This is very disingenuous in my opinion, California is the most populous state. Most of Canada is not populated. Most Canadians live within the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor [1]. Its a fairly small (densely-populated) area compared to the total area of Canada and especially compared to California.

For example, If southern Ontario were a state then it would be the 6th most populous state [2] [3] (between Illinois and Pennsylvania in population) and also more dense than Illinois.

I feel like Americans don't really appreciate how most Canadian cities are so close to the border.

What I see is actually "it's wanted/needed enough that it's worth putting in the huge effort to make such a complex (and novel?) system reality".

EDIT: to be more clear: what's new here isn't "exposing liveness at the source level" but "model liveness in region typing".
If we were changing when the destructor runs (which we can't because backwards compatibility - also, doubtful we'd want that at all), that would be more "source level".
This breaks the HN guidelines, which say:

Yeah you're reading it wrong. This is for node so it'd never be client side, and I'm sure the pw examples are in plaintext just for simplicity in the README.
Reading it wrong. Any application needs to use secrets, it's up to the developer to pass them in properly. For example, you can use environmental variables, command line args when running the process, or a config file. This isn't a client-side library.

page's argument is that waymo as a whole was successful, so waymo as a whole got paid a lot. because levandowski was an early waymo employee and pretty senior, he had a large 'stake' in waymo's bonus payout.

however - and this is page's big point - that payout has little to do with his overall contributions to the project, and rather that he had early responsibilties and stuck around.

It doesn't bring anything (except a bit more performances when you create tons of objects, a setup that rarely matters unless we're talking video games or some very niche applications that somehow can't work with a subset of your data) but only create more cognitive load (bind, call, =>, closures using this, where Am I? is it a method or a function? Is it already pre-bound?).

Functionalities that create extra cognitive load and doesn't give you anything shouldn't be used.

Japan's primary problem on income is that the economic ground they've lost in the last 20 years is vast. In the late 1980s, their GDP per capita was beyond that of the US. Now it needs to climb 50% to catch up. The last 20 years has taken them back to #16 among major economies in terms of GDP per capita. That gives you an idea of how difficult it's going to be for Japan to bring their incomes back in line with high per capita output economies like the US (or Australia, Denmark, Sweden, etc).

They need very substantial, sustained economic growth for a decade or more to start regaining lost ground. Their debt problems will continue to put pressure on the Yen, the debasement of which is a big culprit in the sizable drop in their standard of living over the last decade. While their interest costs are eating up such a large portion of their budget, their ability to properly invest into growth is heavily restricted. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I've yet to see a plan for how they're going to deal with that. To make matters worse, their savings rate has dropped to low single digits, as their standard of living has dropped they've been forced to reduce savings to try to maintain (which has further pressured the government's ability to properly fund itself, as they can no longer count on tapping into large new pools of savings via debt issuance, leading to abusing the Yen as a last resort).
Never say impossible.

Everything you say now about Canada, could have once been told about the US.

Superpowers are very powerful, but they are to an extent fragile. Affluence is good, but it also softens your bones and makes you believe you are the best because you are in some way special.

No doubt the US is still a very great country, with great culture and great people and there has hardly been country in Human history that has been this awesome. But its wrong to say this will last forever.

Things get reversed very quickly. Look at the middle east, look at the USSR. It takes a lot of effort to keep a super power intact. Things go down rather too quickly if you are not careful.

Liking and use aren't necessarily correlated unless two things have the same purpose, and even then, not always. For example, I love Venmo but may only use it a few times a week.

Snapchat and Instagram share some of the same purposes, but most use them for very different things. This article is Facebook trying to say "Look we beat Snapchat at another thing!" in order to leverage their network effect power. What likely happened is they optimized their app to do exactly this with the goal of this press release (and ad revenue as well likely). None of this actually speaks to the app experience of either inherently.

Despite both having app use times over 30 minutes, the reasons for each are entirely different. Instagram is because you are scrolling on a feed. Snapchat is because you're messaging people or taking pictures to send.

The numerous overloads of 'this' is one of the things that turned me off from JS. It's great that bloggers explain the usages and how it works in different scenarios, but really the better solution would be to not have the problem at all. I would trade overloading for verbosity. An editor can easily squash the latter, where as a human has to train for the former.

A minor point- but exponential curves never actually asymptote or go vertical, they just keep getting closer to vertical forever. But with a big enough level of growth it might as well be vertical.
This. Sure. But pure speculation. The forward momentum of that airplane could have clipped a tail and taken it off while pulling up and max thrust. He was wayyyy below minimum decision height (called out and set before landing, usually a few hundred feet).

OTOH, he could have very well collided with the other Airbus on the taxiway rapidly halting his forward momentum and exploding into a fireball subsequently taking out everything for half a mile ahead.

What's alarming her is the distance of the Air Canada jet to the ground, less the tail of the Airbus = this guy was FEET AWAY from clipping that jet.

