New isn't always better. It's not as if no one on the Chrome/Firefox/IE teams are working on the architecture of the existing browsers. If you had the resources to build a new browser from scratch, you probably would not end up with something better than the existing browsers.

"unrealistic self-confidence" is usually termed arrogance. If you are an arrogant programmer, you will make mistakes of judgment because you're acting on wrong assumptions.

Regarding actual "self-confidence" based on a proper assessment of self-efficacy, I find it makes me a better programmer. It allows me to experiment and play more freely.

When I was a wee young lad, I used to be very scared of the command line. I read that you could really mess up your system with just a single typo. This imagined danger held me back from learning things. With my unfounded fear, even testing something like "python3 script.py" would make me double guess each character I wrote.

Now, I know that I can just reinstall the system if I mess up. Or play in a VM. There's negligible danger to that. With prudent precautions, I can afford to be bold with it. Pull up a virtualbox, and do a "rm -rf" and see how it burns. I believe playing with a system, breaking it and fixing it is necessary for getting a feel for it. You can't do that when you're scared our doubtful.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not.
Devil's advocate: slippery slopes are only slippery if they slip both ways.

So I could argue that even research results aren't sufficient proof for efficacy. For example, why should a "significant result" be a better argument than personal experience?

Meh, 2/10. Not that slippery.
There is a subset of confidence that will make you a better programmer: self-reliance (i.e. Confidence in your being).

Self-reliance sticks around even when you lose everything. You lose your house, money, job, partner, career, etc. and if you can still build yourself back up, you are self-reliant.

Most confident people are confident in something they have. Money, fame, house, looks, diploma, knowledge, etc.

The self-reliant, however, lives from the first car of his very own train of life — money, fame, or anything else do not precede him. Even when he loses everything, he is still in the front, navigating.

Those confident in external things will falter when they lose those very things that are leading them.

Perhaps lack of confidence can make you a better programmer. But lack of self-reliance bodes fear of the unknown.
The receivers themselves for a consumer you can get for < ~$1,000 for one that will be able to handle a couple of hundred Mbps easy. Getting someone else to point directly at you would cost a lot. Or doing both ends yourself. The business model for ie. WebPass is not to point to every customer, but to point to one point in say a neighborhood and then run cables from that to every house in the neighborhood. Which is a fraction of the cost of running cables all over cities.

At Least, that will be the business model under Google Fiber.

Lots of USA specific views in here. How about:

Most patients, even if they bother to get the minty-waxed out the box, are exceptionally heavy-handed and macerate their gums like they’ve been chewing on bare vacuum cleaner flex. Even in controlled studies, after instruction, the patients taking part couldn’t floss properly. I know of no dentist who flosses. Not one.

'I finally became a better programmer when I learned to doubt myself, to doubt the software that I wrote.'

How about just actually, I dunno, LEARN TO CODE! I see too many of these articles and they all come down to the same thing, people not taking the time to actually learn the fundamentals, how to program, concisely, systematically, methodically etc, to learn the language and tools they're using.

Are the people over there sure that it's a good idea to rely on the broken[1] MD5 and the close-to-be-broken[2] SHA-1 for verifying checksums in the context of malicious actors? Though I guess the hashes and file sizes differ, so I guess this is just being pedantic.

I'll clarify, sorry. To provide 1 gig+ service to an entire zip code, it would be one transmitter and one receiver, point to point. The receiver would then have a distribution box and run cables and/or other smaller wireless to surrounding neighborhood's/houses. The cost of doing it this way is significantly less expensive and quicker to bring service to many more houses. This will be Google Fiber's model as they expand into many more cities. The entire reason they bought WebPass.

I disagree with a lot of what you said (starting with the importance of janitorial services -- have you ever worked in a place with truly bad janitorial services?) but to stick to the factual side right now, male nurses earn more than female nurses. The article I'll link from the Journal of the American Medical Association includes analysis of approximately 290,000 RNs.

From what I've seen of them, no - they effectively turn the single loop between switch and powered device into two distinct things, the switch(es), and a relay that can turn the device on and off. Even if they could be it would involve opening up the switch/socket box and removing it to get at the actual device, which you'd presumably want to kill the entire circuit for anyway.

Not quite true. The gang that struck Bangladesh attempted to steal a cool billion dollars.

Some not small thing to add: Solar cells and batteries. A wide flat surface area, and the fact whenever I get on to a bus it is electric powered, creates this as a great proving platform for self-sustained mass-transit vehicles. This is double++ for urban transit in China.

Keeping an employee out of the market for even a year is extremely detrimental to that employee's career. Skills atrophy and domain-specific knowledge fades. And past income is not an indicator of actual value or future income.

The idea of simply limiting it to "competitors" is difficult to determine, since it's easy for any company to call anyone a competitor. It would simply allow contracts to exist that would be cost prohibitive for employees to challenge.

