I didn't portray it as 'having no downsides'.

Every trade deal / national-merger has upsides and downsides.

The challenge is to see them clearly.

There is quite a lot of scary rhetoric about 'trade failure' about Brexit that is frankly politicized, because outside of some temporary disruption, trade will go on. Caveats - yes. Failure - no.

Moroever, nobody seems to look at longstanding deals that work at least in some ways, particularly NAFTA/USMCA.

In particular, I find it really problematic that the notion of sovereignty is portrayed as 'xenophobic' in the case of Brexit, but 'idealized' in the case of Scottish indyref. And of course more theoretically, the notion of 'Canada joining the USA' (which is not as outrageous at it seems, it almost happened a few times only a few generations ago!) - would be find stupendous outrage among Canadians. Not known for their over nationalism, Canadians would give you a serious earful about that ... and nobody would bat an eye or think there's something wrong with it. The UK is not Scotland and is not Canada, of course, but the hyperbole about the issue is unwarranted.

Underneath the outrage again, lays bare the fact that the EU is mostly a 'really good economic deal' whereas the rest of it is fuzzy.

Perhaps the most 'personally impactful issue' - movement - could easily be achieved with a simple work program. NAFTA/USMCA allows anyone with specific accreditation to work across the border for 6 years with a stamp at the border - easy peasy. Something along those lines could have been achievable by the EEC without having to go full EU. I'm not saying it's ideal, or even one way is better than the other, rather, that the issue is overly politicized in the press, and the EU-specific union is too oft presented as 'the only solution' , when really, it's not. There are other ways.

In fact, given a post COVID world, and that we now have true real-time digitization ... it may be possible to even move away from the Euro and go to 'National Euros' - basically to give back the power of monetary policy to individual nations (which is a huge constraint right now, probably the #1 problem that even pro-EU nations have) while at the same time achieving a pan-European financial policy. This would be one example of a truly modern approach to currency, but it can't happen if 1/2 of the political forces are pushing for integrated political union.

Similarly, two (unrelated) smart people told me, isn't it cool that we can see the earth's shadow on the moon.

There were no eclipses: the moon was just not full.

I wonder how they arrived at this conclusion.

Is this a strange coincidence or is this a common mistake?

A) We are engaging, currently, in a number of asymmetric (read: guerilla) wars right now, with an unfathomable level of success - see Afghanistan, Iraq et al. We have learned a lot and gotten a lot better at things since Vietnam (not to mention, we train on American soil, so the guerilla advantage is more or less lost, there).

B) That's exactly what I'm saying! It's the optics and the structure of political ownership that prevents such a civil war, not deterrence, as the second amendment was designed to implement.
The comment attempted to equate current day UK, with that of the soviet union.

I would absolutely call an attempt to equate those two things as "disgustingly misleading".

I sometimes do something essentially the same as your former friend because I think the person with the problem probably wants to be treated like a normal person to feel as normal as possible instead of as a charity pity case. And to take their mind off of their completely obvious problems of the moment. IE, "I know my leg is cut off, we don't need to go over it and over it ..." I figure everyone in the world is smothering them with that so I will not do that.

However, I know that is a gamble and had I judged that wrong, and someone said "Hello can it be about me today instead of about you? just today? My leg... is gone... I'm not over it." I would NOT be hanging up and never call again.

I might possibly if the way you said it didn't clue me in why you were saying it. If I felt you really didn't want to hear from me at a time like that, then I'd be gone. gone. I thought I would be there for someone when the chips were down and they apparently do not value that from me. What a dumbass I've been.

I started this comment with the intention to say essentially "If you were worried at all that you did something wrong, don't." because even if there had been that initial mis-reading of intentions, that doesn't explain disappearing, so it's squarely on them.

But right at the end there while actuallly writing this, I realized there is a responsibility for communication on everyone's part. I realized there is a plausible sequence of events where I had good intentions and you had good intentions and I had reasonable reactions and you had reasonable reactions and still we both came away thinking the other person is not great.

So now I no longer know if I have a point. Well these worthless thoughts were free at least. :)

Thank you for sharing this.

I hit 40 this year and soon understood a quote by Allison (Ally Sheedy) in “The Breakfast Club:”

“When you grow up, your heart dies.”

I’m desperately trying to find a certain... soul that existed in my younger days. I want to explore, yet my mind tells me I’m supposed to know these things already as an adult.
Soap-boxing? I'm pleading.

Its like when I went for a broken tooth... The dentist insisted on a panoramic xray of my head/jaw... Then he came back and said: yep you have a broken/chipped tooth... And the funny thing is that he protected my chest from the xray with a lead cover but not my brain... And the tooth broke because it was repaired from a previous cavity
Thanks for the good refs!
It's completely fair to blame Cameron because he absolutely bungled the process.

If they had come out with a clear outline of what was to be expected, then things would be different. There were all kinds of different narratives such as how it would be the 'easiest [deal] in human history'. Not to mention how poorly everything was formulated.

