The EU had a common border agency system for many years, had a way to track migrants, and had structures for this.

Yet they failed in late 2014, because Greece couldn't continue funding the Greek part of them anymore, and refused funding from Germany for them (because Germany said they'd only fund Greek border guard if they'd be replaced with FRONTEX officers).

That finally happened in late 2015.
What about outside the US, where there is no seperation of Church and State?
But we do want growth. Would you prefer the opposite – stagnation? How's that working out for Europe? "Trickle-down economics" was never an actual concept. It was a silly characterization of policies that favored keeping corporate taxes low in the name of encouraging capital investment and it's been responsible for the strength of our economy over the past 40 years.

Everyone loves to rail against wealth inequality (talk about populism...) but nobody ever explains why wealth inequality is so bad. So the 1% has a large concentration of the wealth. If we took all their money and distributed it evenly among all citizens it would barely move the needle in terms of living standards. Someone having 1000 times more money than you doesn't really affect you. In fact, that money is likely floating around the economic system anyways in the form of investments.

Asking that the government liberate that money – which in terms of total tax revenue is a rounding error – does not seem like a good policy given how incompetent the government has proven itself to be when spending the money it already collects. I'd rather there be a few fat-cats sitting on yachts doing nothing (which is better than bombing brown people or spying on me) and have a Bill Gates and Elan Musk actually tackling important problems than have no fat-cats at all and a slightly larger government making all the same mistakes they make today with no visionary capitalists to speak of. Call me crazy.
> Milton friedman would have said to let the banks fail, but the governments didn't, and that expectation is one of the causes cited for banks taking such large risks.

This can't be repeated enough. The banks should have bit the dust. A great many pensioners and households would have suffered, but then the government could have introduced emergency bankruptcy laws and ameliorated the worst of it. The crash would have provided its own antidote.

In my country every person I ever talked to was against the bank bailouts. Democracy didn't happen here and neither did capitalism. That's the inconvenient reality for the left and right. Their old enemies aren't to blame. What we have is a failure of governance, not ideology.

The European Union officials were right behind the government in this. We actually have phone recordings of corrupt bankers describing manipulating idiot government officials.

http://www.thejournal.ie/the-anglo-tapes-9-jaw-dropping-quot...

Then later the EU forced the debt down our throats. With friends like this...

I'd like to know what the leftist solution is to that. We can't replace unelected officials. Because they seem to just go back to their hobby horse of blaming the capitalism ideology for this.

One capitalist solution would be to get rid of central bank controlled interest rates. The governance problem remains unsolved though and all this could basically happen again.
> If you were a developer, wouldn't you try to maximize profit for your investors?

Selling 1000 units at $2000 is more profitable than selling 500 units at $2500. Moreover, collusion is a) illegal, allowing us to smite them with the Hammer of Antitrust Enforcement, and b) assumes there are few enough developers that they can actually do that without anybody defecting, which seems unlikely.

> In a realistic scenario, de-regulated zoning around San Francisco would benefit developers and lenders while worsening the financial burden of the middle class.

Your proposed alternative to increasing supply once to reduce prices is to keep supply constrained and subsidize rents forever.

There is no way out of the fact that increasing the housing supply is the only real solution, and that requires zoning regulations to be relaxed so that it can actually be increased. If you then have other problems with increasing the housing supply, you fix them, because one way or another there needs to be a lot more housing.
From the perspective of sustainable, I can find retail harddrives for about €0.023 per GB (not counting taxes). This site take €0.002 per month, so with a very simplistic view, a harddrive is producing profits after about a year. There is of course many additional costs, and they could also be getting a better deal than current retail prices, but from a pure question of "X+1 customer mean a gain or a loss", I would lean towards sustainable.
Free Pascal is a very capable language. I noted some of its features in a separate post. But here's a quick recap

- fast compilation

- fast program execution

- compiled to small (or smallish) native executables (including GUI apps)

- cross-platform

- low-memory usage executables (does depend on code)

- strongly typed

Now ask yourself: how many modern or popular languages can match all the features above. Surprisingly, not that many.

I think if you moved people out to an open facility like that, showed them the lifestyle available and then let them choose whether they would stay, you might see some success? Opportunities for them to find purpose in life, but no huge obligation to work bulk hours; shelter in an affordable region and style; support at-hand, but still the option of ignoring it and staying in control.

Pandas are a reinvention (be it a conscious one or not) of PAW "ntuples" which have been around for at least a quarter of a century. ROOT has further evolved them into "trees" which allow structure beyond simple tables. Both provide a selection language akin to Panda's filtering.

