05:16.33freemangordonwpwrak: interrupt capable != wake-up capable :) . The point is - if iox chip is put in some kind of low-power mode, is it possible for a gpio to wake-up it?
05:19.23DocScrutinizer05yes
05:19.46DocScrutinizer05the IOX chips have no low power mode I'd know of
05:20.24DocScrutinizer05they get powered by VIO_18 which is supposed to be steady as long as the device isn't powered down
05:20.44DocScrutinizer05and they have one wkae-capable IRQ line
05:20.48DocScrutinizer05wake*
05:20.53freemangordonhmm, how that is going to affect the power usage?
05:21.03DocScrutinizer05to wake up CPU when an interrupt event pending
05:21.23freemangordonyes, i know what interrupt line is :)
05:21.24DocScrutinizer05this is how N900 works
05:21.34freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: does it?
05:21.45DocScrutinizer05I just meant to make clear the IRQ line is from chip to CPU
05:21.49DocScrutinizer05yes
05:22.09DocScrutinizer05even when CPU is in suspend, obviously all IO need power still
05:22.36freemangordonin what regard? all the chips I played with their drivers have some kind of "sleep" or "low-power" mode
05:22.44DocScrutinizer05otherwise you would have uindefined floating signal levels all over the system
05:23.08DocScrutinizer05I don't understand the question
05:23.23freemangordonlet me try to rephrase...
05:23.59DocScrutinizer05the iox chips have no significant power requirements by themselves
05:24.16DocScrutinizer05they are fully static
05:24.18freemangordonyep, that is what I meant
05:24.32DocScrutinizer05at least afaik
05:24.44freemangordonwhat are the power requirements of those iox chips
05:25.02DocScrutinizer05I can't recall off top of my head
05:25.10DocScrutinizer05<1mA I guess
05:25.23DocScrutinizer05<<1mA even
05:25.24freemangordonI didn't see that info in the document wpwrak posted
05:25.30DocScrutinizer05:-D
05:25.33DocScrutinizer05wpwrak: ^^^
05:25.55DocScrutinizer05freemangordon: goot catch
05:25.59DocScrutinizer05good*
05:27.29freemangordonthe other thing that is missing is kernel support for those chips
05:30.40freemangordonlooking at N900 schematics, only 2 out of 18 gpios of twl4030 are used
05:30.49freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: wpwrak: ^^^
05:32.14DocScrutinizer05yes, thanks
05:32.26DocScrutinizer05kernel support is a nobrainer basically
05:32.36DocScrutinizer05*even I* could write the driver
05:32.39DocScrutinizer05;-)
05:32.59freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: ever discussed using twl4030 instead of iox chip?
05:33.03DocScrutinizer05TCA9539 for example rates Icc between 0.4 and <8micro(1)A
05:33.37DocScrutinizer05for LOWER we save all the pins on B2B with dedicated iox chip
05:34.36DocScrutinizer05for UPPER we won't use any iox most likely, since we have enough GPIO and if not, we use the TWL4030 GPIO too
05:35.01DocScrutinizer05micro(!)A that is
05:35.21DocScrutinizer05oops 40µA
05:35.40freemangordonhmm, so the point is to reduce the number of needed signals going between the boards. makes sense then
05:35.43DocScrutinizer0511µA for 1.95V though
05:36.09DocScrutinizer05yep
05:36.55freemangordonok, then it shouldn;t affect life on battery by much, if at all
05:36.58DocScrutinizer05in Proto_v2 we will use way more iox since we don't have a real CPU, neither a TWL4030 (BB-xM emu brainboard)
05:38.22DocScrutinizer05so on LOWER we use the 'standard' iox we already have, on UPPER we emulate all SoC/TWL GPIO by iox
05:38.33freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: in the meanwhile https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/6/18/233
05:39.42DocScrutinizer05:-)
05:40.04DocScrutinizer05I really wish we had HSI instead SSI
05:40.24DocScrutinizer05though... :-/ Modem doesn't support either
05:40.30freemangordonbut, but, 3630 *has* hsi afaik
05:40.31DocScrutinizer05USB is a PITA
05:40.44DocScrutinizer05no, 3630 has SSI afaik
05:40.51DocScrutinizer05the slow version
05:40.53freemangordonno, it is hsi
05:40.58DocScrutinizer05o.O
05:41.04freemangordonchecks
05:42.01DocScrutinizer05not that it really matters, we have no modem using either
05:42.23DocScrutinizer05so we need to use friggin USB, not even inter-chip-USB
05:43.03freemangordonwhy not serial interface?
