Cheating - no. May is simply the wrong politician to have put in charge at this time. She is secretive and seems not to understand the people making up her own party, let alone parliament.

Time is short, but if there were some move toward EEA-based , I bet means would be made for an extension. These deadlines are essentially artificial, after all, and it is not only the UK that will be badly damaged if a deal is not reached.
Except as soon as a the issue is found it'll be patched...
If the result had gone the other way, the UK would have voted to remain in the EU.

If a 2nd referendum came along a couple years later, nothing would have materially changed.

It's difficult to argue that nothing has materially changed in the process of trying to actually Brexit.

I've been trying to get it into a nice state, but it is a process.
To some extent isn't that expected?

Let's face it - who would spend the money to fund a study on a substance that's been around for hundreds (thousands?) of years?

Probably if you're going to spend the money to investigate it, you expect some kind of return. So sadly, all these studies end up being funded by people with an interest in a positive outcome.

The bigger question to me is, does that immediately invalidate their results?
It is not doing well. It's turning back into the sick man of Europe. Productivity growth is among the lowest in the EU.
"There's a problem, especially in X space. Let's ignore X, only deal with the simplest methods, pretend that this is innovative, and give it a click-baity title."

Why is this on the front page?
This thinking is narrow. There is a parliamentary majority, and a majority within her own party, for an EEA-style solution.
Yeah, I think the proximal issue is that many govt. bureaucrats struggle to keep up with documentation requirements as-is. In some (many?) cases, it takes an exceedingly long time, else does not get done at all.

But--it's possible that better access to open data and a stronger culture in govt. around using data-driven decision and policymaking could improve on this in the long run. Not to mention the fact that much of the pre-existing paperwork requirements could be automated (if implemented carefully).
I've actually been looking for the opposite of this (i.e. sound in, mouth representation out) for a while. Does anyone know of such a thing?
When I’m not drinking coffee, I’m less forgetful and think more clearly. I’m less anxious and better in tune with my body. I also feel more myself.

But I love coffee and am usually consuming it. Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ll need to try taking a break soon.
On this topic, I recall reading earlier computers (of the 80s) used radio tuners tuned into nothing to generate random numbers. Of course, you need some way to randomly choose the frequency but then what comes out should be pretty unpredictable.

I believe Random.org uses an approach similar to this. What is so special about this approach that we couldn't install it as a card in a desktop for example?

I don't think this solves the problem of people getting distracted. If I make 10 API calls and then get called away to do Super Important Thing for the next 6 days, I'm probably pretty likely to give up on a service if my trial period is reduced to 1 day.

Have you thought about N API calls for a trial? That's what I've used for API-first products in the past that worked pretty well for me.
Wouldn't it be far worse if they ban you after you're up and running?
This is pretty much how the whole thing sounds to this American.

I clicked through to a NYT article that lays out the various things that could happen next in a decision tree. But every leaf node is unpopular, undersireable and still leaves a bunch of questions unanswered.
It has always perplexed me why there is a desire to deal with kind of thing at the federal level in the first place. States being able to decide these things for themselves is supposed to be what makes such a massive country stay functional.
On the other hand Uber is now operating mostly aboveboard while Airbnb, at least in its single largest market (NYC), is like Napster in its second incarnation—-while it may itself not be violating any laws the overwhelming majority of its facilitated transactions are illegal. That’s a dicey thing to invest in.
Apple can only use OSM data pre license change which is very old now, those links are to contributions Apple is making to OSM (similar to the big Microsoft contributions) which are probably there as a way of trying to prevent a Google monopoly, but not indications that Apple is using the data.
Are you familiar with any web browsers that would not do a "sufficiently well" job of interpolating? I wouldn't expect a browser to use anything less than bilinear, which is fine for the use case presented. The author freely admitted that the technique isn't universal for all images.

Yes, I just have to cover the same functionality in other ways before removing my accounts.
depending on the station, and how many attendants are working, you can be up around 30 minutes. I've seen some very efficient stations that do a lot of turnaround, and some very inefficient stations that have 10 lanes of 6-8 cars per lane waiting.

that said, even at a full tank, that's only 220 miles for me, so unless I'm leaving Oregon on a trip, a 15 minute charge sounds amazing.

the good news is that I've not seen a charging station that had an attendant.
Skepticism is a force, yes, but otherwise your claim looks very much like post-hoc reasoning. This is simply not the case.
My Toyota has automatic highbeams which use the forward camera (which is primarily used for collision avoidance) to theoretically switch off the brights. In practice it doesn't seem to sense oncoming vehicles soon enough (even with my brights off the LED headlights provoke a lot of people to flash their brights at me, until I flash back and leave them sunburnt).

