The main thing with Brexit is that the British people had a referendum about it which decided the matter. The elected politicans need to follow that direction. So it's unlikely that it can be reverted without damaging the system of UK democracy.

The lib Dems wanted a second referendum about what it would mean, I think, e.g. soft Vs hard.

So it can't really be reversed but the angle can be changed as that has always been unclear.

I imagined something like the Soviet "Shtrafbat", battalions made up of prisoners and other undesirables.

Of couse the shtrafniks will die in a terrible conflagration when they bump their battery, but think of all the expensive equipment taxpayers can buy for them, and a use for the prison population! Of course the prisoners will be rented to the state for a nominal fee, and there will be compensation to PrisonCo when their property is damaged. It's a win-win-win!

> Why not include the Intel 8080/Datapoint 2200, which introduced the basic instruction set and architecture?

The Intel 8080 used a different instruction set (google it). The basic instruction set was introduced with the Intel 8086 and Intel 8088 and was not binary compatible with the Intel 8080. Though Intel claimed that 8080 software could easily be ported on a source level by search and replace in the assembly code.

The Zilog Z80 extended the instruction set of the Intel 8080 and defined a new assembly language for it. I heard one of the reason that Zilog invented the new assembly language was also because of intellectual property - nevertheless one can rather objectively say that Zilog's assembly language was better than Intel's. For the assembly language for the Intel 8088/8086 Intel took lots of inspirations from Zilog (google and judge for yourself - in particular compare 8080 assembly code (Intel's assembly language), Z80 assembly code and 8088/8086 assembly code).

Yes, real question to ask is, why is a good produced?

In a central planned system that is a policy decision based on the knowledge the planners have.

In a market based system that decision is decentralized to the actors in that system and therefore the rate of innovation is based on the sum of the actors distributed knowledge, that sum will always be more than that of a centralized body.

Hayek described that as the Local knowledge problem.

From what I understand, the US legal system has the jury duty as a form of sortition, who make life or death decisions.

It is a solution to make the governing bodies more inclusive and representative, which is the title of the article. No winner takes all, no fake news, no votes buying, no suspicious campaign donations, probably no 2 party system, less oligarchies, corruption and nepotism. What is not to like? Wikipedia [1] does list a couple of points, all debatable and/or easily countered imo.

I also happen to like how seamlessly it integrates with the current representative model and remains scalable as opposed to more direct approaches.

Even Lib Dem failed to attract people, and I have to say that surprised me a bit, as the 'center' seems to have worked for Macron in france -- perhaps they lacked a figurehead?

As a staunch centrist liberal, I'd have to agree I'm surprised :)

The lack of a central figure is definitely part of it. Tim Farron is a nice guy, but not much of a political heavyweight unfortunately. I still think they're suffering from the hangover of the 2010 coalition, and as ever voters are turned off by the feeling that a Lib Dem vote is 'wasted' which—thanks to FPTP—it often is.

I'm starting to wonder whether this is a possible ploy by the Tories to sit out of what could be a disastrous spell in politics, given that Corbyn will likely pursue Brexit if he becomes PM.

I like Corbyn, and I think he's done tremendously with a great manifesto, but it still remains to be seen if he can lead a country. He's in his element in an election, as he's been a campaigner and an activist throughout his career. It might make more sense to ignore the DUP, and to allow Labour to try and form a progressive alliance, hoping that the economy will falter under Brexit and a coalition government.
This is a problem that the upper house in a bicameral system is supposed to solve.

The lower house is assigned to smaller regions, with one representative per region. If every single region has party X at 20% of the vote (and always lower than another candidate), then every region has individually voted for someone else.

The upper house is assigned to larger regions, with multiple representatives per region. You don't have to have to come first to have at least one representative in the upper house. As an example, in my state (victoria, australia) we have 12 senators. They take the total vote count and figure out how many votes you need to get a senator. They take the party with the most votes, give them a senator, and remove X votes. Rinse, repeat. The last senator (or sometimes two) is usually decided by preference flows. At 20% of the vote, you'll be looking at 2/12 senators, and possibly a third depending on preference flow.

The problems in the US and the UK are these: the fewer senators you have per region, the harder it is to be representative, so in the US with only 2 upper house members per region there's not much scope for variation; and in the UK, the upper house isn't elected anyway. Mid-sized minorities just can't get representation (mathematically, at least) in either of those two upper houses.

Sigh, I guess I have to copy lists off the Internet and host them on Github.

I did an HR database like that for a law firm. They collected things on employees but most of it was hidden. Like Spouse name. It was 1999 using ASP and VBScript. My manager wanted everyone to know each other so he ordered me to make spose name on an employee profile page as visible. I told him that would not be a good idea if couples had a spouse of the same sex, they would get harassed. He said they don't so that stuff here and told me to do it or I get fired. So I do it and help desk is flooded with complaints that the database must be broken, etc.

Everyone was out of the closet if they had a spouse of the same sex.

Let me get the Facebook list of genders and other stuff. I got a feeling this is the start of some trend to gather more data on employees, but keep it private so you don't out anyone.

