I'm in the middle of reading "Countdown to Zero Day", the book about Stuxnet. It contains a very good summary of how Iran started enriching Uranium, where they acquired the technology to build the centrifuges, and how most countries that signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons attempted to reason with Iran to stop enriching Uranium.

I highly recommend it for anyone interested in this topic. And of course the detailed analysis of Stuxnet is great as well.

Right now, there's a lot of bubbling neutral-to-pro-US sentiment in the younger, wealthier segments of Iran.

If we purposefully, wantonly destroy their economy without even negotiating, that disappears, and we turn potential allies into absolute enemies.

The level of currency devastation they've had since the beginning of these sanctions, and resulting unemployment, have already pushed their finances to the brink.

Normally "sane" countries (Germany, Italy, Russia WW1) that go over the brink economically tend to go batshit crazy, and put into power the worst elements from their society, and invest even more control in authoritarian hands.

I don't think anyone wants a regional power like Iran, controlling the wealth that it does with the military it has, to go bankrupt, and even worse elements to take power.

We may not like their government, but at least they're rational. ISIS shows there's far, far deeper levels of crazy just waiting to be unleashed.

TL;DR: Not being callously destructive of another country's economy, whilst negotiating in good faith, is in our national security interests.

Source? I've seen the opposite, that the IAEA and others will have unfettered access wherever they want, otherwise the sanctions come back into effect immediately.
1. Iran is now geopolitically stronger than it was before Iraq and Afghan wars. It won just by giving only minimal assistance to it's allies. Iraq is now Iran's ally.

2. Other countries are moving ahead. Approximately 10% of China's oil imports are from Iran. 11% of of India's oil comes from Iran. Iran is selling long term exclusive rights to China.
If you really want to learn it, take what you need, disconnect (devices off), go sit in a field, no people around and read until you understand something.

Presumably it's an issue of national sovereignty - it is their country, and they are broadly able to do any activities on their land as they see fit, just as the EU and US have seen fit to develop nuclear weapons.

Presumably the alternative is to threaten to invade or impose economic sanctions, but that doesn't seem to me like the beginning of a productive conversation. If anything it might increase the urgency of getting weapons, of any type, to be taken seriously.

North korea is what scares me, because the path seems exactly similar to iran's one. Half-baked embargo , fear of sending soldier or bombing nuclear infrstructures, followed by half-backed agreements, leading to a country lead by insane dictator with nuclear bombs.

Only north korea had china to protect it, whereas iran has (to my knowledge) nobody wanting to risk anything for it.
Sure, it is certainly possible that mathematics can be automated, but mathematics is also over 2000 years old. We are not much closer to automating it than the Greeks were. P=NP does not only break the Complexity theory (which is a relatively new invention), it also has profound consequences to all of human reasoning.
Difficult not to love how he discusses everything with a very different language from traditional politans (or I would say, professional polititians). He sounds true and honest, and by no means a radical inciendary that wants to destroy the EU and the Euro. His political career has been cut short by massive pressure from all sides but he has gained sympathy for Syriza's cause worldwide in a very short time and nonetheless make progress in negotiations despite having everyone against his ideas in economic institutuions.

I'm sure we'll miss Varoufakis and I hope his style - be like a common mortal - permeates politics everywhere.

Tap-water is very much a hit-or-miss here in Germany. In some cities (like Berlin) it's almost hazardous, while in other cities it's very drinkable. The tubes the water passes also make a big difference (there are still lot's of lead tubes lying around in old houses).

We got our-self a home reverse-osmosis filter system that clears water of most particles and drink very clean water with abandon (~1 ppm non-water particles). It's really a luxury worth having, especially with kinds. Plus, no carrying around bottled water.

And no, the lack of minerals in the water did not kill any of us.. that's a fable. In fact, your body will only absorb minerals from water it if it can't get it from other food sources that have them in a more optimal chemical bounding.

Have you read the Iran deal? The Iranians were happy about it, this it likely wasn't a good deal for the rest of us. The Iranians can't be trusted. If Obama cares about Iran, he would have supported their Green Revolution; instead those protestors were executed, tortured or imprisioned. Yet, strangely, Obama supported the Egyptian coup. Honestly, Obama doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to foreign policy. He sort of waddles along weakening the U.S. position whenever possible.

right, to clarify I did factor this in. I mean that not only do self-driving cars work and meet regulatory scrutiny, but they bring about a shift in user behavior where most transportation is on demand and shared. That way less cars can work around the clock and people will not need as many of them.

Also, this is a pretty lofty goal for tesla. They haven't produced working self-driving tech (the ones now work at low speed and highway but are not 100x better than humans), they don't have experience with high volume production, the gigafactory isn't complete yet, etc. I am really excited for this to happen, but I am not sure if when that clock sweeps over into new years 2021 there will half a million autonomous teslas.

