Leaving the euro zone is in Greece's own interest anyway. Greece is in the position it is today because it cannot execute on its structural reforms. It still cannot raise taxes and has an overweight public sector. Leaving the euro zone will at least improve competitivity and give them a fighting chance to produce again.

And this is beside the moral position of demanding that the german tax payers cover the expenses of the Greek state that the Greek tax payers can't be bothered to pay.

Disruption is often necessary. European countries have a nasty habbit of preferring a permanent mild pain to a greater upfront pain and then drawing a line and starting on a right foot.
Motorolla, Blockbuster, Palm, etc... Every one of these companies "had it all" and "lost it all". When I was younger and heard the term, "If a business isn't growing it's dying" I thought it was stupid. I finally get it.

● If a business isn't diversifying its risks and assets it can lose them all. Similar to family trees, too few kids and a single war or natural disaster can wipe out the whole family and permanently end their branch of their family tree.

● Don't be afraid to pivot. Nintendo was originally a playing card company. Samsung was originally a trading company. Squaresoft was originally a power line construction company.

● Be your own competition. If a new product in the company destroys the old products, that's a good thing. The company still wins. When you are your own competitor weather you win or lose, you still win.
I just tried it again on the Mac, this time with a shallow browser window. It worked. My previous window was close to 1600px high.

I noted earlier that it worked fine on Ubuntu using an old version of Chrome. That machine's monitor is 1360x768.
According to eurostat, Greek consolidated gross debt was 356bn € in 2011, 305bn € in 2012. (This seems to be sometime in the middle of each year.)

There was a write-off, but it wasn't enough.

I'm happy to hear this here because I finally got rid of Adsense on my site in favor of direct-sold banners. My main reasoning was that the retargeted/network purchased ads were not relevant to my content or not of the quality I want associated with my brand.

When I think of my favorite magazines (which cost money and have ads) the ads are almost a part of the content and I want to look at them. So I wanted to try and create that sort of ad quality for my readers; relevant, nice looking ads that aren't creepy.
That's a fascinating talk. Thanks for linking to it.

Common practice here nowadays. You have to be ready to take a hit in your karma if you bring up a viewpoint that is not widely accepted here. Kind of makes me sad.

Anyways back to your points, this is exactly right. Ellen Pao fired Victoria for no good reason and NYT conclusion -> she is hated because she is a female. I can't find words to describe this level of hypocrisy. I am pretty sure that there are people who disliked her due to sheer misogyny but 200.000 people signed that petition. You don't need to be extremely good with math to understand that those people cannot just all be like that.

Anyways, I agree with you that fabricating things like this article is extremely bad, btw. this is what Chomsky calls manufacturing consent, and he is damn right about it.
As an exercise. Talk to non-tech people. Listen to politicians on the matter (not those advocating for privacy, of course, those who talk about stopping terrorism and the war on drugs, hackers, etc).

I think quantum computing with quantum states in atoms being transistor states will be final progression of Moore's Law. But we are definitely feeling the effects of the end right now.

Thank you genuinely for the compliment, but I'm afraid I've never been that organized.
As a German I find your complete misrepresentation of reality insulting. The German political class is the reason why Greece still has the Euro.

The Eastern Europeans never wanted to bail-out the Greeks to begin with, and have zero sympathy for their cries about inhumane austerity because the "austere" Greeks are still better off than the Eastern Europeans. Thus any transfer of money from e.g. Lithuania to Greece is perceived as a crying injustice.

But even in Western Europe Germany is close to being Greece's best friend. The first bail-out was almost sabotaged by the Finns when they demanded collateral for their money. Which caused the Dutch to ask for that too. Meanwhile Evil Evil Schäuble knew that the Greeks would never be able to pay back that money - and lied to the German people about that "your money is safe, we will get everything back", he said.. shortly before agreeing to the first haircut. Billions of Euros of German tax payer money evaporated.

Without the German government Finnish and Dutch ships would have transported away the Greek statues, gold, and whatever other valuable thing they could find. And if "European solidarity" depended on the Eastern Europeans the Greeks would have never gotten a cent.

The Greeks who are so fond of the Euro should be endlessly thankful to the German political class (not the people - they never supported this bail-out).

I think this is also the primary reason why Schäuble does not want another haircut. His original lie would become even more severe and the German electorate would become even angrier.
Bottomline, there is no sense in driving on the left today, but it did hundreds of years ago. Driving on the left (on those countries who do) has simply stuck out of habit, customs, rules, or choice. The "there is a perfectly good reason" should read, "there was a perfectly good reason."
Oh where to start?

