Iiuc, they are basically using open core model, with core app being free/open/libre under Apache license, and extensions proprietary with code available non-free/non-open/non-libre Elastic license. At least to me the situation seems pretty clear, and Amazon complaining that they can't take all of the code to create a competing service seems pretty disingenious to me. OP's post is thus in line with what I would expect - but it seems to irk you in some way. What is it that I'm missing?
You've been downvoted, but this is the core issue preventing a simple solution.

It is legitimately damaging to democracy to have the results of a referendum ignored. That referendum shouldn't have been executed in the manner it was, but we can't ignore the outcome.

The problem is, the practical reality of that vote (as it has worked out) is pretty sketchy, and pleases very few people. So now we have the three immediate options of "no deal" (obviously catastrophic), "negotiated deal" (no political support) and "cancel" (directly opposed to the referendum outcome).

Honestly the only way I see out of it with even a shred of democracy left is to hold a second referendum to ratify the deal.

I don't know how that follows. I think it is perfectly conceivable that one could be vegan without this, just as many vegans have been for millennia.
Is a second referendum really that likely? I feel like the way they're treating it it's a 5% likelihood.

How to I learn to solve more coding challenges daily?
I'm solving challenges without looking up solutions from the internet. I use the official documentation and debugging methods for help. This method has been helpful because when I go back to solve the problem again, I can implement the code in other ways and apply some techniques to newer and more challenging problems. I used to struggle over a problem, copy the solution, understand the solution, then rewrite it 3-5 times. But I still had a hard time coding a solution up myself. Figuring out the problem without using someone's solution helped with gaps I had about learning to code earlier.

I'm using this method at a month long interview bootcamp, but the pace is slower with me. Is there a way for me to catch up with the class, while working on the problems the way I do right now?

I'm also asking this because I know that when I work in a company, there are time constraints. I'd like to figure out a way to code at the pace needed, but still learn what I need to learn without skimming over material.

Any advice is appreciated.

That's true and certainly the "global protocol" for lack of a better term on iOS is iMessage. Either using a phone # or email it doesn't matter, and they managed to get 95% of the people all talking to each other.

<Insert speculation about the total # of iMessage users being more than possibly either Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn>

That said, although people might be wary of the dominant messaging platform coming from the OS vendor, I don't see how Google can really connect everyone unless they are the ones who do it.

If only their messaging strategy was consistent - and not half assed, they might get somewhere.

No, what should have happened is a second plebiscite confirming the actual deal negotiated with the EU, with:

(1) Accept deal and exit,

(2) Exit with no deal,

(3) Rescind Article 50

As the options.

Or, the government should just not have used a non-binding referendum on such a complex policy matter as an electoral ploy in the first place and actually governed as elected to do rather than passing the buck.

> Right but what happens when you no longer inputting calories and thus no longer have high insulin? Then you start burning the fat again. You can only keep your insulin levels pathologically elevated if you are eating enough to support that over the long term, regardless of when you eat.

No, diabetics have an elevated insulin levels for hours after a meal. Like, after 4 hours it's still at the level a non-diabetic peaks at after 0.5-1 hour. Eating many meals will keep your insulin levels high all-day.

> Again, your body is very good at supplementing energy needs with fat when it needs to. Again there is no study showing meal time having any impact when calories are balanced, and several confirming the opposite.

Your body is very bad at burning fat in the presence of insulin. Meal time is only important as to not keep your insulin level elevated all the time.

> Your body adapts to a short term situation (a meal and the small post-prandial period) but in the long term (24 hour period) it makes zero difference.

If you are eating all the time, the short term situation becomes the long term situation, not barely on 24 hour periods but for years on end. This is especially true for diabetics and pre-diabetics, as their insulin level will lower way slower.

This is not to say you can't avoid the whole situation by lowering your calories BEFORE you become diabetic. It may actually be the best way, but the science is far from being set because it's such a complex problem.

> Yes but it's also reversible by, shockingly, increasing caloric demand.

It's reversible by either supplementing more food or allowing your body to access its own resources (low insulin!). Increasing caloric demand (exercise!) will help insofar as you're burning of sugar -> less insulin.

> To be very clear, the proof required for what you are suggesting is a study with a minimum of 2 groups eating the same exact meals but at different times, and being forced to finish the entire meal and experiencing different outcomes.

While I'm not a fan of isocaloric studys, this should work, yes. You would also have to factor in a lot of other parameters, like established insulin resistance (probably using Kraft-Patterns)

> This has never happened, and based on our current understanding of metabolism never will. Maybe it would change, but this would be a massive massive change in our understanding of how the human body deals with energy.

I'm genuinely interested as to what your understanding of insulins / glucagons effect on your body's ability to access fat is.
> How can fat elevate blood sugar levels?

Via gluconeogenesis, but it is, for sure, less effective than protein based gluconeogenesis.

> If you don't have elevated blood sugar from eating a bunch of carbs, what effect does insulin have?