The referendum should've been a lot clearer in it's goals and limits. It's not a joke, it's not possible to be brash with such things because you can't redo it because then it becomes a matter of just redoing things until the party in power gets what they want. Cameron didn't take it seriously because he was so confident that it wouldn't come to pass.

In some ways, I am genuinely not surprised that Brexit happened when you have a large coalition of people that wanted hard brexit, people that thought it would be over and done with in one night, people that bought into the lies of british politicians about the EU because it's a convenient scapegoat.

If the options outlined were May's plan, no-deal or staying in the EU, things would've been very different.

Goddamn David Cameron.
If you've written anything in x86 assembly before and at least know how raycasting works 5 days actually seems like a pretty reasonable timeline. I imagine that a lot of that was trimming the raycast algorithm as much as possible. For instance, normally you do a fish-eye effect correction but that's clearly been skipped here.

As to how people come up with these ideas? It's kinda just like any hobby project, you just have an itch to try something, mull it over for a bit, and then decide to do it. Some people juggle geese...
I think it’s funny that people expect this will translate to a better standard of care. Low wage foreign workers are just a consequence of what happens when politicians undermine public health services. They’ll (at best) just be replaced by low wage, undertrained domestic workers, just as liable to make the same mistakes. Railing at the symptoms of austerity politics does little to cure the disease.
Another way of saying it is that if a paper/technique is badly missing some interesting ethical implication, that's a great invitation for someone else to publish and set us all straight.
Maybe they just looked it up?
It boils down to the euro stability and how the ECB related to local banks, you need all the participating countries to have tightly managed economies within a narrow set of parameters to maintain the currency, which is why the EU is much more vulnerable to a single state crisis than the USA

> If an organisation has the money to spend on doing ISO or something else, it should put the money towards someone who actually has some good skills and knowledge in security and can advise them.

These certifications are all about shifting blame and minimizing liability. They come up with these stupid standards that do nothing, certify their own compliance and then when they get owned they say "don't look at us we followed established best practice".

They don't actually care about actual security. To anyone who actually cares, the right way to do things will be painfully obvious. Instead we get people who scrutinize the standards in order to find the easiest, cheapest way to fulfill the requirements. Backup? Just copy the MySQL directory! Hashes? MD5 will do. Why encrypt data at all if it's only being transmitted on a local network? And so on...

There are legitimate concerns about the usability of secure medical software but I don't think that excuses some of the absurdities I've seen...

Ask HN: What do you think of a 4 hour work day?
There is research / case studies showing that most people don't work a full 8 hours a day, that staying focused so long is next to impossible every single day, and that a shorter workday can increase productivity [0] [1]. With that in mind, what do you think of companies that offer such a work day? You could also do 5 hours a day for 4 days, but I think you'd gain more efficiency from an extra day rather than one extra hour a day, when after 4 hours can be tiring already.

A very small majority. It seems crazy to make such a massive change when nearly half the voting population is against it. If the threshold had been 70% or something, that might make more sense.
> Labour would have probably stopped Brexit and people could have voted for them, but they did not.

Except that Labour did not campaign on stopping Brexit; quite the opposite. Corbyn (who, depending on who you ask, is possibly a bigger Euroskeptic than David Cameron ever was) pointedly did not position Labour's election stance as being anti-Brexit. That was up to the LibDems who, in a FPTP system, were not going to win anyway largely because everyone still hates them over the college fees reversal.

Corbyn's Labour party always insisted that it would negotiate the "best possible Brexit," one that was more or less a "soft Brexit" but, just like the Tories, still a Brexit with all that entails. People were pleading with Corbyn to do exactly as you described and make the GE a mini-referendum on Brexit by Labour campaigning to reject Brexit...but Corbyn didn't.

It seems as if you’re assuming some sort of structural break somewhere between very simple neural nets and more complex ones, which is basically begging the question.
TripleByte, what a scummy company, there have been other controversies about them in the past too that the founders had to step in and say, whoa, we're not as scummy as you think.

But I can't blame them, the pressure of growth always incentivizes people to do what they need to grow.
Interestingly, no. The username part of every tweet url is ignored.
A rather simple improvement would be to have all the lights flash their binary encoded position for the calibration step. You go down from calibration time O(n) to O(ln(n)). Using red/blue would be better than using on off for this since you can get a more accurate position read by averaging ln(n) shots for the location of a light.

I believe something similar is used by some projection mapping software.
Jepsen does great work, and the writeups produced by kyle are basically gospel, but this is a weird kind of FUD to spread.

Jepsen has tested lots of databases that get things wrong in production and people still use those, no need to rain on the parade for this project. It's looking to compete with redis, whose base features are relatively simple, with majority of people probably using it as a simple cache.

Yeah maybe don't deploy it to your highest priority intensely complex production service that was using all of redis's advanced features immediately, but not trying it at all just because it hasn't been audited is ludicrous.

Madeline Miller's book Circe touches on the same themes for parts of it. It was a very good read. I haven't read Song of Achilles yet.
What you described above is applicable today in most US states. Anybody can make a false allegation of domestic violence (DV) against their partner, and the police have to arrest somebody. Of course, it's usually the man that's arrested.

