>But no-one is discussing whether it is right or wrong.

I mean we literally are. The original premise is about invalidating democratic results. If no one cares if it's right or wrong the conversation is moot in the first place because leave won regardless of circumstance.

>I get what you're saying but it doesn't really have any relevance here.

It actually does. Again the original premise was about mitigating factors of a democratic vote. That is almost entirely a moral/ethical issue. Regardless good laws should follow morals and not the other way around so they're totally inseperable in my mind.
Yeah its pretty crazy. I expect the city to get sued over it.
I'm in a company which uses the full atlassian suite (on premise) and I find your comment is a very good summary. I always see people complaining about jira on the internet, but in real life, everyone I know seems happy with it, I have no idea where that come from. Maybe it depends on your admin and/or the size/culture of the company
Turkish nationals would. You started out talking about Iraqis. Simply crossing the border into Turkey does not convey rights to enter the UK.
If the EU were not already loathed by some the stories would find no audience, is my belief. For example, I met a plasterer who said that immigrants were destroying his livelihood by working for peanuts. If I were him I'd probably blame the EU also. But I also think the result was seen as an opportunity to send a general two fingered FU to the establishment, both UK and EU - I don't think the coordinated FUD and Obama etc did Remain any favours whatsoever. Surely better to take the high ground and rhapsodise our fantastic future in the EU? Remain chose not to do that.

Wow. Atlassian is really on the way down, giving up on such an important and strategic part of the business. They've given Stride not even a year to try to compete.

I've used them for tons of projects. I've read people that throw shade their way for their prices for components compared to some of the offshore websites like digikey or alibaba. However, I don't like their websites, and anything they might be "overcharging" for is easily made up with what I receive from the rest of their website. I'm constantly in a state of 2-3 projects that are in various stages of incomplete. If the parts&pieces for these projects didn't come from SparkFun, they probably came from Adafruit. Love both of these sites.
I'm not blaming Mattermost for Atlassian's choices, I'm saying, you can't really try to recruit dissatisfied HipChat customers with promises of a supported migration if you can't help HipChat customers de-facto migrate from their old product to your product.

The interesting thing here is all the "big" games in the past few years have had fairly modest requirements(MOBA stuff, fortnite, etc). It's been a while since there was a huge blockbuster game everyone was buzzing about that was especially taxing. PUBG sort of sucks power but it runs like crap even with a ridiculously beefy machine, and not because it's graphically intense.
A few months ago slack's early plan was posted here. From day one this was the goal - they knew it was just a chat app so they had to make it feel like something different.

Hi HackerNews,

We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Instead of imagining, we preferred to act. So, we created MonkeyLINK.

MonkeyLINK is an url shortener and influencer campaign tracker for mobile apps. You can create a project and get your short link in a second. Share it on social media or anywhere you want. We collect all statistics for you.

Also, we have an automatic landing page creator for mobile apps. Here is sample landing page created automatically for Tinder:

The first problem with this is the same race to the bottom you have with corporate tax rates in general. If only one country, the US for example, creates such a law, that would give corporations a massive incentive to create their intellectual property outside of the US. I imagine that pretty much all global companies would gradually move to produce all of their intellectual property outside the US so as to avoid such restrictions. This would in turn be a huge windfall to other countries and a major detriment to the US economy.

So you need all countries to coordinate on this front. I also don't see how the ban would encourage the Caribbean to adopt "sensible" tax rates. In the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, or the Virgin Islands, the corporate tax is already zero. Not sure how much leverage such a ban would actually have over these countries.

The second problem is in the actual legislation. How is the law going to be written? Is it going to be a fixed list of countries that congress must update? Any country with a 0% tax rate? A new FTC style body that adjudicates which countries are "tax havens?" Because all of these can be circumvented with just a little elbow grease.

The final problem is enforcement. Can intellectual property be sold to other countries in the US? Can those companies be sold to foreign companies? If a US company is a acquired by a foreign company, could that company then not license software to US companies? Are all transactions between US and foreign companies going to be individually monitored? Because that is a lot of work, and if you don't do that, it's very difficult to enforce the law.

Basically, if someone was to sit down with the specific goal of designing a tax that could be easily evaded, they would come up with the income tax. Personally, I feel it's better if we adopt taxes that are more easily enforced and more progressive than the income tax. But for some reason, the corporate income tax remains relatively popular with politicians and voters around the developed world.

It will be some time before the ActivityPub ecosystem is ready for the enterprise. I was putting it out there for companies that don't need that level of integration or have people who can build it.
sounds like you can still get a lot of value from it, if you know how to use it properly. there's still too much noise to filter (for me) in the news feed from what you say, if half of it is stale memes and stuff.

cheers and thanks for the explanation.

We are spoiled western last men with broadband connections. It isn't enough that we can have all of these things without getting out of our chairs. Oh, no!

"‘Extra tests’ are only an issue because of the untreated disease they reveal"

This is just not true. For example, right now, there's a lot of interest in 'diagnostic test stewardship' in hospitals to avoid overtesting, because it can lead to serious problems, like causing diseases (due to treatment with antibiotics) or infections.

Similarly, false positives for cancer screenings, etc.

There's nothing stopping the companies from providing a dine-out per diem if they choose to. They could for example form relationships with local eateries to subsidize those meals either in full or through discounts, which would support the local economy but also provide that benefit to employees. But of course it's cheaper for them if they control the entire operation.

