Absolutely and I do see the value of anti AIDS drugs, that was not the point. I'm saying value is a subjective thing. Something does not have intrinsic value, things have value to people, and sometimes something is valued so broadly that it is of value to society at large indeed.

It is of course nice to have work of which you personally value the output. But in your case, someone else values your output and pays you to produce it. Calling your work "without value" is thus a bit strange to me.

While I appreciate Brexit hasn't happened yet there's little to no evidence yet of any exodus of highly skilled workforces. London remains an incredibly attractive destination for inflows of both investment, workers and tourists. Will some companies leave, no doubt, however the high profile mass departure of European HQs and banks has yet to bear out.

To the OP, and going back to the article, a major issue is that of services, our major export. The EU does not have a single market in services, and has shown little interest in progressing it. It isn't so much Deutsche Bank as the mittelstand that demonstrates that the EU as a whole favours particular economic systems. Italy is a prime example of a sclerotic services sector that their own government has failed to reform, despite the EU being willing and able to influence the appointment of Mario Monti it isn't willing to impose a free market in service in the same way it has for goods - and stand up to blatant protectionism.

As someone who lives in a country where loads of Hungarians move to because they don't like their government I'm not sure I can agree. From what I can see here Hungary has a massive brain drain and unless you live in Budapest the state of infrastructure and public services is less than stellar. Hungarians consistently poll as one of the most unhappy countries in the EU with trust to their own government.
> "Equifax allowed personal data on more than half the adults in the country to get stolen, and its legal liability is so limited that it may end up making money off the breach."

"Allowed"? She phrases that to make it sound like Equifax just left the front door open. In truth, they were hacked by sophisticated criminals (possibly state sponsored), who pinpointed a flaw in their security and exploited it. There was a detailed Bloomberg article that covered the breach in depth. They found that Equifax had paid top dollar for solid tools, but they were misconfigured (or misused) in such a way as to actually not be working. They found that they had good written procedures. Equifax knew about this vulnerability, and thought they had patched it. So how is any of that "allowed"?

In addition, Equifax stock took a huge dip and hasn't recovered (down 21 as of this morning). They're also going to provide features so that all consumers (whether they were potentially impacted by the breach or not) will be able to lock and unlock their credit file, for free, forever. So not only did they take a big hit in terms of stock price, they are giving away the revenue generating lock and unlock service.

From Reddit (r/cryptocurrency) - a friend messaged me this today:

I'm a South Korean citizen. Let me just tell you what
just happened. About 4 hours ago, Ministry of Justice
issued a statement that the SK government is seeking
to ban all crypto exchanges. They explicitly stated
that this was a decision that was well communicated
between various branches of the government. This
caused the market to crash, and really caused a media
firestorm among Koreans.

And then 2 hours ago, the Ministry of Finance and the
Blue House issued a statement that this decision to
ban all exchanges wasn't something that was
unilaterally agreed upon, and that the statement made
by the MoJ was not their stance on this matter. Now
here is my speculation on what happened.

There was a unilateral agreement to shut all exchanges,
but as you all would know, this is a very anti-democratic
and anti-capitalistic thing to do. So they decided to send
out a trial balloon.

When the statement was made it caused an outrage, as
there are approximately 2 million crypto investors
in SK. National elections are held on April, so to
control the damage I think the Blue House changed
its mind and decided to throw the MoJ under the bus.
A lot of Koreans are speculating that this is what
happened under the hood, which is very amateurish. I
just feel bad for all the guys who cut losses today.

I normally look at the task and have a min of 2 hrs -

> 2 hrs - Simple Tasks - text change, update or insert. The estimate includes any admin on top
> 4 hrs - Slightly harder tasks - change method, single new method - inc unit testing, and admin

Then it gets more complicated - I try to break down into the above problem sizes, and attach a confidence level to the estimate of low, medium, high and attach a contingcy of 1.25(high)-2(low)

I try not to spend too long on the estimates, unless its a later iteration as the initial round often requires redesign
> there's little to no evidence yet of any exodus of highly skilled workforces

The NHS has plenty of evidence that EU workers (doctors, nurses, allied health professionals -- all skilled staff, all hard to replace from UK recruits) are leaving, and that's despite the clear assurances given by SoS Health that EU NHS staff are guaranteed to be allowed to stay.

EDIT: the guarantee of being allowed to stay was provided rather late, so many people left before it was given, but they're still leaving.

> and the EU of course must consult her in setting these.

What? No. The Eu didn't commit to a single thing in that agreement, beyond graciously accepting for the UK to pay its bills and letting it trade as long as they follow EU rules.

The UK will end up like Norway: paying the price for selling into the EU, without any say in EU rules. Which is exactly what was predicted at the start, and makes the Uk a de-facto vassal state.

Brexit is so great.

Of course, he meant a 52-48 result the other way.

Your first argument boils down to "it's difficult to leave so why bother". That's an objectively terrible reason to stay, no matter your political affiliation or feelings about the EU.

As far as the "old people did this to us" meme. The 75% of young people who purportedly are so strongly against brexit probably should have bothered to vote if they wanted that outcome.

Additionally, there are other factors than just age that correspond to voting outcome. E.g. degree education, having a passport, income level.

