Funny that the alternative also uses tantalum and in its solid state... I know, I know, "solid tantalum" refers to a technology and the alternative is a new technology, or at least an improvement over the older one.
The people of the UK.

I had the feeling they were resting on the inherited wealth of their empire for rather long now. They always wanted special treatments in the EU. They even pay mad bucks on their royals for basically nothing.

Maybe this Brexit will go down bad and they will change their ways and join the EU in 10-20 years as 'real' members.

But I don't have many hopes in that. Probably they will end up like Switzerland or something :/

So the GOP argues that it's unfair because streaming services and search engines can already collect this data and ISPs couldn't.

I don't understand how they fail to recognize that ISPs will

a) see all of the sites you will visit and

b) many people can't choose between ISPs because there are only a few in their area

It seems that for the GOP, as long as there is profit for corporations, they are willing to give up the privacy of the voters.

Yeah this. The fact they got completely played by the Conservatives in the last coalition, and failed to achieve their main goal (they lost the voting reform referendum they bargained everything away for), I am even more gloomy about the LD's prospects than I am Britain as a whole's. Maybe the Labour party will schism, and a new, strong lib-left party will form. One can but hope.
Why do you read ProductHunt? Honestly just wondering.
> which will include higher prices

Interesting. I was in a UK supermarket the other day and the asparagus on offer was from Spain and Mexico. The Mexican variety was cheaper, and just as good. Currently, Mexico pays a 14.4% common external tariff on this product, and it's still cheaper than what the EU (with it's massive array of agricultural subsidy) can produce. I imagine this is just the tip of the iceberg.
"because >99% of computer users are non-programmers, making the freedoms to study, modify & redistribute not directly relevant."

This is wrong. It is very relevant to users that their software be free, when they want to have it modified to fit their changing needs and when the corporation who sold it to them cannot and will not do it. (They will never do it, because either the corporation has folded since long, or it's too big to deal with small users and their petty specific needs). How many years are bugs lingering in widely used software: as long as they don't matter to a majority of users, they won't be dealt with.

So, the situation where a would-be paying customer approaches a programmer to perform some correction or maintainance on some software, is not theorical at all, and in this situation the relevance of having freedom software is directly perceived by the customer and the programmer, since the later cannot work (at any acceptable cost, technically) on proprietary software, while it would be trivial on freedom software.
The 27 member states may do anything relating to the EU as they may simply change the rules. Including extending the negotiating period.
These are pretty much the same forecasts Switzerland and Norway were supposed to face when they rejected to join the EU... people losing jobs, Swiss Franc falling, export collapsing, etc... well, it went a little bit in a different way.

OFC leaving is totally a different thing from not being in at all, but still... there are going to be pro and cons, but the economy will adapt as happened in Switzerland and Norway. Some will gain, some will lose, but the general picture can be valid only in 3-5 years after the Kingdom is out, so not before 2022.
>As Article 50 is triggered today, many European expats in Britain, as well as European-minded locals, are packing up, moving on or eyeing up their options. Brexit brain drain could spell disaster for industries like technology already facing shortages of skilled talent.

Sorry, what about the brain drain when those "European expats" came from their countries into the UK?

Or that doesn't matter because it was all "within EU" anyway?

Still, UK hadn't paid for their education and other benefits while they were growing up in their native countries, and their native countries didn't get taxes from those people while they were living in the UK.

And those countries would also like to have their scientists etc stay and work there to improve the country's industry and economy.

Brain drain works both ways. You can't lament brain drain from an economy that actually caused brain drain, and now those brains leave it.
The US will have the chance to make a different decision in 4 years and then again in 4 years after that. The UK will not.
I can't speak for gambiting, but I'm also going to leave the UK as a direct consequence of Brexit. It's not that it would be impossible to get some visa if I really wanted, it's that revoking the freedom of movement sends a strong signal that they don't want us here.

When I was choosing where I'd go for university, the UK wouldn't have even made the shortlist if moving here was even slightly more inconvenient than just walking in. The only thing the UK had going for it is that I already knew the language. There are plenty of other places in Europe where skilled labour is in demand.

