I'm pro-economic liberty and voted for Brexit. Every analysis like this has tunnel vision: yes, the free trade opened up by the EU brought prosperity to an entire continent. Had we been voting for the 1970s era EEC, I'd have gladly voted Remain.

But in 40 years the EEC has evolved into the EU, with a constitution, a parliament, a president, a national anthem, a flag, supreme law-making powers and a currency.

Maybe the Merckel anti-integration faction will remain dominant and they'll stop there. Given the Juncker faction pushes further integration as the solution to every crisis, and given the EU is in constant crisis, the next 10 years should be interesting.

The EU is a world-historical experiment in social democracy - free markets + state regulation + the welfare state. The consensus is that this system represents the current pinnacle of political evolution. (Both 'progressive' Scandinavia and 'capitalist' America implement variants of it). An alternative perspective is that it's simply a compromise system which emerged after WWII and is already showing severe cracks.

Maybe the EU will create prosperity by such actions as forcing Google to break up, throwing state money at impoverished regions, etc. Maybe the populations of France, Spain, Italy et al will accept that they can't fund welfare states by borrowing in perpetuity and stop voting in radical left-wing governments. Maybe they'll find an alternative solution to the ever growing debt-burden, over Piketty's proposal for seizing 15% of all bank accounts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_long-term_solutions...

I have no idea. I would like to see pro-EU articles which actually address these issues, and not simply assume that the only reason to be against the EU is that you're an ignorant racist, deluded by propaganda and lies.

How does producing a bunch of biofuel achieve anything? Why is that something we want to incentivize? If this was about credits for sequestering x tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere then I can see how that should be worth a credit, but I don't see how it makes sense to single out biofuel any more than anything else those crops could have been used for.
High-frequency trading is usually justified by pointing at increased market fluidity, which is a positive thing in principle. Whether that is enough justification for the problems it causes is clearly something that should be discussed more.

> What is the simplest tool to do the job?

For me it's definitely MongoDB but I'm afraid of data loss etc. My example was simplified. In reality I want to update a sub-array within the collection, like this: collection['some_identifier']['items'][3] = 123. Overwriting the whole 'some_identifier' document seems wasteful. With MongoDB it's easy though to update nested sub-data.

I hate to sound confronting, but anyone living in a western counrty which leadership sees these documents as the reason to reevaluate its relationship with Saudi Arabia should be scared by his leadership's incompetence:

Those documents aren't needed to see that the whole Saudi Establishment is the no. 1 reason for jihadist terrorism. Just look at the massive investments the Saudis made since the 1950s to recruite, edjucate and influence muslim clerics basically everywhere in the world. And boy, need I say that civil rights wasn't on their curriculum?!

The Saud Family wants the radicalization of Islam for power reasons that are comparable to the situation of the Papal States and catholic influence over christian countries hundreds of years ago. It's not Islam that is cancerous, it is the Saud Family.
The troops would have been withdrawn sooner or later anyway, this was something that was known before the Iraq war was even started. Unless you want to argue that the US had plans for a permanent occupation of Iraq after getting rid of Saddam.

Please do not try to re-write history in a way that suits your narrative, it is pointless and counterproductive.

I don't know is Saudi Arabia sponsored directly 9/11 but what is clear is that Saudi Arabia is the main sponsor across the world of wahabism/sunni extremism, of which Al Quaeda, ISIS, etc are the direct offsprings.
Is this the algorithm for success?
Yes, but at a certain threshold that is no longer true due to logistics. For instance, I could try to sell back all the plastic bags I got at the grocery store, and even if I folded them flat, made sure they were clean and ready to reuse, no matter the price, the grocery store owner would with all likelihood refuse to buy them from me.

Because, regardless of how much money would be saved from buying my bags over the ones fresh from the factory, it wouldn't be able to cover the logistical cost to the company's workflow.
> We just completed the post-landing inspection and all systems look good. Ready to fly again.

