How can internet access be a right? We can have fair access as part of the social contract; we can pass an amendment to exempt it in some special way; we can all agree to use other taxes to support it -- but we can't declare it a right.

You have a natural right to communicate and perhaps a natural right to access a public system that others can access. But no one has an inherent right to tax someone, or to fund some service.
China has a punishing inheritance tax, really? China has no inheritance tax, it also lacks a property tax or even a capital gains tax. Libertarians would love it here if it weren't for the police state...

Why Chinese buy abroad: to park money outside of China, to participate in real estate markets leased screwed up than their own (say what you want about Vancouver, it isn't anywhere near as bad as Beijing Shanghai Shenzhen), and to have an exit plan when they fall out of favor or things go to hell in China.
It's an interesting status, kinda like game theory meeting system theory. Communication but only to a certain degree otherwise the organs die.
Doesn't need to be a bank. You go to a shopfront FX dealer in Vientiane or Tehran or St Petersburg and deposit or withdraw USD against local currency (or anything else that's liquid).

In the most basic trades, possession is settlement. Much of the third world has significant trade in USD, including countries that the US doesn't regard well. In Panama, the USD is a defacto national currency, a choice the crowd has arrived at due to convenience.

You can get an armoured van and deliver packs of physical notes.

You can use contracts to get more complicated arrangements, including where you have USD on paper but backed by an alternative currency. You can do balance sheet adjustments by contract. You can be a dutch firm ordering agricultural goods from Kenya, and do your leg of the transaction by delivering USD. The banks in the middle might exchange physical USD to make it happen, without any of them being regulated by the US at the time. But - probably - they'll just organise the deal in terms of USD using holdings of other currencies or commodities or contract-agreed offsets that are convenient to them.
5 Proven Fitness Tips to Lose Fat by Summer with NO Long Slow Cardio
My favorite latest CC bug: There's a node.js instance that CC installs that constantly pegs my CPU at 50%(100% core 1 of 2).

I can kill it and it keeps coming back, Freaking annoying, I'm almost to the point of just uninstalling CC from my laptop and leaving it only for my desktop.

No clue what it's doing there but it'll happily spin away for hours at 100% utilization.
I did a thorough economic analysis of littering and discovered that just dropping my crap on the street, at the beach or in the park was far less effort and time than carrying it to the nearest trash can.

A libertarian friend pointed out that if there was economic value to not littering then someone would already be paying to take my trash from my hand as I drop it.

So now I can litter with a clear conscience, as I've proved its better to do so.
50-100% sounds high for stock and bonus when you're on 200k+ but my main point was these companies are the exception, not the rule.

Since they added photos later it's pretty much impossible to clean up if you have several thousand photos that need to be removed or deleted. Even doing then kne at a time after a while of deleting them one at a time their httotebdpoints start throwing errors for me.

10 000 steps roughly equal to 7-7,5 km walked.

To stop the shrinking of important parts of brain you need about 5 km/day average in a week (you can do 35 km in Sunday, for example). BTW, 5 km/h is close to typical walking speed, not fast and not slow either.

So yes, you do not need 10K steps a day. Slightly above 7000 steps per day would suffice.

The actual intellectual goods is usually not on twitter, but in a forum or a blog post. I usually dont event follow these though leaders on twitter, because I dont want to spend time in this constant partial attention state, I want to be here and now at 100%, in this piece of code, project or post/book.

FWIW, Stanford both does recycling (usually 4 or 5 cans in Tresidder [0]) and post-consumer separates trash into recyclable materials.

Judging from the typical Tragedy of the Commons recyclable contamination disaster at places like Costco, perhaps relying on consumers to put things in the right place is a fool's errand... robotic with human automation at refuse processing points probably is a more efficient way to centralize and drive down the net cost of recycling with scale.

This is entirely undesirable. First of all, char16_t and char32_t are kinda useless as there's no standard interfaces using them, and there's no conversion functions to and from wchar_t.

Secondly, no, you're asking for a massive addition of 2 new versions for every interface that mentions wchar_t. That's a huge addition to standard libraries. That's error prone and bloats things up. Then additionally you're asking for a rewrite of all software using wchar_t. And only until everything is transitioned, which isn't going to happen, the standard libraries will be much larger.

