It's an interesting situation. Not difficult to imagine Canadians moving to the US, while immigrants who lose out on H1B visas take their place in Canada.

Of course, Trump has said before he's not a huge fan of NAFTA either, so...
I may just be missing a joke here, but this isn't true.
It's tough. I think the appetite for SVG might have dissipated a bit since devices properly scale and use alternatives such as canvas offer better performance.
I've had conversations with local builders, and it seems that since the early 90s the soft costs (i.e. costs related to regulation, zoning, inspections, etc) related to building new homes in much of Ontario have increased from approximately 20% of total cost, to around 50% of the cost. Meaning that half of the cost of purchasing a new home goes straight to the government. It's true that some of those costs are unavoidable, but if politicians were serious about reducing costs, they would reduce that overhead.

Kinda OT, but that's why I never buy physically large food items at McD's: the quicker you eat it the warmer it is.

Also, the quicker you eat it, the less you have to think about it; and most of McD's food items do not bear much thinking about.

The wikipedia page explains that equatorial bulge has been decreasing. I'd expect ice-melt to add mass along the equator and further slow rotation which should further reduce equatorial bulge.
I'm not saying you are wrong its just that your references don't explain your contention in a way that I can make sense of.
Your opinion is well reasoned and helpful. I think its valuable in that others who actually want to communicate could learn and benefit from it but I think the party you are talking with is just a troll unfortunately.
Hi, I'm interested in signing up for your card but I have one question first: When you inevitably abandon the project and take my money, can I expect a detailed blog post about your "incredible journey" or maybe your "amazing bet" to disrupt the market? That's what I really sign up to these things for.
In addition, they often talk in terms of centuries, not "in your lifetime" and definitely not "while you're still young enough for it to change the course of much of your life".

While I do have a grievance with a much lower pay ceiling across Canada, those numbers are ridiculously low even if in US dollars as I assume they are. I don't put much stock in the StackOverflow survey.

And I'm not trying to be argumentative, but your take on TN visas is extremely simplified. For instance software developers aren't actually allowed to have a TN visa, and instead you have to say that you're a "system analyst". Only they've actually started strictly demanding proof that you're an analyst and not a programmer, etc. Add that any single border crossing can lead to a revocation of your TN visa.

No thanks.

EDIT: Before more people reply with general comments, I am specifically talking about the salary claims for "ML Specialist" and embedded developers. Those numbers -- and I happen to have a good amount of reason to know this -- are ludicrously low. But yes, if you're a web developer, a generalist, etc, pay will be terrible in much of Canada, just as it's terrible in much of the US.
It sounds like the state of Florida provides insurance of last resort because larger insurance companies refused to provide coverage after 1992 with the state created Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. Of course that doesn't meant they won't come asking for a federal bailout when things go pear shaped.

Tornadoes and hurricanes are actually a lot more foreseeable as risks than the effects of AGW. 100 years ago everyone in Florida already knew about hurricanes.

It would be disruptive to just yank out support for whole regions. But I feel like you shouldn't get to rebuild structures with government support unless the new ones are no longer vulnerable. Whatever gets rebuilt should be able to survive another event of the kind that destroyed it, plus a safety margin. That may mean that you just can't build the same kinds of structures all across the US. Depending on locale your home might need to survive earthquake, tornado, hurricane, whatever. It might mean that it looks weird and costs more. But being able to build "normal-looking" homes for "normal" prices is a terrible deal if it means that the rest of the country has to pay for reconstruction after nature predictably ruins them.
Ask HN: What commercial products contain Raspberry PI or Arduino inside?
Certainly many products have been built with Raspberry PI or Arduino during the prototyping phase. Still, I'm wondering if any well known or successful products might contain a Pi or Ardy inside.

Then, I would wonder why they chose this route as for production, when one can significantly reduce cost by using the ARM/Atmel micro-controllers directly without the same hardware...
Is that adjusted for cost of living?

My dream for something like this is having everything on one card would let you manage the complexity a lot better.

Having one single interface to pay all bills and see spending breakdowns aggregated across all your cards, recommending the optimal order to pay down cards (if you are going to carry a balance).

Then on top of this, automatic fallback in case one card is declined, new numbers for every online transaction (not tied to a single provider).

You could even layer on top a simple scripting language to choose the card to be used for a given transaction. E.g. Use my rewards card when buying gas, but if I've maxed out the points then use the lowest interest card. Or round robin the cards to spread out the balance.

Or imagine a group outing where everyone can all combine into a single virtual card, with the ability to distribute charges however you want on the back end.

There are a ton of cool possibilities available (albeit very challenging to get right). And in theory, many people have at least 2 cards for redundancy purposes. Add in no fee rewards cards (Target, etc) and it will add up even for non hardcore points collectors.