"Their study assessed risk for being assaulted and then shot, a compound outcome event whose second element (being shot) is not inevitable given the first (being assaulted). Persons who were assaulted but not shot are not studied. We do not know whether any association between firearm possession and their outcome measure applies to assault, to being shot given an assault, or both."[1]

Eh, it's hard to feel too empathetic toward the Greek state, but this entire situation is a tragedy for the Greek people, and the Euro-elite are just as guilty as the Greek state for the status quo.

It was always known that the Greek state was not up to par for the euro. They only got in because of a lot of shady dealings and extensive help from Goldman Sachs to mask the reality of their situation. The Euro-elite knew this at the time, but were willing to overlook it because of an idealistic commitment to a pan-European ideology.

Yes, a can was obviously being kicked down the road, but the seed of an incipient crisis was a pro: when things got terrible enough, it'd allow for the fiscalization of Europe, which would be difficult to do absent a crisis but was a pre-requisite for a real United States of Europe, the end goal where national governments would all be subsumed by the rule of a cosmopolitan elite centered on Brussels.

So money poured into Greece, because its bonds offered a higher interest rate than other bonds, and everyone figured, there's no way the Eurozone would allow Greece to default. And, for a long time, Europe tried its hardest to prevent a default, but never could build the political will that the radical transformation a permanent solution to the Euro-periphery issue would need. Note, though, that the primary benefactors of the bailouts and transfers were the holders of the toxic debt, debt that had always obviously been bad debt, and not Greek school teachers or pensioners, who bore the real pain of the reforms. German banks ended up a lot happier from the packages than anyone in Greece, and funneling the bailout funds for them through Greece was a kind of political money laundering.

Obviously Greece has a messed up political culture, and even now it still needs more reforms. But it takes two to tango, and the European elite was plenty happy to dance with the corruption and malignancy of the Greek state when it suited their interests. At this point Greece needs to do what's best for the Greek people (though what that is is the big open question, and it's clear that this is a quest for the least of a couple different evils) and screw the interests of outsiders.

HackerNews isn't a current affairs site, or at least not only one. Interesting articles, whatever the age, are totally valid.
Given how insane past decisions of Schäuble have been* Yanis' assessment of him makes a lot of sense. His politics have always swayed between hilarious ignorance, impotent aggression and seemingly crippling senility. Treating the "teaching" of other EU members in a war-like fashion would fit the scheme.

* For one he wanted to use a hypthetical threat german harbors by terrorists who would drive ships with bombs into them to force the german government into creating legislation to let the german army operate with live weapons inside german borders; as well as let them shoot down passenger planes within german borders.

* Secondly he wanted to create a "federal trojan", a virus he insisted would be capable of infiltrating EVERY computer. Ever. And he wanted its use to be fully legal.
> They have the unemployment rate they have thanks to the unsustainable - something even the IMF admits - austerity measures.

It also doesn't help that there has been no innovation or large industries creating jobs in the first place. Blame austerity all they want but EU is not responsible for job creation or the livelihood of individual countries, I think that's up to the leaders of each country, and being competent helps.

> South Korea was never subject to the kind of ludicrous austerity demands that Greece got, had their own currency and so were able to improve their export competitiveness much more easily, as well as was able to - and aggressively did - restructure many of the banks and businesses that dragged their economy down because they were not detail-controlled to nearly the extend Greece has been.

You are downplaying the fact that there are other countries that were in South Korea's position never really recovered. It's not something that can be done easily, of course in hindsight it's always obvious. However, the fundamental problem is that there simply is no major global player industry in Greece to start, of course it's going to have a harder time getting back up. By no means was South Korea given an easier time, the debt payments were just as harsh if not worse. Jobs were destroyed, society changed but in the end they were able to pull themselves out by actually focusing on getting back on their feet.

> Greece is not allowed by the Troika to choose how to reform their economy, so this option is not on the table for Greece unless it exits the Euro.

So you are telling me Greece is not allowed to save itself? This is ludicrous. This is akin to saying I'm homeless because I'm not suppose to help myself. I don't blame the Greek people however, they just don't know of any other option other than the one that has been prescribed to them for close to a century.

>
Because the alternative is they get nothing? Debt always comes with risk. The interest rate is meant to price that in. If you can't deal with the risk of a restructuring, don't lend money. Except the lenders in this case learned a different lesson: your risks get socialised by the tax payers, and your government will then act like mobsters to try to recover the money, instead of letting the banks that took the risk also take the losses.
Why should Greece put up with the kind of attitude Germany has shown? Why should Europe?

