Post 1986 at least, the ATF not only (heavily) regulates the sale and manufacture of any firearm capable of automatic fire, but they also approve all manufacturing plans to ensure that firearms on the market today are not easily convertible to full automatic.

If you get your hands on an old enough SKS, for example, a full auto conversion is dead simple (though obviously illegal without the $200 tax stamp), but for that very reason, those types of arms tend to get snatched up by the legitimate collectors and spirited away into collection vaults while their value climbs.

I'd guess it as unlikely that there are fully automatic firearms in use in crime of any significant amount, but that's only a guess, and not really based on anything other than my gut.

As far as political strategies go, I agree, in theory. As with all deeply held sentiments, in practice, it's harder to live and let live to those in opposition than just trying really hard... a fault I share with many.

The money from the bailout programme went into the banks, sure. But that only happened because those banks had given out loans to Greece before. I agree that banks made some income from interest rates and also because they bought Greek bonds at lower-than-face value. However, somehow these bonds were still issued by Greece and bought by someone.

Where did the money from all these bonds go? To Greece.

Well, I guess that depends on your perspective of the reforms... IMO, the required reforms, and austerity in grneral, were all wrong (as in, unrealistic and economically unsound).
> Greece is a country, not a person. Did all Greeks benefit equally from that money?

If they haven’t, that’s an issue internal to Greece to be sorted out by Greek people. You can’t continuously elect corrupt oligarchic governments for 40 years and then turn around and shout “Not my fault!!” if these governments don’t act in your best interest.

> "That’s because the Wall was a PA of PAs—six independent PAs, one for each instrument. Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, vocals, bass, drums, and piano each had a dedicated PA, according to the official Deadheads Newsletter No. 19, published in December 1974. This did away with having to mix everything through a single set of speakers. The “single biggest thing besides the true line array aspect” of the Wall, as Wiz told me, was how there was no need for panning, or adjusting various sound levels on a mixing console."

Much of live sound today sounds pretty poor and a great sound tech and producer, Lennart Östlund from the ABBA Polar Studio, told us (small workshop on mixing) that the cure was exactly what the Dead did. A PA per instrument. If you can't do that at least split the vocals to a separate system. Which he had actually tried with great success several times.

> Other countries have managed to claw themselves out of bigger holes than this.

Do you have examples of any that have done so without extensive debt relief? I can't think of any.

IMF's most optimistic numbers (which rests on wildly unrealistic assumptions) indicates it would take decades, and they've made it very clear that the debt isn't sustainable at all. When their past attempts at forecasting the Greek situation has consistently understated the problems, that ought to be pretty sobering.

> Right now there is no good or easy way out of the mess any more

Maybe not "good or easy", but substantially less damaging than what's been put on the table: Drastic debt cuts coupled with short term financing, coupled with reforms that aren't tied at reducing Greek government spending, or at least replaces any spending cuts with investment elsewhere (as the spending cuts have been a driver for the drastic contraction of GDP).
"Germany is really the single best example of a country that, throughout its history, has never repaid its external debt. Neither after the First nor the Second World War."

Actually I remember an article posted a while ago right here on HN about the last payments for WW1. It is possible that Mr. Piketty may not have updated information, but it is also possible that he deliberately ignores some facts in order to stir a bigger debate.

In British English your two university examples mean different things. 'I am going to university' means that I will study at some unspecified university, but 'I am going to the university' means I am going to travel to a specific, presumably already mentioned, university or even more likely to the nearest one. The first would be said by a student while the second by someone who works at a university (lecturer, secretary, cleaner, jobbing builder, etc.).

Similarly 'I am going to shop' and 'I am going to the shop'.
It's not rubbish. At the time the laws were last tightened there were serious discussion to the effect that simply being sent illegal images via email would be enough to get a conviction.

I'm not saying it's a good law.

Even if mens rea applies to this area of law, it includes categories of recklessness and negligence, which could quite easily be argued along the lines of "you were browsing an unregulated P2P network that is known for containing contraband images".