I did the same thing but in person. Went to an airport hall where tons of people are just bored waiting. Said clearly at the beginning of the discussion that I want feedback on my project and won't ask for money or personal info.

These were the hours where I learned the most from my potential customers.
I'm assuming that comparison is converting CAD to USD which would make it ~$72k CAD, because $53k is way to low. But that doesn't make this comparison any more realistic seeing as you'd be living in Canada spending CAD.
Statistics are good for describing populations. Average pay can be a useful metric. However, when looking at what you or I might earn in Canada it is completely useless. I make 4x the average where I live. Salary is very negotiable and often has a lot of variance.
One counter objection: LiDAR on drone will be a whole lot less useful if they all 1) collect the same frequency of EM, and 2) have any way of picking up scattered signals from other drones (because it was pointed at other drones, or from scattered reflections).

Right now there's not much in the way of LiDAR on anything, but once there is, we will need to find ways to stop other active sensors from interfering with our own.

Theranos Investors Accuse Startup of Pressure to Drop Lawsuit – Fortune.com
This sounds like the typical Silicon-everywhere story. Any big developed country now has a "start up scene", and rightly so. Otherwise they wouldn't be developed. Relatively speaking, all of them are up and coming, as they're all catching up with the original silicon valley.

The only notable and interesting stories are when the articles compare absolute investment amounts, tech GDP growth, IPOs, open tech jobs or other real measurable comparisons. This seems to be lacking any of these deeper comparison to actually non-trivially show how this area is really the "up-and-coming startup center" of North America.

Chip & Pin is an interesting beast.

Canada went straight to Chip & Pin, skipping over Chip & Sign. Since credit cards generally didn't have PINs at the time, there was a little work on the part of the issuing banks to assign PINs. One of my cards came with a letter that said "Use the same PIN as you use with your regular bank card", another came with one that said "Here's your new PIN, you can change it at any of our ATMs" (I only have a credit card with this bank). This all happened over 10 years ago.

When I visited the US recently, I used one of my cards and the cashier said "Oh, you're from Canada, you have to enter a PIN" after inserting it into the payment terminal. A payment at Walmart was even easier as the terminal was customer-facing, it worked just like it does in Canada - insert card, verify amount, enter PIN, done.

Clearly the infrastructure is in place, since the transactions all worked, but there seems to be some strange reluctance for the card issuers to actually use it.

I'm wrong. edited the main comment with more references.
> It's nice to have one card as a backup, and some hardcore churners / points collectors are going to want 5 or 6 cards and use different cards for different categories... but they're real niches, it's not something that a mainstream, mass market consumer is going to want to manage.

I don't think this is the case. I think the average person has several credit cards (and is probably in the red on all of them).

On the other end of the spectrum is the financial-savvy user that also has multiple credit cards: One that gives them a gas discount, one for their Costco membership, one for restaurant cash-back, one for general purpose cash-back, one that waives the foreign currency conversion fee, etc.

As far as Toronto is concerned, nobody grows to the size of a multi-national juggernaut. Everyone takes the buyout/merger/acquisition way before that ever happens. It's often been said, what major multi-national corporation has their headquarters here? Reuters is the only one and they are technically headquartered in New York now.

The companies that get that far will typically come out of other places where they aren't stifled by the conservative VCs/angels eager for an exit like they are in Toronto.
This will be a relatively quick and dirty skim over history, but I hope it does something to dispel this belief. The comment you're replying to ignores a number of salient factors. It assumes that natural market activity resulted in Standard Oil's declining market share. It certainly was a relevant factor, but the overarching history of Standard Oil will hopefully lead you to recognize that it did not act alone.

The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890 but it was a toothless tiger until Roosevelt assumed the office of president in 1901. Prior to then, the main case involving the act was successful in using it against labor unions. Following 1901, litigation broke up a number of companies. This is important.

Investigation at the time indicated that Standard Oil employed predatory pricing up until 1900. Following 1900, they resorted to a shell-game to obfuscate what was going on.

Amongst the first wave of anti-trust litigation targets were J.P. Morgan's holdings. He was cornering the railroad and steel industries successfully, the biggest coup being the formation of US Steel in 1901. The other crown jewel in the strategy was oil, namely Standard Oil, which operated synergistically with J.P. Morgan's holdings in rail and steel. During this time, we had characters like Elbert H. Gary, CEO of US Steel, who held cross-industry dinners aimed at setting uniform pricing for steel and providing management across businesses with consolidated positions against labour organization. While it had been growing at a steady clip beforehand, Standard Oil's value began to skyrocket as of 1901 with no real change in its core business practices.