05:43.11DocScrutinizer05Cinterion/Gemalto goota be nuts for using USB instead of anything proper
05:43.18DocScrutinizer05Serial is too slow
05:43.26DocScrutinizer05UART that is
05:43.43DocScrutinizer05we use both in Neo900
05:43.43freemangordonhow fast do we need it to be?
05:43.51DocScrutinizer05well, see LTE
05:44.07freemangordonah
05:44.11DocScrutinizer0550Mb/s? 100?
05:44.15freemangordonyeah
05:45.03DocScrutinizer05fast LTE makes little sense when the bottleneck to SoC is throttling it to UMTS speeds anyway
05:45.16freemangordon:nod:
05:45.43freemangordonwe will have fun times when trying to optimize power usage :)
05:46.03DocScrutinizer05otoh idle UART (or H/S-SI for that) is conveniently humble on power consumption
05:46.13DocScrutinizer05yeah
05:47.01DocScrutinizer05USB is both a power hog, and terribly lazy/slow on resume from suspend
05:48.07freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: what about using mcbsp?
05:48.10DocScrutinizer05so we'll have to define a system config parameter $restart-USB-threshold  (unit bits per second)
05:48.27DocScrutinizer05the modem chip has no McBSP either
05:48.53freemangordonwith some kind of a companion chip converting UART to mcbsp
05:49.17DocScrutinizer05hmmm, dunno, possibly even the modem's UART is too slow
05:49.24freemangordonis modem capable of high-speed transfers over its serial interface?
05:49.31DocScrutinizer05^^^
05:49.40freemangordonI gues it worths checking
05:50.23freemangordonor even USB<->McBSP
05:50.37DocScrutinizer05now that doesn't make any sense at all
05:51.13freemangordonthe point is that there will be no need to keep USB bus out of sleep
05:51.24freemangordonfrom the SoC side
05:51.52DocScrutinizer05that doesn't really help much
05:52.08DocScrutinizer05we still need to suspend it to save power
05:52.32freemangordonsure, but there will be no need to wake-up USB when there is data from the modem
05:52.44DocScrutinizer05hmm right
05:53.01DocScrutinizer05err
05:53.09DocScrutinizer05really?
05:53.24DocScrutinizer05the modem needs to resume USB anyway
05:53.41DocScrutinizer05unless the modem uses some IRQ and/or UART for the data
05:54.03freemangordonimagine: [modem usb]<->[some-kind-of-exotic-chip]<->[mcbsp]
05:54.20DocScrutinizer05yes, so what about the modem<->exotic bus?
05:54.23DocScrutinizer05it's USB
05:54.43freemangordonyes, but you'll need to wake-up only modem side USB
05:54.50DocScrutinizer05so?
05:55.01freemangordonso the SoC side USB remains in sleep
05:55.08DocScrutinizer05yes, obviously
05:55.19freemangordonwouldn;t that reduce power usage?
05:55.48DocScrutinizer05err, not really since the USB still needs to resume, or will stay actibve and eat power
05:56.00freemangordonwhich USB?
05:56.03DocScrutinizer05even the modem eats lots of power with active USB
05:56.06freemangordonfrom the modem?
05:56.09freemangordonaah
05:56.28freemangordonwell, I guess it anyways eats lots of power :)
05:56.33DocScrutinizer05npo
05:56.35DocScrutinizer05no
05:56.46DocScrutinizer05in standby it eats <3mA iirc
05:57.08freemangordonwhen active I meant.
