The difference is that the referendum was stacked against leave in every conceivable way. For example, the remain campaign had £6m more to work with. On top of this the government spent £9m on pro remain leaflets and social media advertising.

Add onto this the fact that the government wheeled out every 'expert' it could find to constantly cry about how bad brexit would be - most of them were lying (Mark Carney, George Osbourne in particular told lies of the most astounding nature - for example that brexit would cause more damage to the economy than WW2? Think about that for a minute.).

If anything the establishment was stacked against brexit.
I'd say the vast majority of words online are in documents, not in apps.

Wikipedia is documents, news sites are documents, wordpress blogs (that are not shops etc) are documents. Even in this forum, when threads are locked after some time, they become documents. Even if they are dynamic behind the scenes.

Naturally, if you are writing something like Twitter, Gmail, any SAAS app, ... you need a different approach than when building websites for documentation, essays, news, and so on.
We had that in the form a "Do Not Track" header and not only did nobody obey it, but malicious actors actually used it as an extra fingerprinting vector to track you even more.

What it's doing is searching through circuit architectures, not accelerating the circuit simulation itself. If you have small quick circuits that's fine, but if solving the circuit once is a hard enough problem (which is true in the problems which we are targeting) then this problem would be infeasible with Google's algorithm because it relies on whatever simulator to exist. So it's just different methods targeting completely different sets of problems.
I'm pretty sure those hyper-annoying multiple-popup flows that happen on YouTube, Google search, etc. are completely localized.

Yes it adds complexity, but the size of the markets and companies involved means there's a massive leverage effect. If you get 1,000 people landing on your homepage, small changes in conversion don't justify engineering time or complexity, true. If you've got billions of users, engineering cost pales in comparison to the revenue gain from even a marginal improvement in conversion rate, so it gets done.
I was wondering, now that Starlink is getting ready for business, if connectivity white spots on the map could not be closed with it. Now, it's a very expensive service, and it might be against the TOS?, but it seems like one Starlink ground subscriber station could serve several households via Wifi or similar. Kinda how some of us shared our connection back in the 1990s, just faster. Perhaps the government of the UK could also make deals with Starlink and similar companies.

I mean do that if you don't want to dig holes and put cables in them.

Also, btw, do we have to say "Sir Tim Berners-Lee"? Call me postmodern, but idgaf if he's a Knight of the UK or the Jedi, it's just character spam. His name is "Tim Berners-Lee", no? (This man is a legend either way.) We say "Paul Graham" not "Dr. Paul Graham, Comp.Sci." and I would also call Professor Albus Dumbledore just Albus Dumbledore, I mean if there was a blogpost about him. :)
I've mainly seen this happen when the site/application is very product/design (non-tech) driven and the developers pull themselves and the code into contortions to deliver very exacting requirements. The goal is to deliver a pixel-perfect result at the end of the sprint, and the unfortunate waste product is the mess of CSS, markup and JS required to deliver it: which then becomes very fragile technical debt that can only be tweaked rather than refactored lest the whole stack of cards collapses. It makes little difference whether the team started out with a UI framework or not at this point.

In most sports, when a goal is scored, the game stops for some kind of reset.

Surely a game with more goals is therefore more boring, because it has more time with everyone dawdling back to the centre line and the referee holding the ball/puck/whatever.
I noticed this quite amusing typo as well, mostly because I live in the Augsburg Area (During tertiary school, I had a few friends in Bonstetten, the little village that Erwin Kreuz lived in during the events of the article).

It isn't a myth, there's a marked difference between having the right to live somewhere and merely the possibility.

Before, it was my right to live in the Netherlands. Now, it is just a possibility.

Thanks to the Withdrawal Agreement, because I already live here, I was given the "right" to apply for a residency, which like 99% of applicants, I received. I can now enjoy that for 5 years, after which I will need sponsorship from a company.

This sponsorship is a key difference, which anyone who has moved to the US can attest to. When your continued existence in a country is contingent on workplace sponsorship the power dynamics between you and your employer are really quite different.

