Numerous news articles, including this one, state that the new bailout package is harsher and more severe than the one proposed before the referendum. It makes no sense. The Greek government appears to have completely capitulated to the demands of the creditors.

Who wants to be a cheerleader for the EU after all this? This crisis has cast a pall over the whole European project. It's shown that the odious, un-caring, self-centred politics we all despise in our national politics is just as rampant and alive in the heart of European Union politics.

Nobody knows where the mobile ecosystem will be in 5 years, but right now native is the way to go for 'ambitious' apps.
Not only do all the major mobile teams I know write their app in Native Obj-c/Java, but also those that tried to use cross development platforms sooner or later decided that it was not worth it and restarted from scratch with native technology.

Maybe we will have some day a cross platform toolkit without any serious downside, but right now native is still the way to go.

If you are building a small app with limited resources, something like Xamarin might be a good compromise.

I absolutely love this phrase: "I don't think the Greek people have been humiliated, nor that the other Europeans have lost face. It is a typical European arrangement."

@2: Taking sovereignty from a government is a coup. Offering money to a country is everything, but not a coup. If a coup did take place, it took place in northern europe, where governments ignored the will of the people and went ahead to waste more money on the corrupt Greek system. The fact that Greece may or may not face “utter destruction” is solely due to Greek overspending and irresponsibility. What Germany offered was help under the condition that Greece stops killing itself.

Related: Why didn’t Greece implement some reforms already? Everywhere it seems to be a common understanding that reforms are only going to be implemented in return for more money. However, it is fairly obvious that it is in the country’s best interest to e.g. tackle its tax-collection problem regardless of whether or not new euros arrive. Why then does northern Europe have to insist on (among others) this reform and offer an incentive in the form of new credits to have it implemented? Can we go to Greece next week and say “Unless you pay us 80 billion over the next 3 years, we’re going to stop collecting taxes and face ‘utter destruction’!”? Can we then continue and blame them for staging a coup when they insist they’ll only pay those billions if we, in fact, do continue to collect taxes?

> The problem is that we (me and other citizens) are caught between the hammer and the anvil, on one side we have Europeans who don't care and on the other a corrupted government who doesn't want to take on anyone, oligarchs (ship-owners, tax-evaders, etc.).

You're going to want to keep your best employees. They're going to be thinking about leaving.

By virtue of being the best, these are the employees who would most easily be able to find work elsewhere, and they're the smartest employees who will not just shrug and carry on as before when they see their fellows being made redundant around them. They will think about what it means for the company (and thus their future). They will see what's happened and think about moving on. Maybe not right away, but they'll be thinking about it, and your best employees are (by definition) the ones who other companies most want.

You asked us to note where we speak from personal experience. I've seen it happen, and I've done it myself. I watched a round of redundancies come through, and I was told not to worry; I was essential and a good employee. I found another job with a company that was doing better. The company I left found that the people it most wanted to keep drifted away over the following year.

You need a plan to keep these employees.

Also, check the local laws for laying people off for whatever reason you're doing it. You'd hate to have someone come back with a legal claim in a year. I've seen that happen too.

Since then a lot has changed, I worked in Germany, Spain, Sweden, Italy and currently in Austria without an issues. Europe and the EU is for me and a lot of my generation something we are used to and don't want to give up easily for some "odious, un-caring, self-centred politics"

Where do you see the austerity: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/government-spending-t...

?

Public spending of GDP was 46.9% in 2008 and 49.3% in 2014.

Really, the brainwash is probably on the other side. Everybody talks about austerity, yet public spending has been growing steadily after WW II pretty much everywhere, even after 2008.

They can't. Not without support. It takes at least a year to create a new currency. They don't even have a functioning central bank. All businesses would have to adopt the new currency, all ATM machines, all government institutions. It's a huge project.

Besides, without trust in the new currency it won't be worth anything. That trust has to come from the backing of a foreign institution.

They would need a truly massive bailout at this point given how shot their economy is (and it's going to get worse yet). Who in their right mind would give Greece another $200 or $300 billion, which will be vaporized and simultaneously not result in sustainability. Which Eurozone members can even afford to pick up that tab, given the risk involved?

