If they just wanted to have a referendum they could have planned this ages ago. Instead they suddenly announced it in the middle of negotiations, without even telling their own delegates. And then they set the date after the deadline and say they will campaign against it themselves.

To me this looks like either an attempt to stall for time or an attempt to shift the blame for to the EU, no matter what happens.

Why should the EU play along and extend the bailout any longer, throwing more good money after bad?
I just listened to his argument against Kurzweil in "Why do AI proponents think machines will one day be like humans?" video. Basically he says Kurzweil with his graphs argues computers will get faster till their computing power is on a par with that of the neurones in the brain but just making computers faster will not make them human like, it will just make them do existing computer stuff faster. Kurzweil however does not argue that - he argues the software will improve as the computers get faster due to lots of people, himself included, working on it.

Public service announcement: It's best to use "example.com" (or .net, .org, etc) for this sort of thing, because there's no real server there to accidentally send traffic to or alter the search rankings of.

It's not usually that big a deal, but every so often someone will paste the wrong thing or an automated process will misinterpret something. It's better if this happens to a nonexistent domain.
Maybe I should make the argument as to why ETS is not garbage collected. It is a pragmatic solution to an often occurring problem in software.

You have a lot of data.

You rarely change that data.

You still have to walk over it when you garbage collect.

ETS allows you to store Erlang terms into a tuple space outside the heap of any process. This means you avoid garbage collecting, and you can have 120 gigabyte of RSS, but only have to collect 400 megabytes of those. If you look at how many "mmap" implementations there are for GC'ed languages, and if you have ever reached for one, you know what I'm talking about.

Argentina has a notorious counterfeit currency problem. Did you have any problems on the black market exchanges ensuring that all the currency you were getting was real?

In middle school (the only time when I had any sort of bullying problem at school), the problems all stemmed from gym class. The school system had decided to send both the GT and the emotionally-disturbed students to the same school, but the only place where the two groups ended up mixing was gym class. Well, maybe some elective courses as well, but I never had any problems there.

I think that the bullying only really ended up happening (both in and out of school) when there was no adult supervision. I'm not entirely certain, though, since I have tried to purge my memories of what happened during those times.
It doesn't matter whose debt their defaulting on. They will be suspect borrowers for decades to come. They'll have a harder time getting loans from any country in the west or east. Their business and government infrastructure will suffer the consequences from the decisions of this current government. This will end badly for them and the ramifications will last decades.

If you don't believe me ask an Argentinian.

I find all SpaceX launches to be "slow" compared to (some) other launches. But this is mostly due to the Falcon not having any solid rocket motors: These produce a massive amount of thrust (far higher than liquid engines) and thus a high accelerating force right from the beginning. You can see that in e.g. Shuttle launches or the recent Vega launch (all solid motor), compare them to other liquid-only rocket motor launches.

@taclu1: Thanks!
I'm aware of Zing and I'm pretty sure it would fare way better in this kind of problem. However, I'm inclined to guess that every time you sink 1 hour of work into BEAM, there is somewhere between 5-15 hours sunk into OpenJDK and other VMs in Java space. It wins many competitions by brute force alone.

Furthermore, Erlang has some things against it in the speed department:

It is forced functional.

It is dynamically typed (A tracing JIT can somewhat alleviate this problem).

But I think the BEAM architecture is pretty sound. It has a lot of things in common with a micro kernel, architecturally. And while micro kernels are not popular currently, they see a lot of use in the embedded space, on sattelite's and so on.

You misread. The problem was that it was written in the form of if Windows do this, else do something that only works on OS X. The alternative is an explicit if for OS X, so that when you have a third OS to support you don't have to add that.

It's actually the opposite: We're great at speciality, high-tech stuff, but we don't do commodity contract manufacturing as well as China. The good part of this is that the former has far better margins than the latter.
I don't see how it makes sense to focus on a single study in 1953. Most of the comments here imply that this study found the truth, which has been ignored or forgotten since then. On the other hand, the mainstream claims to have come to a different conclusion on diet based on a huge number of other studies [0][1]. If you're going to use this study as evidence for low carb diets, you have to explain why this particular study is so important, why it was better designed or otherwise more conclusive that studies that came before/after it, etc. Otherwise this is just cherry picking.

My brother and I were home educated from end of primary up to 18 years old or so. My brother totally believes in home education, and (not but!) is now a primary school teacher, after having gone on to do his degree and masters in universities in the UK.

We found European home educators are often much more "anarchist" in the sense of this article, liberal, free-thinking, non-conforming, often of non-traditional religion / spirituality, who think the state system is too narrow, limited, and structured. In the States it's much more right-wing religious exclusionists who think the system is too liberal, unstructured, and ungodly. A very very weird difference of culture.