Yes, if you are creating appointments in a calendar program and want to have a daily meeting at 3pm and you are in a jurisdiction with DST, then you will need some TZ info so it knows when to wiggle the time by an hour.

But in this case, there's a lot of other information you want to store: first date in the series, repetition frequency, time of the appointment, location (e.g. "Europe/London" as opposed to "GMT" or "UTC+0" which would not be adequate). Basically, you're not so much storing a series of dates as storing a thunk for generating dates.
Why is Corbyn a weak candidate?

He had consistently poor approval ratings in the run-up to the election, and was hampered by having no support from the parliamentary party. I'd argue that he also had rather muddled and inconsistent policies, but that's open to interpretation.

Austerity is not a good solution for the future

Completely agreed, but I don't think that the correct response is that kind of leftism.
Well, if you look at all the things I mentioned in my post, they have one thing in common - they are votes to change something, not to keep it the same. To continue with my example, why should the vote be "do you want to go to war" and not "do you want to not go to war"? Because the current state is not being at war, so I'd argue you need an overwhelming support to actually go to war, since it's not a lightweight decision.

>>The EU and its supporters constantly warp the system to try and make it hard for people to leave, hard for the people to reject their policies. It is fundamentally undemocratic.

Well......I guess it's because I want to see a federal europe with all nations united into one, so of course I don't want people to leave the union. But as we are seeing now, they can. What's more, I truly believe that every EU country can reject any policy they want, what are the consequences of doing that, really? Look at Poland, Hungary - their governments are powering ahead with populist nationalist policies which are firmly against EU laws and policies, and what does EU do? They send a strongly worded warning, saying there may be sanctions. I don't think the Polish government cares - they will serve their entire term without any repercussions other than making a lot of enemies in neighbouring countries.

As for fundamentally undemocratic.....is there any country in the world which is "fundamentally democratic"? Literally no country has democracy as it was first implemented in Greece, and in most countries around the world most votes != win, just like Trump won despite not receiving the majority of votes, just like in UK the party that receives majority of votes means nothing since all that counts is seats.......we implement "democracy" in various forms all the time. So why would seat-based parliament be a democracy, but 2/3 majority requirement not?

> it cannot plan it sales. It can only estimate because it operates on a common market.

So the USSR as a whole was not selling (exporting) on a common market?

> Central planned system will just go on whatever the "sales".

I do not understand this. The "demand" of products within the USSR should not be compared to the sales of the corp, but to the corp's internal demand for stuff (e.g. office supplies).

Anyway, I'm not a proponent of central planning an economy. I see markets as a great, organic and bottom-up way of having supply and demand meet. I'm no proponent of protection-by-law of the unlimited hoarding of private property; I'm no proponent of the centralized state. Instead I'd like to see the lower level of gov't to be the most powerful. I guess I'm a mutualist.

I find myself being very skeptical about robotics' use in society. I think robotics will splinter off into many different specifically designed forms. the "irobot" dream of a humanoid robot doing all the menial tasks that humans don't want to do will never happen. Instead, there will be robots designed for specific tasks, because that specific design will be better for that purpose than any generally designed robot will. Also, AI will solve most of the use cases that i see robotics used for and it will not require the expensive electronics and manufacturing required.

Same here. I'm working on a software project (java) for years and I wrote zero testing code. The problem is that my java code is straightforward and pretty much a thin layer between complex slq-magic and external API's. Yes, I could test this 20% of the application written in java, but it would take a lot of time and I don't expect much gain from it. On the other hand it is hard to test the behaviour of an external API.
Most of the business logic resides in sql-statements. Hence it would be much more valueable to test them. But the only idea I had how to test sql statements is to automatically recreate the whole database (which is big) on a test-server for each test-case. Is there a framework for this?

I am sad to see you had a bad experience with Algolia and I can assure you that we put a lot of effort on backward compatibility:

* we have never discontinued a feature in the API since the launch

* We never broke our API clients, we proposed a new version when a new feature required a big change but we kept the previous version (and this happened only on two API client in 5 years)

For the support, this is our engineer's team working on the product that does the support and we put a lot of effort to make sure all our customers are satisfied and get the relevant answers.

Then if you got the same customer experience with a $40 machine, you have probably not used all the feature/power of the engine. I am sad to see such a feedback and you can make me accountable to make sure we will do everything we can to satisfy all our users

No. Marking something as deprecated helps during development. It doesn't help if it's a bunch of deployed code running in production that nobody has the time to maintain for third-party changes. That code will keep making those requests until they fail.

GraphQL inherently doesn't address versioning. You'd have to version each attribute and query separately by prefixing or suffixing their names. But then you'd lose the succinctness GraphQL users love it for.

The official answer is "Just add new attributes" but that means you're stuck coming up with new names for slightly different versions of existing attributes (or queries). If you try to "be bold" and make things up as you go along, your API will be littered with the equivalent of `2017-06-09_docs_final_v2_new_copy.pdf` if you take backwards compatibility serious.

Seeing how Relay is slowly turning GraphQL APIs into RPC APIs ("client sends complex query blob with parameters to server" has become "client sends query ID with parameters to server", server-side GraphQL is now an implementation detail only relevant during development), maybe the right question to ask is:

How do I version an RPC API?