> Democracy is responsibility of the successive government for the deeds of the previous one.

NO. Democracy is the right of the people to violently topple down their corrupt government when they think it no longer represents them, to put up a new government that better represents them, and not to have the hold the new government responsible for the debt and crimes of the old one.

Yes, you'd need to do it violently to be able to legitimately affirm that "the old guys don't represent us, and we're not going to pay their debts! (don believe us when we say they don't represent us at all? look over there and see their bodies impaled on stakes! raise them from their graves and sue them if you want those paid back!)".

"Real democracy" means admitting that government corruption is real, that once every XX decades you need a violent "cleanse" to get rid of it, and that "civil war" or "revolution" can be a natural way for a people to occasionally re-sort-out their priorities and take back control of their government.

That's what the Greek people should do if they had a pair!

...now, in all honesty, I'm not a big fan of violence and therefore I'm not a big fan of "real democracy" either :) But then you need to add a "reset" button to any monetary policy system, you don't want the natural "violent reset" option. You can choose between "real democracy and violent resets for crises" or "not-so-real democracy plus not-really-fair-but-functional-economic-reset-buttons".

(EDIT + : ...and yeah, there's also the third option of keeping the people too brainwashed and confused for them to realize what their real options are. And then you can redirect the people's energies from "reform and government cleansing" to more appealing high-level EU objectives like being pawns in a game leading to fiscal unification... which is what's probably really happening right now. And probably not such a bad thing either.)

And yeah, some countries, like Germany, will have to literally pay (like in "pay by forgetting about getting back that debt in reasonable time and, kissing goodbye the right to take up insanely-low-interest credit") to keep these "non violent economic reset buttons" on, because they are actually paying for the "privilege to live in an EU not thorn apart by wars and revolutions".

Homo sapiens societies are by their nature violent, unstable and corrupt. Peace is neither cheap nor fair. If you want to live in a "peaceful neighborhood" you should be willing to pay 10x higher prices on your damn house, utilities, car, school etc., and accept the ethically dubious choices you'll have to make to keep that peace!

Have you perhaps considered that his background in game theory might make it reasonable to consider whether he's taken on a role on purpose?

It strikes me as odd that people are so quick to pile on criticism of his behaviour without asking why, given his background.

Perhaps it really is just personality flaws or too much enthusiasm. Or perhaps it's part of an intentional strategy (if so, whether or not it's been a good strategy we'll first find out when we see the end-result).
> Other countries have managed to claw themselves out of bigger holes than this

One of the main reasons why other countries have been able to quietly improve their economy is the fact that the markets are real busy betting against Greece. They have been forced to issue Government debt at huge interest rates (at some point 15% if I remember correctly).

We are living in a world with global markets for private capital, but without global defenses for the national governments. The few global institutions that are supposed to act on a global level (IMF, UN, World Bank, ...) are controlled by a market-fundamentalist ideology, making them enemies instead of friends.

All this would be nice and good if we were living in a perfect market, where all players are treated equally. Instead, we are living in a world where:

- rating agencies hold huge power because of the favoritism that they get from political elites: credit papers have to be rated by one of the international agencies for some funds/governments to be able to invest in them

- banks are too big to fail

- financial markets are rigged in favor of some players (dollar)

- banks are allowed to make huge profits with a zero risk game, unloading risky credit on taxpayers whenever deemed necessary.

The market is only there for the suckers.

It's more that just about Greece's debts, it's about Greece's persistent refusal to live within it's means. Other EU countries have higher debt to GDP ratios than Greece, but they reformed their economies, increased government revenues and reduced spending to make those debts sustainable. Greece has not. They were supposed to sell of 50 Bn Euros of state assets, 5 years later they've sold less that 3 Bn worth. They've persistently dragged their feet over even basic sensible reforms. It didn't have to be this way, under Giorgos Papakonstantinou Greece was well on it's way to financial reform.

