They are voted into the Bundestag, where they must represent what they signed off to represent. You can't just 180 from what you defined as your goals, or the Verfassungsschutz can fuck a party over.
Honestly, read their Election program.
They have many things in common with even the left parties, like SPD and Die Linke.
They are for the minimum wage, they want to extend unemployment benefits to be combined with the amount someone has worked, so people that worked for long don't fall into bankruptcy just for being layed off and have to move. This will help immigrants as well, compared to parties like the FDP which are against a minimum wage for all without limiting rules.

I don't think a hardcap on legal immigrants combined with a border partrol to stop illegal ones is Xenophobic. The argument is founded, as Bavaria's social system collapsed for couple of months last year when the big immigration wave came. I'm aginst a border patrol and hard cap, but the AFD is in no way Xenophobic for wanting it the other way.

That SEC memo was weak. They should have made much more forceful statement. Thousands (likely tens of thousands) of US citizens are still investing in ICOs, there needs to be much stronger action taken to stop their gambling.

Sounds crazy at first but then... makes sense. Obviously, I wouldn't push myself to Libin level, although eating 5 days normally and then for 2 days a really reduced amount of food doesn't seem so difficult to achieve. But what about dietitians, claiming, that you HAVE TO eat 5 meals a day? Personally, I can't fit so many meals to my busy work-studies schedule...
It's a false equivalency, comparing Trump supporters to similar in other countries. The AfD gets 5% of the vote. Trump got nearly 50% of the vote. Every population has its extremist idiots, but for nearly 50% of voters to willingly cast their vote for such an obscenely obvious conman? No, the AfD situation is nothing like Trump - there is no danger of AfD 'running the show'.

> I've always felt that it's a bit ironic for people consuming animal products to be critical of breeders. Kinda passing responsibilities on them so tadaaa ! No more consumer guilt.

Its relative, not absolute, and history teaches us we need to be critical of farmers. The recent fipronil scandal only underlines that. Our government failed as well, don't get me wrong.

If you want to reduce harm done to sentient beings (or animals with a CNS) there are many ways to achieve that. Yes, the best way would be going vegan overnight, but that is tough for an individual and quite unrealistic to achieve society-wise. Right now, we are better off reducing meat consumption (ie. via 'meatless monday' initiative) since we don't need to consume that much meat to begin with. If you eat less meat, you can use that money to eat quality meat. Eventually we can irregularly eat lab meat. So, yes, we should be critical to ourselves as well. But that's a different, and very complex discussion (I'm on a Facebook group where this is the main subject, finding the grey between the two extremes and supporting each other).

(Also as a side note there are some non-animal products which are rather bad for GHG emission, btw.)

Anecdata: Can be at least 15x faster in Europe (NL) than US.

I moved from the US to NL. I've had a (similar) knee operation in both places, on the same knee. Both times involved an ER visit, referral to specialist, planning an MRI, getting a diagnosis, consultation with specialists, surgery, and physical therapy. The Dutch system was approximately 15x faster than the US system (Kaiser): 10 days from ER to OR, vs 5 months in the US. My brother is currently going through a different problem which is following the same trajectory as my knee, when I ask my Dutch doctor friend he is astonished at the hoops my brother has to go through to get action taken.

US:

* ER - unable to straighten knee (incredible pain). Happened before but never for this long. After many hours and extreme pain, it finally clicked into place in the ER.

* Schedule GP visit for referral to specialist (can't go directly!) Took forever.

* Schedule Specialist visit. Took forever.

* Specialist said it happens sometimes, could be several things, best to wait and see.

* 2nd ER visit required. Scheduled a specialist (not available for 30+ days). Talked to a out-of-plan specialist, said the problem was clear: it's the meniscus, you need an MRI to confirm, and will probably need surgery to remove parts or stitch it in place.

* Specialist appointment. Still wanted to delay an MRI. Lots of foot-stomping, finally scheduled an MRI (30 days later).

* In the meantime, another ER visit.

* Quite some time between MRI and specialist consultation. Diagnosis was clear. Surgery scheduled for a month later.

* Operation. Gives me some crutches and tells me to schedule PT for 30 days from operation.

* PT can't be scheduled, 30 days haven't passed! Once 30 days passes, PT can be scheduled. First availability is 30 days in the future (AAAAAAH).

NL:

* ER visit (same issue again out of the blue).

* Specialist sees me the same day. MRI is busy with higher-priority issues, schedules me for 2 days later. No GP approval. Doesn't need or want my info from the US, doesn't want to 'wait and see', just get and MRI and we will probably see the problem clearly!

* MRI. I wait in the hospital, discuss the results with the specialist 2-3 hours later. Plans an operation less than a week away.

* Operation, immediately discusses PT. Two In-plan PT organizations that the surgeon recommends are not available (fully booked), so she schedules me with an (also recommended) out-of-plan PT, and writes a letter to my insurer. They cover it.

