The gravy train doesn't have to stop. With a non-owner tax they ride a new gravy train. And the biggest complainers will be non-voting foreigners that dont matter and the foreign governments like China will hardly care exiting money is being punished, so bonus. It will be tough for those that bough at the peak, but it seems those will be the minority to the almost 50% of the population in my town that cant afford a home in their own city.

That said the 'loudest' voices will be the uber wealthy with large property holdings so again...good luck...
Are there examples of very lightly regulated housing markets in developed countries? Does that really lead to bad things like people say? I know it can cause slums in poor countries. But would California or Vancouver somehow fail if they allowed unlimited high density construction and development in what's currently undeveloped land? Are there examples of that happening before?
Bitcoin has problems, but let's not pretend the normal banking system is unhackable, or even possible to roll back. One group did at least four thefts via SWIFT this year using RAT tools in banks, the largest of which netted $80M. Nothing rolled back, no one caught.

>The researchers said they also found evidence that the hackers took advantage of a programing interface built into Telegram to identify at least 15 million Iranian phone numbers with Telegram accounts registered to them, as well as the associated user IDs.

Me thinks that's more important than someone intercepting an SMS - at least in terms specific to Telegram. Is there more information on this? What evidence is it?

Yep. These are also the people causing housing price rises by voting for local governments that'll protect their investments and disallow more rapid new construction or smaller lot sizes.
If it works for you, then no need to change it. For me, it depends on which tooth I'm flossing. Some are easier than others. Some are so tight that floss won't come out, it feels like I'm pulling a tooth out. For this reason, I don't floss often and not every tooth. I use toothpicks though.

Fluff piece? Did we read the same article? It covered at length the issue of the young couple essentially trapped in Surrey, unable to get enough space to have a child.

The author really went out of the way to emphasize the wealth of the investors, describing the buyer wanting a nonexistent car. The only remotely fluffy portion was describing the ecosystem of luxury services associated with the lavish spending. I think the article did a good job of conveying the huge negative effect to the Vancouver economy and way of life.
Slight aside: please don't abuse the Elvis operator like that (by using it on every single nullable reference), it could easily grow into a widespread anti-pattern that makes debugging harder.

My rule of thumb is that ?. is OK to use when

1) The reference is expected to occasionally be null in the course of normal operations

2) You legitimately don't care if the reference is unexpectedly null, as you wouldn't or couldn't fix it even if you knew about it

Otherwise it's better to discover and fix the NullReferenceException ASAP.
Yeah it would be great if police had resources so they could do surveillance for every defendant who is issued a bench warrant for failing to show up to court. Alternatively, it would be even better if the defendant's saved us all those tax payer dollars and a) showed up to their court hearings, or b) turned themselves after they were mailed the warrant and remove the need for the police to execute the warrant.

Unfortunately, unlimited police funding and hoping all defendants appear in court/surrender themselves are not real solutions. To put the issue in perspective, take the State of NY, at any given time there are going to be well over 1,000,000 open arrest warrants. At that scale even with all the resources and all the care in the World, police are not going to eliminate either officer or defendant deaths completely when warrants are executed. Just look at the society we live in, this defendant was being encouraged in real-time on Facebook to do something that ultimately resulted in her death and the child being shot. As a side I would really like to see these the alleged posts encouraging her not to surrender peacefully, depending on exactly what was said these individuals could in theory be charged with significant crimes themselves.
The symbolic form is frankly unreadable and the kernel people don't need them because they probably already dream of octal permissions when asleep.

For an alternative symbolic approach, here is how it is done in Lisp, thanks to SETF (and the OSICAT library).

(file-permissions #P"/tmp/file")
NIL

(setf (file-permissions #P"/tmp/file")
'(:user-read :group-read :other-read))

... or

(nix:chmod #P"/tmp/file" #o444)

By the magic of SETF, you can now use all other macros which modify a place:

(push :user-write (file-permissions #P"/tmp/file"))

And thus:

(file-permissions #P"/tmp/file")
=> (:USER-READ :USER-WRITE :GROUP-READ :OTHER-READ)

I think there's a big element of not being handicapped by 'legacy' infrastructure here. The US won't roll out chip+pin because it already has magswipe POS systems in too many places. Whereas places in China which have no existing system can deploy whichever is most convenient to get started with - which sounds like wechat at the moment.
I watched the video linked below, I honestly don't see how his remark is linked to gender at all.

The lottery was going badly with many ticket holders not being in the room so they are calling out numbers with no response. Huang comments on how it is going right before he makes his remark. When the winner is on stage, and the 2nd female winner too, he shows interest and appears impressed by what they do.

Where's the drama? I don't see it.

Now take 1000 nurses and try to teach them skills programmers have. Is the number suitable for profession work at sowftware companies be the same, as in the first case?

