> They're now faced with a letter from 40 MPs asking them to either honour the 350m/week (not 200) or explain why several Tory cabinet members misled the public during the campaign.

You're right, the number was even higher. But I think it's clear to everyone that the NHS will never see that money. And most newspapers are still in favour of Brexit and won't remind politicians of that promise.

> Some are. At least on the surface. May has a small enough majority that it is very possible she'd face rebellion over that. But then again, May presided over the Home Office for 6 years and talked up being tough on immigration and achieved pretty much nothing - quite possibly on purpose - so I'm not so convinced that she actually wants hard Brexit, but is using the same tactics of talking up how hardline she'll be to the public and pursue a softer line. Of course the problem with that this time is that her counterparts in Europe are hearing all of this too.

I agree, don't think either that May really wants a hard Brexit. But it makes her popular with the people. Don't think her strategy will pay off. In the end there will always be a parliament in the EU blocking any Brexit deal that would give sth away to the UK. Belgium has shown that nicely with CETA.
ok you answered my point...but is there not another way to shield consumer electronics ? wouldn't it be cheaper to find a good shielding system (magnetic ?) than to develop expensive custom hardware ?
Hmm. The employers I have encountered have been happy paying for stuff that brings some credibility to the company as well, such as certifications or master thesis grants. MOOC's just don't have the credibility generally speaking yet, so unfortunately it doesn't make sense to spend the effort even thinking about them.

We are in fact all renting from a handful of giant land owners. The banks that hold the mortgages.

Now, you could argue those themselves have ownership distributed because they are public companies so therefore those mortgages are in fact benefiting shareholders, but banks own the majority of homes in America. And if you pay it off and don't pay taxes, the government does.
Content Marketing Plan Template – Myths and Best Practices
Ooh, I had one of those in high school, saved up for months! I loved that thing - lots of space, it read song info from the files, supported playlists and had space for dozens of albums! DOZENS! Admittedly it ate 4 AA batteries in as many hours, but who cares? It was just as big as a discman, but SO MUCH MORE AWESOME. Used it every day on the school bus.

I kinda wanted an iPod when they came out, but as I grew up in a strict Dos & Windows home, that was out of the question.
Best to avoid the narcissism of the present when you can.

The industrial revolution was far more disruptive than what we are currently experiencing, albeit paced slower. The idea that way can't learn nearly everything we need to know about current change from observing the past strikes me as very naive. People, after all, are just people.

Aside: I just noticed that I wrote down "six" where it is supposed to be a "nine"! If it was a 6/9 typo I'd understand that, but written out in full like that it is kinda embarrassing.

I'm sure there are some very intelligent six-year olds out there though.

Same here. When just checking out books it's usually OK (although even then I prefer self-checkout machines), but when asking for help when searching for something, or requesting that they buy something, I've never met a librarian that just said "ok".

> I'm not sure why people go for the heat.

> I wish the flavor component had some kind of a quantifiable unit instead of the scoville units that has fueled this craze of feeling the burn.

> Don't fall for this tongue numbing "hottest wings/sauce in the world". Enjoy the flavor :)

I agree, but you need a certain tolerance to heat before you can stomach enough chili to notice the flavour.

To westerners with low heat tolerance, "hot" is literally the only taste they detect.

I've always had high heat tolerance, so I'm able to debate with my wife whether green or red or dry chilies would be better for a particular dish - because to us (and to you) it really makes a difference in flavour.

To them, more or less heat is the flavour, so that is what they tweak.

Diving Atlantis – Seasons in Tenerife
You're not even close to a realistic comparison. As a percentage of jobs overall, people working with horses, milkmen, switchboard operators, etc didn't amount to the sheer enormity of the jobs that will be obsoleted or displaced by self driving vehicles.

There is no comparison in history to make. Nothing has happened like this before. Never.

The closest you could get would be something like the aftermath of WW2 in Europe or maybe some devastating plagues but even that isn't a good comparison because those removed the people entirely; dead people don't need to be fed or swayed from starting a violent revolution.