05:57.29DocScrutinizer05that's why USB doesn't matter in that situation
05:57.40DocScrutinizer05it's the transfer from idle to active that sucks
05:58.05DocScrutinizer05since it's supposedly slow
05:58.46DocScrutinizer05if we can'T suspend uSB at all, we get ENUM time for lag, and that would *really* suck, it's several seconds
05:59.06freemangordonyeah
05:59.39DocScrutinizer05luckily we got not-all-that-slow UART as backup
05:59.58DocScrutinizer05switching from UART to USB can happen on the fly
06:00.43freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: does modem usb support the so-called "remote wake-up"?
06:01.12DocScrutinizer05so any data transfer starts immediately, and after $restart-USB-threshold kicks in and USB got resumed (or even enumerated), the possible datarate jumps up from maybe 5Mb/s to 50Mb/s
06:01.57DocScrutinizer05(remote wake-up) when it supports suspend (yet unclear for LTE modem), then definitely it also will support resume
06:02.10DocScrutinizer05aka remote wake-up
06:02.38DocScrutinizer05but we also have dedicated single-wire IRQ path for such resume
06:03.53freemangordonto the modem?
06:04.02DocScrutinizer05from the modem, yes
06:04.02freemangordonah, from the modem
06:04.08freemangordonok
06:06.03DocScrutinizer05iirc the whole suspend crap with USB is done via VBUS
06:06.43DocScrutinizer05so when host (re-)supplies VBUS, the modem's USB should come up anyway
06:07.46DocScrutinizer05the probelm iirc was that OMAP side doesn't know how to resume USB-host when peripheral resumes by applying VBUS, since that's not anything normal for a USB-host to detect externally applied VBUS
06:08.39DocScrutinizer05but when we stay in control of resuming USB anyway, we also don't need that
06:08.56freemangordonDocScrutinizer05: well, if the way "to" suspend modem USB is by removing VBUS, then it won;t follow the normal suspend/resume USB functionality
06:09.01DocScrutinizer05since then it's CPU to decide when to resume
06:09.28freemangordonis modem connected to a dedicated USB interface?
06:09.32DocScrutinizer05yes
06:10.07freemangordonthen why removing VBUS instead of doing normal USB suspend/resume?
06:10.38DocScrutinizer05sorry, I right now have no clue what's "the normal USB suspend"
06:11.07DocScrutinizer05we discussed that for GTA04 already, several years ago
06:11.13DocScrutinizer05I forgot the details
06:11.16freemangordonsee http://www.usbmadesimple.co.uk/ums_3.htm, dunno if everything there is correct, but sounds legit
06:11.30DocScrutinizer05could you give a summary?
06:11.51freemangordonthere is, see the link ^^^
06:12.00DocScrutinizer05sorry, tl;dr
06:12.52DocScrutinizer05I just know that OMAP doesn't support suspending the USB core and the ULPI and PHY, since there's no wkae line from PHY to SoC
06:12.52freemangordonjust search for "suspend" on that page
06:13.15DocScrutinizer05rather, it doesn't support resume
06:13.32DocScrutinizer05afaik
06:13.35freemangordonhm
06:13.40DocScrutinizer05or better: iirc
06:14.35freemangordonfrom 3730 TRM: "Supports suspend/resume and remote wakeup"
06:14.37DocScrutinizer05whatever, our hw will provide sufficient alternative ways to deal with that
06:14.54freemangordonwell, "36xx" TRM
06:15.49DocScrutinizer05great! then only pint missing is: does LTE modem actually support suspend/resume?
06:15.58DocScrutinizer05point*
06:16.03freemangordonit should, if it is USB certified :)
06:16.20DocScrutinizer05and: is the power consumption actually low enough during suspend?
06:16.47freemangordon"A suspended device may                draw no more than 0.5 mA from Vbus."