In addition, it's one thing for me in a skilled occupation to be able to leave the country. But I have a friend whose boyfriend may be coming here on an art scholarship. She isn't in a skilled occupation. Before, she would have had the right to come here too. Now, I'm pretty doubtful that she'll be able to join him.

At 24 and probably unlikely to ever leave the UK I wouldn't expect you to understand any of this. But it is the lived reality, previously of every British person leaving the EU and now every British person who leaves the UK.

Edit: But of course, I'm not the first person to explain this to you, and it's not the last time you'll bray to the cheap seats with this mischaracterisation.
> 49 and younger voted remain getting more strongly remain as you go younger

Yeah, but unfortunately only 64% of the under 35 year olds bothered to turn up, while in the older age groups the turnout was much higher (80% for 35-64, 89% for over 65). That was probably a result of many (including the polls) thinking that the "Leave" side didn't have a chance of winning, same as many US Democrat supporters (also supported by the polls) didn't think Trump could win. The US voters got to correct their mistake four years later, no such luck for the UK voters unfortunately...

> If it made things "worse" they why are they not already doing those things?

What do you mean by your statement "not doing those things"?

I hope you know talking about doing something,,, actually doing something,,, and getting caught in the act of doing the "something" are ALL different situations in themselves.

How on earth is equating ISIS members to Gab or even Parler users even remotely the same? It either means you are not aware of the real issue at hand or you seem to have a personal biasness against different political views to yourself.

My point is, Twitter accounts or not, normal (please double bold this word as you read this) people who hold different unpopular views should have the space and freedom to speak their minds.

Unfortunately freedom of speech is a black and white affair. If twitter as a platform doesn't allow their users to legally exercise this right, they might as well come out and freely state they are partisan and include this in their policy. Rather than pretend to be something they are not.

Note: Terrorism is criminalized and well-defined within most state laws. My argument is not in defence of this.
Moving to France and discovering that every grocery store always has an entire aisle full of Cheeses was a mind-bending discovery for me. The aisle stinks, mind you, but nothing can beat Raclette after a winter's day out. The other amazing realisation was just how seriously bread is taken in these parts, with that famous No Such Thing observation that bakers in Paris may not take a vacation without putting a sign to the nearest boulangerie.
> I am looking for knowledge.

Then you probably shouldn't consider a university. If you are looking for knowledge then you can find all the best material online for free and in textbooks. And if you are willing to spend money you can use that to hire a private tutor to work with you through that material. You're going to learn more, quicker, get personalized lessons, and you'll still get away with paying less than would you would for a university degree.
I hope you realise you're also describing your contribution to this debate.

Cookie Security: 10 Tips to Protect Your Web Application
I grew up in the city in Australia. Once when I crossed the road (as a pedestrian) at a red light, a police officer on the other side of the street stopped me and gave me a warning for jaywalking. Before I had walked, I had looked both ways and deemed it safe; there was no traffic and no other pedestrians waiting.

(In my mind: I am just a person on planet Earth, trying to get from position A to position B, less than 5 metres away).

Having now lived in the UK and Netherlands for over 10 years, I feel this would never happen here. I would expect this in the US though (so I rarely jaywalk on the few times I have been there).

I tell this anecdote as an example to my friends when I try to describe how Australia has a mix of influences from both Europe and the US.
This may be a dumb question, but is there any reason why these crime groups don't just use Signal? I understand a phone number is required upon registration but a burner sim could be used and discarded for that purpose.

So the basic package says you can share passwords with one other. But it also says core features and sharing are 100% free. But when you click on that box that mentions core features you (I mean me) expect to see what core features are. Instead I'm asked to create an account. For a thing that's supposedly free. So no sell. I'm really sorry because I want to like software like this, but not like this.
No it's not fitting. You don't make trillion pound economic, social and political decisions based on the whim of a popular vote. At least not unless you have powerful allies in the media and a personal interest to gain. Which is the real crux of the referendum was about. It was never about us regular folk and entirely about the self interests of those in charge. We were just pawns in a much larger game of power.

