Money is largely created by commercial banks. Let me quote from a 2014 report by Bank of England titled "Money creation in the modern economy."[0] Follows selection of excerpts from the report's Overview section.

"In the modern economy, most money takes the form of bank
deposits. But how those bank deposits are created is often
misunderstood: the principal way is through commercial
banks making loans."

"Money creation in practice differs from some popular misconceptions — banks do not act simply as intermediaries, lending out deposits that savers place with them, and nor do they ‘multiply up’ central bank money to create new loans and deposits."

"Rather than banks receiving deposits when households
save and then lending them out, bank lending creates
deposits."

"The amount of money created in the economy ultimately depends on the monetary policy of the central bank. In normal times, this is carried out by setting interest rates. The central bank can also affect the amount of money directly through purchasing assets or ‘quantitative easing’."

I recommend reading the whole report. It is meant to be readable by the non-academic and is not dumbed down either. The report is part of Bank of England's Quarterly Bulletin from 2014[1], it contains other similar articles like "Money in the modern economy: an introduction."

I don't immediately see why he is not just using NULL for nil but Interim is nonetheless more conventional than it may seem. It does use nil for '() (see [1]) and it evaluates (car nil) to nil and (cdr nil) to nil just like Common Lisp does. The last element of a list may be nil because list elements always appear in car positions whereas it is always the cdr position that one checks to identify the end of the list. If you walk a list without checking for nil, then you will appear to find a list that ends with an unending sequence of nil elements (as is the tradition!). For example, try (third nil) in Common Lisp; you will see a result of nil and no error.

I don't have a strong opinion on the that law, but it's just not true that most muslim organisations in Austria support it. Their official representatives, the IGGÖ are rather critical[1], the muslim youth of Austria strongly opposed it[2]. Both links are in german, sorry.

But you are, of course, right that this law has nothing to do with war refugees entering austria.

The demographic 'shock', particularly "upside-down aging pyramids" isn't a problem - it's actually the primary benefit of this migration. "Upside-down aging pyramids" are a problem for us - as the population tends towards older, we have more tax-drains (increasing medical requirements, increasing retirement costs) and less tax-feeders. 18-30yo men, what in another age would have been our definition of eligible conscripts, are exactly the injection required.

Integration is a concern, yes. Language barriers I'm fine with - this is Europe, I don't speak German either - but perhaps the path from temporary to permanent residency needs to be a bit more than paperwork. Some form of (non-military) national service may be ideal.

Germany has a fantastic track-record of vocational / apprenticeship-based education. Perhaps if we can mix such a model with some other requirements (eg, local language), a path could be laid where they not only work for their benefits & contribute back, but also offer a future for them, their family, and a continent that's begging for young blood.

I don't think it's anything to do with "ways of the west", but simply ensuring there's some sort of future ahead of them. Running water stays fresh, standing water grows stagnant.

Pssst, don't tell any Syrian friend, but we only pretend to close the borders. We only control the Autobahn-routes, not the smaller streets, and we control miles behind the border, meaning that refugees are already in Germany and can stay.

Germany tries to create pictures to discourage people from coming, while behaving the same to those who come. It is an interesting approach, and I am not sure yet how I feel about it.

I think that the extreme cases become more likely for non-Western cultures, even if we assume that the distribution of rapes per ethnicity follows a similar average between populations of West and non-West. Islamic countries are not known for their respect for the sanctity of women, particularly in the Middle Eastern clades of Islam.

(I've had Somalian, Malaysian and Sudanese Muslim friends which were extremely well-adjusted to Western culture and make good claims about women in these countries; but likewise I've had Bangladeshi friends who deplored the situation of women. So I think cultural temperament comes before religious law, but a religion can serve as a strong post-hoc justification for the strongest aspects of that temperament.)

If you're willing to take a scene at its word, there's this:

No, the report says nothing like that. It says that immigrants have a 4.5 times higher possibility of being suspscted of rape. This does not mean that 85% of all rape cases are committed by non-western immigrants. This is of course troubling though.
I've definitely been that person who didn't want the project to succeed - and I was the key developer (and an external consultant). I was convinced that we were implementing the wrong thing.

I had to be talked out of quitting a couple of times. I think they might have been better letting me quit the first time, and getting a replacement who didn't have so much ego affecting their work.

