A couple of issues here. Firstly US does not dictate Canadian rates, sadly. The fed raised interest rates recently and likely will raise then further if the conditions are right. In Canada many people, especially young people, have dangerously high mortgages for their income. They bought into property because of fear of missing out, often aided and encouraged by their parents who made out like bandits and assume the market can only go up.

Secondly Chinese cash coming to Vancouver is almost by definition illegal because of the $50k cash limit Chinese can take out of the country.

Why do you think Rust is at the Java level for example?
if you are getting poor performance, you are almost certainly doing something incorrectly. I'm sure someone here will have suggestions if you share more details.
DataJoy is also similar to http://sagecell.sagemath.org/, which requires no sign in and lets you run Python (and much more) directly from a website, is pretty battle tested at this point, and is entirely free to use and open source. Disclaimer: I pay for some hosting of SageCell.
Counterexample: I was more passionate about my last maintenance job, where I could shape the system through slow, but steady refactoring, compared to my current job, where I mostly string together buzzword-worthy components.

In the shower? Why didn't I think of that? I've used a Waterpik before and ended up throwing it away because I invariably made a big mess with it (especially my mirror).
To be fair, a lot of the self-driving car testing and research thus far has been done on rather linear freeways in immaculate California weather. It's pretty easy to become overoptimistic.

At least, Uber ATC is in Pittsburgh, where it can become more grounded in reality by potholes, haphazard construction, thin windy two-way roads without markings or lanes, and unexpected acute precipitation.

How is that theoretical slowdown apparent in today's Stockholm?

The city is a buzzing growth center, as wealthy on the surface as San Francisco, but without any of the obvious problems with "homelessness, the mentally ill, the dirtiness & shabbiness of the city" (which the grandparent poster wanted to blame on liberal government).

You make it sound like Sweden in the '80s was a pseudo-Cuba. That was never the case.
Sure, I think I understand that, and I appreciate your answer.

My question is why do you need any bitcoins at all in hot storage?

What's wrong with netting until the end of the day and then put the required amount of coins in a hot wallet to do settlement say 24 hours after a trade?

Wouldn't this cooling off period give software and risk managers a chance to find invalid transactions and keep funds from being stolen out of a hot wallet?

SSH chat does not ensure that "I know who you claim to be". Only that "I know you're someone who has access to the same SSH key as that someone with whom I was talking yesterday".

In terms of authentication, that is about on par with an IRC "nickbot".
Pretty strong wording but I definitely have to agree on this sentence:

> There is way less women than men because the Government let people basically kill girls with selective abortion or after being born.

There is no possible benefit imaginable for any government to encourage the killing of girls. This just doesn't make sense from a Collectivist perspective.

I believe that China actually had strong laws that forbid doctors from telling pregnant women which sex their child would have because many Chinese in rural areas would abort female children on their own accord.

This was basically because of the one child policy and the fact that Chinese men are supposed to take care of their parents when they get old. So it was more of a result of really bad government policy and self interest of families.

But from what I know the one child policy has officially ended in China, so I don't think this will be a big issue in the future.
Television ads. Lots of Television ads. That is how IBM masks it.
It was straightforward to use. I wouldn't call it easy by any stretch of the imagination--you're still trapped into Java-style callbacks. It also has all the classic problems of event loop oriented frameworks, meaning you're manually managing massive state machines. IIRC there was no attempt to assist organizing the data flow across user actions except via traditional threading coordination mechanisms.
I think they're referring to the recent craze about bots (or "conversational interfaces", if you want to sound smart). They've been all over the news in past few months, for some reason considered new and innovative.
And all of it just because they didn’t have a Windows 10 VM.

Would’ve been funny to see what they’d have done with EFI – maybe a graphical message?