Let's back that claim up with some examples:

Why the referendum was called in the first place? Cameron never wanted a referendum but did so as an attempt to unify the Conservative party because with the right wing opinions fragmenting between multiple parties the Tories were starting to lose dominance (more parties within a set demographic on a first past the post electoral system means fewer votes for any particular party within that demographic). When the Conservatives had a near monopoly in the centre and right wing policies it meant that left wing parties could never catch up due to how fragmented they are (Green, Labour, SNP, local independents, etc) so left wing voters have always had to vote a little more tactically and go for the party most likely to win in their area and hope for a coalition. So the original goal for the referendum wasn't about addressing European issues but instead about monopolising the right wing vote which was getting fragmented by nationalist parties. Cameron assumed it was an easy win and that he could curb the tide of MPs leaving his party for more nationalistic counterparts. He's even gone on record stating this and how it turned into an epic own goal.

With regards to whether we would have been better off in or out of the EU -- frankly that's one argument I don't want to get drawn into because, frankly, nobody actually knows. Most of the arguments on both sides of the debate were FUD and the most honest point anyone made was "it's complicated and we don't really know for sure."
True - I should have been less aggressive in my comment, I'll remove it!
While I can appreciate the author's nostalgia, I cannot really agree on some of the criticism:

The manure problem is a problem at any size of farm, the amount of manure per cow is somewhat constant. So concentrating all the cows in some factory farm doesn't really make anything worse as long as the total number of cows is somewhat constant.

The undocumented immigrant labour problem isn't as big a problem as the family farms' systemic problem of child labour and child exploitation. Which the author glosses over in his point of view.

To feed a growing population on earth, we do need industrial farming. Maybe not so much cattle. But in general, higher efficiency and more professional operations should be applauded. Yes, that means that family farms will be gone at some point.

If the EU cannot show there's a big exit cost it may not last too much longer.
Economic growth is so lackluster all across the EU, including new entrants, that few people (who looked at the data) genuinely believe EU membership is a GDP booster. EU's next best bet is to play into the fear that exiting will bring about economic ruin. This works particularly well on newer members who may not be on good terms with core EU countries. Their fear wouldn't necessarily be missing out on benefits but getting slapped with sanctions.
Classic problem in Paris: you constantly find (well, out of Covid...) baffled travellers (mostly Asian) lost with their suitcases at the Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile subway station. They're looking for the Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport, 50 km away... Unfortunately the RER (suburban train) station names aren't distinct enough.

Having thought about this a bit, I think the suggestion to increase the goal/reduce the goalie would make ice hockey considerably less interesting to watch.

It goes something like this. The inherent thrill of watching a sports event comes from multiple things: pace of the game, ratio between attempts/scores, watching skillful people do tricky things, but most importantly - not knowing who is going to win. So, it's not very exciting to watch a coin tossing championship, because there's no skill involved. But at the same time, it's not very exciting to watch something where the nominally stronger team wins with near absolute certainty. Like a game with a high attempt/score ratio with a single mode of scoring. Basketball solved this by introducing another mode of scoring that's also inherently more uncertain. So they introduced asymmetry and more uncertainty leading to more interesting games, as the certainty with which you can say who's going to win is reduced, as that depends on wider skill-sets across the team and also more luck.

Now, take a game with a low attempt/score ratio. The uncertainty about who's going to win is baked into that ratio. With some luck, the nominally weaker team still has a chance of winning the nominally stronger team. And this is what makes ice hockey interesting in my book. This is how Finland could win the world championships without any NHL players last year. Increasing the goal would increase the attempt/score ratio, without adding any other offsetting asymmetry to the game. This will reduce the uncertainty of who's going to win, making the game less interesting to watch. For a game with a relatively high attempt/score ratio that's also highly dynamic with a lot of attempts per game, and has somewhat similar strategies to hockey, I invite you to check out Innebandy/Floorball. It's a fun game, but not that exciting as a spectator sport. Because the nominally stronger team will win any given game with near certainty due to the large amount of attempts per game coupled with a high attempt/score ratio.
I think it is crucial to understand data structures and algorithms, more so than whatever way they exposed in each programming language, as Nicklaus Wirth puts it, Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs.