Based on my past experience the storage limits are well over the actual needs. It usually only grows when bands have a lot of photos on their website. At the moment I'm implying that a band with a lot of photos has been around for quite some time and is probably also somewhat successful by then, so they'd have to choose a larger plan anyways (because of increased traffic).

Yearly plans is definitely a thing I'm going to add in the future. :)
> Unless you can list here the "checks and balances ...

The key check on Libor was that it took a pretty big conspiracy to fix it. There were approx 16 banks submitting numbers, and the process was to rank those numbers, drop the top 4 and bottom 4, then average the rest.

So once you have 5 banks in your conspiracy you can sway the final result by 1/8th of the amount you lie by.

And these numbers are quoted in hundredths of a percent.

So, yes there was trust, but it was of the institutions in their people. They did not expect that such a big conspiracy could be mounted, for so long, without anyone calling foul.

(Well, some folks did report to the Bank of England that Libor was essentially fiction, but arguably that was quite late)

EDIT: And there is a balance, too. The biggest market is "interbank", i.e. banks offsetting their own cash and risk with other banks who have the opposite position. On any given day, some banks will be net payers of Libor and some will be net receivers. So, as institutions, they aren't all going to lie in the same direction.

This doesn't help you if the lying is done by individuals, ignoring the impact on their own institution, encouraged by things like free coffee.

> Now I personally would rather seen Assad dealt with in timely manner, years ago, instead of drawing stupid red lines in the water. This would have prevented the humanitarian disaster propelling the refugee crisis today, and would have hindered the raise of ISIS to boot. Since we can change the past though, I'm OK with helping people survive with my tax money.

Please don't mess with Syria anymore, and don't try to help with "your tax money". Syria was fine, at least compared to current situation, before West started meddling with the middle east and forcing democracy there.

ISIS started as a response of destroyed country (Iraq) without actual rule, that was brought in such state because of western occupation. Then, it was even armed and supported by the "west" as a "moderate islamistic democratic opposition" to Assad regime. The rest is history, and we didn't learn anything from it.

Just leave the middle east alone, as well as the rest of the world. Don't try to bring your values and way of life to them. Don't try to "help" them. Let them do it themselves on their own pace when they are ready for it. It's obvious right now they lived much better under any dictator that now, with all the "western" support.
Migrants won't spread uniformly trough Europe, but will try to build their own communities into the major hub. While 5 million across Europe uniformly is not a big number, spread them in few of the biggest cities that may offer a chance for them to get a job and suddenly you have a problem.

You are ignoring hundred of years of migration data if you think they will spread uniformly across Europe or even within a single city, the likely outcome is that they will try to stick into their own area, building their own neighborhood, much like you have the Chinese, Arab and whatever quarter in all major cities.

Those individuals while skilled will have no connections, no competitive advantage against the local laborers except a sob story and the necessity to work by whatever means. Guess how it will play out?

They will also carry their own culture tradition and overall mindset. We had many cases of attempted integration gone wrong already over previous migrations, with people beating their own wife or imprisoning their daughters because that's the way they grew up and how they learned to cope with family issues. They are not running away from weird green aliens, eh.

I'm all for integration and acceptance, but with the right process - split them up, isolate them from each other, have them spread uniformly, whatever it can be done to avoid the creation of refugee camps. Then you might have a chance to avert a crisis. Leave them on their own and it will only allow them to bring here the same crises they have over there (just look Turkish/Kurdish escalation and how it affected Swiss ill-integrated communities for a recent example)

United States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Britain, France and most vassal European Countries should shoulder most refugees since the "American led coalition" supports the head-cutting terrorists. See what happened in Libya with the US supported Arab Spring(what a joke!).

By the way, most refugees are male at a very young age. If there are from Syria, why don't they stay and fight for their country? The article did not mention that most refugees have latest technology smart phones and they take selfies when they cross the borders? Is this what a refugee is like?

Most refugees are going to work for peanuts so the capitalists will get richer. Say goodbye to worker rights since someone who needs money to live and is given government dough will never think to unionize.

TO AMERICANS AND WHITE EUROPEANS: Stop supporting the terrorists!! Stop f#$king up this world! There would not be any refugees if the United States and its vassal states did not bomb the countries!!