You have elevated blood sugar from having an excess of calories. Dietary sugar is most rapidly converted to blood sugar, but all excess calories are eventually converted via gluconeogenesis.

> Does it cause blood sugar to go even lower?

Yes, and in extremes can cause death.

> On gluconeogenesis: I thought this was demand driven rather than supply driven. Insulin apparently is an inhibitor for this. So how does this work?

Gluconeogenesis first causes the breakdown of protein into available glucose. What the body does with it after that has a lot to do with the body's current energy demands. Insulin is an inhibitor for this, but insulin is also only elevated post-prandial, and most gluconeogenesis happens off schedule from eating (or at the very least after the initial insulin response).

The major error people make when trying to understand this stuff is to focus on too short of a time frame, in this case the very small period right after a meal is consumed, rather than something longer, like a 24 hour period. As soon as you zoom out to 24 hours a lot of these ideas stop making sense because your body has a large amount of resources dedicated to effectively regulating energy expenditure.
Finland's reputation is well deserved! My wife took part in an exchange visit there and spent a week in a Finnish classroom. They are more selective for teacher trainees than the US and UK, and their training program is more rigorous than the UK, but once completed, teachers are trusted as professionals and left to do their jobs without being micro managed. There was also a lot more focus on subjects outside reading, writing and maths and a lot less focus on testing.

Yes! People are each individuals. Just because the standard distribution of one group is slightly shifted one way or the other from the standard distribution of another group, doesn't allow you to say anything useful about the differences of individuals. Yes, there is a difference on average, but the overlap is way bigger than the difference.

I had fun building our wedding website without any JS just to see how much I could push the boundaries of CSS and HTML. That was fun and a good learning experience. I'll now be able to build better apps _with JS_ knowing where it makes sense to push CSS/HTML and where it makes sense to use JS.

I recommend any front end engineer to go through that exercise, but it is not a good solution for real production systems.

This is not simply about modals. Using VoiceOver and Chrome I cannot access the pop up menu to navigate the site. These CSS tricks are cool but they shouldn't be used in a production environment without basic usability testing.

More specifically, no you cannot add keyboard shortcuts "with 0 rework". How are you returning the users focus to the active element before they opened the modal? The key is not to use an "arbitrary JS library for modal popups" and to use or create a modal library that has superior usability baked in. Sure, maybe there's a superior workflow than to use a modal.

For anyone that is interested MicroModal (https://micromodal.now.sh/) ticked a lot of boxes last time I checked.
Yes it would. There are backup systems to keep things working even with both engines dry (ram air turbine etc). In fact, if you really want to stretch our a glide, all those automated systems are probably a good things. They will keep the aircraft more perfectly trimmed for a glide than the pilots ever could by hand.

It's funny because the last aggregator I remember (~2011-2012) using was Meebo - whose founders were eventually hired by Google. If there was a service they didn't support I couldn't tell you what it was.
It didn't use to be this way, to be sure. The darkest "shade" thrown even thirty years ago was child's play compared to today's vitriolic rhetoric.

I think it has to do with the polarisation (radicalisation?) that has come about because people have been grouping into their own echo-chambers. "The other guy" has moved from being a compatriot who they disagreed with to being an adversary to be conquered. See any political or news sub in /r/ as a principle example of this.

It's more about preventing a stall with a swept wing which is needed to achieve high mach numbers.

That said, an easy (but different) case to visualize is a traditional tailplane. The center of gravity on an airplane is in front of the wing so it wants to pitch down slowly. The tail pushes DOWN in the back to keep the nose up. Nose heavy planes are stable and forgiving but you induce drag because the wing needs to supply some lift just to counteract the tail which is producing negative lift. If you move the CG backward, you get less stability because the airplane wants to pitch up/down more violently with a control input but you have less negative lift from the tail.

What option do you think is more likely?

Any leave option has the Irish border question to sort (unless we remain in the customs union I suppose), which is pretty intractable, and already causing low-level violence to start up again in Ireland from what I hear.

And surely we won't choose to stay without a referendum.
Maybe it's because I can be 'long winded' and have put effort into curbing that habit, but I find that the 'uh/uhm/ehm/mmm' interjections can be removed from conversation as well. I have to put more effort into saying just enough to communicate an interesting idea and _stop there_. It mostly means thinking before I speak rather than as I speak... The latter pattern is what results in rambling on; thinking as you speak rather than before is sort of like speaking as you would write, but without the editing you would do next.

Part of that idea for conversing without 'uh/uhm' came from employee-to-employee advice I read somewhere about preparing memos for meetings with Jeff Bezos at Amazon. It was something along the lines of: have all your facts and answers ready but don't put everything in the memo; economize the information you put to paper down to what's essential, so he doesn't waste time reading more than he needs to and has questions to ask, but make sure you have the answers ready.

