If you think having referenda is comparable, then let's have them every 5 years too, on both Scottish independence or rejoining the the Union, and on Brexit or rejoining the EU.

It's just the same.
There is a big difference between people legally arriving under a points system and people rowing themselves over to live illegally.

From former Czechoslovakia, our disintegration was a mixed parcel.

The best thing is that Slovaks had to stand on their own feet and their nationalists slowly had stop blaming everything on Prague. This kind of whiny nationalism embodied by then-prime minister of Slovakia Vladimir Meciar is somewhat disgusting and I can see its softer version in Scotland right now.

The worst thing is that yes, our international weight has gone down significantly.

But there was customs union between CZ and SK even after the split. I cannot imagine the economic pain if the former federation was suddenly divided by a hard border, as Scotland and England would be.
How often do you think independence referenda should be held?

Firstly I'd agree that there's not a significant far left political party in Scotland (Scottish Greens, perhaps?) but it is still more left-leaning overall. But re the "nationalist" bit - that word is overloaded. So the word usually means a couple of things:

1. "far-right beliefs that centre on religious and ethnic hatred"

2. or, "a desire to become an independent nation"

In this case when people say the SNP is nationalist it's the second - their policy is that Scotland should be an independent country. For what it's worth they seem to have a strong pro-immigration stance[0] and a belief in racial equality[1], which are usually things type #1 nationalists are heavily against - so take from that what you will.

Scotland doesn't have England's immigration problems because immigrants generally don't want to go to Scotland. It's easy to be virtuous when the problem doesn't affect you.

Scotland wouldn't meet the criteria to join the EU - it's far too poor and small by itself. Exiting the UK would just isolate them more.

Tell HN: Apple's Twitter account reached 8M followers without a single tweet
The title already says it.. with an exception of a June 6th, tweet (linking to an apple.com page) about "The new MacBook Air. Supercharged by M2"

@Apple has just reached Eighth million followers without tweeting a single tweet in more than ten years since its account creation, which is bizarre to me.

What I found more bizarre is the people, or accounts in general [I hope you are not one of them :-) ] who chose to "Follow @Apple" even if they are sure it is not tweeting.

Just some weird thoughts that come to my mind in recent days!

Since I've changed mine I think that is called teaching granny to suck eggs.

> If what your choice was based on changed, then it's perfectly logical for your choice to change in response.

I was told it was a once in a generation vote - has that changed? What constitutes a big enough change to bring a new vote? How often should these type of referenda be held?

> Holding up to "once in a generation" promises is stupid, though so was making such a claim to start with.

Yes, you must forgive me for thinking that principles and promises are worth sticking to. I should be as cynical as politicians and simply go by what is convenient, right?

I am a Czech citizen and a mild Euroskeptic. I definitely do not want the EU to become stronger than it already is. We have had enough experience where obsession with "more power" leads, and I do not want to see this scenario replayed again in slightly different conditions.

What I value about current EU is precisely that it cannot just squash dissent by force, even from a single country.
While at CERN and Fermilab everyone was using mostly Windows 2000 and OS X on their desktops, and many were doing their papers in Framemaker instead of LaTeX.

How about super inefficient work on low revolutions per second mode which is typical for going uphill? And can you really produce any significant measure of energy using recuperation?
I started my first Rust project a month ago after working for years in Golang and before that Python (and before that Perl, C/C++ and Turbo Pascal). I really like the whole experience but I'm not sure if I'd recommend writing all your backend code in Rust as a startup.

Rust definitely provides a pleasant experience and is very powerful. If you can stick to the standard library I think Rust is great, though the package ecosystem is still lacking in many respects and most packages seem immature and quite limited. So if you plan to build something that has sizeable external dependencies plan some time to either write that yourself or to spend a lot of time debugging and vetting external packages, many of which are maintained as side projects by single developers. Documentation often also seems to be subpar as compared to e.g. Python. I suppose that's due to the auto-generation of documentation which seems to lead to people mostly writing what I'd refer to as API documentation with very few tutorials.

So is Rust worth it for a startup? Not so sure. I recently picked up Python again to write a simple REST API, and the process is just so much faster and (for me) enjoyable because of the "ad hocness" of the language and of course the great existing tooling around it (I still have to find an ORM as powerful as SQLAlchemy in Rust or Golang). And let's be honest it's also possible to write great scalable services in Python (or Ruby, or Javascript), as many scaleups still use these technologies.

