The brexit issue is part of the bigger issue of the ongoing suicide of europe. Birmingham, where my father was born, is now majority non-anglosaxon, and with continued weak immigration controls europe will be majority african/arab/muslim in 50 years. There has never been an ethnic african science nobel prize winner, and despite 1.6 billion of the world's population being muslim, muslims have only won 2 nobel prizes in the sciences. So would changing the ethnic makeup of europe from ethnic european to majority african/arab/islamic alter the future of human civilization and progress to great detriment? Probably. You could argue that it is more important than any of the recent technical advances, because it may determine whether humanity pushes forward and progresses as a civilisation, or just doesn't.

China sends a million soldiers over its border with Korea with the usual instructions to try to kills as many soldiers of the enemy (composed mostly of US soldiers) as possible, and your reply is that that is not a major conflict between the US and China?

Alternatively, do you claim that the fact that China at that time lacked nukes somehow emboldened China whereas if they had had nukes, they would have hesitated?
I use it for TV shows, and movies. It's my main source of television next to HBO NOW. I think I would only drop it if they added ads, hit the $20/month mark, or there was a legitimate competitor without ads.

I would probably drop HBO NOW before I dropped Netflix.
Why does it have to be one or the other? I don't think a company is greedy if they raise the price on a luxury item more than the rate of inflation. Consumers speak with their dollars.

WHEN EXPORTING TO THE EU, yes. The ~90% of UK businesses that don't do any trade with the EU do not. Those trading with the rest of the world outside the EU - a majority of the UK's trade, and rising steadily - do not.

I don't watch TV. This is from numerous print sources, but especially The Economist. And you yourself described the failed plan as "as unfavorable a set of exit conditions as possible", so I'm still waiting to hear what a favorable set of exit conditions would have looked like - one that actually stood a chance of getting both UK and EU approval.
This is a complicated topic, but a short and overly basic version:

There are many people in the UK - as in the US, as in most of the West, actually - for whom neoliberalism has not been kind.

They see immigrants getting jobs and struggle to make ends meet and have been told via various right wing media outlets (in the UK, principally the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Sun, Telegraph and Times newspapers), that there are two causes: uncontrolled freedom of movement in Europe and the political classes that are taking their marching orders from an unelected European Commission.

This view misses out important details. Firstly, it's not accurate in the slightest. It also doesn't reflect the fact the sort of people who are the root cause are the rich globalists who don't pay tax, such as people who own the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Sun, Telegraph and Times newspapers, for example.

However, the view has been built up over entire lifetimes. There are sprinklings of truth about sovereignty (akin to the fact that States have limited powers in the US), inefficiencies in how the European Union does its business (c.f. the Strasbourg/Brussels move and split), and so on.

However the UK gets far more economic benefit than it spends, and the poorest of communities like South Wales have had far more spent on it in targeted social programmes by the EU than has ever been spent by Westminster.

Let me give you a direct example: Lincolnshire is a farming community that had seen declining populations for decades. A large number of farming labour jobs have been filled by people from Europe - particularly Eastern Europe - because they are prepared to do work locals are not, at a price that locals will not consider.

Lincolnshire is a hard Leave area. Boston is IIRC the highest Leave vote in the country. When you ask there people why, one of their favourite anecdotes is the strain the Europeans put on local services.

They sit in an A&E unit waiting hours to be seen, and are surrounded by Eastern Europeans. They think "all these people here are the reason my waiting time is so long, they're using services I pay for! If we got rid of them, I'd have been seen by now!"

The context they are missing is that multiple A&E units in that county were slated for closure. The reason they remain open is because of high demand - from Eastern Europeans.

If we block freedom of movement, they would not be seen quicker. The unit would not exist. It would be closed. But that's not how they see it.

The real culprit as to why waiting times are so high is not because of the Eastern Europeans waiting with them, but because the government has cut funding, because tax receipts are lower than they could be, because certain rich businessmen have lobbied for tax breaks and then told the editors of the papers they own to blame the foreigners...

So there is a huge amount of anger built out of lies and misdirection that will take generations to undo. And they are so convinced of these lies, they are prepared to cause chaos. One of them before the last referendum murdered an MP (a woman called Jo Cox), and that will be but the first of many.

