At least part of it is them getting screwed by the first past the post system. There was a swing towards labour in the last election in many seats that were split three ways, this took the seat rightward from Lib-Dem -> Conservative even though the voters were heading in the opposite direction.
That is my assumption too. It will never happen.

The UK cannot afford to not have free trade with the EU, and a stipulation of free trade is to allow open immigration and travel. The main reason that many people even voted for leaving was to stop the EU immigration! So, just based on this 1 thing, it doesn't seem like it has a chance of happening.

Additionally, there is the whole thing about sending money to the NHS instead of the EU that turned out to be false.

And, many Leave voters actually didn't even want it to pass, they were just doing it as a protest vote.

So, half the stuff the Leave campaign said has turned out to be a lie and some portion (not really sure how big) of the voters didn't even want it to pass. Expecting the Brexit to happen just seems completely crazy.
Er, no. Boris Johnson is foreign secretary.
Handing an unprivileged user access to Docker is, functionally, the same as handing them access to sudo. Once you are allowed to run arbitrary Docker containers, you have limitless access to root on the running host.

For this reason, I would vastly prefer requiring sudo to communicate with a local Docker daemon. Sudo was designed for this purpose, has the proper logging and fin(er) grained access control.
Idea, which is 50/50 art and political action: we patent a method for submitting patents, involving computers and the internet. It acts to block people from submitting new patents and so bring the whole irrationality of the US patent system to the foreground.
About 3 years ago I heard firsthand they were sending over a billion a month. I'm sure the numbers have only gone up...so probably quite a lot of raw data.

That said, the actual overall entropy [0] is likely low (based on what I've observed in my inbox over the years; mostly just HTML templates with names and links).

That was actually the most heart-warming part of the tale. The guy initially tried to bribe the police and get out of trouble, but the new computer systems prevented him from doing so. The cop who initially tried to collect a bribe from him, then returned the money, befriended him, and went to bat for him, with no financial incentives whatsoever.
There is no discussion. OP made an incorrect, absolutist statement that was ignorant and demonstrably false and I am pointing that out. Your view, frankly, is just as ignorant. You assume that world-class business schools like HBS only teach things that apply to traditional manufacturing businesses... Perhaps you ought to look at what a management student learns before asserting that. It's an incorrect viewpoint. The comment below this is literally an HBS article stating that professional managers are actually often better for the company than being founder-led. We cannot have a discussion that goes anywhere if one side of it is (1) anecdotal feelings that are not backed by research and (2) demonstrably false and ignorant statements.
I think most people accept that it isn't the best idea to allow a simple majority to have unlimited power. Just because you can get 50.01% of the people to vote for something doesn't mean it is 'undemocratic' to not do it.

In the United States, for example, we have a constitution that explicitly sets out rules for what a majority can't do. I don't think setting limits on what the majority can do means that people have 'lost the right to decide for themselves'.

If the British Parliament decides to drag their feet on brexit, that doesn't mean they are preventing people from deciding for themselves; the people decided to vote those MPs into office!
Totally agree as a long time user. Keep it up.

A lot of people carry around two phones, specifically the same type of people who have two laptops.
Who is to decide what a correct government is then?

How do you define "wrong"?

You are obviously free to point out what you see as errors, but if you can't convince the majority, then what else is there to do?

Why do they have to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at people who aren't expected to turn things around? I thought the whole point of paying that money is that these people make the impossible possible.

If this game weren't Pokemon themed, I, and surely many others, would have definitely given up on the app long ago. But there's just something about catching Pokemon in a park with friends that makes the practically 50% downtime seem bearable.
No, democracy is great when you place limits on what the majority can do. The majority does not get free reign to do whatever they want; there is a reason most democratic countries place limits on the majorities ability to enact their will; the US constitution is designed explicitly to limit the power of the majority, so as to prevent the abuse of the minority.
This is one of my favorite games of the last few years. It's similar to Telltale's walking dead in that it's an interactive, story based game, with an interesting mechanic thrown in that helps make this more unique than other games in the genre.