The US has a similar privacy law in California they must support, and many companies have presence globally, so they are having to deal with this in the following ways, like many others.

GDPR has given a 50M EUR handslap to Google and similar to some other large companies[1] while seriously hurting smaller companies
with existing custom web applications for whom they may not even have someone on staff to modify those to be GDPR-compliant.

Small businesses like others must determine what PII is, how to anonymize it, and how to remove it when users request their PII to be removed. PII could be in their server logs or other locations that are inaccessible to most employees of the business. Backups might be excluded from PII scrubbing, but so much is unclear.

Let’s also talk about what it doesn’t protect. PCI, not GDPR, attempts to provide protection for cardholder data. GDPR doesn’t protect against PII that was previously shared. Nor does it protect from data being stolen, unless the user had their data removed prior.

Actually, the referendum was stacked against Remain, as Leave covered every single possible variation of not being in the EU, and at no point had to define anything except being "Not Remain"
You can probably fingerprint the protocol and block it, but then it will just turn into a game of cat and mouse.
Also for fraudulent malpractice cases. An investigation made the news recently where a lady was suing a hospital.

She claimed some massive disability following an operation, and the hospital's own investigations team followed her and filmed her jogging, drinking, etc.

It would have been using these same powers to do the surveillance work.
OK, so the problem is that I find it basically impossible to understand how a well-informed and rational person could come to the conclusions you've come to.

The EU isn't perfect, but you'll struggle to argue that it hasn't expanded peace, prosperity and human rights across the continent. This is motherhood-and-apple-pie stuff.

Arguments in favour of Brexit thus tend to boil down to immigration and 'sovereignty'.

There's a consensus amongst economists that immigration makes us financially better off. That makes it hard not to ascribe a strong desire to cut immigration to a powerful desire for ethnic homogeneity and/or a powerful dislike of foreigners. Those things are very close to racism.

Meanwhile, the 'sovereignty' Brexit delivers is almost wholly illusory. In practice, we'll get to choose which of the big players to take the rules from. That's going to be either the US (which hardly anybody actually wants — most Brits value our health service, non-toxic food and drinking water, holiday pay, and so on — and also isn't very helpful, because the US is far away) or the EU (whose decisions we used to play an outsized role in, but no longer have any influence over).

It would be hilarious — if it weren't tragic and a little terrifying — that the ones in charge of 'taking back control' are also the ones stifling parliament, suppressing voting, and attacking academics, judges and the rule of law. As far as I can see, the only ones taking back control are the rulers, and the only ones they're taking back control from are the other citizens of the UK.
It costs the merchant more to process a credit card transaction, so they don't bother unless they're likely to get a lot of tourists. These days, more and more places are going cashless too, though those places generally always accept credit cards, otherwise it'd be really hard for overseas visitors to pay.

I have a credit card here and only use it for international transactions[0], it has a fairly low limit to the point where if I'm, say, booking long-haul flights I need to pre-load it with money which fortunately only takes moments. This is partly by choice - as it's automatically paid off each month, I want to ensure I can never put more on it than will be in my bank account - but also that was the default limit when I got it.

I have done exactly the same more than a year ago. Couldn't be happier. The bitwardenrs server is extremely lightweight so it runs with almost no resources.

Please consider bitwardenrs is a 3rd party implementation, indeed community led, so it lags several features which have been introduced by Bitwarden itself.

See the full list of feature requests in the Rust implementation here [1], but the two things I'll miss most are Emergency Access and now this feature called Bitwarden Send.

Wallet goes in right front pocket. Phone goes in left front pocket. Keys goes with wallet.

Sticking to these invariants makes for less frustration. Not sticking to them means frustration twice a month or so.
This seems like the wrong approach. I don't see how closing large-scale mining facilities will suddenly solve the problem.

As long as the energy remains cheap, mining will just move underground. I could see miners offering ordinary villagers kickbacks to "host" a few miners on their premises as to conceal the energy consumption behind what appears to be legitimate usage.