Why shouldn't Germany feel bitter about having to keep Greece on lifeline out of their own pockets? I mean you make it sound like Germany has had it easier but from the rubbles of Allied bombing, as it emerged as an economic powerhouse and leaders of EU. When a tenant continues to be delinquent on rent, they get kicked out. Of course they blame the land lords but does it improve their situation? Does it win them a ticket back in?

The article you cite discusses intimate partner violence and seems to suggest that abusive households which have a gun present may result in the gun being used against the woman. If you read my comment, I was discussing attacks by strangers.

Here is an article, for example, that suggests violent resistance (ideally with a gun) is the best way to avoid property loss and injury when attacked. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1745-9125.2004....

Are you seriously asserting that a small female under attack by a large male is better off unarmed?
'guys' is gender neutral in the US. 'boffins' is not used at all in the US, and sounds vaguely offensive, even if its meaning is not.
The banks are going to run out of money within days without emergency funds from EU. Who would they have to beg next to secure those funds if not EU? I'm genuinely curious. Print more money to pay for all the debt? How is that going to work out?
My opinions is that since Greece chased out the auditors, its Greece that rejected the federation. If you are asking for money, but refuse oversight, why would anyone go along?

Nope, the Reddit admins just haven't closed those subreddits yet. But they will. They've closed the child porn subreddits, they've closed the revenge porn subreddits, they've closed the hate groups that bleed out into the larger internet. r/coontown will be closed, too. It hasn't yet, which is a shame, but if you read into that fact that the reddit admins approve of it, then be prepared to be disappointed in a few months when it gets closed, too.
> There's no good guys and bad guys in this. You must understand that unless a loan is issued with a zero or negative interest rate, it will always have a net negative impact on your balance. Where else does the money to repay the interest come from?

Why the hell would anyone give out loans in first place if they are going to get zero to negative interest rates? Even Islamic banking takes equity or other ways of making sure that they are rewarded for lending money.

I'm just trying to see it from your view but you simply demonize EU and Banks because it gives the borrower a hard time without considering that it's also the lender's money and opportunity cost at stake here. It's not very convincing.
In a legal context, Stephen Breyer makes a similar argument about the decisionmaking process of self-professed “originalists” and “textualists” on the Supreme Court.

Namely, that they make their decision based on their own preferences and then later come up with a rationalization, claiming that the decision was based on a strict principled interpretation. The rationalization then provides a convenient excuse, letting judges disclaim responsibility for their decisions or their effects, hide their true reasons, and deflect criticism.

Motorola had J2ME-based programmable phones around the year 2000. I believe that was the first smartphone in the US. Back in the day, I developed a few apps and tried to release them for free. I was asked a few grand for the apps to be "certified" for release. The nerve! I moved onto other things in life but it was interesting how it played out and here we are today.

Great analysis, thanks! My motivation would be FU money, and I would be approaching them. I do have a comfortable, mostly stable position at the moment, and obligations, so there is indeed a large amount of risk for me. It's because of the 'mostly' that I'm considering this course of action. Sales are off at the current company as well, also due to a rewrite that has faltered.

>It seems to make code less portable

Than what? Than a freshly designed C-like language? Yes. But ISO C wasn't an effort to invent a new language. It was an effort to standardize existing practice, and provide a platform for improving C. One of the core goals of ISO C is to maintain every last bit of backward compatibility possible, which is why integer widths are not precisely specified: had they been, multiple vendors' implementations and the code that was written for them would have broken.

But to your main point, I agree: explicitly sized integer types are almost always what you should use. For example, don't store a pointer in an unsigned long (and certainly not a signed long); store it in a uintptr_t, or hell, just store it as a pointer. In fact, the fundamental types like int, long, etc. are effectively just shorthand for int_fast16_t, int_fast32_t, etc., but without the mnemonic value.
Don't know why people are downvoting this. It's racist. Period. End of discussion.
You're right, there are definitely major double standards with leaking of sensitive data. It's absurd that Petraeus wasn't charged with a felony (my understanding is many people in the DoJ wanted him to receive much harsher charges). Clapper should be charged with perjury as well.

The Plame case is a bit different, because the person who originally leaked the name was not actually aware she was covert.
Overly concise Matlab version. If you get Dan Ellis' ispecgram [1] you can do something like:

[x, sr] = wavread('rick.wav');
x_mono = mean(x,2);
X = specgram(x_mono, nfft, sr);
Y = X >= imdilate(X, ones(mask_size), 'same');
y = ispecgram(Y, nfft, sr);
% wavwrite(y, sr, 'roll.wav');

params: nfft, masksize (tuple)
