> We need a way for countries that don't want to be in, to get out. It will act as a relief from a lot of populist pressure. If the UK want out, they should have an available option

That has been possible since the Treaty of Lisbon.
That's not entirely true though. There are a lot of leftists who oppose the EU because they believe it is to neoliberal, prioritizing the protecting of businesses rather than the interests of the people. At least that's the case here in Sweden, and I'd be surprised if we were unique in this aspect.

>The national state is not exactly living a revival.

...unless you look at Eastern Europe. Poland and Hungary show that homogenous nation states are not as much a thing of the past than you'd thought, and that their 'revival' (they were never dead though!) is doing just fine.
In the 2015 UK general election, UKIP, whose main selling point is "UK should leave the EU" came third with 12.5% of the votes. That's a significant amount.
This nonsense again. You can't just tarnish all migrants based on the actions of a few young teenagers.

As we've seen in all countries migrants especially those with families end up being massive positives for the country and its biggest defenders.

I suspect they're more at risk from the Android Wear watches, to be honest. Apple gets all the attention but the Apple watch is just ugly, and watches are half about functionality and half (maybe more than half) jewellery that's acceptable to men. The Swiss know this why is why their advertising is all ego-based: they show pictures of dashing men engaging in wild adventures whilst wearing their trusty IWC, or the mature 60-something man wearing a suit and a flashy watch surrounded by his successful family in the countryside. It's all about trying to associate a lifestyle with their product.

In comparison an Apple Watch is a square thing that looks like an iPhone shrunk to the size of a big Casio. And the adverts look like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmkBAAwkkbI

It literally doesn't even have people in it! The advert shows an entirely ordinary looking watch casing and strap and tries to make it look sexy. It spends more time focusing on the specs than on who wears it.

I got a smart watch for Christmas. It's a Huawei. It has a round face, a chain link strap and, to my eyes at least, actually looks like a watch. Usefully, the screen stays on all the time, so it suffers much less from the problem of the face randomly lighting up as you wave your arms around. It isn't going to win any beauty contests by itself, and it isn't one of those "hand it down across the generations" type watches the Swiss love to promote, but it can at least enter the visuals competition.

I guess drinking laws mean this can't happen in the USA, but plenty of parties I went to would start with a meal and a couple of drinks in a restaurant before moving on to a bar then a nightclub.

That's not much different to what happens at conferences I've attended, except it ends before the nightclub, usually.
Apple is getting ahead mostly because of China app store revenue. China Android app stores revenue alone is more than half Apple Worldwide store revenue.
Google entering into China market will improve its revenue but China Android App store are extremely competitive market and they will have a hard time entering and taking away market share from current app stores.
The question is not whether we can judge all refugees based on the actions of those animals, but whether it's a fair deal to put in risk our well-being and security in our own countries to keep them here. We have worked very very hard to end poverty and everything else that leads to crime during decades, we don't need to import more of it!

That said, if those beasts are fit enough to molest women, they should be fit enough to join Assad's army and fight ISIS. But of course it's better to come here and ask for free stuff.

Whether you like it or not, people won't stand this situation for much longer. The rise of the far right in France is a huge warning sign, and it's only the beginning of it.

Soros would be probably the last I would listen to. Money and politics is a toxic mix. He influences politics and markets to create chaos to make profit out of it. He is still upset that his manipulations against the EU and the Euro has failed. In the last few years the news of the collapse of the Euro was daily in the headlines of interested newspapers and magazines, manipulated by persons like Soros.

The Euro is still there and the EU, too. Don't hold you breath to see them collapse.
> “Chancellor of the Free World.”

Merkel took only charge because everybody else didn't and the other European leaders indirectly expected her to lead them in the Ukraine crisis and the refugee crisis.

In my opinion there are two problems with the refugee crisis: (1) for many years the calls for help from Spain/Italy/Greece have been ignored and the refugee problem was swept under the mat. And now since Syria everyone is unprepared because no sensible policy was created back then. (2) the EU members from eastern europe wanted to join the EU for economic gain and protection from Russia. Now they have to realize that the EU is a union and not a economic aid programme. But this is also a consequence of problem nr.1 because it was politically ignored to set policies for distributing refugees in the EU.
I live in Hungary and don't feel that way. In fact, not even anti-EU populists feel that way considering all the talk I've heard about closer ties to the V4 and talks of a comprehensive political framework that would tie these countries together.
It's indeed complicated, the EU is moving way too fast for local cultures, they are also arriving in a bad economic climate so it does not help. No-one thinks themselves "European" either (whatever this might mean), the European Union looks from the outside as a floating entity on top of Europe, it's difficult for people to relate to it.