06:17.08DocScrutinizer05meh, the modem doesn't draw power from VBUS at all
06:17.17DocScrutinizer05it has its own power supply
06:17.18freemangordon"If a device is configured                    for high power (up to 500 mA), and has its remote wakeup feature                    enabled, it is allowed to draw up to 2.5mA during suspend."
06:17.42freemangordonboth currents look ok to me
06:18.10DocScrutinizer05and in LTE modem TRM, the Vcc power consumption for USB suspend is missing
06:18.24freemangordonlink?

06:24.07freemangordonhmm, it seems the modem is full-speed device, not high-speed
06:24.39DocScrutinizer05wut?
06:25.23freemangordon"PLS8-E supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface that is Full Speed (12Mbit/s) compliant."
06:25.50DocScrutinizer05compliant, yes
06:25.56freemangordon"The USB host is responsible for supplying the VUSB_IN line. This line is for voltage detection only. "
06:26.03freemangordonso no power usage on USB

11:12.01wpwrak(standby current) the XRA1201 has max 1 uA at 1.8 V. 50 uA is I2C is active.
11:25.52wpwrak(AHS3/ALS3) what's the role of these modules related to our project ?
11:29.50DocScrutinizer05gooxd question
11:30.34DocScrutinizer05to me it almost looks like A is the new P
11:30.43DocScrutinizer05and 3=8
11:31.06DocScrutinizer05same formfactor, similar specs...
11:32.44DocScrutinizer05very interesting are the band specs for ALS3, which are like "NEMEA, NORAM, dunnowhat"
11:34.44DocScrutinizer05it sucks that no decent specs at all are available for the A*S3 sweries
11:34.54DocScrutinizer05not even size is easy to find out
11:36.27DocScrutinizer05bartolomjei is funny, pointing at ALS3 when somebody asks about the pinout of PLS8 (re dual SIM)
11:38.46DocScrutinizer05well, given the EU regulations according to which *each* new car in EU needs built-in WWAN for emergency cals etc, I can see how Gemalto is doing a slight focus shift for their products ;-)
11:39.38DocScrutinizer05from "10% of all trucks (for fleet management)" towards "every car sold in EU"
11:40.30DocScrutinizer05the pathetic docs availability is just one fallout of that focus shift I guess
11:41.40DocScrutinizer05I'm pretty sure their complete documentation team is busy preparing whitepapers and TRMs for VW, Opel, Mercedes, younameit
11:41.59enychrrm today is the UK in/out of EU referendum

12:16.17enycDocScrutinizer05: you said something in IRC at least about pyra feedback  being useful for neo900
12:16.51enycDocScrutinizer05: its' been a while since post on neo900.org ...
12:18.22Arch-TKI wonder if the UK leaving the EU would affect the cost of me (a person living in the UK) buying a Neo900
12:18.46Arch-TKAlso, DocScrutinizer05: What do you think about the mandatory "put wwan in every car" ?
12:19.14Arch-TKI think it sounds a lot like: "We want to be able to know where every car is at any time, and you get automatic calls when you crash."
12:23.45Arch-TKIt sounds like this "ECall" is being implemented by some private company which also begs the question: Why another mandatory black-box technology which nobody can audit?
12:25.12enycArch-TK: we need EU legislation on requring open source auditable  such things????
12:26.09Arch-TKyes, but it seems that influencing what legislations are proposed is difficult, the only thing "we" can do is influence who we put in the EU parliament to vote for/against the legislations.
12:26.42Arch-TKcertainly an EU legislation like that would be a major step forward.
12:27.40Arch-TKIf the main focus of these things is "saving people's lives" that's great, but it would not be difficult to at the same time respond to the issue of privacy by simply making legislations to ensure all implementations are publicly auditable.
12:28.00Arch-TKBut that wont happen because companies can make money out of competing on how quickly and how well they can save your life.
12:29.23Arch-TKthey don't want to be forced to open their implementations because then their "magic life saving sauce" will get out
12:29.47Arch-TKand therefore there's always going to be that pressure on the EU not to do such things.