The SCOTUS' exposition of the issue does a great job showing how Oil's monopoly was mediated in large part through Rail (the case also indicates that practices wrt pipelines were analogous to rail):

"the bill alleged that the combination and its members obtained large preferential rates and rebates in many and devious ways over their competitors from various railroad companies, and that by means of the advantage thus obtained many, if not virtually all, competitors were forced either to become members of the combination or were driven out of business"

Can't transport oil if you don't have rail cars. Can't build rail cars or rail if you can't make steel, and you can't run your trains or your steel plants without oil.

In 1902, the Roosevelt directed the AG to commence litigation to break-up of the J.P. Morgan headed railroad trust - Northern Securities Company. This matter was such a high priority that the case was resolved and reported through all levels of appeal in 1904. As a side note, this is mind-bendingly fast for competition litigation, even today.

With the threat of anti-trust litigation preventing outright predatory pricing and "competitive" rail back on the table steel and oil began to lose their moats. But "competitive" rail wasn't very competitive, and continued a legacy of providing obfuscated sweetheart deals to Standard. They got broken up 7 years later as a result. By the time steel's litigation hit in 1920, it had proper competition and did not get broken up.
> Plus, I want my DockerCon money back. What exactly did you announce besides multi-stage builds at the general sessions that is actually benefiting Docker users?

That's about as qualified a statement as you can get, that is no doubt true in the alternate universe where no government exists.
It's interesting to observe the patterns of those who advocate lack of action on the climate.
Twenty years ago, global warming was absurd and "weren't they just saying we were going to go through global cooling 10 years ago?"
Ten years ago, it was, climate change? that's not happening and even if it were people have nothing to do with it.
Now that evidence becomes less disputable, the fallback becomes, well even if humans were responsible it will cost too much/change our living conditions so much that it won't be worthwhile to do anything about.

I'm not really sure where this leads, or why it's happening, but I do think it's worth noticing.

The problem is that by the time Hitler did this stuff the Treaty was already full of holes, totally defunct, and France already had to garantie not to take the same kind of military action again.

So yes, it is true that it gave Hitler prestige put Hitler had already a lot of control of the state and was already preparing for war at that time.

The war happened because Hilter and co wanted war. Hilter came to power because of a economic crisis. The rest is just Hitler gambling again and again, not the root cause.
You're judging Microsoft's actions as if they kept their systems open out of the goodness of their hearts or something. The only reason Microsoft didn't get more aggressive with their lock-in attempts was because of antitrust fears. Apple blocks apps on iOS at their whim, no reason MS would not have done the same with their monopoly to devastating consequences.

Lessons I Learned at McDonald's That Help Me Build Software
An estimate for the number of cells in an adult human being is ~37.2 trillion [1]. Let's be conservative and round that up to 40, and then assume that everyone on earth is an adult, too.

There are currently 7.49 billion people in the world [2]. Let's be conservative again and round that up to 8.

Multiplying these numbers gives us 3.2x10^23 cells. The IPv6 Global Unicast address space (2000::/3) is 125 bits wide, for 2^125 = 4.3x10^37 combinations. This gives us 1.33x10^14 addresses per cell.

Ofcourse, thinking about IPv6 in terms of number of addresses is wrong, because you should be thinking in terms of number of networks (/64).
That gives us 2^(125-64) = 2.3x10^18 networks, or 0.000007 networks per cell, which is 268054250 networks per person.

I think we're okay.

It is different. The assumption with hurricanes is that after the storm is gone things can get back to normal if people get some assistance.

With climate change things will never "get back to normal" so investing time and money into these places is unwise. It is better to tell people to move now before it's too late.

My idea to solve the problem is this: Legally prevent U.S. banks from granting loans to areas that are likely to become unlivable because of climate change in the next 30 years. That way when the problematic areas do become unlivable only foreign banks and rich folks that could purchase homes with cash will have to deal with the economic consequences of their poor decisions.
In article they mention to use brain imaging to detect the speech patterns in the brain. I have limited knowledge of subvocalisation but would not that be detected on the throat?

I've often thought about this in the context of data collected by major sports leagues. They sure are very vocal with their legalese about how they hold all rights to use any of the data that they collect, but I have a strong suspicion that if someone with deep pockets held their feet to the fire, they may not like the result. The PGATour's ShotLink data is an example that comes to mind.
First, the idea of a school running checks on Facebook sounds pretty comical to me. Your schools are definitely over-funded if they have the time and resources for that. I went to a school that is the topic of several public groups on Facebook, including a satirical web-comic that was run by a student for many years.

But more importantly, do you realize nobody forces you to post or share anything? And even if you do, it's very easy to restrict permissions to a few selected circles. Your family members send friend requests? Fine, add them to the "restricted" list. A lot of people (me included) have stopped using the main newsfeed, and I notice that most of the picture sharing is done on Instagram nowadays, but it's still a convenient tool, especially when you have friends on every continent. And it's really not that hard to keep things private.