Anyway, the only way to solve these issues in the long-term is with relying more on signed software, similar to how Linux repos work already today.
Many of the comments seem to misunderstand what react-native is, and why Ubuntu might want to do this:

React Native is a variation of React, which is a framework for building UI components. It supports stateless components and stateful components. Compared to many paradigms for designing elaborate UI, React often offers lower levels of complexity and easier to understand performance characteristics.

An ecosystem around react has built up with various approaches to data storage and data flow. This project has great potential because it means that a developer can learn one set of skills and develop native quality UI for a variety of platforms.

Try building something simple (with a few components, and perhaps redux) using react, and you'll get what's interesting about it.
I hope this is true, because I'm about 3 months and ~30 pounds into my own diet and I'm not any happier. I'm not miserable like I thought I would be, but I certainly find myself less patient and less pleasant than before.

I'm doing fine with the actual dieting, though. No harsh cravings, rarely feel that hungry, etc.
Right from the abstract of the first study linked, the authors say that they haven't at all indicated that eating more fruits and veg makes you happier.

"Effects may be bidirectional given that optimists are likely to engage in health behaviors associated with more serum antioxidants, and more serum antioxidants are likely associated with better physical health that enhances optimism."

But I guess "happy people are more likely to eat well" isn't a very interesting headline....
Apple's Pages pre-App Store does it right. The new Pages, while decried, has improved from its first iterations and is just immensely more intuitive and efficient than Word/LO. By "intuitive and efficient" I mean to the point that I've seen people organically discover and learn to use styles properly all by themselves.

LO on Mac is just alien: that gray gradient on the toolbar is terrible, and floating modals are legion. It looks fine on Linux due to GTK theme support. I can't speak for Windows. Now that's for the looks, usability is entirely something else: managing styles and setting up headers/footers/table of contents is still ludicrously complex.
They did that, but it was "bypassed" somehow.
Well you can write pure JS instead of JSX if that helps. An example: https://github.com/ustun/react-without-jsx/blob/master/child...
I find it interesting that she installed GitHub Desktop but was using `git clone` later.

OP, If you are looking at this, learn that GitHub Desktop is supposed to provide a graphical UI for some basic git operations (such as git clone).

You can install and use git without installing GitHub Desktop.

I can second that story.

I spent years between dental visits when I was between my parents health insurance and getting a job that actually covered dental. By that time, it was almost too late.

I had severe Periodontitis and was told that if I didn't do something within a few years, my teeth would start falling out. I had a root planing surgery and some other procedures done to save my teeth. My dentist said I was given another chance, but in order to save my teeth, it was paramount to floss every day.

I started flossing and at first my gums bled like crazy, but over time, the bleeding lessened and after 6 months of flossing and several more visits to the dentist, my gums were almost fully recovered and my teeth were effectively saved.

Since then I still floss daily and see my dentist every 6 months like clockwork. Since I started flossing my teeth, my teeth cleaning appointments are literally 30-40 minutes. I can get in and out and its completely painless.

All of this I attribute to flossing daily.
Why did you add https? Just curious.
You floss after brushing? I always thought the reverse was the best practice. Of course... there has been zero science, so maybe the best is brush -> floss -> brush -> Listerine -> floss.

Here is how 5.2 looks on OS X 10.11: http://imgur.com/a/aalZB

The background of the toolbar looks completely different to native applications, and the input elements try to look like native elements, but are ever so slightly different - which to me really stands out. Even the tooltip is completely different to the native look.

It's not so much the design is bad, it's just it tries to fit into the native style but does a poor job of it. I think if instead it had gone for it's own look (like Telegram or Atom) it would be a lot better.

As you say, it's good the developers are focusing on things that will really improve the product like compatibility, but to everyday users how things look and feel are just as important - if that wasn't the case all web applications would look like Redmine :P
With almost 800 homeless people per 100,000 in SF:

http://abc7news.com/news/data-shows-sf-has-2nd-highest-homel...

... and property values rising near $1,000.00/square foot does indeed seem screwed on very tightly excepting for a few percentage points at the top.