12:31.38DocScrutinizer05nope. This is public:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECall#Concept
12:32.06DocScrutinizer05there's basically little to audit in the whole thing
12:32.35XiaomanYou could argue anybody going against opening up technology for that life saving purpose, so as to get the best quality possible, is actually harming people
12:35.35DocScrutinizer05the call is to 112 which is public emergency dispatch number, and the protocol obviously is so open that even Russia jumped in with a 100% compatible system
12:40.21Arch-TKright, the protocol and the concept, but what about the implementation?
12:40.50Arch-TKWouldn't it be easy to back door such things?
12:42.23DocScrutinizer05it's a normal phone
12:42.53wpwrakArch-TK: as i understand it, even the people of the UK show the EUrocrats the middle finger, it'll take several years until such a separation would actually have to be implemented.
12:42.56Arch-TKso there's no new backdoor potential that people aren't already aware of?
12:42.56DocScrutinizer05of course it's as bad as all wireless connected to the car's databus
12:43.01DocScrutinizer05http://www.imobilitysupport.eu/about-ecall/european-ecall-implementation-platform-eeip
12:43.07wpwrakArch-TK: so i think nothing changes for your Neo900 :)
12:43.32Arch-TKcool
12:44.05Arch-TKI need to accumulate some money, add more to my downpayment and also increase it so I can change to purchasing the neo900 (not just NeoN)
12:44.06DocScrutinizer05effects of brexit are expected to be immediate
12:44.42Arch-TKWell, I'm really curious what really would happen in case of a brexit.
12:44.57wpwrakbtw, the parliament (that you elect) has very little power. it's the commission (that they appoint) that takes the decisions.
12:45.04DocScrutinizer05first, the GBP goes down
12:45.38Arch-TKhmm... maybe I should convert my savings to EU or bitcoin or something.
12:46.04DocScrutinizer05seems several of your fellow residents already did during the last daqys
12:46.27DocScrutinizer05according to TV news there were queues at banks
12:47.11wpwraki'd expect the EUR to suffer a lot more. and that in turn will boost the GBP. see what happened with CHF when the EUR tanked. switzerland had to adopt exchange restrictions argentina-style to halt the stampede. (in this case, towards the CHF)
12:47.25DocScrutinizer05LOL nope
12:47.39Arch-TKand in the case of no exit, what do you think would happen to the EU vs GBP?
12:47.53Arch-TKEUR*
12:47.59DocScrutinizer05not much
12:48.10Arch-TKHmm... Maybe I should move all my savings to bitcoin overnight
12:48.11wpwrakEUR slightly up, i guess. for a bit, until the next trouble.
12:48.16Arch-TKbitcoin is unlikely to crash overnight
12:48.31Arch-TKI bet coinbase has some idiotic restrictions against doing things overnight though...
12:49.19DocScrutinizer05why would the EUR suffer from a brexit?
12:49.29wpwraki wouldn't expect any major medium-term changes. brexit or no, people will wake up tomorrow, see that the sun still rises in the east, go about their work, and soon normality will set in
12:49.36DocScrutinizer05and how would that help the GBP?
12:50.23wpwrakbut it would be a very welcome message for brussels. tell them that that clever plan for optimizing away democracy isn't going to work.
12:50.25DocScrutinizer05wpwrak: again incorrect. At work they will notice uncertainty about what will be their order book in 2 years from now
12:51.46wpwrakEUR will suffer because a major contributor is leaving EU. weak EUR -> money flows to a stronger currency. GBP seems convenient then. (and the swiss will probably get a little nervous, again :)
12:52.09DocScrutinizer05and yes, EU economy will suffer as well, but way less than GB economy will suffer
12:52.30DocScrutinizer05major contributor?
12:52.43DocScrutinizer05GB is a major annoyance
12:53.42wpwraka lot in the UK is finances and such. if they even cared about streamlining with the EU, they'd have adopted the EUR long ago. so i don't think they're particularly worried.
