> For now there is crisis and disintegration wherever I look: the eurozone is chronically dysfunctional, sunlit Athens is plunged into misery, young Spaniards with doctorates are reduced to serving as waiters in London or Berlin, the children of Portuguese friends seek work in Brazil and Angola

How much truth is there, to this statement i.e. "young Spaniards with PHDs are serving as Waiters in London or Berlin."

Anyone? I find it quite shocking and want to know if the Author is engaging in fear-mongering, or if Europe is indeed falling apart and the part about Greeks, young Spaniards and Portuguese peeps is true.
Living in one of the PIGS, I can tell there's not much going on here about leaving the EU. Nobody has seriously brought it up. That said, I see important problems in the EU going on now that must be solved:

1. I know the EU is completely against the "two-speed Europe". But that MUST be put in place if the EU is to survive. There's a clear divide between regions in the EU. It is a cultural divide in the way work is seen, perceived, in the way money is handled, on how corruption is seen by citizens, etc. That's why after decades the economies of the PIGS have not adjusted to the rest of the EU, and they probably will never adjust. It's a cultural thing that won't change.

Also, I suppose rich and poor countries don't equally agree with the amount socialism/interventionism the EU should be establishing. For example being from one of the PIGS I like interventionism from the EU because I see local politicians/courts/etc as useless. If you go to court and the verdict is stupid, you can go to a European court. But I suppose people from the north like their local politicians and courts and don't like it when the EU interferes.

2. Many people don't like immigrants. Whether that's racism or not, or whether those people can be educated or not... that's irrelevant. The EU is literally shoving immigrants down people's throats. Immigration from A8 countries MUST be regulated (end of Schengen) and also countries should be able to decide if they want Muslim refugees or not.

Remember this is just my opinion and what I've seen around me as a citizen of one of the PIGS.
There's a distinction to be made between permanent losses and market driven / unbooked losses. If the original investment thesis stands, ignoring day to day market changes is perfectly reasonable.
The approach I would have taken is to check the EXIF data in the photo to see what time it was taken. You could then look at historical records or news records to see about when the President left or landed at that airport on that day. If the time is closer to when he left its a take off, if it is before it is a landing.
I guess it depends heavily on what you define as an "OO language", but e.g. Scala has pretty decent support for Sum and Product types + pattern matching.

(If you don't do lenses or similar, it's still pretty tedious to deal with "deep updates", but that's coincidental. Lenses do solve this problem, although they're awful in practice in Scala.)

Totally agree if you're talking about e.g. Java or Python or even C#.

You can't have short-term, mass migration without having something happen or change. We will see a huge change in European political landscape within the next few years. People have to slowly assimilate into a culture in order to allow for a gradual, peaceful change in that culture. Shocking these types of systems with any sort of migration is a recipient for instability.

Please keep in mind that this isn't any sort of stupid anti-Muslim rhetoric, just a geopolitical observation. I think if you look at the United States you'll see a model of Muslim integration.

Indeed; you can see some links in my profile. Our product is unquestionably a big-ticket, slow-moving, long-sales-cycle kind of thing.

> the idea that this kind of model could translate to everyone is a prime example of socio-economic ignorance... It's a wealthy baby-boomer piece written from the stance of someone who's never wanted or struggled for anything.

Nowhere in the article does he claim any such thing. It's just a guy telling how he raised his kids up. What's bugging you?

actually, I think a lot of the points he makes about raising kids are applicable to less-fortunate families. Doing chores, their approach to schooling, food, family vacations, community service, backpacking and camping and in general self discipline do not require having lots of money. It just requires that parents be attentive.
I agree, I don't know much about digital marketing but I know that anecdotal evidence, which is all the author is presenting, is next to useless. I've heard other claims from people about how they made enormous sums on facebook.

The real issue is that neither of these claims constitute data. Only large scale research tracking traffic across many websites would let us come to meaningful conclusions and that sort of research is something I haven't seen yet . . . which is likely why we are stuck with all these he said she said stories about how social media is a useless moneysink or a veritable gold mine depending on who you ask

Wait, but then the question of "what is good?" arises... What makes someone a "good human being"? And how does this tie in with "having a good life"?

Then rises the question of "how do I not get fucked over in life?" as well. So it gets confusing.

Where to even beging, is good universal? Do the criteria that make "a good being" good constant, or does it mutate over time?

I there a single, or even multiple non-contradicting, right answer to this question? What is good?.

I doubt anyone could effectively do that... I mean, sure, you can do pet projects in each area and then google up solutions when it comes to a live project at your work, but I dont think this is how it should work.
> This is something which really has to come from the funding agencies and foundations in order to be effective.

