My manager, who's an ex-pat, thinks it could be done in six weeks, though Christmas and NYE are in the mix....
]]>I'd be astounded if May went for a second referendum.
She could, of course, just rescind Article 50.
Either of those would bring the Government down. The second would mean Corbyn would have to stay in the EU even if he won the ensuing General Election - which is not clear, IMO.
Her deal isn't viable at present. Later, maybe.
No deal, IMO, would make the Tories unelectable for a generation. She knows that.
I think the only option she's got is to stall, and try again in January.
]]>Maybe not in entirety but there is pressure on creating AI that will serve very personal human needs e.g., personalized AI psychotherapy. So even if all of a human's attributes are not contained within one AI/robot, if that AI/robot is required to continually interact with a human then it will have to emulate a human to some degree. Therefore a baseline standard should be determined in advance of selling these things to everybody.
My concern is whether the current crop of researchers are looking for and identifying where the likeliest cognitive and behavioral divergences between human and AI/robot are likely to occur. Not knowing can be very hazardous and is true of any technology - electricity, antobiotics, AI, CrispR, etc.

I'm afraid this is one of those cases where the old do not understand the new. And yes, that's 6+ million new followers in under a month (he's having a competition with some India YTs and raising money - $200k+ for Indian charities, part of his actually genuine apology for the entire "hold up nasty signs" saga. To say we're unimpressed with the Alt-Right / 'Gaming Press' attacks is a little bit of an understatement. Did America oversee the de-Nazification process, or was that some other country?)
It just means there has to be some more tweaks and some proper lobster slapping since the two camps from the USA are unable to exist without mutual symbiosis (you won't know what this means - Squirrel Eyes will).
]]>We generally give a shit about the alternatives to him, which are, let us say, a little more virulently fascist. The guy has lucked into huge responsibilities that he doesn't deserve and he's better than most of the alternatives.
So it took you about 3 or 4 years to reach "Get off My Lawn!"
No, of course it didn't. Romping around copying the language of the UK media press[1] and generally insulting Times journalists and MI5 is just to sprig their cheese submarines[2]; we can honestly say that we've not called a single Human a "twat" in the last 75 years in any person capacity. Oh, and Piers Morgan is "cheesing it" over to the USA to support Trump, which probably means he's up to his eyes in Mafia debts or Triad gambling dockets[3].
If you want a really complex ecology analogy, for sure, we can give it.
When the plurality of Americans under 35 cannot leave their parent's house for economic, social or medical reasons, it's pretty difficult for them to form the equivalent of a proletariat either
Yes, which is going to be explosive in about two years time.
To return briefly to France[4]: the yellow vests are a symptom, but one that won't burn out in some vague riots (RU bellows or not, which certainly exist, but pretending that almost every clued up radical was hot-footing it over there[5] is pure myopia) - it's a societal mode that has a lot of history. But one thing you should note (not that any in the UK / USA seem to have bothered to do) is that their targeting of infrastructure is banal (speed cameras, a few cars which is basically French Christmas post 1997 and some blockages - wait until the farmers get started). Say what you want about Le Penn etc, but at least it's a tradition with limits (they won't, for instance, start progroms in the banlieue without a lot more prodding).
American kids tend to do the entire solo-shooter routine. But that was pre-Fortnite and so on.
Authoritarians rarely see the Next Level[tm] of protest. You might be surprised at what new modelling teaches children about vulnerabilities. Fortnite is about building stuff, but more importantly, working out how to tear down the other people's buildings in a frenetic 4D space that rewards inventiveness. i.e. kiss goodbye to your power transformers, networks etc within 10ms of them rampaging.
So, no: not old, having to run the ancient wetware of UK media journos which is tiring. Spooks are worse.

@Host: apparently Rees-Mooog was almost in tears and/or emotional over the outcome of his father's dream in tatters while AF Neil was Prime Time[tm] to "grill them". Many of UK peoples have found this cathartic. May it sooth your spirit, if so inclined.

