Sounds convincing, until you realize it completely it completely ignored immigrants who are not born in the EU. All those "Syrian" refugees that people keep complaining about? Not counted.
All of that $120M is plowed right back into the economy at the lowest level
Yeah, because the people running the yacht-building company are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, and they're not collecting any profit. Er, wait...
Bill Gates work, while beneficial to humanity,
Bill Gates started with BASIC on paper tape, and if your tape was bad and broke he wouldn't replace it.
Then he CEO'd Microsoft, which was found to have abused its market position in basically every possible anticompetitive fashion.
Then he moved his ill-gotten gains into the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, where they can't be taxed. (And there are numerous ways to get your money back out of a charitable trust.) Since then he's spent his money spreading Big Pharma's chosen IP laws around the globe, and on "improving" education in ways that actual educators (and those who study education) say actually harms education. He has eradicated zero diseases, at least in part because some governments won't deal with him, because you have to agree to strong IP law protection for pharmaceutical companies in order to get medical aid.
IOW, Bill Gates' work is neither beneficial to humanity nor job-creating.
How many people to crew the yacht? 23 full time jobs. Just for his boat! His previous yacht (now owned by David Geffen) has a crew of 45.
Corporations are legal fictions. It's all people — and some of the people at Oracle are scum. Of course, those aren't the people getting laid off. They're the ones deciding that these people will be laid off.
FUD indeed. I don't understand why Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson still haven't been taken into a dark passage to get beaten the hell out of them.
I can't speak to Farage, but Boris Johnson is clearly being protected by the same kind of alien symbiote that's watching out for Donald Trump. It lives on the tops of their heads, and it feeds on their brainwaves — specifically those associated with narcissism.
"Oh, if only our citizens had been correctly informed, they would never have voted for Brexit!" That seems to be the defining rationale for all the dissent in the UK today, and it's complete and total bullocks.
No one will admit that the UK could voluntarily implement all the agreements it currently has with the EU - such as unrestricted travel between nations - and there would be little hardship.
That's because it would be a lie. Speaking directly to your example, the EU cannot unilaterally implement unrestricted travel, because the right of UK citizens to do that is part of the UK's membership in the EU. They would have to negotiate that being part of a post-brexit agreement, and the EU is unlikely to give on that particular point.
But mostly, the argument that "not enough correct information got out" and "people would have chosen differently with better information" is completely false.
You keep saying that, which means you either don't know what you're talking about, or you're lying. I suspect the latter, frankly, but even the former should be enough to disqualify your comment from relevance.
The UK culture has undergone a massive shift these past 30 years, and the people are not happy with the results. Teens are stabbed every week in London, people are being arrested for online criticism, jobs are hard to come by, and different-culture people are everywhere.
Again, all of that will continue with or without membership in the EU. You'd better figure out how to fix those problems either way, because they're only going to increase.
You give the people of the UK to little credit. They chose, and even if you don't agree with it you should abide by that choice.
They deserve little credit. That doesn't set them apart from most westerners, who are generally underinformed and overcomplacent, but so what?
a bit more liberty-impinging bureaucracy every year, all for a taste of that radiant socialist future that's always just around the corner!
The UK is one of the most government camera-dense locations on the planet, and a member of five eyes. The UK is that thing you described with or without the EU.
Yes, looking out for your own interests is selfish. It's something all humans do, called self-preservation. Why you try to say that's a bad thing just proves that you are being disingenuous.
Selfishness is a bad thing when it's taken to an illogical extreme. Suggesting otherwise is socially retarded.
I assume you're from a country that would BENEFIT from the UK staying in the EU, so you're doing the same thing.
Everyone but perhaps Russia and China will benefit if the UK stays in the EU, including the UK.
The free ride is over, the EU is dead, and the world government they want is going down the toilet.
The UK is not providing a free ride to the EU. They are getting quite a bit.
And now there is government help, but the help doesn't require people to relocate if they get it, and that's horribly misguided. People should either be able to stay where they are and have to do it all themselves, or get a hand up off the flood plain. I'm all for helping people, but you don't let the drowning man pull you under. You knock him the hell out if you have to.
A few hundred is hardly a significant number across a large organization like Oracle,
A few hundred employees are not a large percentage of Oracle's total number, but the headline implies that they are firing programmers, and their total number of programmers is vastly less than the total number of persons in their employ. If they are truly letting a large number of engineering staff go, it's a sign of further impending change.
An insurance payment for a flood-damaged home should come with a relocation requirement, and replacement should not be on any other flood plain, either.
Aquifers can accommodate several times as much water as surface storage, but they are not refilled in a year — even a year like this one. Too much of the water runs off. Deforestation and land development tend to cause land to shed water. It runs into the ocean instead of into land which can contain it until it can seep into aquifers. Los Angeles is the American poster child for this; it's got so much pavement that basically all of the water runs off immediately. I've read that they get enough rainfall per year to make up over 90% of their water use, but that it runs into the ocean instead of storage systems.
All you need is 100 independent regions and you'll have a once in a century event every year.
It's become common for regions to have new records every few years of late, and the globe has had two hottest years in recorded history in what, the last decade?
I would say that ATT's continued existence is more a testament to the cluelessness of their customers than some systemic corruption.
In addition to everything else ATT has done, telcos have stolen billions from Americans by taking money intended for infrastructure and handing it out to execs as bonuses. So no.
On one side of their mouth they say "We continue to believe modular computing is a market where there are many opportunities for innovation." while the other side says they will no longer develop new Compute Cards." So, which is it Intel? Why not just be honest and say "We couldn't compete in this market/make enough money, so we're leaving it."
All of those things can be true at the same time.
How many passive backplane PCs have you seen? They are vanishingly rare, and consequently they come with substantial price penalties vs. ATX systems. They only make sense where space is intensely limited, or where motherboards get fried (or otherwise fail) regularly. And even then, they have to be low-power, because of power and cooling requirements. Most customers are better served by replacing whole PCs. The rest have time to swap motherboards.
The market segment in question is minuscule. It's been destroyed on one side by cheap PCs, and on the other side by blade servers. It's also being nibbled away by ARM SBCs, on the bottom. It made no sense for Intel to get involved in it in the first place.
It migrated to hangouts, but hangouts seems to be a dead app that crashes on my phones now (I get a notification, but can't use it on two phones).
Still "works" on my Moto E2. It doesn't work that well, though. It drops most of my calls in mid-sentence.
Is there still Google Voice? is it part of Hangouts? Was it wrapped into Google+ and that's why it died?
Maybe try installing the Voice app and see? It still exists, and it seems to work OK. For some reason you can't use both Voice and Hangouts to do SMS though. I never did understand that. Still don't.
They also really need to add the find same photo from Picassa desktop app to the photos website. It's terribly annoying to know they have the tech from image search and don't let me use it.
There's also a cultural thing that most Chinese people are a lot less emotionally invested in ICE cars than Americans.
Granted, but only because they don't have them. Point of fact, it wasn't that long ago that they weren't allowed to have them. And in between now and then, they were only allowed to have crap ones. Meanwhile, most of them still can't afford a car...
Don't be surprised to see language used such as "icky and gross" "problematic" "toxic" and so on and so forth.
Forget all that shit, he's just uncreative and boring. I can get that anywhere. Hell, I can get that for free and without any hardware by just talking to people in public.
The scooters don't share your location with LA, they share their location. Only the scooter company tracks where you are going - which you somehow don't care about.
The scooter company knows who took that trip. LA can use that information to determine that a scooter user was in the area, then use a warrant to get the identifying information. They can also correlate the scooter data with other data in order to identify users.

