The EU found a very pragmatic solution which spares Greece to become a second Argentina.
I agree that would be the best economic theoretical model, is it in any way feasible realistically though?

Politically?

Even if ignoring the EU side of it (which is nontrivial for various reasons not limited to defense, the vision of the EU, etc), is there a magic wand that would make the Greek government not be populist and wasteful with their own currency?

Yes, you can filter it at the GA level or block it server-side but some of it can only be blocked at the GA level (because they are sending a fake ping to Google with your GA ID, rather than crawling your website)
Seriously. The average P/E ratio for a stock on the mainland indexes was 84. For a frame a reference, Facebook's is around 78. There's no way that could last.
This is really intriguing!

What's the relationship between your UX markup language and XAML? Superficially they look similar - DockPanel/ScrollViewer etc (or are these more standardised elsewhere?) - with bindings/triggers being very different, Each being very different.

Is yours a superset? Does it implement full xaml layouts? Do you support xaml grids? Do you have an equivalent to xaml namespacing? Is yours actually xml in the xhtml sense or is it looser?

Is building a Fuse app anything like building an MVVM WPF app? Are you creating .net objects at any point? Is your c# thing (uno) .net?

It's simply "don't perform install, maintaince, or upgrade mechanisms over manual means ever".

Do NOT cut off your SSH channel. You'll be kicking yourself when you want to sftp a file off of a box pretty quickly. And you might need it in an emergency.

Focus on good automation - whether immutable systems or otherwise, and be sure you can rebuild your infrastructure completely from source control. Do this by refusing to make manual changes, and knowing any manual changes will be often clobbered by the system.
That's not the issue. Is the uncertainty of unwittingly signing yourself or the recipient up for junkmail or yourself for more spam.
Yes, the currency would take a while to stabilise, but it's not like Greece is a model of stability as it is. The argument for, is that the stabilisation following a massive devaluation, will happen sooner than whatever the endgame to the current circus is, will.

> My "at least a year" claim is based on this:

Now, why would a politician exaggerate how painful a solution he doesn't like is? Does he really think that post-grexit Greece and Iraq in 2003 are completely comparable in terms of security and infrastructure? Does he know that Iraq's economy was almost entirely cash-based whereas Greece's is based on a fairly modern banking system?

I base my claim on actual history that actually happened:

I agree it's a bit one sided as portraying Greece as mucked up and also it's old history and one should focus on how to fix things now. The same author wrote a similar article on what went wrong in Iceland "its debt is 850 percent of G.D.P" and it's interesting that Iceland took a completely different policy to Greece's so far, defaulting, and is doing quite well really.

I think the austerity inflicted on Greece is kind of dumb. They should try to keep up the aggregate spending so the economy doesn't crater. But by encouraging new business etc to provide jobs for the 50% unemployed young people rather than paying huge salaries and pensions to incumbent government employees.
De facto nonprofit.
Problem is the Greek's were screwed over in the first 'bailout'.

They should have defaulted on the debt they owed to the private sector banks but instead EU/IMF etc. convinced them to borrow money from them to pay off the banks.
All engineering projects start with unknowns - the specifics of the requirements, and also external constraints such as the geology of proposed dam or bridge sites - but answering them rarely makes any significant addition to the body of scientific knowledge.

In this regard, the practice of software development (as opposed to the state of the art) is mostly distinguished by an aversion to seeking answers to these questions before developing a solution. Software engineering attempts to change this, but in practice, it is often pursued through ad-hoc rules-of-thumb of the sort that craftsmen use, rather than anything equivalent in rigor to physical engineering's foundation in the physical sciences.

The situation is different with IMF, South American political culture and Mercosul.

Still, assuming it was the case, Greece would just take more time to 'become a second Argentina'.
Fairly standard for such a low rent, she's lucky she didn't have mice skittering over her feet in her kitchen...
I am one of these citizens.
There are two possibilities:

1. You believe in Europe. You understand there are faults in the Euro design that bring to this situation. You try to fix the problem with the minimum of suffering of European citizens.

