> I'm risking getting downvoted to oblivion here, but as an EU citizen I strongly believe that the core reason we have this crisis in the first place (as opposed to something controlled) is nonexistent border protection from southern countries like Italy, Greece. Never have I heard of them employing border patrols to veer off illegal boats.

Did you ever look for any kind of information on the matter, or you just saw a commentary of some tv-persona who spends for breakfast a month's worth salary? Because if you did, you would have find very compelling answers.

Why don't you come here and try to fend off 4.5 million people. What exactly would you have us do, shoot them on spot? Even to jail requires money and we're busy paying taxes (~70% of income is taxes in Greece right now).

Greece and Italy are dealing with immigration waves for at least 15 years. You just had a GLANCE and went berserk before they even reached your country's borders. Did you give a sht until now, or you woke up today saw the TV news and got interested?

Why don't to take a look at the news. See how Germany and Nordic countries dealt with Greek/Italian immigration problems all these years... See if you can spot some patterns there.

> We call those [economic] immigrants and have rules. Now its wild west. And in the news reports I usually see people toying with iPhone 5/6 and wearing [designer] jeans/jackets.

I'll will assume - given your views it's far-fetched, I know* - that you're not retarded. If you see iPhones en masse in immigrant pictures than you're looking at the wrong pictures. Let me help you[1].

> I am all for growing a pair and actually declaring what is a war zone. Working with UN/NATO to establish a peace there.

Where? Do you think the EU (well Germany and the UK, the others don't count anyway) has a say in US vs Russian war? Because that's what this is all about. The way Germany treats Greece, is the exact way the US treats Germany. Less stunts, but the baseline is exactly the same, humiliations one after another (Snowden scandal, "fuck the EU" by Nuland and so forth). So, in the real world, there's little if anything the EU can do about this, except form picking up the pieces.

I said this before, after the German-Greek showdown the EU is a finished project. It is a failure at so many levels that it's scary. I fear that first will come the break-up and then probably some sort of war... And it will be worse than the other two.

Your numbers can't be faulted, but the risks might be overstated. Based on purely anecdotal evidence (several young Syrian men who ended up in Belgium) I can say that many of these guys do indeed have families they intend to bring over. Because of the danger and uncertainty of the journey, those who could stash their families somewhere relatively safe for a short while did so. They knew it would be easier for them to reach real safety on their own, and that there will be organisations to help them reunite with their families afterwards. Of course, a negative aspect to this is that the current refugee numbers are lower than they should be, as many of these people will soon account for several more.

The struggle for economic resources might not be as bad as you envision. Countries like Germany have excellent social welfare systems with the capacity of processing refugees as quickly as possible. (OK, "as quickly as possible" isn't very quick, but they'll handle it.) The biggest challenge at the moment is getting these people off welfare and into the job market. Sure, because of cultural and educational differences we're probably not going to see many engineers or neurosurgeons, but the people who collect our garbage and do our cleaning mostly aren't engineers or neurosurgeons either. And language barriers are more fuzzy in the EU than in most other places, we tend to get around them. The jobs won't be fancy, but they'll pay minimum wage and give the refugees a purpose and a sense of self-worth. Also, there's no path to integration as straight and speedy as hanging out with colleagues over breaks.

But you're right, it's not going to be easy. It's going to take pragmatic and inspired leadership within the EU, and we're in very short supply of that. On the other hand, these people and their children will pay the future taxes that fund my pension and socialised medicine, all I need to do is make sure they're safe and land on their feet now.
it's not just EU's attitude: the immigrants choose the countries themselves, there is no way to keep them e.g. in Hungary if all they want is to go to Germany

I'm just saying that the mechanism to provide authorization endpoint and token endpoint to the client as proposed in https://www.tuxed.net/fkooman/blog/as_discovery.html is (in general) not sufficient. The client usually needs to provide valid client credentials in order to authenticate.

OpenID Connect solves that by extending OAuth2 with a layer to discover additional information about the authentication service (like authorization endpoint and token endpoint) and to sign up for client credentials.