It's virtually impossible to have tight and effective immigration controls, and open EU border. Also if UK ever passes laws that allow produce with EU import restrictions to be available it will mean hard customs border too... NI is at a genuine risk of crisis, or soft Brexit.
Adaptive API access control
There is no restriction anywhere on the content or effect of the agreement reached under Article 50, so in principle the exit terms could be readmission, which is equivalent to aborting the process by universal agreement (it could also be to extend the term for which they are still in the EU pending exit indefinitely, with the same effect.)

Once Article 50 is triggered, there are two possibilities: either they are out with no special status in two years because no other agreement is reached before that time, or some agreement is reached within two years which gives some other terms, which terms are nowhere restricted.
I'm not sure if the question is about reading habits on HN, or the reading habits of the HN demographic.

If it is the former, I middle-click 3-4 articles a day, and if they are also juicy topics, I middle-click the comments links as well.

If it is the latter, I read tons of articles a day (avg 20), some related to tech, but mostly not. I read in the morning, at lunch (very productive time to read), and after dinner.

Offline: I have subscriptions to dead-tree versions of Time, Harvard Business Review, and Foreign Affairs. I also have 4-5 books on the go at any given time, mostly nonfiction. I go through phases, and my last major one was statistics and category theory.

Online: Slashdot, Reddit, HN, Marginal Revolution, John D Cook, Farnam Street, Quora, and a bunch of data science related blogs. I also read articles on the getpocket.com recommended list, and I find myself drawn to reading articles on The Atlantic.

France aided the UK and was the UK's best ally during the campaign. They declared an arms embargo against Argentina, they allowed use of french controlled ports in West Africa, they provided lots of information about Exocet missiles and they aided British intelligence in preventing Argentina obtaining more of them.

Our biggest "frenemies" during the Falklands were the USA and Israel. Israel were selling them arms (or attempting to) throughout the war and the USA was neutral (with lots of Argentinian sympathy) until their hand was forced.

15 Cool New Apple Watch 3 Features You Should Know
I'm very new to containers, but I think I'm starting to get the hype a bit. Recently I was working on a couple of personal projects, and for one I wanted a Postgres server, and for the other PhantomJS so that I could do some webscraping. Since I try to keep my projects self-contained I try to avoid installing software onto my Mac. So my usual workflow would be to use Vagrant (sometimes with Ansible) to configure a VM. I do this infrequently enough that I can never remember the syntax, and there's a relatively long feedback loop when trying to debug install commands, permissions etc. I gave Docker a try out of frustration, but was simply delighted when I discovered that I could just download and start Postgres in a self-contained way. And reset it or remove it trivially. I know there's a lot more to containers than this, but it was an eye-opener for me.
It's actually simpler than that. I just read the comment. It clearly says that hate crimes are largely made up.
The past three companies I've worked for that were doing circuit board design expressly forbid the use of tantalum capacitors because they are surface mounted (SMT) two-terminal parts that have polarity. In other words, tantalum caps have a + and a - terminal and are damaged when reverse voltage is applied. Blanket ban on tantalum use was to avoid mistakes during PCB assembly in manufacturing where caps are oriented incorrectly.

Edit: Maybe I misunderstood the reason for a blanket ban of tantalums. The fact remains, the ban was real.

What are some of the places where tantalum capacitors are required and ceramic capacitors just can't get the job done?

GP's muddled claim was "Autonomy is crucial to happiness". Given Denmark (an EU country) is number two (and has been number one three times in the past), his claim is wrong on it's face.

It's pretty understandable. Especially considering how that user came in asking how to uninstall because Apple tried to copy them too.
To be honest - one of the most disheartening parts of this experience is the lack of coherent opposition to the process being carried out. It's like we've moved quickly from a slender majority in a doubtful referendum to an almost entire acceptance that the consequence must be the 'hard' brexit narrative.

The only voices actively trying to counter that are former prime ministers (sorry Tony - right message, really really wrong guy) and the Lib Dems who lack the political presence at the moment.

When do we get a meaningful opposition to this?

I know there has been intra-nation peace in western Europe since the end of WWII, but how do we know it was due to the EU?