So I have a hard time understanding what compass you are speaking of exactly.
i don't understand how we could have gone in the opposite direction.

Schema validation for us is just looking at the type requirements of the dataset and the type of the value and seeing if they are compatible. How can we do that without first knowing the type of the value?
All of which seems to point out that the very concept of "stealing IP" (and IP in general) is ridiculous.

I would expect that the upfront infrastructure cost for a monorail is much higher. However, the monorail trains themselves should be cheaper. So if you know it will be a busy line the monorail should be more efficient. If it only goes infrequently this thing wins. I guess in that regard this really is really between a bus and a train.
What "kind of people"?

They had the power to abuse that data and ship malware to millions, but decided just to give people a scare.

That’s just the average grey-hat, or how most hackers were in the 90s.

Compared with the profit-obsessed and abusive hackers and companies on the web today, which try to shove actual malware, sometimes installers with tons of preselected options, sometimes bitlocker, they’re not bad.
Bitfinex was required by US regulators to switch from cold storage to segregated per-user wallets. Something to do with margin requirements for commodities exchanges.
I'm always baffled when people are downvoted for asking for more than anecdotal evidence.
The few cavities that I have had were all extremely tiny and hardly visible to the eye. You won't really know on your own that you have a cavity until it's much more fully developed. At that point, getting it repaired is much more aggravating and a pain. I'd highly recommend getting to the dentist more than once every 6 years.
I'm begin to think that EFI is a very wrong turn way on modern computers.
I don't disagree with you that Vanity Fair is probably a bit anti-Thiel or anti-right in general, but I don't know what "generated" is supposed to mean in this context. I don't see a lot of mockery or ridicule in this particular article.

I also don't know what the "hit piece" part is supposed to be. He is a Trump delegate, he did finance Gawker's bankruptcy, he does espouse the ideals presented in the article, and he has invested in life-extension technologies. Can it be a hit piece if it's actually correct?
There's also an article about flossing on the front page.

Crazy times.
It's an interesting question to look at job and calculate how much value it would need to create per day or per hour to "outperform" the salary. Certainly it's a good benchmark in cases like this, where lone engineers are obviously not producing large-multiples of the value of their entire company.

At a guess most engineers are getting paid >10% of their value created, and some jobs (a crappy CEO, perhaps?) are getting paid >100% of that value. In fact, I'm not even sure that >100% of value means anything is wrong if someone is undertaking a high-risk job.

A third party (CDN provider) can easily track visits entirely server-side across all of the sites that it serves. Typically this is sites owned by lots of different companies users could otherwise visit without any of those companies knowing of visits to any other companies' sites -- the CDN knows.

This also comes up when the CDN handles SSL termination.

This doesn't surprise me. If I had $10 for every experienced, certified specialist I saw until the age of 13 that said "The best thing for your condition is little-to-no activity, certainly not weight lifting!" I'd be able to pay for my legal steroid cycles for a good 10 years. The only thing that improved my quality of life was getting bigger, stronger, and tougher. That's why I don't look like one of their normal patients - because I refused to believe the counter-intuitive notion that weakness is a good thing biologically. FTR I don't disclose my condition but it's a physical one.
This isn't 1990 anymore - if the kind of UI design that the devs have gone for (have settled on?) alienates a tech-friendly user such as myself, there isn't a hope in hell of people like my parents using it regularly.

I bet Microsoft Office and LibreOffice look virtually identical to most lay-people. They probably will look more alike to you than you remember, if you take the time to look honestly. Neither Office's ribbon or the LibreOffice toolbar is really so different from the toolbars of the 1980s. This is much ado about not much.

If these matters of fashion are really so important in terms of distinguishing one piece of software from another, where does that leave the software development crowd? Did we really want to be fashion designers? Is this the way to change the world with software? Through fashionable icons and good font choices?