There is no general issues with OAuth2 and DAV. We're using it successfully to authenticate at Google's DAV services and with Yahoo! Calendar.

Sure, it's not going to be easy; there will be a bit more crime and a bit more poverty. But there are a few points to consider. First, the number of refugees would amount to no more a few percent of the local European population. It's not a "demographic shock". Second, the entire Middle East was under European control or various degrees of meddling for a very long time (hell, the entire world), and nobody asked them when Europe came barging in. With power comes responsibility, you reap what you sow etc. etc.. Finally, if compassion didn't have a price, it wouldn't be worth much.
I saw the data you linked, but I don't see the "poor".

From what I see, they make up a range of demographics and educational levels.

As to why they did not bring their families over in the first place? That is usually because they want to make sure they have somewhere to stay before bringing their families over.

Bigger picture. The population of Europe as a whole is 740 million or so. Even if the entire population of Syrian pitched up in Europe (20 million or so), it would be under 5% of the population. The actual numbers of refugees is around 5 million, so less than 1%. You are trying to suggest that 1% of the population is a "demographic shock"?

The problem arises when the refugees are concentrated in a few countries, and then other nations use the crowding and chaos there as an excuse not to take any.

"Men without solid economic recourse", as per my previous point, these individuals span the entire socio-economic range, and have a wide range of skills. If they are able to gain employment (Many countries do not allow refugees to work) then I do not see why they would not have solid economic recourse.
I confirm. The "autoentrepreneur" status in France is quite paperless, but there are still about 12 applications to lodge.

I'd also like to say that the cost of earning money is higher here. €10k takes one year to save for a very good employee. There are so many taxes when you earn something... I've once calculated that adding 10€ in my LTD sales provides me 3.20€ for personal spendings. So it's just much harder to reach a Unicorn valuation when it takes that much to gather money.
All obligations people have to each other boil down to moral obligations. Barbarism and conquest age societies were much more rational than modernity, with little formalities or attachment of value to human life. So it comes with a territory of living in a civil society.

Europe espouses a particular set of humanitarian values and has to act correspondingly. It is in European law (being UNCHR members for a start), tradition and customs of education. It is what constitutes modern Europe.

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 not change the past though, I'm OK with helping people survive with my tax money.
Rape town? Really?
>Like unless they have families that they're hoping to have evacuated (why didn't they bring them over in the first place?),

The reasons I've gathered so far are: The journey is dangerous not just because of the risk of drowning. If I recall correctly, there were stories of rape. There's also a law for family reunification (I don't know the details but at least in the case of minors this means they can bring their family). Lastly, many young Syrian men flee because they could be conscripted by the army.

>I don't know how the Europeans intend to get all of these refugee adults up to economic snuff at the same grade of Europeans who were trained in the ways of the West from birth.

I don't think we know either.
> taxes

I was hoping that it wouldn't come down to that sort of thing - exploiting the refugees as a taxable resource. Because it seems kind of two-faced, to have Janus wear compassion/universalism on one side and to have taxing/demographic sustainability on the other side.

This is a great longform article about the politics surrounding the discovery of the HMS Erebus. The author summarizes the announcement of the discovery and the various political links and layers, then goes back to the actual discovery timeline itself, complete with quotes, to show how the politically-influenced announcement was completely different from what actually happened.

The quality of the article itself is something I'd expect to see in National Geographic, the New Yorker, or Rolling Stone, honestly.

Surely the principle of charity dictates that the quoted passage be interpreted to mean "coming in late/leaving early to the extent that it damages productivity/morale".

I mean sure, the author might have meant that he judges people solely by their hours and not their results, but in context it doesn't seem likely.

>I don't know how the Europeans intend to get all of these refugee adults up to economic snuff at the same grade of Europeans who were trained in the ways of the West from birth.

Is anyone really planning on that? It's much nicer to have an underclass under you. The economic argument is often brought up, but there is little backing, seeing how Swedish and German economies are the strongest in Europe and have accepted tons of immigrants in the past decade or two. It is costly for the state to nurse and educate a native citizen.
It's a normal thing to call it that in the Netherlands, where the author (judging by the name and the mention of him organizing AmsterdamPHP) is from.

