If you extend your search to Burnaby/New West, you can easily find 1 bedrooms for $700-1000 that are close to a frequent bus route (e.g. 106, 123). You're not paying a premium to live close to Skytrain, but commuting to downtown doesn't take an hour by transit either.

There's actually not a lot of data on Vancouver dev salaries out there. I've heard ranges from $50K to 70K depending on the source.

I don't have a problem with Twitter "arbitrarily censor[ing] people with the wrong opinions." Its their platform and they don't have to give a voice to everyone who has one, they can do whatever they please and promote any agenda they want. That is their choice. If you don't like Twitter's rules you're free to start your own site, or write a book. Nobody is entitled to use someone else's site any way they wish.

This is called secure, multi-party computation. Secure computation, which can be just one party, would take a lot longer to explain. It's also a prerequisite for secure, multi-party computation as attacks on the host can bypass the multi-party protocol. That's why you'll always see me mock those that think such schemes will let us ignore INFOSEC problems. They're fun to read, though.

Anyone knows a good desktop app to organize photo like Picasa that works for Windows/Linux/OSX?

Specifically there are a few things I like from Picasa:

1. Import files to folder based on picture dates

e.g.: c:\pictures\2016-02-12\P0221314.jpg

2. Import videos from mobile devices and display in the right orientation

for example: I have mobile devices and I take movies in different orientation: vertical or horizontal, while the actual file's metadata is left unchanged, Picasa knows the _right_ orientation and will adjust the playback accordingly.

3. Handles upload from different devices

I have a Lumix GF1 and iPod. Importing pictures to Picasa is super easy without any 3rd-party integration/interruption (e.g.: doesn't have to copy from device to a temporary folder first but instead import directly from the device to the dated folder).
And those who both did and didn't have children are paying for the previous generation. The only ones to have unearned social security are the original recipients and it is too late to do much of anything about that.

Picasa is hardly useless, and fills a spot I can't think of a direct equivalent I can use to replace it.

Google talk was perfect, light weight and pleasingly free of the cruft and crap that alternatives like skype insist on loading themselves with. Now replaced by hangouts which has an appalling visual design, and has no desktop app (No, I don't always have my browser open, or want to).

Google Reader... etc.

The list is getting horribly long for killed things that are neither useless, or little used. Oh, and it seems like a little while before they run out of money. I imagine they could keep Picasa and talk supported and hosted until the heat death of the universe, and still have a few pennies in the bank.
my understanding is that google's first foray into health was related specifically to digital health records. their current endeavors are much more broad.

I have similar high 40's bpm and had a similar experience with my doctor sending me for all manner of tests. All okay. He claimed, and the article seems to back him up, that unless I was a marathoner (I'm not) my heart rate should not be that low. I do high intensity (for me) exercise 3-4 times a week at about an hour a crack. There may be congenital component as both my brothers have low resting pulse and neither is as active as I.

I use the FitBit Charge HR after moving over from the version 1 Microsoft Band which had corroded under the onslaught of my profuse sweating after 10 months use. I found the Charge HR MUCH more accurate than the Microsoft Band for heart rate. Neither as accurate as the Azumio Heart Rate android app, but the Charge HR good enough for my own workout tracking.
Ahhhhh. That's very helpful. Will prevent unnecessary downloads. Thank you. :)
This is almost certainly one of the issues with Bay area real estate as well. Yes, especially of late it's been driven up a lot by tech.

Apple Watch is pretty great at measuring heart rate in my experience. Part of the difference may be the circumstances in which the measurement is taken—in the clinic, "resting heart rate" is typically measured when the patient is sitting, in a controlled setting.

For an app like Cardiogram, your heart rate is being measured throughout your day, "in the wild," every 10 minutes. We do filter out any measurements taken while you were moving (walking, during a workout) and for a few minutes after the movement stops.

But, of course, your heart rate might be higher in real life than it is at the doctor's office. Maybe you've just had coffee. Or you're stressed out driving in traffic. For example, here's mine in bay area traffic: https://twitter.com/bballinger/status/695704441626886145

In Cardiogram itself, we show the user their whole distribution of resting heart rates. What's reported in the blog post is the median of all those measurements.

By the way, I don't think it's known what the "right" answer is here. We do know stress can trigger a heart attack, and coffee can trigger arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation. So perhaps there's a lot of information lurking in the shape of your personal distribution of heart rates. But before now, nobody has really had the data to answer these types of questions.
This is pretty low even by Hacker News standards.

