Sorry, this was a typo (unconscious bias? who knows). I meant parental leave of course.

I should add that parental leave can only work when it is mandatory, for both parents.

American companies do this a lot: you have the option to take unlimited vacation, the option to take parental leave... but peer pressure, social pressure push people not to take them (at least to the full extent they are entitled), as it is seen as letting the team down, or letting the company down, or not being compromised enough etc. In the case of parental leave, society pushes mothers to take it, rather than fathers.

Therefore, mandatory equal leave for both parents is the only way to make a difference... Unfortunately not even Europe is there yet (or most countries in it).
Also, cash has its builtin handling costs. It needs to be handled and counted by cashiers, which usually takes more time than an electronic payment transaction (iff the electronic transactions go smoothly).

I don't have any insight on how much costs this is actually causing BTW. But I recall handling costs for businesses being an argument in the debate to abolish pennies (in the US) or 1ct/2ct coints (in Europe).

I always thought that correctness (in computer science) only asserted that an algorithm acted as specified. For example, say the specification was: The input accepts an element in the set of real numbers, and the corresponding output is that number added to the next element in the set of natural numbers.

If this algorithm is used to dispense some type of medication, and I enter 3.1 and it murders you with 10 grams of alprazolam... well.... the algorithm is still correct.

Little Haus Big Halsey (Redford said it was his worst movie. Yes, it's masagonistic. Yes, he plays a jerk. But the movie captures the 70's I recall as a kid. The filming is great. His side kick in the movie did a great job playing a sweet, innocent, country teen.)

A lot of foreign films I have yet to see.
> No French cinema

The following films are on Lee's list and are French:

Les 400 coups (400 Blows), Truffaut
La Nuit américaine (Day for Night), Truffaut
A bout du souffle (Breathless), Godard
Paris brûle-t-il? (Is Paris Burning?), Clément

So 4/87 (approx 5%) of his films are French.
The list wasn't created in isolation it's for his grad students, that's the context.

It's a list for aspiring directors who are part of the NYU Graduate Film program http://tisch.nyu.edu/grad-film/courses ... and they get three years of context.

Yes, I think this is a huge problem -- if interest rates rise again, a lot of people will suffer. Therefore policy makers have a big incentive to keep interest rates low.

I don't know how this will end, but I don't think that the current low interest situation, which incentivises credit and discourages saving, can be stable in the long run.

>I can't write a sensible comment to this.

Just as I can't write a sensible comment responding to someone-- just one guy remember -- making a "top list" of movies, then having to update it based on a silly criticism.

He picked his top movies. Do you think he deliberately left films by female directors off his list? Then who cares.

>The current list

Thankfully we have the PC crowd around to tell Mr. Lee what movies are his actual top films.
This is true, but this should have less effect on rents which the article notes are high in Vancouver.
> Note: When Spike originally released this list, many noted the lack of female filmmakers. Lee accepted that critique and released an updated list.

Thanks, I'll stick with the original list. Given the small number of female filmmakers in Hollywood an only-male list is not unlikely. Political Correctness is a bitch.
I'm not where you've got your numbers from. I bought my midrange desktop including monitor and peripherals for less than $900 three years ago and yet from a performance perspective it's still 30% faster than the PS4. Somehow that PS4 lasts 10 years but the PC has to be upgraded every year? I merely bought a new mouse and an SSD but you could probably say the same about buying a controller for the console.

Ironically I've seen people argue for consoles because they don't have a lot of money but then proceed buy the other consoles which means the price doesn't matter to them.

You are also forgetting the fact that you can literally get the best consumer PC hardware on the planet for a mere $1700 (i7 6700k + 980 Ti + nice case/mainboard/psu + 512GB SSD + 32GB RAM).
The difference in law between a bank and any other company that looks after your money for you (for example, a pre-payment for goods) is that a bank is allowed to add your money to its central assets and do what it likes with it, whereas any other company has to keep your money in a separate account until it returns either it or the goods you wanted in exchange. Lots of people think this is the other way round. This means that if a bank goes under, the bank's creditors get to keep your money, and you get to claim back under your country's guarantee scheme, whereas if a different company goes under, your money in its separate account is protected from creditors, and should be returned to you.

A while back I got a random letter written in German that I had to ask a friend to translate for me. Turns out that a few years ago I had pre-paid for some computer equipment that was under development in Germany. The company director had played fast and loose with the rules and used my money to (fail to) develop the product, before the company went bankrupt. Because of this breach of the rules, the company lost its limited status, and the director was personally responsible for the debt to everyone.
Good point. Perhaps Americans are better negotiators, and haggling over price/salary "isn't done" in Canada (I know nothing about Canadian culture, but fascinated about the possible effects of culture on an economy).
The full name is primary expression. The meat of it is that a primary is usually just a literal value, identifier, or something in parentheses, but it varies based on the particular language.

Hopefully the market identifies and votes for ($6/yr or something) a superior alternative to Delicious - it's not desirable to have people migrate their data sets into various other leaky buckets available here and there, because when that happens we lose the power of (I don't really know the correct term, 'affinity' maybe?) the power of collective association - in addition to me, keeping track of my own shit, what I'm really interested in, is who are the other mono-maniacal souls who've bookmarked that same crazy page that details [insert the most wonderful thing you've ever found on the web, here] - ok, and now that you know who these other kindred spirits are, what other great stuff have they found while you've been sleeping?

How to Use Espresso v2 for Mobile App Testing
Rewriting can pay off in spades very quickly.

Just as some examples.... we've moved some pages to vanilla jQuery to Angular and have gained orders of magnitude more stability (read: basically no state-inconsistency bugs in newer pages).

If you're faced with vanilla javascript in the DOM and have any amount of complexity to it, then you should be using angular/react, if not for your sanity than for the sanity of the one who will need to maintain your code (read: you in 3 months).