You mean like your 9th and 10th Amendment rights from the Bill of Rights?
Quite a bit. The UK is a nuclear power of sorts, has always been seen as a major player in NATO and is one of the more powerful countries in the EU from a military point of view.
Healing alone: the story of a first-year doctor and a widower in hospital
The EU is not the only thing keeping Europe from being deaf and blind, and Russia has much better targets than most of the EU if it was going to take expansion risks. This is needless fearmongering.
You're talking about an extremely bright flood beam with zero attempt whatsoever to avoid blinding oncoming drivers, which is the exact opposite of what's being described here.

The US regulations are bloody terrible. If you want to see cool high-tech lighting, go to Europe.

Do youtube searches for "Audi Matrix headlights", Mercedes Multibeam, etc.
It appears to be a personal website; I believe it is miscategorised.
Peter Thiel was specifically talking about people thinking that the businesses are similar, while they're not. AirBnB has a much higher network effect, because there's a huge difference in the listings, while I don't usually care which taxi company I use.
Google has far more reach online than FB. The risks and harms with FB are largely social. Google is scary because of the type and amount of data they have and the amount of influence they have over the direction of the internet.

Both companies scare the hell out of me but for different reasons.
But "the data" can show no such thing. As I said, it can be better for some and worse for others.
Completely - you could also say that reducing DNA damage might actually also decrease immune system surveillance that might be happening causing worse than expected outcomes. Imagine if a lot of cells that might have killed themselves stay alive because of drinking coffee might actually turn out to be a bad thing. We just don't know enough to say for sure and these sort of studies are wildly difficult to get mortality figures from.

We still aren't even sure what general diet is fully optimal long term let alone if one constituent can give actual life expectancy benefits.
there are two states (out of 50) that do not allow drivers to pump their own gas, so in that case, yes, it can take more than 15 minutes to visit the pump.
To be clear, the scare-mongering implied all these things would happen near enough immediately following a leave vote.
That’s mostly because more people are in the UK than ever before.
But the DUP have vetoed it, and they're all that matters unless someone can assemble the alleged EEA majority into a government.
While I agree that the fossil fuel industry is positioning itself to prosper in a post fossil fuel economy, I don’t believe that it is completely manufacturing the concern over climate change.

Removing something from an entropy pool because it could be used by an attacker seems really odd to me.
1. The proven illegal overspend by Leave was enough, according to people who model these things, to sway around 800K voters. The margin was less than that.

2. This is not about FUD. This was egregious lies:

a) Daniel Hannan: “Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the single market.”

b) David Davies: "There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside."

c) Michael Gove: "The day after we vote to leave we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want."

d) Boris Johnson: "There will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market."

Never mind the £ 350m for the NHS per week on the bus.

As I said in the parent post it is already required on all new cars in Europe as of now.
> There is a parliamentary majority, and a majority within her own party, for an EEA-style solution.

But is there unanimous support among the remaining EU members? Because, I mean, every single UK politician (or citizen) could agree on an EEA-style solution, and it still wouldn't be a real option without that required support in the EU.
I’ve heard a lot of people make the point that it’d be political suicide if the government declares brexit a bad idea and then backtracks, ignoring the referendum and thus remain in the EU after all, that it’d feed into the hand of the nationalists – but I’ve got hard time understanding why? Doesn’t this assume that people are just dumb? That hey believe the government has been sitting on their hands in trying to get a deal done, and not really, I mean really tried?

Isn’t there an argument to be made that they did try, and here are the results, and because of that they’ve concluded that it’s a bad idea? Is it really so hard to believe that a majority of the UK voters wouldn’t accept this, when it was such a contested referendum result in the first place?

Especially so when the referendum question was only discussing leaving the EU, rather than promising any particular outcomes?

I’m having a hard time believing that a majority of people in the UK are so entrenched that they can’t possibly change their minds given the light of new facts, hat everyone will turn to nationalistic agendas, and that the referendum result of two and a half years ago is still a valid gauge of popular sentiment.
> The first half of the essay seems fairly humble, all things considered, with him saying things like "People always ask if I am a “genius,” but my parents explain that genius is an action ― it requires solving big problems that have a human impact", which I think is great. But the second half seems much more focused on him being very smart and fully capable and just as good as an adult, thank you very much... and I think that's something for his parents to watch out for.

