I like the way this is worded because it's fair and it captures the idea of good contributors actually adding value and not just "giving 110%," working extra hours or generally "wearing more than the minimum flair." [1]

That said, this is simple and eloquent, but in practice it's not always this straightforward. The question is, can the 3's expect fair and consistent promotions and recognition, and do they feel that you understand what is needed for the project to succeed? Your superstar 3 may be a single "we know you've done great work here but we just can't get you on that project/we don't have the budget for a promotion/there's no one else available to do this maintenance work right now" from becoming a middling 2 or a no-longer-works-here, and those situations may not always be in your control.

From an article that just came out:

http://recode.net/2015/06/21/apple-says-it-will-pay-taylor-s...

> Cue says he talked to Swift today about the change. “I did reach out to Taylor today, and talked to her, and let her know that we heard her concerns, and wanted her to know that we were making changes,” he says. “She was thrilled to hear from us and that we were making the change, and we were grateful for that.”

Why would Apple contact Taylor Swift to let her know they were making changes if they weren't, y'know, making changes?
> All the logic is executed on the back-end. Front-end is called only for user input and location.

Fair enough; that wasn't clear to me from reading the article.

I still think this is a solution to a non-existent problem. Essentially interfaces solved this type of problem 30 years ago. Today you can implement a set of interfaces and, depending on your language of choice, hot swap / add/ delete them as needed and those can all do exactly what your fancy JSON does but without the proprietary, new syntax and language being introduced.
Apple now says it will pay artists during Apple Music free trial
[2] The blog post tell's us that Alex Gaynor confirmed "with some CPython core developers" that his program didn't work because of a bug in CPython.

But the blog post doesn't tell us that Alex Gaynor never said there was any problem with a CPython bug.

Alex Gaynor's blog post tell's us that "It's also not possible to send any messages once your ticket has been marked as closed, meaning to dispute a decision you basically need to pray the maintainer reopens it for some reason."

But that's completely untrue! You can send messages when the ticket is marked closed! And you can open topics in the public forum! And you can click on a username and send email in 2 clicks.

There just wouldn't be any story to blog about, if Alex Gaynor admitted that he could easily have told me -- the bug is in CPython not in my program, so show my program -- but chose to say nothing.

It also destroys confidence within countries that are near the brink of collapse, why would I invest in a country that has an unstable future, is what credit markets would be thinking. As well, the debt of Greece has been restructured in light of their financial issues so that the ECB and IMF hold the majority of Greek bonds, have the other faltering countries had their debt restructured? If not that could be an issue going forward. Would the collapse of one country lead to financial contagion? Germany has gained quite a bit from being a part of the Euro, they would also stand to lose a lot from the dissolution of it.

The landing page doesn't communicate features, in particular, why this design is better than the old one - or even what the design is. This makes the whole thing highly suspect. It's hard to get enthusiastic about something who's utility is, at best, marginally better than what already exists.

I mean, if you want to improve the umbrella, you could make one with a highly reflective inner surface that doubles as a solar oven. Maybe even a solar oven on the top surface that works on sunny days, so you can keep the sun off you and cook food, at the same time. Or, I like umbrellas that have useful information printed on them, like subway maps. Or, how about a hollow handle made of clear material that lets you measure how much it's raining. Or maybe an umbrella on a gimbal, so that if it's windy some of the energy can be absorbed by angular momentum.

Congratulations!

17 years ago my (ex) wife and I bought a small handful of books. Despite my enthusiasm for the books, I don't think I read any of them past the preface, especially after our son was born; buy what appeals to you, and don't overthink things.

Our son graduates high school in another year. He's a viable human being, he likes people, people like him, we love each other. I have no idea how that happened.

No one knows how to raise a child, but we mostly seem to do OK.

Do what your wife's doctor says for health and nutrition. Do what your eventual pediatrician says for health and nutrition. Buy black and red mobiles.

Hold your child a lot. Play with your child a lot. Talk to your child. Read to him. Sing to him. Give him toys and books. Show him everything, but not all at once. Tell your child "I love you" for the rest of your life, and show him.