Note that the Greek banks are dying not because the ECB has stopped lending to them, it's because it has stopped automatically ramping up the amount of it's lending. Even just freezing emergency lending on a daly basis is bringing the country to it's knees. What Greece wants is for the other EU nations to forgive past debts while also continuing to keep on lending to them with no end in sight. This is why the creditor countries are getting so frustrated negotiating with Greece.

Other nations went through tough times, got their finances in order and are now paying off their debts sustainably. Greece has chosen not do that. It's inability to pay off it's debts is a choice they have made.
When you dissect the word "shareware", "share" has an entirely different meaning now.

What did "share" actually mean then?
Even the IMF have admitted that the debt is unstainable. The Eurozone refused debt restructuring, which was the main thing Varoufakis was holding out for.

Without debt restructuring the same thing will happen 5/10 years down the line. An economist will try to fix, politicians like to push it down the line, so they don't have to deal with it.

Some debt needs to forgiven, while economy needs to competitive. Euro deal was the opposite of this.

That's what has caused the rift.

Regarding Australia, there's an analysis here from 2006, 10.5 years after the gun law reforms:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2704353/

Here are the key points from the paper:

> A radical gun law reform occurred in Australia after a gun massacre (35 dead and 18 seriously injured) in April 1996. Semi‐automatic and pump‐action shotguns and rifles were banned; a tax‐funded firearm buyback and amnesties saw over 700 000 guns surrendered from an adult population of about 12 million.

> The total firearm deaths, firearm homicides and firearm suicides had been falling in the 18 years preceding the new gun laws. In all, 13 mass shootings were noticed in the 18 years preceding the new gun laws.

> In the 10.5 years after the gun law reforms, there have been no mass shootings, but accelerated declines in annual total gun deaths and firearm suicides and a non‐significant accelerated decline in firearm homicides. No substitution effects occurred for suicides or homicides.

edit: it is interesting that they looked for substitution effects. Like `sdenton4` commented, the lethality of the weapon matters.

If it is difficult to access firearms and there isn't really a similarly lethal alternative to easily kill someone else or yourself, it seems intuitively reasonable that we might expect to see less death.

I'm surprised I read down so far before somebody brought up that about sqaurely 2/3 of the 30kish gun deaths stat that always gets banded about is from suicides.. Not surprised you brought it up.

Probably not the best post to throw my 2c in to but... I don't see how the right to own guns could ever be anything more than opinionated. For me personally the numbers are just too low (especially after accounting for gangs deaths) to get behind anything other than increased purchasing checks.. Even then not sure how much actually good that would do.

In my experience it's not the PA that makes it sound poor but the 'sound guy'.

I also have a hard time believing that a separate system will make it sound better. You still need to adjust the level of each PA to create a good mix.
This is all true now, but it wasn't when this whole circus started.

As for the present my personal preference would be to simply forgive all debt and to ask Greece (politely) to exit the Euro and not to apply for re-admission until they have the house in order.

That's not going to be a very popular option but it would give the Greeks a fighting chance to solve this the Greek way.

Already a large chunk of the debt was written off (in 2012) so there is some precedent for that but back then the motivation was a different one (to keep Greece in the Euro at all costs and to offload the private sector problems onto the public one).

I've seen those "abs(fp_number)<some_tiny_value" in front of divisions, because people fear that the division will "blow up" in some way if a zero or sufficiently small number is passed to it.

if (abs(q) >= 1e-6)
rel_val = abs_val / q;
else
overflow_flag = true;

But it's quite pointless, as the semantics of floating point calculations give you the indication about overflow right in the division result, it will be marked as positive or negative infinity.

rel_val = abs_val / q;
if (isnan(rel_val) || !finite(rel_val) || ans(rel_val) > some_limit)
overflow_flag = true;

(of course your FPU should be configured to not produce exceptions in the case of division by zero)