It makes me wonder if they should literally do that. Fuel up the stage, send it off and recover it again. Maybe fit it out with a dummy upper stage. They have a handful of first stages now, so why not? It would reassure insurers and customers that the process is reliable, provide opportunities to trial out and streamline the refit process and provide valuable info on stage wear and tear.

They're need to get flight approvals and so on, it would certainly cost a lot more than just the fuel so might not be worth the trouble.
People also have friends or relatives who would be better off under Brexit or Trump. I know a lot of rich people who want better for other people and adjust their vote accordingly.

Thanks! In my real application I want to be able to update a sub-array of the document, like this: collection['some_identifier']['items'][3] = 123. Just setting the value for the key (e.g. overwriting the whole document) seems wasteful since I only want to update a portion of it. With MongoDB it's easy to set sub-data so I guess I'm looking for something where it's as easy but without the downsides.

Just insert 'sabbatical' or 'self-employed' for the duration. Whichever you can explain as the reason for a break. I tend to go with 'sabbatical' and explain during interviews that I managed work-life balance poorly and that needed sorting out. I might also mention how my relationship is for the better after my break, and that I am now more able to stay consistent, without swings in mood and existential crisis. I might also mention a hobby project I picked up that keeps me busy in my free time, like going back to reading fiction, woodworking, gardening, etc.

This usually creates the air of a real person during interviews. They find me interesting and interested, and as such I stand a better chance of being accepted into their community at the workplace.
My 386 didn't have a color graphics adapter, which required using a program called "Phix" - a terminate-stay-resident that emulated VGA on monochrome. Sadly this completely broke QBASIC (the editor was just a black screen), so I had to reboot the machine (to remove the TSR) in order to hack on GORILLAS.BAS. Compilation times nowadays are still longer than that rigmarole.
Cool! Thanks a lot. I will give it a try.
Orleans calls them grains to differentiate them from actors in the Akka/Erlang sense - because they are Virtual Actors, rather than traditional actors.
What's wrong with integration? You clearly think it's bad but don't say why.

Ah, downvote me for replying with a question. Mature. I guess you don't have a reason that doesn't boil down to "I don't want foreigners next door"?
If I've understood correctly, the point the GP was making was that 9/11 attacks were used as a cover for the foreign policy decisions rather than attempting to hold the perpetrators to account.

For example, what did Iraq have to do with 9/11? Nothing. What did Libya have to do with 9/11? Nothing. What did Yemen have to do with 9/11? Nothing. Did Guantanamo help keep the US safer? By many accounts, it mainly acted as fuel for the fire.

By declaring a 'war on terror' rather than targeting the specific groups involved in the 9/11 attacks, the US can now be engaged in perpetual war. How is that going to help make the US safer?

The actions only really make sense when you take into account the military-industrial complex and the desire for imperialism. 9/11 was just a convenient excuse used to push forward on those fronts.
The mere existence of globalization is not a counter-argument to the grandparent. To construct a counter-argument, you need to proof that the Turkish t-shirt and Spanish tomatoes are actually a benefit to you (or rather, to the mythical "average person").
It would probably work but in my real application it's a bit more complicated since I only want to update a sub-array of the document, like this: collection['some_identifier']['items'][3] = 123.

I guess using a plain file would mean I have to overwrite everything on each write which seems wasteful.
There was a huge divide in London too. Places like Camden, Kensington and Barnet overwhelmingly voted remain. Other places like Havering, Barking and Dagenham and Bexley voted to leave. And some areas (like Newham) were extremely close as far as percentages go.

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/london-eu-referendum...

General rule seems to be that places with lots of university students or large businesses tended to vote remain and those with either deeply conservative populations or a lot of immigration tended to vote leave.
So true, I often see people choose a database without considering pros and cons, they often considering only what they want as a developer to work with or to try and don't consider the nature of the data. Time series data fits the best in Cassandra and some other column-oriented DBs but definitely not in MongoDB.

There's also additional considerations that weren't touched in the article, and they're not functional but architectural.

Sometimes you have payloads that can't fit in a traditional RDBMS, and SQL/Relational don't cluster/shard well.