If you like games with a strong narrative, I can't recommend it enough.
I think its very exciting work and he clearly made an important finding in lichen biology. But, overturning would be if he found that it wasn't 2 organisms but just 1. The previous 2 organisms are still there, there just happens to also be another one that people missed. Everyone else wasn't wrong and the previous work hasn't been overturned, simply added to. This is the basis of most modern science. This doesn't take away from the importance of the work, simply that the headline is a bit click-baity.
The headline and the body are posing two different questions. Regarding books that impacted my career in software. The top three are:

1) K&R C

2) Zen of Graphics Programming

3) C++ Programming Language, 2E

I wouldn't recommend any of these to a young version of myself today.
No one is blocking the Brexit. The Leave campaign simply cannot figure out how to make it work. They lied about almost everything in their entire campaign, so it's not really hard to see how it wouldn't actually work.

I mean look at the 2 main people who were driving the Leave campaign - they both resigned! When your leadership doesn't even want to see the Brexit through, you know you have a problem.

Doesn't seem like this project differs that much, although this looks to have the backing of core React developers.
They took a big gamble on the AV change, but the conservatives screwed them by reneging on a promise to not campaign against it.

I wonder if they regret that now, as it would have provided a safety valve for Conservative -> UKIP defectors.
I stand corrected; he did opt not to run for PM though. And he now has roommates.

I should note that following this has been my first real exposure to some of the finer points of British politics.
Both my (Maxwell) Titan X's boost to 1480mhz in SLI (the one with the slightly better ASIC 94% "asic quality" boosts to 1515 if i manually overclock it in unlinked mode).
If the new Titan X is anything like the 1080 and can boost to around 2ghz it would be a monster of a card, if it's really held back to only ~1500mhz because of either power limit or that the GP102 ASIC simply cannot be clocked as high as the GP104 and 106 parts it would be a pretty small improvement over the existing Titan X (probably around 15%).
The irony of a rich white male bay-area programmer using a 3D printer and data viz to explore/comment on housing prices in SF does not escape me.
I think it's the right move for people new to React. A lot of those features in other boilerplates aren't really necessary for building out a simple app.

Furthermore, the Eject feature (https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app#conver...) allows someone to move from the default configuration to their own when they feel comfortable.
If the aim was to beat Imgr then it seems strange that the 'upload image to reddit' feature is only available on certain subreddits
I am pro-Remain, but democracy is democracy; ignoring the popular vote would create much more dangerous precedent than any bad things that may happen from Brexit.
The book “A Logical Approach to Discrete Math” by David Gries is excellent for learning math on a theoretical level, and for understanding proofs.

I have found that writing software that automatically solves elementary algebra equations using the techniques humans use is also a very good method for understand how math works at a deep level. Here is a demo of a step-by-step equation solver that I am currently writing:

That's how democracy works. You elect people so they decide things for the people. Sometimes they can in turn elect other people.
It's impossible to put everything up for vote (and the results would be disastrous unless the majority of the population would be highly educated).

Right, but a direct vote on brexit is not 'representative democracy'.

British citizens voted for their MPs, and if those MPs drag their feet on brexit, it is still a representation of the will of the people.
I assume "free trade" is possible without allowing open immigration...
My point was that even if the state doesn't pay someone to sit around, and play video games all day, in a high-unemployment economy, family members will. Either that, or the person in question dies homeless.
On technical level you are right: it would be enough. You've given a trivial
and totally irrelevant answer, thoguh, because you simply negated the premise

The claim was laid as "CO2 causes global warming", basing on some correlation
in collected data. How can this claim be realistically shown invalid?
Poliyics is not math. There's no right or wrong. There are just priorities.

Yet, I really wish he didn't posted pics nor gave real names.

