Farming is heavily subsidised by the EU though, only this morning the Independent was reporting that farmers are now regretting the decision since their funding could be lost, and that they voted leave because they didn't understand the ramifications: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/farmers-brexit-regret-b...

It could be spin, the farmers I know though (I'm originally from a very rural town in mid-Wales) don't really understand what GM means, they're old school wellies and corn hanging out their mouth types.
As a rule of thumb, they're all worth using. C++11, to repeat something that's becoming a cliché, is like a whole new language.

Even in the context of Qt, it's worth using some C++11. auto, lambda functions, shared and unique pointers, (although QT has always provided its own versions of these), C++ 11 threads. I code heavily with Qt and I use these C++11 features daily. C++11 changes some things that used to be almost impossible into possible, and some things that used to be awkward maintenance headaches into natural and flowing code.

This is great; this is an opportunity for you to get to grips with some modern C++.

> ‘He who does not work shall not eat.’

Funny that I still hear and read people who see things that way in the modern west: "if you don't contribute, you deserve nothing from society". Welfare still seems to be taboo for some voters.

I prefer to view the Great Leap Forward as a tragedy, rather than a genocide or mao murdering people like it's a plain open intent. I mean if I align myself with the definition of genocide and wikipedia's article, am I so wrong? To me, the moment you starts saying "this was bad, this was worse", you take sides, and I don't think it's objective enough when you deal with a country that is so far away from the west.

I think chinese leaders were eager to not see their oldest civilization falter (at least it was their political belief), so they chose to make huge sacrifices, meaning cracking down on remote rural places that were anti state.

Pointing fingers and comparing the number of people dying with the soviets or hitler, and dismissing the context seems a little easy, and will be perceived as taking sides.
The objections to GM crops are mainly about IP law being applied to food crops, not safety.
> Your XOR case is exactly the same example as the OP posted, just that the encryption algorithm involved the XOR operation, random bytes and another document.

It isn't. If you encrypt something with most algorithms, there is going to be one key that turns it back into something intelligible and all the others produce garbage. That isn't the case with xor. Different "keys" will produce different intelligible decryptions.

> In court the judge would attempt to judge the intent of each person involved and rule based on that. You seem to think this is a problem, and indeed it is hard. That why the law uses judges rather than attempting to legislate every possible example.

The hardness is the problem. Suppose somebody sends you a DMCA takedown for what appears to be random numbers, arguing that if you xor it with some specific other random numbers you get infringing content. But that proves nothing because it's true for everything, so what are you supposed to do? What is the judge supposed to do?

> No. This is the key thing you are missing. Elsewhere on this thread someone put it like this: "I would add the concept that the law, unlike software, is capable of openly defying logic. Courts are permitted to dismiss case law and rule in a completely new and unforeseen direction."

How is that supposed to solve anything? The problem isn't that the court is going to come across "this statement is false" and have a meltdown, the problem is that we can't predict what the court is actually going to do so we don't know how to behave if we want to stay within the law.

And furthermore that there isn't anything good for the court to do. Of course the court is not required to do something good, but how is it OK when they do something bad?
What's your definition of racism? Under the Equalities Act 2010 'Race includes "colour", "nationality" and "ethnic or national origins"'[1]. I feel like this will only lead to a boring semantic discussion, though.

They're not post-Brexit.

Currently the will be reaping the benefits of the low pound for exports, plus still have access to the European market, plus still be able to employ nice cheap Eastern European labour if they so wish.

Let's wait until they are actually post-Brexit, shall we?

> When Rajkumar has raised concerns with those Tesla employees about autopilot's technical limitations, the response is they have to "wash their hands of it" because "it's a business decision."

I've wondered about Tesla's engineering management before, and this would support that it is inadequate. Engineers cannot "wash their hands" on safety critical projects. This is potentially a serious ethical lapse: the health, safety, and welfare of the public is the foremost concern:

If engineers' judgment is overruled under circumstances
that endanger life or property, they shall notify their
employer or client and such other authority as may be
appropriate.[0]

> In another anecdote recounted by two sources, Musk was told that the sensors used for Tesla's self-parking feature might have difficulty recognizing something as small as a cat. Musk is said to have responded that given how slow the car moves in this parking mode, it would only be dangerous to "a comatose cat."

Outrageous, a baby can be the size and of the speed of a "comatose cat". Hysterical example aside, a comatose cat demands no less consideration with respect to risk analysis. Handwaving that the the feature is of no safety concern, rather than submit to the rigors of risk management, is an absolutely improper response.

The claim you're making is itself an example of dishonesty and anti-intellectualism. Let's take a look at what Gove actually said - the full quote, not the abridged version people like to throw around:

"I think the people in this country have had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong"

Gove was clearly talking about a very specific subset of all possible 'experts' here - the ones from various (mostly governmental) acronymed organisations who have a long track record of making incorrect forecasts and yet still claim to be able to predict the future using their 'expertise'. The campaign was full of absurdly precise predictions like "leaving the EU will cost each household exactly £4300 a year".