And if we afford those people a bit of empathy rather than casting them all as gullible fools or bad people, 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) who has the privilege to e.g. be choosy about employment opportunities, be able to afford educating themselves, be able to afford to travel at will.

In any case there are many reasons to feel ambivalent about the EU. 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.
Most of what you wrote is mis-information, for example it is written in the Repeal Bill [1] that all existing EU legislation will be copied across into domestic UK law to ensure a smooth transition on the day after Brexit.

Trade wise, there will be bumps, but it is mutually beneficial to both us and the EU to keep trading as much as possible the same as it is now. The only benefactors from making trading more difficult are the EU politicians who want to 'make an example of the UK' (Michel Barnier words).

Also these 'old people' were there when the UK voted to join the EU in 1975. So if they want out, then maybe they are seeing something you are not.

I agree. PCI is way too rigid. But you wouldn't want something like that for legislation anyway. I don't want Congress picking my security standards. But I think there should be some bar that companies can reach that protects them from the most serious penalties of any laws.

That bar may even move depending on factors like revenue, number of users, and sensitivity of data.

> On the other hand, simply ensuring that the financial penalties are in line with the damage done should be enough to solve the issue. You said yourself that boards won’t agree to spend money. If they saw a huge financial downside risk they would be more likely to invest in security.

I completely agree. Not sure if it came off correctly but that was the point of my edit at the end.
The first question was "How would you do any of the below?" which is easier to answer when it's apparent what problem an extension is solving.

The second question was "Where is this git-time-machine equivalent?" which is easier to answer when one knows what a user is expected to accomplish by using it, specifically the graphical part.

I think the Atom developers are doing the right thing now by focusing on performance more than useless graphics. Right now I recommend vscode to other people even though I'll probably always use emacs myself.

Yes.

> a deal that kept the UK in the Customs Union and Single Market for goods, but not for services.

The EU (which is calling the shots) has repeatedly said that the Four Freedoms are inseparable. So such a deal seems unlikely.
Thing is everyone is starting to recognise the whole brexit story is a rather miserable one that has little shot at a happy end.

So I'd imagine that a second vote would end in favour of remain by a more conclusive margin than the first.

Hmm. Does that include resumption of armed conflict in NI? That's a possibility but there's no real tradition of this in England.

I can't see how we'd actually get to armed conflict unless the government starts it by mistake.

More than chaos I'm worried that it's going to be used as an excuse to ram through a lot of unpopular and horrible reforms 'under the radar'. Maybe NHS sell offs or a tax hike on "people who work" similar to recent Trump one.

You could practically see the Tories salivating when they mulled over the great repeal bill.

There are some positives - bringing the pound down is good for manufacturing output and employment. This is especially good for some of the more neglected areas of the UK. Of course, that will only give Londoners more reason to despise them - it's probably going to be worst for the London economy.

Just going to point out here that Brexit appears to be the ultimate in identitarian politics and that identitarian politics is all about divide and conquer and leave it at that.
Well timed.

I just had my annual performance review, and it was brought up that my time estimates are consistently 'off'. The actual complaint was ridiculous because I typically get my work done faster than my estimate.

So, you order 'food' at a restaurant, and they bring you a nice filet mignon, and you criticize them for not bringing you leftover chicken.

Being forced, in a corporate setting, to come up with a time estimate without any information other than a 100,000 foot view of a project, combined with ongoing commitments, interruptions, meetings, conference calls etc is absolutely ludicrous. So I tend to estimate high. But not overtly high. Some projects still run over (usually owing to not having anywhere near enough info to estimate). These are not mentioned during the review, only those that were delivered significantly under.

Then to be criticized for over delivering during performance reviews at year end... Anybody looking for a programmer with 30+ years of experience?

Yes, the point being that it is (generally) easier to control a few government decision makers than exactly everyone who can make a website and start a cryptocurrency first node.

There are many international institutions that check such things (IMF, or just the international money markets, etc). Basically everything that the cryptocurrency-libertarians folks keep on ignoring: turns out such problems were basically solved already.
this euro currency is set to die. The only question is WHEN. Unfortunately, economists are not the ones to decide, but the only politicians are. And people vote ignorant politicians and talk about macro-economy like they do on football matches. In the long run, Brexit will be a GOOD thing for the British but for the wrong reason (xenophobia).

From my little time in the UK right before the Brexit vote, similar patterns emerged in public discourse about the vote.

Disclaimed: anecdata below.

From the few people I talked to, both the leave and remain group seemed to leave voters mostly thinking, “the other choice sounds bad,” rather than having real strong reasons and desired outcomes in favor of voting one way or the other. It was a fear-driven vote, one to avoid a bad outcome rather than gain a good outcome.

Similar to the US Presidential election, people tended to have stronger opinions against the other candidate than for their own candidate.
The irony is that Brexit will almost certainly mean an increase in immigration from non-EU countries - which is bad economically (EU migrants tend to be contributors to the UK economy and non-EU migrants don't - mainly due to the latter moving later in life with families) and, I suspect, not what a lot of leave voters were actually wanting to happen.
Apologies, but Crypto notwithstanding, your whole post about "everything" is nonsense. Just because value is not immediately obvious to you personally, it doesn't follow that this value is zero. Just because you see a bunch of tall buildings and people in them and you don't know what they do, it doesn't follow that there is no value to what they do.
