What do any of those things have to do with the EU? Brexit supporters are in favour of more global trade with countries like China, and lower environmental and labor standards. They hated the EU because it was precisely the opposite: A self-sustaining trading bloc made up of mostly successful, developed democracies, with (relatively) strong regulatory protection for workers and the rule of law.

Corporate interests know that, in a struggle, size is what matters. Multi-national corporations can effectively bully the governments of individual countries far more easily than they can a supranational collection of governments who resist being played off against each other. Faced with a lack of success forcing the EU to deregulate, these interests have instead switched to trying to undermine the institution itself, by funding populist campaigns that blame economic problems on the EU, even though it was under-regulation of finance (championed by the UK) that lead to the 2008 crisis.

A break-up of the EU will lead to outcomes a thousand times worse for poor and working class people throughout its member nations, and consequently around the world. There will be a race to the bottom in terms of regulatory protection and labor rights. There will be massive declines in average standards of living. There will be a rollback of democracy, as strongmen and autocratic governments re-emerge in Europe. There will be a return to war between European states, and pogroms and ethnic cleansing as nationalist governments cast around for scapegoats for their own failure.

If you think the pre-Brexit economic model had "serious faults" then believe me, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Apparently skin cancer risk from sunburn only appreciably increases when a child. As an adult, your risk is far less affected by exposure. A light tan is good, heavy sun for years will leave you looking like a florida leatherback. In all things, moderation.
My statement of law which is now probably not visible was moderated down _after I replied to the response saying I was incorrect, therefore after I established in fact that there is no law prohibiting entrapment in the UK.

There's two parts in English law, statute and case law. Case law such as I cited in my clarification that supports my original comment, obviously is the outcome of a trial.

Because we use a case law system, rather than try to codify the precise outcomes in all events, the established case law is necessarily representative of only the similar cases.

This case law precedent I cited is very well established without any substantial challenge.

My citation says that entrapment as a rule only counts for [very strong] mitigation in sentencing, but otherwise is not a defense.

For the law to prohibit entrapment, then the fact of entrapment must itself be a complete defense to any crime discovered pursuant to entrapment.

Because you cannot rely on the fact of entrapment to acquit you of a crime consequently committed, there is therefore no law prohibiting entrapment in the UK.

If anything, the case law precedent set out in my citation above actually encourages the use of entrapment!

Will moderators please take note that the kind of erasure of the simple but deceptive arguments above actually risk false conceptions that could result in a reader's loss of liberty and worse. This is a dangerous revisionist moderation inconsiderate of human liberties and the quality and consistency of logic one expects of this commentariat. I am disinterested in the moderation in affect upon myself, but thoroughly disquieted by the danger of effect of so seemingly innocent a editorial complication.
There is one effect you're missing, the part where those countries which were dependent on income from fossil fuels won't just quietly subside back into their previous state of being. While Venezuela has already dealt with the problem by self-immolation the same can not be said about two other big oil and gas exporters: the middle eastern countries and Russia. To start with the latter, Russia stands to lose not only a major source of income if the demand for natural gas were to plummet but also a lot of influence which they hitherto exert by virtue of having control over the natural gas supply for a large part of Europe. The country has the potential to replace the income from gas with income from other natural resources and from industrial output but they'll need time to gear up their economy for the switch.

The middle east is a different story. Apart from oil and gas exports the region does not have much to offer in the way of natural resources or industrial output. When - not if - oil and gas end their dominance in the energy hierarchy the region will be hit hard, also due to the fact that, in contrast to Norway, no substantial provisions have been made for this scenario. Some countries are trying to find alternative sources of income, e.g. Dubai which seems to be set to become the Las Vegas of the middle east but this scenario is only feasible as long as their is an audience which is willing and able to spend lavishly. When the oil money goes, so does that audience. Fusion energy will be a boon in the long term but in the short time it will have a destabilising effect in at least this region.

Let's take structured products as an example. Example: A UCITS fund is not allowed to invest in commodities directly, but it wants exposure to gold. The head of structuring knows the fund manager, so offers him a structured index for an under the table fee. The index contains only one item: a gold future! The fund gets the ability to speculate on commodities, the head of structuring gets a nice little payoff, and everyone's happy. When compliance asks why are you in commodities, the guys say "it's only an index" - and compliance goes away satisfied. Silly, but true story.

>The risk of skin cancer is elevated if you get sunburnt, if you expose your pale skin suddenly to the sun in the height of summer

This is very common skin cancer myth that can be debunked by few minutes of googling.

Any change in your natural skin color is a sign of skin damage and that damage is cumulative. Getting a tan is a sign of damage. Total UV dose you build up over time, rather than getting sunburnt, matters most (Sunburn is used as a proxy for skin cancer risk because it is related to individual sun sensitivity and UV exposure).

UV radiation is complete carcinogen. It's both a mutagen and a non-specific damaging agent. It's both tumor initiator and a tumor promoter. Three most common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC) , squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma. Chronic cumulative exposure is associated with BCC and SCC and melanoma with sunburns and childhood exposure but melanoma may develop through multiple pathways.

