The science behind the movie was very clever. What has disappointed me is that Disney/Pixar keep on pushing the sexism gambit in their movies. This movie wasn't as bad as some of their others, but they are Consistently failing to address gender in a balanced way.
Does anyone male in this movie do/say anything good?
What about Frozen? The stupid (Wessleton) and nasty (Hans) are only male.
Brave? Same thread. The kings/Princes are all obnoxious and/or stupid.
Wreck-it-Ralph : Kowalski strikes Ralph across the face as a show of might and it's meant to be funny (ie. The modern assertive woman who bashes men as "humour")
Several of the tinkerbell movies where ratchet & clank are the typical stupid males (and in most of them, they are almost the only males). To be fair. They do portray the southern belle as a dimwitted hick too, which is the stupid southerner prejudice emanating from the U.S. civil war.
However, they did a great job with Tangled and Princess and the frog - there's a much better gender balance in those movies.
It's a shame. You take your kids to see a supposedly family friendly movie and you cringe at the sexism that is pushed by the writers and directors. Do you just shrug it off, wondering if this prejudice won't rub off on your kids - or do you highlight the sexism to your kids and ask how a large studio could be so consistent in their bias, despite their deep attention to the science. I can't help feel there is more sexism and more conscious sexism than there has ever been. It really makes me sad.
you can't borrow, get 100 EU billions in haircuts few years ago, have monthly salaries in the administration and bureaucracy between 1.5-1.7 monthly, get 60 EU billions 5 years ago and not expect to default with 90 EU billions only in salaries in public sector. And those were only salaries expenses. Incompetent, malignant, and corrupt bureaucracy is Greek's heritage. No one will pay for that. When they borrow money in the eurozone they borrow money from middle class people who put that money into the bank. Then they call elections, and now are in recession, even though months before the elections they were on the upward line. They were already in the state that could service their own budget without borrowing and on top of that pay 3.4% interest to the creditors. The issue was that they didn't wanted to pay that 3.4%. All of this we see today is that 3.4%. And of course an insane idea that communism will rule the EU. Once more. He is an asshole, a person who calls the ordinary people who borrowed money to the Greeks for years terrorists and nazists. Good riddance.
Your first sentence makes some sense, but your second is way off base.

Over a time scale of generations the wealth gap is controlled by larger social/taxation/etc questions. (For one example, in the US more public money is spent educating a rich student than a poor one) However, in the shorter day-to-day or year-to-year time scales it's mostly just a reflection of equity values. The rich have a lot of their money in equities and the poor have none. If at the closing bell the stock markets are up then the wealth gap just increased that day; if they're down it has shrunk.

The "dollar losing value" argument is silly. The opponents of loose monetary policy (and especially gold bugs and bitcoin fanboys) have been predicting sky-high inflation. When it didn't show up on cue their line morphed into this wishy-washy claim that inflation is somehow secretly high. Believe me, when inflation is high its not a secret.

Dutrition
What is the metallic taste? I've experienced this before during fasting periods. Anyway to get rid of it without sugary fruit juice?
Dutrition is a tool that lets you easily create daily meal plans. It has a big database of 8,618 foods, plus you can add you own supplements or foods that don't already exist. Meals can be reused so you don't have to fill them more than once. It also lets you see your daily/weekly/monthly grocery list so you can plan ahead.
I think this specifically is a reason why it is so hard for Dutch startups to hire non-EU citizens. The minimum salary for the Highly Skilled Migrant Worker visa is something like 35k a year. This is waay more than a small company can afford, and it doesn't even include the registration costs for hosting a Highly Skilled Migrant Worker.
Don't you just need a general table of death rates for the 20th century? Such as this for the UK

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--_yGIwe9rks/TpwbBfZB6AI/AAAAAAAAAR...

You can see the pattern you'd expect: a rise in the death rate, compared to the surrounding years, during the world wars. Though there are other peaks, such as the higher peak just before 1920, which is probably influenza, not WWI.

edit: Oh, this doesn't show annual death rate by year of birth, which is what you were looking for

How Wolf Became Dog
And you can't win elections by promising not to pay back your debts and accuse everyone else of trying to destroy the democracy. New government does not mean you can erase your debt. And the fact that you won the elections by telling fairytales does not mean that someone else will pay for the fairytale. That is borderline insanity. Democracy is responsibility of the successive government for the deeds of the previous one. May that be debt or a warcrime.
Possibly more shocking, more than 60% of men who were born in 1923 and still alive in 1941 would die during the War (assuming I've understood the article correctly and my maths is sound).

