Brexit is a real problem that the human race is faced with.

There can be no higher question than that of what rules people should be using to deal with each other. For most of human history the rules were imposed by force. You open your market because if you don't, I'll escalate from sending a strongly worded missive all the way up to sending my armies to pillage your countryside.

Recently we've moved to a more contract-based system because using force sucks and you only want to do it if you absolutely have to. But that brings with it its own set of problems. Getting everybody on the same page is hard. Politics largely deals with local perspectives, even when it has to aspire to "the will of the people" when it comes to things like entering into international treaties.

Brexit is history in the making. The EU is a phenomenally novel way of integrating sovereign nation-states into a singular political entity, that happened without war. It's aim is to make something as singularly powerful as the United States, without force. The US had to clear out the West by force in order to achieve its Manifest Destiny. Great that we have it now, but we can't just keep fighting wars to achieve political unity.

That without force part is the problem being solved. Whatever happens here will influence all future non-violent political integrations humanity has going forward.

Make no mistake, this matters. Moreso than just about anything we've done since WW2.
Depends on your location though... A senior developer in some areas in the U.S. will be under $80k/year, in SF/SV it could be over $240k/year. Which is already a lot of variance (3X). In the end, I chose to live in a city where even local development jobs are at the higher end of the pay range in the area (top 5-8%) and better ratio to the cost of living for the area compared to say SF/SV and other places where the lower income for dev is closer to median (20-30% position).

It depends on a lot of things, and it's always negotiation. In the end, know what others are making as best as you can and ask for 10% more than you think you may get. In the end, you may lose 75% of the opportunities, but you only need 1 job at a time.
Agreed. However many tech companies are over valued right now.
1. There's usually a limited number of shares to short an IPO

2. Given the extreme volatility of IPOs and small amount of past history on a company's fundamentals, this will essentially be gambling with the potential of unlimited downside

Good luck!

I think the issue is that once you have had a referendum with outright dishonest arguments and likely manipulated by foreign states and one side wins by a couple of perentage points, the outcome is ironclad will of the people and even if these dishonest arguments turn out to be to many people's surprise wrong, it will not change what is the will of the people. Vice versa, any notion of asking people what they like about the actual outcome is considered pretty much hostile against democracy. Or something like that. I really can't claim to understand the argument properly.
Thanks.

This one I had to laugh at.

I'm just starting to learn the Project Icestorm tools as an FPGA beginner (using the Nandland Go board). I'm just a hobbyist, but I'm really interested in seeing how FPGAs can be used for custom hardware acceleration. These days you can't hear anything about the cloud without hearing about FPGAs being used for acceleration, but all the big companies are pretty tight lipped about the details of what they're actually doing with them. Realistically, could I take a frequently used C library, implement it as a hardware function in an FPGA, and integrate that with my computer via PCI Express, or USB 3 etc., and actually get a speed improvement?
Approximately 99% of the people voting for or against brexit didn’t know what they were voting for. I would be surprised if even 1% of the UK population could accurately describe what the EU is, it’s structure and the implications of leaving the EU.
The "best" solution to this problem is to cancel Brexit. Even that solution would cause a massive political blowback and only deepen the current divides that exist today.

The "fantasy" solution is that the government can somehow negotiate a better deal for Brexit. But this is pure fantasy. For starters, there is severe disagreement as to what kind of deal ought to be pursued among the people who dislike May's deal. Most of the Brexiteers want a "hard" Brexit, which means in practice that they want all the goodies of being in the EU without any pain whatsoever (this is kind of like expecting the Pope to appoint a Muslim imam to the College of Cardinals). This also runs into the problem that it is very risky to reopen strife in Northern Ireland, which was cooled in large part by the effective removal of a border between Northern Ireland and Ireland.

The "crazy" solution is to bail out with no deal. Very few people actually want this--taken literally, it means things like "you can't fly between UK and Europe;" the hope is that by playing brinksmanship, none of the horribles actually happen.

So yes, it is a slow motion train wreck. There's no easy way out.

Two other goals for C++ are 'zero-cost abstractions' and 'leaving no room for a lower level language'. It does better on both of these goals than Common Lisp and they are important reasons for its popularity (along with backwards compatibility and easy interop with C APIs).
> "What basis do you use to get the discount rate of a SaaS company? This seems fairly arbitrary and is a key part to valuing a company"

this is one of the things you learn in an MBA program. you'd generally use multiple methods to triangulate a rational estimate. for example, you'd look at industry comparables and estimate a beta to plug into CAPM (as sibling commenter touches on). you can also do full financial projections (5-7 years out) based on expected performance, do DCF, and monte carlo that to back out a discount rate. you can also do a comparative ratio analysis (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/ratioanalysis.asp) on profitability, cash flow, asset efficiency, turnover, and the like.

from my (limited) experience, startup valuations seem to be most sensitive to growth rate and the discount rate, so modelers spend a lot of time estimating these factors.

