Why don't you mention the predominant religion of the migrants and culture shock? Islam is a way of life not just a religion. Literally following the Koran is not compatible with life in the West as indeed with the Christian Bible. You soon get arrested in the UK for proclaiming statements from the Bible (on homosexuality for instance). Interestingly, not so if the text is the Koran. But that's another matter.

And what will Erin do with that money? She will give it to Tony in exchange for some service. What will Tony do? Pay that into his bank account. Which means the bank now has an extra $70 (assuming they keep a $10 reserve) that it can loan out, bringing the total amount of money in our economy to $250.

Also that $80 that Erin borrows will need to be paid back with interest. Say the interest is $20. She pays back $100. The bank now has $120. That $20 that she paid back had to come from somewhere. Say she sold a blanket she knitted to Paul to make that extra $20. Where did Paul get that money from? He had to borrow it from the bank. And the cycle continues...
I understand that the refugee debate is an emotional one, but let me try and show you another way of thinking about it.

You said earlier that we shouldn't over-generalise especially with the influx of (positive) stories of these refugees, but one can argue that you're doing the same thing but from the other perspective. In fact, before the Aylan tragedy, I remember that there wasn't much coverage about the refugees themselves, but certainly there was a lot of sentiments, mostly fear, from the media and the public on the Internet. Even NYT remarked on the apparently British obsession with refugees: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/14/world/europe/calais-migran... .

Personally I welcome the recent positive stories about the plight of the refugees because it brings balance to the debate, and remind us that they are also human beings and merely want to escape from death and poverty. Who wouldn't run? I'm in no way likening you with Stalin but your quote regarding statistics brought back some chilling memories: "One man is a tragedy, a million statistics". We cannot and must not let go of humanity, not after so much tragedies.

I know that it's completely unrealistic to take in all of them, and I think it's nonsense that one can just open up borders without proper checks - the argument that a terrorist might be disguised as refugee is a valid one, I think. But I also think that neighbouring countries should have responsibilities to accommodate as many refugees as they can handle - and that's where the problems come in. Despite the media pandering on the lack of action from neighbouring Arab countries, Jordan, Lebanon and even Turkey have been taking in millions of refugees for years, even decades, see http://www.mercycorps.org/articles/turkey-iraq-jordan-lebano... . However it's starting to take its toll, and it's definitely not sustainable, which the refugees themselves could see. Lower wages, lower standards of living, growing dissent ... and then there's the next neighbour, rich and civilised: Europe. It's easy to see why it looks like the Promised Land!

Sure, people smugglers exploit this ruthlessly and many have even died trying to reach Europe, but for those who are already at your doorstep, is it really necessary to question if you should take them in or not?

We live on the same planet, and it's getting smaller. We used to think that what happens on the other side of the world won't affect us, but clearly globalisation and the Internet have linked us all up in a way more intimate than before. Sometimes I think that the concept of borders and countries are outdated[1]; we have so much more in common than differences that it's hard to feel "us vs them" now. And I think that's the key with the refugee crisis, and it's the same thing with other global issues like climate change: Division of privileges is increasingly becoming irrelevant and we've got to start thinking like global citizens.

You might be interested in Sidechain Elements.
Pros:
PlusCal is relatively easy to use and understand.
TLA Toolbox is self contained. You have an editor, a model checker and other tools right out of the box.
Two or three books written by Lamport. Nice material base.
Theory behind this model checker is relatively lightweight. Compare it with some sophisticated process algebra, for example.

Cons:
PlusCal is not able to handle process spawn operation, as far as I know. So if you are to model real system where clients come and go, you have to write your spec in pure
TLA+ which is unmaintainable, because it is just a logical assembler.

State explosion problem.

Java as implementation language. So you are using your CPU cycles not the best way.

Built-in proof system is not able to and was not supposed to check your proof. To do this you have to use some other tools like Coq (fix me if I am wrong)

Nearest competitors in that nich: Spin (yeah!), Alloy, EventB. Just let you know that there are alot of model checkers out there.
Sadly happened to me, too. White teen with german name in Germany. Brought a HiVoltage TV Transformer to school for science class (Mind me, I must have been 18 or 19, not 14). A teacher probably overheard my comment to another student "The voltage kills you immediately if you are not careful. An hour later I was nearly thrown out from acool for allegedly trying a "School Shooting" with that device. Luckily my science teacher recued my butt.
Germany declared war on pretty much all of the neighbouring countries and some non-neighbouring ones. But the argument probably holds for the South. Over a million people died gruesome deaths in the war. It is unlikely that they prevented an even larger evil.

We will see about South Africa. It is on a fast track to a failed state status currently. They went from surplus energy production to blackouts. Same with food while the farmers are being systematically pushed out or murdered.

> Having coworkers just showing up and leaving at any random time during the day I think messes with morale/vibe of the office.

That's a weird opinion to hold. You should change it. It hasn't been true in any company I've worked in for the past ~8 years.

