I strongly believe that the core reason EU has this crisis is because they agreed to bomb Libya.

One would imagine you'll figure out where it will go after looking at Iraq results.
On a personal note, I'm more likely to investigate anti-refugee arguments because I feel like they're underrated. I agree with the sentiment that we should understand that we're dealing with humans here, not numbers; but just like statistics has its weakness in that it can cause us to over-generalize, picking out the stories of individuals can allow a narrative to be crafted that is overfitted away from the whole.

Big picture: most refugees going across the Mediterranean are Syrian, male (like 72% male!), young, and poor.[0] Like unless they have families that they're hoping to have evacuated (why didn't they bring them over in the first place?), we're talking about a recipe for complete stupidity. Language barriers exist, education barriers exist; 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.

This is going to be a demographic shock to countries with more balanced gender ratios, and in the case of Europe, upside-down aging pyramids. Men without solid economic recourse and lack of cultural integration are going to resort to crime. They will upset the local sex market through strong male competition for women (rape town!). Politics in Europe will never be the same as the majority of the young do not carry any of the previous generation's values.

I'm really open to being proved wrong, I really am. But I'm not counting on it.

Do you really think middle class people in other countries still communicate with bush drums? Smart Guy.

I'm surprised to not see any food or water at all. While most food is heavy to carry and it is easily restockable in most places, i imagine that you many times would have to cross into remote areas to avoid border patrols, just having some snacks to last a day takes you a long way. Maybe it was all eaten already.

They could learn the basics of HTML, CSS and javascript when covering browsers. But to me it is equally important to understand why https and certificates matter, how email works, what's a DNS, a router, what's the difference between an IP and a Port, between RAM and ROM, CPU and GPU.

And even very basic skills like using Excel, Word and Powerpoint.

I am sorry if this question comes of as naive. Is the medical cost so high that it can only be covered with an insurance? Would a small amount of savings set aside for this purpose be viable in case somebody loses their medical insurance? Also would you not be able to take your own medical insurance which is independent of the company you work for? I am just trying to understand how the medical system there works. I hope I phrased the question appropriately.

Those contacts are worth a ridiculous amount of money. Niche consulting for the enterprise can yield literally millions of dollars/a year in support for a client like UPS. An Alpha setup.. I'm guessing OpenVMS? Mission critical to their business. Whatever support contract they're paying HP, he can join any big-name tech consulting firm, play golf with the CIO or purchasing authority in charge of maintenance/support and just _happen to mention_ he moved firms.

He doesn't have to go on-site to UPS to bring that business over to another firm, and when you build up _30 years_ of trust, that Rolodex and trust is worth 50x the best technical engineers ability (in terms of generating billables). He's in a great position. Senior Partners at McKinsey aren't paid millions because of their ability to put together a nice deck. They're paid that way because they have 20 years of billables and reliable after-work. If he's laid off and not picked up in 2 weeks, tell him to e-mail me.
Also this is why US should get better immigration policy and allow incoming people rather than outsourcing. My cousin was just hired in hp in India for he get about US$ 5000 per year or Rs 20000 per month(He is very happy as he was getting Rs,9000 with a indian company). whereas in US even for small company that job would be atleast $25000? so no way to compete for USA guys. Just ensure companies create healthy competition for people in the country.

The people who aren't convinced can feel that the debate is still open, even while the majority is convinced that a decision was made two months ago.

I'm in the Netherlands, where hierarchy is a bit of a dirty word, and educated employees are all expected to be critical, independent, outspoken thinkers all working towards a common goal. That has many advantages, but the technical discussions about pretty small details can go on forever...
The bit that disturbs me is how the police in many of these "first landing" countries have no qualms about knifing a rubber boat filled with people including small children that can't swim. That's murder. This kind of thing is going on all over the world. Refugees from Burma for example are also getting the same treatment but the Thai's.

We in the west are niaeve. We think we can incite revolutions and civil wars to overthrow the regimes that don't conform to our expectations of democracy, without appreciating that those actions have long term and negative effects upon ourselves. We have reeped what we sowed. Now we need to take responsibility for our actions.