Onboarding of developers might be another issue: Yeah, everyone wants to be a Rust programmer, but for people that have little experience with systems programming the learning curve is quite steep, so you'll limit your candidate pool quite a bit and will need more time for hiring.
>I don't buy a vehicle for the average use case -- I buy it for the edge cases. When I need to be able to move stuff or tow a trailer, I can. If I needed to cross the country tonight because of a family emergency, I could. I think this is a fairly common mindset for most people,

That really isn't the common mindset. If it was, everyone would be driving huge 7 seater trucks for the edge case where they need to haul some lumber with their 7 person family.

Most people buy a car for their typical needs. If they want to move a lot of stuff, they rent a van or a trailer.

If you needed to cross the country tonight because of a family emergency you could do that in any car, EV or fossil fuel. A modern EV might take you longer because of charging stops, but when you factor in scheduled breaks of a typical cross country drive, the charging times don't actually add up to a lot more at all.

>You're right that most people don't need a 22kW charger for their car, and they can wake up with a full tank every morning, but most people are probably also averse to the idea that their car has a downtime of several hours when they might really need it

If you need a full car then you drive to a fast charger and charge it. They exist for this exact purpose of needing a fast charge.

I can charge my car to 80% in like 20 minutes.
I've never seen an empty gas station during the day in my city.

You can't have batteries to charge batteries, then you'd need batteries to charge the batteries charging the batteries. All of that because we simultaneously decided that nuclear was bad and all we need is windmills, which are like the worst thing to power a fully electric world with high demand peaks, and to move from gas to electric cars

Adding batteries won't solve any problem. Gas allowed us to live unsustainably and made it easy to do so. Wanting to replicate that with electricity/batteries is plain stupid.

If everyone needs three tonnes of steel and their own body weight in rare earth material to cover 30km per day on average we're totally fucked from the get go
When it’s a close vote and circumstances are changing rapidly, I’d say pretty often. Maybe every two or three years until some kind of consensus emerges? It seems like an important topic you wouldn’t want to suppress except for once every sixty years or whatever, and might force some negotiation to get to a better place whether through independence or reconciliation.

This is assuming the role of the government here is to track what the people want and execute their will. Maybe it’s different in the UK (again, I don’t live there and I know it’s a complicated system).
IMO the collapse of Yugoslavia has mostly made the newly-independent states doomed to be forever at the periphery of capital.
Tell them WHY you are leaving when you leave.

Tell prospective employers about your concerns during interviews.

When you turn down a job offer be clear WHY you did so, if it’s related to a bad management scheme.
I get your point but I think what’s going on with OP would happen anywhere in the world. CS degrees are not hands-on and so if you are not already working on mastering a certain area of IT you will find yourself just as useful as a philosopher at the end of the program.

The advice on the thread is very good, keep at it, this career path, like many others is a lifetime learning experience.
Perhaps I simply don't understand what you mean, but none of those questions seem very complex? For 1-3, see any Baltic states in the early 90s who are now a part of the EU. Just because you don't meet the requirements to join right away doesn't mean you can't do it over time. As for 4, naturally Scotland would own its own natural resources, what's ambiguous about that?
Would it not be appealing for the English financial sector to move to Scotland if it’s part of the EU?
> new faces with far right credentials

I'm not sure what your definition of far right is but that statement is quite far from the truth.
Not OP but also Dutch. Yes I would definitely like the EU to abolish veto powers and move to a majority rule. Europeans are too divided and need to band together to form a realistic opposition to the US and China. Veto rule is no way to govern a large group, since you only have to bribe a single member to cripple the whole. This has been known since at least the ancient Greek citystate era.
- a business analysts is not a non-technical stakeholder

- the real end-user would quite likely care about some details because they'd know it will directly affect their lives (but you'll likely not get the actual end-user in the room because they're kind of never the stakeholder in AI/ML products)

- managers on AI/ML products are often quite technical

So technically they're right, it just their deifnition of "non-data specialists" does not include actual stakeholders. And ofc. you're right too.