I think, that does actually work out.

The problem for humanity is not that browsers are written in C++, it's that browsers have lots of security vulnerabilities.

Being written in C++ is not helpful with that, but it's not integral to the problem. It's not impossible to produce C++-code that doesn't have vulnerabilities, it just requires a lot of effort and often years of battle-testing to close all of them.

But Firefox's source code has for the most part had those years of battle-testing. It's probably safer than if you'd completely rewrite it in Rust, at least in the short term.

Where the use of Rust can deflect most vulnerabilities is in new code. And that's what Mixed Reality is. It's gonna need to be in the browser at some point in the near future and it is a big chunk of new code. It also has harsh performance requirements, meaning they'll have to work with parallelism, which is where C++ is particularly error prone.

I think it's GTK, but since it's a Solus Linux project there was some talk that it would be moving to Qt soon. It reuses some chunks of GNOME 3 though. I like how it's seem to be a good alternative to Cinnamon desktop env., probably doen't have as many features but should be easy to use for Linux newbies (which GNOME3 isn't).

Lots of different techniques.

1. Write a program in the language that I've done before just to get familiar with the tooling. My go to for years was a better Eliza clone. From 1991-2008, I wrote it in AppleSoft Basic, GW Basic,HyperCard, VMS DCL, Visual Basic, C#, PHP, and JavaScript.

2. On the job. I hate hobby side projects. I'm not creative enough to come up with anything interesting and I feel like it's a waste of my time to build something that will never get used. I would rather just work on a proof of concept related to my job after hours and show it during a lunch and learn. I get real feedback from peers and if it's implemented, I get to "productize it" and see it in the real world.

3. On the job (part 2), I'm at a point in my career, where companies will hire me if I only have half of the required experience in the technologies they use because I've worked at a lot of small companies where I've led projects either officially as a team lead or unofficially because the team was so small I could take the lead. I can usually get a job based on what I know well and they give me the opportunity to learn what I don't know while doing a project. I'm more than willing to put the time in to get familiar with a technology I don't know.

4. PluralSight - I'll watch videos to get an overview of a technology usually before I go to work in the morning while working out in my home gym.

5. Certifications - I don't believe most certifications are worth it from a career standpoint and when I'm hiring, I take many of them -especially developer certifications - as a negative signal. I wanted to learn C# in and out in 2008 when I was transitioning from 12 years of C/C++, did a combination of 1-3 and did the highest level of MS developer certification that required 6 tests. I never put the cert on my resume or talked about it during an interview, but it forced me into an organized learning path.

I'm working on my AWS certifications now for the same reason - to force me into an organized learning path. But I will put these on my resume, they seem to carry weight - especially at consulting companies.
Memories can be decoded from brain waves during sleep, say researchers
One challenge I see in AI is that humans tend to attribute human traits to non-human entities (Anthropomorphism). This tendency leads people to expect something from AI that they can do quickly and to be shocked when we find AI to be brittle and lacking fundamental features of human understanding.

Having raised children and now playing with my grandchildren, it often amazes me at just how much we take for granted in that comes "out of the box" with a human brain. Humans can build associations with very few samples, and we come pre-wired with all sorts of tools from primary systems like hearing, visual, sensory systems to complex capabilities like speech and communication abilities.

I've worked with computers for 37 years, and the progression has been amazing, but we're still a long ways away from the primary capabilities of even a house cat.

All this said I often wonder if the reason for the failure of current AI systems to wow us is the gap between power density of a human brain vs. compute systems. I've heard it said that DeepMind burned an order of magnitude more than the 20W/hr a typical human brain uses. When we have compute systems with that power density, we may see more emergent behaviors from our silicon-based friends.

Either way, I think AI has useful applications today and I hope we will find many useful applications of these technologies to make our lives better and make more time for us to learn, love and care for one another.
Rant time:

Go outside more. Take 15 min with your shirt off in the sun. In some areas of the world this can be a true challenge, but cold exposure has its own benefits. It will boost mood, improve eyesight, and process vit D. Skin cancer is real, but unless you are getting burnt to the point of peeling or blisters, there is virtually zero risk as an adult. A good tan won't make you look like a lifelong smoker. Just beware akward tanlines, and curious neighbors when trying to eliminate said tanlines.
I’m a lifelong Mac/Unix user. It’s completely fine. I find that most people who say this just expect it to be a UNIX, and don’t take it on its own merits.

Besides, 99% of my tooling is cross platform anyway. The only thing materially different is PowerShell, and they’ve added bash aliases. The hardest part of transitioning has been using -Fo instead of -f, as -f is ambiguous. git, vim, rustc/cargo, and Firefox are all identical.

Oh, so the pain here: the pain happens because most instructions “cheat” and use elf binaries for the kernel. So your “cross compile to my kernel” is “compile for the host”, since the host and target are the same. Windows means you actually have to cross compile. The situation would be the exact same if Windows formats were the defaults, but most hobby OS devs seem to work on UNIX, so culturally it just isn’t there. So this isn’t a direct flaw of Windows itself, but more of a social issue.
That gives me gooseflesh. Thank you for this.
You're overstating this argument and using some quite divisive rhetoric to boot. Nobody is "dumping" anything.

