>First, thin air alone doesn’t fully explain the cognitive deficits observed in mountain climbers, since the Kilimanjaro group fared worse than the altitude chamber group.

they should have made the chamber group doing heavy weight-lifting and treadmill running in the chamber (with thermostat set to -40 degrees) and i bet the results would be very close.

>And second, fatigue from prolonged exercise doesn’t explain the difference, since the ski touring group didn’t show any negative effects.

if anything, cross-country skiing pumps you up with energy and overall great feeling. Your brain works even better after that, and even of you get very tired, it isn't really a fatigue like you get during even modest mountain hiking (did Shasta once and it was pretty tough for me even just a bit beyond 4km - you feel really slow and remembering some stuff later with friends - happen to be more stupid than usual too). They should have tested super-marathon of 100mi instead of cross-country skiing.

The article somehow dances around obvious - oxygen insufficiency (like at high altitude) which naturally gets aggravated by heavy physical activity/exercise as well as cold which at the altitude slows down body energy production while taking its significant share of produced energy (at high altitudes there is also some effect that digesting food isn't energy efficient anymore or something like this).

Any one factor alone that they tested - like the chamber - may just not be enough to hit the threshold where oxygen insufficiency (more precisely - resulting balance of energy production and consumption in the body) starts to affect the brain. Especially given that our body prioritizes oxygen delivery to the brain (just look at the blood vessels diagram).

But the second vote isn't about nullifying the first.

We accept the first vote: people want brexit. They don't know what deal the UK might get, and they think we can continue with no free movement, with full trade, and without being bound by EU law.

Now we know what brexit looks like it's perfectly fine to say "we're going to have to keep free movement, we won't have full trade, and we're going to have to maintain these EU laws if we want any trade at all: do you still want brexit?"

My first wasn't accessible from public Internet (defense contractor).

My second started in 1986, well before we had domain addressing, so a sender had to know 1) our corporate hostname, 2) my username, and 3) a well-known host to route through (like uunet, pyramid, decwrl, etc.)

The convention for publishing my address, therefore, was

It's pretty far from 52% of the population.

How is it difficult? You trigger article 50 and in two years time you're out, no questions asked.

Whether it's scary depends only on whether you're scared by the prospect of not having the advantages of membership anymore. If all the things you're saying about the EU are true, then leaving the EU should not be scary at all.
Voting until the result satisfies is not a solution either, IMO.

Exactly this. The problem that people have with Agile are mostly because they think they need to follow rigid Agile rules.

For me, there is only 1 true rule in Agile: good retrospectives!

Once you have good retrospectives, you can improve anything within the process. Any argument about "We cannot do 2 week sprints" falls out, because your team can decide whether 2 week sprints is in your best interest.
OSM is really awesome in (western) Europe. I use it all the time. All new bike trails are in it. Even the trees in down town are in it.
It is even great for car navigation. I used the map data to navigate in tiny beach villages in Spain, for a round trip in Iceland and on several other occasions in western Europe. However, i only relied on the data and let my Garmin device create the routes.
Maybe it would help if the term "hobby" managed to lose its stigma of "uptight, unproductive nonsense". A substantial part of today's (open source) software landscape has begun as work from hobbyists. There are hobbies (like cosplay or - yes game development) which take enormous dedication, manage to amaze a lot of people and, in rare cases, can make the hobbyist famous.

Nevertheless, those are usually not the things you spontaneously think of when you hear the term. So maybe untangling the different motivations and giving more value to things that are not immediately meant to make a living could help to make a change.
It might be true that even though I have a JTB about something I might be wrong.

Which countries was the Euro "completely infeasible" for, and what are the facts demonstrating this statement is true? It's a very strong assertion.

No, the EU is showing the UK that it can't cherry pick all the advantages without shouldering any of the responsibilities.

> It certainly has not delivered on its promises and now it faces a backlash from its citizens.

It absolutely delivered on a great amount of promises and did an excellent job of unifying the bargaining power of its individual states on a world scale. Not saying that there aren't any issues, but we'd be so much worse off without the union. Using some parts that didn't work out well as a reason to shun the EU is like shooting yourself in the foot because your toe hurts.