I have nothing against Pandas, but the ebullience that always comes with blog posts about them seems to be ignorant of existing systems used every day in scientific data analysis for the past few decades.

That's not even true.

Not a single German party has been pro out-EU immigration. Not a single one.

In fact, the current government even made it harder for asylum seekers to stay, or bring their family, and expects to deport the majority of them in less than 3 years.

Please read the official parliamentary protocols, and not the very wrong spin the media put on it.
There are a few coastal cities where apparently you can live your life 100% in English. You'll only have retired British people as neighbours though ;-)

Mobile websites were never very good. Websites either don't have one, or they have a cut down one that doesn't let you see the full site (e.g. the HSBC mobile site only lets you check balances - wtf?). Combine that with huge cookie warnings and ads that take up most of the screen and you end up with a pretty bad experience.
Back to OA and my UK perspective. You've seen the reaction to the mild austerity (compared to, say, Greece or even Spain) in the Brexit vote. Go too far down the 'race to the bottom' thing and you'll see a lot more reacting. There are political limits and neo-libralism is only one possible perspective, not a natural law.

Go vs. Erlang feels like a pretty difficult comparison to make because they feel entirely different. Erlang isn't a bad language, but it never felt like more than a very flexible DSL to me. If you look at OTP with a critical eye, it's actually not much more than a lot of tooling on top of a state monad; and my limited experience with using the language professional makes me feel like you're buying a lot of code complexity and you need a very strong group of people with a lot of erlang experience to make that complexity pay off. Some of the process management and hot code updates and such that used to be really beneficial are less beneficial now that we have so many other solutions to managing containers and microservices, and the language itself, while functional, never really felt to me like it was achieving the power and expressiveness of other functional languages I've used. A lot of that seems cultural; I wrote a little toy monadic library in Erlang when I was trying to help teach some coworkers about ideas from other functional languages and how we could use them in our codebase (https://github.com/rebeccaskinner/erl_m) but I don't see a lot of libraries like that coming out of the wider Erlang community- there seems to be a much stronger focus on solving a single concrete problem than on making development in the language better overall.

As for Go, I do like the language- well enough that I took another job where I'll be mostly using it. I can't quite shake the feeling that some of the syntactical and stylistic choices were made more to be different than because they are better, but I can move past them. I think goroutines and channels have a lot of potential as atoms of concurrency for building models going forward, and I think it's nice to see a language gaining popularity that is focused on being small (in the sense of the size of the spec) and simple (in terms of feature interactions). I don't think a lot of it's potential has been realized yet, and I hope that we can take some of the lessons learned from other languages, e.g. Conduits and FRP from Haskell. For right now I've seen enough cases of people introducing threading errors and problems introduced by the user of pointers that I think it pays to be wary of third party libraries.
Besides, the name suggests a new Scheme implementation rather than cryptographic software.
"Being an 'AAVE' speaker severely limits your economic opportunity" is an extraordinary claim for which you have provided no evidence whatsoever.

A claim that is easy to generate evidence for, because it is true, is that being black severely limits your economic opportunity. That, of course, is a boring claim; numerous studies have demonstrated the discrimination black people endure based simply on their names. Should they, in the interests of "fully integrating", change those as well?

This comment was written in response to a poorly argued comment that has now, with the introduction of "talk like hoodlums", been edited into something worse.

>The only thing you can do with just intelligence is math (that can have some use later on) and philosophy (that's totally useless).

We already have vast amounts of knowledge on the internet. I can download all of wikipedia in an hour, and fit it on a flash drive. Most of the world's scientific papers and books are digitized and available.

The limiting factor is no longer knowledge. It's the ability to absorb knowledge. To be able to instantly find an obscure paper from 1930 that's relevant to your current thought, or know some random fact from some article you read years ago, etc. That's something AIs would have a huge advantage over humans at.

>Incredible amount of people have IQ over 130. If that was key factor to writing stuxnet there'd be new one each day.

Stuxnet wasn't written by one person. It was probably a huge team of intelligent people, who worked possibly for years.

But who says an AI can't be equivalent to a group of humans? If it has enough computing power, it could make copies of itself. And unlike humans it can communicate thoughts and plans instantly to it's other "selves".

And who says it has to work at the same speed humans work. Human brains run at maybe 100 hz. AI's built out of silicone could work thousands of times faster. Doing the same work, just in much shorter time.

