I assume that Varoufakis gambled that the EU/Troika would never allow a Greek default and ultimately succumb to Greece's demands. However a Greek default (at least on parts of its debt) has been very likely for quite some time now

I'm not sure I understood you correctly. Are you saying it's a common thing for all "ISPs" in the US to block outgoing traffic on port 25 (and allow incoming traffic for Outlook et al.)? Or do you simply mean that most e

I am also very concerned about the implications of ISDS for democracies. However I would not argue that TTIP should be abolished entirely because of it. Studies expect an annual increase in GDP growth of about half a percent - which doesn&#

I see a fundamental problem with shifting the responsibility for uncertain profits (due to changes in laws) from corporate entities to national entities. I believe that the uncertainties from investing in a certain country (ie. investing in

Exactly. How can you do an IPO without any earnings? NYSE requires at least $10 mil over 3 years before they even list a company - I'm assuming other exchanges are similar. And if they don't list it on a major exchange, I doubt th

What I think should be even more concerning for any future social media startups is that most users will be mobile users. And mobile users already have a social graph that they can take anywhere they want: Their address book. Thanks to it a

How would you monetize an interest graph? This seems much more difficult to me than simply forcing all users on your proprietary clients and websites and deliver ads there. It took facebook years to deliver a solid mobile experience with th

I wouldn't be so quick with your judgement on freeways though. Autonomously driving cars might alleviate a lot of the traffic problems we currently encounter.

> Can you explain why millions of customized variations are required? For the same reason that car manufacturers offer different models for the same product (personal transportation): like the A, C, E, S class (in the case of Mercedes)

I would argue that the main challenge is actually manufacturing. Building one or a hundred great cars is easy. Building hundreds of thousands great cars with millions of customized variations (like BMW, Audi, etc do.) is the difficult part.

This is one of the problems I've had back in my teens when I was reading fiction. Especially authors of fantasy or science fiction novels seemed to be very keen to describe their worlds in the most intricate details possible. And as a

I agree that deciding what's superfluous fluff and what's not is entirely subjective and that it should be an artist's freedom to decide how he expresses himself. However King's advice was written in the context of how t

The biggest nag I have with tail is that it stops tracking a file once it gets moved and a new one is created in its place (through log rotation).

If you add some additional information on the status of the plane (engines, electronics, etc) in addition to the telemetry you could infer much more on the current situation aboard the plane. In this case the simple reversal of the initiati

Do you know google scholar? That's basically what it's for. Might as well be added to the list of advices: searching for the important papers with google scholar or CiteSeerX.
