@KitZ.Fox The betting circuits are the most accurate because they have real skin in the game. For journalists, it's all about making the horse race as interesting as possible, rather than giving a spoiler for the last chapter.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 It is better to follow the blog posts on that Guardian live blog: they take into account what is expected of a certain district and how the actual results vary from that, and how the variance impacts total predictions.
Although even those are extremely uncertain at this moment.
@Mitch I don't know...

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Very unlikely.
@Mitch Oh, yes, it all depends on what kind of work they do.

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Exactly. all those people taking off from work to go to the bank.
 
Cerberus

For many people, their work partly entails being someone else's customer.
 
Mitch
Mitch
it does leave out business to business people
but who are all those people walking around, driving down the street, visiting all those businesses? Are they taking off time from work? Are they unemployed? do they all work at night and then the day workers go get services from those people working at night?
 
Cerberus
Cerberus
In many lines of work, people are not sitting in their offices all day long, but have errands to run, meetings to attend, etc.
Then there are students, the elderly...
Artists.
The various free professions.
People with flexible hours.

They work at the weekend and in the evening?
 
Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Lots of people who work in customer-facing jobs don't work 9-5 because their customers are only present before or after that
traditionally there was also half the adult population unemployed
@Cerberus Well, there have been several threats to it recently

@Cerberus Ooh, cheaper relative prices for hotels in London!! Woo hoo!
Except when you get there you'd have to eat British food.
You know what the problem with British food is@MattE.Эллен? it's that the best British food is actually Scottish food.

Brexit happened because 52% of Brits finally grew some balls and admitted to what 8 billion people around them had known for decades.
Like, the US holding a referendum where 52% say they don't believe in evolution. Shrug.
The only one sad thing about this affair is that 48% of Brits are selfish millenial pansies who would prefer to lie that they are somehow in the EU when they clearly aren't. Just so they can gentrificate to death one Berlin after another. Now all they can do is go back to London and gentrificate Matt's kitchen some more.

@VitaminC I got your request. I feel you should be patient and wait, so I'm going to respectfully decline. You should feel free to ask another mod if you want.
"You can't feed a society exaggeration, hyperbole and propaganda for over a decade, and then claim surprise when people don't seem to be making rational decisions on the basis of well established truth.

There's a cost associated with not telling the truth. There's a cost associated with polarized, adversarial public discourse. There's a cost associated with media more concerned with profits than the public interest.

It is, apparently, time to pay the piper."

> According to Google Trends, there was a 250 percent spike in searches for “what happens if we leave the EU” around midnight British time, which is after the voting ended and presumably around the time global currencies went wild and Scotland started saying again it didn’t want to be part of the UK anymore.
This is in support of "the Brits didn't know want they were voting for", but it doesn't show who was googling. Maybe the rest of the EU was wondering.

@Mitch Look, some of my best answers are on SWRs. Those are the good ones. I think you'll agree that there are good SWRs and bad SWRs, and quite frankly, the bad ones should just be deleted. They don't belong here.

@MattE.Эллен while I'm logging bugs against your work, might I suggest that it compute its work in relation to the size of the canvas, so that it can work on smaller canvases?

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 that sounds hard. I thought about it, too, but it would need antialiasing stuff in there

@MattE.Эллен oh, wait, the canvas is used as a background element on the document. ah, so you could set the width of the body and set the background attachment or fill or whatever so that the browser resizes it

I always have to look up how to attach backgrounds

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 oh! yeah then do it on resize. use the css rule to stop x repeating. it will still have a problem, because it uses the width of the canvas to determine how many pixels in the width of a rainbow. you could fix that with some cleverish maths, but I don't want to do that right now. maybe later.

it's weird that in "DRℓ-monoids" the D and R and ℓ are part of an acronym (dually residuated lattice ordered monoids), but it isn't written DRL monoids... wikipedia suggests that the ℓ is meant to represent a more easily-disambiguated L...