That same advice can be adapted to conversation. Figure out how to communicate one discrete idea, but don't try to answer every concern/question the listener might have before they ask about it, even if you have those answers ready or are thinking about them as you talk. Let the other person speak and engage with the idea, then answer the questions they do ask. If you come to an 'uh/uhm' point in your own words, the other person probably has a question/concern/thought already (and it might not be the one you're about to 'uhm' into).

You'd fall out of touch with collaborators in the field without checking emails. Who are these people who refuse to check emails, and what do they possibly do that gives them this privilege of avoiding the most basic and fundamental electronic communication? It seems just absurd to me.
> Medium decided it no longer wanted to support independent publications of curators and writers like us.

This is so misleading.

I run an independent publication, Better Humans, that is a little smaller than Hacker Noon. Our experience has been the exact opposite, which is that Medium came to us and dumped a pile of money on us to ramp up what we were doing.

The reality is that Medium has been directly making a move toward higher quality for two years. Publications that can make the switch are getting supported and publications that can't are getting pushed off.

There was a hugely successful group of aggregator-style publications that focused on aggregating articles without paying particular attention to quality. When you think of a publication off of Medium you often have editors reading each article, asking for revisions, making revisions themselves, doing copy edits. The aggregators, often just 1 or 2 people, were publishing 30 articles a day without doing any of that quality control.

It was an effective growth hack for how Medium was put together. And once these publications got popular enough, they became the go to place for authors to submit articles.

HackerNoon and the other pubs who followed this hack have had two years to adjust to Medium's pivot into a premium pay wall. Everything Medium's been talking about is about quality.

So the publications who are getting pushed out are the ones who wouldn't make the shift from quantity to quality. I wasn't a HackerNoon reader, but the reviews in this HackerNews thread about shallow clickbait are damning. That type of article is just wasting your reader's time and all readers should be excited about Medium withdrawing support for that type of publishing.

On the flip side, the economics of a publication that Medium does want to support are amazing. We get paid per page view and make more than most of our peers in traditional online media even though our costs don't include an ad-sales team, building distribution, or hosting. That leaves a lot of economic margin to do a deep story edit (often a couple of hours) and a copy edit.
It is in both parties interest to uphold the result of the referendum which was held in 2016, and which they pledged to implement in their election manifestos in 2017, because if new general election comes about, their constituents will remember their betrayal, and then it will be no surprise they will vote for somebody else.

May's deal is not what the people voted for, and so, the house of commons is full of lying politicians who will have exhausted their careers on the gamble that they could stop Brexit from happening.

> I mean, why would Theresa May not try and get a good deal

May has two contradictory goals. She doesn't want to really leave the EU - I think absolutely everything about her staff picks, negotiating non-strategy and Cabinet management supports that - but she's a genuine Tory loyalist who needs to maintain enough of a fig-leaf of Leaving that her party doesn't get utterly obliterated by irate voters at the next election. That's a tough needle to thread, and she's completely failed to thread it. She's achieved her first goal by abandoning her second.

> as if they want to leave without weighing up the pros and cons of both sides - their staunchness confuses me

I don't think "staunchness" is quite the word. They want to leave, and they don't see the WA as leaving. (Nor does the general population; I think the last poll showed only 12% thought the WA respected the referendum result.) The talking point being pushed hard by No 10 has been "don't make the perfect the enemy of the good", implying that the ERG etc are blocking the WA because they think, unrealistically, that they can get a harder exit by holding out. That may be true for some. But I think many genuinely do believe that the WA (effectively non-voting membership with no safeguards and no way out) is worse than staying in the EU (as a voting member with the option of going Article 50 again). Many have said so. Some observers may dismiss that as rhetorical, but I don't think it is.

The overwhelming majority seem to under-report these days. I can’t tell you how many conversations I’ve had that go like this:

—

Me: We’re having issues on our site, and we’ve narrowed it down to your service. Can you confirm that you’ve had a partial outage for the last three hours?

Them: Yes, about 25% of API calls are failing.

Me: Why is your status page green?

Them: Our team has decided it doesn’t warrant a status update.

—

When this happens, we tend to switch services providers fairly quickly. If you’re not going to be honest with us, we’re stuck wasting our time troubleshooting. We don’t care if you have occasional outages—it happens; that’s why we have fallback providers. But you need to tell us when you’re down.

tl;dr: Your status page is not an advertisement for your “amazing” uptime. It’s to make my life easier and save me time/money. Use it for its intended purpose.

I'd broadly agree with you. My crystal ball says a short interim delay to before the EU elections, because at the moment theres no plan to timetable for, with a longer delay for something else.

I think if there were a 2nd referendum, it would be remain, if only because all the old people that voted leave have died off. I don't think it would be by a satisfying large margin though.

That's if we get a referendum though. The Overton window has shifted so for over, MPs might just unite on a soft Brexit.
In conversation you also have the benefit of being able to effectively use body language to communicate the delay without resorting to “uhhhh” or other sounds that make people seem uncertain or dim.
