> In fact it was. It was a simple vote between leaving and remaining, with the exact details of both options being left undefined. Certainly our remainer establishment would have wasted no time in interpreting a Remain vote as permission to rapidly speed up integration.

While the referendum was yes or no, the framing was radically different. The "leavers" ran on a platform of, essentially, we have a plan, the EU will co-operate and there will hundreds of millions of pounds of savings. Then, post-referendum, some of the leaders (including Boris) promptly resigned because they had no plan, others negotiated badly (and one could say, in bad faith), and it became clear there was not going to be millions of pounds in savings.

Parliament is sovereign over the executive and legislative branches of government. The prime minister is chosen by the monarch as the person deemed most likely to have majority support of parliament, granted powers with which to carry out the executive will of parliament.

The situation now is that the prime minister doesn't have majority support in parliament and is using powers like prorogation to act against the majority of parliament.

> I read a bit that claimed this was "normal" in the UK Parliament.

Short prorogations are normal in order to prepare for Queen's speeches. However, this one is unusually long, with a political context of preventing parliament from exercising their powers.

> But if we look back at history, there's plenty of empirical evidence that aggressive activism does work to advance its goals. Many of the protests against the Vietnam War were far more disruptive than anything we've seen from climate activists, and engendered a far more serious backlash--the point of National Guard soldiers shooting at college student protesters. But ultimately public sentiment did turn against the war.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. There's no evidence that the protests caused public sentiment to change, they simply coincide. It's equally (more?) likely that people's kids dying in droves changed their opinions, and many people credit the gruesome and explicit nightly news coverage of the war as turning public opinion.

UBI needs to be implemented before we think about this, because many many industries depends on automotive industry, if we don't sell more car, economy will collapse, and to protect people from it, alternative income solutions must be in place.
Many local groups use Facebook to organize/communicate though.

Via private groups: our local Atari group does and we similarly have one for regional vintage computer gatherings, my Church does, one of my Lodges does, one of my gyms does and I know of several others in the area that do.

Via pages/events: some local tattoo shops that regularly have events, several local venues, numerous gyms and their various strength competitions will have all communication/announcements through an event page associated with the page of the gym hosting the event, etc.

It's effective because people know to go check Facebook for an update about the group/event, you don't have to worry about an email ending up in a spam filter or someone not seeing a flyer posted, you can post real-time updates like when our meeting place for the local Atari group was closed due to the weather instead of needing to text 2 dozen people, or when snow/ice necessitates a Church event being cancelled or when there are storms in the area and we can post what members need help.
> the victory condition for any belief is to be so universally accepted that its negation can not be expressed in polite company.

This is a little bit terrifying to me. For me victory would be that the opposing view merely doesn't gain any traction when expressed, not that it can't be expressed - presumably due to social consequences. Any view that "wins" in this way doesn't deserve its victory - how do you know it's actually a good idea? Bad and good ideas alike can win in this way. Only good ideas are stable in the presence of the constant ability to question them.

Forgive me for doubting this.

It will lead to an internal crash in China, but this won't cause the whole world to crash. There will be a slowdown at worst. Taiwan and Vietnam will likely take up a lot of the slack.
> Part of this involves accepting that the EU has red lines that they won't shift on.

This is true. But accepting that means throwing all the promises of the referendum campaign out of the window and accepting that leaving the customs union means significant damage to the economy and that the EU will not allow them to leave free movement while remaining in the customs union.
Young people across Europe use lots of English words or even whole sentences. It tends to be a fad though, a way for young people to show off how trendy they are. Once my own peer group in Romania all reached their thirties and were no longer so interested in showing off, everyone generally dropped the English admixture and went back to speaking fairly “pure” Romanian.

Granted, Estonian may be in a different situation due to demographic factors.

> "Respect users data" means different, incompatible things to different people and in different circumstances.

I admit it was vague phrasing. All I mean by respect peoples' data is to recognize that people should own their own data. You should get explicit permission before collecting it, using it, selling it, etc. At any time it should be just as easy to remove the data as it was for you to collect it.

As for any data deletion, I think it makes sense to have a strong warning any time a company has files that the user themselves have uploaded. Perhaps even listing filenames and folders to remind users what's there.
What's the fastest way to scroll back through terminal history? Native scrolling doesn't appear to work and you have to annoyingly enter copy mode first?
Yes, it's legal to paint copies; it's selling them as real that's illegal (you don't need to make it obviously a copy). The artist claims he didn't pass them off as real, but that's his defense. He's been linked to forgeries before and the police obviously don't believe him.

There's a great episode of Nova from 1991 called "The Fine Art of Faking It" [0] where they not only follow the case of a man convicted of forging prints, but they track down the German farmer who painted a copy of a Matthias Gruenwald painting that ended up being presented as the real thing to the Cleveland Museum of Art (who paid a million dollars for it). He really did just paint a copy and artificially age it for a couple thousand dollars for a friend down the road; it only sold as real after several more sales for increasing amounts. The farmer was never accused of wrongdoing.

The best part: they pay him the same amount to do it again, and he does, on camera, demonstrating everything he did to make it look authentically 400 years old (besides being an almost perfect copy of a Northern Renaissance master's painting). For example, to add cracks to the painting, he takes the canvas off the frame and rubs it back and forth on the corner of a table, then rubs a thin wash of brown paint over the whole thing.

Repeating a referendum on the same question is logically inconsistent. What do you do if you get the opposite result, why not just repeat it again, 2-out-of-3, 3-out-of-5? In addition, it casts doubt on and makes a joke out of every other future referendum question.

On the other hand, elections are meant to be repeated.

