Hi, IMHO a really great question.

My comments:

a) By force isn't going to happen. The EU integration was about preventing wars by greater integration, especially economics.

b) That is probably where the EU is heading in many, many years to come... but not now.

c) I doubt any of the lenders want to throw anymore good money after bad.

So yeah... what the heck to do?

I really hate to say it but that leaves only two things Greece can do:

1) Greece has to leave the Eurodollar but is still a member of the EU, or

2) Greece leaves the EU completely (including the Eurodollar), and

...only one thing the creditors can do:

1) Extend better repayment terms.

So why would I suggest the above? Well for one thing the reason the UK is doing well economically is because the Bank of England has greater control over fiscal and monetary policy AKA the UK still has the pound (GBP).

My take on things is that Greece won't get out of this mess until they get a handle on fiscal and monetary policy and the main way to do that is by controlling your own national currency.

Also to my knowledge no Government has ever been allowed to go 'Bankrupt'. Essentially fiat currency is backed on the tax intake of a nation... but in the case of the EU... on the tax intake of the entire EU block.

There is some German poster who got down voted on what seems like the basis of a negative stance on Greece's predicament, however by linking all the currencies together the German politicians were tacitly agreeing to back Greece. Therefore IMHO it's not wholly Greece's fault that this mess got this far... the ECB and EU member nations should have tightened things up but then again France, Spain and Portugal are basket cases as well. And don't get me started on the fact that the EU's books aren't even audited... never the less, the point I was making is that it seems like the mood in the EU is to stop supporting Greece financially which means that Greece needs it's own currency again.

And I don't just say this matter the factly... what I'm suggesting will have huge ramifications and destroy lives, families, businesses--it's be total economic chaos until the market can sort itself out again (because by linking the different currencies together the market has been allowed to distort).
I did the same, but with ublock origin in advanced mode and umatrix, which gives me even more control on what request goes where.

This is probably overkill for the average person, but after so many years of using noscript+requestpolicy I am used to sites being broken by default and having to fix them if needed, to me this is an acceptable tradeoff for the increased security.

The only exception to this rule for me is when I order something on a website, in that case I find it too risky to run with tight blocking (due to redirections to the payment site and so on) and just run a completely default firefox in its own vm that I snapshot before and revert to after.
The lack of feedback for SAV is a very good point.
> I'll leave it to them if they want to do the high school experience

This is incredibly valuable, I think. The option to leave a toxic environment.

My best years in public education were the year I broke my knees and was deemed unfit to attend class for the second half of the year - necessitating a three day a week visit from my science teacher to give me an hour of tutelage. Not being around my insanely hostile 8th grade peers got me a semester of straight As and I got the highest score in the class on the algebra one final without even being there.

The other best year was 12th grade, when I took 4 AP courses and study halls. I'd be with good instructors, small class sizes, and peers who were as motivated to succeed as I was. Even honors programs are the domains of parents shoving their kids into the classes through brute force of aggravation with the principal - they just don't want to hear that their kids do not want that, they need their kids to be in honors classes. And they end up ruining those classes for any teacher that gives a damn and for the kids who are there of their own will.

The only important thing to take away is that even an 18 year old is making incredibly short sighted mistakes. If I ever have kids, they would need to consistently want to either reenter school or leave it to make such a switch of their own volition. It has to be a decision not only made over the long term but its ramifications need to be absorbed over such a term.

I would almost certainly never throw them through the public school imagination crusher, unless I had incredible faith in the school. I'd rather go bankrupt hiring private tutors and getting them peer exposure at recreation centers and extracurriculars.
no. you have to learn it, or use any other language that you know.
Legitimate? Yes. "OK" is a function of how pervasive the spying is, but far from expecting other countries not to try at all, I'd honestly expect other countries to try mightily to get information on what the President of the United States is thinking on topics of importance to that country.
Linux on the desktop isn't terrible until you hit an edge case to be honest. Typically for me, it's printers and power management.