That's often the problem with current AI/ML development, the owner/client is neither the stakeholder nor the actual end-user (at "best" the end-user is their direct "prey/victim")... and this leads to much worse outcomes than simply failing to explain/understand how/why a solution works :( I was having some hopes that the much maligned "web 3" push towards decentralization would make a dent here pulling at least a degree towards a better course... but nope.
Locally, the same 90%. It's no use sharing a car with someone who needs to commute somewhere else at the same time, you need to share it with non-conflicting use.
Is that an answer to their first question, their second, or both?
If Scottish leave voters hadn't turned out then the referendum would have resulted in "remain". So it's interesting to say in that context that "Scotland voted to remain" as many people simplify it to. 3:2 is a big margin and it's meaningful, but it doesn't define Scots.
> Democratic votes need the consent of the loser, not I didn't get my way so let's have another vote.

That's only true till the situation changes. If the reason for your vote disappeared, then it's legit to reevaluate your vote.

> a third of those voting for independence also want(ed) independence from the EU

Which means two third, the majority, voted for the EU? Seems like a legit reason for a new vote.
People are making a lot of strange, reaching conclusions based on little information
> No, it's exactly the opposite. I'm saying: there's free software and proprietary software. Some people select free. Other, for whatever reason, select proprietary. It's cool, both sides make sense. What's wrong with that?

Nothing is wrong with the fact that humans can choose to use proprietary software. I think we have repeated this argument several times already. What is wrong is proprietary software itself.

> That's exactly why I pointed out the dogmatic approach to "Proprietary software is immoral in general", especially the "in general". What I'd find okay to be immoral, is forcing people onto proprietary software. But as long as people have the choice? Let them be.

Proprietary software is immoral, because it takes away user's freedom.

Whether or not it is forced upon is not relevant for its immorality, because once a person starts using proprietary software, they lose control over their computing. That's what makes it immoral. What happens before and after that is completely irrelevant to the argument.

Just as selling addictive drugs like heroin is immoral, because it enslaves people, through psychological/physical dependency. Of course, people should have the choice to put whatever they want into their own bodies. But that does not make heroin dealers any less immoral - their profit is derived directly from their users' enslavement.

Whether people should have freedom to enslave themselves in general is a completely different discussion that has nothing to do with software.

There was a famous Swedish author called Fritiof Nilsson Piraten, whose grave lacks any name but instead had the inscription (translated):

"Here below are the ashes of a man who had the habit of putting everything off until tomorrow. But in his last days he improved, and did actually die on January 31, 1972."
"rich people who can afford to fly over a mountain regularly"

Look at the rural countryside in places like Norway. I am not talking about rich people primarily, but semi-isolated communities whose older citizens might need specialized healthcare etc.

Also, this was originally a discussion about electric planes, so their effect on climate change is probably neutral-ish.

I’ve also been learning rust in my spare time, and am more and more realising that I spend time solving rust’s problems more than solving the problems of the side project I started
Why is holding the pro-independence people to "once in a generation" okay but not holding the contra-independence people to "this is the only way to stay in the EU"?

The issue was a vote on staying in the EU as much as staying in the UK. Now these circumstances changed.

Also, the promises of further devolution weren't kept either.

Again, why are you so hung up on the (let's say) lie of "once in a generation" but not hung up on all the other lies told by the opposition?

What peppers do you think they are made of?

> Huy Fong Foods' chili sauces are made from fresh, red, jalapeño chili peppers and contain no added water or artificial colors.[9] Garlic powder is used rather than fresh garlic.[10] The company formerly used serrano chilis, but found them difficult to harvest. To keep the sauce hot, the company produces only up to a monthly pre-sold quota in order to use only peppers from known sources.[4]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce_(Huy_Fong_Foods...

> It was due to a fateful phone call Underwood made to a mutual vendor of Trans that linked these two together at the beginning of Sriracha’s growth. That first year, they grew 50 acres of chiles for Huy Fong Foods (average yield: 30 tons per acre). Four years ago they were up to 17,000 tons, and today, after 26 years in business with Tran, Underwood Ranch grows 58,000 tons of the unique jalapeño chiles used exclusively by Huy Fong Foods. That’s 2,000 acres of farmland devoted to Sriracha alone, with plans to keep expanding. This is done two years in advance, so there’s time to find the right fields and to prep the soil for optimal growing conditions.
