As a german, just letting billions of € go while our infrastructure and social system could need more money, this just doesn't feel right.

If we would be the united states of europe this would be a different story, but currently it seems that greece just tries to leech as much money as possible while openly offending us. And by the way, there are poorer states than greece that will pay it's share of the bill in the eu. Am I wrong?
1. I'm not sure what you mean by "near-3rd world". Their economy has fallen to about the pre-Euro trend-line (http://www.vox.com/2015/6/28/8858727/greece-gdp-chart). There's still plenty of room for them to fall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)...).

2. If The Economist is too capitalist for you, the current Greek finance minister also thinks (thought?) default would be very bad: http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/2012/05/16/weisbrot-and-krugman-ar....
They weren't that perfectly free. According to Noble prize winning economist Paul Krugman:

It’s a common secret that once there will be a true unification of the member states all national debt will become EU owned (by issuing Eurobonds for example). Regardless of that, as it stands now the debt isn’t our real problem because we pay a very low interest (less than 3%) and the maturity has been extended and there is willingness to be extended even further. Our problems are structural ones like the fact that we pay almost 80% of the state budget in pensions and salaries, which is the highest in of all EU members.

As for leaving the Eurozone, I seriously doubt whether we could default on all our debt. We can’t default on IMF’s debt for example. Or ECB’s. Because once we leave we’ll still need the support of the ECB otherwise our banks will collapse in a matter of weeks. Our economy is still very fragile, exports are less than 20% of GDP. Tourism might flourish because of the devaluation of the local currency but it still won’t be enough.

I think the point here is to teach when the student is ready and homeschooling allows the parents to do that. The issue was that your parents didn't teach you when you were ready. The original poster meant that if a child was not ready to learn to read until age 8 that would be OK, not to force them to delay learning until a specific age.
Actually it does sound really far fetched that the CIA, an external intelligence service, is out flying hexacopters over American orchards. Do these things even have any practical value for spies given how unwieldy and conspicuous they are?

If it had been state surveillance it would have much more likely been the local sheriff looking for grow-ops with their new toy helicopter. In which case shooting it down would be a sure fire way to get the attention of the cops and have them come look at your grow-op. I see no other explanations but malice or mental illness.

That crazies are fair game to American cops is indeed a problem, but in most western countries you can actually identify mental illness and not have the cops show up to shoot the poor bugger. That's what you need to work on, not "stigmatizing language". I suppose I should have given a trigger warning too, just in case.
I've been working on a version of this (almost the same techniques described in this post) for a game I'm working on. The internets has loads of tutorials on how to do this sort of thing - there was a paper published describing these techniques from 2011). Pretty cool stuff.

Bulgaria is today Orthodox Christian and has kept the culture of their "arch-enemy". If the majority of Bulgarians really viewed this as their arch enemy then they probably would have rejected this culture the same way that they have rejected the culture of the Turks (by the way in a extremely cruel way) after they regained their freedom.
Yes, especially around blacks, immigrants, and transgendered (I am one or more of the above).
The answer is that they're not the same options. Your respondents are assuming the strike price is FMV at the time the options are issued, which will be different at different times. There may be good reason for that assumption, if it's somehow prohibited to later issue options based on an earlier FMV, but it should have been called out because it's changing more things than just what you'd intended to ask about.
Yes, I thought I addressed that as well, sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I agree that the lesson here is that it goes both ways as far as timing and learning are concerned.
Ask HN: Is it necessary to operate from the USA to succeed?
I built Zephyr in Glasgow, Scotland. But on many an occasion I have been advised "you need to go to London for realistic investment, but Stateside would be better".

Investment rates in the UK and Europe are lower and even the preferred investment sectors are different, while the USA market and customers within tend to take a punt much earlier on ideas as has been seen with hyper growth for Slack...but ask somebody here about Slack and 9/10 haven't heard of it.

I would love for Scotland to grasp the nettle here, we have considerable talent in our universities and engineers with great ideas, our gaming industry is strong too but if the advice given is to leave the country to succeed, what chance is there to develop things locally?

