No, it was not motivated by race. Around 9% of Singaporean citizen are Singaporean Indian and 58% of those are Tamil (I attended two weddings in the last 3 years where one of the couple was Tamil) - the same as the non-Singaporeans involved in the riot. There have already been two Singaporean Indian presidents (Devan Nair and S. R. Nathan, the latter the longest-serving in Singaporean history).

It's hard to find a parallel with any Western country, because no Western country has as free an immigration policy for low income workers as Singapore does (the US has a large illegal immigrant population to meet demand, but the dynamics of that are very different) - around 12% of residents are on Work Permits (i.e. construction workers or domestic help) [1].

The Straits Time did not publish the event as a race-motivated riot because it wasn't - it was more about a bunch of drunk angry people burning a few cars - and that it wasn't was immediately obvious to the readers of the Straits Time (which include many non-Singaporeans; not to mention the ST has had its own feuds with the Singaporean government).

tl;dr ECB has leaked to BBC they will cut off emergency lending that covers the panic withdrawals. This will kill the deal and force a grexit, even before 5 July referendum. However French PM does not think they have enough independence to do that.

So we have a democratic nation potentially forced to leave Euro, after democratically deciding it no longer wants the austerity imposed, being forced to leave by non democratic ECB while the democracies that appoint the ECB think it is going too far.

What's that quote from Hunt For Red October - "with all these planes in the sky, it's only a matter of time [before we start a war]"

The lesson for democracy - force governments who are going to adjust fiscal measures past a certain point to get referendum approval

- and look how well that works in California...
It's about time. Greece has been behaving like a gambling addict, asking for money to repay the old debts only to waste them in expensive restaurants, buying iPhones, and gambling even more.
As I understand it, one of the major underlying issues this whole time (aside from the silliness of trying to integrate Greece's economy with Germany's) was the ECB's refusal to act as the lender of last resort. This seems like an affirmation of that.

If Greece exits the Euro, I wonder if that will embolden other countries to do the same.

> No. They will require PO box providers to be accredited with ICANN and subject to all these crazy rules, giving you no privacy.

What makes you think that? ICANN's requirement is that you provide a valid address you are contactable at. A PO box fulfils that requirement.
Little India is only "impoverished" relative to Sentosa Cove. The MRT station has an exit facing the back of the Istana (the Presidential Palace), there are plenty of condos popular with Western expats (City Square especially), high end malls, hipster cocktail and coffee bars and expensive design shops in shophouses.

It is one stop away from Dhoby Ghaut, the MRT station with the most connections to anywhere in the island, and three from Orchard, the one with arguably the highest commercial rents.
These are the chess grandmasters of our time.

glibc is a project with a 30 year history of legacy code, and they made it portable between different UNIX kernels (it predates Linux).

It has maintained strict ABI compatibility since glibc 2.0, released in 1996; a lot of functions have multiple different implementations with versioned symbols, just so existing binaries built against older versions continue to run.

Naturally all of this compatibility gunk does not lend itself to simple and maintainable code; perhaps call all of that accidental complexity "the tax of the UNIX philosophy".
Just register the domain with a bogus name that sounds real. I don't think the domain provider will care as long as the bill gets paid.

I do not however like that companies can be totally anonymous on the Internet. It's not like the average person checks out the people behind a company before they buy some commodity from them. I do however whois a domain if I'm suspicious and a common thing is that most use anonymous registrars. Even serious companies use anonymous registrars now a days, witch is weird, or maybe I'm the only one who thinks it's important to know who the people behind a company are before you do business with them.
Gambling addict? What an incredibly unfair and childish characterisation.

Greece is not a person, Greece is a nation state. It has implemented severe fiscal cutbacks after being forced to by its creditors. Cutbacks which have ruined the country's economy, massively increased poverty, and made it more difficult to pay back its debts.

Now its people have voted in a government that wishes to make different reforms. Ones that also keep the book balanced, but do not hurt the weakest in society as much or destroy economic productivity.
All that's changing now is that ICANN are actively enforcing a part of the registrant contact they previously had been laissez-faire regarding.

All that will be changing on the data collection, verification, and escrow front, you mean? That isn't an aspect that people seem focused on at the moment. Almost everyone is focused on REVEALS and what processes will become mandatory.