If you are responsible for the finances of a whole state you have to find agreement with the other 18 elected leaders that try to represent their people as well, preferably before you are unable to pay for your countries loans and it collapses.

The Euro group was already moving in his direction but they have to justify their actions in front of their own people. I am all for some fresh wind but if you go into politics you have to be able to make compromises. You cannot just want something thinking that you are the only intelligent person in the room and step back if you do not get it, especially when the future of your country is at stake.

PSA: Names in software matter. I know we want to believe we live in some language agnostic utopia, but the fact is, programming culture, literature, and science, is dominated by the english language... so when you name your language something like "Coq" (sounds like cock), or Nimrod, (a common american childrens insult), or your OS, Losethos, (which has the word Lose in it, even though it is an actual place...), You face a tremendous barrier to adoption. Case in point, the previous examples, Nimrod changed their language name to Nim, and have seen a recent surge in visibility/popularity, Losethos renamed to TempleOS, and has seen a similar wave of attention... Names matter.
In Homeric Greek, the definite article is more of a demonstrative adjective, isn't it, more "that man" rather than "the man"? And Greek hung on as the language of administration in the eastern part of the empire.

Finding efficiencies and austerity are not the same thing. Germany has free university tuition, Greece has a failing healthcare system that keeps running out of medicine.

Germany has not implemented austerity, yet it feels the need to lecture other countries on the need to do so.

Greece is part of the single market, that means that people can leave. All the smart, qualified people left Greece a long time ago.

Capitalism isn't optimised for fairness; it's optimised for making as many people work for as long and as hard as possible (and this effect is only going to get worse with time).

Financial success is actually an oddity - A flaw in the system. It goes against what it's optimised to do.

Think of capitalism like the carrot dangling in front of the horse to keep the horse moving.

If you've learned to enjoy watching the carrot dangling and wiggling around aimlessly at the end of that stick, then you're getting the most value out of the system.

Good, lengthy read, but I find it pessimistic. Identifies well some problems, but I believe there are better strategies to mitigate the issues.

For example:

1. Optimize for iteration speed.

2. Push relentlessly toward automation.

3. Build the right software abstractions.

4. Develop a focus on high code quality with code reviews.

5. Maintain a respectful work environment.

6. Build shared ownership of code.

7. Invest in automated testing.

Maybe austerity is a really bad idea. It has its place in the general monetary toolbox [1], but history shows that it is really not worth to use only that (Mark Blyth: Austerity - The History of a Dangerous Idea [2]). Also, even the IMF has studies where the positive effects of austerity are questioned [3].

Also, the EU needs much more wealth redistribution than it is currently happening, and austerity acts contrary to that:

I agree with you entirely.

Nevertheless, when Dutch spokespeople say "high tech", they mean machines, robots, chips, etc. Complex machinery that you can touch. More generally, hardware.

There's quite a bunch of impressive stuff happening in this space in the Netherlands, even compared to Silicon Valley. Companies like ASML (builder of the chip machines that produced 80% of the chips in your smartphone) and FEI (electron microscopes that can show individual molecules) are some BigCorp examples that are tremendously successful but remarkably unknown outside the Netherlands. There's a whole bunch of startups and SMEs doing similar stuff at similar levels: PhenomWorld, Solaytec, Mapper, Nemo Healthcare are a small number of pretty successful ones that I know of, and there's a whole bunch more.

In this space, Silicon Valley has Intel and Apple. These are huge and awesome companies, but there's a way smaller slipstream of SMEs to complement them, definitely if you compare it to the total amount of tech businesses there. To my knowledge, the vast, vast majority of Silicon Valley startups do web/mobile stuff these days.

On a personal note though, I find that while these Dutch companies make incredibly impressive products, the way they accomplish this is often very old-fashioned and stubborn. 30 million lines of untested, undocumented, takes-a-night-to-compile C code, anyone? Welcome to ASML.