There's a tremendous amount of talk in this thread about how LibreOffice looks and how Microsoft Office looks, but precious little about how well they work. What does that say about us?

[Edit: consider the history of the Office GUI:

http://www.thewindowsclub.com/history-evolution-microsoft-of...

There's been an absolute rat's nest of buttons and other controls at the top of the document for 26 years. The graphic design of the 2013 version is currently more fashionable than the graphic design of the 1990 version, but the 1990 version indisputably has less stuff on it. When someone calls the older fashion "cluttered" I think they've merely learned to habitually overlook the greater clutter of the newer interface.]

I'm not a fan of the modal dialog (Authentication Code) on top of a modal dialog (File Services) on top of a modal dialog (Remote Files) on top of the application window.

It makes it feel that, rather than being intentionally designed, all of these features were tacked on.

OS X doesn't have this problem usually, as most apps don't require admin rights to install, you just copy them to /Applications

/Applications requires administrative rights to update. I never use an admin account for every day activity, so I need to type in a password to update /Applications.
From my perspective, it's pretty clear that "Delivery by drone" is going to happen. It might not be this year, or next year, or even in the next 5-10 years, but eventually it's going to happen.

I think that if the FAA doesn't keep up with the pace that other countries are setting (in terms of regulation, laws, and rules surrounding out-of-sight drone usage), then eventually they will be pressured to rush some solutions which will probably have some bad consequences.
Isn't git preinstalled in macOS?
Whether the findings have merit or not (I'm willing to believe its true), the sticking point is getting people to change even if that change will directly benefit them. As many things culture-bound, you have to start with the young, those already eating are mostly set on the ways and there isn't much of a chance to change them.

It's like changing attitudes toward education, spending habits, rules of society, racism, etc. We all will recognize what's better, but will have difficulty executing, either individually or as a society.

So, good news, but... how does it help people in practice?
I'm sorry I'm not totally sure I know what you are talking about. Care to link?
There's a fine line between enough confidence to know your precautions are sufficient for playing up with the system, and not enough confidence to know you need sufficient precautions.

A) marginally less. I can assure you as a borderline anorexic it is not fun to be calorie deprived daily.

B) I found the proportion of fruits and vegetables to be much more enlightening in terms of mood improvement, even if the results disappear when looking at the actual study. The clickbait title is annoyingly typical for vice's text "journalism".
It's a bit aphoristic for my liking - up there with 'work smarter, not harder' and 'never give up'.

How do I prioritise learning against using what I've already learned? Is it better to learn things I already know in more detail, or completely new things but only to a shallow level? Is it OK to learn from YouTube videos or should I register with a proper education establishment? And how do I balance learning against other demands on my time like networking and spending time with my family?

I doubt anybody wakes up one day and says "OK, I've learned enough now, I'm not going to bother learning anything new." so advising against that seems a bit pointless.
How Tech Hijacks People’s Minds (from a Magician and Google’s Design Ethicist)
So just like (my country) Germany. "Made in Germany" was introduced by Britain to mark inferior German copycat products.

Calling copying successful products, methods, inventions "stealing" is a very subjective statement. If you want to see what someone who doesn't "steal" can achieve look at the stories of children that provided the inspiration for the Mowgli story. A more reasonable description of not reinventing the wheel is "being smart".

But is that really "having sex"? I know we had the discussion of what constitutes sex during the Clinton years but still, I feel like anything that doesn't at least include physical stimulation of some sort (in the same location) isn't really having sex. "Sexting" is more like flirting or "dirty talk".

I wouldn't consider phone sex (to go back to previous years) the same as having sex. It's like leaving a sexy note in your lover's or spouse's pocket to find at work or calling them up at lunch to ask them to guess what you're wearing.

It's definitely on the spectrum of intimate activities but if I've only had sexy video-call time or sexy Snapchat exchanges with someone (but not actually participated in anything in person) I would definitely not consider myself to have had sex with them.