>And they lose fortunes with significantly better statistical models, and better information (up to but excluding insider trading). When you sum up everything it's as random as it gets. Take a look at Warren Buffet bet against hedge funds.

Look it's simple math. If you can predict prices 1% more accurately than anyone else, then you can make a huge amount of money in the long run. Stock prices aren't random. They are determined by real events, mainly how much profit the company makes.

>but we have no idea how much technicalities lie ahead of us to figure to get to our dreams.

That's the point though. A superintelligent AI could figure out exactly what those technicalities are, and find the shortest route to that tech. If you went back in time to Blaise Pascal, if you took the right books and plans from the future, you could get them to CPUs in mere years. We could advance technologically much faster than we are, the limiting factor is the speed of invention, which is slow.
The original article addresses this very point on its last section, found on page 55.
Yeah, that's a hard problem. The computer can safely add contextual information but when it starts deciding that you don't need to see things you're really taking a risk. Personally I couldn't see myself trusting AR when I know it's blocking out parts of the world.

I don't see how AR would bombard its user with anything. It's your AR rig. Just, like, turn off push notifications or whatever.

Anywho, you could probably pay for solving the hard problem by charging advertisers for 1) the data on what ads the user sees and how long their eyes stay on them and 2) bidding to replace or not replace ads and 3) the data on what context the user is utilizing AR.

That being said...nobody's going to be wearing AR rigs in public for a long time. Maybe there's a niche where early adopters will wear AR rigs in public? Maybe something like Google Maps drivers? They're just driving around looking at stuff all day anyway. Maybe guided tours?
yee!

The media is going far too easy on Microsoft. MS isn't just resorting to "adware tactics." This is adware.
One person's "constraint" is another person's freedom. That is, having to make a separate app for Android and for iOS, not to mind having to deal with whatever BS the app store puts you with, etc...
I think the assessments given by many people are a bit silly. You can't be a bigot or a facist in voting for Brexit. It's absolutely ridiculous people overlook the basic issues at play such as Ireland having to charge for water or basically allowing an entire group to set up laws and have very little say in the process (Its an EU wide law and there's basically no say about it).

I think years from now once the enchantment of free movement is over people will realise the beast (Thte EU) that it is.
As of a month ago, we (as in the web) have finally got window.payment on the way (or whatever Apple and Google's different payment APIs are actually implemented as). I'm happy.
There is another difference. Imagine a world where websites have to be approved by the browser vendor in order to be loadable. That's a constraint of native apps.
There never was and never will be coherence in regards to this. Think of copycat crimes as a similar phenomena. Its basically a venting of poorly defined anger and frustration against anything "different".
Amazing!

I think I agree with your main point but your use of the word hoodlum is disconcerting. It demonstrates a bias inherant in your position. You are associating criminal behavior with a form of speech. I suspect this association of yours comes primarily from the media you consume.

Perhaps understanding the linguistics will help you and others from automatically having negative connotations about speakers of AAVE.
Matrix (the protocol) seems very interesting, I wasn't aware of it.
With all other words relating to absence of negation English uses the "binary toggle" interpretation (which is only binary as long as the described concept is binary). For example "Nobody is never not doing it" is equivalent to "nobody is at least sometimes doing it" is equivalent to "everybody never does it".

Two negations on different parts of the sentence also don't reinforce each other: "not everyone is not doing it" if equivalent to "some people are doing it".

To me treating double negative as reinforcement of the negation is a weird, unintuitive corner case that doesn't fit in the broader framework of the English language.
Are you saying academic linguists should write things they know are false, to fit better with your politics?
I'm a French speaker, not a French citizen.

Quebec is not the only non-France part of the world where French is spoken, and as a citizen of one of these parts, I still believe (like most French speakers) that French is, indeed, formally defined.

You are free to speak whatever dialect of French you like (or come up with your own), nobody is arguing against that. I'll speak my own just as well. That doesn't make it proper French.

One of the things Keillor handled so well in his story telling was the mostly insignificant but somehow important differences between Lutherans, Catholics, and the other denominations and religions. I grew up in a very small town in Ontario and it often felt like he had borrowed characters from my past (and then softened them and made them more likable).
But since you've already acknowledged that this is equally true of all dialects (that they form as a result of "mistakes") then why are you concentrating on it especially in regard to AAVE? Hmm...
That was true once, but Microsoft has since been reorganised internally, IIRC.

It's a question of differing incentives, I think. Pushing open-source and aggressively trying to reduce fragmentation are not really contradictory.
It leverages the official API so I don't see why not.