NoSQL bring convenient clustering/sharding to your data. Anecdote: an old team chose Cassandra solely for its admin-tools (which are really cool), even if we didn't actually need a NoSQL; I lost that battle, but I least we all learned something.

My view is that a nuclear exchange is very unlikely, and the likelihood of an exchange of global proportions practically nil.

> I think the Microsoft Azure Service Fabric is cloud version of the orleans might be originated from this framework(I may be wrong)

Service Fabric is a confusing beast. It includes a Virtual Actor runtime which is indeed very heavily inspired from Orleans, but it is a reimplementation. Orleans is built for "cloud" scenarios. You can run Orleans on top of Service Fabric using a host I wrote: https://github.com/OrleansContrib/OrleansFabricSilo
Pretty much this. And that's the issue with globalisation; it's great for those at the top, decent for those at the very bottom and often rather awful for those in the middle.

The votes for Brexit, Trump, various far left and right wing parties, etc are a way of saying "let's watch the elite's world and system collapse on itself". They've seen how little any of this is doing for them as workers, and how every system seems stacked in favour of the well off, and they just want to see it all burn to the ground.

At least in the Debian builds of Chromium the sync component is included. So I guess it's open source?
However, since only one age value can be actually correct in this case, the use of logic looks less like a feature of the programmer's mind and more like a bug.
Sure, it depends on your use case though. For infrequent updates I don't think it's wasteful to just overwrite the file, it seems less wasteful to me than running a whole database. But it all depends on your setup :)

Also I think updating a sub array in a collection triggers a whole write to that collection in mongodb. In any case I would avoid mongodb if you can, it seems redis might be a better fit for you.
This is the nature of our democracy, however.

One could argue that one has a duty to educate, but you cannot force knowledge and reason upon people who do not wish it.

I saw much of the same on the brexit vote - one that stood out was someone i'd always thought was an intelligent man (he used to run a substantial investment bank), who I found screaming, froth-flecked, in my face about how I was a traitor for not voting for freedom, how I loved evil, how leaving the EU was a vote for freedom. He couldn't elaborate on anything, he could just shout louder. It doesn't matter to him even, he'll be dead soon. One of his sons is a us native with British citizenship working on an eu research grant in Scandinavia. So strong was his irrational hatred he voted to fuck his own son over. Oh, and this guy is your ivy league elite, as were many of the other codgers in the room with the same groundless hate, so there goes the argument of this piece.

The trimp/brexit voters aren't disillusioned youth, aren't the left behind, they're just your usually older traditional values crowd.

That all said, like it or lump it. You are in the same boat as these people, they are people, and they represent the majority of people.

Interview with Fethullah Gülen
I worked for Kodak UK for a few months in 2002. I was a contractor working on their ERP systems, specifically reporting and BI tools. I wasn't privy to anything strategic but I could see some odd things.

The oddest thing was that they were still trying hard to push the APS format, despite the fact that is was a pretty poor format when it first came out it was now looking even worse when compared to early mass market digital cameras.

There was a certain arrogance amongst higher up managers. A sort of "We're Kodak, we're the best, we dictate the market!" There was a noticeable staff churn problem as a result. I was on a team of 20 of which 14 were contractors.

I can see some interesting parallels between Kodak and Nokia. Two giants who dominated their sectors and just didn't anticipate changes in consumer demand and then couldn't/wouldn't adapt.

Given the conventional definition of species, it would seem that any two distinct populations capable of producing fertile offspring effectively constitute the same species. Yet despite canids being in abundance, conservationists see nothing wrong with classifying certain threatened populations of canid as distinct "species" and campaigning for their preservation, such as the North American Red Wolf: http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/3747/0

This is despite unrestricted fertility existing between it and the common dog, as well as coyotes and other "species" of wolf.

If anyone dared to make a similar argument about the necessity of preserving certain threatened populations of homo sapiens from extinction through mass migration and the subsequent dispossession and despoiling of their native habits, as is arguably slowly happening to native Europeans, the charge of racism would swiftly follow, and the distinctness or perhaps even the very existence of those populations would be denied (the "social construct" theory).

Is this not hypocritical?