Yes. A great deal of science and engineering funding comes from the U.S. government, which ultimately is derived from the taxpayers. If taxpayers demanded access to the research they've already funded, rather than having to pay an arbitrary third-party middleman an exorbitant fee, things might change very rapidly.

Unfortunately, this is pretty low on the average citizen's list of issues. There won't be a march on Washington for open access journals any time soon.
European Union is not working because too many different economies are in the eurozone. I was a fervent Pro-EU, now realising a federation of independent countries might work better than a superstate.

I suppose you didn't stay in France after the brexit. Seeing all the mess that it triggered, such as the fact that uk went behind france almost instantly in economic rankings, all this pretty much made everyone here realize those kind of votes do have consequences.

Now what it triggered is also that every single politician talks about reforming europe ( borders mainly, but also politicaly).

All in all, i'd say it pretty much tighten bounds across european countries than the opposite...until britain suddenly experience an extraordinary growth, that is.
I may have missed it but he didn't actually say how he made sure his kids could pay for college. Of course having a good work ethic is a great advantage but there is no mention of if his children took jobs, saved their allowance or are still paying off student debt.

Also their days seem extremely long with breakfast at 5:15 and curfew between 10 and 12. Surely more than 5hours sleep is beneficial for small children.
Not implying at all that tech companies are deliberately abusing their contractors. My point was that because Microsoft did do so back in the 80's (and got slammed by the courts for it), now everybody is scared to even appear to treat contractors the same as FTEs.

I don't know all the ins and outs of FTE vs contractor vs vendor (I'm a geek, not an HR person), but presumably there are business reasons for choosing one over the other. "One's cheaper" is an obvious one, but there are probably others (taxes? liability? who knows. me write code).

There are definitely cases where job functions at major tech companies have been converted from vendor/contractor to FTE (Google physical security officers is one I personally know of. Presumably there are others).

>dealing with immutable data in OO languages is tedious and error prone

I don't think this is a problem ingrained in OO. You could very easily conceive of an "OO" language that has separate constructs for objects (mutable) and data (immutable) and there would be no problem at all. Immutable data just happens to be common in functional languages but there's no reason you couldn't introduce it to an "OO" language.

Just to be the contrarian, the timing chain failed on my Saturn at 70k miles, and the engine was destroyed.

If a bike chain breaks, the bike isn't destroyed, though it could be hazardous if you're honking up a hill when it happens. But for the most part, chains wear out and you replace them.

In my view, the benefit of the belt is not lifetime, but the lack of oil, making it cleaner. With that said, I don't have a belt drive bike, but would consider it if I ever get a new bike.
I guess I'm in the demographic the article was written for, although my kids and I are a good decade too young to be the parents while also too old to be the children. I read the whole thing and I didn't see where it specified it was advice for working class America. I specifically did a text search on some common words and phrases and still don't see where its being mistargeted. Have to take your word for it, I guess.

I didn't think it would be terribly difficult to switch gears, for example I'm so old we didn't have "Advanced Placement" classes we had an equally trendy older name for the same concept. Likewise as a kid I got worn out yard sale bicycles and an infinite supply of parts and toolbox access. Same general idea. Or both myself and my kids are expected to upgrade desktop computers not cars, although I have no driving age kids (barely, yet)

There are indications that the story is completely imaginary. I never had any trouble affording an old beater of a car as a teen, the absolutely killer expense is insurance, and now that most "teen kid jobs" have been taken over by illegal alien laborers I'm not sure how anyone, parent or teen, could handle the immense cost of automobile insurance for a teen boy.

Likewise you can harumpf and preach all you want about who should pay for what part of school, but financial aid forms used to assume a certain $$$ from the parents and if you didn't get that $$$ you simply didn't go to college, it really is that simple. I had Army GI Bill money, whatever, but most people don't have many options.

Another false aspect is the peculiar sleep schedule of 10-5, that just doesn't sound realistic. Maybe the author was thinking of older teens going on dates rather than little kids. Little kids sleep like 10 hours per day, and their pediatrician thinks nothing is wrong about that.

Paying for weddings also sounds weird, even assuming its a boomer. Everyone in my cohort got married well after leaving the nest and having whatever passes for a career started. It must be very awkward for a older singles to ask mom for money to get married. The days of everyone got married at 18 or 22 seem like WWII generation or even older. The $250K wedding seems very nouveau riche and not really culturally acceptable outside hollywood movie sitcoms, although I suppose it depends where (and when) you live. Generally if it costs more than the divorce will, you're probably living in a hollywood movie.