The solution is rather to embrace wchar_t and fix it. All sensible and modern platforms, which is a premise of this article on modern POSIX functions, have a 32-bit wchar_t type. That's excellent. It's only Windows, which due to historical short-sightedness that have 16-bit wchar_t. But writing portable C for native Windows is a losing game, the winning move is not to play. (Do see midipix which is upcoming and will provide a new POSIX environment for Windows with musl and 32-bit wchar_t). In fact, 16-bit wchar_t violates the C standard. That moment you give up broken platforms with 16-bit wchar_t, wchar_t works as intended, and this is a non-problem. Embracing char16_t and char32_t is a worse problem and isn't solving anything.

I think that's a pretty good description of what's going on in the last decade of a lot of people's lives. There's a huge bias toward high risk invasive procedures that have a high probability of leaving the patient debilitated even when the expected lifespan increase is fairly modest. Our penchant for hope in difficult circumstances leads to a lot of unnecessary suffering. There is plenty in modern medical practice to consider 'barbaric'. Skepticism with regard to the current crop of medical utopists is warranted, because assuredly current barbaric medical practices were developed and implemented, overwhelmingly, with the best of intentions.

One potential explanation depending on your kernel version - traditional SYN cookies cannot encode TCP extensions, including window scaling, which will (nearly) always result in slower transfers. Newer kernels (The Googles aren't giving me a kernel version, unfortunately) use the TCP timestamp option in addition to the sequence to encode a limited number of TCP options, including WS.

Thank you for your detailed post and time you took to explain your process.

1) We only give 10 days for payment. We have also tried inserting a admin fee of $150every time invoices remain unpaid after 30 days. Clients are usually happy paying that extra 150 then paying the invoice on time.

The important thing is that they have never questioned or even shown disappointment/issues with a late payment fee.

2) Yes this is something a lot of people have suggested. I will be happy to give this a try.

3) Being a service business, we emphasize this when signing them up and also talk about invoices by building up a personal relationship. I am unsure that stopping work will work in our favour. However this sentiment is being echoed by many people here.

Demanding keys would conflict with the 5th Amendment; in the few cases that I'm aware of[1][2] where a defendant was successfully compelled to decrypt their files, the suspect had either already demonstrated that the evidence was in their possession and thus given up their right to self- incriminate or been granted immunity. Also, with end-to-end encryption law enforcement won't be able to decrypt regardless of whether or not they have a warrant, and they need a warrant to initiate a wiretap to begin with.

My experience with Digg reader is that it is still subpar, though better than Feedly. Specifically, I've seen it miss updates on some feeds (sometimes for days at a time), and it frequently "forgets" that I've looked at items and shows them as new again (seems to be a UI glitch). It also frequently shows feeds as having unread items but no items are actually unread (seems to be a server-side glitch, resolved by marking read in bulk).

Digg Reader is still the best I've found, but still feels like a notable step down from the reliability and consistency of Google Reader.

Its the exact same thing here in Vancouver, there are even protests because someone is going to tear down a small house that fits one family and build a bigger house on the same property that fits multiple families.

This is new - has the owner said that multiple families will live in that house?

It's stupid to expect to be able to live in detached housing in a world class city

Since when did Vancouver become a world class city? I don't mean that to be cruel; I live here myself. But Vancouver has neither the culture nor the power nor the money to be considered world class. The people are poor, the economy has a paucity of opportunities, and now the housing really is only marginally affordable, even if you go out somewhere crazy far like White Rock.
I risk getting a little too "meta" here, but I feel it will be constructive for us all, and I hope it's ok this one time.

> Please stop doing this

Most of your responses to myself and others begin with a line similar to this. It's meta in itself, but also puts people a little off. We're debating things here, and we seem to disagree on some points... but that's OK since that's really what we're here for. You can't ask people to stop disagreeing with you, but if you feel strongly, you may choose not to respond.

> It really bothers me when people erroneously suggest that I support crypto backdoors.