I have a wireless scanner and printer combo (HP 2450). To set this up on windows, I turned it on, pressed the WiFi button and the WPS button on my router and File -> Print and/or open up Fax and Scan and that's it. Just works. No setup for scanning or printing. On linux, 30 minutes arguing with hplip and the output looks like ass whatever switch you flip and SANE doesn't even see it.

Then there's PM. On my 9-cell Lenovo X201, 8.5 hours on windows 8.1. I managed to nab max 5 hours out of every Linux distro I tried (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS) with powertop tuning. The cruel irony is that CentOS gets better battery life in a VM in Windows than it does on the bare metal.

YMMV as they say but I really can't be arsed with anything that gets in the way of doing stuff these days. Tuning a Linux distro was fun about 10 years ago for me. Not any more.
Looks like I was wrong- people who can't leave the chair in their own will be lifted out on planes. I should have realized that they don't sleep in their chairs so they must be able to leave them :/
This is a pretty slow operation though - it would be a real challenge to do this without ruining the throughput numbers proposed. In my experience they don't leave the chairs for cars or buses (buses have space for chairs or offer paratransit, they use adapted vans and wheel the chair in instead of a normal size car).
Wall / Digital Screen for PR?
Hey,
I was thinking of creating a wall for all the Media mentioned we got. I am confused between either to stick physical print outs or make a screen that shows all of them?

I was more inclined towards the prints due to the cool factor and easy to read. Any suggestions ?
Well, they're trying to pay you in stocks to make you feel like you need to work harder. (I don't get what you are retorting to?) If you work for a public company, you can short circuit this by removing the risk (via options or shorting) and effectively taking the money immediately. I suppose they might have something in the contract to stop this from happening, but I don't know what the standard practice is.
If the people who care about the environment don't have children, then future generations will just be comprised more of people who don't care about the environment.
The other issue is severely mentally deficient students. Maybe I am just from an inbred, hillbilly part of the the country, but I had a number of students in my classes going through school that probably couldn't crack 75 on an IQ test. And I'm not counting the students that were in the severe and profound program, for the retarded and Downs Syndrome.

It's a huge disservice to lump these students in with the others. The students that can actually do the work get held back (and I'm not talking about the high-level students, (who are usually brutally retarded in their development, unless they take matters into their own hands), this impacts the mediocre students as well).
Ubuntu pre-Unity was pretty good.

Yeah we have two CentOS 4 boxes. They aren't connected to the internet just an old fashioned DUP to receive and send text from a client's mainframe and wrap it in a SOAP request and post to an internal host on an internal LAN. One of them had an uptime of 6 years until our UPS blew up.
Last year I bought a asus n-550jv with win 8.1 and after a few months started having problems with wifi, the keyboard, bluetooth and a general slowdown. Now eveything I tried only yielded minor results... So at one point I decided to try linux for the first time, I installed Ubuntu 14 and voila! Half my problems were gone, and over the next few months I was able to fix most of the other problems as well. On the other hand, I still havent been able to do anything meaningfull with windows.
(Author of the blog post here.)

As a matter of fact, I did, many years ago. Ultimately, I didn't go for it, but it was more a matter of circumstance than conviction. I think I would have been happy there.

The US is hardly the violent crime dystopia that some Europeans make it out to be (the overall crime stats don't really stand out compared to the rest of OECD), so this was never a compelling argument; healthcare, more so - although thankfully, the US is now getting a bit smarter about that, too.
How Thync Uses Ultrasonic Waves to Calm You
Picasso didn't produce trash because he couldn't paint. He could paint and draw incredibly well. But he got very bored by painting incredibly well before he hit 20.

Everything after that was one attempt after another to invent new visual languages for painting.

The cultural value of those attempts is completely different to the resale auction value of a Picasso, which is driven entirely by market speculation and the fact that highly rated artworks are treated as a convenient store of value - rather like gold, but more compact and lighter.