Nonsense. We could have light-bulbs that last longer but we don't because someone wants to make more money and can externalize the costs of waste. Planned obsolescence is rampant and getting worse. (How many iPhones have you bought?)
The problem here is that the targeted ad could be something from an unidentified source that is designed to make the recipient more receptive to certain messages. Xenophobic propaganda, etc.

And yet most large companies are using AWS and the like. This obsession with "MUST be behind OUR firewall!" is very arrogant, penny-wise pound-foolish thinking - and it tends to wither in the face of a frank, honest cost/benefit analysis.

Since OTA updates can only impact JS, we can offer a button that essentially calls something like `window.refresh` and it reloads the JS bundle within the container. We actually recently leveraged ErrorBoundaries in React 16 to do something similar in our app as well.
> You don't need to be afraid of foreigners to not want them emigrating into your country en-masse

Actually, you do - because otherwise what is your objection to them?

Compare with free movement within countries; it would be obviously prejudiced to say e.g. "I don't want Scousers moving to London", and that's not a position which anyone is going to take seriously.
I think it's a terrible idea in theory. In practice it probably won't be as bad as companies find loopholes and exceptions. (For example, is having food delivered a cafeteria?)

Still, companies should be able to decide what they want to offer their workers.
Did you tried Movim? It's a web based XMPP platform.

* Self-hosted (simple web application), a Docker image is available, Debian package incoming

* Chatrooms and one to one chat with file sharing, embeded pictures, administration, discoverability, message editing, archives management, synchronisation between devices

* Post publication in Communities and personnal accounts

* Compatible with XMPP transports and services like Biboumi to bridge it with IRC

* Responsive so it fit on your desktop and your mobile (the UI is also fully in sync between your devices)

* Video-conferencing (one to one)

* and many other things…

You can check it on https://movim.eu/ and give it a try :)

P.S.: I'm the maintainer of the project
In unsophisticated terms, I think it's basically that you can probably play with nearly any two time series graphs and then manipulate the data such that you find correlations.

Of course, that doesn't mean there actually is any correlation.

Yeah, it's easy forget that the referendum was designed to be a sop to euroskeptics within the majority party, because by separating out the question to its own referendum rather than the parliamentary elections, those euroskeptics would stay with the party leadership, who they agreed with on non-EU issues. Since the referendum was seen as a slam dunk for Remain when it was set, this was seen as a zero-cost way of protecting the government's parliamentary majority, with the possible side benefit of quieting the anti-EU faction down since their expected failure in the referendum would be something that could be pointed to in future discussions.
My product is a business management platform for a niche industry (pet care). Think CRM+POS+ERP.

We tried the traditional VC route to no avail. The niche was too small for the big players.

We ended up finding a bigger player within our industry who had some cash to invest. He got the product his business needed and earned some interest in the process.

Just my 2c. Good luck!
Prices aren't stationary, which means (essentially) that they move around and compound on themselves. Correlation assumes that the two time series being correlated are stationary. If you want to correlate two price series, you do so using returns (e.g. +1%, -2%, ...), which are a stationary series. If you run a correlation on price series, you'll get silly high values like 94%.

No, it's a specific issue with price series. The correct way to do it is to correlate the return series.

I give them credit for the other side of the coin. After programming for a while, I credit SparkFun for getting me interested and back into hardware. With all of the very affordable micro-controllers and various shields/kits, it's so much fun designing the circuits, building it, and then writing the code to make it function. However, I'm still at the stage of when it's all assembled and code being written and it doesn't work, I have to decide if it's just bad programming, bad hardware/circuit assembly, or just flat out bad circuitry design. Way more debugging than just figuring out what line I forgot to use a semi-colon or where I reassigned a variable's value etc.

With all of that experience, I have even more respect for people like Woz. I have online forums to ask questions. The "grey beards" just had to figure it out ;-)

One of the main benefits of Slack (to me, at least) is persistence, which you don't get from IRC.

If I'm not connected to Slack, or even a member of a Slack channel - I can connect/join the channel and be able to get all of the history back to the beginning of the channel (or whatever Slack's limitation is).

This makes it very easy to jump into the middle of a conversation and not worry you've missed some important context.

Could you be more specific? I implemented Chrome's Spectre mitigations for WASM and I'm not sure what you are referring to.

These only give you a high-resolution timer mechanism--which you have to build yourself and is possible in JS with SharedArrayBuffer before. So WASM is no worse in this respect.

It also see it as a hugely successful marketing coup.

As an early employee of a startup, I remember the day we had to setup the initial infrastructure. For the majority in the room, Slack was an absolute requirement. They didn't wanted to have the ability to chat, they wanted to specifically use Slack, like a badge of honor.

Or more... $2800 would be a cheap MRI in some places... $4K+ I've seen quoted.

and completely by chance have higher by a Std Dev or more ordering of imaging in their private practice...

It's hard, however ethical you are, to not err on the side of sending someone to imaging when you profit linearly off of said imaging.

And with respect, you cannot speak to any culture other than the few you've been a part of. I can say with some authority that this is not a problem at my workplace.

The reason IM has proliferated is precisely because it's instant and usually targeted. Email is a pain in the ass and usually serves as a dumping ground for irrelevant messages. If your culture demands that you treat a fundamentally asynchronous tool as synchronous, that's a problem with your culture, not the tool.
