>Authoritarian voters support Brexit, liberal ones don't.

I don't think that's an accurate analysis. As far as I can tell the vote was driven mainly by economic distress, media (which papers you read) and community (a lot of people just voted the same way their friends or family did).

>The London Tech scene (which skews left/liberal) seems to be hemorrhaging talented people to Berlin and other places.

I know a lot of people in the London tech scene and I only know two off the top of my head who have gone to Europe, and I don't think Brexit was a major reason for either of them.

I also haven't seen much of a significant rise in rates. If all the valuable talent is gone surely that means I'm going to be worth more?

>Meanwhile, inflation is so bad the supermarkets are quietly reducing the quantity in boxes

That's how inflation always works in supermarkets.

>Companies with sizeable EU revenue can just set up a European subsidiary (in Ireland, etc) to conduct business in Europe from the UK (or anywhere). //

Or anywhere ... Why would you go to the bother and expense of being in UK, puppeteering a company in the EU. You just move to the EU and save yourself the cost/hastle.

I would reckon there have been no anti-Brexit riots primarily because Brexit isn't really the end of the world – it's just a ludicrously stupid, badly-handled, long-term-damaging project.

It's hard to get riot-angry that "living conditions will get gradually worse over the next decade"
Surely using performance counters only means the attacker has to do things slowly and do other things to increase noise and so avoid detection?
OK - but tell me how that would work for cars for example, to be sold in the EU they need to have a certain percentage assembled in the EU. So really all those jobs will need to jobs to Ireland to be sold in the EU.
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.

Thank you for writing your comment, and for this part in general. I voted 'Remain' but I couldn't agree more with what you wrote -- the backlash against those who voted 'Leave' has been appalling. With just a little bit more compassion, willingness to listen, and understanding, the division between both sides could possibly be healed. We seem further than ever from that, and the likelihood diminishes every day.

This is an interesting point, which may very well be the end result of Brexit. However, what was the alternative?

The UK public have consistently asked their politicians to reduce immigration since the 60s and this has been reflected over and over again in poll data. However, politicians have always ignored this request and while the UK is in the EU politicians have very little control over total number anyway.

So basically what you're saying is despite the UK public not agree with the population replacement level of immigration currently occurring in their country, they have no choice because politicians either way are going to continue to replace the population through immigration. The only choice the UK people have to choice between between replaced by EU immigrants or non-EU immigrants... Well how brilliantly immoral. Have we learnt nothing from our past?
I don't deserve to make money off this vulnerability.

Indirectly, I deserve to lose some money because I am indirectly invested in a company that made faulty products.

However, I also do not deserve to lose money to the CEO of Intel because he was able to not only know about the faulty products before his sale, but to conceal that information from me while executing the trade (not an argument against responsible disclosure).
Yes, there was extremely wide discussion in 1999 and 2000 about the dotcom party being typically somewhere between fraudulent and a giant bubble. The Buffett side of traditionalists won that argument, by a landslide. In the end, profits mattered, sales mattered, and something a lot closer to a traditional valuations model won out.

There was common discussion about junk dotcoms like TheGlobe.com, DrKoop.com, Geocities and dozens of others, and how they had no actual sustainable business (and often no plan for when they'd develop one). Scient, Viant, Razorfish, MarchFirst, and dozens of dotcom service companies were granted crazy valuations versus existing traditional peers (which is history rhyming re Ripple vs PayPal/Stripe/Square/Ant/etc).

The high burn rates, the lack of business models to actually make money, some that went public with practically no plans for how they'd make money at all, extremely high valuations on the few that were making money, and so on. These things were all very widely discussed, many skeptics were shouting about it, it wasn't popular to give them TV talking time (channels/sites like CNBC et al have a vested interest in pushing exuberence).
Imo, the deforestation in India is not that bad compared to industrial timber logging in developed economies. Most of the deforestation is due to population expansion happened in the last century and now that population growth is getting stabilised, deforestation also would stall I hope.. but it's a difficult task to regrow forests, as the place is genuinely occupied for housing or have been cultivated for centuries..
trade deals under the Common Commercial Policy also are under QMV: this is the entire point of the EU being delegated responsibility for trade

CETA is a mixed agreement: 99% of it is covered under the CCP and went into effect before it had even been voted on by most national parliaments

you can confirm for yourself from the EU's own website on CETA (http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in-focus/ceta/index_en.htm):

On 21 September 2017 CETA entered into force provisionally. As such most of the agreement now applies.
National parliaments in EU countries – and in some cases regional ones too – will then need to approve CETA before it can take full effect.

