But the EU has much less qualms about restricting and violating the freedom of their citizens. We have no free speech like the US. Massive data collection laws are passed without any large backlash regularly.
I still support aggressive competition from the EU simply because the EU needs to stand on its own legs but don't pretend that it's for privacy of its citizens. I guess maybe if you explain it in a roundabout way, it is for our privacy.. privacy from US institutions, well that counts for something too, sure.

"The irony given Trump’s campaign assaults on Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email service is of course obvious."

I think it is quite different to be using a private email address (server!) you control absolutely because you want to deny the people their right to know your devotion to Wall Street or, you use it for a Twitter account. What's up with all this official stuff on Twitter anyway? It all sounds very unprofessional to choose a specific company for your communication over another, as a politician. What's wrong with a website or a blog or an RSS feed?
My hope - perhaps naïvely so - is that President Trump will be the kick in our complacency that we so desperately need. Even if for all the wrong reasons. Both in the US and the EU.
That's a great title for a self-help book. I'll read it once I finish 'How to look out the window'. It never occurred to me that obsessive email checking could be a distraction or a negative thing, but now someone has done a study of 124 people it has made me sit up and think, but alas I can't figure out how to stop so I'll need someone to tell me.

Pure functional languages often do not use the same data structures common in imperative languages. Instead there's an emphasis on persistent structures that copy on write while sharing as much data as possible.

For instance, prepending to a linked list results in a new head node, but nothing is actually copied. Appending requires a full copy. A developer has to be aware of where the limitations of these data structures are, but I think that's true of using any library in any language.

I noticed there were many edge cases in it but it happened to cover a lot of issues inside some C++11 code I'd written and I find out it quite enlightening, particularly the section regarding reference collapsing, type deduction and the bit on threading really not working like you would expect.

I have not read the previous ones so not really sure on the style difference with them. I wonder if it depends on the sort of code you were writing - I was making use of std::thread and incorrectly assuming a certain behaviour.

The premise of figwheel combined with react actually seems pretty impressive. I've been thinking about learning Clojure(Script) for a while now, so I decided to dabble with it a bit. I already attempted to learn some common lisp about two years ago, so the lisp syntax wasn't a total shock for me.

On the other hand, I have to say that I'm not a fan of how Leiningen handles - which would not be too big of a problem if the manpage was more informative. But hey, maybe I'll catch on later.
You already have that, it's not uncommon for those who immigrate to Europe to throw away their passports claim they are Christian and under age in order to not fear deportation and pretty much be immediately accepted.

What employer is willing to strike "Must perform assigned duties"? Or any of the many other clauses which are essential to an employment contract?

There are always things in contracts which can't be struck out. You can always ask to strike it out, and declare your intention to find future employees at their company.

From their point of view, you'd be saying that when you left you'd potentially take millions of $s of other employees with you and disrupt their operations. Why would they employ you?

Not poaching your employer's employees within a certain timeframe is a perfectly normal and reasonable clause.

You've got confidential information on their employees, namely which ones are good, which work well with you, etc., things you'd normally spend a lot of time + money finding out. And they spent a lot of money advertising, vetting, hiring, training and integrating those employees.
Do you really not understand the point that religious discrimination is historically undistinguishable from racism?

Their sister company just created the first fully electric bike share programme in Exeter, UK https://www.co-bikes.co.uk/ I think this is the key thing bike share programmes are missing to get 'normal' people on board. Bicycles are great exercise, ebikes are simply the quickest and easiest way to travel around cities.

Bath Hacked were able to get hold of the NextBike Bath hire data for the scheme. Hire stations even on slight hills had significantly less usage. These bikes are heavy and people that rent them are not used to cycling. Lot of people taking bikes from the station on the hill, but very very few to the station. We also found a huge number of circular rides (back to the same station) i.e. tourists/locals using them for leisure rides.

The following video shows all the rides by hour of day rides are taken excluding circular hires. The station with very few rides is top right ("Sulis"). Note how there are a bunch of drunk students riding them back to halls around 3am in the morning ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AfocuESnSg

Even if your city is flat, electric bikes will make a big difference to uptake. The mistake people make is that the people that get the council to implement these schemes are usually keen cyclists and are 'ok' with a bit of strenous cycling. That is not 95% of your potential customer base.

PS: Would be good to see co-bike's hire data at some point and the impact elevation had on hires.
not only that, but even when you have a resource with a long cache time, and cache-control public, the browser will still do a request for the file headers (a conditional request - one that serves the content if it has changed/doesn't match what the browser expects)

so an immutable resource wouldn't even need that request

>Now it's going to have to construct each string, then create a new string with all three. More creation & copying means things get slower.

There's nothing about the ++ syntax that makes it necessarily so. The compiler/interpreter could understand that we're getting a concatenated string and automatically only create one.

Which is the case in several languages.
You made a much stronger statement than that one very prominent case worker was killed (who published two books.) You said "these people will probably die". Your reference about it is interesting.

