More than likely the dissolution of the United Kingdom. Scotland will have another referendum if we leave with no deal, and odds are they will vote yes this time. A hard border in Ireland will more than likely result in a vote for re-unification, and depending on how bad it goes for NI in a no deal scenario it's not unlikely for that to happen too.

In the short term we'll probably struggle with logistical issues, getting freight through the ports, shutting down motorways around Dover, etc. There will be more pain for people travelling to the EU, especially for those that do business there. Nothing apocalyptic there but definitely stuff we've not had to think about for decades. We'll end up falling in line with their regulation and things anyway I expect so I wouldn't expect to see any major trade deals with the US any time soon.

Politically even if the U.K. somehow stays together the Conservative party is going to end up bearing the blame for this. There is no real pathway to this being successful for those people that are hurting the most, they were lied to and even if they get what they think they want, they are going to pay the cost of that. How that shakes out is anyones guess, I wouldn't be surprised to see the country swing further to the right with the help of the tabloid press. Especially when we have to increase immigration from non-eu countries to bolster the people that leave, just within the NHS this is going to be required. Couple that with stagnant growth and a continuation of austerity there is going to be some real anger within the working class.

Essentially we're probably looking at another lost decade at least, a descent into darker and darker politics and finally when we're back to the original position when we entered the EU as the sick man of Europe we'll probably vote to rejoin.
Until everyone's cost of living goes up because they have an extra $1k/mo and landlords / retailers know it. The same thing happened with guaranteed student loans. When people have money to burn the market will react by increasing prices.
Very cool. I love this physical photo effects stuff.
That's true, but you appear to imply that it's fundamentally bad.

Not necessarily and a lot has been done to smooth the path - and lower the fees - for financial transactions. Mobile money in Africa (where you once, not that long ago, had to entrust an envelope with cash to a bus driver, hoping that it arrives at the intended destination) is a good example.

But I think that "helping the underbanked" is a smokescreen anyway.

Just like "Bringing internet to the poor", via internet.org, is a smokescreen for the underhanded tactic of smuggling zero routing into the very fabric of internet usage in poor countries and making Facebook (and their approved partners) == Internet.

There's never anything altruistic in whatever Facebook does. It's about accumulation of ever more power, money and data. And you just need to look at their short history for the proof in the pudding.
About the AGPL license, does it extend to programs compiled with Loko? The author seems to not want it to with the comment about the license not extending to user space. My understanding, however, is that would iff the programs used a library provided by the AGPL compiler. Hence why gcc has the linking exception.
Looking at elements loses sight of the system. The boats are there as part of a system driven by growth in GDP and population, externalizing costs, and related goals.

We can say it's not us tossing the bottle overboard, but buying things the boats transport supports the system.

Among the most important leverage points for changing a system are its goals and values. Changing from growth to enjoying what we have and from externalizing costs to taking responsibility and stewarding takes time and is not the only course of action, but are necessary.

If we avoid straws and stop there, the action doesn't add up. If we use avoiding straws as practice then to avoid bigger things, then yet bigger things, I see avoiding straws like playing scales to learn piano. Scales alone seem like nothing, but they're how you get to Carnegie Hall.

In my case, starting avoiding packaged food led to no flying which led to leadership roles with my podcast, my second TEDx talk on environmental leadership this weekend (my first: http://joshuaspodek.com/my-tedx-talk-is-online-find-your-del...), and many people now contacting me that they're changing and enjoying the process and results.

Because jettisoning junk improves our lives, we expect to continue.

Only action -- not talking, not reading, not writing, not debating, not analyzing -- only action on one's values brings that joy. If straws are someone's starting point, I support them. Then I support them to continue. I believe everyone should start and accelerate as much as possible in changing their behavior and values.

This is a great course about the financial crisis of 2008.

They walk through the similarities between the Irish bailout and the American bailout of their banks and then they walk through the differences and point out why the Irish bailout turned out soo poorly and why the American bailout was a great success.