> I don't like the idea of "Jane just shows up whenever she wants to, but she's getting her JIRA tickets done within the sprints and shows up to meetings".

This sounds like the perfect situation to be in, both for an employee and an employer.
Nitpicking: it's a VPU which runs the bootstrap blob, not the QPU (the latter is well documented and fairly open, unlike the former).
> I'm happy to hear suggestions on how to make sure a band making tons of money doesn't end up on the smallest plan

I can’t help thinking that coarsely segregating customers into plans and overly streamlining the sign-up process might not be the optimal choice in your case. Why not just drive everyone to contact sales directly like, for example, landing page for Ellington CMS does[0]?

You can still market a cheap newcomer plan with low specs, limited support and only basic customizability, strongly implying that it’s the choice for young poor bands. Anyone above that is probably better off working with you directly so that you can estimate the costs and price the solution for them individually. Your highest plan is €199/month—would you bill Metallica that much if they come?

I would suggest you add "average" somewhere to the "x users per day" messaging, seeing as in your FAQ you make clear you won't charge extra or take a site down for a one-off spike in traffic.
> but now Erin has $80

Yeah but Erin had to put his house for getting his loan.
If you have someone in the family with serious medical issues, though, it's free money. A trip to the ER and a few days in the hospital runs tens of thousands.
That's been done in late 19th-century America, and the result was mass exploitation of immigrants and increased violence. In fact, regulation in the US (unlike in Europe) started as a response to what happened then (the US population cried for more regulation to save them from the Robber Barons). Of course, it was also a time of great economic growth but also third-world-like inequality.

So what you're suggesting isn't a "solution" but merely one approach that may result in an outcome that would be good for some and bad for others -- just like most approaches -- and is based on some values and not others.

I think that most people in the West prefer the current, perhaps more subdued reality than the constant struggles of the Gilded Age.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilded_Age
IMO manager = make more money but put in way more time. Meaning, deal with the questions from higher management, prepare all the various performance meetings, etc. Especially sudden highly important tasks are fun. Or announcements that happen on e.g. Monday and you get your information Friday late. This leading to having to review everything during the weekend.

It seems some people care more about the total salary than what they earn vs time invested.

PS: Regarding your team hating you: Decide for yourself how you manage. I prefer the honest types who just say "company decided and we just have to deal with it". If you start pretending you totally agree with things you'll not be able to give good answers to the various questions and people will think that you have no clue.

Although sadly no decentrazlied implementation has been made yet, there is no reason why one couldn't be made.
It's really sad. When I graduated from college HP was where you really wanted to work. They had all kinds of cool high tech test equipment and parts. And they had a policy of never laying off people - during industry downturns they'd hang on to everybody and tough it out until the economy recovered.

For whatever reason they spun off the high tech bits (as Agilent) and became a PC/printer company. I'll never understand that decision.
Working as a remote ops guy setting up a startup's systems, my quality of work dramatically improved when I joined the team in person, because I got to hear the various little things that people don't mention in online chat, and was able to account for them. This idea that all communication is entirely possible to be held within scheduled meetings is incredibly naive.
They were dead that very day when they brought that consulting scam company (I forgot its name) because it was clear signal of internal corruption and disconnection from so-called reality. Now it all unwinds.
Stereotype much ?

English here. Appreciate dark humour just fine.

Not offended by said cartoons, and perfectly capable of seeing the satire.

Of course, if you judge English people by by the English media, that would be understandable, and if by English 'heritage' you don't actually mean English people, then maybe that's why they're no longer here.

Sure, the English 'ideology' has unfortunately succumbed to far more political correctness over the years, but I'd suggest that most of us can appreciate irreverence far beyond that which may be perceived.
Ask HN: How do I search source code of popular projects only?
I've tried to search code on GitHub, Codesearch, Krugle, openhub etc, but I've run into a strange problem.

Every time I would like to see how some feature is being used in practice, I am bombarded with results coming from small, "Hello World"ish projects, that are mostly unknown, and therefore not reviewed, and don't really show how a feature can be used in practice.
Even worse, since I am searching for a C code, they could exhibit some bad practices I'd like to avoid...

I couldn't find any option to sort the code by any popularity factor like stars, forks, or even issues...
On GitHub, I can only sort repositories by stars or forks, not the code results.

So is there any way to limit code results to projects that are somewhat popular? Did I miss any switch?
As an external I asked a question on a task today: "Can you give me an example on where you store tracking information in orders? I haven't been into the relevant subsystem yet."

I was answered "We only need to store that when the supplier sends the order". (Which of course was why I asked for -- and the task was about.)

That non sequitur was a step up -- I got an answer. :-(

I think I'm seen as a potential replacement.

[Edit: No more Mr Nice Nerd, if I'm not answered tomorrow I won't trawl the code base again for a couple of hours but send this to the project leader directly. :-( ]

There would not have been any refugees if some of the Arab states (e.g. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt) would have intervened in Syria either.