Both the peace and the EU would seem to as easily explained by the post war situation where European nations were now second tier economicly, and threatened by a big external nation. The reward for war was no longer there, and the need for cooperation was high.
Sure, what could possibly go wrong with a radical decision taken by a narrow majority, with a significant part of the voters that supported it having racist motivations (even if the concept of Brexit itself is not racist), others motivated by lies (millions to the NHS et al) and the vast majority of economists describing it as a shoot in the foot?

I don't think it will be "doomsday" either, but I think believing that things won't go downwards is an exercise in self-fooling.
It's really not. The American states were a loosely organized confederacy at outset as well. India has multiple languages. And of course the long history of empires, like the Ottoman, or Spanish control of Latin America. Yes they rise and fall, but often over the course of centuries and well out of the observational abilities of the human lifespan. There's nothing inevitable about the EU, in either direction.

I wouldn't call this a "definitive" guide. Because there's a lot that's not covered. I mean it's great and helped me through the projects in a networking course, but I had to look elsewhere for a lot of stuff like multi threading.

For similar content I think this is something we've lost with the modern Internet. The web used to be full of people posting tutorials and how to's. Seems like hobby and indie game dev generated a lot of this type of content. I remember flipcode and gamedev.net had a lot of material on a lot of subjects (including networking) in their article and tutorials sections. These are probably archived somewhere.

>> I am an European living and working in the UK

You are lucky then as you always have the choice to leave the UK and enjoy the protections of the EU.

A lot of the coverage is focussed on trade/immigration etc. but there are lots of wonderful human rights protections and consumer protections that are provided by the EU which the British government will be excited to get rid of. It's that that worries me.

Take the surveillance overreach for example. Thanks to it violating EU law there now has to be a rethink. Or the Human Rights Act that the tory's have wanted rid of since Cameron was in office - because they don't like some of the rights if guarantees.

There are things more serious than the economy.
I'll say what I said before the referendum: the EU cannot strive for the closest relationship possible because that would encourage other countries to leave. There must be a price, an ongoing cost.

Britain is trapped with a forked strategy: it can go the Singapore route or the supplicant route. The two are incompatible and neither of them is realistically feasible. The Singapore route is what hard Brexiteers want but there's no mandate for it, and nor is there plurality of votes in it. The supplicant route is what Brexiteers will attack, and there probably isn't a majority of votes in the Tory party for it.

The UK's political landscape are in the wrong shape for the negotiation to come. Parties would need to be configured into those that are split according to negotiating strategy. Since they aren't, the fork will weaken Britain's negotiation throughout; every attempt to go down one road will face extreme resistance from those who prefer the other path.

Britain is screwed, AFAICT. Myself, I'm aiming at November or so to get out.
What exactly would you expect to change when nothing has actually changed yet?

What you're saying is as disingenuous as me saying that since all the horrible things people are afraid Trump didn't happy after the election before he came to power there was nothing to worry about.
I couldn't agree more. We've seen months of hysterics in the press and all over social media. It's unwarranted but it seems stuck in some sort of feedback loop.

I hope we'll get your ongoing rights in the UK sorted quickly. I'm fairly certain we will. Some stuff may be worse, some better.

The hysteria is doing nobody any favours - I've friends in London who seem convinced we're on our way to ethnic cleansing and probably war. They're scared, over very little.
When a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound? What a silly question: It's just semantics! Of course, it does release acoustic energy, when its motion causes vibrations in the air. If there is no one near enough for this energy to move their eardrum and be perceived by the brain, no one will hear the tree fall.

Likewise, are these landmarks in the right location? George is saying that the 4 Corners monument and the Greenwich meridian were supposed to be at certain points, and they were installed at different points. You're retroactively redefining those points to be "where the monuments are".

It's perfectly reasonable to talk about the difference between the intended position and the actual position, and when the intended position makes more sense - for example, going X degrees east or west of the meridian should put you at X degrees. If the meridian does not go through the axis of rotation of the earth, so that measurements at other points do not put you at X degrees, it's sensible to say that the meridian is off.
