>The fundamental problem is you can't have a partial union.

I imagine you're talking about the monetary union, because it is of course possible to have partial unions in the EU (many EU countries are not in the Eurozone, and many non-EU countries are in the EEA or in the Schenghen zone, enabling free trade and free movement of their citizens in and out of the other Schenghen countries).

But even in a monetary union, you can absolutely have a common currency without a common fiscal policy. A currency is just a measure of account, a medium of exchange and a store of wealth. We've had centuries of common currency in the form of gold equivalence (i.e. a hard gold standard). The moments we got into trouble with gold currencies are not inherent in the gold standard itself, but in the attempts by sovereigns to jiggle around with it (seigneurage, mixing gold with other metals, creating pretend gold-standards that allow them to create more paper currency than there is gold backing it up, etc.)
I know Argentina had a bad time, and the Greeks will probably too for some time. (albeit much shorter)

But not every country is equally valuable to the great powers.

China needs a strong commercial foothold in the mediterranean sea (ports) to control economic trade with the EU. (which is enormous compared to the trade with Argentina)

Russia could want to fracture the EU and NATO if the standoff with the EU & US continues and wants military cooperation and bases in the mediterranean sea.

Turkey wants to reestablish its influence over the muslim countries in the Balkans and since they are now EU candidate for almost 30 years (meaning: they will never be allowed to join) they will try to find an alternative. Even worse for them, the EU and US appears to be actively working on fracturing the turkish nation via the Kurds. For them it might be a question of life and death to push the West out of the balkans and the middle east.
Be prepared to be much less productive in Haskell; you can't just get into it and start writing code. Everything must be well thought out before you start to write a line (and yes, that's how it's supposed to be but sometimes it's easier to just hack something together to see what issues might arise, and then make it beautiful). On the other hand, the beauty of Haskell is that the code is much cleaner and modular. Don't be fooled, though: Even in Haskell you can write very ugly code.

I took a local with me on my first visit (as I had been advised). There are people on the street hawking exchanges 'cambio cambio cambio' and they will lead you off the street into a store where the shop does the actual exchange (in my case it was a jewelry store). After completing the exchange, the man in the store took a moment to show me the security features of the bills and what I should be looking for to spot counterfeits. I had no problem spending any of the money I exchanged there.
SpaceX still looks better than its direct competition, Orbital ATK:

Antares CRS-3 turbopump failure, vehicle FTS was activated and launch vehicle impacted very close to the launch pad. $200 million vehicle lost, approximately $30 million in damage to launch facility.

Loss of the $424 million Glory satellite due to payload fairing separation failure.

*Loss of the $273 million Orbiting Carbon Observatory satellite due to payload fairing separation failure.

And I don't think the comparison between ULA and SpaceX is necessarily a fair one. ULA is the beneficiary of inheriting solid engineering teams and practices from very mature programs run by large defense corporations. SpaceX is comparatively very young (I feel this makes their overall record even more impressive).

I'd say that "true unification" of the EU through Eurobonds is nigh impossible given the enmity and financial division between creditor and debtor countries in the EU.

I'm a big fan of Friedrich Hayek, who argued against the absurdity of creating the EU from the beginning:

"Though I strongly sympathise with the desire to complete the economic unification of Western Europe by completely free-ing the flow of money between them, I have grave doubts about the desirability of doing so by creating a new European currency managed by any sort of supra-national authority. Quite apart from the extreme unlikelihood that the member countries would agree on the policy to be pursued in practice by a common monetary authority (and the practical inevitability of some countries getting a worse currency than they have now), it seems highly unlikely, even in the most favourable circumstances, that it would be administered better than the present national currencies. Moreover, in many respects a single international currency is not better but worse than a national currency if it is not better run. It would leave a country with a financially more sophisticated public not even the chance of escaping from the consequences of the crude prejudices governing the decisions of the others. The advantage of an international authority should be mainly to protect a member state from the harmful measures of others, not to force it to join in their follies."
Tumblr will probably work very well. HTML and CSS is fully customizable. You don't need to form your "theme" in a blogish fashion. Connecting a domain is free.
My disagreement with the second-to-top-level comment is that they consider "default would be bad" to be unjustified FUD. Krugman is on my side: "force Greece into a presumably disastrous default". He's just faulting the other side (the Troika) for being so aggressive in negotiating that default seems like the least-bad option.

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

That's a measure to adjust the inflation rate, nothing else. Greek bonds are excluded. The ECB has made it very clear that it will buy no weak bonds that give the impression it finances government spending. Furthermore, since they are still normal government bonds and just ownership changes from banks to the ECB, they will eventually have to be payed back by the countries that issued them, as far as I understand.

> I’m not a great fun of the austerity measures but I won’t argue that it’s the root of all our problems.

