I think there still is an ecological impact, albeit a gruesome one, that still needs to be considered.

Avoiding these millions of deaths per year will just increase populations in parts of the world where resources are already scarce. It could lead to ecological collapse, which very well could result in more human death all-at-once than the Mosquitos were causing over time.

Now, I hate to advocate for letting people die - that's obviously something we as a species aren't going to do - but I feel like we care about population control for every single species but ourselves.

I worry that all of our modern medicine and championing of mother nature could eventually be our demise in the long-term, even if all of these things provide incredible benefits in the short-term.

We are, after all, just really smart animals. In any environment where a single species eliminates all threats to itself, it becomes the biggest threat to itself in terms of competing for resources. We are better at managing resources than any other species, but to a fault. Eventually we'll bite off more than we can chew.

I'm sure plenty of you will think that what I have said here is evil (even I feel that way a little bit), but I think that this really could be a credible threat to humanity ~200 year down the line.
But the referendum was just approving that some exit should happen and Parliament should work toward it, with no commitment to any particular approach.
An alternative viewpoint would be that it's entirely the fault of the politicians. Firstly, for not doing any preparation for the consequences of a leave vote prior to the referendum. Secondly for spending over two years prevaricating over implementing the result, leading to a lot of unnecessary uncertainty. Time to stop dithering, grasp the nettle firmly, and get on with it.

I don't think blaming voters for their democratically expressed views is fair.
The referendum asked the populace if they wanted to remain or leave the EU. And the politicians got the answer, and it wasn't particularly surprising, even if they weren't personally happy with it. They are supposed to represent the electorate democratically, after all.

> you can't really blame them for the execution

I think one can. Britain is a democracy. An old one. If one votes for a dramatic departure from the status quo without asking how it will be executed, that's a failure of civic duty. Voters own a share in their democracies' successes and failures; economically, politically and morally.
Well, one might blame the EU for being so bad that a majority of the voters preferred the poorly-defined, widely-understood-to-be-potentially-dangerous option rather than remain.

As an aside, I think terms like 'jingoistic' aren't helpful to discussion. I've never quite understood why it's jingoistic to prefer UK sovereignty but not jingoistic to prefer European sovereignty.
Let's face it though. British science was already headed in a downward spiral before Brexit. Decreasing student positions, postdoc positions, selling off shares in research partnerships and observatories, and more. EU consortia were already planning for the UK to be an unreliable partner.

Plus, anyone who was capable of applying for research jobs on an international level found the salaries quite pathetic.

This whole progression was sadly, not unexpected.

"Ban the box" usually isn't an outright ban on all criminal background checks. The thing it's fighting against is a checkbox/question on the initial job application, to prevent use of it as a universal "not even going to talk to you" filter.

Typically, an employer can run a criminal background check in a "ban the box" jurisdiction, but only later in the process (for example: after completing interviews and provisionally deciding this is someone you'd like to hire). There may also be other rules in place about how you can use information from the background check, and what you have to do if you decide to revoke the offer of employment based on the result of the check.
I think a lot of that stuff wasn't things Boomers worried about so much as things Boomers' parents worried about. And they were right. And then the generation after looked at the results of that and decided to go nowhere near it.
It might also be biased due to Google selling music off their platform. Wouldn't be surprised if other Torrent clients become targets to Google. I wish they had just republished their under F-Droid or similar.
Don't you think it would be useful to provide impartial evidence that clearly supports your statements? I can. But to clarify something - this issue is not only restricted to Islamic extremism. For instance in times past the Irish Republican Army fit the exact same pattern. It's a typical issue that society runs into, and it's rarely overcome in a desirable fashion. Anyhow, back to data. Pew in 2013 did a rather extensive study on Islamic views [1] around the world.

They did not survey in Myanmar, but they did survey in Bangladesh which is where many are choosing to migrate towards. They unfortunately chose to obfuscate their questioning on terrorism by mixing 'often/sometimes' and 'rarely/never' so you can't actually see the percent that answer never. In any case, even with this padding it's not pretty. In Bangladesh 26% of people responded that suicide bombing is justified 'often/sometimes'. Other data including 82% believing that Sharia Law should be the national law (82% in Bangladesh) further emphasizing the problem, and the zeitgeist. The Muslim population in Bangladesh is 146 million. That means, in that one country, you have some 38 million people that thinking killing other people by suicide bombing is acceptable 'sometimes' or 'often'. That's a major problem.

Anyhow, if you have any impartial data to share, I'd be happy to read and consider it. I'm always open to considering that my biases may be incorrect. Something that can not be said for many people...

It's not finding a parser that I find problematic, it's the dataset needed. My understanding is that the workers are limited to 128MB of ram and that they may be 'restarted' at any time. Datasets for accurate browser detection would be really tight in fitting into that amount of RAM when combined with whatever else you may be doing and you have to deal with load / parse time whenever a worker is restarted. This seems like a common enough need that cloudflare could provide it as an API and their implementation wouldn't have such issues.

Key distinction about "ban the box", it doesn't make it illegal to ask employees about a criminal record, or refuse to hire them if they have one.

You just can't ask on the application form. You can ask later on in the process though. The idea is to give people with criminal records at least a fighting chance of getting interviews.
The root of the problem that old BIOSes wrote their configuration into the CMOS memory, while all UEFI-based firmware storing configuration right in the SPI flash itself. Changing the values of variables every boot, sometimes performing "garbage collection" for compressing the size. Moreover, ME-like systems also write into the flash, sometimes even logging events. Every single boot, this is how it was designed.

Same as UK citizens have the right to settle and work in 30 odd other countries.

That's what agreements and accords are for.