Except it doesn't sound like that, it sounds a study to better understand why people are overeating so much, and maybe find some new ways to address the problem other than sticking our fingers in our ears and shouting "STOP EATING SO MUCH!" Everyone knows overeating is the problem, and that if overweight people simply ate less calories than they expended, they wouldn't be overweight. Amazingly, this knowledge has not solved the obesity epidemic, nor does it typically help individuals struggling with obesity.

The House of Commons need to vote to rescind Article 50 before March 30th otherwise the UK will automatically leave the EU with no deal.

There's currently no legislation, implied legislation, promises, or assurances from either the government or opposition to do so.

Essentially until Article 50 is withdrawn, the UK continues to march forward towards hard Brexit.

A successful vote today on Theresa May's deal would have assured a hard Brexit. The vote failing however hasn't resulted in "remain," it has simply placed the UK into an unknown state with automatic hard Brexit still lurking on the horizon.
They are two separate products that work together as part of an end-to-end solution. You don't need to get both, but obviously using both would yield the greatest benefits.
From what I've seen, once you reach your grandfather's age, you too will have the same problem he does -- the inability to reason your way out of the problem. My father has reached a similar state of mind recently, and I'm not at all sure how to address it and fill the void it created, especially since he never was very fluent with tech (computers or cell phones), and he lives alone.

Ten years ago your grandfather would have done what anyone without a GPS does -- he'd retrace his steps, or bring a map, or ask someone how to get home. But the problem now is that these things don't occur to him; his mind is no longer self sufficient; he's confused.

I think the only tech solution is for him to be able to speak aloud, "Take me home", and hopefully there's a device in his hand (or strapped to his arm) that understands his words and can tell him exactly what to do. Or it can send a message to a rescue team which comes to get him.

At some point in life, when your mind is no longer able to think rationally, I believe your digital assistant will have to take charge completely -- listening to your voice and telling you exactly what to do or calling help for you. Hoping to restore lost cognitive skills via the right kind of device or app is not a plan that scales well with a declining mind.
From memory the IX and IY instructions took a lot of clock cycles and I avoided them unless there was a really good reason to use them.

I've just had a quick look at an instruction cycle table and it seems that without indexing they took 4 cycles more than HL then with an index that increased to 12 more.

To be honest this is just a repeat of two years ago, apart from now it's May not getting her way instead of Cameron. The whole thing is such a colossal failure that they need to just to give up and stop acting like this is the 'will of the people' - as if people don't change their mind when presented with the facts or something.
Of course it is.

Especially when it's taken out by people who don't even own the asset being insured. For people that do, it's ideally like taking an opposing bet to the bet that you've implicitly taken by owning something that has the possibility of failure.

I guess the line is that if you're on both sides of the bet, it's not gambling.

Selling insurance is definitely gambling, but it's subject to the law of large numbers like everything else - at some point, all of the risk is ironed out by the number of things you insure. At that point, it's a government concession.

Quite honestly, there is nothing stopping you from doing this anyways. This is the point of democracy. Nothing is ever final.

Referendums are not democratic they are a tool employed by an incumbent to back up a position.

Democracy generally requires voting for representatives that serve your best interests on issues that matter to you. It’s not about choosing between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
> The EU is a phenomenally novel way of integrating sovereign nation-states into a singular political entity, that happened without war.

Not just without war, but between nations that've been regularly at war with each other (in various iterations) for well over a thousand years.

It's a pretty remarkable achievement.
What I find curious through this whole affair is the silence on the topic by the U.S. For two countries that share a "Special Relationship" I had expected to hear the State Dept. say something. After all, major changes in governance by a close ally is bound to have secondary effects. And, please don't tell me that the Special Relationship is just a put-on show. It is set in numerous treaties between the U.S. and U.K. for centuries. There have been no announcements of rescinding any of those well-hidden treaties. Also consider that the U.S. has three of the most sophisticated econometric models of all other countries, probably better than the U.K.'s.

That leads me to believe this is a fait accompli and the U.S. may have actually suggested the referrendum as the best way forward. The brute fact is the the U.S. is going through it's own Brexit from earlier trade relationships that were set many years ago and which could be improved upon. You think I'm harbouring a conspiracy theory? Who told you that?

Ahhhh fudge ...

People’s vote ... it might just happen.

May now has to chat with the opposition, understand what it’d take to vote yes , take that to Europe, bring back a compromise ... vote again, get that accepted.

People’s vote is starting to look like the more likely outcome... had she lost by say 50 or 100 votes ... ok but 432 vs 202 ?! 230 votes to claw back somehow .
So how is that different from hedging your bets?

So your library speeds up Array<T>/T[] and List<T> Linq operations? That's quite interesting, though usually in my experiences in Linq performance optimization the problem is usually prematurely using the wrong data type for your Linq operation.

