The main issue is that the majority of parliament are remainers and so don't really represent the 52 percent, further signyfing why the public feel parliament are out of touch with them. Britain is further teetering towards a no deal, meaning an even harder Brexit.

Corpses in the street?

The UK imports around 25% of food-related commodities from the EU. Even with no deal, these imports will continue (as the EU has to sell them to someone.) Even if the EU stopped, there would not be corpses in the street as there happens to be a very wealthy English-speaking country not too far away that happens to produce more food than any country on the planet and is more than willing to trade with the UK.
Even in Oregon (or NJ where I'm originally from), it takes longer because of stuff outside of the actual pumping. So if for some reason you're not allowed to charge your own car, it'd just move from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.

Also in NJ it definitely doesn't take more than 5 extra minutes waiting for the attendant 95% of the time.
They're compared because they own the distribution in their respective markets. That's key.

That being said, here are the risks on the supply side for both in very different ways:

- Uber: Drivers are fungible and can move to any platform they want. Two risks here...unbundling (already happening) and driver acquisition cost.

- ABnB: If their supply bundles itself together, it doesn't need to pay a distribution fee and ABnB is done.
While I agree with other commenters that "Testing is like eating" and "No Silver Bullet", I think there is value in explicitly naming and discussing what happens when unit testing goes wrong. The linked article raises some good points about testing antipatterns.

Although there isn't a strict trade-off between code simplicity and testability, I have personally found that focusing on unit testing can take my focus away from thinking about simplicity an correctness-by-design. Sometimes I have to recalibrate: simplicity and correctness-by-design should be considered during the "refactor" phase of red-green-refactor.

The article could do more to emphasise that both TDD and BDD are "test first" methods. They are ways to develop code by first specifying what the code should do by writing tests. Working this way you often end up with different kinds of tests (and maybe even more testable code?) than if you just apply a post-hoc "write unit tests for everything" approach. Roy Osherove often mentions this in his test reviews.[0]

The article questions whether integration tests should be preferred over unit tests, claiming that unit tests don't verify that the program performs it's main task correctly. This raises the question of how to allocate resources to testing, and being clear on what your goals are for testing. This reminds me of the "Test Pyramid".[1]

It seems to me that it's a good idea to have integration tests that verify that the program satisfies its use cases. But if you want assurance that each component of the code does what it claims it does, then you want unit tests. The middle ground is what J.B. Rainsberger has called 'integrated tests' -- tests that simultaneously test aggregates of multiple units.[2] J.B. argues that you're better off with unit tests, since achieving good test coverage with 'integrated tests' entails combinatorial explosion.

While nothing can prove definitively anything, we do have https://metrics.torproject.org/bubbles.html#country and the directory of relay nodes are in the open. One can simply pull the list and compare them to any geo-ip database.
Well, JIT heuristics end up being designed to live with the typical code patterns of the programming language.

In Java's case, since methods are virtual by default so with open classes a large majority of the code has a possible indirection, hence such optimizations.

As an electoral force, UKIP were very successful in European elections. It is reasonable to say that they were a major consideration in deciding to call the referendum.
None of what you are saying is true, and it is clear that you have no idea how trade works.

The EU and the UK already have a trade deal. It is called the World Trade Organization rules.

Yes, some taxes and tariffs might be higher, but it is a complete lie, born of either ignorance or maliciousness, to claim that a country would literally starve to death.

Once again, go look up the WTO trade rules. WTO trade rules cover most of the world.
> If they want to charge me (or charge me more) for it, then they can do so at that time. No tracking needed except for that associated with payment.

That's what's proposed? An identifier sent along with the request to see the current list of updates available?

> I don't see how this doesn't increase personally identifying features. On the contrary, it's adding one: a unique identifier.

An identifier that changes every week or so. At that point it is useless for identifying an individual, but can still be used statistically to determine how many systems are running what versions of Fedora, even behind NAT gateways. The only difference from before is now instead of "there's one IP with more than average check-ins, or check-ins from two or more different configurations", it's "there's one IP with X number of unique identifiers that randomize weekly seen over the last 28 days, so we can approximate X/4 different systems behind that IP".