The Genetic Basis of Sleep and Sleep Disorders is a collection of papers on the subject, which has a chapter specifically on DSPD.

In fact, DSPD seems to be influenced by a larger number of genes than it's cousin disorder, Advanced Sleep Phase Disorder.

I have DSPD, so I've been going to my local university library to study from this book.

Yes, but my comment was in reply to a comment about TV.
The assumption that the general public is dumb and must be protected from difficult subjects/intellectual work, is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Removing everything from the curriculum that "a lot of people are bad at" is a bad idea. Most people are bad at something, there's nothing wrong with trying and failing; what's wrong is not trying when there's so much possibility that might be unlocked in people's minds.

The ability to program, to debug logic, to understand algorithms brought to the general public could be the biggest cognitive advance to society at large since free compulsory education. Frankly, most people take classes in geometry, trig, linear algebra and calculus which never really gels in their brains and they never productively use in their adult lives. Learning how to make computers solve problems elevates and empowers the mind.

Let's suppose that only a third of the population every becomes halfway proficient at writing software. That will be 2.5 billion people! With that many computer literate people in the world, finding teachers for the subject will not be difficult. I wouldn't worry about bright young hackers being crowded out by the dull masses; young hackers have been teaching themselves since there were close to zero teachers who could code.

Not my field however I feel you have a mis-understanding.

You are talking about a shared ledger system, then saying that bitcoin has no part of it.

Bitcoin is the token of PoW. So all the miners confirm transactions on the blockchain and in turn are rewarded with bitcoins. This keeps the miners doing their job, and the main reason the bitcoin ledge is immutable.

If you remove the bitcoin from the ecosystem then it will be down to the banks to secure their own blockchain with their own mining pools at which point the banks control all the mining, you lose the trusted status of the ledger. As with the main block chain if a miner gets 51% of the mining then they can do a number of attacks to change the shared ledger.

What I am getting at, I do not see how blockchain technology works without a token to validate it (be it bitcoin/bankcoin/englandcoin/fuckcoin. However if that token is only controlled by the banks are we not back right where we started? with banks having a private ledger between themselves that they can change.

Blockchain/bitcoin work because the people securing the network have an incentive to keep the system going. The only people interested in securing the banks blockchain will be the banks, unless they offer their customers mining equipment, but the day a bank shares its ability to mint value is the day I prove that well something unthinkable.

The banks blockchain will just become another private database that is not secured in the real world in anyway and in turn losses the status of an immutable ledge.

> Please don't mess with Syria anymore, and don't try to help with "your tax money".

By helping with tax money I meant supporting the refugees, so. No.

> Syria was fine, at least compared to current situation, before West started meddling with the middle east and forcing democracy there.

It wasn't the West who massacred an unarmed protest with an airstrike back in the day.

> ISIS started as a response of destroyed country (Iraq) without actual rule, that was brought in such state because of western occupation.

Newsflash: the occupation of Iraq was opposed by most of the "West".

> Just leave the middle east alone, as well as the rest of the world.

This depends on the parser implementation. For example, https://github.com/yorickpeterse/ruby-ll lets you customize the error messages as the default ones can be a little bit confusing at times. An example of this is https://github.com/YorickPeterse/oga/blob/0fd6fd8645e57ea4b2... which changes messages from "unexpected T_FOO, expected T_BAR" to "unexpected end of input, expected element closing tag".

Having said that, a hand written parser _will_ beat LL(1) (or any parser generator for that matter) when it comes to error reporting, though this depends on the amount of effort a programmer put in to the error reporting.

I left France in 1999, I have zero regrets, and zero plans to move back. I was sure at the time that it was next to impossible to actually 'do' something in France, because of the straitjacket that is the state, mostly.

And has /that/ changed since? Huh, what the hell are they talking about, it's even worse that it ever was, and the state+cronies are spending their time inventing new taxes and regulations to add to it.

Also, the place is /dire/ -- I was in Paris a few months ago (to be honest I never liked Paris much when I lived there but...) and it's even worse -- looks almost post-apocalyptic in some places. The countryside is still lovely, but well, suggesting to move back to ... Paris ? Ewww.

So, nope, sorry, I'm staying -- a lot can be said about the UK, but quite frankly, I feel a lot more British these days anyway, apart from the rather conspicuous accent :-)