Woah, big misunderstanding here: I was pointing out that other people believed that -- not that that's what I believe.

This is a very good read and it lead me to think about this somewhat differently.

The whistleblower is making the case that if Vanguard had kept all the profits then there would have been a $34B tax bill. But that's an assumption. It's far more likely that Vanguard would have paid out the extra money as a dividend so that there was no profit. Or they figure out some way to pay it out as extra shares in the investments, perhaps there is some way to make it be like unrealized gains so that there is no tax event until you take it out.

Can anyone who has some background shoot holes in the thoughts above?

To me this case looks shaky but I'm not a lawyer, tax guy, or even much of an investor (I do have money at Vanguard for whatever that is worth).

I get where you're coming from, but the entire tarball contains one source code file and it's a paltry 89 lines in 1317 bytes. Heck, the man page is a whole 70 bytes bigger than the source code. This is very, very different from, say, Django.

I'm not a photo power user like you are by any means, but I've been using darktable[1] quite a bit lately and I've gotten to where I like it. Here's the blurb from their front page:

I guess you could read it like that. In my view, those are "big-tent issues" who can easily switch allegiance, as they did in 2010 (when a lot of votes moved to the Lib Dems on this or that narrow policy position). The main left-right discriminant for me remains the approach to structural economic issues, and on those the Graun clearly decided to give up in the Blair years. But I see your point.
Saudi Arabia Is Winning Its War Against the U.S. Oil Industry
Not necessarily. I've been seeing several ex-rental units which have recently been passed down as part of an estate.

Inheriting a house doesn't result in a valuation event, and the seller has nothing encouraging them to sell. So, the house sits there empty - They're only paying $100/month in taxes, which is coffee money.

The combination of no capital gains on inheritance, no estate taxes and ancient property valuations creates a multi-generational issue where houses are kept locked up.
I haven't looked at the details as I had not much illusions about it anyway. I was a shareholder before the split and I did not bother selling after it. Maybe I should, and as I said that's sad.

I think Dropbox ticks all 4 requirements.

That is what I use. Their ios & android has automatically uploaded my camera photos for years.

I move some into specific folders to share with family via their photo album (gallery) link feature.

As its dropbox, it is all just files and synced to my laptops all the time as well.

The only issue is if you like their gallery feature. I do, some may not. They recently closed their Carousel alternative.

While you are here, I have a question. As far as I can tell neither your service nor Github nor Bitbucket have a way for a user to organize their repositories other than a list.

This gets annoying if one has many unrelated projects.

For instance, I have some chess projects, some math projects, some Warhammer Online projects, and so on. With the linear list approach if I want some semblance of order I need to resort to a kludge like prefixing the names with chess- and math- and WAR- and so on and using sort-by-name.

It would be a lot easier to deal with if I could have a chess folder and math folder and WAR folder and put the appropriate projects there. Even better would be multiple levels of folders, and allowing a project to be in more than one folder at a time.

In the project information, there is a field to enter a list of tags. I tried using that, with the idea that someone who wanted to see all my chess projects, say, could look for all projects I tagged "chess".

Two problems: (1) I could not figure out what these tags actually do other than show up on the project settings page, and (2) I could not find any help on them in the Gitlab documentation because searching for "tags" brings up a bazillion things about Git tags. Maybe these should be called "labels" instead of "tags"?

I see that there is a Groups feature, and I have not yet had a chance to delve into that to see if it can substitute for folders.
The library is still more sparse than other languages, but for implementing methods on your own there is no better alternative. Also for using existing libraries and functions, I found pycall to be very fast and easy to use.

I also used rcall a little and while not as nice as pycall was still simple to use and allowed access to any functionality I was interested in. I've heard good things about ccall/Cxx but haven't had a chance to use them yet.

I know people who love it. But it's expensive and it's a long way from anywhere. You either live in a pretty soulless city (Honolulu) or in effectively a beach community of some sort that's often dominated by tourism.

I appreciate why some people are attracted to it but I could easily see it getting old quickly even if living in a condo near a beautiful beach and ocean initially seemed like the perfect life. (OTOH, it's sure better than Florida IMO.)
Operating systems usually only provide memory safety between processes. The operating system doesn't protect a C program from overflowing its own buffers or making incorrect writes to the heap for example. OCaml's memory safety means many of those types of bugs aren't possible.
what open source options have you tried? I tried Lightroom, but it repeatedly barged and corrupted it's library while importing on my rather old MacBook.

