After brexit the people became a transcendent idea. An idea that nationalists want to have presidence over everything, including the democratic process and the rule of law. And at this point the people is just a proxy for the righteous authority of the nation.
> all the major Motorways are like this, there is no "name" for the M25, it's just the M25

You're right for practical purposes, but they do often technically have names. The M25 is the "London Orbital Motorway": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M25_motorway

> “The thing is, checks on non-EU trucks don’t take a couple of minutes,” Burnett told me. “They can take two or three hours.” Post-Brexit, British trucks would be non-EU. A team from London’s Imperial College subsequently estimated those queues could be 29 miles long at peak times on the British side, and there’s no reason to suppose it wouldn’t be the same on the French.

> all calls for a second referendum would be treated with utter contempt

Yes but it's symmetrical.

If result A then calls for second referendum greeted with derision by side B

If result B then calls for second referendum greeted with derision by side A

So no conclusion can be drawn by the fact that people are partisan. The question of whether a second referendum is a good idea is independent of the result of the first referendum.
At my former (software) company (I was the GC), on a couple of occasions we were the customer and were presented with problematic license agreements by vendors. Instead of trying to do a lot of revision of the vendors' contracts, I proposed that we just use our standard license agreement, but with us as the customer instead of as the vendor. Each time, the other vendor looked at our agreement and quickly agreed.

I have begun using Monte Carlo simulations for various modeling purposes at the company over the last two years. For example, I created a script to model a price increase and the expected outcome from that increase given a certain rate of churn. That gave me the confidence to go ahead with a 30% increase knowing that in the median case we would end up with more revenue even if some huge number of customers said bye bye.

The increase worked, and churn was lower than expected.
None of those articles constitutes evidence, they are just opinions of people wanting to push that line. In reality people voted brexit for very many reasons, seeking to dismiss it all as racism is just a lazy way to feel superior.
The EU has to agree to an Article 50 extension--the UK can't extend it unilaterally. And there isn't really even time for a general election and a new government by the Article 50 deadline anyway, let alone time to negotiate a new deal. Article 50 can be revoked, but it can't be revoked in bad faith just to unilaterally give yourself an extension before re-invoking it again. And why would the EU grant an extension when Parliament has already turned down the best deal they're going to get?

It's entirely outside of the UK's hands right now. The best option will have to be to let the no deal Brexit happen, allow a binding Irish unification referendum within the next five years, and let the British people learn from their own mistakes.
A company has always thousands of imporant tasks which they should do. But ressources are limited, so most of them simply can't be done. This task here is nice on paper, but in reality just a minimal enhancement over the existing solution.

or a second referendum.
On a national basis, the top 1% in the US don't have enough money to finance bespoke art heists (nor can they generally afford black market museum pieces). So it's probably not them :)...maybe the top 0.1% or 0.01% could.

Whenever I think about this particular topic, I come to the conclusion that there must be much more nuance to it. I assume the pieces are eventually sold outside of the United States, maybe to oligarchs or royalty in other countries. Or maybe they end up becoming more like "gray market" pieces that can be semi-safely purchased under the guise of spontaneously "re-surfacing" after a number of years.
That is not true in general. I accept that this government cannot. It is perfectly feasible to leave the European Union and remain within EEA, gaining control of laws that do not relate to maintenance of European standards and maintaining business continuity.

But to the broader point: my comment was about much more than social scoring systems.
This is... super weird to read, knowing it was written by a nine-year-old. That said... I think he has a lot of room for improvement still.

He says about getting into college:

> I had to go through interviews and assessments to prove to the administration that I had both the scholastic aptitude and the executive functions to attend college.

But then later:

> Because of the asynchronous development, I do not have good time-management skills or strong note-taking skills, and sometimes I have trouble reading my own handwriting! My parents help me by typing out study notes from my textbooks, even though they might not understand the content.

That is not what I would consider "the executive functions [needed] to attend college" if you were discussing the admission of a 9-year-old.