Cultural value is probably best measured by influence. On that basis Picasso scores very high, as one of the creators of abstracted figurative art. That trope remains mysterious to people who believe painting should be about photo-accurate or easy-to-read figurative work, but it's been a huge driver of fine art and all kinds of commercial illustration.
It's not always the right approach, but it's a good reminder to consider "do nothing" as the proper response to a weird edge case that is presented as a [potential] problem.
Only as gray as the definition of "material nonpublic information", which has a much stricter legal definition than the plain-language meaning would imply. Always consult qualified counsel, of course. But in general the best advice is not to accept equity as compensation for services. Anyone who cannot compensate you in cash is by definition desperate.

That was the joke. I thought the fnord elucidated it...
I have an axe to grind about the way it was introduced. Fedora and Red Hat massively mis-managed it. Previously, they introduced various things in tech preview releases, and it either stayed or went with subsequent releases.

systemd was thrust upon us by an axe-grinding developer.
It seems that there should be some kind of automatic sanity check for whitelisted domains. That is, the domain should be registered and should resolve to something. It would also probably make sense to throw up a warning to the NoScript developers if the domain registration ever changes from what was previously approved.
Same experience I had. Went from a medium sized middle school of ~3k to a high school of ~15k students and had the worst time. Transferred to a rural high school of ~1500 and had a much better experience the rest of my high school years.

The other contributing factor though is culture. My middle school was serving a metropolitan suburbia. Demographics were mostly white, a good amount of Hispanics, and few Asian / African kids. Parents were often overbearing and abusive through their helicoptering, Stark contrast with my high school - much more mixed culture, knock 30k off the mean income, tons more violently abused kids who take it out on their peers.

And then I moved to a literal bleach show, where in 1500 kids there were probably ~50 - 100 non-white students, and it was in a college town where the median income was around 100k. The kids were super passive aggressive to an outsider like me, but there was absolutely no violent bullying, and the insularism of the community meant I could just ignore everyone and they ignored me.

Fundamentally though, its systemically broken to stuff kids in grades like this, with the same peers, with no escape for over a decade. Bullying is barely a thing outside of school because its only in school that you cannot escape it. In the real world, you quit jobs with peer abuse, you move away from toxic neighbors, you avoid the bad neighborhoods. It isn't toughening them up because its in no way reflective of reality to have to put up with verbal and physical harassment every day without reasonable recourse.
I don't think it would see this. It would see "59 minutes and 59 seconds" and either see a one-second discrepancy with the local system clock on that poll, or on the next one.
Python doesn't have the whole == vs === debacle.

Python has a string library that makes some kind of goddamn sense (because it matches the C implementation). When I realized that in JS, foo.replace('bar','fizz'); only replaces one instance of 'bar', my head exploded. Then there is the lack of real integers, and all the bullshit ToStringing() that can happen at runtime if you aren't hyper-vigilant.

I don't see how many people have so many problems with windows. I use a clean install on just about anything and it pretty much always just works and does so for months.

Stay away from anything Broadcom, AMD, Radeon and pick a decent SSD (Samsung 840 pro here) it's bomb proof.

The only playing around you have to do is on hardware that is way newer than the windows version and the network interfaces aren't supported.

ifconfig works in the BSDs and can control all kinds of interfaces, rather than being a broken deprecated tool. Obviously that is not entirely comparable as there is ip.

Generally i dont notice much difference - you are comparing to old Unixes like SunOS that had very limited commands. AIX is like that too.
High Output Management by Andy Grove
In Austin, TX we have a number of part time programs like that through the numerous charter school options. You can sign up for specific subjects and then only attend a few days (or even once) a week as the schedule requires.

It's not a perfect system but it's another option that works better for some students and some families.
No data unfortunately, just anecdotal evidence as well. Perhaps it's the income tax rates is respective state, but when somebody has had a previous exit (YHOO, GOOG, FB, YouTube, WhatsApp, etc.), their portfolio (and whatever they diversified into) produces enough income to cover the everyday expenses, which puts diminishing value on the salary dollar.

You're right about the taxes, as I've noticed early stage startups eschewing 83(b) elections and moving towards stock grants in general, which devalues equity significantly.

> On top of that, if you have 401k matching based on salary percentage contributed, you'll net a larger 401k, which is even more money.

