that grew up consuming it are now in their 20s-30s and extremely active on Social Media.

Before major news outlets pick it up, micro-blogs, niche blogs for gaming, and other entertainment media outlets are going to publish stories about it, and the content writers of those sites are all the demographic that grew up with Pokémon, so it's no surprise really.
What does "replace" have to do with it? Why do you invent the most illogical option possible - that I never uttered - to find a counter argument?

Assuming that they ship another language in addition to Javascript would not be completely out of the question. While it seems that with WebAssembly that is no longer necessary, who knows what Mozilla, in search of future funding, may come up with to open new markets. They also tried creating their own OS for mobile - shipping Rust to further its adoption for whatever to me at the moment inconceivable reason is no less improbable.

So yes, I wasn't sure what to expect from the headline - it said they are "shipping Rust" after all, so something crazy was certainly within realm of possibility.
I don't doubt there are funds in the UK, but so far it's been far more common to rely on the EU for projects that require a longer or more nebulous time horizon, with little or no payback.

You only need to look at startup funding:

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/2016/06/24/2167618/the-risk-to-uk...

And you realize there will be repercussions for funding and endowments too.
It makes every bit of sense. When governments differ, the laws differ, and the free exchange of research money is slowed.

When you're in the same "club" you can be assured of how things will go. When a country decides that it wants to leave the club because they want to have their own rules that are different, and that they don't want to share finances, then that makes agreements take longer.
Unfortunately this doesn't include what kind of fine WB has to pay, that will come out later. I hope it's stiff. This kind of deception has to cost more than it benefits the company if they are going to be deterred from it.

Unfortunately at the moment this kind of thing is going on constantly, and even when there are disclosures that it's sponsored "reviews" the disclaimers are usually as subtle as possible.

Video games became the biggest entertainment industry in the last 20 years and as a result a lot of greedy people with no moral compass have flooded into it to cash in.

Except for...revenues are not going to stay the same.

For example, George Osborne has just proposed to slash the corp. tax rate from 20% to 15%, in order reduce (not eliminate) the almost certain reduction in UK investment.

Last year, CT net receipts were £ 42 billion[1]. At the current 20% rate. At 15%, that would be £ 31.5 billion, for a reduction of £ 10.5 billion. Let's divide that by 52 weeks and you get £ 200 million. Which happens to be £ 10 million more than the UK's net contribution to the EU budget.

So all your "savings" just evaporated just with corporation tax alone, and that's assuming that Osborne's plan works and there is no reduction in activity/investment, which is dubious.

That's a bit pessimist, isn't it? It's a little bit like saying that living is not worth it because you'll die anyway. I think what we do is not about an indefinite future impact or goal, but about the how it impacts us and the people around us today, right now.

I see meaning as something not like a hard drive, where you store data once you are done, but like RAM, where you read, write and modify on the fly, constantly, while the machine is powered on.

Sure, at some point the machine will be powered off you'll be gone, but meaning doesn't have to be everlasting to exist and have an impact.

The term "expert" in the referendum debate almost always meant economists and referred to the long range economic impacts.

You don't need to be an expert to know the EU will find all kinds of weird ways to try and "punish" the UK for leaving, you just have to listen to men like Juncker. Instead of convincing people their ideas are good, they are 100% focused on maximising the pain of disobeyed Brussels. None of these sorts of things were unexpected by anyone who voted out.
8 * 12 is 96, not 56.
The EU will not really negotiate using back channels, the only miracle the UK can hope for is that it would be deemed that a full vote in both houses is needed to invoke Article 50 and hopefully it would fail.
Holmes to remain at Theranos despite federal ban and gross negligence
Its to try to mitigate against a (generally state) adversary saving the session and waiting 10 years or more and then breaking the now weak encryption (ie rsa-2046 is projected to be "usable" until 2030 by NIST)

This is one of the reasons why the NSA (and other intelligence agencies around the world) have these huge data centers that essentially just store everything they collect. So that later they can retroactively go through and get a back story.
I do not agree that it is unethical to fire someone before three months, but it's not been an issue, I've neither had to do it that early. I do think it's more unethical to keep a person in a position for which they are not suited, though, regarding your responsibilities towards the company, to the worker in question, and to their co-workers.

I am up front about the process and the possibility it could end very early. I typically suggest to them that they start at 10hrs/wk while at their current job to see if they like the work. I've not found it difficult to hire people in this way.
Thanks for your support. I'm the founder of Guideline, Kevin. I just want to be clear. The .03 custodian fees is not paid to Guideline. That is a direct Custodian cost.

Does anyone really trust online game reviews? Game media is corrupt to the bone and the first thing I think when I see a positive review is that it was bought. Besides, the culture of game media is often far, far away from true gamer culture. That's why I often just watch raw gameplay footage, then I can make up my mind myself. I think this is a non-issue.

“Consumers have the right to know if reviewers are providing their own opinions or paid sales pitches,”

I think consumers should start to learn to think for themselves and stop relying on the state, bans and fines.
IIRC, £350m/wk is the gross amount, £140m/wk is the net.

If you have not already done so, I would recommend choosing a language to invest in, with the goal of becoming proficient in it. The purpose here is to select a language to be your "default" language. Write out a list of the things you value the most in a language and the things you wish to avoid. Examine the languages/paradigms you have already learned. Do any of these meet the criteria you listed (pros/cons)? If so, pick one of these to learn at a deeper level. If none of these are satisfactory, spend some time researching other languages or paradigms. Do other languages/paradigms match your criteria more closely? If so, it may be worth investing the time to learn something new.

I have yet to come across the "perfect" language or paradigm, but I have come across ones that have stretched me to learn new concepts I likely would not have learned otherwise.

One criteria I would not leave off the list is this: "I want to enjoy working with the language/paradigm."
The current funding is going away and there has not yet been an announcement of its replacement. The government has however spent years implementing "austerity" and attempting to cut public spending. It's very optimistic to think that any more money will be forthcoming.

Google Authenticator is a TOTP client. TOTP is an open spec.

If you use a different client, you can probably find one that will let you back up codes (I'm sure Authy supports TOTP). Also note that all you need for that backup is a "seed", which is a hash. IIRC Google Authenticator uses SQLite to store its data, I bet it's not hard to get the seeds out and back them up manually.
Yes, lithium-air batteries have some promise. They approach gasoline energy/weight by better than half as good. So that's a possibility.

Yes but they are allowing those companies to avoid tax in the countries where the labour is being done.

Lucky for them the UK is also getting desperate and instead of having it's own work is going to "attract" companies with lower corporation tax.