From personal experience I think English speakers have troubles approaching synthetic languages in general because the English language is very analytic. I lurk in a few language-learning forums and I try to help anglophones learning French from time to time, they're often overwhelmed by the conjugations and to a lesser extent the grammatical genders which are omnipresent in French grammar.

On the other hand I've been studying Russian pretty intensely over the past year or so, so I can definitely empathize with the frustration of having to learn a complex case system.

I think the important thing is: it doesn't really matter if you get it completely right (or even mostly wrong). As long as you build simple sentences a native speaker will be able to figure out what you're trying to say. If somebody asks me "tu parlons anglais ?" it's definitely going to sound very wrong to me but I'll probably be able to figure out what you're attempting to communicate.

I think it's worth it to actually learn the declension/conjugation tables to familiarize yourself with them but you have to face the fact that you'll probably never learn to use them correctly just by memorizing rules. Eventually as you encounter them IRL you'll start to develop a feel for it.

I wonder if the average English speaker would be able to explain why they say "if I were you" and not "if I am you". Yet few get it wrong.

More generally I find that the main difficulty in learning languages is, by far, vocabulary. You can often get by with a surprisingly low amount of grammar if you understand what the words mean.

Ad-free Facebook would not be viable at its current (extreme) valuation. A honest business providing Facebook-like features would be viable if they don't have to pay back billions to investors.

Note that the product is shit because it's designed to waste your time ("engagement" and "growth" and all these bullshit words). The product would improve significantly if it was paid because then the incentive would be to deliver value to their users so they keep using the product & paying for it.

Why can't it just be included in your internet bill? If Facebook (or whatever paid alternative replaces it) becomes mainstream I can see ISPs just including it in their packages.

DNS Resolver Centrality
Some do, but not the majority (in the leadership or the party). And the party activists (even the leftwing ones) are overwhelmingly remain. That's one of the reasons the votes at the party conference yesterday were so interesting: it was simultaneously a vote on Brexit policy (where most of the members are more remain than the NEC position) and a vote of confidence in Jeremy Corbyn (where most of the members are more supportive than the NEC!)

It's not so much that Labour is finding it difficult to satisfy their supporters in different parts of the country (though that's a small sub-game), it's that MPs in leave seats fear that not leaving will turn over large chunks of the anti-system vote to the Brexit party.

Both Bolsover and Skinner are hardcore leavers, though, that much is true. That doesn't change that the Labour membership is overwhelmingly remain, Labour voters are majority remain, and the majority of the leave vote was in Conservative parts of the south, not Labour parts of the North.

> Light rail in Philly would be the green lines heading into west Philly

No, those are trolleys. Explicitly not light rail. You can't compare a trolley seriously to the trains we're calling "light rail" in LA and other cities.

'The basic concepts of light rail were put forward by H. Dean Quinby in 1962 in an article in Traffic Quarterly called "Major Urban Corridor Facilities: A New Concept". Quinby distinguished this new concept in rail transportation from historic streetcar or tram systems as:

having the capacity to carry more passengers
appearing like a train, with more than one car connected together'

Note that first and second qualifier for light rail, which a one-car trolley with capacity identical to a bus absolutely does not fit. Light rail has a specific meaning, and it's different from trolley/tram by design. If SEPTA or others are calling the trolleys light rail, they are misusing the term.

Additionally, as a counterexample to the issues in the article - the trolleys are taken more by the working poor than the more affluent in Philly.
> My problem is that they want to enforce this law worldwide

The point really is: how to protect or remedy against the privacy infringement felt by someone in France's jurisdiction? And what the EU Court is saying at point 72 is: EU law does not prohibit the French judge from finding that it is necessary to have a stringent measure, i.e. to order a search engine to really prevent infringement even if coming from outside the EU.

We live in a global, connected world. This goes both ways if you want effective protection of rights of individuals. The only concern here really is to protect an individual's right to have a bit of control over the information about themselves that are so easily made available by serach engines.

> Hypothetically, if EU law says their ruling applies worldwide and Google stops doing business in the EU, does that mean they would be exempted? Can they then show all results or does the EU still try to charge them with breaking their law?

The rules are different between the previous law and the GDPR. The GDPR will apply to a company which has no business in the EU, if the data processing activity relates to:

"(b) the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union."

Deletion of posts and comments is a thorny issue. Why does HN not allow deletion of individual comments? It seems like a perfectly valid use case - you don't want to delete your entire account, just a few comments that contain PII or or any other reason.

In fact, how do I delete my HN account at all? This isn't visible in the settings page, as far as I can tell.
A blanket is a blanket, sounds like you are talking about a duvet cover. I've never even seen a duvet or duvet cover in real life, they're not common in America (at least not in my part). In fact, I didn't even know duvet/duvet covers existed until I started this job because I occasionally see them being imported and had to look them up in a dictionary.

Usually a bed here is a blanket or comforter, then a top sheet, then a fitted sheet on the mattress. In hotels/motels you'll sometimes see a comforter AND a blanket with the two sheets.

(Based on photos of duvets) I think a comforter is somewhat like a thinner duvet with a non-removable cover.

As someone else said in this thread, when I heard 'blanket' and 'zipper' together the only thing that came to mind was a sleeping bag.

> I've found a knowledge of German to be quite helpful when trying to guess the meaning of a word (or to extemporaneously construct one) using a calque from German.

The same can be said of Hungarian. In spite of Hungarian being a Uralic language and utterly opaque to the neighbouring countries, so many of the verbal derivations (especially since the 19th-century language reform) are calques from German. I found it easier to memorize certain Hungarian verbal idioms by storing them mentally alongside their German models.