Most of the time with average engineering salaries the problems center around exceeding the maximum contribution limit, but I agree that's a consideration. I've never seen early stage (post-A or post-B) offer generous matching, but they certainly can.
I agree with you that the world is nowhere near "doomed" or even heading in that direction. It's not fair to claim racism here, however. The poster did not mention anything about race.
For me it's the honest follow up about patience that says most.
I'm still new to this, but, due to the low margin nature of airlines, flight pricing is pretty dynamic. The reason being that a seat is always available if you're willing to pay enough (they'll gladly rearrange someone's flight if you pay them enough). Though, this is an extreme example that rarely happens, the nature of price fluctuations is true across all flight prices, in an effort to squeeze out as much profit as possible.

Even if hedging the risk directly is banned, you may be able to create a reasonable approximation by hedging shares of a near competitor. Apparently people in finance who get paid partly in options do this kind of thing all the time.

Also, how would you ever get caught if you just ignored what it said in the handbook?
Future of Transportation
some professionals ignore money 99.5% of the time and just do whatever is best for their profession. for example (although I don't know him well enough to say for sure) Paul Vixie strikes me as working mainly for the "health" of the internet. I find it admirable for someone earning a solid professional income to care mostly about the internet, the judicial system, his or her patients or the nation's roads and bridges. It's important however to notice the differences between that sort of professional commitment and commitment or loyalty to a small organization that society can easily do without.

> 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

Something about Haskell makes people enforce this upon themselves. You most certainly can hack things together quickly with Haskell after learning as much as you would in an imperative langauge so long as you can accept it will be ugly and unmaintainable, but that's not much different than other languages.
People that were home-schooled seem to be a little off, to me at least; granted, I was in the public education system from kindergarten on. They often seem to be blithely ignorant of the rules that most people operate by. Honestly, I typically find them insufferable, since they are so much more prone to bike-shedding, as opposed to nodding and then going and getting shit done.

I was working with Erlang for about 2 years in a multi-language environment, and we based our networking messaging infrastructure on top of the Erlang protocol. It's still there, but we're migrating from it.

One major thing that turned me off of the language for our particular project was that there was no way to have a large read-only data structure in RAM and sic a bunch of parallel threads to analyze or search it. It is hackable if you mash your data structure into a large byte binary, since large bins live on a shared heap, but it's a pain to deal with non-native representation for your data.

It's very obvious that Erlang is optimized for a particular usage model, and even when you're dealing with a number of functional parallel processes, it might still clash with what you're doing.

Well they track your IP and have some models based on behavior studies where they figured out how they can extract more money from you. In fact it is a mix of algorithms and techniques, Tickets also vary depending on the day of the week, the hour when you check the price, your location and even the browser you are using or the OS!. I find it totally unethical but I guess that's what "maximizing profit" means for these merchants.
> For example, ext4 is officially supported read-only but in my case it didn't read some folders properly.

For some reason, I've thought ext4 is "pervasive" or "fundamental" until now. I assumed it to be readable by most systems. So it came as a surprise that OpenBSD could not correctly read a ext4 filesystem. But thinking again, last time I checked, Linux could not write to a HFS+ filesystem, either. OpenBSD's FFS might also not be not supported. So a BSD not supporting the Linux filesystem is very natural.

Probably one of the "greatest common divisor" filesystems, which are supported by all major operating systems, should be FAT32. Which is a shame, as it isn't neither an open standard nor a thing from the Unix culture. It also lacks journaling support, which I consider essential. Any alternatives?

I would generalize the finding to: spend the money on something that rewards success and not failure.

Giving money to failing schools rewards failing schools.

Giving money to the poor and unemployed rewards being poor and unemployed.

Giving money to the homeless rewards being homeless.

Use the money to create opportunity, not to reward failure.
Sounds very high minded. I'd research and find a need in your local community. Find some group doing good work already and allow them to expand.

Maybe it's a bigger kitchen for a group feeding the poor. Or a bigger office for college kids that are tutoring kids in math. If you take some time you will find something that has personal meaning for you.