"full effect" refers to the remaining 1%, which requires unanimity -- and the 99% can go into effect even if the 1% is rejected

> I’m also puzzled what’s supposed to happen with such important stuff as rules and agreements for importing nuclear materials for powerplants (currently regulated via Euratom), regulations regarding medicine/medical treatment (currently also handled on a european level) and all of that stuff.

Obviously there are already emergency plans to set up massive bureaucracies to replace the european ones. Just like there are enormous customs stations being built at the channel tunnel, the construction of which started the day after the election.

Or it isn't.

Because in the end the sheer enormity of the task probably is too much to take in, and even the slightest risk that all of this will somehow "go away" or "be delayed" means politicians aren't really ready to start burying billions of pounds in these projects. And the deadlines creep ever closer.

This at least leads me to think that the outcome of theis "first brexit" negotiaion will be that the Brexit proper will happen in X years. The UK will keep paying nearly all of what it's paying PLUS costs to move EU things from Britain to the rest of europe. The bargaining space is the rebate the UK had before brexit, that is, the EU could possibly concede to let the UK "only" pay what it used to, and not significantly more.
One agile methodology is to use fibonacci numbers, I think its called planning poker out of scrum. Then you assign the numbers to tasks/tickets with the bounds being:

* 1 being easy, doable in a day

* 13 being too many unknowns, have no idea how long

This works for estimating the size/scope of work, but does not really work for estimating time. Estimating time is mostly pointless as there are unknowns that come up, even on small tasks, especially dealing with existing systems.

What this does provide if you use the numbers consistently is a team velocity for planning purposes. After completion of work you (as PM) can go back and look at two or four week averages of point velocity. Then future work point estimates can be grouped and rough completion timeframe estimated based on past velocity.

If you want to get better at estimating your own tasks, like if a PM is asking "pacifika, how long to do $X?" the best way is to just do more development work and you'll be more confident with your estimates. Working at a place that expects unknowns and doesn't berate people for "missing a date" is a good thing.

A way around lots of planning/estimating time is to do Continuous Delivery. Breaking up work into smaller tasks and putting them into production when they are ready. Even if this means temporary work just to put something in production ahead of other parts. Its super simple to delete temporary things later.

Having the confidence to run tests and deploy small changes to production whenever you want to alleviates a lot of waste, from a lean perspective, in the planning cycle. No meetings to coordinate lots of moving parts, no 3 releases per year with a weekend long release that people have a 50/50 confidence factor in. A simple deploy when ready.
It's easy to make statements, but if you want to make an argument I'll happily discuss our disagreements.
Trading volume has little to do with a currency's power.

To be a medium of exchange something needs to have value. Euro's are unstable due to polical issues, but the EU's economy is why it has any value in the first place. Now this has and will change over time, but it's really stability not military power that backs the adoption of USD's.
Smaller population, but bigger disposable (credit based) income? Not that I am pro brexit - quite the opposite. I think the idea that we have them over a barrel, and that we can 'have cake and eat it' is bonkers.

It was her bill to create a consumer protection agency under the Federal Reserve, with lifetime appointees in charge of levying fines agains businesses. Word on the street is the reason Warren and other Democrats were fighting tooth and nail (with absolutely no legal standing) to keep Trump from appointing the new head of that agency, was because they've been redistributing the fines collected to left wing political action groups.

I bumped into this talk today: Frank Abagnale: "Catch Me If You Can" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsMydMDi3rI

He became an FBI agent and works with data breaches. So after entertainingly describing his life story he does mention the Equifax breach at the 37m mark.

He paints a very negative picture of Equifax.

Its well worth watching the whole thing, and not just skipping to his FBI Agent opinion of Equifax.

It's partly true. You're talking about an incident where they fined a newspaper for their coverage of protests by using a law that prohibited to incite violence. It's sure not cool, but when Italy's Berlusconi was governing 3 out of 6 main TV channels where his, and it was proved in court that he actively censored the other 3 government-controlled ones. Yet, no one is/was talking about Italy becoming a dictatorship.

The truth is that the media is very pro-EU, and therefore any little thing they do is the end of the world.

Having seen how Italy was _absolutely ruined_ by both Germany-fueled mass migrations and not standing up to the EU in general, I can't really blame them for not wanting to repeat other European countries' mistake(s).