My mum wrote a lot about home education, here's her site with all kinds of info about getting started, details about what we did, etc: http://home-ed.info/

I loved it, and it was perfect for me. My brother loves regime and structure, so would probably have done fine in school. I'm much less academic, and do a whole mixture of jobs (acting, teaching, programming, writing, A/V, electronics, etc.) in a non-profit organisation. Almost all stuff that I learned as a kid, with the oceans of free time that I had, and my friends in school didn't. I worked in a theatre company for 3 years, and did school-work in the evenings, or when I had time. I taught myself to code.

With our kids now, my wife (non-home-educated) is a bit skeptical of her ability to home-school. Our son is still too young (he's one). I certainly wouldn't object to him going to school - providing it doesn't interfere with his education too much. :-)
As an ignorant layperson, I kind of assume we could. A virtual machine thinks it has a network card and a hard disk and whatever, but it's just being given what it expects to see.

The problem I was imagining is that right now we're not recording that data in the way that we're, e.g. scanning the brain's neuron connections. So even if we could rebuild/emulated Frozen Jim's Brain, there may be permanent loss of essential information that was distributed around his lymph system or population of gut bacteria such that 'the same person' cannot be reconstructed.
Just because you can use a shit tool doesn't mean you should give up on a better tool
The problem with automatic daemonization is that there is no way to indicate startup failure: you just fire and forget the process in the background. If the process dies, there's no clear way of knowing whether it was due to an error in startup conditions (possibly as simple as a configuration error) or a runtime failure at a later time. In the first case, restarting makes no sense. In the latter case it might be a reasonable option.

With manual daemonization, the process can delay forking until it has ensured that its configuration is sound and it has the resources it needs. This way the parent process can indicate with its exit status whether the service was successfully launched.

TL;DR: The patent covered any salt solution “between 1 per cent and 25 per cent of the total volume of treatment”. The court ruled that 0.77 falls within that range, because '1' can mean anything between 0.5 and 1.5, because 'figures, no less than words, may take their meaning from the context in which they are used'.

Remarkable.
Having switched to OS X about a year ago after years of Linux usage, I can say that personally I really like the case insensitivity OS X has by default. It doesn't whine every time I accidentally (don't) press caps lock. Case sensitive file systems must be the dumbest invention ever. Who is seriously going to distinguish his/her files by capital and non-capital letters? "Test.txt" and "test.txt" should be the same!

> are hits from this group of sites not legitimate hits? I mean if it's not bot traffic

It is bot traffic. These aren't real visits. These sites don't actually link to anyone, they just run crawlers visiting other sites with their domain as the referrer in order to get traffic from webmasters. They sell SEO and SEO monitoring services mainly, so people looking at their web stats are their market.
Yes, it is so.

Spain's total government spending increased by 60% from 2002, to 2008. That is a fact [1].

Spain's household debt to income ratio, increased from 70% to 125% from 2000 to 2007, another fact. [2]

Both are clear indications of fiscal irresponsibility. How could increasing total government spending by 60% in six years, be anything but? How could households taking on so much leverage so quickly, be anything but?

You reference the Netherlands, which has the most indebted households in the Euro zone, and is in the midst of a debt disaster. That's a really bad example [3]. Their GDP hasn't increased in nearly eight years.

Keep in mind that several copies of a satellite will be built during production. Some are mockups of a few subsystems (e.g. structure), some are used for tests (e.g. thermal, electrical, interference), often there's also a "flight spare" which is an exact copy of the satellite in case something goes wrong with the flight hardware (e.g. broken during testing, launch failure).

E.g. Curiosity has such a spare (I'm not sure if it's the same as the flight hardware or close enough) which will be sent in a future mission (I think 2017, though I don't have any sources at hand) with (some) different experiments on board.
Who would want to invest in a risky country with huge structural deficits that just set a precedent of defaulting on debts? The ECB/IMF did it because Greece was part of the Eurozone so they were obligated to in order to preserve the strength of the coalition. I believe most investors would be extremely wary of placing any money into Greece post-default. And huge investments are exactly what the country needs to enact structural reform.

Also, The problem with creating a new currency is that no one will have any reason to trust that the government will be able to back it with real economic value. If Greece were to come out with a new brand of money, say the "Greco", I would be extremely suspicious of holding any for fear of hyperinflation/a new currency coming out in 3 years to replace the debts taken on in Greco.
Hedging Against Getting Paid in Stock
Dude living in Switzerland here.

Could you elaborate more on the structural similarity to Greece?

Yes, Switzerland has tourism but - unlike Greece - I doubt that they depend on it. Also, watches and cheese are only the tip of the iceberg. Switzerland's wealth probably derives from mega-banks like UBS and the not well-known, but enormous industrial sector (e.g., Nestlé, Novartis, Roche, ABB).

