It'll need to happen quickly to calm the markets. Otherwise our economy will suffer massively leading to recession.

I completely agree. 2% of the population deciding something of this magnitude is ridiculous.

If the EU had been able to control its borders this would never have happened. Unfortunately it proved itself singularly incapable of dealing with even that task, having to cosy up to a dictator like Erdogan. There are too many bleeding hea

Exactly. If they held the referendum next week we'd probably get a different result. What a farce.

There are elections. But how many MEPs can you name off the top of your head? I can't name a single one... I think that's the perceived issue with EU law making.

That's the stupid thing. The high working class turnout to vote leave means that the EU labour laws can be repealed (work time directive, gender equality, etc.). Who do you think is likely to get hit hardest by that once the Tories sta

This is the biggest miscalculation of Cameron's career, letting the population of non-economists vote on our future like this. He'll be gone within the week. Every other country in the EEA has free movement of people as a conditio

That's what an Uber driver told me the other day. He also works for a local taxi firm and uses Uber when there's little business from his firm. I guess they're trying to put local firms out of business by subsidising fairs.

I wasn't sure if it was just me, but in that case what makes Uber so valuable? Are they banking on putting all the taxi companies out of business and then monopolising the market?

How does this compare to shippable? Specifically, does it build docker containers which can be pushed to a registry (e.g. google's) and then deployed using Kubernetes into google cloud?

In fact, to elaborate a bit, he mentions feeling a 'knot' in his lower belly. That sounds like swadhistana chakra, or what the Taoists call the Lower Dan Tien. That'd correlate with the sexual thoughts as well. Normally the r

Does Scala.js with React Native work well? I avoided it because I didn't want to complicate my stack or have to jump through hoops when reading the react docs. If it all works well I might make the jump to scala front & back...

That would be something they should discuss. Instead, by striking and getting what is a well above-average salary, it could be argued they are perpetuating the suffering of future workers to have to put up with those conditions, on account
