Condos are cheap in Toronto

Not for long. In Vancouver condos were pretty cheap, at least until the average detached house topped $1 million. That puts them out of reach of middle class families and then everyone is competing for those condos. 3 bedroom condos are approaching $1 million now.
Liberty and property are clearly different in practice.

Say you were arrested for holding me up at gun point and robbing me of $100, you are arrested and convicted and ordered to pay me back the $100 which you did. On appeal the conviction is overturned because of some technicality. even though you actually did rob me, there is no question your liberty will be restored (set free), but the question is should property be lumped right into that fold and I be ordered to give you back the $100?

7-1 the Justice's believe a law requiring you to prove you were innocent in order to get the money is unconstitutional. Thomas the lone dissent thinks once you give me the $100 that $100 is no longer yours so due process doesn't apply and the state was free to pass their own law to provide a process for these instances.

It isn't just our privacy at issue. With more and more critical infrastructure on the internet, having unbreakable encryption is a major national economic and national security requirement.

It's unrealistic to think that if there is a means for access by the government, that foreign enemies and criminal organizations won't be able to access it, too, and cause havoc.
It will take significant time and effort to overtake Bitcoin's name recognition and first mover advantage. However, there's also an advantage to being a second mover that can adapt quickly to a changing environment... I doubt Bitcoin will be the supreme crypto-currency in a few years. It's just too implausible that Bitcoin is perfect enough as is, and/or the community will be able to implement any needed changes before its "competitors" take market share.

Regardless, it's a good time to be a cryptocurrency investor. We're still in 1996 in Dot Com Bubble time.
The elephant NOT in the room here is Apple. I think one can safely assume that Apple is very actively doing R&D to solve the very hard problems with VR - and they will probably succeed. It'll probably be a walled garden like iOS, but it will still move the market.

> I don't leave because: it's where I was born, where I have lived my entire life, and it is, honestly, paradise.

I left. I was born there too. It was my entire life. I agree, it is paradise.

But your line just makes me think of the #YoNoMeQuité or #YoNoMeQuito thing. Don't let it turn into it.

I had to leave my family. My mom just had to have surgery and I wasn't there. My grandparents are old and not doing great health wise. My sister is trying to finish graduate school. My friends. I had a job, was making good money (that's not the reason I left) and I now have a remote job and still I can't move back.

---

For others, there is a big controversy with people saying (and shaming) others with the hashtags, #YoNoMeQuité (I didn't leave/quit) or YoNoMeQuito (I'm not leaving/quitting).

The reasons why people leave are theirs. It's not easy deciding to do it and it's not for us to comment on it.

I just hope this comment doesn't open the door to others who find the thread.

Insider trading laws are for stocks. If you somehow know in advance that a currency or a commodity is going to spike in price, you're free to hoard as much of it as you like. It's debatable which one of those two a cryptocurrency is, but it's definitely not equity.

As we saw one should not let users decide who can get access to their email account. Users are easily fooled. Google should review all applications wanting such access manually.

Though this is unrelated to the topic I think it would be good if Google reviewed apps permissions in Google Play too because users are bad at this.

Why are VR posts devoided of any talk about porn technology development. I think a huge market for VR will be the porn industry, and it seems quite untapped at this point.
Yup, 2x40.

It also depends on what you plan to do with the gpu. For example, models that do most of the work on the gpu and rarely ingest data from the host, such as large and slow models, will run just fine. On the other hand, attempting to parallelize training across GPUs and nodes is a chore...

Hi! I'm the creator of Headset. Was surprised to find out (a day later) that my project was already posted on HN! To address points "8/9/14 section II - Prohibitions" in the link above: There isn't any modification nor separation of the audiovisual components. The embedded player is always available to the user, it is not hidden or covered by any frame or element on the page. The size of the player is above the minimum dimensions (200x200) and users can interact with the player the same way they interact with it on youtube.com. I'm not providing any option for the user to hide the player, except minimizing the window, which is an action that no policy can restrict. On the other hand, I truly understand your concern. Google has the ability to change the policy at any time.
We are working on the windows version. Stay tuned on twitter @headsetapp. Thanks

Personally I think you can make it a crime not to produce a key if a warrant has been issued to search what ever you've encrypted.

That is a lot more out in the open than a "back door". When the government bashes through the door at least it's in plain site and the house owner knows it's happening. But with encryption how would you know if the government has used their access?
It seems to me that this is still speculation based on the idea that increased exposure will increase investment in it which will drive the price higher to punters buy up LTC anticipating that it'll rise and thus it self-fulfils. I don't really see what fundamentals have changed to spur such a climb.
Show HN: LeagueSmart v2
2650 days ago I submitted the first version of LeagueSmart[1] to HN for people to checkout and here is the latest[2].

This version was a full rewrite, done up with Go, App Engine and just a touch of javascript. App development with Go and App Engine was enjoyable, except for the fact that we are stuck on v1.6, and if anyone has any questions or comments let me know.