The course is very approachable for even a novice in monetary theory.
Unleashing the Power of Blockchain in the Enterprise
We know exactly what happens because it’s actually defined in treaties, specifically WTO rules will apply. The UK is a full member of WTO independently of the EU. It’s important to remember that “the deal” isn’t a thing that was mentioned on the pamphlet that went through everyone’s door before the referendum. That just said that the government will implement whatever the people vote for (which was to leave). It’s entirely something the necessity of which was made up after the fact, as a face-saving measure by a political class that badly misjudged the national mood.

It is obvious to anyone who has ever negotiated for anything, ever, that no deal is better than a bad deal. Ask yourself why Remainers are so keen to take that option off the table and keep asking for extensions indefinitely.
Exactly, it's a failure for now, but apple now owns the intellectual property to that forever. If anybody ever finds a better way to use it, they own it and can jump on the opportunity. That's why when you are a company like apple with mountains of cash, you can feel good about investing money developing fancy aspirational things, even if they don't pan out immediately.

> When employees in Germany exercise options, they have to pay income tax on the difference between the fair market value and the strike price, and that rate runs from 14% to 47.5%. They also have to pay a 25% capital-gains tax on additional profits when they sell their shares.

Why is paying people for their work not enough? If I want to plant crop A where people are otherwise growing crop B, and I agree to pay person Y Z dollars to tend my fields, why would I need to give person Y some of the crop they tended?

I can see agreeing to give Y some of the crop if they agree to make some kind of sacrifice(Z-n dollars ), but why would they automatically or necessarily get some as a basis of the arrangement? Will they bail me out if the entire thing is a bust, I pay them Z dollars and my crop A is worthless?

Obviously you can't give all Alzheimer's patients your experimental drug/treatment that isn't even shown to work yet. That would not make any sense, and would not in fact be ethical.

So, yeah, that is how controls work, generally. If there is some other standardly accepted treatment for Alzheimer's already, it might be unethical to _refrain_ from giving that, perhaps the control would be given that too. But it's not unethical not to give someone the treatment that you don't even know if it works yet.

Usually. As a general principle. These are certainly interesting things to talk about in the field of medical ethics, and you can find lots of discussion of them in article and such, it's not always totally straightforward or universally agreed upon and of course medical researchers do unethical things all the time.

But simply having a control group that does not get the treatment you are researching is not by itself considered unethical. Which seems to be what you are suggesting. Remember that you don't know if the experimental treatment works at all, that's why it's being studied -- it may even make the condition _worse_, or have negative side effects.

And yes, having a control group is normal procedure. And that's what a control group is, starting off in the same place as the experimental group, but not receiving the experimental treatment, with other conditions being normalized the same. If the control group is 'double blinded', then neither the subjects nor the research staff know if a given subject is receiving the experimental treatment or control.
> Manufacturing agreements with Asia and the Americas are in place,

What is a "Manufacturing agreements" and how does it replace the single market framework?
Interesting that you say that, lets look at Poland. They saw a decrease in skilled workers and young who moved around the EU for better opertunities. This saw many parts of Poland become ghost towns. This got to a head and the goverment in Poland got to the point that they introduced a new TAX system. One comparable to USA TAX for nationals in that it didn't matter what part of the World you lived in or earned your money, you as a national would now pay tax. This saw many return home and Poland is now in many parts a growing area of opertunity, many who left initialy returned to a country much more robust, things had improved and with that, they happily returned and for them - life is now much better than the opportunities that saw them be tempted to leave in the first place. This with other initiatives like scrapping income tax for young, to give them a kickstart and remove the easy temptation to get skilled up and then leave, have made a big difference. Though the aspect of having to pay tax twice upon income, really did drive things home in many ways overall from those I know.

This is based upon many fine Polish nationals I've had the pleasure to know over my years and keeping up with current events.
I don't understand this notion. The training is exactly to make people just respond with how they were trained, automatically. This is also how the military works. Since you just do it, you aren't as likely to ponder what will happen to the human in the cross hairs. These thoughts come afterwards.