Part of the problem is that neither /dev/urandom nor /dev/random on linux do what most people want. /dev/urandom never blocks even right after you've spun up a fresh machine that has not seeded the PRNG, while /dev/random blocks very conservatively, to the point where it is not useful for certain things.

The proper approach for high-volume random numbers is probably to seed a userspace PRNG from /dev/random but that's extra work, particularly in a concurrent program.
Agreed, and frankly, the whole process has been such a calamity that if I were an EU country leader I wouldn't even attempt to exit without a very strong mandate for a detailed, specific and clear process of leaving.

The first thing I notice is that both the first and last authors of this paper are industry-affiliated. Not to say there's anything inherently problematic with that, but at least raises an eyebrow about the motivation behind this study.
"The study comprised two periods of 4 weeks: a preconditioning period, with daily consumption of at least 500 ml water but no coffee, nor tea, nor any other caffeine-containing product. During the subsequent intervention period the coffee group consumed 500 ml of freshly brewed dark roast coffee blend per day, the control group consumed water instead."

Apparently, it's caffeine, or perhaps hot beverages (as it doesn't seem like the control drank their water heated).

The information that would help me is an answer to the question: Why?
EBITDA of $1 (or anything) doesn't tell me anything unless I understand what the prior period EBITDA were.

- Were they also $1 in the prior period on EBITDA? That would indicate that their growth is stalled and they can't fix profitability problems. An IPO could help address that with the right allocation of raised funds, maybe.

- Did they lose $1 billion on EBITDA in the prior period? That would indicate that they've rapidly solved their profitability issues, but an IPO might indicate that they're overvalued and want to dump that problem on the market so that they can correct down to a good market cap vis a vis their earnings.

- Did they make $1 billion on EBITDA in the prior period? An IPO would indicate investors scrambling for the exits.

And so on. Even if earnings are paltry compared to their scale, if they are massively improved over the prior period, that is a potentially good indicator of performance to come.

It's both good and bad for you depending on which health indicators you look at. People tend to treat "Coffee prevents cancer" and "Coffee raises blood pressure" as if they contradicted each other but really they don't. The whole thing is very dose dependant too. Correlationally life expectancy maxes out at around 3 cups per day but I doubt that's the causal maximum.
You know what, you're right. We should extend all 18-21 privileges to 16 years of age across all developed nations and call 16+ aged individuals adults. Because after all, they're fully developed persons capable of the same level of rational thought and emotional separation as those at 18 through 21 years of age and beyond.

So, age of adulthood: 16. Age of consent: 16. Age of military draft eligibility: 16.

Subsequently, since they're adults, we should also remove protections for individuals from their parents at 16 years of age and above. They're fully capable people.

You're absolutely right. I'm wrong. Completely. Thanks for pointing that out.

I read it more allegorically than that.

Being at war with nature is a good metaphor for our behaviour, because we seem determined to completely vanquish it and bend it to our will.

Of course it's a bitter irony that if we are at war with nature, we are at war with ourselves (because as you say we come from nature). I think that's implied by the passage.

The way we interact with nature is different in kind from other species, not just in scope.

For humans, it's not enough to take , say, just the fish that we need. Because of money we take _all_ the fish we can get and then sell them. What doesn't sell is thrown out.

Part of my wife's job is to research Medicaid billing codes for every state (yes, this is a state thing, but I'm just making an example). Once in a while she can get their codes in a form as "advanced" as an excel spreadsheet. But more likely she'll get a PDF doc that she's got to run through an OCR programming to convert it to a spreadsheet, and has to check for errors. Or for some states, nothing is published at all - she's got to piece it together from partner hospital billing records.

There's no doubt that getting this data into a sane format will take the states some extra resources.

But when you consider how much more efficient this will make my wife's company, and every other provider of Medicaid services, it's bound to be a huge win on net. And improving efficiency of delivering healthcare should be important.

The government is big, but the private sector is still much larger. So there's great leverage to make our overall systems more efficient because an investment in efficiency on the government side will be multiplied many times over as seen by the many private entities that the government is overseeing.

Everybody will try to get as much food over the border as possible. Everybody will work together. The EU, the UK, the US, everybody. But this could still go very very bad.

What do you think "chaos at the border" means?
Every truck, train and ship has to get the papers checked where they could just drive through before. But there are not enough qualified officers to actually check all the papers.