Bribe culture is bad, but it's not something to dismiss in such situations, eg, here, it would get him into way MORE trouble just to put up a firm NO about bribing and social skills.

Being out of your main cultural context is pretty much about "going with the flow" and social engineering rather than enforcing your own beliefs onto an already established and deeply rooted status quo.
Britain is a representational democracy; they vote for MPs who enact their will, not direct votes on single issues like Brexit.
I was a rave promoter in the early 2000s and was using my personal email address to send out promotions for a while. I had several thousands of emails that I had collected over the years, including a few email lists that forwarded all over the country. Several years ago, I signed up for linked in, dutifully unchecked the 20 emails or so on the first page of emails and then clicked, next, after which it emailed the entire rest of my gmail contact list. I ended up in the top 5% of viewed profiles on all of linked in for the month. I felt terrible about it.
Not quite. Yea I've got friends who've gone to places in the EU on the Eastern European block. It's just as corrupt as before.
> Nobody on the Brexit camp even had a plan on how to leave.

That's not my job - that's what civil servants and politicians are paid considerable amounts of money to determine.

Just like a marketing director doesn't expect to have to present the dev team with the architecture of the latest web app; he or she states the requirements, we execute it.
An American without a high school diploma or GED convinced a seriously good German university to admit him. That's pretty impressive.

If I were in his situation, there's no way I would have had the gull to try that route. Probably would've just stayed in the forest service. Maybe gone for a GED then community college then a local land grant. By which time I'd be too burnt out on it all (and too old) to even think about a doctorate.

There's no doubting that the German people helped this guy achieve what he achieved. There's also no doubting that he was truly exceptionally resourceful (and maybe a bit lucky, too).
Sure, if they want riots.

Actual, people-dying-in-the-streets riots.

I agree it's a little unusual, but I don't see how it detracts from the article in any way.
Revolution is a young man's game. In this case if you look at the demographics of the vote it was old people who voted to leave.

In another ten years this vote probably would have gone the other way.

In fact I'm really confused as to who such a complex geopolitical strategy decision was put in front of the citizenship in the first place. "What if they say yes?" Is the sort of question your government should be able to answer before asking the question. If they can't then maybe they shouldn't be making geopolitical strategy decisions either.

If you want a revolution, that's the one you need. Elect some grown ups instead. Then send us your all of the old leaders because they're still doing better job than mine.
If the UK had voted to stay, and this headline was actually "Why it's time to accept the fact that Remain may never happen" would you be making the same argument?
The point that stands out to me is -

Data still being transferred outside EU on a “safe harbour” basis: Microsoft’s transferring account holders’ personal data to the US on a “safe harbor” basis, in spite of the Safe Harbor agreement having been ruled invalid by the top EU court in October 2015.

That is the one most likely to be a big issue for businesses running non-Enterprise versions (i.e. Pro).
What do you mean, little information?! There's plenty of information on how bad EU is (occupation of Greece, austerity, one country deciding to invite millions of migrants then forcing others to help them, wasting money supporting 2 parliaments, "unelected" leaders, the failure that is Euro, ...).
I think it is already spawning change. It's waking up the complacent establishment who thinks they can keep shitting on the working class. The right wing is already capitalizing on this by blaming the problems on immigrants. Hopefully, the left wing wakes up too and brings forth some candidates who can address the real root causes instead of blaming it on immigration.
Good points, but I just wanted to point out that we are only missing a 4 kHz range (20-24 kHz) as the highest frequency a 48 kHz digital signal can represent is 24 kHz (Nyquist sampling theorem).

MP3s actually tend to have a worse cutoff depending on encode settings, with values from 20.5 down to 16 kHz [1].

I long ago stopped caring about lossy formats for music as everything is FLAC on the NAS. For audiobooks and similar squeezing another couple of percent compression just isn't worth the effort nowadays, so they can stay in whatever format they came in, preferably MP3. When you've a few TB of space it mostly doesn't matter any more.