It's not just the truckers or cab/bus drivers. It's all the industries that support them. Those will disappear too.

Just think of all the truck stops we have in the US and the amount of money that truckers spend at these places to sleep, take showers, get wifi, etc. Those will go away too.

The motels where travelers sleep at midway points in their travels will lose all that business. The auto body shops that rely on people making mistakes while driving will lose all that business too.

You're vastly underestimating the disruption if you're bringing up switchboard operators and milkmen.
And do you know how many starved, and how incredibly abysmal the conditions were for workers? Quality of living for the majority of people took a nosedive with the industrial revolution, and the pay-off took generations.

Yes, they had gas street lighting and coal fires, but they no longer had the freedom they'd enjoyed since the end of feudalism, and once more found themselves serfs - just this time ten to a room in disease ridden urban slums rather than in their peasants cottage in whatever village they'd been sucked up from.

Yeah, we're still here, but to assert that everything was positive is equally ridiculous. It took over a century for labour rights to start appearing, and for the system of governance to adapt to economic reality. Do you really want the same again?

Entering the era of influencer marketing
I definitely disagree with the premise of the article. I have a playlist where I pull in my favorites from Discover Weekly, and it just turned one year old. I still consistently get great new songs to add to the playlist.

I've also gleaned some insight into my general disposition over the least year from the playlist. I can tell exactly when I was in a "mood" or a rut... When I was listening to lots of angry music, that was reflected in my suggestions and my picks. And when I was opening up and relaxing—that also shows through the playlist.

I'd say that if your taste in music has a wider range and not specific to a single genre, your Discover Weekly will be a lot more rewarding. And also, if you rotate through musical moods like seasons where some tastes come and go over the course of a month or two, your Discover Weekly will support that and help you indulge in the mood of the month.

Being popular on HackerNews is not what I'd consider mingling with 'the haves'. Mingling to me is being invited to dinner parties, socialising in the real world, being called a friend.

Of course if you start from homelessness, then you have a hard journey ahead of you. I'm not saying it's easy - it's a long and arduous affair no doubt.

I resent your tone somewhat, I can assure you that I did not start from the top at all - that my views are extremely well balanced.

It sounds as though you are quite competent intellectually, but as we can see from the research, competence does not equal effectiveness at least not in the financial sense. This is why I say - it is who you know. And not just 'who knows you', but who likes you, who has a feeling of obligation towards you or someone close to you.

I don't say this to beat down on people that haven't 'succeeded' in life, I say this as a pragmatist - as someone that recognises inequality, recognises that the world is not fair (and may never be), and offers a view of how to cheat the system somewhat. It's a hack, but it seems to work so why not give it a go?
So which part do you find difficult? The parser? Haskell has the best library for parsing, parsec. The interpreter/code generator? I can't see how Haskell is different from any other languages on this part.

React & redux. Through redux i came in touch with functional programming. During the first week learning it, i came home from work exhausted and with a headache but eventually it clicked and i was amazed how productive and bugfree further development was. I began to adapt the functional style in my PHP projects and started using real functional programming languages (Elixir and F#) to take my understanding even further. Still plenty to learn.

Mostly because of mass. I think the cost of these probes scales with mass and adding those cheap gadgets would displace other scientific instruments. A 60fps camera might be interesting for entry but then it's mostly useless on the surface. And it would take a veeeeeery long time to transmit video (even if you downsampled in spatial and temporal resolution it's just not worth it).

As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the consumer grade devices cannot withstand the extremes of space (not just temp extremes, also high energy rays/particles we're shielded from here).
Looking over the examples, I thought of MongoDB's aggregation pipeline. You pass in a similar tree of JSON-only logic to perform more complex database operations/transformations. In Mongo's case, the idea is to have direct access to "native" calls, skipping Javascript execution altogether.

In can see a way where unions can make a comeback.

Lately I socialized driverless with people in my daily routine. None -even the tesla owner brother - would get into a driverless car. Safety and trust is mentioned.