In the Chicago suburbs the local electric utility (ComEd) has been installing smart meters on residences over the last couple of years. I got mine about 18 months ago.

The meter is Zigbee-capable, so I went out and got a utility-approved gateway to read the meter (the meter allows access only to approved MAC addreses) The Rainforest Automation RAVEn cost me about $50 (it might be discontinued now)

http://rainforestautomation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/r...

There are a number of things you can query from the meter, but mainly you can read the current demand every 4 seconds down to about 10 watts resolution (the Verdigris device is claiming 5-Watt resolution). It's all in a tidy XML format with a published API spec.

Long story short, you can play with some of this stuff on your own right now in certain parts of the world.

If you've got that much at stake, generally in the US you'll have estate planners that ensure you pay little to no tax on it.
Hi, you're new here. In the USA when someone in government says something that you agree with, it may because they are sincere, or it may be because its what you want to hear. Politicians, and humans in political roles, may lie. Lying is when they say something that isn't true. They may do this for many reasons. A common reason is when they want an outcome X, and they say to you that they don't want outcome X. "Oh thank goodness! They don't want outcome X either! I can go about my business." They might say they "don't want a backdoor". Technically, this isn't even a lie. Comey does not intend to put a backdoor on your phone. Your phone is not a house. Clearly it cannot have a door. But Comey very much wants to be able to decrypt the information on your phone and says so specifically and at great length. A technical person would call this "a backdoor". It is clearly not a backdoor, and no form of door will be installed on your phone. When Comey says "we dont want access to devices built in in someway", what he means is that of course your phone wont be built with the access mechanism. Your phone is an inert piece metal, plastic and silicon etc. What he wants is that when your phone is first connected to electrical power, at the factory, then it will have the access software installed. Not built in, but installed at the factory.

If you are curious about how you might incorporate what people say into your reasoning about reality and outcomes, this is a good book: https://www.amazon.com/How-Know-What-Isnt-Fallibility/dp/002...

It's interesting that all the self driving software seems to be advancing at a similar rate - Google's, Volvo's, Tesla's and Mercedes seem to have some what similar performance, which I guess is because most AI research is published and people use similar techniques. At that rate there won't be one system dominating but a bunch of comparable ones probably including third party suppliers that any auto manufacturer can bolt on.
Stan is great! Glad to see it on HN. Nice write up too.
Not so much the apprenticeship, but my formal education was in a trade school in Australia (TAFE, back when it was funded properly, my 2 years cost about $2K). It was a lot more hands on and less theory than comp sci, which meant the graduates could actually code. Even a lot of the theory we did cover was done through hands on activities, like creating our own databases so we had to know how things were stored and indexed efficiently. The only major areas left out that are of use in the real world were the lower level stuff (c/asm) unix tools, which would have served us better than learning how to mail merge in the early "computing" courses.

From what I've heard Germany has a similar trade school path for software development.
Since the very beginning of online banking I've wanted two things: IP whitelisting and a master switch to enable/disable withdrawals. I've settled for 2FA but even top banks in Canada are still not offering it.

I have to say I'm really impressed by what you guys have achieved here.

I've been working for a while on different solutions to bring Visual Studio Code to more devices, among them Chromebooks (for which an in-browser editor would be ideal) - I'd be interested in seeing the writeup on this for sure.

What you have currently is quite similar to Azure's App Service Editor:

When I received a copy of the email 9 hours ago, I tried loading that h^16 mailinator inbox a few times. It was showing as empty except every few minutes a response to the virus email would come in.

Another thing to look at is nativescript. It is more or less an angular-based analog to react native.

I used react native to build a prototype (so thin experience here, it was just a prototype to compare between ionic, react native, and nativescript). It was okay, but felt a lot less complete and polished than ionic. There is some platform-specific stuff and the tooling isn't nearly as much fun. The ionic CLI is great. It made me a bit sad that I no longer need my hand-tooled complicated gulp scripts for express dev server, live reload, live rebuilds, and so on, but on the other hand, things work great out of the box. Tooling isn't nearly as good with react native or nativescript.

Also, the react native layouts are only mostly html. As in, there's some stuff that doesn't translate well. A well-laid-out react app could get ported across, sure, and react native will get you 90% of the way there, but the last 10% is a bit tricky. Flexbox, for example, isn't fully supported (or wasn't six months ago, life comes at you fast).

Ultimately, they're all worth a look, and I think the "which one should we use?" question is best answered by trying them all out and seeing what best fits your needs.
Please come to Canada! I will cry of joy if this becomes available up here.
Since you are a new (green) account, I guess that you're fishing for a startup idea.

The short answer is "be a good parent". Sadly for you, that's not a product.

A slightly longer answer is "don't be a controlling parent and provide your children with things to play/interact with".

I think this is about 90% or more of the answer you are requesting. Any products that take credit for more than a very small percentage of "raising creative kids" would just be marketing hyperbole.
I'm not so sure. Skin sales are the entire business model of Dota2 and LoL - the difference is who develops the skins. Valve has shown they rarely want to be involved in dlc and skin creation, they've always been community first in that sense.