The fact that politicians are avoiding to do a poll with almost 35% (total of left + right parties) of votes to openly Anti-EU party (this was in 2012, I imagine it's more now, and this is only people voting for openly anti-EU parties, the real figures are obviously higher) is also seen really negatively and does not help at all to improve the general opinion of the European Union.

Yeah I saw this on Reddit too. I'm not sure what the point of the article is. It references Ries in passing as if it's only vaguely relevant, and proceeds to say precisely what Ries said 10 years ago in the first few pages of probably the most prolific book in the startup community. It then tries to make the article more relevant by conflating Lean with Agile and suggesting that they're both only vaguely relevant, when the entire article is specifically talking about Lean concepts. (And I say all this as someone who hated The Lean Startup).

Yes, in most cases. As always, the pro way to do it is to examine the browser statistics for your target market, decide which browsers you will/won't support, and build and test for those browsers. If you don't want to go to all that effort for your smaller project, the bottom line is that most developers today end up targeting ES5.

Hi, and thank you for Wallabag! I've been happily using the self-hosted version for quite a while now. At some point I forked[1] the Android app but development stalled when I needed an API to be able to improve the app further. So this v2 is great news!

Just an FYI: in the blog post you mention that the login for the preview of v2 is wallabag/wallabag, however I get 'bad credentials' when trying that.

This new Material Design version looks awesome! Eagerly looking forward to v2 becoming stable so I can upgrade.

Based on Soros' past, it's probably a combination of both. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday . In the 90s he saw that the UK's commitment to prop up the Pound Sterling was ill advised, but he made sure that his short position paid off by systematically selling Pounds until the government had to renege on the exchange rate mechanism.

In British politics the need to leave the EU ASAP unites both left and right.

I personally want out because of the Double Irish and the Dutch Sandwich. "Racist!" is the only argument the self-serving pro-EU movement have left, and no-one pays any attention to that word anymore.

The future of the UK lies where it always has, with the Commonwealth.

The EU has lost its main purpose - in a sense it's a victim of having largely done its job.

Although it was originally created to prevent future wars in Europe, the role it performed most effectively for most of its life was to be an incentive for countries on its borders to open their markets and become democracies. Spain, Portugal, Greece, and most of eastern Europe, left dictatorships and/or communism behind and joined the European gravy train all, all through the 80s and 90s.

But its borders are rather different now -- corrupt cronyism (to the East) and Islamic radicalisation (ISIS etc, to the south) are the main threatening neighbours. It's less effective at dealing with those, and there's not many countries it can dangle the carrot of membership in front of, and the prospects of them being accepted are lower.

So with the potential gains gone, it's left looking like a layer of bureaucracy and interference sitting heavy-handedly on top of two dozen market-based democratic economies.
I love WeKan - we use at at Bytemark (www.bytemark.co.uk) for our internal to-do board - high level project tracking across the company with 28 staff.
Thats one of the really nice things about react: you can update the state on the clients copy of the board data, let react change the UI as required, then let the server send over the new state once it has one, update the clients state as required and let react deal with the ui updates.

As for reconcillation I would probably just have the server send over the entire current state of the board when the client connects. It is much easier and doesn't waste that much bandwidth, which is cheap anyhow.

Am I missing something?
Could you shed some light on which book you are referring to?
I do, to an extent. So, there is at least one.

To me, it's a modern identity. I have geographically dispersed friends and family. I am speaking to you online, right now and we are speaking candidly about political issues concerning us together. I don't even know where your'e from (Hello, by-the-way.) I appreciate the right to live in other EU countries and I would feel violated if it was curbed. I respect other European's rights to live here if they choose.

That's it. There is a lot of movement, btw and I think it's a good thing. The italians living here for 2 years before college and the Germans living in Paris for a year. The cousin who married a French girl. Maybe their grandchildren will feel differently.

We don't need to be anything in particular. We just need to function a little better. We'll feel whatever we feel. Our kids will feel what they feel and hopefully they won't bomb each others cities ever again.

>Can you imagine a US state doing that? I don't think unions are reversible at this state in history. The national state is not exactly living a revival. This is majorly a financial crisis.

I might be wrong, but it's not my impression that the US laws are a hodgepodge of compromises between states. In many ways the US is more coherent. Americans are also viewing themselves as Americans first, secondly as Irish, Latino, whatever their ancestors origin might be. Only rarely do Americans define themselves as being Idahoan, Washingtonian or Michigander (Exception are Texan, New Yorker and maybe Californian). For most people in the EU European wont even be their second level identification, for me personally it might be third or forth level.