But those are all non-standard, right? At least, I quickly skimmed through R7RS & don't see them in there. So they're either Guile-specific extensions, or your project implemented them, or they are a third-party library which has not undergone the same scrutiny as the standard itself.

> What's preventing the referendum from being declared stupid and that the UK gov't is not going to do it?

Nothing except politics. The referendum is advisory and not legally binding. The Leave campaign has been found guilty of criminal offences. But actually, the referendum result is the closest thing May has to a mandate, her party won a minority in the parliamentary elections.
Reverse solidarity is not a problem. Its that lotteries are economically inefficient: what the 1 person gets is less than the sum of the parts, that is truly destructive.

For many Pro-Brexit people they felt May's deal didn't really leave the EU. A very major sticking point is that provisions in the exit agreement, refereed to as the "backstop", that in theory and possibly in practice could legally trap the UK in a half completed transition deal forever with the UK always subject to EU rules. Overall the agreement May put forward is basically an agreement to start the next phase of negotiations to start discussions on a transition agreement which would maybe hopefully be finished by the year 2020 or 2021 or a day after never. Also paying 39 billion pounds and not knowing what the next phase of negotiations would deliver.

For Remainers(Anti-Brexit) the agreement was to start the process to leave the EU so of course those people didn't like the agreement either.
They are actually in control over the movement to "end" the carbon economy. It's relatively easy to measure, quantify, & tax carbon dioxide emissions. It's more difficult to be concerned over the plethora of industrial environmental toxins that affect local areas & ecosystems, such as lead, methane, cadmium, etc; which cut into the profits of many industries.

The carbon credit movement serves multiple purposes:

* to consolidate governance, legal, & market authority to a bureaucracy (which is controllable with capital)

* to create a carbon market that is exposed to financialization (derivative products)

* to distract attention of environmental activists away from environmental toxins (especially toxins that affect local areas which would affect profits)

* to create a barrier of entry for competing technologies, systems, & communities into the markets

* to create a movement of concerned people who believe in an ideology that they control

With the excessive fear re: CO2 emissions, the population is more willing to accept suggested measures (by these same hegemonic entities), to "solve" (via carbon markets) the "problem". Perception is reality...

Netflix is going to be $156 per year. This is similar in price to Amazon Prime, Playstation Plus, and Xbox Live combined. I usually by the latter two on sale, which can get the combined price under Netflix. Personally, I get a lot more out of those services than Netflix.

I don't see any fallacy. I'm sure some elections in the UK are decided by a few votes as well, and they too are accepted. Why should a referendum be any different. The definition of a majority is 50% + 1 vote all over the world. The definition of majority vote is that majority decides the vote. And in this case nearly 1.3 _million_ more people voted to leave than to stay, not a few dozen.

Have licensing agreements changed at all in the past 10-15 years?

It seems like shifting to a model of [Base License Fee] + X Revenue/Hours Streamed would improve the situation and allow IP holders to commodify streaming services.

You would still have exceptional cases like HBO and Disney where it would be worth the effort to run their own streaming service to capture all the revenue, but I don't see the average consumer willing to subscribe to an endless number of streaming services (maybe 2-3 tops for an average US consumer).

> What is preventing the referendum from being declared stupid and that the UK gov't is not going to do it

Essentially, they want to honor the will of the people. The will of the people, by democratic vote, was to leave the EU.

With that in mind, they have no options that are in any way good:

1) Push ahead and exit with no-deal (economically disastrous)

2) Push ahead and exit with the proposed deal (economically bad while also not really exiting)

3) Declare it a bad idea and just don't do it (political suicide for everyone involved & creates distrust in democratic process)

4) Hold another referendum where it's going to have to be a decision between staying in or exiting with no deal (also political suicide & creates distrust).

There's no way for anyone to win here. I think the best option is for the PM to "take one for the team" (i.e. the country) and take option 3/4, knowing that it will be the end of her and her party.
> It will leave 17m people in an absolute rage, and they have already murdered one MP. It'll get worse.

So, the decision making is kept as hostage by 17m angry people who won't accept that their side winning was based on pretty much fraudulent arguments? Maybe, just maybe, it could be in the long run worth paying the price of their anger and show that the modern democratic society has some backbone against these kind of people?
Some elections, ie, local elections on representation. Not major elections with constitutional implications.

There is a reason that it takes 2/3 of the Senate to ratify international agreements, and 3/4 of the states to change the constitution. Brexit is a constitutional change.

