> the study by researchers at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, also found that bullies had the lowest levels of depression, the highest levels of self-esteem and the highest social status.

> The study supports the evolutionary process theory that there is a biological explanation for bullying because bullies gain benefits from being aggressive. That is contrary to the theory that bullies are often exhibiting this type of behavior because they have difficult home or school lives or have been the target of bullying or harassment themselves.

Most speech like that is just rationalizations that bullied people say to feel better.
I agree about this measure - it's a good way to raise income for infrastructure from those who can most afford it and discourage leaving property unused.

But when did the global elite become our new scapegoat? Must we always blame difficulties on an ill-defined enemy who shifts conveniently with the speaker until everyone or no-one is to blame?

To me this global elite sounds just like all those other labels you claim this shadowy cabal are trying to fool us with (no doubt they plot to raise house prices once a year at Davos or Bilderberg or wherever). It's a cheap trick we invent to fool ourselves into thinking someone other than us is to blame for our messy predicament.
I think if anything, it'll make people in the more liberal cities - their main market - more attracted to the company. You may disagree, but my feelings after reading this are to support Grubhub, whereas before I was neutral on them. I value companies that are dedicated to inclusion and discourage hate speech.
More typical anti-trump propaganda. Tesla is a private company. Trump supports free market and private business. He even went as far to say he wants to improve our efforts in space.

This is also from the Washington Post. The mainstream media has zero credibility at this point.
Reuters! Light on unblockable ads, reasonably neutral coverage and very broad coverage. It's my go to.

I pay for the Financial Times, I blame reading Chomsky in college for that. Solid international coverage. Only subscription I have.

Guardian is nauseating at times, but I read it. NYT is a silly paywall. I deemed its flowery essays not worth paying for.
You often won't need to change the error object from what foo() returns; Rust errors are generally structs or enums, rather than non-machine-readable strings. But if you do need to change it, it looks like this:

foo().map_err(MyError::new)?
A lot of laptops that advertise NVMe SSDs are using inferior TLC-based or non-Samsung SSDs to check that box. Apple's not alone at the top (especially when aftermarket upgrades are taken into account), but they have been pretty good about using the fastest PCIe SSD that money could buy at the time of release.

You're focusing on yet another externality of vacant units, that they increase the price of housing. I agree with you that this is minor compared to the way that restrictive zoning drives up the price of housing, but what about all the other negative externalities I mentioned in my comment?

That's how a lot of investors make money:

1. Pick a hot up and coming city.

2. Buy 5 properties at $1m each.

3. Sell in 2-4 years for double the value, preferably paying no tax on the capital gain at all if you (somehow) can.

Rinse and repeat. It's what happened in London in 2008-2014, etc.

You just, as an investor, need to be aware it's a bubble.
The biggest source of bias in the media is not related to feeding people false information, it's about misdirection.

If you have two articles A and B, where A is more important than B, sometimes the media outlet will deliberately choose to publish B instead of A if it matches their philosophy better (even though it's less important). If the news outlet shows each reader 5 articles of type B for every 1 article of type A - Then they are manipulating the reader's opinion to become biased towards type B thinking (by focusing their attention on less important stuff). It doesn't matter if all articles are 100% accurate, your perception is being affected through the exposure imbalance; through priming.

I think that's what happened with the Clinton/Trump fiasco; "Hillary media" was publishing more articles about Trump's "sexual deviance and unstable character" while "Trump media" was publishing more articles about Hillary's "deception and murky financial schemes".
I think that the lack of competition for consumers in the energy sector will reduce the impact on solar. I don't expect utility companies to necessarily pass along their savings (if there are any) to consumers.
Ah, but herein lies the difference. Memes seem to universally promote freedom of communication, communication about freedom, and a way to react to the oppression of the status quo. In China, this is counter to the powers that be, but in America, this is fully aligned with the anti-regulation party that is sweeping through all branches of government. Memes play into their hands, and so Facebook would never be under existential threat.
>This is the good kind of nationalism, the kind where people band together to defeat the global elite and the upper class/0.1%

We'll believe it or not, that's what Trump supporters think they were doing:

How much do you charge for detecting self referential jokes that are rhetorical questions?
Volume has tanked. Prices are unclear. Everybody's waiting to see what happened.