There's a difference between being able to learn something quickly that many people have also learned (though perhaps much more slowly) and having an impact. It sounds like both the author and his parents understand this. The former will eventually help with the latter as long as the latter remains a goal.
Here is a sort of interactive infograph version of the Big Mac index: https://www.economist.com/news/2019/01/10/the-big-mac-index

The data is on github: https://github.com/TheEconomist/big-mac-data
This sounds "great", but how exactly does your team that works on say, a matrix library for computer graphics, expose its data over the network?

Perhaps instead of it being "all teams" it should be "all cpu processes"?
You're a true leader with your inspiring, insightful comments.

I've worked with these engineers for the past 5 years as a technical lead and as their manager. I'm thoroughly qualified to pass critical judgment on them. I instituted Scrum because they asked for it thinking it would be helpful. It hasn't had that effect. My point was that process means little if your people aren't engaged.
Unionist hate it because it would set a precedent for one part of the UK to be treated differently to the other countries. If a hard border in the Irish Sea is ok for Northern Ireland, why not a border at Carlyle? Unionists stamp their feet and tout in indivisibleness of the UK, SNP/Plaid Cymru use the special treatment of NI to demonstrate how Westminster isn’t providing the best government for their countries.
So DDG will now use Apple’s data to find places? Please don’t. It should be the other way around.

Not even a month ago I made a search for a famous place in Lisbon (you know, big metropolitan area, capital of Portugal, 11th-most populous urban area in the European Union) and Apple Maps didn’t even know it existed. Made the search in DDG and it found it, from where I had to copy the address and manually search for it in Maps.

Or I could’ve used Google Maps in one try, but I genuinely want DDG and Apple Maps to succeed so I keep trying. But please do use the best data of both, don’t replace one with the other.
Interesting point about Broadway being disconnected from pop music coinciding with a decline...
Anti-gambling sentiment and related laws in US date back to the 19th century. But those laws didn't discriminate between various types of gambling, it was all illegal. Washington is one of the states that never relaxed it fully. To this day, casinos are only legal on reservations, for example.

https://statelaws.findlaw.com/washington-law/washington-gamb...

So this all is separate from the Federal Wire Act, and the even more recent discussion on how to interpret it wrt online gambling.
It depends on the ratio of studies funded vs studies published.

I wouldn't be surprised if around 90-95% of special interest funded studies that aim for a p value of <5% aren't published.
I mean more often than not, news touts the good side. What's thought to be negative anymore, aside from cafesol which can be filtered?
I don't see the connection between slavery and capitalism. It seems to me slavery is distinctly anti-capitalist because slaves do not compete in the labor market.
Not strictly true - JPG is best only if you need smaller images at the expense of image quality. I save photos as PNG all the time if I want to keep them losslessly.
I think it's too early to say that none of those bad outcomes have happened because the UK hasn't actually left yet. The actual policy though under remain was known, leave was just a cloud of displeasure at the EU with no idea what the actual policy would be. My point isn't about what either side claimed would happen it's that the policy each vote would result in was solid on the remain side and completely fluid on the leave side. Regardless of bad claims by either side that fact makes me open to a second referendum.
And also sometimes referred to as applications. And while the abbreviation “app” only became mainstream around the time of the first iPhone, the warez scene had a habit of referring to software applications as “appz” since way before then, which admittedly is not the exact same word as “app”, appz being an intentional misspelling of a pluralization of the abbreviation, but it’s close to it. They sure loved the letter z. Appz, crackz, mp3z, moviez, gamez, ebookz.

This way of writing gave people some unique words to query search engines for, making it easier to find warez sites, torrent trackers and ftp servers hosting pirated files but I think it orginated long before the web was born — even before any sort of networked computing existed.

Consider the word “phreaking” which was invented at the time of mechanical telephone switching systems. This word came from combining the words “phone” and “freaking”. I think that word could have inspired hackers to use use ph in place of f in other words, and then once you start making that substitution, other substitutions follow, like using z instead of s.

