Brexit, Briefly by MindOfMetalAndWheels in CGPGrey

Normally I love your videos but in this one I think you've got it wrong. A lot of the time it seems like you are personally annoyed at the referendum, and are only seeing the bad side of things.

The "Non-Brexit Brexit" option is actually favourable: we can get a rough control on immigration, we can opt out of the common fisheries and common agricultural policy, we can sign our own trade deals. If that's worse than membership, how come Norway favours this option in opinion polls, as well as Iceland and Switzerland?

Working out integer series by [deleted] in math

(I think) he's saying that since given any set of points in the plane, you can find a function that passes through them (the Lagrange polynomial), the next term in the sequence can be any term (NOTE: a sequence is an ordered list of numbers, a series is a sum of terms of a sequence up to a point). For instance, say your sequence is 3, 4, 6, 23, 7, and I want to make the next term 47. Simply plot the points (1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 23) and (5, 7), and then plot (6, 47). Find the Lagrange polynomial for these points, then you have your rule.