Have anything to say about that and/or RELAYS?
Missed the survey but going to express my feelings here hoping that they will still be read. I like the opinionated, batteries included approach of Django a lot. My major gripe with it is that it only takes you so far. There's a ton of ever expanding documentation out there how to make your first app. Whether it's the official tutorial, another one or a workshop. But when looking to build something less trivial—not just bigger, but more complicated—I don't know where to look for in-depth guidance. Compared to Rails there really aren't too many books out there. I should give an honorable mention of Two Scoops of Django, but the style of many loose bits of good advice still doesn't help me with the bigger picture. Getting Started with Django made me hopeful, but somehow it never got past the first few episodes which again cover just the basics. Where to go after that? Just asking questions doesn't cut it. If the question is too broad, you're referred to the documentation, or the answer is too broad as well. And asking a specific, answerable question is hard when you're not comfortable with the technology yet. Either way, it takes too long to ask all the questions that arise and wait for the variety of answers that might follow, compared to reading a book with well-worked examples or so that form a coherent whole. I'm starting to feel that the only way to get fluent in Django would be to get a job in an experienced Django shop, which IMO should not be the case. On IRC in particular I sense an off-putting attitude that "we experienced Django developers know how to do it right" without really making that knowledge accessible to others. The documentation isn't by far as opinionated as the framework itself. As a result, I end up trying things that in the end can't be made to work well.

TLDR; I would like Django to be more accessible not just to beginners but especially to advanced starters.
Not really. Most people I know have long hours and work their arses of. Taxi driver usually works 12 hours / 6 days a week for 20 euro a day net profit. Security guy takes about 500 euro a month for similar hours.

Indeed, very much a Rule 4 violation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cooper#Firearms_safety).

The 2nd one of bird shot landing in his back yard isn't such a big deal, it wouldn't be at a high velocity by that time, but there's absolutely no excuse for it, skeet shooting is not an impromptu activity vs. a foolish opportunist shot at a drone. And the first incident, which sounds a lot more serious, ought to have resulted in a discussion, if not further action.
I think working on open source, both unpaid and paid, projects definitely has been worth it for me professionally. Independent of self gratification and such (rather important IMO), it has lead to offers for interesting jobs and by that increased what kind of remuneration I could get. Above what I think the additional years of experience themselves would incur.

I think it's harder to answer that on the angle of open sourcing projects. I've, together with colleagues, spent the last few years doing paid for feature development for an open source projects. It's possible to have a company around that and support, and grow. But it's not easy.

My impression, more from the side lines, being a technical person occasionally involved in sales, is that it help in lead generation, but that the conversion ratio tends to be lower than with leads for a closed product.
I think this is a naive view of the situation. The authority still belongs to the US Department of Commerce -ICANN just has a contract, which incidentally expires this year- and multiple governmental organizations have publicly argued that fake WHOIS records impede their regular activities.

The apparent externalization is great for shifting blame, though.

So? Much poorer countries had to support greece. How come a poor slovakia should fund the lifestyle of lazy greeks? No thanks
I agree with you. Because using completely invented information makes me a liar. And why do they need it? Its not like they are sending packets to that address. We should stop every invasion of freedom no matter how well it is sold.

ICANN is only the authority because we all said they are the authority. Do you know the fight that would break out if we lost faith in ICANN and multiple firms in the right economic place who know the right people at the right time provided an alternative authority? The switch to ipv6 is already weakening ICANN authority. The value of an ip address is decreasing.

We have to trust someone. End users are not gonna type in ip addresses human brains just aren't wired like that. But talking with any government is not cool. ICANN is a trust all citizens of earth currently agree on. ICANN is the global diplomat they need diplomatic immunity - and need not abuse it.
I think the ECB is actually not allowed to do that, because Europe (better: The countries of the Euro Zone) is not a debt union. If the Countries were paying for each other regardless of structural reforms, Europe would need to be constructed in a different way (with an actual central government).

To address your other point: I think the horrible situation that will arise in Greece in the following weeks/months will make other countries certainly think twice about getting out of the Euro.
This isn't about any of that. Any classes you would apply this technique to already have the desired semantics. The rule of zero just argues that you should not write copy/move/destructor functions outside of dedicated resource mananging classes, so that you can write other classes with zero special member functions (other than the main constructors).

What's the alternative for the ECB? Give €129 bn to Greek banks to replace the deposits that are bound to flee this week only to see it lost when they default after saying no in the referendum? The Greek banks would have been bust long ago if it wasn't for the ECB's emergency lending; they've been provided with €60 bn in liquidity over the last 6 months to replace the deposit flight. Not sure how you can characterise that as Greece being forced to leave by a decision from the ECB. Looks more to me like they have to leave because there are no other options left.
The BBC should know better than this, using "unnamed sources" to quote a rumour as fact.

