Ugh, this US/China dichotomy makes for good headlines but I hope the good people of the actual tech industry are able to see beyond it. The supporting examples are ripe with confirmation bias: - Yes, MoMo is older than Tinder but Badoo is older than MoMo - Drones took off worldwide - "walkie-talkie" = sending audio messages are you kidding me - QR codes were tried and not adopted by consumers in EU a century ago (recall the Economist being all up in arms about how they were going to revolutionize everything back in 08), no wonder companies were reluctant to bring them back

Yes, Messenger surely wants to become wx but with a user base that's infinitely more fragmented -- it's going to take infinitely longer to launch a global payments solution that partners with all banks everywhere and obeys all regulations.

You know why apps start in wx? Because there is no single app store.

Yes -- China has some awesome mobile stuff going on, but this whole "TIL Chinese people also use the internet and it has other stuff???" fascination is just sad.
The type of FOO in SBCL is:

(FUNCTION (T)
(VALUES
(OR (INTEGER 42 42)
(SIMPLE-ARRAY CHARACTER (9)))
&OPTIONAL))

SBCL is based on Kaplan & Ullman flow-graph analysis (inherited from CMUCL), not Hindley-Milner. See also http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/TInference.html (Nimble Type Inference, H. Baker). Apparently, Typed Racket's papers have other references about related work, albeit not explicitly those.

In OCaml, a function which throws an exception has not a different type than one which doesn't. So you can get runtime errors even when you typecheck. In SBCL, the NIL type (bottom) effectively conveys the lack of return value and is used when you call (ERROR ...) or simply with an infinite loop (LOOP). Things are different because the need are different. Basically, types in ML must be disjoint, which is impractical in Lisp.
Also, they didn't have the materials and structural engineering knowhow to be able to build a structure just strong enough. It was cheaper to massively overengineer things than to risk the roof falling down on you.
This is cool. It looks very spacious inside. Curious about what happens when there's a bus in front of it.
For years my oral hygienist kept telling me to a get an electric toothbrush. When I finally got one, I didn't tell her, but I never hear the "get an electric tooth brush" again.

It was the same with flossing. When I started flossing I didn't say anything, and she hasn't commented that I need to floss since.
what a daft remark, but let's not forget Hanlon's razor here.

Same here. I think startups everywhere are a jungle, but in China it's a lot deeper, much deeper. Tricks, politics, family, all of that plays a much bigger role and luck can change much more quickly. I don't know how it is in Shanghai but in the countryside it's also still possible that you need to deal with mob like groups that will simply put you in the hospital if they feel you are disturbing their business.
I'm sure a lot of individual observations come down to genetics. In my own case, I challenged myself to go from flossing once a week to every day over the past six months. Just recently went to the dentist and my gum pocket depths all decreased (signaling healthier gums apparently). Diet remained exactly the same.
I'm the exact opposite - I can instantly understand what 600, 777, 664 and so on mean with barely a thought, but having used Linux for the majority of my life I still struggle to remember "chmod u+w" and whatever.

> But European countries probably have stricter norms and laws for preserving old artifacts than Asian and African countries (Maslow's pyramid etc. etc.).

Reminds me of what my mother, who had a lot of archeology subjects at university, said about Egypt - that they have a shit ton of archeologically significant findings there, but because of the policy of not exporting artifacts outside the country combined with museums being already overflowed, people end up routinely destroying artifacts they find because there's nothing else to do with them.

That's not the only difference, or even an important one for performance. Servo's WebRender engine gets 60fps (or in the hundreds if uncapped) on many pages where Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc. all struggle in the 5-15fps range.

(Of course, Servo is still a long way from production ready).
I don't view it really in adversarial perspective: any science and tech innovation inevitably comes to benefit whole world. A technological breakthrough originating from China would be just as welcome; so far though they are still at compass and gunpowder.