The real refugees should be given the opportunity to integrate properly. We do not need cultural enclaves in our own cities. They lead to isolation and foster extremism in those immigrants that only feel hatred from their begrudging host countries' native populations. They need training and education, especially so that they can speak the language of their host country. For refugees moving to Germany that will be a challenge in itself. The language is hard. I've been here as an internal EU immigrant for nearly ten years and I still struggle with it.

The economic migrants, like those from Western Balkans, the near East and African countries that are peaceful need to weeded out and sent back.

"Temporary" can mean decades. How many wars have had a predictable timeframe?

As a child of refugees and having hung around quite a lot of immigrants, I think the biggest impediment to building a new life is the idea that you're going back. I hear this story all the time, from some kid whose parents insist they learn the old language and act like people from the old country, because in just a few years they'll be moving back there. Of course the "kid" will be in his 20s, having grown up in prosperous Scandinavia.

At the same time, you piss off the natives if you act like you are not sincerely trying to integrate. I don't think it happens a lot, but every time you hear a story about some foreigner taking advantage of the system, it makes it harder for all of them. Eg a friend of mine was translating for some newcomers from some Russian-speaking country. They were basically shopping for a free house, discussing whether they could get a better place, and openly planning their next trip home to old country, from which they were ostensibly fleeing.

The smartest thing to do as an immigrant is to immediately learn the language and try to find something to do. Get new friends who are local, and don't long for the old country.

Having millions of people living in temporary camps is a waste of millions of lives.

Now I do think there's a lot of pressure on the border countries, since they're taking a disproportionate amount of people. What should be done is once the UN decides a country is a war zone, everyone from there should be able to enter a lottery to be resettled elsewhere. They have to make a commitment to learn the new language, and not to come back for a long time.

The biggest disappointment for me, from poking around the tvOS SDK docs, is that the high-fidelity microphone (which clearly must exist on the remote in order for the Siri-enabled features to work) is not accessible from a public API.

Certainly not always. Your memory (or experience) must be short. HP workstations (and servers) were excellent up until at least the late '90's. I was doing 3-D work during the '90's and lusted after an HP workstation to run Softimage on.

Not to mention the legendary HP laser printers. Those things were built like tanks!

That doesn't address any of the safety issues from the post you replied to. Convenience will not save your life in an accident, should an accident happen. Convenience doesn't prove the driver is who he says he is. Regulation in the taxi trade was probably built up over many years to tackle the issues that arose over time, Uber will eventually fall foul of the same or similar regulation, eventually pushing prices up. What Uber are probably doing is refroming the taxi trade and eventually the two services, Uber and traditional cabs, will find a middle ground and merge into one service.

Is there a reason why a black cab driver in London, Manchester or Edinburgh couldn't register as an Uber driver and play for both teams?

The problem is what happens when economic migration intersects with modern democracy and welfare states. Because of the state, migrants (who should be a net positive due to comparative advantage) suddenly become an economic drain and can harm the people in the society they enter. This happens both by taking resources from workers via the welfare state and by voting for harmful policies (though this last part usually happens much later).

The best solution to this is of course ending the welfare state and permanent disenfranchisement, not threatening migrants and their potential employers with violence. But far too many people are more about their pet political ideals than about refugees.
Medical expenses for major problems can very easily run into the millions of US dollars (open heart surgery, etc). I'm not joking.

The market for private insurance is somewhat better now with Obamacare (depending heavily upon the state you live in) but it still can be very expensive. Especially if you're unemployed.

If you have a family member in poor health, employer-sponsored health coverage can be worth an order of magnitude more than your cash salary. If not more.
cool resource :) thanx!
Let me take on the easiest part of the argument first. Someone more knowledgeable can deal with the rest.

> Politics in Europe will never be the same as the majority of the young do not carry any of the previous generation's values.

