> politicians have always ignored this request

They absolutely haven't - policy has been rewritten over the past couple of decades to make immigration extremely difficult.

What I suspect is going on is that some people want the absolute number of non-"ethnically british" people reduced, which is ethically impossible given that many were in fact born here or already achieved ILR.

Nobody is being "replaced".
Burning electricity is not the only way we know to secure a currency, though. It's the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies that requires their high operational costs, because the "good guys" and the "bad guys" are equal from the point of view of the protocol, so the "good guys" need to spend more than any "bad guy" can afford.

A centralized currency lets the central source of trust protect their security at far lower cost.
> Tick here if you're aware that X% of doctors and nurses on the NHS are from the EU and reducing their number will result in more delays and/or need to have more doctors/nurses from non-EU countries

The racists don't believe this, and want to get rid of those workers, and (delusionally) think we can train our own nurses and doctors and allied health professionals. They just want europeans out, and they'd vote brexit.[1]

But government knows that the NHS cannot run without immigrant staff, and all EU NHS staff have already been told that they're guaranteed to be allowed to stay in the UK. (Although this has happened very late, and many staff have already left).

So we've ended up at a situation that is worse for everyone: the racists are unhappy because we've increase non-EU immigration, and because we've guaranteed residence for EU NHS staff; the NHS is unhappy because employing staff is now much harder (and it's already hard enough).

My implication is that on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being completely unaccountable that companies that are willfully negligent should be at 10. I'm not arguing that that companies who are accidentally negligent should be at 0.

If I pre-meditate to purposely use my car to kill someone that is a different crime than if I am driving following all the rules of the road and I don't notice the person crossing the street until it is too late.
A lot depends on what happens to the EU nationals currently resident here. At some point their status will be crystallised. It's unlikely but if the government goes for "everyone now has 6 weeks to leave or you're deported", that's riot material.
Also, some of those politicians could be traders too and mixing the presage for profit ;)
Yeap! And if you're on a private network you can leak internal domain names. Or, if you some hosts that are available publicly but resolve differently internally, you'll get the wrong IP. I think the only real solution is to kill Google's DNS IPs in your routing table.
The problem is you can't have a multiple choice referendum because it would split the leave vote. For example:
A. "Hard" Brexit

B. "Soft" Brexit

C. No Brexit

Brexitors would be somewhat split between A and B, and all remainers would pick C.

Can I add some disclaimers to?

* Tick here if you are aware there are shortages of doctors and nurses (and other skilled professions) in eastern European countries like Romania because trained professionals tend to come to western Europe to work. This is also true for developing countries.

* Tick here if you understand while in the EU the UK has effectively zero control over it's immigration and trade.
It was a nice read but the developer specifically says he works by "feeling", and that makes the headline irrelevant.

For important decisions, I wait for one of those moments where you forget everything else around you, and I wait until i have a good feeling about it. Sometimes this happens when I’m in a cafe or restaurant, sitting in front of my laptop, not moving for a very long time. It must be very funny, or irritating, for other people to see that.

So, not much to learn here for me how to succeed in the microsoft app store. One guy with feelings about important decisions. Good for him!
We work in smaller teams in a scrum like environment. Our tasks are small ranging from 2-7 days mostly. To make it easier for us developers to communicate estimations higher up, we do following :

* Split work as small as possible, and atomic so that aborting/undoing is possible if required. Like all teams we do throw away a lot of stuff.
* If a task contains 5 bullets (best case), we would only give an estimate for the bullets that we know for sure can be done without further dependencies and complications. We refrain from providing an overall estimate in such cases.
* We often proceed with starting a task, and as the task progresses and more clarity emerges, we revise the estimate. Importantly we are encouraged to raise flags as early as possible.
* We have dev servers that we spin out frequently to stage things that are in progress to test. They may break but give us early feedback which is crucial. Sometimes helps to stop a task earlier rather than later.

Still not a perfect system, but works for us without causing too much friction.
Indian Railways to deploy drones to monitor projects
If their expensive tools were misconfigured in a manner to render them effectively useless than they didn't have good procedures and follow best practices. Best practices would have included testing and auditing procedures both at deployment and ongoing to verify that they were operating as intended. By not having the proper auditing in place Equifax did allow the breach to occur.
I’d rather attack this from the other side: There will always be large aggregations of semi-public consumer data, and there will always be breaches... unless we make that data less valuable for criminal enterprises.

Increase the penalties for banks and other institutions that issue fraudulent credit or otherwise fail to properly identify and authenticate the consumers with whom they’re doing business. Simply having the details of my credit report and my Social Security number should not be enough to open a bank account in my name.
That's a bit more cynical than I think the situation merits. Is it really so bad to have at least a defined lower bound and enforcement mechanism for prosecuting negligence in information security? Also, it will be under the FTC, not a newly defined agency.