Apparently a lot of divorce lawyers ask their female clients, "Are you sure he didn't do this or that?", and Calif. family courts are sending out blank forms to solicit DV complaints.
Much better than movies or shows on the subject is Herbert Simon's work on Administrative Behavior. Unlike David Simon's work it gives people a way to think about problems and approaches to problems where their skills, resources, rationality aren't enough - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_A._Simon
Yeah, a friend referred me in July 2018. They have emailed me every two month since then. The subject line of their current email template says "[My friend] thinks you’ll pass Triplebyte’s coding quiz" and the email starts with "[My friend] is using Triplebyte and suggested we contact you".
Thank you that's my point better put. Unless they uncover a hidden pool of Downs cases (unlikely) this was an increase in false positives leading to an increase in amniocentesis leading to an increase (1/300) of preventable foetal deaths. I think.
Read up on Pieter Levels. He has a shitty PHP app, by his own admission, that makes around 1 million a year, NomadList. It's about whether you can solve people's problems, not what the tech stack looks like.

There are also no code tools like WebFlow, Bubble, etc, and you can also learn more frontend by doing more sample projects.

Sure: First, throw away the narrow conception of what you think a trade union is.

A trade union is simply an organization of workers to achieve a shared goal. That’s it.

For many trade associations, safety standards is a big one, and it becomes more important as the trade is more skilled.

So for instance, it’s the AMA that promoted the standards of medicine over the century and a half and lobbied to prevent quacks from practicing as “medical doctors”.

Do you believe the fragmented and haphazard standards in software today and management’s race to the bottom is beneficial to consumers or to society?

And how did that work out for the UK? The UK opened up their procurement to anywhere in the EU, but the EU found ways to avoid offering service contracts to UK companies. National operators from the EU run most of the UK's trains, while the UK's government gets blocked from even running its own, yet alone anyone else's. Countries with manufacturing economies and a... relaxed attitude to actually following the rules benefited; countries with service economies and a strong sense of fair play lost out.
In elementary school we used some software that thought teaching, but IIRC it was for some special program and it also was mostly for fun (we had access to LogoWriter and some other software). We quickly figured out you could type nonsense, delete it, then type out the required text and the software would measure ~350 wpm. Learned nothing else. : )

I took typing as an elective one semester in high school because I couldn’t stand hunt and pecking when I was trying to get things done. We’d get done early and just type out lyrics to House of the Rising Sun. We’d also replace homonyms or type nonsense lyrics. A few years later internet chat rooms were big and I’d be in half a dozen of them plus various private chats. My wpm ended up being such that people who saw me in real life would notice the speed. Easily over 100 wpm (not 350 though!).

These days I very quickly adapt to macros, function keys, and remappings. I type nearly as fast as I can think of the words. I thumb-type on the phone noticeably fast (lead singer of a bar band called me out on my speed one NYE). And I memorize my passwords physically. I lay that all at learning to touch type in the first place.
Zapier is what you'd use for automation. You could use something like Prospecting Toolkit for scraping leads and sending email campaigns. What tools exactly do you need?
My current APs are old and I got fiber recently so I am looking for cheap AX APs if they are worth the price. I know AX is still early but because I am in the market and both my daily devices are AX I might as well try (Unifi 6 Lite or LR though both don't support AX in 2.4GHz so something with 160MHz in 5GHz and AX in 2.4GHz). If you buy consumer AX now forget updates in a year or two. On the other hand the first AC Lite still receives updates and that board has gone through more than 30 revisions (I recently bought one for someone and that had board revision 36 or something). Sadly I haven't had the same luck with their wired routers. The EdgeRouters are running some old Debian and I have had trouble with their PPPoE client. So I flashed OpenWRT recently on it but it didn't run great (for my fiber) either. I am looking for either an R4S NanoPi or one of those protectli devices for just routing. I think in the router part these devices are not cutting it for me (I can do things like dnsmasq blocklisting and stubby with openwrt and cake sqm works great). Anyway I need to plan my WiFi 6 Fiber upgrade well otherwise its easy to get carried away and blow up the budget.
What? You can absolutely blame them. Since the beginning they've explicitly marketed themselves as a higher quality, more streamlined alternative to traditional recruiting. If they've set up the incentives within their company such that the pressure to growth hack ruins their brand, that's clearly a founder/management-level problem.

Bitcoin is money. The best money that has ever existed because it can't be debased and is more difficult to steal.

That it isn't widely accepted as a form of payment yet is nothing to worry about. It will come. It is inevitable.

Deflation is good because things get cheaper over time. The solution to debt is to stop getting into it.

Houses have already ceased to be a source of wealth. All house prices are declining in value w.r.t bitcoin. You can't stop this. Complaining won't get you anywhere. You can choose to ignore or accept this reality.

Storing wealth in your head means you can memorize a passphrase or BIP-39 seed phrase and recover access to your bitcoin anywhere on any machine, without having physical backups of your private keys which might get stolen.