An RTS or an RPG lends itself to modding tools better than an FPS in general.

No, the article is correct. This was before the merger with Enix, and the company was called “Square”, and sometimes used the name “Squaresoft”.
In Australia (NSW specifically) we have the requirement for learner drivers to complete 120 hours of accompanied driving time before they can get a solo licence.

I think that's insane, and we should do what fighter pilots do... some hours of "normal" flying, and LOADS of time in a simulator dealing with extreme cases.

So... know of any good VR driving sims that attempt to model commuter traffic?

Agreed on bitcoin not being the perfect solution for crypto. I think Ethereum has a ton of potential in this regard. Smart contracts have many applications and provided the developer community around Ethereum continues growing, I see no reason why it won't overtake Bitcoin within the next 10 years.

airlines would suffer massively if any type is grounded

It's been done before, but IIRC not recently. Sometimes you have to slap a manufacturer and an operator with a gigantic clue-by-four in order to get them to take things seriously.

In 1979, after a crash where 271 people were killed, all DC-10s were grounded for about 5 weeks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-10#Americ...
Bitcoin has by far the greatest amount of research and intellectual effort driving it, and it's far from a static protocol. It doesn't need to have gotten everything perfect, it needs to change just quickly (or slowly) enough to retain its core value proposition vs. other cryptocurrencies.

Maybe it will get replaced, maybe not. But there's no question to me that Bitcoin is by far the most decentralized, most secure, safest option of all the cryptocurrencies, including the nasty miner situation happening right now.

Ethereum is in second place, but the dev team has worked hard to maintain full control over the direction of the protocol, including frequent hardforks and promise of future hardforks.

Ethereum offers a lot that Bitcoin does not, but if the valuation were to pass Bitcoin's I think it would be fair to state that it's because the market has chosen to prefer low security, low decentralisation, high (yet unrealized) innovation potential over a decentralized payment system.

I wouldn't consider it a bad thing for bitcoin, and I also wouldn't consider Bitcoin dead or misplaced if it gets passed by ethereum​ in market cap. The decentralization is what is meaningful to me, and I don't know anything else remotely close.
What has happened to the pirate spirit that used to exist in this country? That was found booty, nothing more, nothing less. What a shame. Guess I'd better send back to Microsoft that copy of "Chicago" I got from the U. of Florida servers back in the day.
You could. The majority of software development isn't science it's craftsmanship and often good business skills make more value than something like calculus or linear algebra.

Not for people inventing new stuff or pushing boundaries, but for the horde of developers who are copy pasting, google programming and writing classic ASP every day.
Right that's what I was talking about though. I mentioned spark and flink in my original comment.

Spark makes different assumptions about the computers than what MPI does. "HPC" is 99% of the time some variant of MPI with some sort of special hardware interconnect like infiniband.

It's just in general a different software stack with different assumptions.

Like I said- I work on gpu stuff for the JVM as well, the assumption is different with how the cluster is expected to be setup though.
I'm really not. I see the impact 2-way texting is having on hundreds of retail stores everyday. It is a paradigm shift that seems obvious once you experience it.
I am not saying that any of this is practical for 99.99% of email users. In fact, I would venture to say the opposite - my suggestions are practical for less than 10 in 100,000 users. With that caveat, there are a variety of ways to make email more secure.

Every Unix system has a mail daemon as a core function. If you've ever seen "This incident will be reported." because your user is not in the sudoers group, the incident gets reported via the local mail system. Mail servers today (outside of Microsoft's Exchange servers) are still overwhelmingly Unix-like systems. A mail user just needs a Unix host, a username and ssh + mutt/pine to access their mail in this way. Then an attacker needs to identify the unix host, the username and the ssh credentials. The first two bits are likely to be trivial - the Unix host is probably published in DNS MX records, and the username is probably the local part of the email address. The last part does not necessarily need to be a password. Good security practices will have it be an ssh keypair. ssh keypairs are provably computationally secure (until quantum computing comes along) and ssh private keys often also have passphrases. Other measures - like U2F security keys - can also be required as part of ssh authentication.

So this is probably the gold standard when it comes to security for an email inbox. Is there any way we can make this more usable so that a GUI mail client can be used? One answer is to run the mail client on the Unix host and use ssh X forwarding to display it on the client machine. Another answer is to run a POP or IMAP server on the Unix host, force TLS and use normal plaintext passwords over the TLS tunnel.

Both the ssh and the IMAPS solutions require some way to authenticate the server side of the connection. The ssh mechanism typically defaults to trust on first use, but since one is publishing DNS records anyways, a SSHFP (ssh fingerprint) record seems like a good additional step. The IMAPS solution requires re-authentication of the certificate for each session. I am not sure what the current state of the art is for this for IMAPS servers. I personally believe that the CA model used for HTTPS is severely flawed.

All of this to say that for the truly dedicated user of a certain minimum (but high!) level of technical sophistication, passwordless login everywhere is possible (ssh keys; or having the email client securely store the password for use with IMAPS).