My intuition, as well as pretty much everybody else's, is that prices will fall, when things start moving again. But it's far from certain yet, because that hasn't happened yet.

That should be fine. They have to declare the rental income as income, and if it's a pure rental property, pay GST as well. Tax authorities already audit for unusually low rental rates vs market. The rent on a 1m house is likely in the 50k+ range, and the taxes on that will exceed the 10k no-occupancy fee. Problem solved.
There are many places in the world that have close to none in property taxes. You just a flat rate city services / council tax. Property tax was partially created to incentivize the usage of unused land to reduce the externality of it.

Wow. This is what happens when it's too easy to borrow money.
That's been my experience. I would add that TDD is the antithesis of "agile", since any changes you make to your product will require changes to the tests. Sometimes large changes.
Perhaps you don't about the situation in Vancouver BC, but it is a very common place for wealthy Chinese nationals invest in a "safer" place outside their country. This is well known to the locals and those in the region.
Wrong cable. That video is showing where the extension cable is, not the USB-C cable. And that's talking about the MacBook Pro itself, not buying the power adaptor as a stand-alone product.

First off, I didn't say that Apple was blocking apps on MacOS. I mentioned it because the OP was disparaging Lenovo as a whole because of unethical behavior in one product line. As such, it's only fair to do the same for Apple.

Second, Apple most definitely does "impede" the installation of apps downloaded independently by requiring you to perform an obscure dance to execute them.
It doesn't matter whether there was a "silent majority" for Trump or anyone else because we don't attach any importance to a majority vote at the national level. Nor should we. If we did, three metropolitan areas in New York and California would dictate the outcomes of our Presidential elections.

But I hope people consider what you said when someone talks about how Hillary or the media or whatever is part of the corrupt "Establishment".

That, on the other hand, is no longer questionable.

Which still qualifies as "misleading"
This looks like a great piece of HW with a Drobo mini attached. It could be a great daemon/cron/storage box with only one ethernet port, but w/ three it seems they are positioning to compete with the ERL3 from Ubiquiti which has a MIPS-based cpu from Brocade.
Would you want a bunch of conservative Canadians flocking to America every time they get an elected official they don't like? Why do you think Canada wants you?
Well, is there a fact-checker that doesn't claim Trump's very unenthusiastic acceptance of war with Iraq when asked by surprise on the Howard Stern show means that Trump is somehow lying when he says he didn't support the war?

It's stuff like this, turning a single reluctant "I guess so" or "probably" or "it seems we should" into support, that make supposed fact-checkers suspect. Who will fact-check the fact checkers? The supposed fact-checkers were just another political weapon, tainted as could be.

Fact checkers are like certificate authorities. Once you lose credibility, you might as well close shop. You're done.
Zoning is the cause of high housing prices. This is only an issue because there aren't enough houses to meet the demand. Zoning laws are artificial restriction to prevent deflation of home values. They also prevent people from building what has been dubbed as "tiny homes" that would allow poorer people to provide a substantial improvement to their living conditions. That is where this issue stems from.

The inability to a) provide for yourself reasonable living accommodations, and b) the surprisingly huge spike in prices of homes due to the lack of homes that are required.

This is what a libertarian believes (disclosure: I'm a libertarian).
There is a "too far". When it slides from being an expensive good tool to a very expensive luxury item mostly used for show. It's a lot easier to be pretty than to solve (new) problems.

Of course, their watch foreshadowed all of this. They are not interested in solving problems; they want to turn into a Prada/Chanel/Hermes/LV style super luxury brand.
Pre-existing condition protection lost under Trump?
There were clearly issues with Obamacare that need to be fixed and I hope they do. However, there is a key provision that we should all be worried about. The loss of the pre-existing condition protection. If you are self-employed with pre-existing conditions and this provision is lost, you'll be compelled to have to work for a corporation again (assuming you still have the protection there). Hmmm. I thought being self-employed with a very small business is part of what "makes America great"??
Paragraph 3: "I firmly believe that we must bring together different perspectives...including all genders, races....ideological preferences."

Paragraph 4: "...I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life here in the United States."

Paragraph 5: "If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here."