So yeah, socialized medicine rocks.

Out of interest, how is a cap on immigration xenophobic?

Is the mere introduction of a cap xenophobic? Or is there some set limit on the cap you could have, below which you are xenophobic?

I know the answer is probably 'X type of people want this cap on immigration, therefore the cap on immigration is X-ist!', but just wanted to make sure.

Does this spell trouble for Ethereum? Without ICOs (one of it's major features if not the most important one) what else will drive the price speculation?

I believe prices are inflated because of ICOs. People are buying tokens counting on ICO hype to increase their value so they can flip their initial invested principal with 2x/3x/4x return.

Without ICOs this speculative technique will not be possible so we will see how many people are actually interested in buying these worthless tokens because they believe in their "features", rather than speculate on their price.

I wonder though if the speculation will just move from China to other countries though and the bubble will continue until there is more action by regulators around the world against this.

Lots of people dislike ICOs, some for good reasons. But ICOs is a general mechanism and the specifics differ. Are some ICOs ponzi schemes? Sure. But this move is about capital controls, little else. I am surprised so many people are defending this as a good thing. Do you want to outlaw all VC money too?

> I'm sure this could be the case but I'm not convinced that their license to the content would be so specific as to require the delivery of the content video/audio together, or must be played in the foreground.

Their music licenses absolutely definitely do, unless it's a paid subscription service.

The music labels do not want anyone to be able to build something that might be a free competitor to Spotify. So you may only implement listening to anything you want (as opposed to a random playlist such as Pandora or iTunes Radio) if the service is a paid subscription one, probably with a minimum price point similar to Spotify, or if it cannot play audio in the background with the screen off on mobile.

Licensing is a patchwork, so there's the odd exception missed, or from a VERY old deal, but that's essentially the market if you want to license music.

Appdexa’s Ideas to Be Productive at Work

This question just came after when I was watching House M.D. episodes :)

Question is right, I did not understand other commenters saying that it started with a false premise. People lie, people cheat, people kill and they corrupt. That is why we have police, that is why we have prisons, etc.

My personal solution is to interact with as less people as I can in my daily life. I have friends which I know and chose to be my friends; other than that, although I know not everyone is a bad person; I choose to interact as minimum as possible.
> I think that people that disregard Polymer fail to understand that Web Components are already here.

No. Polymer is here. As Rob Dodson said, "Polymer is the jQuery of WebComponents".

No one in their right mind would even think about writing and using WebComponents in vanilla JS.

Hence we're coming back to the problem with WebComponents: they are a solution in search of a problem.
Because you and the SEC know much better than all of them?

You know we're talking about the same SEC that didn't saw the real estate bubble coming in 2007/08 (size > trillions, CDOs are obviously fine) or the dotcom bubble in 2000 (size > trillions, they approved the IPOs, right)?

If so, please give me reasons (instead of opinions or references to SEC "authority") as to why the ICOs in a 175 bn market are "dangerous".
If Java goes its spot will be filled in less time than it takes to think about it.

Paper Making Felt
WealthTech: 4 Tech Opportunities to Change Asset Management with Data Science
I have a nice project idea: build a replacement for HP's iLO (integrated lights out) system. Basically, all it needs to do is provide remote power and reset buttons for a server. An advanced version could also provide a remote keyboard, mouse, video, and port for an USB stick. The main reason why I'd want this is because HP's support system is a mess, iLO is expensive, and restricted to HP servers.

I think it could be done with a Raspberry Pi, and hopefully with minimal soldering inside the server itself.

That's a good point, and it might indeed be a self-selection kind of thing. I'm not an expert and I don't have the data there.

But I don't even mean making a transition, you can do nothing but Python or JS and still hit the wall. Because eventually you'll need to understand the lower level concepts to do better, even with higher level languages and libraries.

It's the reason that learning to program, and program well, is not 100x faster than it was 50 years ago, despite all the claimed benefits of this or that language or framework or whatever. Eventually you need to know what's going on under the hood.

Also worth noting that I primarily use JS in my day to day work, and it does what I need it to do. Not saying super high level languages aren't useful, just that they're not a good starting point IMO.

Having been in these kinds of negotiations many times over the 15 years I've been in business, and having never been sued nor ever had a deal go seriously wrong, the dad's advice seems perfectly sound.

That is like saying "my grandfather smoked 3 packs and drank half a liter of bourbon a day, and died peacefully in his sleep aged 108, so all this talk about cancer and liver failure is baloney".

Exactly this. When editing a news-stand magazine I consistently preferred standard capitalisation over companies' own attempts to stand out via ever more creative orthography.

It will slow the crazy growth if ICOs are regulated in some countries, but it may also prevents a total collapse of the whole unhealthy ICO bubble that we've seen this year.
You're also right with regards to speculation - it seems to me like most buyers of ICO tokens don't care about the project at all, they merely want to make a quick buck by selling the tokens after the crowdsale at a higher price.
