The British make very convenient scapegoats and were responsible for a great deal of the Financial Crisis, but not the collapse of the Lehmans deal http://www.reuters.com/article/barclays-lehman-idUSLDE62B258... You ca

Don't rule out the very real possibility that this is about heading off the unprecedented police investigation that could lead to twenty Conservative MPs (larger than their working majority) being sent to prison. https://www

openly blocking the call for an early election would be really interesting, but I wonder if it would actually lead to either Corbyn or May resigning. There are straight forward routes through for both of them. May :- repeal the fixed term p

No thanks. It was your austerity cuts that created the favourable climate for Brexit in the first place.

Unfortunately, admitting that you are right would require accepting that the entire neo-liberal edifice of free market fundamentalism ("the free market can solve every problem") is wrong. We are societally unable to do that curren

There's some equally off-putting gimmickry in the podcast series too. I think they're trying to compensate for the lack of on the record interviews. Should have just hired Adam Curtis...

Doctors want you to be sick? - no. HMOs? - maybe. Lawyers want you in trouble with the law? - no. Prison Corporations? - definitely. People are generally good, corporations are evil by design.

You're right. The biggest thing that DI frameworks have historically done for me is make mock injection easier. There are other benefits, however. - Manual wiring generally has quite a lot of boiler plate (even in Scala, especially if

Eventually you learn not to need mocks. It's a long road though. An important first step is making your dependencies very very simple functions that are trivial to define on the fly.

Scala collections are recognised as being unnecessarily complex and are (finally) getting some love this year. http://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2017/02/28/collections-rework...

The other peerless Miyazaki's are Princess Mononoke (the only other work with as much depth as Spirited Away) and My Neighbour Totoro (avowedly a children's film). Nearly all the others are also very very good. And if that's

The only way this makes "sense" is if you already have the candidate (or pool of H1-B candidates) you want in mind, but have to prove you opened up the position to the general public first.

We still do a nice line in money laundering for African dictators and selling 11tn paperweights to the Saudis if you ever want to return.

They don't care what you say or do. They've got a nearly monopoly share on supermarket and newsagent shelves.

Thanks for pointing that out. It's clearly been very heavily politicised.

It might be because richer people can take more time out of their daily routine to complain, but I'm not actually sure it is fair to say that the situation in South Africa is stable. I've read about lots of lynchings, forced depor

It appears not to be fair to group Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait with the other states you have listed. while Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt have taken in around 5 million refugees, and boatloads of the destitute are making their w