Of course, the only way to get the "economy is stable" result in the short term is to stay in the EU, or to make a deal that's effectively "stay in the EU, but also lose all political power in the EU".

Unless it is a digital clock, then it is never right.
"Why" falls into dangerous conversational territory in my opinion. That of feelings. You start asking why life at all? Philosophy! Crazy stuff but it can be fun.

But I don't think there are any "why"s big enough to make people accept a small amount of personal inconvenience. It just isn't in humans to operate on a macro Earth sized scale. The only way to achieve it is create the alternatives and make them more attractive than the current status quo or force the change through government regulations.

You see plenty of people helping out on one cause or another but no one can do all the things all the time. So small changes in culture are what works best. For example the local anti-smoking change which happened only recently was bolstered by the ban on indoor smoking in my city.
30 minutes to charge still reduces the throughput of the gas station (because filling up with gasoline only requires 10 minutes not 30), meaning that now they'd have 1/3 of customers, meaning that they'd need to make their charging prices really high to make up for the lost revenue.

Ask HN: Tools for legal documents development
Hi,

A legal case development seems close to an app development in terms of creating the right shape of text including many reviews and decisions made by a group of people.

I wonder if there are some tools (possibly other than word files circulating via email) which would bring some powers from code development to the legal case/text development.

Define "govern well". Is that where the will of the people is aligned as closely as possible to public policy and government action? Is it where their quality of life is most improved regardless of their desires? It's a hard question to answer.

China governs very well as an autocracy, if I had to measure by the quality of life of its citizens. Yes, their will is not expressed through representation, but China has done more than any other nation or company to pull an enormous amount of humans out of poverty in a short amount of time. They have traded a reduction in representation and exerted will for a reduction in suffering.

It's a similar thought exercise to "What is success?" I cannot answer your question unfortunately.
Entering it too was not readily reversible. Why should exit be any different?
Yeah but that's just military tactics. As well just fly a bomber in and just drop a bomb on the capital. Same deterrent value.
I literally opened your profile to see if you were some troll account based on your comment. It appears not. A steal of a deal would be popcorntime but that is another story, but even at 13$ I don't feel there was any steal of a deal. It used to be 8$ and for the few times I watch tv in a month 8$ was on price point, 13 is not. I am still waiting for them to give some good reason to join again. Maybe it is because I come from a time where you could split the cable with a simple splitter and the entire house got your cable package. Now they only let so many streams at once or pay more. Now you only get a certain quality of stream or pay more.Nickle and dime us the entire way for no added value. I don't want to have to pay for 5 steams because my kids can't agree on what to watch and all need their own show. I just want the ease and convenience of things like xbmc and the likes. Willing to pay a fair price but once you start nickle and diming it makes people jaded.

That’s exactly my experience too. And I usually give up and end up opening an illegal copy of Netflix with better content.

With Netflix I thought we would finally get a “Spotify” for movies, but they don’t even have 1% of the movies I’m looking for.
On point 2, there's quite a complex answer. Firstly, the vote was basically "Leave or Remain". Remain meant stay in the EU on the current known terms. Leave meant... well: You could leave the EU but remain a part of the single market for trade (this was promised during the referendum), you could leave but have a custom arrangement with the EU like Switzerland which means you retain EU law but have no vote (this was also promised during the referendum), or you could leave all the EU institutions and then re-enter a random assortment of them like Euratom (this was also promised during the referendum) or you could leave the EU entirely and just start negotiating some free trade agreements like the EU's relationship with Canada (this was also promised in the referendum).

The key is that because the 'Leave' campaign weren't in government and weren't one single organised group and didn't actually hold power they could promise literally anything safe in the knowledge that they'd never have to actually deliver it. In fact after 'Leave' won the referendum the Prime Minister resigned and none of the key Leave campaigners actually mounted a serious campaign to replace him- someone who campaigned for remain was put in charge almost unchallenged.

So through all this murkiness you end up with one key fact: 48% of the country wanted to remain, 52% wanted some form of leaving but each of those options I listed above probably garner no more than 20% of the vote by themselves. So we're 52:48 in favour of leaving, and 80:20 against any specific way of leaving.

Netflix is a bundle. For stuff that's not on Netflix, I can often buy individual seasons or episodes on Amazon. This is often cheaper than maintaining a subscription all year.