Given the immediate next bullet point in the article is about foreach operations over List<T>, that would be my top expectation why they were seeing so much allocation in Linq. ToList() allocates a lot, and to many projects I've seen reify everything with ToList() way too often in Linq usage. I've argued before that List<T> is very rarely the appropriate data structure for a lot of Linq work, and personally consider ToList() harmful. A successful strategy I've used to cleaning up Linq performance in projects is to simply start by remove all ToList() calls entirely and work to move API signatures to use smarter, more appropriate data types than List<T> and IList<T> everywhere.
All I can think of is, why? I don't know what were the main points against the deal, but the only reason I can think of that the deal is rejected is that Corbin, or whoever else would come out of this kerfuffle victorious, wants to re-issue vote on leaving the EU in order to stay..?

This is insanely puzzling to me, and very much unexpected. Can someone ELI5..? Or maybe ELI15 would be enough.

Yeah, I probably should have said pollenating insects don't get so much benefit from long grass.

Happily, the GP's statement makes an empirical claim, so there's at least some hope of it being testable.

That said, since the GP is making a questionable generalization about two large populations, it would be helpful it he/she provided a larger body of supporting examples.
This is very interesting. Is there a book that discusses stuff like this?
" Netflix’s most popular plan, which gives a customer two simultaneous streams, will get the largest increase, to $13 a month from $11. Still, it’s cheaper than HBO, whose streaming service costs about $15 a month. The $8 a month plan will now cost $9, and the high-end version, which allows for four simultaneous streams, jumps to $16 from $14. (The new prices took effect Tuesday for new subscribers. For existing customers, the increases will start in about three months.) "
Of course it "failed". The government did everything it could to sabotage it and arrive at as unfavorable a set of exit conditions as possible. Even if she did want to get a good deal, May doesn't strike me as a cutthroat negotiator. Couple this with her unwillingness to abide by the will of the people (the size of the voting margin is somewhat irrelevant in a properly functioning democracy), and you get this. This was 100% predictable right from the start.

Like elections, referenda have consequences. You don't get a re-do just because you didn't like the outcome. To say otherwise opens you up to the same kind of bullshit when things turn out the way you like and the _other_ side doesn't like the result.
It's crazy how powerful sugar can be.

When Mt. Dew Kickstart came out, I thought I would try it. I had one and it was decent so I got four or five. Went through those and then when I was done, I could feel my body craving it, even though I was only drinking one can a day. I thought it was weird and went back to read the ingredients.

Sucralose was the prime suspect. I did some more research and found out:

Sucralose is about 320 to 1,000 times sweeter than sucrose, three times as sweet as both aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and twice as sweet as sodium saccharin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucralose

I knew Sucralose was much sweeter than sugar, but was alarmed to find out by how much. It was scary to feel my body craving it and knew I had to stop drinking it. I could've easily put down three or four a day if I didn't stop when I did.

This bill https://energyinnovationact.org/ (also [1]) is in the US Congress right now. It includes a carbon fee-and-dividend (both a tax and tariffs, the proceeds of which are distributed among all residents of the nation).

Second:

Criminal prosecution of executives and shareholders of Oil companies,

- Will never be politically tractable

- Is equivalent to prosecution of someone for loading a gun, rather than the person who pulled the trigger

- Does divesting from a company even hurt that company? I mean if the company is not trying to raise cash by selling shares? If they aren't trying to sell stock, why do they care about the share price?

Over what time period though? Projections are all over the place, and it is basically impossible to predict where our technology will be 20 years from now. Maybe moderate interdiction now on our part will stave off the worst of it until we discover technologies that will get us out of this jam.
Not 230 votes; 115 will be enough to even the result. Still, it's a massive difference.
Depends on the country. In Slovenia you have to collect 40k supporter signatures or have ~1/3 of the parliament support it. And a referendum can only cancel already passed laws, it cannot pass a new law.

The one they had in UK was a non-binding one, which can usually only be brought to a vote by the parliament.
There was definitely lying on both sides. I couldn't say who lied more - but I think the voting public are more intelligent than that, and could see through the messages written on the side of buses.

The idea of a 2nd vote is undemocratic if you ask me. Keep asking the question until you give us the answer we want! There was enough debate and arguing the first time around - let's just leave and move on with our lives.
Well, no?
The referendum was non-binding. It would be entirely legitimate for Parliament to say "We can't obtain a satisfactory outcome and have opted to remain in the EU as it's a superior economic option." You don't continue to take your sovereign nation over the cliff because of an unreasonable minority of citizens (whether or not they were a majority of those who voiced their opinions in said referendum).

Also we are most likely talking about like a 0.5-2 ft rise maybe over the next 30 years. That is not exactly a "day after tomorrow" panic situation. The coastal real estate economy can deflate over 30 years.