You have stated this several times, and I do believe you. The problem here is that we're not (and the government's not) just discussing backdoors, but other means such as purposefully weakening encryption, outright bans, or other methods of subverting strong encryption. Stating you don't support backdoors is only one small component of what's at stake here. It's almost a level of misdirection or a half-statement to throw this in whenever someone attacks your argument. In addition - you have made good arguments which seem to illustrate the problems with having universal default unbreakable encryption. This leads one to believe you are in opposition of such.

> My issue is that universal default unbreakable encryption doesn't just break dragnet surveillance, but also breaks discovery and evidence recovery done under a warrant in routine investigations.

This is an example of one argument that seems to favor subverting strong encryption by some means. If you do not support universal default unbreakable encryption, then you must be against it on some level. If you're against it on some level, then the logical conclusion is you support one or many of the government suggested solutions, such as banning/backdooring/weakening. As mentioned, you do not support backdooring, but that leaves two other options that are being actively pursued by the government.

> I'm going to hazard that I've done more work to help foil attempts to break crypto than you have. My bona fides here are established

This is largely irrelevant information. I am aware of your background - however one's professional view is not always the same as one's personal view. Being a security professional and thoughts on encryption are not mutually exclusive.

> no matter how you choose to misread my comments

I think this issue isn't really a misread, but rather the half statements about backdooring. I probably didn't articulate that difference properly, but I submit you failed to do the same.

In any event, it seems we mostly agree on this subject really, although we both argue it differently.
> About plain-text, I don't believe it's the MJML role. Most Email Service Provider provide ways to send HTML and Text part separately so shouldn't be an issue to deal with both.

The email provider can certainly send mails containing both HTML and text, but that leaves it to the application to generate a sensible text part. And many applications fail at that.

Rather than leaving it entirely to the application to handle, you might consider incorporating or recommending an appropriate html-to-text rendering mechanism known to work well with MJML templates, to make it easy for people to generate a full multipart/alternative mail containing both text and HTML from the same template.
I've worked as a CSR for a wireless company in Canada for a short period of time and as tech support for a large north american PC manufacturer for awhile and nothing I did ever changed just because a customer was recording the phone call. I still followed whatever the company policy was on the issue and spoke in a professional manner. Not saying you were wrong in anyway of course but if a CSR is doing their job properly they shouldn't be phased at all by a customer recording the phone call.

Despite your persuasive argument, I like it here.

The US is broken, politically and socioeconomically. The Senate will block any bills for a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics, and a Constitutional Convention will mean all amendments will be on the line, including the 1st Amendment (libertarians will cry "freeze speech") and 2A (gun owners will cry "the gubmint is taking our guns away"). I really don't see a bright side to America's future. Canada has been a well-run country, even under Harper, and I am optimistic about what Trudeau Jr. will be able to accomplish.

Calgary represents everything that I think is wrong with Canada--sorry, Nenshi, I like you, but the people of your city are holding Canada back. (the CPC, putting the economic eggs into the oil basket, and so on.) Plus, Calgary has less dev opportunities than Vancouver since everything is dependent on oil and gas.

I don't like the weather in eastern Canada. The winters are too cold, the summers are too hot and humid. By the way, it's much more common to have sleet, ice storms and hard-packed dirty slush/ice than freshly fallen snow. The rain keeps everything green and the temperatures in summer rarely gets above 25 degrees. So much better than 30 degrees (with 40 humidex).

Toronto too sprawling of a city, and amalgamation (just like it did in Ottawa and Halifax) has pitted suburbanites against urban dwellers, as manifested in Rob Ford and John Tory. Also, the 905 belt carried Mike Harris (Ontario PCs) in the 90s, and his "Common Sense Revolution" permanently sabotaged Toronto's public transportation infrastructure.

Quebec is a beacon of corruption. Remember that SQ officer who wasn't charged for a fatal hit-and-run with his cruiser? Montreal is owned by the Mob. Mr. Sidewalk, the Big Owe, etc. The infrastructure is literally crumbling (like the Highway 19 overpass collapse in Laval in 2006) because of how corrupt the city of Montreal is.