How is this not a severe contradiction?
No, then _the internet_ came along, offering EVERYONE the ability to publish apps, at an actually very reasonable cost.
Have you considered that these people payed for their house fair and square and that it's profoundly unfair to charge them just because you and others don't like what they chose to do with it?
Almost $1M as a solo founder - impressive. I wish many years of success and continued revenue for Sidekiq, and hope the founder never succumbs to the dark "we're gonna scale from $1M to $1B" side.
I don't even monitor for sub-second downtime... A sub 500ms glitch would very likely go unnoticed on most of my production platforms. @$1B/5mins, that could represent ~$1.5million in (potentially) lost sales...
You would be surprised by the result. Economically it make sense. And i would argue that production ready Elixir/erlang is easier to teach than production ready Go.
>even the libertarians should be on board with this tax

No, Libertarians would not support this. The reason why there are empty properties is that there are capital controls so severe that it's more lucrative to buy a house (and not rent it) as a store of value than a currency/stock/precious asset (gold,bitcoin etc). A law -- which didn't account for the second-order detriments -- created this perversion in the market. Adding another law -- which again won't account for the second-order detriments -- is not going to fix it. Less is more, when it comes to economic law.
Interestingly, much the same thing happened in Germany in 2010 - a new chancellor called Merkel decided to revise her predecessor's decision to exit nuclear power. This led to massive phobic protests and upheaval among green energy companies. The decision was only revised after Fukushima, some 6 months later.

I'm pretty sure ThinkPads cost more than $160.
Has anyone suggested some sort of postfix macro syntax? I don't have one in mind, but perhaps there is some nice looking, viable one. That might have been a more general solution than a new operator.
> Given the current state of machine learning, could an AST be generated to accommodate a given language?

No machine learning required. It is certainly possible to automatically generate an AST based on a grammar.

The more interesting question is whether you can automatically generate a grammar based on samples of the language - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammar_induction - although it is unclear why you'd bother trying for a programming language (as opposed to natural language).

> And more importantly, can the form of an AST cause a difference in performance of the overall program?

If you are compiling to machine code, or to bytecode for some VM, or transpiling to another source language (e.g. JavaScript): not really. The form of an AST could make a difference to compilation speed or the ease of implementing later stages of the compiler, but I can't see how it would directly make any difference to the performance of the compiled program.

However, if you are doing tree-based interpretation: Yes, differences in choice of AST can make a significant difference to runtime performance.
"Rhetorical Fever" is entirely too contagious. Recovery from it can provide immunity, but is fairly rare. (See Shikasta by Nobel-Prize winner Doris Lessing for more).
Before anyone accuses me of "being a fascist" for supporting this kind of censorship, take a moment to read the article again. He's not telling people to resign if they are pro-Trump, he's asking people who are going to actively make others' lives worse through hate-speech and derogatory action to resign. Remember that your liberties end where other's liberties begin.
> they want to turn into a Prada/Chanel/Hermes/LV style super luxuary brand.

The Watch Edition showed that there's a step too far for them, but it's not the definition you used. Nobody bought the thing. We had to get into the five figures for that to happen, though, and it's because Apple didn't fully understand the luxury watch market isn't entirely driven by how expensive the thing is.

That said, Apple has been pushing the luxo market for quite some time, even before the watch. There has almost always been cheaper items than Apple products that fulfill roughly the same niche. iPhones are often a status symbol, and now having the newest one is, now that they are ubiquitous.

The fact that they are somehow supremely useful sometimes falls out for the sake of design. Remember the little iPod shuffle that had absolutely no buttons that they marketed like jewelry? What about the headphone-less iPhone 7 or the Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C only new MBP? Going older, what about the 20th Anniversary Mac, the G4 Cube, or the iMac which didn't come with a floppy drive and nearly everyone bought that Bondi Blue SuperDrive thing?
Zoning laws, zoning laws, zoning laws.
No, the fact that the whole lower mainland has 30% the population of NYC is why Vancouver proper has 1/3 the density of Brooklyn.

Increasing density in response to rising populations is great. Increasing density in response to rising investor demand is what we've done already, and it's why we have incredibly lonely, dead neighbourhoods like Coal Harbour.
Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not your own personal Google.
Yes, I'm talking about straw man renters. Considering that the non-compliance penalty would likely end up being several times the value of the property (1% per day, and you can bet that it will take more than a few months before self-declarations are challenged), I suspect that this bylaw would get thrown out or heavily rewritten by the courts.
The additions to the geospatial feature are a plus. from 5.6 to 5.7 there is a huge jump in potential. Hopefully more coming
No, it's just that no one understands the failings of computer models better than we do.
Zoning for higher density doesn't necessarily solve this problem.