My point being that not wanting the EU or parts of it, has no consequences for my identity in the same way if would for a person in the US wanting his or her state to at least partially leave the union.

The nation state are seeing a revival. Areas like Catalonia want to be their own small separate nation, Scotland considered leaving the UK. Many EU members also want to move power from a distant and anonymous EU parliament, and give it back to their national parliaments. In some cases people want to move power even closer and adopt Swiss style democracy. I don't think it's to fare fetched to see a state like Bavaria in Germany wanting to move power from Berlin to Munich.

Unions not reversible? Ask Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, or the USSR. Or within Europe currently, the Scottish and Basque separatist movements. The growth of the EU -- largely for financial reasons (access to EU development aid and a large market) -- has been an exception in an era of fragmentation.

What If: Robots Go to War?
On my case in France (2012 election) if you do an addition of all the parties against the EU : Front National (want to go back to the Franc and do a poll for quitting the EU, ~18%), Front de Gauche (considering quitting the Union depending of the circonstances, ~11%).

So these + all the minor parties it's like 35% of votes more or less against the EU. This was back in 2012, it's currently probably higher.

Of course, it's a lot easier to 'hack the media' if your concept is controversial to begin with. I mean, Rumblr was basically real life Fight Club, and the idea made for perfect stories about how either apps and startups were pushing the boundaries legally, or how crazy these apps are, etc. On the other hand, if their product was something rather boring (like say, accounting software), I suspect they wouldn't have got anywhere near the press they did.

Props for their efforts promoting the hoax, but the concept alone could well have taken off anyway simply due to how insane it is.

> "[...] allowed Greece to lie their way into the EU"

I believe you hit the nail, but not quite on the head.

The fact that it was possible to get into EU through systematic lies was a symptom of a much bigger problem. I remember when Greece joined. Everyone I know thought that it was an insane idea, because Greece simply wasn't ready or financially stable enough.

But at the time the main political drive in EU was expansion. It was almost as if the heads of EU states felt that unless the union was large enough it would be irrelevant. So the policy was expansion at all costs.

And there was nothing subtle about it. Hell, a Finnish politician got the seat of a commissary of EU expansion!

Not sure whether that was naked ambition or just institutional myopia.
While you can't know without looking at the code, my first-pass test is asking how keys are handled and if the code handling those keys is coming from an untrusted source (in this case the server as JS)(for the sake of this discussion I will admit I implicitly trust Debian and the gpg folks).

If there isn't a good answer to key management, or my key is handled by JS, then it's a no-go for me.

If there is a half-way decent answer to key management, I ask what the threat vectors the system was designed for are. If a broad political statement is made, then I walk away.

While it doesn't actually vet the technical merit of the code, I feel it catches a lot of funniness.

> Is it normal for there to be zero test coverage in a meteor app?

In my experience, yes. Meteor has traditionally had a culture that focused a lot on tech demos and experimental projects, rather than stability and production. Sort of the anti-Angular 1.x. :)

(Man, I wonder if that comparison will annoy Angular fans or Meteor fans more? But I think it has some truth in it.)
What you describe is not an unreasonable assessment, but it is very pessimistic. I don't think it's a matter of bleak reality, where a more optimistic assessment is naive or less reasonable.

Europe is generally a peaceful place, a decent political culture with relatively low tolerance for overtly sociopathic political actors. The corrupt cronyism is a real problem, a bigger problem outside the EU than in and most certainly not a new problem.

>I spent my freshman fall pretty much just going to class and straight back to my dorm. [...] one of the guys I'd sat next to in the intro to engineering class invited me to rush his fraternity. [...] I met so many amazing, awesome people it blew my mind.

So I find this slightly confusing, because in my experience of university, the fact I was living in dorms already offered me the opportunities to meet people that you're talking about.
Pretty much from the day I arrived, people were sat talking in the corridors, and everyone else was as anxious to meet new people as I was, so I don't know how I could have avoided making friends.

That said, I do know that despite my social anxieties, I tend to be pretty comfortable talking to people I don't know that well (if anything, more so than people I do), so that might have made it easier than I realised.

One thing that does occur to me though, is in the UK alcohol is readily available to students. I realise US colleges are hardly dry, but I'd imagine it's not quite the same as the UK, where almost every student will have their own stock of preferred drinks ready for any social occasion.