Never worked with professional-in-other-field types? Nothing is ever 100% specified, either initially or at any moment going forward. Best you can do is pick highlights from the stream of desires and try to code to those, and expect to get it 'wrong' 100% of the time until its suddenly OK for any one of a hundred reasons.

Or have someone suddenly cut the contract off and never finish.

Good software without tests: not easy but can, rarely, happen anyway.
Practically? What does that even mean? Of course there are moral questions regarding the practice of cannibalism! Cannibalism still existed as a traditional practice in the twentieth century, so it is a moral question. And ethically speaking, there are many things to say about it.

The reason I brought it up is because I think it sets a line when discussing the right to kill for food: there are cases in which no harm comes of it, and other cases in which the practice would be highly objectionable.

Agreed completely. PCI and many data protection laws and industry frameworks already dictate that you should discard data as soon as you no longer need it and not collect sensitive data unless you legitimately need it.

That can be part of the law.
This is already quite a slow attack (about 1-2kb of memory per second IIRC), so if you slow that down by a single order of magnitude it might just as well become impractical.

I'm not very knowledgeable about all of this but :

>> A small fraction of meteorites come from Mars (about 180) and the Moon (about 275).

How come that the moon being closer to earth, we have just 50% more meteorites Mars ? And how come we have so many more from the asteroid belt ?
Universes are very unlikely. Life is very unlikely.

Applying statistical analysis to single instances of things always seems like a major flaw to me - it being unlikely means that if we have a million earths few will have extra-solar matter on them. It doesn't really help when you have one Earth.

Greatly appreciate the clarification.
If you go back a few years, there was a large hysteria across much of the Eurozone about German domination of the bloc. Magazine cover after magazine cover painting them in terrible light, including some going so far as to reference back to Nazi times.

That coincided with the post effects of the great recession, when Germany essentially refused to allow more liberal central bank posturing and action to try to follow the more aggressive US Fed lead on how to properly respond to the terrible recession and the financial system consequences. Germany wanted a very restrictive, conservative approach. There was a split at that point between the members that were suffering and Germany which was in mostly solid shape (the peak of the Greek disaster was also near a peak of the anti-German sentiment).

The US recovery took root relatively quickly, after about a year, thanks in part to the Fed taking aggressive action to stabilize the banks and financial system (the US would have seen Citi, Bank of America, etc. all collapse otherwise; those banks are now extremely healthy and printing massive profits again). It was only when the ECB finally copied the Fed's approach that the broad EU and Eurozone economies began to rapidly recover (and for those already in good shape, it has pushed them into something closer to economic boom). You can look at a chart of EU or Eurozone economic growth, you'll see a nasty double recessionary dip around 2011-2012. After that, the ECB finally began to shift its behavior and do what they should have done years prior, which has led to a sustained recovery in most parts of the EU since then (you see it in meaningfully increased growth rates, from Finland finally recovering after a disastrous 8-10 years, to Spain and Portugal finally seeing serious improvement, to German growth picking up, to French unemployment finally declining significantly, etc).

I wouldn't agree with that. First, Uber drivers are roaming the streets constantly, so it's likely there will be one within close proximity to you. Or at least much more likely than an ambulance, which are usually stationed at fixed locations (Hospitals, Fire Stations). Further, Ambulances are crazy expensive. So if it's not an absolutely critical emergency, it makes much more financial sense to just use an Uber. WAAAAYYY cheaper. Like, not even in the same ballpark cheaper. Even if you have insurance, you might have to pay a few hundred dollars co-pay for an ambulance ride.

It's basically the same reason the urgent care clinics have grown so much in popularity. It used to be you either went to the ER, or waited a few days to get an appointment with your physician. Now there's an affordable middle ground that makes sense in the cases that are urgent and can't wait, but aren't life threatening in any way.

both the leave and remain group seemed to leave voters mostly thinking, “the other choice sounds bad,”

Absolutely, this. The remain campaign was actually labelled "Project Fear" [0], I mean if that doesn't say it all I don't know what does ..

There was never, any actual discussion of what brexit means. How it would look. What consitutional adjustments would be made. Simply a binary "Stay" or "Leave" on the Ballot, which strikes me as particularly absurd and should in some way undermine the constitutionality of it.

Brexit to me, is the outcome of an absolute failure in governance by all concerned, whatever the outcome, and whatever outcome was envisaged by those that voted for it. ..

How

> we might consider that they actually stand to benefit far less (or have plausible reasons to feel this way) from the EU than someone (such as the average HN reader)

Not really. I've seen documentaries where they showed how good Europe was (and still is) to the countryside in many countries where the State didn't allocate any resources and all of a sudden they had money to build libraries in small villages. Those villagers just didn't know where that money came from, but that doesn't change the fact. My girlfriend's sister lives in the Polish country and Europe is giving the area money to take care of the national park around her house that was previously left abandoned and in such bad conditions that you couldn't even walk around with the vegetation left to itself.