Just because some existentialists said life is absurd, doesn't make it so. (Maybe it was to do with the cultural loss of religion, God no longer there watching, giving life meaning - the creator of the universe caring a lot about you personally, eternal life etc. That plus WW2..)
Has been (and is) my ISP for more than 15 years. It's so sad to see it go, as decided by KPN. Apparently XS4ALL workers new about this decision just 30 minutes before the public announcement.

It's also the ISP I definitely have the best support experience with, always happy to help, even with personal projects. It's tragic to see a brand like KPN (which is generally considered quite bad) kill XS4ALL which is generally seen as a quality provider. KPN says nothing will change for existing customers, but I don't believe in that.

Sadly the alternatives are very limited. In the area I currently live in I seem to have two other choices, one of which is KPN. Neither come close to what XS4ALL _was_. These alternatives don't properly support IPv6, they force you to use some obscure and locked down router, etcetera.

I hope some hardcore XS4ALL workers will fork the company to set up a new ISP to provide similar activities.

For example, it made it much easier for projects like Create React App to add optional support for TypeScript. When they added support, that just involved adding an optional extra step to the compilation process (checking whether you violated the type constraints) to make sure you actually get the benefits of TypeScript. Other than that, though, TypeScript projects using CRA use the exact same infrastructure when they use TypeScript, and the compiled output should be similar.

Before, this would have involved replacing Babel with TypeScript for transpiling. This means projects could have slightly different results depending on whether they were using TypeScript or not, increasing the surface area for bugs and adding an extra step to the debugging process.

I have to say that I actually agree with makomk. It was a good idea to opt out of the Euro. It was good for the UK and it was good for the EU. The issue I was originally trying to address was the impression that the UK had some special negotiating power to opt out of things they didn't want. In this case, I think it was mutually beneficial.

The point about other European countries is well taken and I believe there have been talks to get some countries out of the Euro zone. In part this is a big deal because countries like Germany don't want to prop up countries that are in financial difficulty. They have no controls for dealing with these problems and the result is that you need cash infusions from the EU to keep it all swimming.

But that's really the point, isn't it? How much of a "Union" do you want? It even gets to the heart of why some people want Briton to leave the EU.
I completely agree with you. Especially on point 1 and 2. I've had 2 negative experiences with Airbnb, and I can say that it would never have happened at a hotel.

- The first one had a host cancelling a week before my trip. It was a long expected Christmas trip, and I had booked well in advance. Airbnb offered a $30 voucher on their platform, but there was no more availability in the city, so we had to pay a hotel for three times the initial price, the voucher expired before we could use it.

- The second one had a room in very bad conditions. We decided to get a hotel and quickly found something much nicer for half the price. We notified the host that we would not stay, but since we were backpacking abroad it was very hard to contest anything with Airbnb. Ultimately we still payed the full price of our Airbnb booking.

>>That was the assumed state people voted on

I can't believe anyone would make such an assumption. I know some people who 1) voted leave 2) are perfectly aware that under WTO rules their businesses would literally have to close because they trade with EU and their European partners won't accept a ~20% hike on the price of British products due to non-EU custom duties. They all wanted out of EU because they don't like the immigrants, because they think Brussels has too much power, but they all wanted easy trade with the EU. WTO trade is not what they voted for.

* I've never tipped anyone in a hotel
* EU roaming is free, no need for wifi
* Fill the minifridge with my own beverages

All the AirBnbs I've stayed at have been somewhat sketchy, while this rarely happens with a hotel. Furthermore, I know hotels are fully legal and won't cancel my booking.

AirBnb is a clear winner when traveling with a small group though, as a multi-bed apartment is a better holiday experience and much cheaper than multiple hotel rooms.

Well, nothing is stopping the Republic of Ireland from following the UK. The EU can't even really do anything about it without starting a war, so a sudden surprise exit is entirely possible. This would solve the border issue.

Things would have been much less messy if Brexit had been implemented as a split of the EU, with the UK and Republic of Ireland running their own little 2-member EU government. Scotland could then be allowed to do their split from the UK while remaining in the mini-EU.
