"The ERG haven't yet cottoned on but it is their intransigence which may well see us not leave on 29 March"
But later on:
"The people they [business] really need to blame will be those who throughout this process...have tried to frustrate the democratic vote of June 23 2016."
For the 2nd quote, one has to read the full run-up to it which starts: "if we don't leave the EU on 29th March democracy will have dimmed. Many people will see it as an establishment agenda to totally thwart Brexit."

So it's Brexiteer intransigence causing delay. Until it isn't
A great example of how Brexit supporters are in an awful muddle over May's Deal (which they hate) and the need to exit on time (which they want).
Brexiteers know they'll be to blame if exit is delayed but they will simply blame others.

Some people still don't understand that walking away from UK/EU negotiations does *not* mean carrying on with the status quo.
I've had a look around the Leave bubble this morning and it's not just the twits at LeaveEU. This 'Trump/Kim parallel' seems to be being widely made/echoed.
I will add that entering the Leave bubble (via another Twitter account) is such a depressing experience. Truth and lies all blended together.
They are truly lost among themselves.

Is it just possible that like some of us Maastricht sceptics for whom 2016 was a chance to vote on unfinished business "after the fact", perhaps those provoked by the post-2004 wave of immigration used the 2016 vote in a similar "after the fact" way?
If so, the answer is to have greater direct democracy on governance issues and on societal change issues *at the point they arise*.

Quelling issues so they fester just threatens a bigger blow-out further down the line.
That comes back to reconnecting the governed with governors.... which was the point of the Leave vote.

This is right. May will now usher MPs to the harder deadline (but still not a drop-dead deadline) unless she is stopped, which she may well be, meaning those EU elections could well happen,
The stalemate would then see UK still in the EU in an ante room, potentially for years...
Some irony that it's "Leave means Leave" who are first out the traps preparing legal action to ensure the Euro elections happen.... thus softening the new cliff edge.... thus keeping us in for much much longer....
There are sometimes advantages with groups not having a plan or a clue what they are doing beyond shouting and waving pitch forks

Here’s a little lesson in business registration for my US and Jamaican followers:

Most US companies are gusteres in Delaware because it has the most favourable laws for businesses AND “has a separate Court of Chancery to hear cases involving corporate law”

No corp taxes either
Just read this - delawareinc.com/blog/facebook-…

Jamaica is nothing like the USA.

I can register in a different state and do business across each state with certain registrations and/or licenses. The USA is a union of individual states.
Most entrepreneurs setup an S Corp or an LLC in their home state, mine is Florida (no personal income taxes so a pass-through entity is preferred and we have Homestead Exemption too).

But that is just at the startup phase to keep over head low.

So the new foldable phones have “seen” Apple’s price increases and “raised” them quite a bit. Having literally just contradicted my earlier statements & bought an iPhone XS Max on AT&T Friday, here’s the “real” context on market pricing & what it means when these phones ship.
Huawei just took Apple’s spot at the most expensive spot in the market, with a legit device that can be both a phone and a tablet, without looking like you’re holding an iPad to your face. That is significant, because Apple devices are grossly-overpowered for “smartphones”.
Most people don’t really *need* this processing power in their pocket on a daily basis. Your Facebook/Twitter/Insta feeds are not that intense.

As these devices are getting PC powerful, the form factor is now the limiting factor.

So how does pricing come into play?

Even more gold from @BESResearch -- while I do think that online opinion polls are generally extremely problematic due to the likely significant selection bias that it introduces, there is still some signal in the data that tells us about the nature of #leave support in 2016.
Waves 7/8 asked participants what they expect how the EU referendum is going to pan out... i.e. it asked what probability respondents attach to a #Leave vote, some subsequent waves ask whether people regret how they vote.
20 - 30% of respondents stated the probability of a #Leave success is less than 40%. Now, the nice thing is the BES also subsequently asked, how people voted and whether they regret how they voted -- it asks whether people are #remainernow

People close to me know I will nerd out over productivity tools. There’s a reason I’ve always gravitated towards building productivity software. It’s very personal. Because everyone has their own way of feeling productive, and it’s subjective by nature. It’s very human-centric.
To me, software has always been about helping humans be better. I like technology, and I personally enjoy the activity of writing code for it’s own sake. But it’s only valuable and impactful when connected to human desires.
In that context, productivity tools also embody the ultimate promise of software as a medium for me. In some sense, software is an infinite resource. It is legitimately possible for everyone to have bespoke software that works the way that’s best *for them*.

Best plan for the @MiamiDolphins moving forward:

Find a new head of the organization on the football side

Give him the power to select all players and give him a mandate to find a true franchise QB.
Let him interview Case. If Gase is willing to give up play calling duties, change DC, and give a new QB a change (rookie or FA), then Gase can stay (with no ability to pick players). Otherwise, Gase can go as well.
When it comes to the draft, this new head needs to pick a QB in the 1st or 2nd round unless a quality FA shakes out. Otherwise, pick fast, smart, and physical players.

So this is what I just watched go down in Springvale. I just wanted to grab some fuel and a bite to eat! *THREAD*

I'm driving down Springvale Rd when I see a huge plume of thick white smoke cover the street and surrounding area, I had no idea what was causing it or where it was,
but the amount of smoke meant there was clearly something wrong. I immediately pull over and dial 000 and ask for the fire brigade to attend. While on the phone I'm told they have another call who says a car has crashed and it is a car fire,
so I move the car a bit closer and get out to see if I can get a better look. I was on the other side of a busy road so I didn't want to just run across.

I see all the damage done by the car but can't see the car where it really should be, that's because the car is still moving,