I'd like to see a source for that. Tap water in Berlin is perfectly fine and drinkable. Tap water is actually held to standards that are at least as strict as bottled water. The only issue that can possibly arise is that you're living in an old house that still has lead piping, though those are very uncommon today. If you're in doubt you can have your water tested for 20 EUR, if there's a pregnant person or an infant in the household it's free: http://www.bwb.de/content/language1/html/blei.php

Revolution is almost always a bad thing for liberal democracy. See, e.g., the Arab Spring, the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Had those protestors been successful, there is a significant possibility would have been co-opted by elements that executed, tortured, and imprisoned a lot more people. See, e.g., the French Revolution.

Iran, in contrast, is well on its way to having a functional democracy. The power of the ayatollah wanes every year, and every new generation of young Iranians is more liberal than before. The best thing the U.S. can do is be friendly and wait for that to play out. Because if there is any hope for another democracy in the Middle East, it's in a place where people are already accustomed to the benefits of having a functioning government with significant and growing public participation.

Sceptical Iranian here. There are groups that profit from an ongoing tension and conflict on both sides. This time around it seems they have lost the hand, but we would be a fool to think that this agreement settles things for good.

This has always been and will always be a fluid situation. I think the work has just begun now, let's hope the sane people inc charge on both sides will keep things positive. Otherwise it only takes one delayed inspection permit, or an angry military general to take things back right to the start.
It was his pen, that was his biggest contribution to it. His involvement in crafting the legislation, and getting the necessary votes, was almost non-existent. It was the super majority Democratic Congress that was responsible for making the ACA happen. Both in terms of wrangling the votes together, and reaching the countless compromises necessary to get it through by the slim margin it ultimately passed by.
Today, for example, HN seems to love the Iran deal that was certainly not negotiated in public. It'll be decades before we see drafts, notes, etc.

> He sort of waddles along weakening the U.S. position whenever possible.

A comprehensive Iran-US 'peace deal' (or even a strategic partnership going forward) would immensely strengthen US standing around the world, dramatically reducing tensions in the Middle East and providing a balance to the uncritical reliance on Saudi Arabia and Turkey that so much pain has brought since the '90s (from Al Qaeda to IS). So uhm, there is that.

But yeah, I agree that it weakens fearmongers' positions, both in US, Israel and Iran.

You can't do on the backend everything what SPA can. You simply can't manipulate views without page reload and if you want to do it by injecting JS into backend templates, it will be just mimicking of SPA on the server side, and it's the most ugliest thing what can exist - from the development point of view.

I support parent comment and I can add: SPA split responsibilities between server side and frontend. It helps us to build services with APIs, reusable with different clients (mobile app can use same API with absolutely different UI), so this split looks like natural evolution.

It sounds like you haven't had enough people visiting the websites (50-150USD isn't much on Google Ads... provided the product itself generates enough revenue to pay for them in the long run) I mean, money transfer and claims consultancies are real enough business models, but your rivals have large ads in Tube stations and daily automated calls. I'm not suggesting you should go that far, but the trouble is I don't see much evidence that you've actually done much to get people to your sites - there's not much in the way of content and I doubt you show up in search even for relatively niche queries like "npower overcharge refund".

Since you're keen to improve your skills and domain knowledge, SEO and marketing are what's going to make you money.

The same goes for tweaking the wording. npower being forced to refund £70m customers should be on the front page, not halfway down the FAQ below a couple of sarcastic comments.
(I didn't know that, and I once had a £2.5k sorry-we-haven't-billed-you-on-time gas bill from npower land on my doormat, which fortunately was not my debt) Similarly, I don't see a mail address, company registration and details of FCA registration in the footer for Transfercorp, which is a pretty massive red flag for a site promising to handle my money. Your site on the theme of lost money transfers doesn't link to your actual money transfer site. It's not the technical behaviour of the app that's holding you back.
I think the future of the Middle East is a tense balance between Saudi and Iranian poles, with both countries being normalized in the international community. The USA can't bring either country to heel, but it can hopefully prevent the stalemate from being nuclear along Sunni-Shia lines. But what's also changed is that the US needs a normalized partner in Iran to fully isolate ISIS, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other far worse actors. I think we can also be encouraged by the demographics in Iran, which are moving younger and more liberal. I'm cautiously optimistic.
When I go to their home page it says "Fanduel is only available to users in the US and Canada". So it's not even available in their home country?

"We may not like their government but at least they're rational"

Well, a theocracy is almost by definition not rational, in the modern sense. It's based on divine laws, obedience, and absolute faith on an ideology. Not logic, provability, and the scientific method.

Dealing with the iranian regime the same way you would deal with an occidental country is the greatest mistake i think.

Thinking "sure, they apply shariah, and believe islam is the only true religion, and that god leads them, but deep inside they know things aren't that simple" is applying your own logic to them ( and by them, i mean people with guns who are in power, not young iranians looking the web for Game of Thrones episodes).
That's a different metric.
You have to realize that Iran is threatened by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia. I won't be surprised when they break this deal and have their own nuclear weapons.

In terms of accessibility, my first two "serious" coding projects in high school were an interactive library map and a Latin flashcard quiz game written in Flash and Perl, respectively. At the end of the projects, I decided to focus my efforts on the more intuitive of the two languages, Perl.

Of course, life is hard and all that. Still, whenever two old foes sit down and agree on how to move forward, it's a good day for the world. Please keep supporting the "sane" elements.