Given that this is pretty much all that is left of Opera after the Chinese buyout [1] it may well be a chance for Yahoo to get back in the SoC game.

What revolution?

The vote is a reflection of discontent but it has no political articulation whatsoever. No plan. No actual idea on how to run a successful government that can ameliorate the issues at hand.

Votes of discontent tend to generate a lot of trouble on the short term, but give a little time and we're back to business as usual because, hey, it turns out actually governing is a hell of a lot more complicated than complaining about things and it turns out that bureaucrats who have been at it for a few decades are actually not the dimwits that are portrayed in the media.

I have very little sympathy for the established political parties, but it's very clear that there is very little in the way of actual plans and solutions outside of the status quo either.

Heck my impression is that this only became an issue more because of a strange interplay of Tory outliers with with a very small but loud group of brexiteers and UKIP politicians who preferred to misinform and pander to a voting bloc rather than having to deal with real, difficult problems.
This is really great! However, I think this speaks to the need for a better API in general for this sort of stuff.

At the moment it's "all or nothing" in that you can decide to let everything be configured, or nothing be configured ("ejecting"). This makes perfect sense, but I think a more ideal solution would be having layers of configurability that let you more gracefully set your preferences without completely abandoning this tool's utility.

I'm not saying that's easy, but it's a direction I'd be excited to see.
Of course. And the message they would send with that is "screw you, the people, it's our way or highway".

And _this_ would be the moment when everyone will go nuts and anti-establishment and vote for UKIP.
If you are in NYC, I highly recommend momofuku noodle bar and momofuku ssam bar. I've never been to Ko, but I've heard great things. I'd recommend taking a pass on ma peche.
I'm sad to see you downvoted, I completely agree with you.
"Legitimacy" is a fundamental idea our political system (in most of the world) is based on. I think it is underestimated how fragile this legitimacy is (or the meta-idea that a government must have legitimacy). If the political class continues to ignore the wishes of the people, the people will stop giving them legitimacy - and do what ever the fck they please to put it bluntly. We are not facing a revolution - the extreme scenario is rather a failed state, or a "area of reduced governance". The light scenario is a massive power gain for populist parties.

Note, I'm very much pro-EU and anti-Brexit. But I believe it would be madness to ignore the referendum.

The most pragmatic solution would be one that let's everybody keep their face. Find a solution that de facto leaves the status quo unchanged, but de jure let's Britain leave. Maybe formalize the special statuses Switzerland and Norway have, and give Britain an associate status. Or let Britain leave and change the statutes to allow England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland to become individual members. Or or or... I'll leave it to the EU bureaucrats to figure out.
But the "good" people tried to take bribes. So, they aren't perfectly good.
Yes you can find it at the end of the article ;)
Remain is the status quo. They are not equally weighed options.
Sensible advice, but "user" of OGG doesn't mean "I store my gold music library" in OGG.

My gold library is in FLAC but I transcode to MP3 using mp3fs for various uses.
Your definition of transparency is obviously different from mine. I don't find even "good' codecs like AAC and Vorbis to be transparent until quite a bit higher than that - high enough that one might as well just use FLAC and be done with it.
Elephant in the room or exception that proves the rule?

I would also consider Doerr as starting his career at Intel (back when it didn't have a virtual monopoly) rather than being a senior leader.

I think these one-trick ponies are good places to start careers, I just think the market should be more wary when hiring exec leadership (VP to c-level) from them.
This isn't good for consumers. Verizon is looking to add web assets with a longer term strategy, locking in people to their web space.

A human child learns much more easily by seeing only a handful of images of a cat and then almost being able to say any type of cat image as it grows (without ever seeing 1 million or billion images). So, there seem to be something that shows that more than the amount of data, the "reality" of seeing a real cat probably includes all possible aspects of a Cat ? There seem to be something missing with this whole deep learning stuff and the way it is trying to simulate the human cognition.