Gove's position is not unreasonable or anti-intellectual. Post-vote, Paul Krugman started laying into economists and the economics profession as a whole, saying essentially that economists didn't deserve to be trusted because they so often made arguments that were just intellectual-sounding nonsense.

> confirmed it's going to happen and she has set up an entirely new ministry to ensure it does.

There is a counter argument that says the new ministry is set up exactly to ensure that brexit fails to happen whilst the government "tried it's best and gave full resources". It is also a convenient way to completely destroy Boris for good.
I think the cultural angle is much overlooked here. Yes, a lot of funding comes from the EU, but it's about more than money.

In a University you work with many people from all over the world, and success depends on doing so.

Of course you end up favouring international cooperation at a policy level. Your values are shaped by your personal experience.
Keep in mind that working 65-80 hours a week is actually really really bad for maximizing output. There's a large body of studies demonstrating this in a wide variety of fields. 40 hours is a lot closer to the sweet point for maximal output. See the references in http://www.igda.org/?page=crunchsixlessons

So, first, remind yourself a normal 40-hour work week is actually the best thing you could be doing for your employer long term. See similar point I made over at http://codewithoutrules.com/2016/02/24/go-home-already/

Second, the biggest benefit you can provide for your employer is coming up with the smart solution that reduces the amount of necessary work by an order of magnitude. And you don't do that by working real hard for a long time. You do that by thinking. And thinking is in part a thing you do in the back of your head while doing other stuff. See Rich Hickey's talk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc
Kickstarted board games are almost exclusively preorders for the game. So it didn't "need" to raise that money -- in fact it looks like their original target was about $33k.

It's an interesting question about fairness to consumers. Honestly I don't know that fairness is relevant here, as the Kickstarter boardgame scene is thriving -- many new board games exist through kickstarter than would otherwise exist in the world, and the consumers know this and participate in the ecosystem. If the kickstarter was limited to raising money for development costs then it's not clear that the producers would be quite as incentivized to put projects up there.

Since most of the discussion here seems to revolve around funding, let me point out that the article is mostly about other factors:

"Worse than a possible dip in funding is the research community’s fear that collaborators abroad will slink away and the island’s universities will find themselves isolated. [...] The community is asking: Will the foreigners continue to be welcome in British laboratories and will British researchers continue be partners with collaborators from abroad?"

Funding can be replaced, but if foreign researchers have a harder time getting into Britain, that could be a problem for research in the UK
Those are listed under the second heading ("Incubator and corporates").
It would split Conservative voters across the Tories and UKIP and give Labour or some coalition (Lib-Con, Lib-Lab, rainbow?) chance to hold power. So, the question is what do there Tories care more about, their party winning or the right result for the country - so, yes Tories will keep the UKIPy edges of their party.

Long-term though the plan must be that once the NHS privatisation has been forced they allow much more immigration of those with medical training, the private health companies will need workers. At that point they're going to be losing the right and left wings of the party.

Screwing up Europe will buy May's Tories an extra term I imagine so they presumably don't care beyond that.

I had the same experience with GoT, but it could have been because I was with a gaming group who loved it and I'd never played it before.
Yeah, that's the key. I studied in a Max Planck Institute in Germany. 80% of the students were international and spoke English, but I could always speak German to the remaining 20% and to faculty. Of course, we'd switch to English for technical discussion, but chit-chatting in German makes a difference.

Also, you can think in German at any time of the day.
I think that we are now confronted with a decision similar to that which EU made about freedom from tracking, but evolved.

The kiosks have video cameras in them. Information from kiosks across all 5 boroughs will be processed in real time, aggregated, and mined. This is a big data dream for Alphabet, who will combine street-level activity with information acquired from user's android phones. In exchange for providing Alphabet with valuable insight, civilians get free high speed wifi and some other goodies. Sidewalk Labs, who acquired the creator of the NYC kiosks and operates them is an Alphabet company. I encourage everyone to read through their privacy policy [1].

Your objections, perhaps, but the EU's trade barriers against them are justified on the grounds of what they call the "precautionary principle" i.e. something might be dangerous until proved otherwise and each type of crop must therefore be approved one at a time by the food regulators (which they almost never do)

> The key, and I think this applies to any language, is not NOT BACK DOWN. Some things will be hugely painful, if you back down you just defer the pain [...] don't let them

This is very stressful. Forcing an interlocutor to speak to you in their tongue when they know your language much better than you know theirs, is basically rude, and persistence with impoliteness is stress inducing for many people. I have personal experience of this in France where people would insist on speaking to me, stutteringly, in my native English when I speak perfect, fluent, French. Thus the OPs point about the language barrier being an issue, IMO is very valid.
I'd note that sometimes complexity comes from surprisingly simple rules, like with Go or Chess. Next to Terra Mystica, Go or Chess might appear simple.

This is one of those games that looks complicated until you start playing. I was one of the Kickstarter backers, and was a bit unsure of the suitability of the game for casual play.