2. You don't care about "Europe" you only want your money back: If this is the case, you should implement some kind of agreement that leave the debtors to recover enough to pay something.

Nothing of that is happening.

What is going on is that I, a European citizen, give public money from my taxes to the Greek government so he can repair private debts to French and German banks and now that they are free of the mess, we are going to destroy the Greek economy because..

well because they are lazy and they really deserve it. Who cares if we don't get the money back. At least they will learn a lesson.

Oh yes, and they should privatize everything, stop collective bargaining and put their assets under German control.
Who should finance that and why?

Italy is having their own EU vs Greece moment internally with North vs South.
Sorry, I meant to write reparations, not sanctions. Reparations to help restore the economies of those countries that the Third Reich had looted and pillaged and left in ruins.

In my experience managing a very large enterprise cloud environment, the main interaction that we have with the networking teams (beyond standard NOC/ops) is dealing with self-inflicted wounds (proxy issues, etc).

I wouldn't want to be a network engineer now.
Both problems are only an issue if you don't have automated deployment or more than one server. Otherwise, you can simply drop a service from a load-balancer / cluster when doing an upgrade and add it back in once it's back up and passing health-checks.

Config drift can be avoided by using the same process to create new VMs and delete old ones, which is also part of confirming that your redundancy setup really works.
Because this is what happened when I google-translated your comment to Italian and back:

> I saw this complaint in the comments Ars' as well, but I have a problem with using Google Translate. If there was any confusion or if the situation was very complicated, then sure, get a real translator. But for a relatively simple Google Translate handles quite clearly, why bother?

Note the "I don't have a problem" -> "I have a problem". You cannot rely on Google Translate and as a journalist, you should not be so stupid to do so.
I never ever got a hangover and not for the lack of trying (heavy drinking is part of Polish culture). I doubt this particular aspect of drinking is a good test for alcoholism. In particular "still getting hangovers, not alcoholic yet" is a dangerous thought.
It looked like an awesome team, but investors didn't see the opportunity. I read that one fund (I think USV) took the miss as a lesson not to base investment decisions on whether their partners would use a particular service. The consuming proclivities of 50-year-old millionaires not being indicative of a larger market. Seems terribly sloppy as an investor (or prospective employee, for that matter) to be influenced by such a personal bias. But maybe the founders didn't fully expect such an amazing success, either?

Ask HN: Feedback on my Idea
I am thinking of developing an web app for requesting open source library ports. Basically, people can post existing libraries in a language and request for an port to any language, others can vote it or provide any existing libraries already available. Also, people can assign themselves to work on a project and others can also work along with them.

What do you think of it? any existing solutions already out there?
That has to be at the very least "compare/contrast". Individuals may well have free will but it's vastly more difficult to say the same of nation states.

The entire EU GDP growth rate is hovering around 1% and has for a very long time. Unless interest rates really are actually zero (or negative), there's no way in the aggregate to beat the vig for debt in Europe at all other than being lucky. That's closer to a lose-lose than I am comfortable with.

Apparently, there is now a tradeoff between the ECB balance sheet and whether or not certain countries are ... something like feasible.

Perhaps the analogy breaks down, but suppose that rather than this being Greece circa 2008 after the mortgage crash, this is South Carolina circa 1848ish after the Railroad Mania period? Then what?
I like the idea.

I still don't see that as "in Greeces' position", unless you're really just focusing on the debt as a solitary data point without giving heed to the other circumstances. Bad loans and fiscal irresponsibility isn't really the same as the fallout from a war.

But that has been debated again and again before and is basically the center of the whole brouhaha: Germany's debtors back then thought that after the debt relief it would become financially stable on its own. And that doesn't seem to be the case now with Tsipras' Greece -- and Schäuble doesn't seem to be the only one with that opinion.

Why not just "today, 14:31:47, Lisbon"? If I enter the expression I don't actually like receiving the expression as the answer. Also, the whole "expression" of the translation of the question is displayed, when most probably the user doesn't need it every time, and then it's initially confusing.