Enjoy the ride.

Aren't you forgetting that this was about making sure artists were compensated for their work? That's been now met.

That's a good question. Nothing comes to mind, but then things that live up to early promise probably just seem "obvious" in retrospect. Actively tracking the status over time might make it easier to remember those cases.

There are some things, like Amazon delivery drones, that are seeming a lot more plausible than they were initially given credit for.

It might be interesting, beyond basic news tracking for these topics to do some sort of "plausibility survey" along the way was well. See how people's opinions shift. Obviously that's a lot more work to do it right, but it could also be a lot more useful in the long run.
While I don't disagree, your comment is conservative and therefore uninteresting in that it is conceived and reasoned within the bounds of the de-facto international system, with all its well known problems. Problems we have to try to solve anyway. Greece is in a place that could meaningfully try something new, right away.
The problem here isn't with JavaScript in particular, but the complete lack of other options. When you're limited to a single language, what you end up with is a software engineering monoculture.

Exactly. Furthermore, to "believe" is not the same as to "know". If someone were to say "I believe I have the answer to this puzzle", he or she is not necessarily saying "I know with certainty that I have the answer". It is to my understanding that in common tongue, "belief" is merely the state of having a seemingly coherent mental picture of a scenario, similar to "I see it likely or highly probable". "Belief" need not imply a rigorously tested truth. Nevertheless, I do believe in the hypothesis that the words "believe" and "know" mean different things to different people.
nice trick. You can, but you can't reference `Number` directly, that's the point. `Number` is a part of standard library, so being in JS it's possible use hack that you've shown. But you won't find a reference to let's say `console`, because it's not a part of ECMAScript.

The Greeks are complaining that the EU and IMF's terms are unfair, but what's really unfair is that Greece lived beyond its means for years with other people's money and now doesn't want to face reality and tighten its belt under very generous terms. Without the EU and IMF's help, Greece wouldn't even have the luxury of manufacturing these crises every time they blow their previous agreements.
It's more about how you use it than the language itself.

You're right about breakpoints while code is called by native functions. That's something that should be discussed more.

Recognizing that inane insoluble questions such as these surface again, and again, and again...
Yes, but "I believe that all beliefs" is a belief statement. It is not a statement of disbelief. You are not really taking a risk. You need to say something like "I do not believe that any belief ..." Actually, to some extent you did. If we rephrase your statement in a form that takes at least some risk: "I do not believe that there exists a belief that does not stem from imagined experiences." So, from there, all we would need to discover is one such belief. The problem here is the definition for "imagined". When is an experience imagined and when not? Now, you need to take a risk by defining precisely the term "imagined".
Why is that "worth noting"? Is that an unfair rate? If so, what is fair? Your implication is that "about a hundreth of a cent" per stream is not fair.

s/Greece/people running Greece at that time/ If you asked the who didn't profit from joining the Euro, likely you might have gotten a negative reply.

Seriously it's not a fault issue here because multiple parties (including the vampire squids that are multination financial corporations like Goldman) conspired to profit from it.

Question is what is going to be done to right the ship and avoid calamity?

(Edit: Sheesh, what's with all the downvotes? Hardware failures are a route-aroundable thing that should never cause downtime... as long as you don't adopt an outdated "here sits the one source of truth, and its name is [fat server manually configured]" psychology. HA clustering is at the point where it's a generic, drop-in thing for arbitrary services. If you fail to recognize the above, go do some learning.)
Does anyone else think that, all conspiracy theory aside, the information published is only partly true?

If it's a purely hw issue, say a piece of highly specialized hardware (hw crypto, piece of old mainframe, etc), it can take a very long time to source it (although a SPOF is surprising in such a critical infrastructure), but it does not take 100 people to work on it, 24/7. It requires a dozen guys making angry phone calls every 2 hours to some suppliers...