12:54.15DocScrutinizer05and though GB pays more than they get back (just like germany, only a faction of what germany does), GB negotiated a 66% payback of all their payments to EU
12:54.31wpwrakand in any case, look a switzerland. no EU, no EUR. yet it's not exactly a nation-wide slum, is it ? ;-)
12:54.42DocScrutinizer05haha, ask london bankers if they're not worried
12:55.31DocScrutinizer05and swizerland is absolutely irrelevant here
12:55.41wpwrakalso, changing regulations mean that a lot of people get to charge their clients more ;-)
12:56.00DocScrutinizer05huh?
12:57.05DocScrutinizer05London is EU's and worldwide money hotspot. When GB leaves EU, London isn't EU either, so many companies will reconsider where to have their office
12:58.06DocScrutinizer05no surpirse you hardly get any pro-brexit notion in London banker's community
12:58.09end1furthermore scotland is likely to leave UK
12:58.16DocScrutinizer05exactly
12:58.20DocScrutinizer05:-)
12:58.28wpwrakend1: yes, that would be the fun part ;-)
12:58.42end1wpwrak: at least not for the rest of the UK
12:58.42Arch-TKcertainly the whole thing would be interesting
12:58.57wpwrakend1: also for the signal that would sent to the other "independence" movements
12:59.10Arch-TKMight not be in the best spectator position, being an EU national living in the UK, but it certainly would be interesting to see the effects of a brexit.
12:59.16end1independent North Ireland and Wales will be funny
12:59.19end1but not for england
12:59.26end1as scotland and the others will join the EU
12:59.39end1and englands economy is likely to be crushed
13:00.13Arch-TKcrush!!!
13:00.15DocScrutinizer05analysts anyway expect immediate impact on the GBP, and a economic cutdown in the range of 5 to 10% (iirc) during the next 2 years (which happens to be exactly the timespan England has to implement the exit)
13:00.31wpwrakDocScrutinizer05: the bankers favour governments they can influence. of course they're pro-EU, with its two-level representative "democracy".
13:00.46DocScrutinizer05yayaya
13:00.58end1democracy isn't always good
13:01.14end1when hitler was elected, most germans voted for him
13:01.16DocScrutinizer05they favor good business over uncertainty and economic decay, that's why
13:01.19end1same with many dictators
13:01.27end1guess erdogan was elected too ;)
13:01.47DocScrutinizer05he was
13:03.07end1but idc
13:03.40end1if they want to see destruction, they will
13:04.16wpwrakend1: yeah, democracy has its flaws. especially bad in the representative form. that's what i favour direct democracy. if the government starts doing crazy things, the people can immediately stop it.
13:04.39end1that's not working either
13:04.41end1the problem is
13:04.52end1people can be influenced by charismatic people / politicians
13:05.04end1the mass of the people is stupid
13:05.09end1if not all
13:05.10wpwrakend1: but EU has two layers of representation: first national (which you elect), and then they appoint the commission. so, as a voter, you have basically no control over that.
13:05.23end1wpwrak: i know
13:05.30end1the system is bad
13:05.52end1still, leaving it would destroy things
13:05.58DocScrutinizer05that doesn't mean destructing it will make stuff better
13:06.20wpwrakend1: yes, as an austrian living in argentina, i'm quite aware of populism, first from the history books, then for the last decade from daily life :)
13:07.16DocScrutinizer05wpwrak: you got something wrong there. EU parliament is directly elected
13:07.29DocScrutinizer05so no 2 levels of representation
13:08.05DocScrutinizer05I agree however that you as voter have little to no control
13:08.30wpwraki think the fears about a brexit are greatly exaggerated. it's not as if they'd move to a different galaxy. there'll be bilateral contacts that regulate all the important points. again, look at switzerland. there aren't a lot of obstacles between EU and CH. the main thing is immigration. but for business it's pretty smooth.
13:08.44DocScrutinizer05and that's a very recent concern and movement to transfer more competence to the EU parliament and away from commission
13:09.09DocScrutinizer05*shrug*
13:09.15DocScrutinizer05I don't care
13:09.24wpwrakDocScrutinizer05: yes, but the parliament has no power. they can voice their disapproval or make suggestions, but that's about it. if the commission doesn't like their ideas, it can just ignore them.
