>- God knows what Wales is going to do //

It looks like the Cymraeg [language] loving Welsh-nationalists are likely to press for all schools to become Cymraeg language and demand all businesses to move that way too. That should push taxation to new levels, reduce school achievement further, and retard international businesses from entering/remaining in Wales.

Given the North-South divide in Wales (even amongst Cymraeg speakers) I'd expect the massive demographic differences to push it back to the pre-annexation days where Gwynedd in the North was the central power (due to Irish/Viking immigrants after the Roman exit AFAICT!). Cymraeg speakers in the low-population North will break away and enter an economy propped up by tourism. The South-East is 90% English speaking, has three-quarters of the population and relies on the M4 corridor for a lot of its economy it's staying close to England one way or another.

In short Wales is already starting to pull itself apart. The low-income Welsh people who benefited a lot from EU schemes [eg in The Valleys (S.E.)] voted to Leave though, I don't think they'd try to follow Scotland back to the EU. However there's still an undercurrent of "we were conquered by the English and will hate them forever".

An oft-overlooked factor that interests me is the Crown - what have they got to say about it all. I assume they're keeping their beaks out to ensure they keep Crown money and property but along with all of this it strikes me if they aren't going to retain a political union of "their" lands then there's no longer a regent in even the hands-off sense we have in the UK today.

Why you'd throw off rule of the Queen's government and choose to stay being Her subject is beyond me.
Sounds like this is still true.

I really like Warren Buffet's description of the ovarian lottery, below.
I think about this question a lot now that I'm a (relatively wealthy) parent with two small children. If I have the opportunity, is it acceptable for me to provide them with a privileged life. Maybe so, if I can also teach them to be grateful for what they have received and understand that it's their job (as well as mine) to make a more fair world.

Warren Buffet:
"My political views were formed by this process. Just imagine that it is 24 hours before you are born. A genie comes and says to you in the womb, “You look like an extraordinarily responsible, intelligent, potential human being. [You're] going to emerge in 24 hours and it is an enormous responsibility I am going to assign to you — determination of the political, economic and social system into which you are going to emerge. You set the rules, any political system, democracy, parliamentary, anything you wish — you can set the economic structure, communistic, capitalistic, set anything in motion and I guarantee you that when you emerge this world will exist for you, your children and grandchildren.

What’s the catch? One catch — just before you emerge you have to go through a huge bucket with 7 billion slips, one for each human. Dip your hand in and that is what you get — you could be born intelligent or not intelligent, born healthy or disabled, born black or white, born in the US or in Bangladesh, etc. You have no idea which slip you will get. Not knowing which slip you are going to get, how would you design the world? Do you want men to push around females? It’s a 50/50 chance you get female. If you think about the political world, you want a system that gets what people want. You want more and more output because you’ll have more wealth to share around."

Those aren't particular to dynamic languages, though. You can add C, C++, Java, and C# to your list of languages that support it. Being able to explicitly make a parameter optional, or to have a 0-or-more rest argument is different from how function application works in Javascript or Perl because you have explicitly made that part of your function's signature, and the language still checks calls against that signature.

It's perhaps part of the confusion, and a sign that the states - rather than nations - have become so important that the concepts have been muddled, but I think that what you refer to as a "civic nation" is actually typically called a "state."

"Ethnic countries" - if the states primarily contains one nation of people - ethnically (ie mainly culturally), is commonly referred to as a national state.

National states became a popular concept in the 19th century, possibly because the kings, emperors and other rulers were starting to loose power and had to build their states around some concept. Before that, the kings and the rulers did not give the nationality of their subjects much of a thought I suppose.

>It's literally none of your business

It's a public company. It's our business to investigate it and criticize it.

The problem is that CEOs get millions upon millions to fail whereas in an average americans life, a failure of comparable scale (that tanks your personal finances) is met with brutal harshness and almost no safety net. The cultural gap between what is acceptable for the rich and what is for everyone else is widening and causing serious problems in America, both economically and culturally.

> But this information could just as easily be used to identify children with the least genetic potential for academic success and channel them into the best schools. This would probably create a more equal society than the one we have, and it would do so by identifying those who are likely to face learning challenges and provide them with the support they might need.

Sounds like Harrison Bergeron to me: why not invest those resources into the best minds, who can increase the standard of living for all mankind, rather than investing them only to raise folks to average?

Of course, in reality one would invest a little here and a little there, but it is a zero-sum game: every resource used to help the unintelligent succeed is a resource not expended to help the intelligent exceed.

"The argument upon which Spain bases it opposition to Catalan and Basque self-determination is a clause in the Spanish constitution which forbids them to have independence referendums. There is no such clause in the British constitution forbidding Scotland from holding an independence referendum. When Scottish independence come about, it will be legal, it will be constitutional, and it will be negotiated with and recognised by Westminster.

Spain doesn’t recognise the independence of Kosovo from Serbia because Kosovo declared independence unilaterally, an independence which isn’t recognised by Serbia and which Serbia claims is contrary to the Serbian constitution. But Spain does recognise the independence of Montenegro from its union with Serbia because Montenegrin independence was permitted by the constitution and is recognised by Serbia. Unionists only ever cite Kosovo, never Montenegro.

Choose your own adventure books are still reading though.

I think that there's also a much more similarity with analyzing a novel than reading one for pleasure. Reading code has a much greater mental tax than pleasure reading, it requires more focus to actually put together what's going on, and that's similar to analyzing a novel for a report, where you might read the same passage 4-5 times, taking notes. Or even better yet, analyzing a poem, which are often short (and often obey 80 char line width rules!) and analyzing them can require a great amount of focus and thought to decide why a poet used this word in this way, and what meaning they intended to convey and such. That's much more similar to reading code than reading a novel, and I expect also less common.

