Because the referendum was only advisory, something that was stated clearly at the start. Both sides were aware going into the referendum that invoking article 50 would ultimately be decided by parliament.

I tried it out of curiosity, and to see if I could improve my diet. It gives me a lot more energy, especially at work, and my productivity and sleep quality have improved drastically. that said after almost two weeks on Holiday where I didn

I've been drinking that breakfast and lunch for a few months and have felt great. Only downside is occasional dehydration if I don't keep my water inkeep up, but that's easy to fix fast and self inflicted.

I used MBTI in a similar way when I was younger. I identified strongly with the INTP type and wanted to become more outgoing and confident so I studied the descriptions of the ENTP type and deliberately cultivated some of those behaviours.

I personally read that as an ambition rather than a reality, Sam wants to make YC an organisation that will have an important effect on economic growth.

I've not went and read any of the actual studies, only the article, but it seems that they start measuring kids around the age of 10 onwards, is this not too late? One of the themes seems to be that certain measurements of ability at t

Hmm with phones like the HTC 10 and LG V10 coming with built in amps there's a number of folk saving external amp/dac for home builds and using top music phones for on the go.

It's certainly not huge but I don't think it's tiny either. There's a growing market of people who care deeply about audio quality. Perhaps not to 'proper audiophile' level but enough to choose a phone largely

Hmm this could lose them a large chunk of the audiophile/music lovers market (though they may be losing that anyway). A lot of top quality headphones don't have removable wires and carrying an adapter is a pain. Why choose Apple a

Why would Ireland need to negotiate with the EU?
581.
by ck425 10y ago
Or it might play well on rising nationalist anti-EU sentiments throughout Europe. The EU has a lot of battles to fight at the moment so Apple might be betting that they back off to an extent. That said I agree it will likely blow up in Appl

I reckon the letter is intended to maintain support in Ireland rather than the EU, which is a lost causes. Given the rise of EU scepticism and Brexit (remembering the UK and Ireland are extremely close) if Apple can maintain support in Irel

What of the arguments that it would encourage entrepreneur by giving them more of a safety net to try new ventures? Additionally most studies suggest Basic Income won't be that much more expense and will save heavily on administration

That was my own wording of the policy, I'm not sure what the actual policy is. Unpaid leave isn't a legal right, atleast not in the uk, so offering up to 12 days as you like seems like a good deal to me.

by ck425 10y ago
My company has quite a good policy: - 29 days a year (fairly standard in the uk, legally required to have at least 28) - No formal approval needed. (Check with your team etc) - Can buy up to 12 days extra a year IIRC for the cost of a days

But the person speaking doesn't necessarily know what feelings or associations you give a word, so they can't be blamed for your reaction to them.

by ck425 10y ago
I'm not surprised by that. In every company power/influence come from a mixture of politics and formal hierarchy, so it makes sense that if you remove the latter the former would take over. That said, with the right culture office

'Nothing is a more powerful inducement than financial incentives' Actually there's a lot of research that contradicts this. Essentially as long as people have enough money that they don't worry about money ie a comfortab

We are seeing a cut in funding because until we exit and redistribute that money the EU will in the meantime not fund UK scientists or UK based projects. As I said given May's history with the technology industries it seems unlikely.
590.
by ck425 10y ago
You can't deny there will be less funding, given the amount of funding we receive from the EU. Though hopefully the new PM will prioritise investment in research and hopefully given the strong technology sector in the UK CompSci will g

You have elected MEPs that make many of the decisions. Additionally in the UK currently you have a FPTP system that is arguably undemocratic and an unelected House of Lords (which I don't necessarily disagree with) so surely there are

I was referencing the anti-expert rhetoric that was popular among the leave campaign. I'm sure many leave voters had their reasons but there was also a significant anti-expert segment. Do you have current statistics on the Scottish spe

Perhaps, but it would be a different situation from a completely new country joining. The Spanish have back pedalled on their previous threats to do so. Not sure about Germany. I'm not say it would definitely happen, only that it woul

Out of curiosity, why?

You presume the referendum will be based on sound analysis. If there's one thing the EUref has shown it's that you don't need sound analysis. It also depends heavily on how the UK does in the coming year. The UK needs to be e

"The UK rescued the Scottish banks. Scotland will have to take on half this debt." That's an extremely common fallacy. The banks were bailed out not by the countries they were based in but by the proportion of their wealth th

Definitely the former. That and possibly an attempt at a second indyref if the current momentum doesn't die. I live in Edinburgh, one of the areas with the highest No vote in the indyref, and pretty much everyone I talk to who voted No

The First Minister also has a mandate to represent the Scottish people, who voted to stay in the EU, and most whose elected officials are pro-EU. Not to say I disagree with you, but Nicola Sturgeon (her own political goals aside) is only be

We might not have to leave the uk and rejoin. There's precedence for regions of countries not being in the EU while other are. Additionally the UK is a union between Scotland and England so we'd technically not be leaving, but cho

It's really a minor factor compared to lack of investment due to austerity. This is the frustrating aspect of it, that the working class brexitors have been blaming immigration for many issues and the remain campaign have failed to mak