On a larger level, we've been trying parse out the larger feminist / TERF / "we're not TERFS" / *trans stuff being played (again: hello. The Times. -.- ) with knowledge of some Scottish witches who are, let us say, not 100% convinced at the plays of Capitalist +Trans+ ideology (for good reasons).
There are ways through it, and given that there's traumatized humans all over this space who are being actively encouraged to tear each other to shreds, it's not a 'fun' space. It doesn't help that garnering your hides with monsters is an easy way to Other.
But... I fear that is not something we're capable of. (Well. Are we the Young YA Prince who destroyed the realm, tore out eyes? Probably not, hello Oglaf).
But it's a lot of trauma to take in as you read 15,000,000 tweets in a few hours.

CTRL+F "Queen".
No joke.
There are many studies that show the economic / social impact of her death (that she might live until 105, of course) and the market / sharks / media all know it. It's an instant hit, and if you combined that with a hard no deal exit...
You'd have to be mighty mighty cynical to bet your Brexit Punt on it, however[1]. Or a sociopath. Or a revolutionary. Or a Dragon.
Be wery wery careful what you wish for.

Never let it be said that the writers don't have a huge sense of irony. Or their budget is shot to pieces.
p.s.
The UK loony right Zionist club are becoming an issue in Africa (and they vastly overestimate their credentials or costs). Congo / links above. Someone reign in their buffoonish dogs before coyotes and servals are called in. That's not a polite or friendly request; the Americans are pulling Trump's friends over it (NYC / Payoff maester), IL billionaires and so on and Fr and a lot of Spec OPs as well in the mix.
It's just really fucking dull having to pretend that the UK twitterati Zion Warriors aren't a fucking shameful embarrassment as they enter the geopolitical realms. Someone, please muzzle them, it's fucking complex shit up, hmmm, k?

]]>Had she lost, she would have had to resign, triggering a leadership election under Con Party rules. These are complicated, and call for several rounds of run-offs, depending on how many candidates are nominated (they're also a bit academic for anyone not a member of the Con Party to bother remembering).
The eventual "winner" (for certain values of winner) would become Leader of the Con Party, and PM of the UK.
]]>(*) It's unclear the likely candidates are entirely human.
]]>It’s also academic (in the context of Brexit) in that whoever found themselves “winning” the musical chairs competition which is the Conservative leadership election process would be hostage to the same entrenched factionalism, religious zealotry, and cynical bandwagon jumping inside and outside of the Conservative party as May has been for her entire term as PM, and equally vulnerable to the “no deal is better than any deal” sect of Brexitry using and abusing parliamentary procedure to filibuster their way to their desired outcome.
I honestly don’t see any remotely sensible way out at this point and whatever happens I fully expect every single aspect of British political life (and probably quite a few things outside it) to be poisoned by the fallout for a generation... It’ll be like NI, only instead of every single question, every single decision, and every single appointment being viewed through the “Unionist or Republican” funhouse distorting mirror we’ll have “Brexiteer or Remainer” as the divide.
]]>I (maybe) foresee both main parties splitting, actually, the tories along Brexit lines with the US-style republicans forming a "new UKIP" & the right of labour fleeing Corbyn's Venzuelan tendencies ... we might even get a Social Democratic party - we should be so lucky!
More realistically, a second Referendum is getting more likely ... But would "Remain" win this time? I hope so.
]]>Too late. Enough of the fundamentalist Brexists would regard a second referendum (regardless of result) as (in their warped terms) a betrayal that it would simply redouble the bile-spitting hysteria. I’d give it three months before the first would-be Thomas Mair[1] came out of the woodwork...
“But would "Remain" win this time? I hope so.”
It really doesn’t matter anymore. The damage is done and, (while I’d hope for a healthy margin for remain too) EU membership or otherwise is almost irrelevant in comparison with the lasting effects the first referendum, the preceding campaign, and its aftermath have had on the National state of Mental Health.