Or are you suggesting that UK unilaterally grants rights, which they don't receive in return?

Ironically, the UK was one of the most open and welcoming countries, when ex eastern European countries were granted the freedom of movement.

They took a lot of opt outs, from the Euro to parts of judical agreements and then some from the EU.

They could also have opted out to some extent. But probably the lure of cheap employees sounded just too good to be true.
Nonsense, they had a big old battle bus.

It would definitely be a target for abuse, but the socioeconomic incentive structures can be modified to encourage truth.

Speaking of truth, framing is very important and for a platform like this: a majority opinion wouldn’t represent “indisputable truth” but rather “our current best collective guess”. You don’t treat knowledge in your head as immutable, you update it when you find better information (ideally).

Two minor things:

> zig init-lib and init-exe

Wouldn't these be better off as "zig init lib" and "zig init exe"? I.e. do what git did when it switched from stuff like "git-annex" to "git annex": switch from compound command names to subcommands. Easier mentally to follow and remember.

There's also this:

> all control flow occurs exclusively via keywords.

This will probably never happen cause C looms too large in Zig's world, but I wish "*" and especially the super non-intuitive "&" go the way of the dodo and some short keywords replace them. Perhaps "ptr" and "deref"? This is technically just bikeshedding, but look at Rust threads: besides the obvious #1 difficulty of the borrow checker and ownership, the #2 complaint is that the syntax is weird due to sigils. "Modern" programming languages don't use many sigils, if any: Javascript, Python, Java, C#, etc.

It's not fair since those languages are GCed, but most people will be familiar with them, not with C, these days.

I know that it's doubly unfair since Zig's target is C, so it's expected that new Zig developers know C, but you want to get new developers wherever you can get them, in my opinion :)

"542 people could have their convictions dismissed by mid-November"

That's not the number I was expecting when I saw the headline. That's 36 people a year, in a city the size of Seattle. I was expecting it to be thousands if not more.

Maybe shows that not very many people are ever convicted for simple possession alone. It's usually an additional charge along with dealing, violence, or both.

I love the concept of a low level language that's not C, but the home page doesn't paint a clear picture to me about what its strengths are and in what situations it really shines, and what trade-offs it makes to get there.
It'd seem they are doing that because they never moved CPUs to 10nm facilities, thus not freeing 14nm capacity for the chipsets and now they want to increase production of 14nm CPUs and they can only move chipsets to 22nm.

If the chipsets are simpler, less critical and easier to design than CPUs, shouldn't they start new processes with the least critical stuff?

>For instance Kavanaugh could just withdraw him nomination and the Republicans have a long list of other conservative judges that could do that job but no they can't stand losing at all so they will wind up losing something bigger all while warning the Democrats that they risk looking like crazy fools who are out of touch with the American people.

No they couldn't, the Democrats would try to delay any vote to after mid terms. Kavanaugh was announced July 9th for example (of course if the Republicans win again, it wouldn't matter).

Worse, you'd be setting a precedent that you don't need any evidence to take down a supreme court judge nomination, which would of course carry over to politicians as well.
I would disagree with that. Being young does not inherently mean you make bad decisions. Some people make dumb decisions in their youth but no need to discriminate against a population based on age. Many people enlist in the military, start companies and/or start families before 25.

I and many others were not so surprised. The polls were wrong because privately many people are unhappy with the EU, and that wasn't reflected in public opinion polls.

If nothing else, the result showed a major disconnect between the policies of the main parties and the wishes of the electorate, and it will be good to have that democratic deficit rectified.

First of all, that's rude.

Second, if they have a $75b valuation and no profit plan, that's not likely a good sign. I doubt China's P2P and venture capital markets are related, but I'd bet they gave a high valuation just to grab headlines. Also, it'll eventually get censored like everything else in China, so 'doing better than Baidu' is probably temporary.

For many alcoholics, it's not possible to have "just one beer". If it's there, it's a constant, overwhelming temptation that is at best a distraction from your work and at worst the cause for a relapse. In addition to trying to avoid the distraction of the beer in the fridge, you need to be around people who _are_ enjoying a beer or two responsibly, which makes it even harder.

Fortunately, I'm not an alcoholic. I quite enjoy a beer or two with colleagues now and then, and that's the end of it. But I'll bet at least some of those same colleagues were going through a silent torture keeping it under control.

But I'm pretty sure I'm a compulsive eater. If there's a box of donuts I'll have one, for sure, like everyone else. Then a couple hours later, after having thought about donuts for the last two hours - (and hating myself for having eaten the donut), I'll have another. If there's free chips I'm sure to grab a pack when I walk by. A failure of willpower? Sure. A sign that I'm a lesser person, maybe lazy (funny since I would cycle 12 miles to work while they all drove...), and definitely gluttonous? You'd think that based on how some people treat you.

I lost 100 pounds by keeping absolutely, positively, nothing in my home that I could eat without cooking - this was an effective deterrent to impulse eating since cooking was a sufficient pain in the ass (these days I actually enjoy cooking! But I also weigh under 200 lbs now so I guess it's ok. Workplaces with free food can destroy that for people who struggle with eating. An aside - anyone who's gone from very obese to merely overweight or normal will tell you it's shocking just how differently people treat you. Not just potential romantic partners - _everyone_.

Anyway, I guess I'm saying that free food in the workplace, for me, is a psychological nightmare. Though if the free food is apples and carrot sticks, that's fine. I'll eat them if I'm hungry, and only then.

Why isn't this based on science? These are people who work in animal behavior. If you traumatize an animal (including humans) it can change that creature's behavior, and affect their behavior in child rearing. Like you said, the creatures don't have time to evolve these traits to a genetic predisposition because of how quickly the predators were introduced.
