Yes. That is weird. The noise, the smell, the need for gears. Electric is so much better.

Taking on debt to pay for billion dollar websites (pick a number, anything north of low 10^6 is obscene), stupid wars, nation building and, to lump it all together, government waste, is not just wrong, it's dumb and irresponsible. Plu

Lovely. My first question as a noob-not-even-osx-developer-yet is why not Swift? (my impression is that it is a quite recent project).

I am not sure what "country income situation" you are talking about. "The Greek budget showed a primary surplus of 1.506 billion euros in the January-May period this year" http://greece.greekreporter.com/

It depends on what you count as JVM land, I'd say. If you live in JVM land and value modern development you are probably already on Groovy, Gradle and Grails - where Grails imo. is ahead of the MVC4/5/6 stack...

I am sorry that you think it is ridiculous. However, it is the only reasonable way to think about bonds. They are not safer than a risk of default, and the spread between bonds expresses exactly this (relatively). If bankers buy at a high p

Because democratically, the foreign debt-relation makes the whole difference. If all of the greek debt had been domestic, then a restructuring would have been a purely domestic matter - solvable by a democratic election. What is ugly is whe

Banks have (eagerly) bought bonds for 100 EUR from Country A (that considering the risk inherent in the high public levels of debt of country, clearly were not worth more than 30-40 EUR). Now there is a crisis, and the unsustainability of t

No - as a citizen I'm saying. Don't let bankers buy risky papers to a degree that they cannot cover their own losses. The german and french bankers should not have bought greek government bonds at the prices they did considering t

Hmm, you do realise that when you say "Greece borrows 100 EUR from a bank ... " you actually mean, "bankers bid competitively for greek government bonds - and were so eager to buy them that the spreads to german bonds were ri

There are many layers here, as I see it sitting in a northern european non-eurozone country: Moving bankers bad investments onto public books is a monumentally poor decision for everyone, and the effects of the decision should be undone.

Nope. I mean Our Eurozone growth model, [...] relied heavily on private, bank-driven, vendor-financing for the net exports of the surplus nations. [...]. The end result was a transfer of potential losses from the banks’ books onto Europe’s

They took them on the express condition that the vast majority was used to pay the bankers. So the former greek government was the willing participant in moving bankers losses onto public books. But that makes it no less the bankers losses

I try to always write minutes from meetings. Sometimes I also send them out. Other times I just store them somewhere that has 3rd party timestamps (dropbox or googledocs).