If it really takes 100 people 24/7, mostly likely explanation to me is that it's software related and they have to rewrite a critical sw in record time.
Causes:

-bugfix (which may be entirely unrelated to secrity)

-emergency migration from one hw vendor to another, for sourcing reason which entails rewrite of a part of the system.
Saying removed 40% of something without knowing what is the original number and how it relates to other countries is not really informative. Greek pensions often outperformed German pensions and this is just wrong. The country essentially financed this by taking in more dept. Also please consider that this entire situation did not develop over night. There was the gross negligence of the financial leaders of the country for a very long time that yielded the current situation.
Because as other commenters have said, anyone interested in doing that will do it anyways.

It's very kind of you to be so considerate of the Germans, and it's so altruistic of the Greeks and other countries to take on such selfless burdens on behalf of Germany.

So why is public opinion so polarized in the opposite way in these countries?

While it's probably true that increasing the iteration time on design will get you to a stable tokamak design faster, comparing the time it took to get to ITER is not really a fair comparison.

With large scale mechanical engineering projects, scaling the size down will create a world of new problems that ITER never ran into. They will need to solve these all in house, whereas the tokamak design for ITER had the best researchers all over the world working on it.

I'm actually more surprised that skunk works makes youtube videos now. I can almost feel the engineers cringing when PR came to them with this idea...

Greece borrowed a lot of money and spent more than they could afford for a long time, and now the loans are coming due and Greece can't pay. The countries who loaned them money have a right to be mad about that (they are taking a loss because of it) and demand that Greece take all reasonable measures to repay them. (Edit: And, apparently, the Greek government has likely been committing fraud by cooking its financial books, both to get into the Euro and afterward; see links elsewhere in this thread.)

The organizations that Greece borrowed money from are not "banker overlords". Greece chose to take the loans, and they can choose to default on them if they wish (and accept the consequences, like a person would, including ruining their credit rating). This would likely ruin their import/export business and tank their economy even further (due to the difficulty of trading without loans), and is not something that anyone wants; but if Greece does not demonstrate a way to reign in their spending and repay money that was borrowed, it's what may happen.

Greece can certainly do what it wants. Other countries are not going to stage a military invasion over a loan default. However, as I said, it will ruin their ability to trade. Would you trade with someone who doesn't keep their promises to pay their creditors? How would you feel about sending a ship to Greece with some goods they've promised to purchase from you upon arrival, when you know that the Greek government has decided to default on foreign loans? What if they refuse to pay you too? Moreover, tanking their credit score will tank their ability to borrow money, which will cause their internal banking system to seize, since credit is essential to the economy -- perhaps the company you're planning to sell the goods to wants to pay you, but can't because they can't get a loan either, or can't get their hands on the currency they owe you. Really, it's no good for anyone. Countries need to make good on their promises to trading partners.
Agreed. It is fascinating to me, having been on the other side of the "it would cost too much to re-implement" discussion when I was at Sun and NetApp and talking to some large enterprise type customers, the flip question is "What does it cost for the current implementation to fail?"

Few people have direct experience with that, remember that many of these systems are essentially the "second" generation of automation that has gone on in government. Systems built in the 90's were not even imagining the kinds of drive by side-load sandbox hopping attacks that are routine today. I expect it to get worse before it gets better but the new Digital Service has some interesting ideas there. I fear such things will lead to nationalizing the Internet as well and that bothers me, I still believe (perhaps naively) that it is possible to secure large networks from even persistent threats given the tools at our disposal.
The moral hazards for the banks were already created as soon as Greek's loans from the banks were replaced by their current loans from the ECB and other sovereign institutions. That ship has sailed. The original lenders already have their money back, no matter what Greece does now.
Oh there most certainly is such a thing. Dining at a host home in the Phillippines while on a medical mission, we were introduced to the daughter of the family, as 'Dr'. Oh, what do you practice? Oh I don't practice says the daughter, as if it would be beneath her.

Now, there are precious few slots in that country for medical education. Such that exist are supported by the nation and the people directly and indirectly through taxes. One of those slots was 'wasted' on this human being, who's degree was an ornament on her wall. In a country where medical treatment is a privilege of the wealthy (thus the medical mission).

So pardon me if I regard education as a sacred trust, to be exercised to the best of your ability. Anything less is, at best, an affordable affectation. At worst, a moral failing and a crime against society.