I never was a fan of Picasa because it always felt and looked janky on a Mac. (Specifically, no drag-n-drop between apps.) I only started using it after iPhoto collapsed under its own weight. I thought about switching back to Apple Photos, but all that white space and mobile design feels weird on a screen with a 2 digit diagonal size. Google Photos is a nonstarter because I'm not comfortable all my photos to Googke and then paying to access them.

Why is photo management such a hard thing?
> Not only does fear of lawsuits prevent companies from disclosing no-hire reasons, it prevents them from even recording those reasons internally.

I don't get this mentality.

A) I seem to be unaware of the rash of lawsuits befalling companies that provide feedback. I admit I just may be ignorant of them.

B) It seems that not recording reasons actually makes the company more vulnerable. When you combine a "preponderance of evidence" legal standard with "Lies, damn lies, and statistics" it seems like it would be easy for a litigious candidate and a good lawyer to force a settlement or get a favorable jury ruling if the company cannot present hard evidence that said candidate was not hired because of X, Y, and Z non-protected reasons. In fact, that is the reason given in discussions about why it is so hard to fire people for going though the PIP process instead of just cutting them loose.

Man this is annoying. I've used Picasa desktop for probably 10 years now. It's not perfect but for keeping my family photos organized and doing quick edits before printing them or uploading them to our family blog it's great. That Google would suggest the Photos desktop uploader is an adequate substitute is a joke.

FWIW I also use Lightroom for more advanced editing but for regular people LR is overkill and complex.

I'd be perfectly willing to pay for an easy-to-use photo organizer but megacorps like Google & FB are killing off the market for paid software by using free software & services as a trojan horse to lure users to upload their data to the cloud where it can be mined for all its worth.
Tango Lays Off Another 20% of Its Workforce
First of all, yes, consumption is almost always preferable to "letting your money work for you". Contrary to what you seem to think, most people who have more wealth than they need for consumption, don't use that wealth to fund new ventures. Instead they mostly just own assets that appreciate in value and/or pay a dividend. They do not create new wealth to any significant degree. While it is true to some extent that having money in the bank can help create new wealth, it makes no difference if it's one person putting a million dollars or a thousand people each putting one thousand dollars in the bank. The result in either case is that the bank can lend out a million dollars to someone starting a new venture. I mention this because when one person spends (consumes goods) a thousand dollars say, that money goes out if her bank account and into someone else's. The bank's ability to lend out money is unaffected. Meanwhile, thanks to the power of capitalism, money that is spent flows towards what society in aggregate deems most valuable, ensuring that more effort is spent on creating more of that valuable thing. This is in a nutshell why it's preferable for all, poor and rich, to prevent rampant inequality.

Secondly, I do somewhat agree that we shouldn't disincentivize investment or saving up. I am not familiar with the US tax system, but in some countries you can defer paying taxes on what you put into a pension plan until the time when you collect your pension. If the interest you earn on your savings is more than the inflation, this is a win/win situation: You will earn interest on a larger amount, and society will collect tax on a larger amount in the end too. I could probably be convinced that it would be a good idea to make all investment and savings tax free provided that all dividends as well as any amount liquidated was taxed as income. Buy a house? Fine that's tax deductible. Sell a house? Get taxed on the entire amount as if it were income.
At HireArt (W12) we've been working on a feedback feature for awhile and are close to finally releasing it. We have a fairly rigorous screening process, and every candidate is assessed by a grader according to a rubric. Our thinking was that if we provide this assessment to employers, surely we could provide it to candidates, too.

When we spoke to a labor attorney about this awhile back, their first reaction was basically that we would be insane to do it, because of the legal liability.

We got comfortable with the idea of feedback because we think that we have a clear, documented process that stands up to scrutiny. However, I think for many employers, recruiting decisions ARE arbitrary and unfair. Honest feedback would merely expose the decisions for what they are - reliant on personal affinity with candidates, vague notions of "culture fit", and gut decisions. There's very little quality training for how to ask good questions, evaluate those responses, and render a hiring decision. If candidates could actually hear the hiring manager and recruiter's thoughts, they'd rightfully be pretty angry.

Critical mass is hugely important, but it can also be surprisingly fickle. I remember when MySpace hit the tipping point and it seemed like Friendster became a ghost town overnight. A few years later when Facebook opened up outside of colleges, MySpace turned into a dead zone.

It's possible for the same thing to happen with GitHub, though Facebook's continued entrenchment is also a signal that it may not.