Now we have workers potentially displaced. Some in unions. Some not. But associating with a union for the sake of perceived safety could be a real winner. These drivers under "x" union do not have unsafe driverless vehicles.
Surely in 2016 no one is using imperial units as a default for anything even remotely related to aerospace programming.
Not to mention we have little means to increase our understanding, because the code is closed-source proprietary (along with everything else).
The hardware has to be manufactured from the ground up for space. The silicon has to operate over a wider temperature range, the processor needs internal redundancy as well as external redundancy, and memory (caches included) has to include support for multi-bit error correction. Getting electronics to work reliably in space is no small feat.

And since the fabs that manufacture this kind of stuff are working at a relatively large technology node, it's non-trivial to design something like an i5 for space. Why? Well, Intel and friends have no interest setting up an entire fab process that will be utilized once in a blue moon. Even if you could use a more advanced node, the extremely high circuit area overhead required to realize the requirements I listed above will remain a limiting factor.
Ever try upgrading the CPU on an iPhone? It's like that.

These projects started out 10-15 years ago. So upgrading them mid-stream is almost impossible.

They're stuck with the hardware available when they chose that part. Re-designing for new hardware means changing everything.

Video and Audio platforms
Over a year and a half I've been developing a platform that provides an easy way to upload video files (mp4, webm) or audio (mp3). No registration is needed, anyone can upload a file every 10 minutes. A secret key is added to the uploader's browser which allows it to edit some information about the upload or delete it altogether.

They have a catalog section where you can search all media, media you uploaded yourself, media you've liked, media you've watched. The catalog features a playlist system to quickly make a url to play up to 10 videos in a row.

An important thing to note is that none of the media is processed, what you upload is what everyone else gets, so if you upload a great sounding song, or great looking video it will still be great to the end users.

They work better in a full browser.

Disagree. Yes, there's still a lot of work to do before we have real viable self-driving vehicles, and I think Tesla's goal of end of 2017 is unrealistic, but there's so much money and effort behind it now from so many different companies, personally I'd be shocked if we didn't have self-driving cars by 2025.

Git. I had many years of experience with various source controls systems, but it wasn't until a few months with Git that I realized it took away so much of the friction I had been living with in terms of being able to do fast context switches, experimental branches, recovery from bad mistakes, and sheer performance of working with very large repos. It is a tool I rely on and admire almost every day of my life.
to a degree yes, but how many people subscribe to something just because it's "little johnny from two doors down". Many people will give you a shot just because you are close to them in some way. When you put someone credible next to someone close, you'd be surprised at how many people would choose the close person over the credible. Just look at how many family businesses there are - you can't tell me that the family members are always the most credible.

Volans: An Interview with John Elkington, CEO and Chief Pollinator
This.

Just got my tax bill and I see I'm paying a percentage of my home value for things like school districts, etc.

Why I as a relatively new resident who has not benefited from these services yet is paying a disproportionate percentage of the taxes by a massive amount compared to people who have benefited from these services for decades while paying a pittance due to their locked prop 13 tax rates is beyond infuriating.

Doubly so when those long time owners have captured absolutely massive value through collecting rents and massive asset appreciation.

I'm all for paying my fair share for services in my community. This is not my fair share. At the very least it should be equal if not based on how long people have lived there.

Sure, there are exceptions. I couldn't imagine google maps without bloat. That is a web-application. But it is an exception. The current problem is that we treat exceptions like they are the norm.

Also, this article repeatedly points out that OpenBSD did not invent memory hardening techniques, but fails to acknowledge that they were by far the first to ship many of them in a base system by default. As I recall they were the only ones willing to break binary compatibility. Was Openwall was shipping with such protections enabled by default when OpenBSD released W^X? Certainly no other Linux distros were.
I disagree (I think); I recently went to the Henry Ford where it has been transformed into a "learning place", where they present a narrative, catering to strolling through, the ambiance (and restaurants). The Henry Ford used to be a collection of Things, of Harley-Davidsons, vacuum cleaners, and electron tubes, each of which had its own up close detail and story to tell, regardless of what comforts provided, the items themselves were the topic. Most of the items are now back in storage, now a pre-scripted narrative, making room for human comfort.