My opinion on hn was unpopular when I spoke out against Apple during the San Bernardino affair, because the FBI seemed to have the proper DOJ signoff and I think the motivation was obvious.

However this is unacceptable. We are a society of laws, and one of them is due process. Spying likely started during the Bush years, and Obama somehow escaped scrutiny for continuing the program (even with Snowden leaks). Hopefully it finally gets shut down during the Trump administration, even if merely because the media seems far less tolerant of his transgressions.

because the poor aren't giving their descendants monetary inheritances. The middle class can give their descendants some form of monetary inheritances, but wont be able to afford to use the complicated schemes that the rich do. Hence, the middle class gets screwed.
Let's hear what Ericsson says:

https://www.salon.com/2016/04/10/malcolm_gladwell_got_us_wro...
I wouldn't say 'practically everyone' has one. Only ~30% of the US population holds one: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/24/education/census-finds-bac.... Just most of us on HN run in social circles were that number is 85%+, that we feel like everyone has one.
At the heart of the union mentality is the deep desire to advance their members at the expense of non-union members. As we have seen the full flower of this mind state has cost the US economy millions of jobs as the total cost of Auto jobs and by collateral influence many other jobs - whose work went to cheaper labor cost places. If we all were in the union and all wages were the same (with skill/education/risk/etc modifying premiums) this would be workable. As it now is China and India(to a lesser degree) can now sell finished goods into the USA for a lot less than they can be made in the USA. In an ideal world, currency changes and import duties would act to level this. Sadly this is not the case and various forces will make Chinese and Indian products take larger portions of our markets every year. The exception is big bulky/fluffy items, like mattresses and some furniture that is so bulky that freight costs act as a de-facto import duty.
Now in Europe we have a far higher degree of unions than the USA, so there is not as big a wage spread across the workers, as we have in the USA.
In the UK the unions got so far out of hand with greed etc that Thatcher was forced to act. I refer to strikes, work rules, featherbedding (Google it - union men who did zero work at all - but got paid because they used to have a job where they made an item for 8 hours, and the company eliminated the part completely - yet the whole factory went on strike to keep these men paid). As you can see the US and UK auto business pretty much died off in terms of the number of workers (compare the number of USA/UK Auto workers in 1960 to 2015)
Now to Uber. The taxi companies deeply want to kill Uber, and they will invite the unions to help them, and they do not see that taxi unions will kill the taxi companies - (autonomous cars will help do this as well).
Uber succeeds because the cost of taxi ride is huge with most of the money going to the medallion holders and not to the drivers (except for independent drivers who own medallions - tax and other laws force heirs to sell medallions after the owner dies in most cases because few heirs want to grow up to drive taxis). Medallion owners allow a pittance to reach the drivers - which is why Uber did so well. A person could drive for Uber and make lots of $$ and some for Uber as well. Medallion prices crashed by 80% or so. Many medallions in New York were bought by huge loans that are worth a lot more than the medallion is worth with either Uber drivers of autonomous cars in the race.
Huge legislative efforts by medallion owners to allow them to fire their taxi drivers and shift the medallion to their autonomous fleet are being made.

Which is down to the varying desires of the community and the administration. The admin/mods have at least in part a goal of promoting their commercial ends whilst the community in general are neutral wrt those same ends. If the mods upgrade YC companies visibly and downgrade competitors, for example, then the chances are that will cause problems between the admin and the community.

Based on that I can't see YC ever agreeing to do their moderation in public. I think we have to remember that this is not a neutral forum but has an inbuilt bias, through moderation, towards the administrations benefits.

This seems an example of how the US approach to unions is completely broken. In the UK, unions exist that cover pretty much every single industry. Membership is, however, entirely optional. If the union has a sufficient sized membership (percentage based, I think), then they have to be involved in various types of management discussions, but that's it.

If you don't want to be in a union, you don't have to be, and you don't have to make payments out of your wages.
Those class titles are somewhat arbitrary and mean different things to different people. After you finish the Edx class you can skim the table of contents here and decide what to read.

The research involved conducting interviews and gathering information on the 87 U.S. startup companies valued at over $1 billion (as of January 1, 2016) that have yet to become publicly traded on the U.S. stock market and are tracked by The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones VentureSource.

The report runs on 30 or so pages and includes descriptions of companies with immigrants in key positions and, how they came to the US, and mini-bios of many of them.
Finding the specific data at that granularity is apparently a pain because everybody provides data for income instead of wages which doesn't distinguish $15 for 20 hours from $7.50 for 40 hours.

FWIW the median wage is ~$16.

> does it include everything sub-living wage?

There are many people who work primarily for tips, but raising the minimum wage wouldn't change that.
I do wish Wunderlist will add more calendar integration, it is more useful for repeated or short-term goals for me. Basecamp works well for team collaboration, but it is getting quite busy UX wise.

For long term goals and planning, I prefer to break things down into bullet points, and categories, and check them off as I go. https://taskade.com has been great for that (though no calendar integration), especially with their Chrome Extension that loads your most recent list on each new tab.

Todoist is replacing Wunderlist for me with their more frequent updates.

I think there's a much simpler way to go about this. Just add a snippet by typing it in your shell followed by an echo command, e.g.:

ls -rt; echo "List all files reverse-sorted by date"

Then the problem remains to search your shell history, but there are many solutions for that already. And the good part is (besides not needing another tool) that you can search the same way for commands that were not labeled with a description.