First reaction: boo-hoo. More reasonable reaction: the Eurozone's population is about 330 millions right now, are they really expecting 100millions+ refugee? Yes, right now the refugees are concentrating in just a few countries, but that's because of the EU's attitude and passing-the-ball solution so far. The area as a whole CAN take on the refugees.

The same argument on the scale can easily apply to most of your other objections really. But the most important point is as simple as this: it's a very shitty situation all around, but does the anti-refugee camp have any proposed solution besides "tough shit, they are not my problems"? I mean, I can see people being selfish, and that itself is not a problem, but let's just call a spade a spade? EU citizens are all within their own rights for vote for their Trump-equivalent and build a wall around EU.
You speak as if Europe has a choice in accepting refugees. I believe the last few weeks in particular show that this choice does not exist. They will come, and we will have to do the best we can out of the situation.
There are no pre-existing condition exclusions in private insurance through obamacare. That was the biggest change it brought and is the reason for the mandate (so you don't wait to get sick and then take advantage of the lack of exclusions).

If you've been following the crypto 2.0 space you'll know that a lot of ideas have popped up for IoT and embedded smart contracts. For instance, washing machines or fridges that detect that are running low on X and automatically place an order for delivery. IBM and Samsung have been exploring this kind of IoT applications with Ethereum's blockchain [0].

A private blockchain (like the one the banking industry presumably would deploy) can do 1 of 1000000 possible applications for the technology, but a global and open blockchain could channel all under the same protocol (something like TCP/IP), maximising interoperation among player in several industries.

I'm just trying to reflect that these 9 big guys could be making a short-termed shortsightedness mistake trying to protect their business placing a fence. As Szabo said, it's the moment to be more open.

Or he could become an activist. Or he could do nothing, take the slight, and mor forward with his life. No one simply becomes a terrorist. They are groomed. They are sought out and programmed.

Tsaernev was heavily influenced by his older brother who was heavily influenced by members of his mosque and I would say his own family. I doubt Ahmed is going this route. He's been contacted by CAIR, Anil Dash, and is a raised by an activist father. I don't see extremism in his future. Far too many people care about him.

But do you take action on the initial report, or wait for the facts to become established?

For most significant events that do not directly impact the first-person ( i.e. not hyper-local ) I would suggest that it is strategically better to wait for a week or a month before taking any action based on the event.

In that case there's no immediate benefit to knowing about news as it breaks. In fact it could be a negative influence because it distracts from other, more important, action.

As an Indian living in Europe, I haven't yet noticed any changes but I assume that it will only get worse since behind all the talk about "humanity" most people still have to get 3 meals and when you have thousands such young hungry and tired men who can't get a job, I agree with the parent. Hopefully he and I are proved wrong since this is a real crisis.

They do! Germany, the UK and the Scandinavian nations are the only European countries (that I was aware of circa within the week) to be actively accepting Syrian refugees - every other country in between them AND the Mediterranean have had negative responses to incoming refugees and I would expect deportation.

If refugees were just coming in for safety's sake, there are plenty of other Islamic countries that would be more culturally compatible (that argument would fail in the case of Syrian Christians; I don't know the full proportion of real religious denomination to refugee count). There are plenty of European countries that want no business with refugees, like Hungary, who have just declared martial law in the last few days or so wrt refugees.

It's a choice. It's a hard choice, one which tangles several levels of liberal beliefs of tolerance in a democratic state and respecting a country's historical/ethnic heritage, which is why I think there is so much controversy. I personally don't see how any country in Europe is obliged to accept refugees.

That idea isn't too bad, it probably works most places but fails very badly in a few spots. So it might be good for lossy compression - I actually tried this once, but lost the code a while back...

In this case, PNG's filtering makes it kind of 2D-aware, so that probably works better on the original. But if you tried splitting it into 8x8 blocks, then predicting each one from the left-upperleft-upper neighbors, well, you'd have the basics to modern DCT codecs.
You're being downvoted for hyperbole, but there is some truth in what you are saying. This is exactly the type of scenario that groups like ISIS take advantage of, hence their unusually high number of western educated recruits.