I dunno, I grew up in the 90s so there is a lot of hacker culture that precedes my time. What I do know is that a lot of early hacker culture spawned other subcultures, and that several influences of the origins remain central in these. For example, the demoscene.
Awesome, hope your team is successful.
Yeaaaaaaah but who else would do the study

Cmon use your head here

Whether its the sugar company or the coffee company, who else would do the study just so some college conspiracy theorists dont make a netflix documentary

NOBODY

Its okay to acknowledge the conflict of interest thats literally what the disclaimer is for, but lets not pretend like a more objective version of this study would have ever happened
Aren't you the product on DDG? Like they still sell ads and do marketing. Just less invasively than Google.

An argument could also be made for Linux, that the users are the product. Like why does all this development get done on Linux? Because people use it. Why do companies choose Linux on their servers? Cause all the users that know it.

Sure, you're not getting exploited on these platforms, which is awesome, but the users are still valuable to each of them.
You're going to need a bigger bucket then.

The problem with simple rules is it removes all nuance. For example, when smoked tobacco is extremely addictive and therefore harmful according to you. But then you would ignore all the other practical, medicinal uses that tobacco has when used with wound dressing and pain relief.

Of course that's not a perfect comparison to coffee and caffeine, but just because you've got people hard-addicted to Starbucks lattes and espresso doesn't mean caffeine is flat-out harmful to us all.
Let’s try to avoid another unabomber...

This kid’s story is interesting but I feel he’s got immense amounts of work ahead of him to socialize in the “real” world. Not elementary school, not high school not college but the real world. Being socialized and able to navigate is also distinctly different than having a “high EQ”.
Surveillance can exist without capitalism and capitalism can exist without surveillance but this conversation is about the effect of both coexisting in a symbiotic relationship.
Why are png's better for logos over SVG?
There's money to be made selling these information to hospitals. It's just really hard to sell things to hospitals.
Just curious, do government services really not have any reserve funding? It seems like avoiding shutdowns could be solved pretty easily by having reserve funds (at least for 1-3 months or so).

But perhaps that's the point. Shutdowns are supposed to be inconvenient.
Right, shaking hands is literally an endorsement of everything the country does.

Unfortunately pointing out the obvious - that the destruction of our ecosystem is a direct result of the massive overpopulation of humans - almost always results in denials and rationalizations. Those who prefer to keep their heads in the sand about massive overpopulation wave their hands and attempt to rebut the problem with two absurd arguments.

First, deniers say that people who have been warning about overpopulation for centuries have always proven wrong. This flies in the face of all the evidence, such as the article being replied to. The verdict is in, there's no disputing the damage that has been done. The insects, the birds, the fish, virtually all large mammals (and most of the smaller ones).

The Second response deniers go with is that "we can solve the problem of overpopulation with new technologies". The damage is done! What's left of the environment is being destroyed right now. Talking about solving the problem of overpopulation by developing new technologies is like talking about inventing new ways to fight fires as you watch a building burn down in front of your eyes.

This is obviously not to say that we should be killing people off or forcibly sterilizing people or any of the feverish rhetoric used by those who don't want to face reality. It means that if we as a society want to continue to live on the planet earth we need to start having a conversation about what sort of population the earth can sustainably support and what sort of policies we should enact to reach that massively reduced number at some time in the future (which hopefully isn't too late).
Same as booking.com: users won't spend a second on looking at the second largest directory and directory customers cannot afford to not be present the one end users are looking at, they will grudgingly pay. The only question is which of booking and airbnb will survive, as their market overlap keeps getting bigger. In any case, those providing the actual hospitality service seem to be getting the short and of the stick.
It's pretty rare if you consider it percentage wise, as in proportion to all the vehicles on the road. Because there's so many hundreds of cars we encounter every single commute, even small percentages are reliably represented which makes rare things seem commonplace--after all, you see them every day. But the percentage of cars and motorcycles on the road that are older than fifty is still pretty dang low. Rare isn't the same as nonexistent, after all. I believe the average age of a vehicle on the road in the US is around eleven years, which is a record high.

My BMW R50/5 just turned 47, getting real close to that over-the-hill party. I'm planning to buy it a cake in a few years, plus I've got the parts for a top-end reseal. Going to be real classy. Definitely looking forward to it.
The problem is the possible need for an extension, and it is late. I believe that this would be given the time it needs. Nobody wants a crisis and even now, the UK is not an international pariah.
To be double clear a lot of those were also long term consequences too, eg: the 4300 number was by 2030.