> If the banks were going to default without taxpayer help, why didn't we just nationalize them and let the share holders take the loss they themselves have set themselves up for?

That sounds a bit like only risk-taking share holders would have been harmed and that wouldn't be much harm for the society at all.

I really don't think that the harm would be that focused, because banks aren't only about risk-taking share holders and because of the interconnection of banks at the end someone might be harmed you've never thought about.

I really don't envy any politician having to make a decision in such a case.
I wonder what the rest of Europe would have voted if the questions was 'do we keep greece in EU' via a Europe wide referendum. I think Greece should already start packing before such referendum would start.

The rest of europe, the citizens, are PISSED off at greece. The amount of euros spend per citizen on greece is INSANE.

Varoufakis should have stayed with his computer games; he considers these EU talks as a game too. The guy is incompetent.

They reference Asimov. Good. His rules should provide enough inspiration and he explored them thoroughly.

For example: the zeroth law (preserve humanity) might help in deciding between a child and an adult. If the adult is beyond reproductive age (e.g. elderly) it may save the child. If the adult is still able to reproduce and the child would not survive on its own, save the adult. In case of doubt it should probably use quality adjusted life years, and that will probably cause it to save the child.
I don't see the EFF saying that ICANN is as a whole of that opinion; what they said is that there is such a proposal, and that ICANN is considering it (which they are, and which is why they're asking for external input).

It's not an unconditional promise. The promise assumes that the partner does the same. Yet only men are being punished (via taking their children, houses, monies), a clearcut violation of their human rights that bayesianhorse is defending.
> you have to find agreement with the other 18 elected leaders that try to represent their people as well

That right there might be the root of all EU problems.
I disagree. It's worth mentioning simply because the practice has survived a long time trough many cultures. Time is a really good curator - if something survives a really long time (thousand of years scale) it is very likely to be of use.

Petzold is awesome. His blog has several articles he's written about his political views. I'm glad that someone with that kind of notoriety isn't afraid to write about politics.
I can't fault the Greek government for lending what the creditors (banks from Germany and France) were willing to provide. I think the creditors made a huge mistake in their greed and thinking it was a sound investment since the credit would be backed by strong countries in the Eurozone anyway. And I also think ik was a huge mistake to include Greece in the Eurozone, since at the time the problems with the Greek economy were already well known.

Now the Greeks have voted no, we finally have reached the moment we can right these wrongs. Greece should leave the Eurozone so they can achieve a better trade position. The Greek debts should be wroten off as losses to the creditors so the Greek economy can recover. And perhaps other weak countries in the Eurozone should follow suit, eventually.

It's morally wrong to keep the Greek people in endless debts that they'll never be able to repay anyways.
Such systems are prone to political effects. For example, a pop song would get much more upvotes than a genuine discussion. Over time intellectuals leave because of the noise.
There's no "shareware" per se, but there's plenty of "indie trialware" if you will and it's doing really well.

I have long-time friends who live very comfortably from a small herd of shareware products. I also know others who decided to grow at some point and now operate moderately-sized software shops that too are doing well. All of these are on Windows, and nearly all of them are desktop software. One thing to keep in mind that smaller companies tend to put up a larger corporate facades, so the chances are that you've seen plenty of single-man shareware shops without realizing it.
Since the power that the attackers have in these messages is the reaction of the recipient, it might be possible to turn this around.

Yes, but not by using the mechanism you go on to describe. You simply have to show the harasser that their harassment doesn't bother you. The points system won't convey that to a troll. Worrying about trolls enough to join into such a system validates, not defuses, their efforts.

Interesting article but I fundamentally disagree with the notion that the excellent school system is the cause of the good English skills of the Dutch (which undoubtedly exist). It's far more likely that the major reason is the non-subbed TV/movies imo (well a combination of both)

I've always associated the Netherlands with being a tech saavy nation. They always had a vivid hacking scene for example. Additionally the Dutch tend to be citizens of the world and pretty open minded which is a good mix.
I completely agree with the assessment of Amsterdam. Nice city, not overly expensive, pretty great for youngish people -> good competitive edge (Berlin is similar but Amsterdam has more of a startupy general vibe imo).
He called the creditors 'terrorists' though. He didn't have to do that and I really can't blame the creditors for wanting someone else at the table.
