I’m not saying anyone should walk away from money. But the same people who want Google to walk away from the world’s largest country aren’t willing to walk away from thier stock but expect Google executives to make financial choices for moral reason.
It's pretty relevant when significant portions of the no vote live in non-London areas and have general hopes (fantasies?) about jobs (such as farming and manufacturing) returning to the UK.

The world is not a first year economics class on comparative advantage.
> are you actually arguing that that is a net benefit?

Depends on what you define as net benefit... Self-sufficiency, especially regarding basic supplies like food, is hugely important for any independent nation. Personally, tariffs on/protectionism of food industry are what I support the most.

Broader picture, net benefit doesn't mean just economic benefit. I support Trump's tariffs on China and hope EU would do the same, tax the hell out of all polluting and tax-evading countries - that would definitely be a net benefit for the planet.

Protecting agriculture can also serve to reduce the impact that the war or large scale crop failures elsewhere in the world might bring. The resulting safety might be worth the market inefficiencies caused by tariffs.
I believe that this is the idea behind community policing. That the police officers should live and work in the same neighborhood because they will grow trust and be able to do their jobs better.
Cryptocurrency solves the problem of enabling illegal transactions. Child pornography, drug trade, extortion, and illegal gambling are all currently being solved with cryptocurrency.
Another is that Carlsen is very good at rapid (Carlsen 2880 vs Caruana 2789) and blitz (2939 vs 2767) formats compared Caruana so it makes sense to just take things to the tiebreakers where Carlsen has a significant advantage.

My point is that the mathematic negative/positive duality is often either too specific (doesn’t allow for scenarios where you may have more than two “directions” so we invented dimensions) or too general (allows for negative values where you don’t want them, so we use abs or square things to correct).

They may be voting no to the Brexit deal purely because they don't agree with it.

But you are painting this as a binary situation of 'The Deal' vs No deal. There is a third option, withdrawing notice to leave.

Parliament can choose to remain without any kind of referendum. In fact there was a case heard by the ECJ today to clarify this very fact. The UK's option to remain was undisputed, and the remaining legal arguments are simply over whether the remaining 27 states have to agree or not. The ruling is due at a later date.

>In order to believe that worth can be determined independent of a utility function, you need a standard of absolute worth

Or you can just dispense with the notion of worth of a person as person altogether -- then you don't need to "determine" anything. That's what the "equal" part means in that sentence: don't try to determine".

You can determine the skills of a surgeon, the education of a scholar, the speed of an athlete, the voice of an actor, the coding skills of a developer, etc.

But you should not try to determine the worth of a person as person. That is, when you don't care to measure something something specific, you should not consider someone inferior.

>Even religious statements of worth are based on utility to the deity.

Not really, at least not in the religions I've known. At least in (non-protestant) christianity people have absolute utility.

> wherever is most efficient

This is only true when all actors play by the same rules. Without this requirement the most efficient places to operate are where there are the fewest labor and environmental protections. I would 100% be in favor of eliminating tariffs to countries that meet the same standards but its silly to say that we're better off exploiting not-quite-slave labor.
Perhaps more than a simple majority? Perhaps a majority of the eligible voting population? What is called a "razor-thin majority" is actually a plurality. And I don't think democratic decisions should be made by plurality.

Not really. There's a settlement period, and if the transaction can be reversed, it's really not complete in the sense of a Bitcoin transaction with 6 confirmations.
I'd go even further to say, that we're at a point where not EVERYTHING needs to be smaller... our mobile devices are so small and difficult to hold, we're putting things on the back to make them easier to hold. They're so thin and fragile, we're putting thick cases on to protect them...

I'd love to see a production cell phone that is already thick with a relatively huge battery, more rugged case, and a slightly better protected display. I'm willing to bet there's a market for this, just based on otterbox sales, and the sales of backpack battery covers.

Similarly a home media player like the roku, shield tv or fire stick are plenty small. That has nothing to do with being able to innovate and create newer or better experiences.
This is a good idea in theory, but the bigger problem is that the UK never voted for the EU either.
From the paper itself:

The real problem is not majoritarianism, or democracy. The problem is that the referendum should have been framed as "Start exit negotiations."

If it's not framed that way, it amounts to buying the outcome of a risky multi-year process with a lot of downside risk and tens of billions in costs sight unseen.

It is not antidemocratic to have a referendum on "Were the negotiations a success?"

Nor does it make sense that if the UK parliament rejects the exit deal that "no deal Brexit" is the only outcome. The UK can withdraw the notification they will exit and remain and continue to negotiate. It adds some lead-time to an eventual exit if that ever makes sense and can be negotiated before the earliest date the UK can leave. But, in no way is it antidemocratic.

Yes, it was a long time ago, but it totally turned me off from them (and the Green party, and a couple of other well meaning but mostly clueless groups).

The problem was that they were going on and on about what things looked like and exaggerating the risks rather than to look carefully at what alternatives we had.

NL is kind of special in that way I guess, people here really care a lot about keeping things traditional. It brings in the tourists and of course it is lovely to see the country through a lens like that.

And those pesky windmills and solar panels were going to change all that. So we saw a lot of resistance. In the end they went so far as to determine that any sea based windmill parks had to be an x number of miles off-shore (in much deeper water, increasing construction costs considerably) rather than nearby.

Anyway, it's all moot, they came around and since then it has been good to see them fix things (the Green party also came to their senses at some point, but there are still hold-outs that would love to see all the windmills go away because they are eye sores - or at least, in the eyes of some, I think they are beautiful).

It is interesting to what extent history has been edited, good luck finding much about horizon pollution, bird strike studies or the effect of all those dark solar panels on our traditionally red brick roofs today.

What is also interesting is that we have a huge windmill tradition here, simply because without windmills a lot of the land here would have never been developed (if it even existed) in the first place. So this is the last place in the world where I would expect any kind of headwind (pun intended) for renewable energy. I guess in a hundred years when we have cheap fusion there will be a political party or lobby group trying hard to keep those windmills that are so beautiful.
> The Soviets were on the brink of invading Japan and one of the "reasons" for the use of the atomic weapons was as a show of force / deterrent against the Soviets

Soviet invasion of Japan was discussed in detail on Yalta conference. Don't you think it was a little too late to deter Soviets by bombing Japan?

> The book mentioned that many historians think the Japanese were motivated to surrender more by the Soviet threat of invasion than by the atomic bombings.

Japanese emperor mentioned both of them when he addressed the nation. I wonder why those historians wasn't aware of that.

Would you say the same about Nazi science? The world depicted in the Man in the High Castle has some very impressive scientific achievements.

The idea that science and knowledge are an unalloyed good to humanity no matter who develops the expertise is a fairy tale. Scientific knowledge and the technical skill that flows from it are weapons. Weapons are tools that can be used for good or ill, so we want them to be in the hands of those who can be (more) trusted to use them for good and out of the hands of those who can be less trusted.

Protectionism is the wrong word when you are talking about food supplies. Tariffs are applied selectively to food imports in most countries, to protect farming for food security. Food matters more to people than watered down Randian ideology, once there is a shortage.

Now it's back in the Hofburg palace collecting dust. There's countless other artifacts that are purported to have magic power/attributes that are mostly fragments too. If you could manufacture it into something else I imagine it'd have been a hell of a lot easier to just melt it down and make a swagger stick or a belt buckle or something.
