Freedom of movement of people between Ireland and the UK is covered by the CTA. That won't change come March 31st.

Freedom of goods, services, and capital however would. The Norway Sweden border does not allow freedom of movement of goods. That's a major problem in Ireland, as you can't inspect goods passing between the north and the rest like you can between Norway and Sweden.

So why bother with a border at all?

The WTO say you have to secure your border to be a member. Imagine the UK charging high tarrifs on imports of Japanese cars. That's fine, Japan charges tarrifs on UK microwaves (or whatever).

So the UK simply moves its goods over the border to Ireland and sells them using the EU tarrifs. Japan gets pissed, and the WTO interceeds.

A cheese factory in Newry buys milk from a farm in Castleblayney (who's cows roam both sides of the border) and a farm Middletown. It then sells its cheese to a pie factory in Dundalk and a wholesaler in Omagh. The former make cheese and onion pies (onions from Coleraine), and sells them to shops in Belfast and Dublin, the latter simply packages them up and ships them to supermarkets in Galway and Lisburn.

That's a nightmare when there's a customs border between the north and south, even if it's a magical invisible one.
Enjoyed the article, thanks for sharing and your transparency
Actually it kind of is. The majority don't want it. People got tricked into voting for it (heck no one knew what they were voting for). A slim majority hold everyone hostage by saying will of the people, everyone who voted knew they were voting for no deal. Lot's of deception and big money on the leave side with possible Russian troll bots trolling away on facebook riling up English pride etc.

A major change like that should not have been decided by a slim majority. Normally changes in parliament that are big require some super majority. It was a dubious narrow win, and according to polls the old people who voted leave are dead and it's a clear majority to remain.

You got a small group of hardliners in the majority government holding them hostage. The government who lost most of their seats in the vote after the referendum (kind of showing that people didn't really want it) but only held on due to a sneaky pairing up with a small Irish party called the DUP.

No one wants the deal offered, no one (but a few hardliners) wants no deal. Most want to remain but it's being forced on us because "will of the people". It's madness.
RAID is not a backup strategy.

I've lost data with the Intel onboard raid, several times, so I refused to use the Intel raid implementations; if you are going to utilize RAID, I've learned the hard way to pay for a proper RAID card and cage (or use the tried and true software raid setups).

If you loose the RAID array, take a break before you start fixing it. A client had their subversion repositories with over a decade of work on a Windows server, depending on a RAID setup. It fell down and turns out they didn't have any good backups. The IT guy tried to fix it and nuked the super block and did who knows what else.

They ended up packing up and sending the entire server to some firm that specialized in data recovery and spending a small fortune.

> The window of allowable discourse in the US doesn't reach as far left as the center of Canada.

> Most Canadians steadfastly believe in health care for all, and they'll defend that.

Setting up a Canada-style single payer health care system is well within the window of allowable discourse in the USA.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_National_Healt...

The Obamacare reforms brought us about 3/4 of the way to a German-style multiple-payer universal health care system, and those were widely supported as well (enough to be passed into law!). A majority of Americans consistently support at least some type of health care reform that approaches universal coverage: https://www.kff.org/health-reform/poll-finding/kff-health-tr...

> In Europe, in many cases, the farthest right parties aren't even as far right as the Democrats in the US. Standard government policies are complete heresy to discourse in the US.

The last presidential campaign included a debate between the Democratic candidates where both candidates effusively praised the policies of Denmark, which one candidate identified as “socialist”. The Prime Minister of Denmark replied, “Denmark is a market economy”. https://www.thelocal.dk/20151101/danish-pm-in-us-denmark-is-...

> It's not a generalization, the window of allowable discourse does not encompass much of the spectrum in the US.

Bullshit. Half of the country is falling over itself trying to turn the US into a replica of Europe or Canada.

If anything, it’s the opposite—only in the United States is a full, wide spectrum of allowable discourse present. Not only can you find lots of Americans who support virtually any policy commonplace in Europe, but you can find many more who hold views unthinkable or at least unsayable in Europe.

> A simple idea often needs a lot of hard work that no one understands until they try it themselves.

This is so true. I become more and more impressed by people who can release _anything_ half decent by themselves. There is so much involved in all the little details, and each of those takes time to develop. Even just trying to provide a nice generic UX experience takes thought and effort. e.g. does pressing enter take the default action, how do I utilize screen real estate to not be cluttered but convey information adequately to new users, how to design multi-user logins for accounts, etc. Lots of skillsets to either have or develop. There are all good ways of doing them, but takes some foresight and insight about how your future users are going to use the product and to look beyond your own assumptions and knowledge of how the system works.

But it is so liberating and you can learn so much more by doing it than by living the unexamined life.
Me too, I was working in Docklands when there was the bombing [1]. First time I ever saw an armed policeman in a mainland UK street. Forget pistol, they were wielding MP5s.

> threat of the IRA differently to the threat of Islamist terrorism

Fully agree. The overreaction has been extreme. I don't understand why the political reaction hasn't been more like it was.

Yeah, I've got a Ceph cluster in my homelab that tops out about 80mb/s and it's pretty darn painful compared to a 2/3 disk mirrored ZFS on spinning rust.
It’s the only OS on my primary laptop and desktop machine now! Everything feels well-engineered and mostly very consistent. Compared to Linux and FreeBSD, stuff like suspend/resume, brightness/volume hotkeys, etc. not only work, but work on the console and with a plain window manager (no desktop environment). The classic example is how Wi-Fi, even autojoining (as of recently), works without the mess of ifconfig+wpa_supplicant+NetworkManager. OpenBSD’s ifconfig supports all this without wrappers upon wrappers.