I agree that it's not the root of your problems. But it is what has prolonged the current crisis and will prevent a solution.

> 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.

If Greece gets a real chance to do that within the EU, yes. That would imply getting out of the crisis first and it would also imply a serious haircut. And on a reasonable timescale, say within the next five years. But it seems clear to me that the Eurogroup does not have the necessary courage to make that happen. I hope the change their mind, but if they do not, getting out looks better to me than just kicking the can down the road.
'Relays' isn't a big deal. In fact, it was already a requirement for registrars to deal with registrants in the first place. After all, registrars were required to send out WDRP notices and potentially schedule a domain for deletion if those emails bounced. Moreover, registrars required valid email addresses so that domain transfers could take place and, also, so that people could be billed.

'Relays' requires that email forwarding works on the provider's side when WHOIS privacy is in place. There are other complicating factors that can cause issues here, such as SPF records for the domain that don't mention the forwarding mailserver, but that's really it.

'Reveal' is a consequence of the situation with third-party WHOIS privacy services being normalised. Up until now, you were effectively in breach of your contract with ICANN as a registrant if you used a third-party WHOIS privacy/proxy service because the registrar had invalid contact details for the registrant.

'Reveal' does not mean that just anybody will be able to ask or demand that the provider disclose the contact details behind a private registration. Most registrars have LEA liaisons who they use to validate that a request from a law-enforcement agency is genuine. If we get a legal demand disclose to disclose details, that goes straight to our solicitors, and we would only reveal them if there's a genuine legal reason for doing so. Any other requests are invalid and, at least here in the EU, giving out the contact details of a proxy registration would be against data protection law. So no, the argument that this would be a conduit for doxxing isn't a valid one. The exact baseline requirements for the reveal process haven't been locked down yet, but they will likely be similar to what I've outlined.

You see, both of these processes are already mandatory based on other parts of the registrar-registrant relationship and existing legal requirements. The difference is that it wasn't explicitly formalised and non-registrar WHOIS privacy was a massive grey area.

What are you exactly suggesting everyone do? He could pay them $0/hr by not giving them the jobs.

You're not offering any constructive feedback while criticizing from your pedestal of inaction. I assume you used a throwaway because you didn't want to attribute that to your personal identity.

Billions of Chinese were lifted from poverty by American globalization, granted at the detriment of American jobs. However it forced American jobs to be more information focused. And if you're Chinese you should understand that. If you're American you can be proud you helped lift a country from the third world into the second.
Speaking from a Chinese perspective, $3/hr in China today is still very low. That's like 3000 RMB for a 9-5 blue collar (which doesn't really happen as many workers work between 12-16 hours a day). But there are just so many expenses you cannot avoid while living in China as a Chinese... $3000 - $5000 is barely enough.
Seconding Tumblr. Very fast and easy to get started with.
That was an expression of doubt, or of skepticism, not an argument. However, the very fact that consciousness resisted for so long to scientific explanation is a strong evidence that it, indeed, escapes material explanations.

It's the fact that all of science deals with quantitative expressions and measurements, whereas consciousness is qualitative. We don't know what it like to be a bat, me as a man I don't know what is it like to be a woman, nor does my wife know what it is like to be a man, or someone else for that matter. Only for the simple reason that qualitative experiences, in themselves, are subjective and bound to the subject experiencing them.

How do we know the electrons don't feel? We don't. Some, like me, presume they don't. Others, in panpsychism, presume they do. At little tiny bit, at least.

That is a very strong statement.
"Some people do all of this on paper before writing a single line of code. Others plan by making types and interfaces, then proceed to implement those. I just like making prototypes."

Of these, I sound the most like you - think just a little, then sit down and start coding to get a feel for things.

Yet I find a good type system essential (or at least conspicuously missing when I write Python). There is a notion that, if one has static type checking, one has to get the types right before writing code. There's no reason that has to be the case. Get a sketch, start writing code, refine your sketch. With type inference, the sketch can even be somewhat incomplete and still help me find where my assumptions clash.
Greece could try to align themselves with Russia and China, but I doubt they could get an appointment. Russia has no money to lend. Russia is already on the verge of financial collapse; they couldn't bail out Cyprus let alone Greece.

China has shown no real interest in countries that don't have significant mineral or natural resources.

Your stats on Bulgaria are also completely backwards. Bulgaria has a very pro-west citizenship.

This is only true when you are becoming familiar with the language (arguably any programming language). Once you're able to get a grasp on how to program in Haskell, it's very possible to hack programs together quickly and refactor with confidence later.

Why? It's no longer necessary.