He also says:

> Also, I do whine a lot over homework because it is boring and long.

and

> my parents [...] keep reminding me that work ethic and ethos are more important than IQ

and finally

> I hope to transfer to MIT in two to three years. Hopefully, MIT will disagree with my parents’ definition of work ethic.

I don't doubt that the kid is smart, and possibly much more well-adjusted than many other super-smart young kids you hear about from time to time... but I still wonder about it all. I think he still has a lot of emotional development to be done, despite his doctors telling him his "EQ (emotional intelligence) was also surprisingly high".

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.

(Of course, I'm just some random person on the internet. His parents and support network probably know him better than I do. But these are just my thoughts.)
Well they were responsible for Tor that makes it germane - that was what I met by being in their domain. It is always perfectly fair to throw shade on them for their project based on their past actions.

The NSA really shouldn't be bringing up their mandate given how they have persistently undermined their own nation's security for the sake of snooping. And it is one of the most economically dependent upon it no less and needs the advanced economy to power its supremacy. It is so stupid one needs to invent elaborate and absurd fantasies to remotely justify it.

It still stinks of whataboutism to complain of dishonesty - not refuting the truth or justifying it as right but deflecting it and crying foul. Everyone is doing it is a poor excuse for juvenile delinquency and a worse one for agencies of world powers.

Slavery predates capitalism, it’s definitely not a consequence of it.

> Even now, forms of brexit based on remaining in the EEA have a great chance of having parliamentary support.

But that's not the deal with the EU and there is no time left to negotiate this I thought. Can you perhaps explain more?

Is it that you think May actually cheated the electorate that wanted Brexit? I though she was essentially on the side of Brexit?

Let's phrase it like this.

There would be nobody in parliament or government talking about a second referendum if remain had won. In fact it'd have been taken as a mandate to immediately pass more powers to Brussels, see the PESCO.
Um... not really. Anyone that wants to get drunk and stay drunk buys a large thing of vodka for a cheap price and goes home. Buy 2 on saturday if your state doesn't sell on Sunday. If you restrict it much more than that there is an easy black market.

Most of the laws don't really deal with people that drink too much. Bars might need to stop serving if someone is inebriated enough. There might be public intox laws, which occasionally get folks arrested for walking home instead of driving. Drunk driving laws, because it is bad And sometimes there are limits to hours and things.

None of these things deter anyone determined and I'm guessing more than one of them catch more folks that don't have a big problem than the ones that do.

Overly optimistic forecasting creates normalization of deviance

Maybe, but perhaps it also pulled in deadlines overall. Would workers have worked as hard to ramp up production without those deadlines and pressure? Sure the forecasting misses may have resulted in a short term dip in the stock price, but that was likely worth it overall if it pulled in the delivery date substantially.

It a misrepresentation of what is referred to the "backstop" aspect of the Withdrawal Agreement (incorrectly called the "Brexit Deal" in the header above).

The "backstop" stipulates that any future trading relationship does not violate terms of the Irish peace agreement known as the Good Friday Agreement - specifically that there would be no physical checks at the border in Ireland.

Currently the border is virtually invisible because the UK and Ireland are EU members and in the same customs zone.

If, in the future, the UK decides it would prefer to leave the Customs Union (you can be in the customs union but not in the EU), then this would require a special arrangement for Ireland - probably requiring customs checking to be done between Northern Ireland and Britain instead of between north and south in Ireland.

For some people (and I don't know why - see my comment above), this is absolutely objectionable even though this arrangement would enjoy popular support in both parts of Ireland. If you're not prepared to accept this arrangement, then the UK would be stuck in the EU's customs union.

Of course if you want to leave the customs union (otherwise what's the point of brexit), then you have to accept the special arrangement for Northern Ireland or basically renege on the terms of Irish peace agreement.

The economics are also much works for an Uber driver than an AirBnB host.
I don't see the contradiction here. Remain was what it says on the tin stay in the EU and any desired changes happen within the system of the EU. My whole point is the leave has gone from this huge nebula of different brexits to one, the one currently negotiated by PM May.