13:09.54wpwrakDocScrutinizer05: but the structure is very clever
13:10.10DocScrutinizer05likewise the parliament can ignore the commission's law proposals
13:10.16wpwrak(recent concern) well, let's see how that goes
13:11.25DocScrutinizer05and before GB wil have bilateral regulations they first drop out of all the EU vs foreign contracts
13:12.34wpwrak(brexit) in any case, it's hard to convince people to make a change. so i'd be a bit surprised if the brexit actually happens. also, in that ~2 years transition period, there would be opportunities to revert it.
13:12.56DocScrutinizer05im/export EU<->GB suddenly is undefined and sibject to get very problemstic, and the uncertainty about that particular subject already hass *massive* impact on GB's economy
13:13.01DocScrutinizer05has*
13:13.21DocScrutinizer05no revert
13:13.37wpwrakDocScrutinizer05: nothing would change the day after the brexit is decided. again, there's a transition period, with plenty of time to settle such things.
13:13.39DocScrutinizer05when brexit gets decided, GB IS and will STAY out of EU
13:14.23DocScrutinizer05again, such transition period is exactly 2 years and impact of uncertainty is immediate and massive
13:15.42hellekinI'm for UK GTFO.  They were *never* fully part of the EU.  I campaigned and voted against the Euro Zone in 1992 for the reason UK had so many exceptions.
13:15.46DocScrutinizer05nobody will order any big thing behind the frontier when they don't know if they can import it in 2 years
13:16.16DocScrutinizer05hellekin: ack
13:16.42wpwrakDocScrutinizer05: nobody will order something from china because there's too much uncertainty, given that it's not in the EU ;-)
13:16.53DocScrutinizer05indeed
13:17.50DocScrutinizer05I'm still happy I have to physically travel to china to import a 500 devices without getting raped
13:18.29DocScrutinizer05seems that's been my point
13:18.37DocScrutinizer05thanks
13:20.31wpwrakat what time are results expected ?
13:20.36DocScrutinizer05btw when you think I'm talking outa my rear end: I'm just quoting experts
13:20.54hellekinlol
13:21.07wpwrakwhat could possibly go wrong there ;-)
13:21.08Arch-TKwpwrak: 4am
13:21.25wpwrakwow. that's late.
13:21.31DocScrutinizer05yeah, what could prolly go wrong with you having a better idea
13:21.38Arch-TKsomething preliminary at 00:30 or something
13:21.50DocScrutinizer05after all you see the stuff from a distance that brings clear vision
13:22.40wpwrakso, 10 hours to wait. let's see what happens :)
13:23.19Arch-TKwell, telegraph says between 4am and 7am
13:23.20DocScrutinizer05you won't see results much earlier than now+16h
13:23.50DocScrutinizer05yeah, in the morning
13:24.56DocScrutinizer05since supposedly it's very 50/50 undecided and thus will take until last few 1000 ballots are counted
13:25.35DocScrutinizer05might be surprisingly clear and thus early results though. Nobody knows for sure
13:26.08DocScrutinizer05all statistics and polls were terribly wrong during the last few elections in GB
13:26.41DocScrutinizer05so nobody gives a damn about what those prophets say
13:28.27DocScrutinizer05wisdom of the masses says brexit will fail. 70+% think it will
13:30.31DocScrutinizer05or wait, was that still one too few indirection? was the correct best-results question "what do you estimate *others would guess* what the result will be"?
13:34.03DocScrutinizer05anyway average of last three polls was "55% contra brexit". poll for "do you think brexit will succeed" was ~70+% that it will fail

13:36.00DocScrutinizer05then the crystal ball querying started and they evaluate how much the weather today may have impact on the results (pro brexit due to many young people and the less fanatic EU friendly not going to vote)
13:38.14DocScrutinizer05sounds about correct, particularly when normalized as "how many people would say that others do believe the brexit will fail ?"
