He is undoubtedly sincere.

I'm really sick of the people who come onto this forum (not talking about you, look elsewhere in these threads) and castigate the Greeks for being deadbeats. If they keep repeating this narrative when people have pointed out again and again that the €zone has structural flaws then there is no point in reasoning any more with them and you have to ignore them because they only hear the little voices in their heads.

You can't lay it out much clearer than Yanis Varoufakis does here -- "The euro is a hybrid of a fixed exchange-rate regime, like the 1980s ERM, or the 1930s gold standard, and a state currency. The former relies on the fear of expulsion to hold together, while state money involves mechanisms for recycling surpluses between member states (for instance, a federal budget, common bonds). The eurozone falls between these stools – it is more than an exchange-rate regime and less than a state."

When you get an unequal club, guess what! someone is going to be the weakest link. It is _inevitable_. If it wasn't Greece, it would have been someone else. Ok, you could make the argument that Greece was particularly lax in how it handled its own finances as part of the club but that (1) does not mean they should be punished with nearly a decade of unremitting poverty (2) not all the Greeks did this so it is _collective_ punishment (3) the €zone needs structural[§] adjustment and (4) we shouldn't keep socialising private debt, there _should_ be some risk to merit the interest charged.

We really need to start listening to what the Greeks are telling us. If the €zone starts unravelling things could get very nasty very quickly. I'm not joking.

[§] Yanis Varoufakis even touches on this, again explicitly -- "Europe did not know how to respond to the financial crisis. Should it prepare for an expulsion (Grexit) or a federation?"

> The most effective measure against smoking is taxation.

That is certainly one of the levers used in Australia. It has also promoted a thriving black market for cigarettes. There’s a balancing act there.[4]

Other measures such as plain packaging, graphic warnings on packaging and banning in many public places are also in use here.

A while ago I listened to a Freakonomics podcast[1] about how to make people quit smoking. There were two related points that stuck with me.

1. Nicotine can have a lot of positive benefits. As one of their experts stated, “Good drug, bad delivery system.” [2]

2. One of those benefits is a possible anti-depressant effect. So smoking may inadvertently be treating a person’s undiagnosed mental health issue[3], an additional difficulty when trying to quit smoking.

This second point has made me a little more compassionate towards smokers, and to the difficulty of quitting. (As least in theory, still get annoyed when I can smell cigarette smoke on myself after a trip down to the shops because of some smoker on the sidewalk.)

[1] http://freakonomics.com/2014/04/03/how-to-make-people-quit-s...

[2] I don’t think smoking, and trying to quit smoking, it just about the nicotine. That’s just one aspect of the issue.

[3] NOT advocating this as an excuse to continue smoking. There are better treatments.

Years ago, I was sitting at a coed table of 7 th grade students. This girl I liked was two seats to my left. The afternoon was hot, my face was oily, and my acne was literally pulsating. My hair was puffy from the humidity, and from working up a sweat playing Basketball at lunch. It was one of those days--I just wanted to go home, and hide. Then this student picked up his history book and pointed to a picture of a 14th century bloated dictator, whom even in the portrait looked terrible. He exclaimed, "Doesn't this look like ____?". Everyone got a good laugh. I waited until the bell rung, and walked home. I realized that day, the world has some mean people in it. (I remember asking my mom about my pimply skin. She told me to put 4000IU's 2x/daily of oily vitamin E on it, but pat the skin with bleach before rubbing the vitamin E in. I did this beauty regimen for a few weeks, and I literally clogged up every pore on my face. This was way before the Internet. She really thought it would work. I thought it would work too?)

Agreed, they still need debt restructuring. Also the €zone framework needs simultaneous reconstructing, to route surpluses to places not doing so well. But that would be the beginnings of a real federal EU and European countries are too nationalistic for that which is a shame because Europe is going to fade into relative obscurity economically unless we can make this transition. Though perhaps this crisis presents the opportunity to kick-start that process, but it's a long shot, I'm pessimistic even though I do not want to be.

I feel sad. My first cell phone was Motorolla Razr. It was great apart from the crappy J2ME OS but it was sturdy, long battery, could only use it to answer phones and type text messages.

I feel lucky to have bought this motorola moto g smart phone. It was way more value for the money it offered at. Everything works, much better than my old Galaxy Nexus.

It's kind unfair and harsh that the industry's early innovators could fall so quickly, as such is the case for Nokia.

I think that in this constantly cannabalizing industry, the lowest cost producer selling at cheapest prices will always end up driving incumbents out. Samsung is feeling the heat from Chinese companies because it failed to rebrand itself as an exclusive luxury product like Apple. Unfortunately the Android brand doesn't carry that brand premium, despite the fact that Galaxy phones are excellent in quality. But for Samsung, they are so big that even if they lost this smartphone market, they could continue to feed Korea from their numerous other industries. For Nokia and Motorola, they did not have the same luxury.
While I don't agree that reddit should be judged by the most terrible content on this site, much more could be done to dissuade people from inhabiting its darker areas.

How about disabling custom CSS/images and comment gilding on a per-sub basis? Presumably Reddit will need to flag offensive subs anyway (if they don't already) so that future advertisers' content isn't associated directly with them.

The short answer is that systems grow at the edges from a given starting position.

Existing package systems like Maven, Rubygems, NPM etc basically evolved to wire together a monolith at build time.

Placement systems like Kubernetes, Mesos and (I have a dog in this fight) Diego/Lattice solve a different problem -- efficiently locating and wiring up distributed systems composed of standalone services at runtime.