So goods will come in at a trickle.

This is the UK governments own statement. Chaos at the border for six months:

> Britain’s government has revised its worst-case Brexit scenario estimates for chaos at the country’s borders, which it now expects to last for six months rather than six weeks, the political editor of The Sun newspaper said.

I wouldn't bother opting out. You'll just get added back in. They don't care.

In fact, opting out may end up giving them more information about you that will end up in their databases.

I myself tried to opt-out, got a confirmation, and soon ended up back in again. I've talked with many others who've gone through the same fail.

This is clearly wrong. I think most people though it was bullshit all along, used to sway a few million idiots.
> You are forgetting 1 aspect. Advertisement. I gladly pay extra to not watch commercials.

Yes, it's good to point that out. I think people _are_ willing to pay more to have no ads, and have on-demand access to content.

I would throw in another thing I could have thrown in originally as well, which I didn't really think of - the TV equivalent of "killer apps." The reason I stick with Amazon is because they picked up a couple of shows I really, really love - The Man in the High Castle and The Expanse. I don't want to lose access to those.

Similarly, I briefly subscribed to CBS All Access while the new Star Trek: Discovery season aired last year - and when Season 2 comes out, I'll likely do so again. I love Star Trek so much that I'm willing to pay the $7 per (call it $3 per episode) month just for that... but as soon as it stops coming out, I cancel.

> I think the difference is, no one is betting that you actually do have an unforeseen incident,

You are. When you buy insurance, you are betting that you will have an unforeseen incident and will utilize your insurance.

The fact that you are doing so to offset some financial risk doesn't change the fact that you are gambling.

I don't see why source of a risk matters here. I believe the position I am arguing against is that that motivation of hedging against risk makes gambling-like behavior not gambling.

As far as I can tell your position is:

Gambling-like behavior is not gambling if it is done to offset non-gambling related risk.
> There are all sorts of laws which protect people from themselves, this is nothing new. See; seatbelt laws for an obvious and simple example.

and they are all a grotesque overextension of state power. although seatbelt laws are actually not a good example; they protect people outside your vehicle as well.

I guess we just have different values. I don't want to be a revenue center for the state to optimize.

> Another big change is BluRay, which I've found has far and away higher quality than streaming of any type.

Standard Blu-ray (As opposed to UHD Blu-ray) doesn't have, to me, subjectively better (or even as good) quality than either 4K and/or HDR content available from YouTube, with the particular data connection I have at home, and with the screen I use. (I'm not currently paying for the 4K service from Netflix.)

I haven't actually compared UHD BluRay to 4K/HDR streaming. But a lot of this is going to vary by streaming provider, codec, data connection, and display hardware.

It's basically the same thing that got Donald Trump elected. An endless parade of stories about how foreigners are making your life worse and the government is bending over backwards for them while you are out of a job. Propaganda works. Lies you want to hear get votes. Nuance does not.
If you can think of a good reason to do so, maybe. Two and a half years passing, having far more information about the process, and questions about the legality of the leave campaigns seem like perfectly legitimate reasons to hold a second vote before committing to such sweeping, largely-irreversible, constitutional change.
I have to agree that it is bizarre that the two main parties were talking all about growth while failing to acknowledge the role immigration was playing in that growth, and especially to the demographics of the workforce.

Perhaps if they had been more upfront, discussing how (in a country where we are not so far away from having more retired people than workers), letting more young workers in is playing an important role in the economy.

Then you hear that Teresa May herself suppressed reports that stated that the average immigrant was contributing more in terms of taxation (net) than the average Brit (for the demographic reasons above). This suggests that they were not just 'sticking their fingers in their ears', they were actively promoting an anti-immigrant agenda.

The problem with you rejecting my claim as a "sweeping generalization" is that you've done exactly the same in your counter argument.

Polls are not reliable (they didn't predict the vote, after all). The vote is the most reliable data we have on the positions of the people of the UK. It is the biggest sample set of any measurement performed, and 1.3M more people turned out to vote leave than to remain.

My assessment of today's youth is that they're rebellious, like any generation of youth. What they're rebelling against is pro-EU, pro-socialism that has been fed to them throughout their childhood. Conservatism is on the rise among the young.