It’s still a very niche market, though, so you have to stick to relatively well-tested technologies to avoid running into inconsistencies and issues.
A particularly tricky task with GNU make is automatically adding target dependencies on header files and handling updates to them (gcc's -M and -MMD switches). It would be great if the article explained those best practices, too.

> you might not find this sufficient cause to confront him or cut him out of your life, but you would probably be a little more careful where you leave your wallet when he's around

This strikes me as socially unhealthy behavior. In the case described, one of two things is true:
1) The accusers are right, and your friend is a theif. You've implyed that if this were the case, you would confront them and/or cut ties with them (which is reasonable).

2) Your friend is being falsely accused of a serious crime by several people. In this case, he needs your support and trust more than ever.

In neither case is continuing to hang around him as normal, with added caution against his potential theivery, a useful behavior. If he is a theif then you continue to associate with a theif and to put youself at risk of theivery, albeit with some reduced risk on account of increased caution. If he is not a theif, then it's likely that your guarded actions and internal scepticism will be picked up on, and that your friend will notice that you doubt his innocence, which may well hurt your friendship.

That all said, I agree that "guilty until proven innocent" doesn't apply in the scenario that you described. This is because there is "trial". You assume innocence while trying to uncover the truth. So in your scenario, you would assume that your friend is innocent and investigate the wallet disappearances, question the accusers and accused, track down addition witnesses and character witnesses, before finally passing your personal judgement. From there you can confront/cut out the theif, or sympathise and emotionally support the falsely accused.
This seems pretty reasonable to me, although perhaps they named the switch poorly. My guess is that the product manager is trying to provide a single simple "privacy fiend" setting.

You apparently want fine-grained privacy controls ("save my personal locations, but not my search history"). It's reasonable to want that, but it seems awfully entitled (not you, but many others on this thread) to demand it. Especially since we've seen from past history that a multitude of fine-grained privacy controls tends to propagate the narrative "Evil corporation confuses users with complex privacy UI".

Product management is way harder than you are giving it credit for.
Yes this is a huge issue. The solution really is to make safe ladder-climbing more convenient and inexpensive, so that people can and will choose to use it.

I do not do work-at-height, but my (unoriginal) proposal for a simple solution is to run a steel cable from bottom to top, anchored at both ends. This is cheap and low maintenance. Then a worker can bring their own cable-grabbing fall arrestor with a progressive-tear lanyard. Attach yourself to the cable at one end of the ladder, and climb up/down as you would normally until you reach the other end.
Anyone that has messed with a Raspberry Pi will tell you that you don't want to hang the hopes of humanity being rebooted on a consumer-grade SD card. And since I'm nit-picking, any scenario necessitating the rebooting of civilization might very well involve something that fries SD cards and takes the silicon in your solar panel with it (nukes, big solar flare thingy).

You are confusing that with money that was originally allocated by the Pentagon, not S.3274

>And that's assuming this money was allowed to be used as direct subsidy to non-government news outlets.

That is not an assumption, that is what the text of the bill explicitly states:

>There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of State for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 $20,000,000 to support the Center and provide grants or contracts of financial support to civil society groups, journalists, nongovernmental organizations, federally funded research and development centers, private companies, or academic institutions for the following purposes:
17 (A) To support local independent media
18 who are best placed to refute foreign
19 disinformation and manipulation in their own
20 communities.
21 (B) To collect and store examples in print,
22 online, and social media, disinformation, misin23
formation, and propaganda directed at the
24 United States and its allies and partners.

1 (C) To analyze tactics, techniques, and
2 procedures of foreign government information
3 warfare with respect to disinformation, misin4
formation, and propaganda.
5 (D) To support efforts by the Center to
6 counter efforts by foreign governments to use
7 disinformation, misinformation, and propa8
ganda to influence the policies and social and
9 political stability of the United States and
10 United States allies and partners.

It specifically specifies nongovernmental and private organizations in the text of the bill. And it's coincidental that these organizations just started laying off employees in bulk at the start of 2019.

That's definitely the thing that I miss most.

It's not just the social interaction but the feeling of growing together. I like working on a team because we're all learning from each other.

It's just not the same with freelancers. When everyone's a full-time employee, there's a permanence to that, and it encourages everyone to invest in each other and invest in the team. With most freelancers, they could quit at any time, so there's less incentive to take time to teach them. And the power dynamics are weirder so it's much harder for freelancers to tell me I'm doing something stupid, whereas peers or people senior to me felt much more comfortable doing that when I was an employee.

WebAssembly Troubles Part 2: Why Do We Need the Relooper Algorithm, Again?
The _effecitve_ marginal tax rate for the poor can be much higher than it is for the rich.

> the effective marginal tax rate when a person moves from the bottom to the middle quintile is 1 - (15.4-12.9)/(12.6-2.2), or 76 percent.

http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2018/06/an-effective-marginal...

If you believe in basic economic concepts like: 1) people react to incentives, 2) diminishing marginal utility of income, or that 3) perceived fairness is important for the functioning of the society, you should look at the effective marginal tax levels in different income categories and at least even it out and maybe add more to the richest.

Another way to increase taxes and level the playing field would be to remove loopholes in taxation with sweeping taxing reform. Combined with higher marginal tax rate for very high income individuals, Warren's proposal would probably generate even more income than $2.75 trillion over decade.

Almost all economists agree, that the best way to tax the rich is taxing the land and property. All taxation has some negative effects but property tax has least harm and would be net positive. From this perspective Sanders has the best proposal, but Warren's is also good.

Vice was cheap to run, for a time. It started as a niche magazine in Quebec and expanded into yellow journalism with cheap to make, but provocative, YouTube documentaries.

Then it was acquired and it pivoted sharply into being a media and news portal, with a presence on nigh every platform. The content quickly expanded in quantity, and critically overloaded itself in trying to dominate online discussion in every space.