After 22 plays and counting with many different people, I can safely say that this isn't too hard to grasp. Essentially, your turn boils down to picking 1 of 4 (or 5) different actions, over and over again. Compared to Terra Mystica, this game is much easier to learn.

At least a year? You sound like the kind of person who couldn't diet to lose a few kilos.

My wife needed a few weeks to be able to speak Norwegian on a conversational level, I didn't need much more than that for German (difficult to count exactly due to travelblah). Once you reach conversational level the rest of the way has a different quality — you'll need to learn more but you've conquered the cliff, the rest is a modest incline.

You watch the clip:

The actual quote is:

"People have had enough of experts from organisations with acronymns saying they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong".

By implication, those "experts" aren't actually experts because they get it consistently wrong. But sure, it's easy to mis-quote him and cut the rest of the statement to make the leave voters sound like knuckle draggers because that's the agenda a certain set of the remain voters wanted to push. Leave voters are stoooopppppidddddddd.

That tactic didn't work well.

Gove was talking about experts who get it consistently wrong. So many of these "experts" have suddenly gone "oh, we wrong, X won't happen now after all", all the threats, punishment budgets and dire consequences have dissipated like the nonsense fear-mongering they actually were. And we also now get a report about the IMF being irrationally pro-Euro, destroying Greece in the process, and we were supposed to listen to them as neutral voices about Brexit consequences? Turns out they had vested interests, just like so many of the other "independent" "experts".

What we have now seen, and Brexit has really shone a light on this, is that the political elite across the world seem obsessed with European political integration and will spout utterly unsubstantiated rubbish to justify it.

So, he was kinda right. Which is very disappointing.

I voted remain.
Can you elaborate on modern Hebrew being an "invented language"? This is the first time I have heard this.
That is crazy, I like in SEA and I've never felt not knowing the local language is an issue. Especially for the things you mention: doctor, flat and government stuff.

Germany have always been a stickler for dubbing things though, maybe they don't put as much effort into it.
> 80% of the students were international and spoke English, but I could always speak German to the remaining 20% and to faculty.

Even more: Of these 80% there are surely many that also would love to get better in German: Why not also agree to converse with them in German, too?
Always worth remembering that UKIP have taken a humongous number of Labour supporters, not just Conservative.
The Independent might as well be the official state outlet of the EU as far as I can tell. You'd get more balanced coverage from reading Chinese media about China. Just taking a few representative headlines from its website:

Millions of people? Where do you get that number? We've had two devastating accidents with nuclear reactors, and one that came close to being devastating. All three were older designs that were more dangerous than the designs we could build today. The combined death toll is in the hundreds to thousands, at best. You don't get up to millions of deaths unless we start firing nuclear weapons at each other.
>With respect to "it's difficult to leave without screwing the economy", that seems hard to justify given the number of countries that are not in the EU and yet which are not "screwed".

Never having been in the EU is a totally different situation to being in the EU and leaving. No country has ever done that.

I agree that May does intend to Brexit.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: And to that end, I recommend that we set up an interdepartmental committee with fairly broad terms of reference so that at the end of the day we'll be in the position to think through the various implications and arrive at a decision based on long-term considerations rather than rush prematurely into precipitate and possibly ill-conceived action which might well have unforeseen repercussions.

I disagree with some points. The hate for "no middle management" is laughable HOWEVER the "too many cooks" situation can definitely happen

I've taken years of English Studies in school, then German, Greek, Russian. That's all useless if I want to read a French book, because they are using a language common in THAT country, and it has nothing to do with the language in another country.

That's not a direct equivalent, but it is close; somewhat equivalent but distinct notations arise in Math and Physics because authors weren't working together (much like natural languages). But otherwise it is "turtles all the way down" - it can only be "simple" or "needlessly complicated" if you assume something about the reader's knowledge.

All of

Are essentially equivalent to a mathematician, often with a preference for the first, whereas someone unfamiliar may claim that only the 3rd is clear and the others are unreadable. A friend of mine was in a classroom where the lecturer started with the first form, when to the 2nd and 3rd over class objections, and finally switching to something like "our function result at the first data point, added to our function result at the second data point, ....". This was an OR class for students pursuing an MBA.
The EU also funds, e.g., nursing education programmes at ex-polys that aren't likely to survive a post-Brexit funding winter. NHS staffing isn't quite so critical -- NHS is highly reliant on immigration from the Commonwealth more than the EU -- but it still would pose a concern.

> You do, as soon as you're pointing someone towards C.

By this logic pointing out that there are drug dealers in Detroit is distribution of narcotics, pointing out that there is money in a bank is conspiracy to commit bank robbery, publishing a vulnerability is publishing everything on every system with that vulnerability, etc.

It's also an obvious practical problem since you've reduced the resources necessary to publish something from having to host a multi-gigabyte piece of content and have enough bandwidth to distribute it to millions of people, down to distributing a couple of hyperlinks. Which you might do with a mailing list or RSS feed that all the interested parties will then already have a local copy of before anybody can do anything about it, or from a different jurisdiction because transit from overseas is no longer prohibitively expensive.