> Not sure we should assume that the entire network between the browser and cloudflare is untrusted though.

There's a strong case to be made that the vast majority of Chrome users aren't equipped to evaluate this question. These users are very unlikely to know if they're on an untrusted network and thus unable to make use of the kind of very useful switch you wisely suggest.

Perhaps offering a configuration option for the small percentage of technically sophisticated users who are willing to look in settings for it? Certainly Chrome Enterprise (which is a configuration management system, not a pay-for enterprise software offering) offers strong settings management tools.

Strictly from a security perspective, you always assume your network is untrusted and untrustworthy (and use protocols designed to work just fine in such situations). Especially when serving users who aren't equipped to make their own educated decisions. Can you help me understand why Chrome might want to behave otherwise?

No need for the scare quotes. Placebos work; they're statistically significantly above "no action taken".

Co-ops can theoretically access capital through debt, which does not require trading equity for cash. This is how republican governments like the U.S. (which are cooperative enterprises) finance capital-intensive projects, for example.

That said, debt financing is typically harder and scarier than equity for start-ups.

Most people don't move to a country like Bulgaria just for a job. It's fine when you're 2X years old, can work remotely and have time to get into the culture, language, &c. As soon as you have a serious gf/bf or a family you can forget it. One of my colleague is Bulgarian, he moved to Germany because of corruption, lack of quality school, lack of good paying jobs, and that was in Sofia, not some random small town.

There is a reason why it's cheap and everyone is leaving. Also, people underestimate the personal cost of moving to completely culturally different country, you'll never feel at home there unless you live in some kind of gated community or expat district.
That’s an insane salary for Eastern Europe. I worked with people in the Balkans who grossed that much a year.
With competition it is a red queen's race unfortunately. It is natural in an emergent sense even though the circumstances are synthetic. If they don't someone else will and even if they held existing jobs sancrosanct they will be displaced by a new party who doesn't have existing jobs to protect.

Somewhat related question: Does anyone know when the fixes for CVE-2019-11927 will be released for iOS? The advisory[0] says:

>This issue affects WhatsApp for iOS before version v2.19.100 and WhatsApp for Android before version 2.19.243.

But the latest version I see on the App Store is 2.19.92 (iPhone S3, iOS 13). The AppStore website says the same[1].

The Android version[2] seems updated (2.19.271)

Safety? I'm quite sure Singapore is a much safer country than Germany. The US, not so much...

But if you've already moved to Singapore and you want to live in a safe country when you're older, it would make no sense to leave Singapore, unless maybe you're moving to Japan. Western Europe is of course generally safer than America (very little gun violence, after all), but Singapore is one of the safest places on the planet. Just don't walk on the grass.

You do have to have a limited company, but no one forces you to pass the earnings as a salary subject to payroll. You can simply take the earnings out as dividend, but then you would be taxed twice on those earnings. So there is tax incentive to pay yourself a salary and not to report any company profit at the year's end, but it is not compulsory.
My understanding is you can get Irish citizenship if you have Irish grandparents. I'd expect that to be the same and for the Scottish government to offer citizenship to current residents.

As I mentioned latency is indeed an issue, but I don't think it matter that much. Your pixel will be offset by the movement during this 50ms (probably more) which will be a typically a few centimeters, so edges will get a little blurry but I'm not a light painter expert.

If it is really a problem, assume pose velocity from the previous frame positions and correct for latency and turn off the screen if acceleration sensor is greater than a value.
Blazor has been split into two versions, there is a server side and a client side version, both that share the same component model. The server side version went GA a last week with .Net core 3.0, the client side is looking like it will GA in April 2020. The reason given is that their not happy with the size of the payloads required for now, the aim to have everything compiled to webAssembly by then, not just the mono runtime that's running as an IL interpreter at the moment.

The server side version is interesting, it ships DOM updates to the client from the server over a websocket (musch like OOUI https://github.com/praeclarum/Ooui). Not something that I'd use for production, but for quick internal projects which have the feel of a client side SPA, but while not requiring you to build the API layer it's quite neat.