Of course people's teeth are different. I know some prefer these, where you push it in from the side. http://www.tepe.com/uk/products/interdental-brushes/
I had the issue that I couldn't floss due to lack of gaps too, I even have a wire behind my bottom teeth keeping them together after having braces when I was younger. This meant I had to visit the dentist if I wanted to clean between my teeth and even after that, normal floss just didn't fit.

But now I have discovered floss tape; it's just what it sounds like, a thin strip of tape that you can slide between your teeth to floss. Now I can actually floss and it makes a big difference to how clean my teeth look and feel. I'm in the UK and the product I use is Oral-B Satin Tape - worth trying or finding an equivalent if you have teeth very close together.

To illustrate the level of wechat craze: even VCs will often add you on wechat rather than exchange emails.

You should probably read it again, focussing on the use cases not just the technical details. The technical details are more the Chinese characteristics than the actual features.

The sovereign citizen stance is accurately characterized by the term "gobbledegook." It is predicated on the false legal theory that the US federal government has no legal authority on citizens that claim they are only beholden to individual states. This viewpoint is based on the original Articles of Confederation, while ignoring or disregarding the authority of the Constitution. It also employs fictions such as the assertion that courts that have gold-fringed flags are courts of Admiralty and therefore are illegitimate.

There are some opinions that should rightfully be disregarded.

Edit: this is also covered by the OP's links.

Hang on, I thought we were discussing whether the area is "closed off from those without at least quarter of a million dollars saved up". Isn't that the topic of this thread?

First of all, someone buys the below-average homes, right? So it's hardly "closed off" just because someone can't afford the mean (or median?) detached home value. What's the twentieth-percentile home value?

Second of all, what do detached home prices have to do with this? Live in a condo, like reasonable people do.

The minimum down payment for a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in my East Van building would be around $40k.
It's limited by the distance and quality of the copper connecting you to their system.

The only thing that can improve this limit is pulling a new wire. The other providers can't do anything different because their ADSL would be piggybacking of the exact same physical wire.

If someone's going to pull new wire, then there's no reason to not make it an optic wire and skip the copper, since you can provide all services (including landline phone) over that.

So yes, of course, in that sense nobody's investing in the copper plain old telephone system, and never ever will be.
Carney's ability to stoke a housing bubble was what got him the job in the Bank of England.
This is the paragraph immediately following the sentence you quoted:

> The impact on everyone else, though, is surprisingly positive. Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California, Davis, has written a series of influential papers comparing the labor markets in states with high immigration levels to those with low ones. He concluded that undocumented workers do not compete with skilled laborers — instead, they complement them. Economies, as Adam Smith argued in “Wealth of Nations,” work best when workers become specialized and divide up tasks among themselves. Pedro Chan’s ability to take care of routine tasks on a work site allows carpenters and electricians to focus on what they do best. In states with more undocumented immigrants, Peri said, skilled workers made more money and worked more hours; the economy’s productivity grew. From 1990 to 2007, undocumented workers increased legal workers’ pay in complementary jobs by up to 10 percent.

Don't make it look one-sided.

Besides, you didn't tell me what you think a ditch digger should earn, which is what I asked. But that's fine, because you can't tell me, because you don't know. In fact, nobody knows. It is an unanswerable question. Much like determining what someone's "fair share" of taxes or benefits is, or their fair standard of living, it is impossible to determine the income they "deserve." There is no absolute standard for any of these things. The only way to know if someone is being fairly compensated is to compare their income to some kind of absolute standard -- but such a standard does not exist.

In the case of unskilled American workers, maybe their incomes are 0.4-7.4% lower than they would have been in the absence of immigrants. But that by itself does not tell us anything about fairness. Perhaps they were overpaid before the immigrants showed up -- after all, there were other people willing to do the job for less money, so what did the American workers have to offer that justified a higher salary for doing the same work? Again, in the absence of an absolute standard of what their income ought to be, it is impossible to know if they are fairly paid, underpaid, or overpaid.

This is why my git commit logs are sometimes:

perl -p -i -e 's/FOO/BAR/g' $(find src -name "*.[ch]" -print)

Having a "high level" description of what changed makes manual merges easier.