> I do, and I've taken every opportunity that membership has afforded me. I still don't like how (or by whom) it is run or how expansive its powers have become over time.

Actually, the EU seems to be pretty efficient, considered the huge amount of stuff they do. Of course, there's always room to complain, but I don't see any better alternative out there. If you're from the UK though, you'll get to see if your government is a better option I guess?

It's important to note that while you may not see a ATM fee, there is one inherent to running the network and machine. Typically the owner of the machine will charge the bank/network for the transaction.

In the same way, when you transfer your money to your friend 'for free' using a direct bank transfer, it might be free to the user at the point of use, but it's being paid for somewhere, indirectly.

When I pay for $20 of groceries with a credit/debit card, someone is paying a transaction fee somewhere. You don't see that as the end-user, although you may be aware of it.

In a similar vein, consider that cash costs money to design, print, enforce anti-forgery, replace over time etc. All costs that have to be borne by the system that should be considered if you're going to compare 'giving your mate $20' vs. 'giving your mate some BTC'.
What's your definition of replaced? If Europeans didn't kill any native Americans, but just replaced them demographically despite the them not consenting would that be moral in your opinion? Because that's what's happening.

>A country with a rich and complicated history

> Search Google or YouTube for “weird Japan,” and you’ll find a goldmine of terrible content stereotyping Japan as the sum of its most bizarre media and traditions — a metric that would reflect poorly on any country — and treating the idiosyncrasies of its oddest subcultures as quirky national characteristics.

Yes, if you search for "weird Japan", instead of, I don't know... "Japan history" you'll find different videos. Same thing if you take a bit of a stereotype about Americans. Search "Crazy America" and you'll get a ton of videos about that too. Is that an awful stereotype that cannot allow us to appreciate the history and culture of the United States?

> The internet has often repackaged the complexity of Japanese culture as a series of bizarre, cartoonish memes, but it is particularly sad to see the deaths of Japanese people treated as macabre entertainment.

The internet has also done the same thing with American culture. "Muh freedom", calling Americans "burgers", etc is all over the internet. The simple truth of the matter is, Japanese culture is pretty different to American culture. People like things that are different about the cultures, why would they care about the things that are the same?

>My connection to this story is personal as well.

I could have guessed that after the first paragraph.

All that said, I'm not trying to defend Logan Paul specifically, I really don't like that guy and find him to be a talentless moron. I just think this whole "The internet is only reductionist towards MY culture!" thing I see constantly to be ridiculous. Let people have their jokes, let them have their entertainment. What I find the most annoying is the brazen lack of respect that Logan showed in his videos. His antics wouldn't be acceptable in the United States, so it frustrates me because now there are people in Japan who think that is how Americans act. The difference is, I don't blame them for thinking that if that's their only interaction with an American.

The Japanese are notorious for loving to see their culture spread to other places. If all Americans know about Japanese culture is Kimonos, tentacle porn, anime, ninjas and samurai; I'd be willing to bet the majority of Japanese people would be happy they even knew that much. To expect people in one country to know everything about another country without ever even visiting, or living there, is asinine. Foreign people only knowing certain things is completely expected.

Enterprises are used to "simple" projects taking forever.

So far as accuracy expectations go, those have to be managed. There are real requirements for particular applications, and you have to do "well enough". Sometimes the status quo is pretty bad and it is easy to improve on; sometimes there are regulatory requirements or political (within the organization) concerns that will make A.I. a tough sell.

BTW, any commercially useful A.I. is "superhuman" in some way in the same sense that a pocket calculator or bulldozer is superhuman. If a human is "better" at doing something than an A.I., then there is no point of developing an A.I.
> Tick here if you understand while in the EU the UK has effectively zero control over it's immigration and trade.

- "its" not "it's"

- the UK retains some control of immigration w.r.t EU citizens (some of which they chose not to enforce and it also allows UK citizens to avail of freedom of movement as well) and full control of the immigration of non-EU citizens, so your assertion is false

- Brain drain is debatable, there was never a position for a lot of them in the 1st place (and they might just go somewhere else)
In some circles, it has been mooted that the discussions going on over Northern Ireland are in preparation for this eventuality. That the UK is hedging against an eventual break up and wants to figure out how best to mitigate any ill effects of this for all concerned.

Who knows when the flaw in their process was introduced? Perhaps it passed all the audits and tests, but got misconfigured later. There's no doubt or question that the process was flawed (in that the tools were silently failing and that a single human failure could disrupt their security). The point is, that even with solid processes and procedures, it is impossible to have perfect security. No doubt they (and every other company) will have a much higher focus on security going forward, but at the time they thought they were adequately protected. Their policies were sound, but their execution was flawed, and they got burned.