Also, daemontools suffers from the same problem as other non-systemd service managers; it can't manage processes that daemonize themselves for good reason (like nginx or Unicorn). systemd can handle it because it creates a unique cgroup for every service; if the service needs to be stopped, all processes in the cgroup are terminated.
For some industries the USA is and has for some time been a bit lower cost for manufacturing than China. Labor costs are only part of the equation- you also have to take into account transportation costs, energy costs, costs of obtaining capital, etc. all weighed against political, scheduling, and quality risks. For my own industry (specialty machine vision systems) outsourcing to China is almost not worth the trouble.

Labor is only 5% of the total manufacturing cost. Even if you pay $0/hr in china, the (lack of) cost of transportation + low price of oil/gas due to fracking makes the total cost lower. Though it seems to be true for energy intensive heavy industries ("energy intensive industries such as steel, aluminum, paper and petrochemicals"), not sure it works for low skilled commodity or labor intensive industries.
Note that while C++ zeroes on move, in Rust the compiler statically prevents you from using v after the move. The only way to use v afterwards is to move something new into it (which can only be done if v is mutable). Semantically, a move is a memcpy, except the source is inaccessible after the move.

Yes, the legal status of drones is unclear. And there's not much case law. This should have been a clear case, given that the downed drone was reportedly never over the neighbor's property.

But maybe the trigger-happy family appreciated this fact, and just wanted to make a statement. I certainly don't like the idea of being surveilled. And it's not just cameras. Drones can easily carry compact equipment for LAN hacking[0] or exfiltrating key material.[1] But for those applications, one would need to land the drone in a suitable location.

Cool, reminds me of a R. A. Lafferty short story with a similar premise, titled "And Read the Flesh Between the Lines".
Looks like they're talking about more energy costs & also productivity advances relative to other countries.

This means more that cost of inputs (materials, transport of them, etc.) for hardware will go down in the US, while at the same time companies are getting more efficient per worker - reducing our exposure to foreign cheap labor.

Re: Welding - We're actually seeing a lot of advances in automated welding setup, etc. that will allow robots in the US to compete with Chinese welders.

No, it will complain that A::foo is pure virtual, and that B must implement `foo`. However, if you define in B the method `void foo() { A::foo(); }`, it will work. In destructors this happens implicitly.

> teach when the student is ready

What if the student is never "ready" though? As part of a project for a small Christian liberal arts college, I had access to anonymized data on admissions and class schedules. They accepted a great deal of homeschooled students. Can you guess what how many of them placed in remedial math classes?

Many times more than their traditionally educated counterparts. The school was not big, these catch-up classes were full of kids home schooled by well meaning parents who never thought their kids were "ready" for basic mathematics. This is a colossal failure, when you get to college without knowing basic math, entire departments are simply closed to you.

Interestingly, they often placed in line with their peers in language, with many placing highly in foreign languages as well. Maybe that says something about the priorities of the average parent of a homeschooler?

If nginx and haproxy switch over to SO_REUSEPORT (and the SO_REUSEPORT semantics are fixed in Linux to work like FreeBSD's) it should no longer be an issue: its own worker supervisor need not fork itself, and it can simply manage the children.

Creditors charge a healthy premium risk for the eventuality that they will not be paid back. Sometimes, the risk materializes and they do not get paid back.

It is their right to get mad and stop giving more credit, but it does not follow that it is not in their interest to give more credit, and try to solve the problems without forcing the debtor to bankrupcy.
Having quite a few years of experience treating obesity it's interesting how often this topic comes up here. As several posters say, the "paleo" diet in some form is not a recent idea. Despite paleo's apparent merit, the "standard" high-CHO diet continues to predominate. But why?

I can only speculate. Much has been written about "carbohydrate addiction", an idea that remains controversial, yet there's some evidence for it. We know about the huge amounts of sugars in processed convenience foods, disrupting the body's energy-handling mechanisms, shunting calories into fat deposition.

Industrialization plays a role, it's cheaper to produce and distribute pleasing sugar-rich items vs. fresh farm-grown vegetables. Healthful food is expensive and less available, especially for economically stressed populations. For others, the problem is exacerbated by a demanding, tech-driven lifestyle. Under pressure, taking time to consider what's truly beneficial for health is less likely. Just grab the Starbucks and let's go.

While obesity is in part a behavioral issue, it's a fallacy to assume it's only a subset of the "mental health" domain. I assert obesity is the most complex medical condition we face. All body systems, down to each and every cell has a stake in the intake and distribution of energy, and plays some role in these processes.

Metabolic illness is among the most prevalent and costly to our economy, and also among the most intertwined with psychiatric, medical, cultural, and political phenomena. As pointed out, Banting's fish diet of 1863 worked, but also roundly criticized. The insight keeps reemerging, which seems to mean it's a pointer to solutions, not itself a solution.