It's not just "the west": no country made a serious effort to prevent the escalation there. You could argue that any attempt at a serious effort was thwarted at the UN level by the apathetic attitude of Russia and China, but in that case your complaint against Americans and white Europeans is misdirected.

Weird hate? Most of the problems we are facing now with the economical system is because banks ARE CREATING MONEY OUT OF NOTHING and then decreasing the actual value of EVERYTHING, and moving power to those who are in good terms with them, effectively setting in stone a rule of power system that enslaves people to their home mortgages and jobs they dont want to work on.

"Weird hate", yeah it might be weird if you don't understand what they are doing. And they are masking it in this veil of complexity, when in reality it's very simple.
I got the impression it was not a startup:

I did have to hire people and in the current market that was a very hard task. Especially so when the company in question is not a sexy startup, nor is the stuff they’re working on amazeballs, nor is the market that they’re in one that attracts a lot of people. It took me a lot of time interviewing people and even offering them a job (with a pretty good offer, mind you) only for them to choose another company.

I totally agree that the role seems like way more of a manager than a developer, so "lead developer" is a strange title. Of course titles are pretty strange and generally not very "portable" to begin with.
The discussions could likely be put on one page as well, allowing you to reference to the other articles without having to add links to other similar articles or other comment threads. That'd be pretty cool.
And this is why Forward Secrecy is so important. If we want to encrypt communications we should make sure forward secrecy is not missing from any of the protocols we're using (which makes PGP obsolete).
You can limit your search to certain repositories on GitHub, with advanced search: https://github.com/search/advanced

You will need to enter the repositories by hand, though. Mind you, writing a small tool that'd list the most popular/forked/starred/etc C repos, and do a search for you in those should be a few minute task.
I think I actually did make bombs as a kid. Wow, fire, smoke and explosions are cool kind of bombs, not to blow stuff up. But that was before the war on terror, and without a name like Mohammed.
Not enough jobs to go around? I disagree.

There are ~5.8 million job openings as of the end of July. The highest level maybe in 15 years [1]. The unemployed worker per job opening ratio is also at the lowest in 15 years [2]. The U6 unemployment rate for people that have some college is 5.x%; the unemployment rate for people with a four year degree is 2.x%. There have been eight million full-time jobs added in just four years.

The challenge, as always, is finding the job you want, at the salary you'll accept, matching skills you possess. I'd argue there are plenty of job openings in technology and sales.

It's obviously not a legit solution for all 10% of people out there but this is kind of an exceptional case - The guy is literally the best person in the world to fill the gap in the market which is about to be created by the lay-offs, so why is starting his own business unrealistic? Especially given that he's really just trying to do the exact same work without HP as a middle-man
On the other hand it seems like a very bad plan for the available bandwidth in my region.

I have to deal with a 1 Mbps (yes, Megabit) DSL connection and while I'm grudgindly fine with running large downloads overnight, the trend towards streaming is a huge issue.
My only other alternative is a metered LTE plan - 15 GB for ca. 50€, after that the bandwidth is throttled to 384 kbps or you can pay 10€ for every additional 5 GB of bandwidth.

Oh, by the way, this is in Germany - not some exotic third world country.
> In the process they have inflicted enormous harm to our economy and lives, but they have not shared a proportionate share of the costs. The costs they impose hardly justify the veritable monopolies banks are afforded by the laws and regulations which are very effective at preventing competitors from entering the market.

I'll just guess you're American.

America's obsession with "free market" is why you have terrible banks, terrible health care, terrible conditions for low income workers.

Governments are intended to serve the whole of society. If you elect a government that decides society is best served by private enterprises which are solely interested in making a profit and aren't bound by laws saying they have to serve the entire community responsibly, what do you expect?

And here's a tip for you: "disrupting" banks isn't going to work out well either. If banks are taxi's, what will the bank equivalent of Uber look like?

A company that hires thieves to run it's operations, and every 100th customer has their funds stolen by a member of staff.

Banks don't need more competition to be better. They need to be legally required to operate in a way that is financially reliable, and held accountable when they don't.
In fairness, he did say he tried. Perhaps there was a lack of bravery, perhaps he could have gone to this bosses and explained the situation, but perhaps he did that and it wasn't enough.
Perhaps it is a misunderstanding on the part of the humans in the film. They could be mistaking the human brains powering the neural network by means of providing processing capacity for powering it by means of providing energy.

Yes, but if that happens, thanks to the other half of Obamacare (the Medicaid expansion), if income goes to zero / povertylevel for any adult (no longer merely special classes of disabled or child-raising adult), then healthcare becomes free.

People with big enough health problems that the heavily subsidized Silver market category is insufficient, but who have only a middle class income, do get stung in this system; But before Obamacare they would have been treated much, much worse should their employer fail to provide them with good health insurance. The Silver market plans are supposed to represent the standard level of care, and be subsidized on a sliding scale from 99% right above the Medicaid threshold, down to 0% at ~$100k income or so, IIRC.