If you're knowledgable enough to know that your use-case doesn't work with the newer tools, then more power to you. But the productivity gains from moving away from your jQuery spaghetti code to one of the more managed frameworks is well worth the rewrite time.

I don't know much about going from Angular to React, or Backbone to Angular though.... the choice of framework is likely dependent on what kind of user interactions dominate your app and subjective comfort.

But if you're careful, you can actually transition apps slowly over to Angular and I assure you, you could get rid of so much of your custom-written (probably not well tested) DOM management code it's not even funny.
That's the way I read it as well. They were selling food for more than it cost them make/buy it and deliver it, but not enough to cover all other expenses.

Under sane conditions, I'd presume this is the type of company that could get money, either through debt or equity. The business model works, it just needs scaled. However, that also assumes scaling the business does not also scale those other expenses at a ratio well below 1. If the ratio is closer to 1, it's a bit dubious to not count those towards the unit costs.

Maybe the Uber playbook shouldn't be used for every on-demand service or maybe it would be smart for on-demand services to offer a non-commodity product so their success is a lower bar than shooting the moon.

Needs a synonym list in the search.

For example, there's at least two Mike/Micheal Duncan's, one does history podcasting (history of rome, revolutions, both awesome) and the other I'm not familiar with but apparently does something biblical.

The history podcaster does not show up as a person but the preacher does.

The history podcasts show up for mike duncan but not micheal duncan.

The history podcaster is "kinda famous ish" in the the field of history podcasting and keeps getting interviewed on other shows, pretty sure he was on "life of caesar" and a couple others, but those either don't show up or haven't been crawled by the search.

I think it would be accurate to assert that mathematics helps create a logical thought processes which is the only way to think about programming. Additionally, some areas of mathematics are nearly identical to their programming counterparts (set theory, Boolean logic, graph theory, etc). When I am doing SQL joins it helps me to think about set theory/ven diagrams to envision the output. Additionally, I think the strictly defined terms in mathematics helps me articulate concepts relate to software both more accurately and precisely. For example, I can define an integer in most languages as the set of natural numbers union the set of additive inverses union the set containing only zero
It depends. Pseudo-anonymity can give a (possibly false) sense of security. With bank accounts tied to your name, at least you definitely know that "they" can trace it back to you at every time, whereas with pseudo-anonymity you might never know if you're fully anonymous.

On the subject of money laundering, Joi Ito just recently published an essay linking anti-laundering laws to copyright laws and critical of the usually poor design of both.

Abstract: Intentionally or unintentionally, poorly crafted or outdated laws and technical standards threaten to undermine security, privacy and the viability of our most promising new technologies and networks, such as Bitcoin and Blockchain. We should vigilantly be reviewing and revising laws and standards for the public good and working to prevent the creation of fragile and cumbersome systems designed to comply with these poorly crafted or outdated laws. In this post, I discuss the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s Anti-Circumvention provision, Digital Rights Management, Anti-Money Laundering Law, Know Your Customer Laws and security backdoors. [1]

We're living in different worlds. While you seem to like to live for yourself, I live in a society. Moreover, I live in a social country (and more important: A social culture) in which the line isn't as clear as you'd like it to be.

Let me state first that I'll be the first to understand that people opt to have no kids - I myself was certain that I'd never have kids, never want kids until I reached 30+ and I still see the trade-offs, the benefits.

Your definition of employment seems rather limited from my personal point of view. If you hire someone, train someone, potentially socialize with someone, you have a contract with a person not a wage slave. People having kids isn't a fad or some new fashion, it's basic (human) nature. You wouldn't be able to make your case without people opting to carry that burden (it's also hugely rewarding, but we're discussing time off here and that's explicitly to help parents to manage this .. interesting times).

In short, your argument seems rather egocentric and the whole thread is reading like a min-maxing discussion on a RPG online board. But then again, you also claim that taxes are theft and I don't think there's enough (or any?) common ground to argue here. Your expressed opinions are about as anti-social as anything I've ever read on this board and I honestly cannot imagine under which circumstances people could come up with values like these.
That isn't QUITE true. There are enough details that I can only speak in generalities, but in general, ordinary consumer accounts are indemnified against fraud and theft by the bank itself. US law requires that banks cover all or nearly all of a customer's losses to most sorts of fraud and theft (which it is depends on the kind of payment system) so long as it is a regular consumer account (small business accounts, for instance, may be out of luck) and the customer reports it within certain legally mandated time frames.

If the fraud is so extensive that the bank cannot afford to reimburse all of the customers, then the bank is undercapitalized and will be taken over by the FDIC.

I think that was my point. As a reader of this list, it is of passing interest. Take the course this list accompanies and I will receive much better context and substantially improve my understanding of their inclusion.
Why? I don't get it. Facilities like these (and health care, care for the old/jobless) benefit our society, why shouldn't you pay for them with tax money?

What else should tax money be used for then?
Why is the US thinking that way?
It's such a burden to have a modicum of social awareness. Almost as much as being from 'another group' while in the tech world... except not at all.
I honestly don't see the problem. Its a matter of getting used to.

Now the question is whether its an improvement visually over the older version. Which is probably not, its just a change for the sake of change.

Some do leave, yes. Many come back home later.

Amazon opened the Toronto office back in 2011 because there was demand- Canadians who didn't want to live in America anymore- often because of family, friends back home or because they wanted to have kids and not raise them as Americans, culturally.

It started with less than 10 people, plus the hiring they were able to do locally. It's now an office of over 300 people, maybe 100 of which transferred from Seattle. And the transfers back haven't slowed much- lots of folks simply want to come back home after a few years.

Lots of room here to grow. If Trump wins, I expect we'll need it.