Creating more supply results in more units that can potentially be purchased as an investment and left empty.
pipes are amazing though
> But I discovered that Apple did have one more hidden extra cost in store for 2016 MacBook Pro buyers

This seems like an extremely misguided article. The overwhelming majority of users don't buy extra power adaptors. I'd wager that most power adaptors that are purchased are to replace the old power adaptor (because it was damaged or lost). So no, this is not a hidden cost in store for MBP buyers, this is a "hidden cost" in store for the handful of people who like to buy 2 spare power adaptors to go with their brand new computer.
I'd 100% push people towards offering an extension for free to build up a good amount of reviews & user base, then switching to any paid model (One off, Monthly Subscription or Annual Subscription). If people are happy to pay for something that was free, it's a good indictor that you've built something decent.
I went for Annual Subscription because I felt it offered a fair price point ( < $5 a year per a user ) and it created an incentive for me to keep maintaining the extension. I'd recommend playing around and seeing what works best for your extension.

> Do you see any practical risk with someone offering a copied version of the extension

They're are already a bunch of extensions doing something similar for free. I like to think people have used my extension because I'm never more then an email away if they have any questions. Also as it's paid, I have no incentive to sell it to a 3rd party who might start injecting ads into webpages or something.
OK, so how can the voters of Vancouver change the laws of China?
I think in the absence of zoning, the affected neighborhoods would have HOAs by contract limiting building freedom. What's the difference as to whether the contract is imposed by the local government or a private council that is attached to the property?
That's definitely an alternative response. Here, we've decided that we should instead cut investors' demand of housing, rather than increasing supply proportionately in response to investor demand. Like raldi says above, it's an approach that's a little more sensitive to the fact that we have to live in the hollow feeling city that an investor class can make.
I, on the whole, don't agree with this sort of thing; sounds like the CEO is a complete asshole. I certainly wouldn't work there and will certainly not use their service just based on this alone.

Having said that, the shareholders should be able to hire/fire anyone they please. Period. If they delegate that right to a board, and then to managers, so be it. The proper response to the use of commercial power to intimidate or harass or discriminate against employees (or customers) is to respond in kind: call them out on it, don't do business with them, don't do business with other businesses that choose to closely partner with them. So long as that's done with honesty and not making shit up, then more power to you.
The original title has a style similar to "Do cars kill people?".

Well, cars are inanimate objects and do not kill people per se. Something else is hidden but obscured by the choice of the title.
I have one for each of my desk setups at work and home. I don't think I'm the majority in any way but I don't think it's that uncommon either.

"No, I'm pretty sure you have to either declare it as a principal residence or you have to rent it out for at least 6 months a year with leases of at least 30 days. "

I don't understand - what if it's neither ?

What if you are a plain old canadian who has a home in Vancouver and (for instance) a home in Golden ?

It's not at all unreasonable to have a home that:

a) is not your primary residence

b) you live in for 2-3 months of the year

c) you have no intention of renting out because you go there regularly or sporadically

What does one do in that circumstance ?
Actually, it mostly not about yield or appreciation.

Its about having more money than you know what to do with.
I've heard this about many cities, including Boston, London, and New York.

Do you have evidence that it is true in large numbers?
That's going to go well.

Trump is bad for the environment (then again, all Presidents have been bad for the environment--nobody has the balls to do what needs to be done), but there are some bright sides. If you look at environmental harms in dollar terms, climate change isn't actually the most harmful thing: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/External_costs_of_coal.

Per kilowatt hour of coal-powered electricity, air pollution generates about three times more environmental externalities than the climate change effect. The effects of mining in Appalachia is significantly more harmful too.

Climate change is a sexy issue, but health damage from air pollutants tends to cause more actual health damage. Water pollution is a bigger issue too: http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toi-editorials/very.... Ideally we'd address all three, but as a practical matter no U.S. President will take more than symbolic steps towards fixing climate change anyway.
This is an incentive to demolish a home in order to drive the assessment down (and keep ownership of the valuable land). Right?