Yet there are indications the story was written by an actual parent. The old trick of providing the false choice is probably as old as parenting.
I think #2 varies widely within the EU. Immigration from outside the EU (especially Muslim immigration) is a hot-button issue everywhere, but intra-EU immigration is a less contentious issue in many countries. In the UK there is a lot of opposition to immigration from eastern Europe in general (and the proverbial "Polish plumber" is a fixture of political debate), but that's not as big a worry in, say, Germany, where people are mostly worried about Syrians and not very concerned about Poles.
Then why write it at all?

The entire piece is structured as a piece to inform. It's not written as a piece to entertain -- That structure would include things like anecdotes, stories, little events that happened that reinforce or express a point, e.g. "This one time Sam really did a bad job fixing his car and...".

The piece is clearly a piece to inform. Yes, he acknowledges his affluence at the very beginning, but that doesn't mean he's aware of what a 'normal' income is and the problems and struggles that entails or his circumstance is wildly different than that of the average family.
On the bright side, these Electron apps work on Linux, whereas I'd be stuck running the ill-maintained web version (if one even existed) otherwise.
They probably just mean proof of purchase. The other important bit is the serial number (analogous to a car's VIN), often found under the bottom bracket.[0] You can (and should) register it with the local police, and there are a few online registries too. It's not an effective deterrent[1], but it's better than nothing. (I've had a bike returned to me because I registered it. That was before I learned to always use Kryptonite U-locks.)

I'm not really familiar with the literature in this area, so sorry if this sounds dumb. But what you're saying here seems to make sense and sounds almost profound - like there's a vast amount of research (game theory) that's immediately related in some way. Is there somewhere I can read more about the relationship?

Whether or not you personally agree to the social contract, so long as you own property or have personal integrity protected in any way by the functions of a state, you are a beneficiary of the social contract. In its absence, you have rights solely to the extent that the strength of your own limbs can ensure them.
I didn't mean to imply that stock markets were not important, just that "allocating resources" in the sense that parent meant, e.g. "How many people does a company making spoons gets to hire or should we put more of them on webforum moderation ?", being its primary purpose seems like a stretch (except for the occasional new IPO / stockholders' meeting). If anything, venture capital and as you mentioned, debt markets are closer to this idea of allocating resources.

My main point really was that the examples parent gave seemed much closer to examples of market economics in general and would hold true, with or without stock markets.
You are very correct, but it depends on what your country has received.

My country for example received millions of Romanians/Bulgarians back in the day, so that's what people were against. There was a huge construction bubble, and they came en masse, leaving many locals without a job. As soon as the construction bubble popped, they left en masse. They also greatly increased the insecurity here, with really recurrent news about thefts committed by Romanians, pickpockets, etc. News were flooded with those events. So, you can imagine what the locals ended up thinking of them.

Natives wouldn't say anything negative about rest of slavs, Poles, etc because they simply never met them.

And if something else has (or grabs) focus and the scripted input doesn't go where you're hoping it will, does the bug report get marked "can't reproduce" and closed?

I'll freely confess I'm not up on the current automated testing tools for Windows apps, but I'm hoping they're more sophisticated that "point and pray" keyboard spamming.

My concern with the approach you describe is that there are many categories of application problems that are not reasonably reproducible with a PowerShell script, some that are reproducible only with a sophisticated script, and some that are trivially reproduced.

For the trivial ones that are easily reproduced my feeling is that a quick description going to the developers will probably let them reproduce it more easily in a development environment with appropriate code stops that would be adversely affected by automated keyboard injection directly to Windows. For Windows app development if I put in a code stop to inspect state after each keypress, blowing 64 extra "A"s into my dev environment after the stop is unlikely to be helpful.

For problems that require more sophisticated scripting to reproduce, I'm unconvinced that I want to be requiring that all testers be able to write sophisticated test scripts. Maybe you have a ton of VC money and feel that burn rate isn't relevant, but that doesn't describe everyone. Sure, I want some good automated test scripts and the ability to say "When we run script XYZ with input set ABC it blows up" but scripting reproduction of every scenario? (expletive) no.

Basically you're putting up a sign that says "I don't care what problems you have found, if they can't be reproduced with an automated script I will reject them." That doesn't keep those problems from existing or being found, it just ensures that you don't try to fix them and eventually (if you're still around) it means that you don't hear about them either. That may never cause real problems, or someday you may get an email from Tavis Ormandy or someone you have even less desire to hear from.

Edit: it just occurred to me - basically this is a "captcha" system for bug reporting, but one with the potential for arbitrary puzzle difficulty potentially unrelated to problem severity or reproducability.