Some types of workers, most notably existing immigrants do suffer... in the short term... particularly from migrants from outside the EU.

https://fullfact.org/immigration/immigration-and-jobs-labour...

I think this study is the key, to be honest "Research from University College London finds that an inflow of immigrants the size of 1% of the UK-born population leads to a 0.6% decline in the wages of the 5% lowest paid workers and to an increase in the wages of higher paid workers." (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~uctpb21/Cpapers/CDP_03_08.pdf)

The actual effect is not large, but the relative increase in distance between very low earners and middle/upper-middle earners is what offends... and the likes of Murdoch are only too happy to stir up that resentment in exchange for keeping their tax loopholes.
For practical examples open the Companies Act, and flick through noting how many summary criminal penalties for infractions exist therein.

Summary criminal justice is a judge without jury trial and the description is highly pertinent to anyone expecting a pedantic and thorough hearing. Unlikely will you benefit from one.

But for the millions of company directors who rely on the sagacity of a accountant's counsel, it is not lawful to so recuse oneself from the direct responsibility. Which should be obvious. But how many company directors have you heard casually quip how they leave so much to their accountant or consulting firm?

Most oil and gas companies have rebranded themselves as "energy companies" and are fortunately starting to invest in alternative technologies. Norwegian Statoil is another great example: They are invested in offshore floating wind farms. These companies know the reliance on fossil fuels is ending.

Wow, I haven't thought about that GABA rebound in ages. I quit drinking a long time ago, although I had to do it a few times. This is just another data point, but I too remember "increased vigor/urgency" from acute sleep deprivation prior to drinking habitually.

I have maintained up to a year on the same food schedule as you describe, and it was nice in a lot of ways. I don't know if I'll ever be quite that lean again, but that's okay.

While IF seems to do a lot for many, including me, it also seemed to exacerbate my anxiety. I stopped for that reason, along with the unrelenting societal pressure to eat, I mean.

I live in the United States, and IMO we are just really tragically confused about food even as we drown in it.

I skip meals often (it isn't like they're mandatory, right?), but haven't done any "formal" fasting in some time. Thank you for the input and the link.
> There’s no British equivalent to aggressive, outspoken U.S. Attorneys, who seek out high-profile cases and routinely ascend to elected office. For the most part, being a U.K. prosecutor isn’t even a career. Instead, barristers, as trial lawyers are known, both prosecute and defend clients, depending on the case. To put a crook behind bars, they must convince judges and juries, rather than simply threaten a terrifyingly long sentence. Plea bargains in the American sense don’t exist, and jail terms for nonviolent offenses usually max out at about 10 years.

This is a scary take-home message for us in the US.

I think that DeepXplore [0] is on the right track. I think that perhaps some methodological improvements could likely be made, but applying an adversarial, security-like approach to deep neural networks is a way to build fault-tolerance into these methods.

I'll keep hoping that things like capsules and "smarter" network design/training and data augmentation will eventually, de novo, help add "safe" generalizability. Perhaps optimizing accuracy/minimizing loss in a more broadly, uniformly random way rather than in optimizing accuracy, weighted by frequency of observations.

I think it’s related to learning. From my own experiences, it seems like our brains use the same technique to learn from all senses at once. Ie we can probably spot our equivalent of a random pixel through having multiple sensory inputs of all types processed together. We can know we don’t have a spot on our head despite seeing one in a mirror because we can touch or otherwise feel it is not there. That takes an incredible amount of cross reference across all of our combined senses.

Similarly, my mind can differentiate from the floaters in my eyes because it remembers their existence. O do that it had to build a concept of a floater, etc.
Show HN: Active circles, invite friends' friends to your event with SNAPS!
Are you looking for a great get together? Well, you can post it on facebook and twitter. Majority of them are strangers and you don’t want them anywhere near your event.
But still… you want your event to be a success and your circle of friends is nowhere near enough. What do you do?

Did you know your friends’ friends are people you met with but never had a chance to get to know them better? But you don’t have them in your contacts, what do you do? Now you can with Active Circles.

“Pull” people into whatever you’re doing by a simple tap on a “circle”.

Planning for a new party, need friends for a quick yoga session. How about going for a run? Active Circles allows you to give a shout out to your close friends and your friends’ friends all at the same time. Have you ever noticed that sometimes that’s not enough? A picture is worth a thousand words but more than that it creates a great story to tell. Give someone an extra little nudge to get up and get going to come over to whatever you are doing. Use lots and lots of SNAPS that they can't resist your awesome event! And everyone that joins you can take their own SNAPs to tell their own version of the story.

This is the pleasant side effect of Active Circles. A simple way to invite friends over and create huge crowds! If more common friends are present at the same place then stronger the effect.

So have fun and let us know how we can make it better! (Only Available in North America for now). Version 2 with groups coming soon! Sign up below to receive updates!