I wish git had conflict resolution like this. Treating data as an arbitrary sequence of bits is general and correct. Treating data as having a particular format can be useful, too.

As a vancouverite, and a person that's lived in Toronto for over a decade, I can say that while vancouver has about half the population (of T.O.) it has maybe 1/4 or 1/8 of the tech jobs. Also Canada is not like, say, the US, where there are many different industrial centers (ie Entertainment in LA or Finance in NY). In Canada, most corp headquarters are in Toronto and a small fraction are in Calgary and that's it. Vancouver has little significant industry that isn't tied to real estate.

Even if a crash does happen, the largest crashes to date have only been maybe 30% in '82 (prices recovered in 7 years) and 15% in '08 (prices recovered in 1 year).

What could change the course of the current deluge of chinese capital?

1 Canadian Regulatory change - the federal liberals and the provincial liberals have significant political contributions from real estate agents (look it up). They won't impl any meaningful changes. This new 15% tax will affect few and change little; it is just election season and our Premier, Christi has to look active.
2 Interest rates - The US basically sets our rates and the US is likely going to reduce the rates driving more capital to look for better returns.
3 Chinese cash - are you going to stop buying chinese shit? No, in fact most can only afford chinese made products these days.
4 Chinese Regulatory change - This could happen but most of the cash used to buy homes in BC is likely illegally moved out of china anyhow so...

TL;DR- In the 1-2 year timeframe tho, my advice - mortgage your house and buy as much BC real estate as you can afford. Good luck on finding 25%+ yoy low risk returns anywhere else.
Do you have a citation for that last one? (I'm having a girl with a Chinese woman and we're planning to visit...)
I think you'll find the vast majority of published books are still relevant, since most aren't about tech, which becomes irrelevant faster than philosophy, music, drama, art and pretty much everything else. Meanwhile, fiction never becomes irrelevant.
So iOS, Android, macOS, UWP and now Ubuntu. Awesome to see vendors like MS and Canonical jump in to bring React Native to their platform. I'm looking forward to seeing universal component sets that make it easy to develop cross-platform desktop apps.
It's a problem. There are various "anti-media-bias" organisations, most of which are themselves pushing some extreme view and denouncing opposition as bias. Even defining 'left' and 'right' is country-specific. Then you have the Overton Window problem that lobbying intends to actually move what is considered the 'centre' around.

Then you get back-formation of labels depending on party loyalty, which is a particularly bad problem in two-party systems. Something will get labelled as 'left' because it's supported by the Democrats or 'right' because it's supported by the Republicans, not the other way round. Widespread overuse of "socialist" and "liberal" as terms of abuse rather than descriptors makes this worse.

Then there's the question of whether newspapers should simply report what people say, or make their own efforts to determine whether it bears any relation to reality. Sometimes this is impossible: the greatest piece of anti-libel hedging I've ever seen was an article calling Leon Brittan a paedophile, which was comprised entirely of reported speech.

For clustering, see http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/wwwitter/20050415-my_country... : an attempt at reduced-preconception data-driven partitioning of viewpoints. It seems to have held up rather well over the past decade: people attempting to look for common factors driving the Brexit vote have found that the strongest correlate is being pro-capital-punishment. The old left/right axis seems to be subordinate to the modern pro-/anti-internationalist one.

I'm not saying the cost is significant in the grand scheme of things, but unless you own the whole physical network, the co-lo facility and the IX then your transport, crossconnects and port costs are OPEX, not CAPEX.

That ends up worse than null because the actual error will happen even further away when some value is surprisingly []. You want to fail fast in cases where your state no longer makes sense. (This is why naive use of options can end up worse than null).
It would be far more useful to have a feature akin to how FIDO authentication works where the app sees something like Hash(userID, appName). That way you can track a user within an app, so if you install the same app on your iPhone and iPad you don't have to make a separate username/password combination to get access to your saved data. But you can't track people across different apps.