If it does not cost any money or revenue, there is no incentive for Telco A to be vigilant or sincere in the authentication issue.
They've made a reciprocal agreement. They both get the same thing out of it.
Sounds convincing, until you realize it completely it completely ignored immigrants who are not born in the EU. All those "Syrian" refugees that people keep complaining about? Not counted.
They weren't counted in the referendum, either.

That seems to be the defining rationale for all the dissent in the UK today, and it's complete and total bullocks.
1) That's "ballocks". Bullocks are very different, even though they have massive ballocks.
2) We know beyond any doubt that citizens were not correctly informed, because they have told us so. Lots of people who voted for brexit absolutely did not understand what they were voting for.
No one will admit that the UK could voluntarily implement all the agreements it currently has with the EU - such as unrestricted travel between nations - and there would be little hardship.

Do the Green New Deal, not for the "Green" part but for the "New Deal" part.
Both are important. Global warming threatens jobs and infrastructure, which means it threatens the economy.

So these events aren't 100-year events (or what have you) any more.
So forgive me if I ignore the constant stream of selfish stupid people demanding that we ignore the democratic wishes of the UK population.
You mean the stupid selfish wishes of the UK population? Pretty sure it's selfishness and stupidity across the board.
Yep. The fact it's done is a minor news item. When we find out what's actually in it, if we find out, that will be real news.

Bus drivers need lunch/tea/piss breaks and they always go back to the depot at some point on their round trips journeys
Nope. Drivers can be switched out at a transit station, while the bus keeps on going. The driver doesn't have to go back to the barn.