If a business wants to prevent high turnover and on-going poaching, then it should be the one bumping up pay to 150% of the previous year, otherwise they're paying below market wages for their industry.
Since it seems like most responses misunderstood your question, I will say that I've never been entirely pleased with "startup" content creation. Netflix and Amazon do fine, but Yahoo's offerings outside of picking up Community were rather weak. Hulu's original offerings are not great. Comcast produces some things under the Universal label (or NBC) so it's hard for me to tell what "Comcast" is making versus the purchased entities. I guess AT&T has a whole network on DirecTV but I don't know the quality of their shows. I suspect that Verizon's offerings are going to be completely disposable given their usage model and rate of production, probably similar to Youtube Red's exclusive offerings - good if you already care for that sort of stuff.

Reality TV aside, my general view is that most companies that view original/exclusive streaming media as an "add-on" versus a core competency are more likely to buy in cheap and rebroadcast ideas that were already popular, chasing the trends, and delivering less enduring quality than typical TV/cable stations. For streaming media it's more about cramming as much (exclusive) garbage as you can, and having enough videos that someone can always find something to pass the time on your service. Traditional TV can only offer you one piece of content at a time, so they at least make some effort to put budget and thought behind the quality, even if they often miss.
This is the same bullshit around how fat and salt was really bad and no one could be bother changing that rule, because it might/is technically correct.

Except everyone just ate sugar in mass quantities and we never moved forward (and probably moved backwards)

Signing the installer would help detect tampering, except it seems like in this case the compromised installer was not signed and the usual one is.

This also infuriates me (more-so the "know-it-all" attitudes of the devs). What's even more infuriating is how simple of a change this is. It took me about 15 mins to change the compiler, adding compiler warnings and producing a warning instead of an error on unused imports and vars.
I think we need to find better terminology, then. The same thing happened for 'realtime'. It used to imply hard deadlines in performing actions (like applying brakes in a car). Now there are realtime web apps that certainly don't have those sorts of requirements.
It's an interesting theory but I don't see much to back it up.

In my own experience, developing rich UIs has been - after the initial learning curve - a way simpler task than using vanilla JS.
React Native might look a web-based kind of toolkit but it's not. It supports a HTMLish layout system based on Flexbox, but it's its own native compositing and layout framework. It circumvents the HTML layouting middle layer and a browser layer. It doesn't need any virtual DOM, for example.

While it might sound redundant, it's more about making UI layout simpler, faster, and all in all more "native".

There's already plenty of browser view-based layout frameworks, and in general they run into the same limitations (performance, lack of native components, etc). This is an alternative solution to that. Think of it as a middle ground between Xamarin and Phonegap.
as a matter of fact, what did you think of Paris/France ?
There are plenty of times that you're not attached to the network, or people who don't wish to be attached to a network in order to edit a document, or don't want Google owning their work, or even having access to it.

MS Office is not available on the OS I use (not sure what 'pretty much any' means here), and even if it were I would not feel comfortable stumping up cash for it, or, more to the point, running it on my machines.

True enough. Any password for a remote site should be 128 bits (22 digits & mixed-case letters are sufficient), and thus need not change, pretty much ever. 172PLIK4PKnkjm1EVd0pQz and wvsH35et6ljj6bd78ngIMd are perfect passwords, and don't need to be rotated.

The only password which should be memorable is the password for one's local password file. There's no real need to change it either, since that just gives someone with access to it more possibilities for success.

Comcast and Verizion discovered they could use their monopoly position to sell both ends of the pipe.

Comcast I know went through and systematically shut down private interchanges with major content providers and also refused to upgrade public peering points. There were some peering points that we're seeing 10%+ packet loss. The result was terrible performance to any provider who didn't buy "internet access" from Comcast even when the only access that was needed was to Comcast's own customers.

A friend worked as a peering coordinator for a major content provider at the time and nobody had ever asked to be paid to deliver content to their own customers before. This created a standoff and I'm not sure how it ended but I believe the content providers caved.

Of course I'm pretty sure this is what was the spurred Google Fiber. One thing that Google seems really good at is to ensure that nobody can use their monopoly position to cut them off from the customer (Android, Chrome, Fiber).

"...a high percentage of young entrepreneurs there are just opportunists." sounds like Wall Street, the same difference.
A huge portion of BC (and Canada's) economy since the oil price crash has been FIRE, so I would imagine there is no interest in bursting the real estate bubble.

The foreign investor tax is a low-effort attempt to skate through another election and maybe pick up a few bucks on the other side.

An actual solution to this problem will involve cooperation between the province and the feds at the very least to handle Canada's lax money laundering laws and the Quebec immigrant investor program, as other posters have said. And you are correct in that there have already been realtors caught and censured in BC for offering to help their clients sidestep this new tax using a white proxy buyer or a cut-out trust.

However, an actual solution is likely to also tank real estate values, which is reasonable when you think about how the average single detached home in Van is selling for a huge multiple of average wage.