The Wikipedia page says Litvinenko published two books on the inner workings of the KGB. (And he would be in a position to know about them.) So, in those books, which I haven't read, does he claim that the KGB goes around killing its agents these days? Does anyone else claim that?

Does the CIA go around killing KGB agents and vice versa?

By the way a some time ago someone claiming to be from the CIA[1] said to me that the CIA thought I was a Russian spy and to cut it out - I'm visiting Georgia with a friend and I'm really concerned if spies are killing each other. I don't want anyone anywhere killing me etc for any reason.

So, I would like to know this information. you know, so I don't end up dead. I actually have zero reason to visit Georgia other than one of my friends going (who I've known for years and I would be incredibly surprised if I learned they're a spy - that's not my impression at all). But I'm curious about like, "what's the worst that could happen".

Georgia had some Russian political issues and tourist advice for some parts of it says, "hey don't go there"[2]

[1] I have zero evidence to back this up and am not inclined to believe him.

[2] https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/georgia -- unforutnately the US page is 404: https://ru.usembassy.gov/warning-south-ossetia-abkhazia.html

but the URL refers to "south essetia" which is in Red in the first link, and says "advise against all travel". So I am concerned about political stability, etc.
This is something I think Rust solves very nicely.

The ownership model gives the benefits of immutability (no shared mutable state and race conditions) without the need to copy most of the time.
My fear is that this gives the EU commision a justified target (US tech companies) when they look for something to bargain with once Trump fires first shots at EU (German) car companies (which he will).

A EU directive could look something like:

* EU citizen data must not leave the EU to the US since EU citizen privacy is not respected there

* If US tech companies are not able to segregate data (difficult for small tech companies and e.g. Facebook) they will be blocked

And there we have it. The balkanization of the (western world) Internet.

If it's so bad, then you take the lead and provide a different idea.
The damage of small-scale bribery may be much greater than the actual money that changes hands. If I were to suddenly be appointed to high office, I wouldn't know how to be corrupt even if I wanted, and I wouldn't want to because I had not experienced it even once and therefore consider it a particularly immoral crime.

And – at the risk of erring on the side of naiveté – I could imagine that major corruption such as the one you mention is actually easier to control. Public procurement, for example, is required to happen in open EU-wide bids. That means you get British (German/Dutch/Polish/...) companies involved in the process with a financial interest to investigate corruption.

Israel has been treating wounded Syrians since the conflict started.

The number of Syrian refugees fleeing to Israel is also nearly zero, 70 years of propaganda would do it for it as well as Israel not being a welfare state.

Overall you can say the same thing about most Gulf nations, only with one exception they have more cash than both Israel and Sweden and they are both culturally and ethnically more similar.

Considering that many of the Muslim refugees are Sunni, a better question would be why didn't Saudi Arabia and rest of the Oil club didn't take most if not all of them.

The blurting has no bounds. I recently had someone tell me over slack that the company is contemplating a spin-off, blurting out a few lines describing the strategy, and asked if I could get back to them on possible system implementations / integrations / ideas. There were blurts along the lines of, 'and if we can't find a saas offering to integrate with, we might have to build our own, but maybe we should make it generic because there could be a market for it.....'. I was basically thinking, 'how about you fucking idiots carefully document a well considered, serious proposal, and then ask my advice. Or invite me to a brain-storming session, in person, so we have an actual discussion.'

The guy was a highly paid executive. I don't understand how he could have been under duress. (Is Elon Musk really hiring desperate people who have no options?)

What if the employer hired a person under duress, like they were in desperate need of some particular skill. Does that mean they can decide not pay the person?

I've had employers strike clauses that I didn't agree with. Contracts are hardly written in stone tablets. If contracts were non-negotiable and were employees' only option, everyone would be working for minimum wage.
Building common knowledge of what choosing particular brands means. If you know everyone has seen those ads with some folks relaxing on a beach with a Corona, then you know that people will think you are laid-back when you bring Corona to a party.

This is why super bowl ads are more expensive per viewer, because the audience can expect their social group to have also seen the ads.

It reminds me of the talk about how "diet advice changes constantly" but even given the very human foibles in any recommended diet (e.g. genuine mistakes, oversimplifying to communicate better, industry pressure, inertia in the face of new evidence) I still don't remember anyone saying "fruit and vegetables are bad for you" or "eat as many calories as you like, it's cool", "don't exercise, that's for suckers" or anything on that scale, so while you can bring up specific issues, they'll be blips in the big picture.

I'd guess the same applies to attacks on "the mainstream media".

What is different in Erlang is that strings are a bit messed up in that they are linked lists of numbers. What you are suggesting (constructing the actual string in-place) works fine in Erlang, too, but has a bit of a funky syntax:

welcome_user(Username) ->
<< <<"Welcome ">>/binary, Username/binary, <<"!">>/binary >>.

However, the main advantage of using io_lists instead is that `["Welcome", Username, "!"]` has constant complexity with regard to the length of `Username`.