Ideally if it were possible the vote should have never been held until there was an actual deal or at least a concrete foundation. Without the actual details of a deal the referendum isn't much better than an opinion poll on the EU because there's no facts about what leave actually means before it's negotiated. Or a vote to initiate the process and another about the actual facts of the deal.

Craigslist has a fantastic moat: they are insanely operationally efficient. To make more money than craigslist at a lower cost is virtually impossible.

The real entrance cost to becoming a host in airbnb is not airbnb, its having a house. And a host will use airbnb or whatever to keep the appartment occupied. It can absolutely be commoditized, much like Lyft and Uber have. A service that posts your apt in multiple websites would make that permanent.

Today they must own the demand side: i have never seen something become so popular with no little ads (particularly in argentina, it was incredible to see it going from 0 to ubiquitous in 2 years).

Nicely put.

This feels like yet another variant of the same confusion we see around web browsing, with people saying "oh, if you don't want a virus don't go to sketchy sites". Agreeing to receive HTML or even run unfamiliar Javascript in a browser shouldn't be equated with trusting that website to run anything outside the sandbox, and in a world where ads on major sites are frequently resold through a half-dozen shoddy networks it's an important distinction.

In the United States we require super majorities to amend the Constitution. 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the state legislatures.

Something as important as Brexit should require more than 50.1% to pass. But it was actually non-binding anyway so the government could just ignore it.
The other precedent is the ratification of the Maastricht treaty, where it was rejected by referendum in Denmark for example 50.7% vs 40.93% - so again very close - amended, and then passed - by a second referendum.

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

The failure by both Corbyn and May to acknowledge the need for a second referendum, imho, should raise the question of whether the UK is really a democracy any more.
I'm a bit torn on this - for a long while, I saw Google as trying to promote "the right way" of doing things, and only getting frustrated and doing it themselves after handset manufacturers and cell providers kept doing it wrong. I mean, was the original Nexus anything other than "look everyone, this is how it SHOULD be done, but we have no interest in actually being the ones to do it"?

That doesn't deny that Google has done a lot I'm not comfy with - but I feel like had these other players done the right thing and not refused to update OSes, if they had embraced open APIs, then Google wouldn't even have been tempted to do some of the particular evils the article discusses.

That's what is called 'sterile transit', and in many countries is still the case (and was broadly the case before 9/11).
Later on in the article they describe a revised solution that doesn't do that:

> Poettering came up with a scheme that alleviated most of the problems that were identified. He proposed that a "countme" flag simply be added to a single mirror-list query each week. The sum of all such queries over a week's time should provide an accurate estimate of the number of Fedora systems. That way, UUIDs need not be stored, which removes much of the concern—data that is not stored cannot be misused.
The point is that in the alternate scenario there wouldn't be half the establishment or more agitating to subvert the democratic will of the largest vote ever in British history, I guess..
In the UK the Civil Service used to perform this function. They would take the desires and direction of the the current Government and implement them. They used their skill to make them as most likely to succeed. This included cost, legislative timescales and their sole aim was to implement the desire of the leaders of that time.

This has been systematically dismantled and much of the responsibility now given to agencies. They don't necessarily share the same aims. Agencies are now major contributors to political parties and a dispassionate approach no longer exists.

A great quote - no one wants innovative bankers. The UK has made this a reality in the political sphere.

A new normal will emerge.

I m sure if the book is as described, it's going to be very popular with the HN crowd, however one has to wonder if what is claimed is true. If the ability to mold the behaviors of people has increased , then why were people spending a lot more in the 1920s for advertising than they are now[1]? Why did online ad spending surpass TV only in 2017, and TV advertising keeps rising as well[2]? If anything, the conclusion is that the effectiveness of ads has dropped , so publishers like google have to scrape the bottom of the behavioral barrel to make it through. Also, even for google, the bulk of advertising income is from search results, not from 'evil' behavioral tracking.