What are your thoughts, can companies make it happen where they are or should we build to emigrate, with our sights set on Silicon Valley?
It's quite funny to read something like this, coming supposedly from a startup founder, a very market competitive field. The kind of adjectives he uses for employees as soon as they start acting like they are in a market too, it's like people should forget capitalism as soon as they start working for them.

I mean there was a time when that made some kind of sense, in the old corporative world if you got a job in a good company you could expect to be set for life and end up with a nice pension after your work life. But with the current economy, the rising inequality, and the devaluation of most labor compared with capital, it's hard to play along when somebody tells you to pretend you aren't living in a market.

Spain's gov't spending to GDP ratio developed in the same way as the Netherlands:

http://imgur.com/I5AZaN9

Spain had a housing bubble, of course. And the housing bubble was the primary cause of the crisis. But there was a bubble in the responsible northern countries too. And in the USA. So it's not the case that Spain was an outlier in terms of fiscal responsibility.

Don't forget that Spain had a lower debt to GDP ratio than Germany at the start of the crisis:

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/07/finally-spain/

If Spain was irresponsible, then Germany and the Netherlands moreso. Private and commercial borrowing in Spain was a big part of the problem, but because the Eurozone has no trade barriers the government in Spain can't stop it. I'm not saying Spain isn't partially to blame for the mess, but it's not a case of fiscal irresponsibility.

I am Bulgarian. And I don't know a lot of people who work in Russia or dream of emigrating to Russia.
On the other hand I know a HUGE amount of people who reap the benefits of the EU. A huge part of Bulgarian GDP is formed because of EU. We wouldn't have dreamed of the huge infrastructure projects that are now a reality without the EU.

Also, fearing Russia and loving Russia is not exactly the same thing.
The other obvious thing that comes to mind w.r.t. school and bullying is that one fallback option for dealing with bullying is leaving the situation, but in school, if you want to switch classes or even schools to avoid a bully, I think you would basically have to ask some adults for permission, and if they don't grant it, tough luck--you're still forced to spend N hours per weekday there. Non-school activities seem less likely to be so compulsory (though if the activity is "walking in your neighborhood and encountering your bully", complete avoidance would require moving), which would seem to put some upper limit on how bad a case of ongoing bullying can get.

Could you comment on how the above relates to your experience?

I agree with his assessment of the bay area at least. The demand is so high that it's a real problem if you try to take your time to figure out who the hell you're hiring.

I'm not really interested in interviewing candidates for our SF office anymore for this reason, it's simply a waste of time.

I don't think it's a good idea to be a "loyalist", though. Your company will never be loyal back, believe it.

I too am a former Orbital employee. I worked on the sounding rocket program. It was very much a pressure cooker because of the incessant pressure to work more overtime and do more missions in less time.

I always heard that other parts of the company were far more laid back. Wish I had worked in one of those parts.
I wrote that ICANN were laissez-fair about enforcement, not that they didn't enforce these rules. The difference is when they enforce them.

In the past, they encouraged an honour system through the use of WDRP emails. In addition, they only acted or required registrars to act when an issue was reported or noticed. I guess you could call this passive enforcement.

Now, what they're requiring is that contact details are validated and verified upon first use and subsequent changes. This would be active enforcement, and was requested by the LEAs.

The practical difference that when you register a domain name, the registrar will attempt to make sure that your address is valid, that the email address you provide actually accepts email and you answer it, and check that the phone number you provide is valid.

I'm fully aware of the impact of all this. Even if wasn't personally affected by it, given I own domain names, I had to implement this stuff on the technical end, and make sure that in enabling it, we wouldn't end up scheduling thousands of our customers' domains for deletion. From a purely selfish point of view, I'm all too familiar of what the impact of the change from passive to active enforcement means.
Well, it's complicated on why it happened that way. USSR is one undeniable factor.