Life in Poland is pretty great, honestly. Doing business is easy (or at least 1000 times easier than Italy), very high buying power, etc., and no tanks on the streets in sight so no coup happening anytime soon.
I believe Brexit is a loose-loose deal. It's bad for the UK because it causes a lot of complications without producing real benefits. Basically, the UK will loose lot of political influence and control while having to abide to the EU's trade rules anyway. It's bad for the EU, because the union may loose cohesion, as it may turn out that the UK is doing not so bad after all and local anti-European socialist and nationalist movements will capitalize on that a bit, because the EU looses influence on the US without the UK, and because the UK provided a counter-balance to the axis France-Germany and now smaller countries fear that the EU will move forward faster than they wish for.

My prediction is that the net result will make everyone a little worse off in 10-20 years from now than if the UK had stayed in the EU, but the effect will not be very noticeable and overall hard to quantify.

The Eu didn't commit to a single thing

The EU agreed that given this agreement there would be no requirement for a customs border.

The term "Vassal state" is incorrect as it describes a nation that has been subjugated to the will of another nation e.g. Ireland's relationship with the UK before the 20th century.

The EU is not a state, it is a "collection of states" and is the realisation of the need for greater alignment of policy between neighbouring countries.

The portrayal of the EU as some kind of evil controlling super-state is a lie, plain and simple.

That's not to say there isn't plenty of things wrong with the EU but the correct response is, as one of the major nations of Europe for the UK to get in there and make it work.

Instead the UK has repeatedly sent Farage.
In your opinion, what do you think the consequences with regards to Scotland will be given some time? Might they seek another independence vote to then rejoin the EU?
This is fantastic. I recently helped a few of the NGOs selected by Pineapple get their tech together to accept the funds. It gave me a chance to learn more (as much is public) about the fund and love hearing about bolder moves like this to make such an impact. Being close to the NGOs that did receive the funds, I can say first hand just how much of a difference this macro-funding is making for real orgs that care so much about change. @Pine thank you for giving a damn.

I've never understood this argument. Surely all you have to do is write a law that says: in the absence of British law, default to EU legislation. That's the essence of the great repeal bill, is it not?

My understanding of one of the big issues with defaulting to EU law is that disputes under EU law are settled by the ECJ and EU regulatory bodies (which are governed by ECJ rulings). This is not suitable for post-Brexit Britain's red lines. Accommodating this requires revisiting and rewriting the law to use British equivalents and I suspect this is a more time consuming process than a simple find-replace job.

This is also why Theresa May plans to use the 'Henry VIII clauses'[1] which allows the Government to amend laws (in this case, the Great Repeal Bill) without further scrutiny from parliament. This is potentially problematic as those amendments can include pretty much anything.

You are correct that basic trade agreements do not require parliamentary approval. The assumption however here would be that the UK wants more than that the EU can just hand out itself.
So, is there any intrinsic value (at all) to these "coins"?

Wow. I thought there must be at least one sign saying "shared space". But apparently not :o

> no rules

So cops can't ticket you if you cause an accident? I guess the rules are just the basic driving rules. Give way to people coming from your right, and anyone who goes straight has some advantage. But since this is basically an unmarked roundabout (drivers are supposed to keep to the right), that rules probably doesn't apply.
Bankers colluding to keep the LIBOR rates fixed at preferential values.

The LIBOR rate is in theory merely an indicator of the average of interest rates estimated by the leading banks in London, that they would charge to borrow from other banks. In practice, this rate has significant impacts downstream, since it affects many other loan / savings accounts / etc. rates. So the fact that this rate was manipulated, not a true reflection, ended up being A Very Big Deal. An article about it from the Economist: http://www.economist.com/node/21558281

I like the approach of defining the cost of a breach, and letting the market figure out what is necessary to protect against it. If you prescribe something, all you’re doing is creating a regulatory moat.

And if a company decides that it can’t completely protect itself.. hey, what about not collecting so much bloody data?? Wouldn’t that be a lovely side effect? If (P.I.) data, by its very existence, became a toxic asset, to be handled only when absolutely necessary?
The advantage of a fine is you offload all the costs of enforcement from the government to industry/ private insurance companies that underwrite the industry. Adding yet more bureaucracy to maintain solid regulations is a real cost, on the other hand you are going to need the same detection and enforcement ether way. So, we might as well save the taxpayer money and simply fine based on outcomes.

PS: It also simlifies the court cases as demstrating a data breach is more straightforward than demonstrating a company followed all reasonable precautions even though they failed.