The mere fact that s/he is broadcasting takes away power from the negotiator.
Are you kidding me? She was shooting at police in order to resist arrest. This is about as justified as it gets.
This would be my guess too. I've never had a cavity in my life, which I'm sure is partially genetic, but I don't floss and brush only once a day in the morning. I haven't been to a dentist in ~6 years. My diet is very clean though -- no soda, candy, or really anything else high in sugar other than fruit. I eat a lot of raw vegetables too, which I think clean my teeth as I chew.

Someone shooting at the police is a clear and present danger to everyone's life and needs to be neutralized as quickly as possible. "Letting her shoot all the shells she had" sounds like a cute scene in a movie, not reality. You don't know what the shells will be able to penetrate, whether bystanders in nearby apartments or on the street are at danger, etc. The preservation of her life stopped being a concern when she pulled a deadly weapon and most certainly when she opened fire.

> Make a joke about typical male stereotypes, nobody bats an eye

I'm starting to think that maybe this is a problem. Maybe we should stop tolerating male stereotypes.

Edit: typo.
The reason is simple but absolutely wasn't that: they both subsidized their customers' rides to the tune of a billion dollars in a bid to undercut one another.

As it turns out taxi riders care a lot more about price than they do about the company's cultural sensitivities.

This isn't unusual in the transportation sector. In the 80s UK bus companies would undercut each other in a bid to achieve a monopoly. Some even offered completely free buses in a bid to drive their competitors out of business.

Sometimes, time is the best differentiator for good and not so good content. Would love some tips on books (fiction and non-fiction) that have stood the test of time, books that we're written in a different age but are still relevant.

I'm thinking at least ten years old but preferably even older.
How about: "Oh, I am surprised a girl won the raffle." That's off color (I.e. why put emphasis on the fact that they are underrepresented) but not offensive (I.e. there's no questioning the girls knowledge).
What is it with folks that fail to appreciate the power imbalance in society and how that makes it impossible to flip the genders in a situation to prove sexism doesn't exist. It's nuts.

Hi is words were deeply offensive even with the most charitable perspective... That it was just a joke. The not-pology was icing on the crappy cake, "I'm sorry that you were wrong in your interpretation of my words".

This is just sad and oblivious.
It also pays to check the universities affiliated in the papers. More often than not they are not Chinese but the usual gang of suspects, even if there's an ethnic Chinese coauthor.

That makes no sense. The native hypervisor only takes care of emulating the CPU. Everything else, including USB emulation and redirection, is done in userspace.

I'm sure Huang didn't consciously intend to be sexist, but unfortunately a culture of "off-color remarks" is what enables sexism.

I used to floss more or less regularly and had constant gum problems. I then switched to interdental brushes, same frequency of use, and my gum problems have since disappeared.

So in my case _something_ was needed for the gum's health, but flossing itself proved to be useless.

Is there any response from the women in the video herself? How did she interpret it?

Definitely not a sensitive remark and frankly the guy came off as a jackass across the board, from brushing off the research group's description of their work just before the raffle, to this insensitive-or-worse joke, to holding onto the second woman to win's hand for a creepy-long time.

Cool that both raffle winners were women and it was nice to see quite a few women in the audience!

This. I would go so far as to say anywhere outside the US and Australia (where the cities have only existed for less than 3-400 years). But European countries probably have stricter norms and laws for preserving old artifacts than Asian and African countries (Maslow's pyramid etc. etc.).
Not sure why you put Europe in the same basket. I get all these things in the UK.

It's not a great thing, sure. But how about a different power imbalance situation. You go to a doctor. The doctor makes a joke "you patients have no idea..." Or similar. The power imbalance there is obvious to anyone. You making a joke about the doctor is different. Power imbalance makes some things less acceptable when its to your advantage. Power imbalance due to gender is generally harder to detect when male.
Canadian small towns of 100-300k have good schools. Most of Canada lacks much of any kind of ghetto area. The few ghetto areas that exist are pretty easy to avoid. The good school worries that exist in the USA are pretty much nonexistent in Canada.

When I was in Beijing, every bus I travelled in (OK, that was 3 or 4 of them, so anecdotal evidence) had seatbelts installed in a position such that they where physically unusable.

I find it a rather funny thing, why do they do that? I mean, if they are required to install seatbelts and they actually buy and install them, doesn't it cost the same to place them, you know, in their proper place?
So they can innovate but need to learn how to do it best. And actually in some research directions, they(go back to China) are leading now. It's just the beginning of the innovation explosion from China, I guess. An opponent stronger than japan.

I use both depending on inter-teeth space. There are different techniques of flossing and different floss types. So, trying different may solve the problem with flossing itself.
For those who cannot use interdental brushes. Some doctors suggest moving the floss up and down along the teeth. Others to put it inside teeth and the pull to the side. I found the second more convenient and less traumatic at the same time. But you need a wider floss to make it work. Try different. Me and my wife use different: one brand works better for her, but is too narrow for me. Experiment.
I had chronic inflammation since school. Flossing completely solved the problem in a month or two.