Well, I believe Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek shows that even hierarchies can be great for more advanced civilizations. But, bare in mind that in that universe, the crew could take the captain down, if he didn't play fair towards the entire crew (a.k.a. organization).
So, I still do believe that hierarchies are important part of the way we can organize to achieve things together, but it's not the only possible way, as Frederick Laloux depicts through his research.
> It’s a common secret that once there will be a true unification of the member states all national debt will become EU owned

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.

> the debt isn’t our real problem because we pay a very low interest (less than 3%) [...] our problems are structural ones

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.

> I seriously doubt whether we could default on all our debt. We can’t default on IMF’s debt for example. Or ECB’s.

Yes you can. There is no reason why your banks would collapse, if you have a new currency.

I'd vote for removing dead/useless code, reducing scope/visibility, making things immutable, and running an auto-formatter. In the case your code is being re-used by outsiders, in an API or something, yeah bad naming ends up being awful.

+1 . I'm not sure whose idea it was, but the idea behind the Send/Sync traits is brilliant. It's easy to say "we can mark a type as thread safe and non threadsafe". It takes some thought to come up with a design which works in a world of data sharing. Someone realized that thread safety was actually two, intertwined and interdependent concepts -- thread safe and share-safe[^1], and together they allowed for a good degree of safety without being too restrictive (unlike just having "non threadsafe" types).

Keep in mind that you'd need a long term change in your gut flora - a short term disruption by a single course of antibiotics is usually returned to equilibrium in a short amount of time, and would be easily masked by the psychological effects of actually being sick.

Yeah, I worked there for 6 years, mostly at Goddard on the HST project. It was very relaxed - to the point of boredom at times (that's why I left, despite the insanely cool work). The guys in Virginia (where I worked about a year or so, but still on NASA stuff) told a different story about the Orbcomm and other commercial rocket businesses. I have no idea what it's like today though.

Reddit is selling ad space to a doxxing website
I'm only posting about it because I've seen this advertisement many times:

http://i.imgur.com/6HguIyh.png

Anyone else seen these ads?

Blurred the site name out because I don't want to give them publicity. You probably know the one, anyway.

It's one of those sites where you put in a name and it pulls up matches based on public records and social media accounts. I searched my name on it. Luckily, it didn't find me... but it found about 100 other people with a similar name to me and their criminal records, court records, divorce records and every possible embarrassing detail of their life... accessible at the click of a button. The reports cost money... up to $19.99 each. But when you say something controversial online and someone digs up your name... who's to say $20 is going to stop them?

Additionally, they have this special going on where if you search someone and claim that it's you, they'll offer you a "trial" report for $1. What's to say I can't pose as someone I hate--whose name is public--and dig up every embarrassing detail about their life? For less than the price of a bottle of soda, even?

But the real white elephant to me is: reddit explicitly does not allow this behavior. If you even make a sound like you're going to doxx somebody, that's a shadowban. Rightfully so.

Yet, bizarrely, they're selling ad space to this company that, for a small fee, allows you to doxx people. It's contradictory... and very disturbing.
Basically it comes down to her not feeling comfortable being around a majority of whites and asians and she feels that she has to change her whole personality just s others like her more.

She also prefers to be around blacks, preferably black women.

This has little to do with Google though.

Google is rather corporate and thus it's only for people willing to adapt a corporate personality during the day - often in combination with a rather conservative physical appearance.

Cornrows and overly casual probably wouldn't fly too well in the head office, no matter if you're black, white or asian.

She should just get another job.

> When you pass data to another thread, there are three options: 1) pass a copy, 2) hand off ownership to the other thread, and 3) transfer ownership to a mutex object, then borrow it from the mutex object as needed. All of these are memory and race condition safe due to compile time checking.

There's more than those three: data can be shared via reference or reference counted pointers[Arc], which allows immutable access (more generally, concurrent access to any types for which this is safe, e.g. atomics and mutexes). A mutex is only necessary for mutating (nearly) arbitrary shared data. This is particularly powerful for literally zero-overhead read-only shared memory while still maintaining Rust's safety guarantees.