Also, in IT it's normal to put people in leadership roles without any training or preparation, which in any other field is rightfully considered absolutely insane. FFS even McDonalds doesn't just take the best burger flipper one day and tells him 'yeah so as of tomorrow, you're the boss, good luck'.
> I'm risking getting downvoted to oblivion here, but as an EU citizen I strongly believe that the core reason we have this crisis in the first place (as opposed to something controlled) is nonexistent border protection from southern countries like Italy, Greece. Never have I heard of them employing border patrols to veer off illegal boats.

AFAIK this is actually the opposite of truth, assuming the migrant/refugee crisis is our fault (and it wouldn't have just happened anyway because of war) it's because we have too much border protection.

You see, the way this works, most of those smugglers just take the migrants/refugees all the way to the middle of the ocean, drop them on a raft, launch an SOS and head back to their origin port.
Merchant and military marine that picks up the SOS is then required (by maritime law and, possibly, by human decency?) to go check it out and salvage the people there.
Veering off boats is not an option because the boat usually veers off long before anyone gets there.

Over the past two years most of those migrants/refugees have been rescued by a special military operation of border control that has used the names Operation Mare Nostrum, Operation Frontex Plus and currently goes as Operation Triton. This costs 2.9M€/mo.

Arguably if we had less border control more brown people would die on rafts and maybe disincentivize the whole enterprise. Whether this is an acceptable solution I will leave for you to decide.

Posts like this remind me how shitty the business model of most Fortune 500 companies is. They lay off people just to increase profits regardless of productivity goals. For most management councils out there everything is about numbers. Perhaps we ought to do something as a community to stop such practices. Like boycott the shit out of companies that adopt them.
Product makes great impression. Still I have a slight problem with pricing scheme.
If for a band 5GB is not enough, and needs e.g. 10GB instead, it needs to put out 120€ per month more. That sounds hostile.

It would be probably better if pricing scheme is more modular, and pure hosting capacity aspects are priced reasonably.

Additionally option of yearly licenses with hosting on side of a client would be a big plus
And let's suppose for a second that HP is somehow right. How did they just notice that 10% of their employees are doing something totally worthless?

The keyword to search for in the economic literature is "labor hoarding". In short, companies tend to (by default) keep employees until well after they are no longer useful. Then some sort of a shock causes the company to shed the deadwood all at once.

This is management incompetence, but it's exceedingly common. If you ever see a company (e.g. Netflix) which sheds employees regularly, that's a very good sign.

Truth is, most migrants end up benefiting their new country despite a general hostility towards them. It's always been like that, even in XIX century US. So there is no hypocrisy really: we are not letting them in "because they help with taxes", that's a secondary side-effect that we are forced to emphasize in modern debate only because we have to fight naturally-xenophobic elements in our societies.
These are good points and sum up what I think are the strongest contras to my argument. From here it seems reasonable that the problem is spread.

The way he tells it, a lot of the guys he works with leave high priority tickets without looking them up, leave early, start late, surf the web all day, and generally don't work as you might expect. The manager in this situation doesn't seem to do anything about it, and this has been going on for years. I'm not surprised HP are in the predicament they are in, as they've totally mismanaged their business and assets over the past few years - and that business with Autonomy? Wow.

May I suggest looking up statistics on rape in Norway and Sweden before you formulate your next answer? It has been rather well documented - even though both Norway and Sweden tend to try to hide ethnicity (especially when a non-native is involved, leading to the suspicion that absence of information on ethnicity implies foreign origin of the perpetrator) - that the large majority of rape cases (Sweden: 85%, 2006 [1], Norway 'all reported rape cases committed by non-western immigrants', 2007-2009 [2]) in these countries involve non-western immigrants or their first-generation offspring. This problem will not be solved by looking away. Now that these people seem to be there to stay it is adamant that this problem is solved - not by ignoring it but by acting decisively. Denying a problem does not equal acting upon it. Blaming the victim does not do so either. Trying to mollify the circumstances is counterproductive.