Before I moved here, I thought Switzerland is only about cheese and chocolate, but it really is an oasis of wealth unparalleled in Europe due to various reasons; here is my medium blog post about how it is living and working here: https://medium.com/@iwaninzurich/eight-reasons-why-i-moved-t....

Also you can look at:
- https://neocities.org/ is ad free and free

Then if you're willing to compromise a bit, these are easy and free:

- Wordpress if you want to post an article. It'll put spam on your page though.

- Google sites is a good wiki style solution for posting a few things up with a wysiwyg editor.

- If you don't want it to be an html page, there is also google docs and google drive so you can share an artifact.
On the other hand lead generation is cheaper...

I think it's hard to answer you questions without more information about the type of product. My impression is that plays a large role in viability. ISTM infrastructure type pieces have a bigger chance to open source successfully.

It actually works quite well. It's not without its quirks, but unique_ptr is really great. If you think there are holes in unique_ptr, then write an article with some good examples, I'll be the first to read it.

Rust hasn't seen enough widespread use to find all the problems and limitations with the language. The borrow checker seems great, sure. But looking at how Rust handles moves vs copies, I'm not convinced at all that it will be good enough in the long run.

This "mess" is caused by imbuing Example with correct move and copy semantics. In rust, it seems like most types have one or the other, but not both. If a type does not implement Copy, then when you try to copy it, it automatically gets moved from. So u = v would change the value of v. Ironically, that's similar to the behavior of auto_ptr that you just criticized, and quite unintuitive.
The author is a VC, and one with a fairly good reputation in the field.

The point of a market is to accommodate different preferences in a way that maximizes benefit to everyone. Some people are driven by money; others are driven by mission. His goal with this piece was to advise founders he works with how to attract more of the latter and less of the fewer; as an (unstated) side effect, this will also maximize the financial returns of him and the founders he works with. It's fine to be driven by money and to make decisions that maximize your personal wealth, but if you're going to do that, why judge people who are also trying to maximize their wealth?
That isn't really related to language as much as it is to the API. JS is crap at handling asynchronous programming compared to Python (until it gets async/await/generators which Python already has) but most of Pythons standard library has blocking APIs.
I think you are using a very narrow definition of the word enterprise.
So you are only cheaper on expensive stuff.

> There seems to be a popular conception of home schooling parents as crazy religious zealots or something, which I think has little basis in reality.

Knowing nothing about you other than that you read and comment on this site I would assume that 1) you are above societal average intellectually and financially and 2) you associate with people who are similarly successful.

Given that you mostly know people roughly as successful as you, it shouldn't be a surprise that people you know who are home schooled are doing about as well as you are.

To directly address your point, I think of the home schooling population as fairly bimodal; there are many parents who choose homeschooling for religious reasons, and there are some (especially with gifted children) who homeschool because the standard curricula move to slow. Which is to say, crazy religious zealots are a large fraction of the homeschoolers, but not representative of the homeschooled people you and I meet.

Incidentally, I was briefly homeschooled with no impact on my academic career.
This is wishful thinking. It won't happen anytime soon, if ever. For example, German politicians are scared of their voters who are completely unwilling to go along with this, which is exactly the reason why they have rejected such proposals for five years now.

It’s already happening. ECB issued a QE program in January for buying out national bonds for one trillion Euros.

Indeed the problem is not the debt, but for now it is also not structural reforms. Structural reforms are required in the long term, but they won't fix anything now and in any case, you can't change a country in a few years. This will take a long time.

The main issue is simply that the economy has tanked, unemployment is high, etc. and this won't change by imposing more austerity. The last five years have proven this beyond a shred of doubt.

Sure, the economy has tanked but the main reason that happened is that pretty much all the economy was state funded. Once the state run out of money businesses started collapsing. That’s why we had a 30% drop in GDP while other EU countries that issued similar austerity programs faced far less GDP drop.

If you take a look at the top 10 biggest companies in Greece for example, most are either state owned or subsidiaries of multinational corporations. There isn’t a single privately owned company in Greece that makes more than a billion in sales annually.

I’m not a great fan of the austerity measures but I won’t argue that it’s the root of all our problems. The root of our problems is the model of our economy and there’s better chances we solve it inside EU than on our own.
Average cost for successful launch:

* United Launch Alliance: $110 million

* SpaceX: $63.5 million ($60 million * 18 total / 17 successful)

So SpaceX saves you $46.5 million per successful launch. If we assume that 1/18 SpaceX launches fail, then in the long run SpaceX wins as long as your typical payload cost is less than $46.5 * 18 = $837 million.

If we assume that the cost to replace the payload for a failed launch is less than the original payload (R&D costs are amortized, so it's likely that building a second payload is much cheaper than designing and building the first payload), then the break-even payload cost can be even higher.