Um, actually what was going on so far was that I, a European citizen, gave public money from my taxes to the Greek government to do nothing of use - neither for the Greek citizen, nor for me. So there's also a possibility number 3 which means don't trust those guys, which is unfortunately exactly what's going on right now. Both the former and the actual Greek rulers lied big time - to the EU AND to their people, whatever is worse it's everyone's to decide.

The clause says you can not enforce any patents, copyrighted works or trademarks that is a part of an AWS service which you have used or are using. The service do not include code which you have brought to it.

In the extreme case that would allow amazon to steal code from customers and put that as a part of a customers currently running services, thus washing away the legal restrictions that copyright, patents and trademarks would otherwise create. I doubt that it would happen in practice since its a bit obvious scheme which would disregard authors intent of using AWS, and judges seems to have a history of following authors intent rather than legal loopholes.

That does not address the terms of service concerns. Not to mention that that sort of thing (random popups asking "do you want to enable X") gets far too many accidental misclicks. Look at bundled installers to see what I mean.
Worth noting that the situation in Iceland was completely different. Iceland had a few investment banks who decided to borrow vast sums and buy lots of dodgy assets, the government wasn't really directly involved (apart perhaps from poor regulation).

In Greek crisis the government is the main actor and the Greek banks were actually fairly well behaved.
As it stands, keeping the 'poorer' countries in the Eurozone seems like a very bad idea. The main reason being that -unlike the USA- people in e.g. The Netherlands don't feel a connection with people from Spain and vice versa. People in the northern European countries don't even feel a connection with people in the countries close to them, even though the cultures are much closer aligned (in terms of sobriety, work-ethos, etc…)

This I think is the main difference with the USA. The USA also has richer and poorer stats, but because of the shared language, history and culture, people in both the richer and the poorer states feel like a US citizen.
Managed service providers, Indian or not, will still offer to manage your cloud-based services for you. And IT managers will still pay them to.

My last network admin job a couple years back had outsourced their email and spam filtering (two separate services, don't ask me why) to a local MSP. This made absolutely zero sense to me.

Instead of simply logging into the web control panel of the respective service to add a new email address, check the spam filter for a message...instead you had to log into the MSP website and create a service ticket so they would do it, wait for a reply...

This is the canonical story of databases, I had similar frightening nights several years ago with my MongoDB setup. I'm not a DevOps guy and having to wake up to figure out what is broken (and it always being the database) eventually took a toll on me. What's the point of running my database in the cloud if my storage space is still finite? Isn't the whole point of the cloud unlimited scalability? So why on earth do I have to be an expert in MDADM, LVM and all that other junk in order to make use of those unlimited number of hard drives? Ugh, sorry for the rant but this story causes triggers in me back to those days. I tried doing stuff differently since, experimenting with new database concepts, trying to make things better, and the good news is that I have never had this problem since - so hopefully I can save the pain and woes of future souls, http://gunDB.io/ .
Of course I did. It was too preachy so I changed it. And then a mod changed it again.

7.5 ms of latency will not degrade your gaming experience, I'm pretty sure. If you're gaming at 60 fps, and move your mouse right after a new frame is displayed, the mouse movement won't be visible until the next frame, 16.66 ms later. And 60 fps feels smooth to me.

On my home internet connection, pinging, for example, google.dk gets me a response time of a few milliseconds, and a HTTP GET request for the root URL has the same latency. But if I do a HTTP GET request as part of the search, the latency is much higher.

I think the google.dk/com main page (and probably other heavily visited sites) are cached by ISPs, so that you don't necessarily reach Google when you ping or HTTP GET the root domain, but rather some network cache device between you and your ISP.

So be careful trusting that ping latency necessarily equals HTTP GET latency, or latency for some other request, to a server.
I agree that a massive devaluation followed by a stable-ish currency is preferable to the current circus.

I also agree that your skepticism is justified. However, you're mistaken that Varoufakis wrote that because he doesn't want an exit. In fact he's been arguing that Greece should have started preparations for a new currency years ago. Varoufakis even got fired because Tsipras wasn't willing to gamble with a possible grexit. Of course it's possible that Syriza did make preparations for the new Drachma and all claims to the contrary are just misdirection. I don't believe that, though.
