Alternatively it could be argued that this is the reason that we have a parliament - to mitigate against the undesirable effects of the uneducated masses from implementing poor decisions that seem right in their limited view. The referendum is not constitutionally binding, and until we enact a form of democracy where it is, we're bound by the will of the (presumably) meritocratic representatives that we have chosen to elect in the one case where our direct vote does count.
In America one votes to elect a representative to an electoral college. I do believe that there have been cases where the college decision did not represent the majority of the plebiscite but which were considered democratic because of the constitutionality of the college. As a member of the popular voice one may regret the outcome, but one would have to admit that it was within the scope allowed by the legal and documented process.
I'm with you on this (as a D800 owner). I possibly wouldn't have actually used the SDXC slot as I have an even faster USB 3 card reader and faster CF cards, but it's convenient to do so without involving a hub as I can plug a pair of portable USB 3.0 drives into the two (sigh) USB ports on the last generation MacBook Pro and back up my photos from the SD card to both drives using Photo Mechanic.
Losing the SDXC slot is in theory okay as there are now four ports available for media, so I still shouldn't need to carry a hub around with me. I would now need to connect two drives and a card reader. The problem is that since we're now getting those ports as USB-C format ports, existing drives will need new cabling or I'll be carrying idiotic numbers of adapter cables in addition to the existing cables. Sure, I don't need to buy new cables with every drive that I buy, but I do need at least a pair of each of USB-C to USB-microB (hard drives), USB-C to USB-miniB (card readers, cameras) cables and I need to keep the older cables around in case I need to connect things up to the previous generation hardware or non-Apple systems.
Overall I'm okay with it - four generic device connections is more useful overall than a handful of specific connections (power, display, media card) and two generic. It's just going to require some initial discomfort and additional cost as well as some more thought when picking what cables are needed on trips.
Also, now we need to carry organ transplant boxes full of eyes and hands every time we nick a phone with intent to fence it for cash for bad scag. Thanks Samsung and Apple.
I'm fairly confident that even an underachieving, isolated, centrally planned economy of the scale of North Korea's can if sufficiently motivated manage to copy publicly available 1940s science that was implemented in the 1960s. Whether they can simultaneously manage to feed their military let alone their lower servile population during that program is another matter.
Thanks to the power of The Internet (I'm old-fashioned so I capitalised it) I was able to glean that there is a rotary dial telephone on every table, handy for making voice calls but not so useful for Facebook, Pokemon or Reddit. You can even use these provided telephones to call other tables, although the bar etiquette demands that if you do, you buy a drink for the people at the table that you call. In any case, the twenty-first century schizoid terrorists won't be able to coordinate their attacks without WhatsApp so they'll be in the bar down the road, and probably far enough down the road to not be in the disproportionately geriatric single-home areas of Central Hove.
You're welcome.
You could argue that but it would make you seem pretty stupid. There are historic and legal reasons why the state is a United Kingdom of multiple countries and why this is not constitutionally similar to the United States of America.
AC, Ariel, Ascari, Aston Martin, Briggs, Bristol, Caterham, Ginetta, London Taxi Company, McLaren, Morgan, Noble and TVR are all British owned, British based car companies.
This is what's going to happen, because it's what happens with Spotify and other services. The record companies will pay their artists based upon royalty rates * sales - fees. Only the larger artists will ever be able to offset the fees and the record companies will continue to pocket the proceeds generated by 'minor artists' (which actually includes all the major artists of the past who are no longer selling in sufficient weekly volume). Jay-Z and Madonna will get richer of course, but Roxy Music (for example) won't (unless Jay-Z samples them).
What do you think will happen when immensely more powerful space telescopes are launched?
What do you think will happen once more efficient supersonic airliners are built? Funding of research and the rate of technological growth is in decline. We've peaked. At this point the discussions are likely to center around what color the next space telescope should be and whether test subjects relate to it. Pass me my rubber duck, I think I'm going to have another bath.
Somewhat. The Saudis want to undermine Iran as they sponsor actions that counter Saudi interests and even moderately cheap oil hurts Iran. The Saudis have been diplomatically coaxed not to punish Iran in this way (maintaining production levels higher than the market needs) in recent years because the US needs expensive oil to generate investment in local energy businesses. However, the US imperative for local energy jobs has been offset by the need to punish Russia and so they have lessened the overture for restraint to Saudi Arabia for the time being.
The sequels to Bladerunner will be as well considered and received as the sequels to Highlander were. As with Highlander, the Bladerunner universe and narrative were not the most compelling aspects of the film and so for the film to be truly successful it will need to bring more to the table than the original films did in order to compensate for the loss of originality in set and story. So, if there producers feel that they have what it takes to offer even greater camera work, technical editing, effects, sound design, music, casting and talent performance, why not just apply that to something more unique and original?
With H1-B visas you do not keep the tax revenues in the US, you keep the tax dodgers in the US. Companies such as Microsoft and HP are among the worst offenders, shipping most of their pre-tax profits out of the country to avoid US corporate taxes. They fund their US operations from loans from their offshore entities. They then make use of the services that they have supposedly paid for in their taxes which incurs a cost on the actual tax payers. If they are then planning to bring in foreign workers to more cheaply maintain the onshore jobs, we might as well just outlaw the companies and banish them.
It's only a matter of time before a patent bot creates IP based on this scientific development, a patent troll sues based on the patent and a litigation averse defendant settles the suit out of court.

Perhaps it's time for some American 'researchers' to publicise details on how simple it would be to DoS the Israel 100/101/102 emergency services.