Here's what is going to happen: Greece will exit the Euro, issue their own currency, and debase the Greek standard of living by a drastic amount. There is no other possible outcome than for Greece to reset its economy at a much lower basis.

It's the exact same outcome as further austerity, merely camouflaged by the lie of inflation.
True, but at this point joining the EU pretty much involves consenting to adopt the Euro. Only Denmark and the UK have an opt-out afaik, all the other EU countries are obliged to join

Well, let's see. Tax collections in Greece are at a little over 10% what's owed compared to 97.5% in Germany, deficit spending is astronomical, they have hardly any exports except for tomatoes and olives, have been using cheap credit to splurge for over a decade with no means of repaying their debts, and the so-called austerity was a farce in that it failed to achieve any significant improvement in their financial situation, or the goals they were meant to reach.

Greece was ranked the most corrupt nation in the EU. Greece has a thriving black economy which is unofficially at around 35% of the total economy. On top of that, Greece was understating their deficit figures for years. Their national debt stands at €340 billion today, give or take a few billion.

Interest rates for Greece hovered at around 18% before they had the Euro, and not many were willing to lend to them. Later, cheap abundant credit helped them increase state spending on pensions, jobs, and benefits, all with borrowed money, while barely being able to manage to pay the interest on their debts; this brought them great political mileage at the time.

Now that the payments are due, €45 billion has left Greece in Q1 of this year. On June 15 alone, banks saw cash outflows of €400 million - yes, that's in one day. Youth unemployment is at 50% and nearly a quarter of a million people have left Greece for good over the past five years.

Now most of the country is up for sale, right down to their public infrastructure, ports, and so on, with very few buyers.

Austerity amounts to little when the rot is systemic at this scale. Greece should have never been in the EU in the first place, and they would have retained the Drachma if they were truly interested in sustainable long term stability.

I feel for the Greek people, but a cheap bailout is absolutely not the solution to this problem today.

Greece was "set up"? Hardly. They set themselves up.

Surely engineering is just about building stuff that works, or "meets requirements".

Is there any kind of engineering for which that is basically not the case?

Science is about understanding the natural world by building and testing hypothesis.

I can think of some grey areas. For example, in the 20th century it was discovered that the harmonic modes of oscillation of large structures, like bridges, was rather important to their structural stability. Once this was well understood, clearly it was the engineers who built better and stronger structures with inbuilt dampening and so forth. But who actually sat down and figured out the math behind structural harmonic response, and showed how it could lead to disaster? A scientist or an engineer? It seems both very sciency and engineery.

What austerity has come to mean, is: 'slow down in spending expansion.' The same austerity talk has been frequent in the US since 2008, where there has been zero actual austerity.

Most Eurozone economies are dependent on growth in government spending to generate GDP growth. With slow government spending expansion, GDP growth in the Eurozone fell to basically zero for seven years. Panic sets in when they can't expand government spending, because everything else is so dependent on it.

being a member of the eurozone and being a member of the EU is still a difference.

as the latter: Greece benefitted quite a bit from EU subsidies since joining. you can argue about if the same holds true for joining the eurozone.
Did you just claim Greece committed a coup on Germany? This can't be serious. Every government on the planet squanders money. That doesn't mean the government action is illegitimate or undemocratic.

> Greece faces [utter destruction] solely due to Greek overspending and irresponsibility

Not true. Have you been following the discussion? It's a multifaceted problem. One huge aspect is that the production in Greece can't compete with production in northern Europe. Besides, moral grandstanding doesn't solve anything. Bad policy just makes the situation in Greece worse. So we shouldn't do that. Punishing people for the mistakes of their government is cruel and pointless.

> What Germany offered was help under the condition that Greece stops killing itself.

Unfortunately, nope. Germany offered more debt to a country already in debt, and demanded the sort of reform that damages the already deeply depressed economy. It's not help if it's not helping.

> Related: Why didn’t Greece implement some reforms already?

Because Germany forbade it. Syriza wanted to raise taxes and take on tax evaders ages ago. Germany said no, because that would be "unilateral action" and would lead to even greater hostility. Did you follow the crisis at all?