No decision has been made yet, so this is just misinformation. Expect more of this over the next days.
The ECB has effectively acted as a lender of last resort to Greece for a looong time (just look at ELA [1] for example), although for political reasons this fact has been sugar-coated so as not to scare the electorate in states that pay for Greece (and are now beginning to see what has been clear to anyone who looked at the figures, namely that the money is gone!). Greece was effectively bankrupt years ago. The main underlying issue is that Greece has been unable or unwilling (depending on whom you ask) to ensure that tax revenues roughly match government expenditures.

In my country, every business is required by law to provide detailed contact information and registration numbers on their website. It baffles me whenever I see one of those US startup websites with no contact info, not even an address or a PO box, and still they expect their customers to provide detailed billing info and share private data.

How can I trust a business when it hides behind an anonymous registrar? If something goes wrong with my order, I'd have no way to even determine who is behind the company.

Of course, the free speach argument is mostly irelevant. There are plenty of ways to share anonymously either on other people's domains, on TOR, or using just IP addresses. If my privacy was important, I wouldn't rely on Godaddy to protect it.

He may not be correct in what he is saying, but the underlying message is that Greece and the Greeks were enjoying the benefits of the EU on the never never, their attitude to taxation was part of the problem and now Greece expects to be taken care of by the rest of the EU taxpayers who actually pay their taxes. They don't want to affect their pensioners but it is many of those pensioners who benefitted the most from the money years of the EU.

So I guess the question is who should be paying for Greece's poor financial planning because Greece do not appear to think it should be them.
Let's not confuse the issue. ryandrake is clearly talking about self-preservation, not justice.
One can write totally incomprehensible code in any language if clean, readable code is not a priority.

And the opposite is true, too, of course. I have seen some fairly messy Python code and some marvelously clean Perl code. And I am fairly certain that over time, some people have written beautiful PHP code and ugly Lisp code.

In my humble experience, it is not so much a property of the programming language as it is of the programmer(s).

This looks very good on the micro level, but not so much on the macro level ("blobby", in the author's own words).

Since this is [citation needed] I dug around. Seems like yes, the ECB pressured Ireland into accepting a bailout by threatening them to shut down ELA. But in fact they did it in a secret letter from Trichet to the then finance minister. Getting that letter released took some pressure, as well. [0][1]

So, the only similarity seems to be the ECB threatening to pull ELA. There has alreay been debate that the ECB is already overstepping their mandate, but I can't find an English source for that.

think it is going too far.

Often in politics you want someone to feel threatened, but you don't want to look like an asshole by threatening them yourself.

I'm sure France and Germany can put up the money to cover profligate Greek public spending if they want to. But if they've decided Greece needs to be cut off, I'm sure they'd much rather have an anonymous non-german non-french bureaucrat deliver the bad news than do it themselves.
The hack looks insanely contrived but this video has a very well paced, well explained, and well illustrated explanation.
While I am certainly sympathetic to the Greeks for the hardships they have faced and will undoubtedly face in the years to come, it is incredibly unfair to deny the Greeks' own responsibility in all this.

This entire mess started with Greece not having its finances in order, and essentially lying about this for years to the rest of the Eurogroup. After it became clear how dire the situation was, the Eurogroup stepped in and helped Greece by giving them money (LOTS of money). Had the Eurogroup not done this, Greece would have defaulted on its debts years ago, and the country would have gone bankrupt.

Now if someone offers to help you by giving you money, provided you meet certain conditions, you can either accept and comply with the conditions, or you can refuse. The fact is that Greece gladly accepted the billions upon billions of euros, and the conditions that money came with.

I am fully aware that the measures demanded by Greece's creditors are tough. Some would say it is doubtful whether they are actually effective at all. And the demanded measures are certainly driven partly by political motives. All this is true.

But it is mind-boggling to me that after the Eurogroup provided several hundred billion euro's in aid to Greece, anyone would turn around and claim the current crisis is in no way the Greeks' own fault.
But according to one Pando reader, that’s precisely what happened to him here in the US after the Uber X he was riding in was hit by a cyclist.

According to the passenger, the cyclist rammed into the car's open door because the driver was rushing to get the passenger out of the car before a traffic light changed.

Note that in most jurisdictions it's the responsibility of the person getting out of the car to avoid hitting cyclists; being "doored" like this by careless drivers/passengers is a common cause of death of cyclists in cities.

The Uber driver is lucky his passenger didn't kill the cyclist; it might have gotten a lot more expensive than a $250 deductible on his insurance, especially if he admits that he "was rushing to get the passenger out of the car before a traffic light changed."
