The Peter Gregory character on "Silicon Valley" is basically Paul Graham (Same initials is a clue). Is it not? So it's already got a pretty big shout out.
The key here is demand - with open door immigration from Europe, that demand is ever increasing. People are flocking to the UK, and want somewhere to live. As long as we have that massive population explosion, there's only one way for house prices to go.
If we want to solve the problem, and a whole host of other problems, perhaps we shouldn't have an open door immigration policy.
No one voted for the Maastricht treaty. It was steamrolled through shrouded in secrecy.
Some people? Some people want to convert into a federal USE? It's there in black and white. Crystal clear. "Ever closer union".
You can oppose it all you like, but the people behind the project won't care one bit. The end game is a united states of Europe, with a single army, single parliament, abolition of individual state parliaments etc etc
Then when people have forgotten they'll just rename it United states of Germany. You can understand why those who don't win from a United states of Europe (Everyone apart from Germany), would associate it with Nazis.
Quite good? The people creating laws are still unelected. The EU has shown time and time again, that if they can't get what they want via the democratic channels (Referendums, votes, etc), they'll just steamroll it through anyway.
The EU is controlled by Germany, and its aims are to unite Europe into a single state. There is one winner in the EU project - Germany.
Hopefully in our lifetimes it will all collapse as the USSR did, and we will once again have a bit more freedom.
The EU is certainly extremely undemocratic. We "elect" MEPs, who satisfy the illusion of democracy, but they can't actually do anything apart from rubber stamp the laws made by the unaccountable unelected dictators.
And the aims are clear - to unite Europe into one undemocratic state and remove individual countries and cultures.
And it appears to be completely controlled and driven by Germany.
I have looked at feminism. It's not about equality, and not something I think of as a good thing. It's about closing down mens clubs and opening up women only clubs. It's hypocritical at its core.
People who have never done any programming? Attending some course and then getting programming jobs? I don't think this is a great idea.
There is absolutely no barrier to entry here. Learn to code, at home, on your own, like everyone else does. Make an OS. Make games. Publish them. Make open source projects.
If you're not already doing all of the above, chances are you'll make a terrible programmer, and the industry will get more bad programmers - as if it needs more.
I'm not sure what college has to do with learning to code. If you're waiting until school/college to learn to code, you're probably not going to make a very good coder.
You don't beat sexism by creating a sexist organisation.
It's amazing how people think that there are all these barriers to programming for certain groups of people which must be overcome. There aren't. Sit down, grab a computer and a book, and learn to code. If you're good at it, you'll get a job, and people will respect you.
If you can't learn to code on your own, you probably don't have the mental skills necessary to be a good coder. (Critical thinking, drive, determination etc).
Russ Hanneman was basically Mark Cuban right?