If you squint and turn your head sideways, the problem that they solve rhymes. You don't see it that way yet because you assume that there is a monolith-style solution to the problem of assembling a distributed system at build time.

There are people trying, but it's not really going to work as well. Distributed systems are simply harder to build and compose than monoliths.

The only reason you're seeing this now is because PaaSes make it trivial to stage a single app or API server, so suddenly it has become attractive to break the monolith apart. Until now, running a fleet of microservices was basically too hard for 90% of development shops.

Shadow DOM does sound pretty cool, I wish its design allowed it to fit in better with existing DOM.

I think react components give you pretty good isolation. You don't spend any time querying by selector or innerHtml, you just update your model, it re-renders the component tree, and then a diff of the DOM yields the mutations it will do on your behalf. Event binding is similarly abstracted. It's a different paradigm than what you're describing, and I think it works well for a lot more use cases than just "componentize the DOM".

I'd love to be able to combine shadow DOM and react somehow (assuming wide browser support emerges). I bet a lot of performance optimizations could be derived in the browser from native Shadow DOM.
>We really need to start listening to what the Greeks are telling us. If the €zone starts unravelling things could get very nasty very quickly. I'm not joking.

These were all concerns brought up well before the Euro was even instituted, much less expanded to semi-broke nations like Greece. The EU doesn't seem particularly interested in admitting that there are massive differences culturally and fiscally between the countries and that these differences mean that a unified currency with no monetary flexibility is doomed to fail.

EUR crushing USD early in its lifecycle after naysayers shouted down EUR didn't help things.
I'm pro-EU as well, but this is getting ridiculous. There's no way the country will grow like this, all that's happening is that businesses are closing, and obviously nobody wants to start new ones in this uncertainty.

The EU seems bent on wringing every last penny from the lower income tiers, which hasn't worked for the past six years, and is unlikely to start working now. The average Greek is, at this point, desperate enough to just want to leave the EU and deal with the consequences rather than watch the country die and/or get sold off over decades.

I agree with Linus Torvalds about Moore's law:

But it's _still_ just the beginning of the "S curve". Anybody who thinks any different is just deluding themselves. There are no unending exponentials."

They have the unemployment rate they have thanks to the unsustainable - something even the IMF admits - austerity measures.

> When South Korea defaulted, the entire country came together to pay off the debt.

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.

> Businesses and large conglomerates were not bailed out but allowed to fail so that they pick up their shit.

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.

> Why should Germany put up with this kind of attitude?

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?
OpenStack and Kubernetes solve different problems. OpenStack is aimed at IaaS, a la AWS without the more recent additions.

Kubernetes is the central component for a PaaS, which is why OpenShift 3 is built on top of it.
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?

This is especially true with central banks, where every € you receive comes with debt attached. How do you repay the interest on those debts? You have to borrow more €'s from the central bank, which also come with more debt attached. And so your debt burden increases exponentially until you're crippled by interest repayments. It is mathematically impossible to repay debt in these circumstances.

It takes two parties to get into a mess like this. As the old saying goes, "if you owe the bank $50 thousand, you're in trouble. If you owe the bank $50 billion, you're in it together".
>Lets not forget the Goldman Sachs helped Greece to cook the books to get into the Eurozone in the first place.

Two possibilities exist: The EU knew what they were getting into and they deserve this mess, or they didn't know what they were getting into and they aren't qualified to run a multinational currency with zero flexibility.

When these concerns were brought up initially I didn't heed them. I was blinded by the warm-fuzzies and the spirit of solidarity, I'll admit it! This is an issue I've had to totally change my thinking about. The UK were really smart on this one, as were the Danes and the Swedes. It's not too late to make things better but it's a huge ship to turn around and these things have a way of systemically operating according to their own logic eventually and resisting control. The only saving grace of the EUR is that other places in the world have their own special problems but that's no consolation and only a pig (sorry pigs!) would think like that.

Since I'm from that part of the world (visiting Greece, Balkans and Germany regularly), I will give some feedback here...

We have saying here "owns money as Greece" - and that sayings was coined in 19th century. In 1822 Greece declared independece from Ottoman Empire and by 1880 Greece owned 5.243.428 marks to... guess? Germany.

From point of Greece, it is much better for them that Greece leaves Eurozone. They already occurred 80% of pain so there is not so much to lose. With Drachmas they will have some inflation and inflation will fix entitlement problem. And tourism will become very very competitive. And they can fix tax evasion problem on their own.

From point of France - that will be disaster: the euro an ECB is designed for economies and societies similar to Germany and German's influence in Europe will raise.

This crisis is pure politics now.

Macedonians have joke that Greece should be renamed: "the former European country Greece".
There is no "hand that was feeding them". If it was such a bad deal then you would imagine creditors would stop lending at some point.

The most likely thing that would have happened is that at some point Greece would have entered a financial crisis, devalued its currency, and gone off as usual. As it's happened countless times in other places.
>without starving the lower-income citizens to death

do you seriously believe Greece is capable of that if they are to go on their own path? What industry is there to speak of in Greece? What goods or resources are they willing to trade or offer to the rest of the world?

And why do you feel the need to make this into a political argument and not of economics? Of course you can pay back the debt without starving it's own people if they could, but they can't. There's nothing that I can see or EU believes that Greece could pull itself out of debt and they are in for some deep amount of money. Did you really expect EU to give them another get out of jail card like they have all this time?

I'm just an observer, I don't work for EU.