I wonder if this is region specific. It isn't a thing here in New Zealand. My understanding is that the US has a very genetically diverse bee population with many different genetic strains available. A strength and weakness of being remote down here is that we don't necessarily get the diseases, but we don't have the genetic pool available to fight diseases when they arrive.

> There's no way to give a return value the lifetime of the caller, not the callee.

That is, in the general case, not physically possible, and this sort of thing only works in GC languages because they return GC pointers to dynamically allocated data. It certainly doesn't exist in C or C++ (unless I completely misunderstood what semantics you wanted).

AFAIK there is no implementation of anything (not even JITs) which can allocate on the caller's stack. The closest anything gets is Forth where the call stack and data stack are separate and returning just leaves data on the stack for caller to read.

Without a split stack, returning something larger than a register (or two) is done by passing a pointer to space on the caller's stack, to the callee.

There have been very specific schemes proposed for `-> [T]` in Rust, e.g. the slice is left of the callee's stack, and a pointer to it returned, so the caller can allocate that much stack space and memmove'd it up.

But that wouldn't help with "allocating" on the caller's caller's stack because moving the data would invalidate references to it (and if you can have a reference to something, you can use it in ways the compiler can't trace it, unlike a GC).

> I think Canada is well poised to be the next big super power, replacing the USA.

With all due respect, I think that is a very far fetched assumption. Canada is not one of the premier auto manufacturing nations like US, Germany, Japan, S. Korea. Auto manufacturing is a good indicator of a nation's industrial power imho because it requires a balanced combination of design, engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and marketing.

Also, it annoys me that US is getting so much flack for the seemingly anti-negative immigration policy. Let's not forget US has been accepting more legal AND illegal immigrants than any other nation, since 1970s. I may be wrong and would really welcome any correction on this.

To avoid flame war, I will just stop there.

Unskilled agricultural work is the lowest-of-the-low. In Georgia they cracked down on using illegal immigrants, and it cost them their peach harvest, because locals won't do that kind of hard-to-reach (rural), low-paying, short-term/seasonal work.

A similar thing is happening here in my home state in Australia. The government introduced a new tax on the backpackers that traditionally filled out the fruit-picking workforce. The fruit-pickers cried foul about how the government was now strangling them... but this story has a twist: the fruit-pickers have been treating the backpackers like shit, withholding pay, for enough years for word to get around that it was no longer worth doing.

In short, local residents don't want to do short-term seasonal work under poor working conditions - unskilled agricultural jobs really suck. Not to mention that you're not going to draw city-dwellers out to the farm if they're poor enough to be attracted to that kind of work - who is going to give up their home for short-term work? Only those folks who don't have any roots put down; that is, people who are already travellers of some kind.

Longer-term agricultural work can attract people more easily, since they'll have an ongoing income and can put roots down.

No, they started pulling up just before hearing from the tower; click on the link at the bottom of the referenced page: "The full investigative update and other information about the incident are available online at: https://go.usa.gov/xRPFk​ " for more detail, including:

o At 2356:04 PDT, ACA759 reappeared on the local controller’s ASDE-X/ASSC display as it passed over the first airplane positioned on taxiway C.

o About 2.5 seconds after advancing the thrust levers, the minimum altitude recorded on the FDR was 59 ft agl.

o At 2356:10 PDT, the local controller directed ACA759 to go around. The airplane had already begun to climb at this point (see figure 4).

This means that if they hadn't acted until they heard from the tower, it would have almost certainly been a disaster.
I think only UK, Russia and Germany have an economy comparable to that of California.

California is a very typical example of how immigrants and why immigrants are so important. Pretty much bulk of California's riches come from start ups and companies founded by Immigrants.

Also California is an exception that so much good talent shows up every single year, year after year. Its not that hard for a state to match the economy of other powerful nations if the best students, from the best universities of every single country on earth show up with aim of doing good work. Progress happens so rapidly and at such scale because of disproportionate concentration of best of human race in a small place.

If the same goes to some other place in an another country, same results will happen there. And this can happen pretty quickly. Start ups are not that hard to do these days.
California is the most populous state. Most Americans treat Canada like it's some uninhabited wasteland, which is somewhat untrue. There are parts of Canada which are less populated but there are also densely populated parts which are comparable to the USA.

Anyway, Americans will say "How can Canada become an education superpower when California has the same population?" to which I say, that's a disingenuous comparison. How can Boston become an education superpower if China has 500x the population? To which Americans will say "MIT and Harvard", To which I will say "Waterloo, Toronto, and McGill."

Obviously I'm being slightly facetious, I'm just trying to illustrate how population != educational excellence.

In the typical sense, Canada will not become an economic superpower. However, countries can also posess cultural capital and I think Canada sets a great example by being the first country to have multiculturalism as a federal policy. The successful integration of citizens in a multicultural society will be viewed highly (and probably romanticized) by the citizens of other countries.

That's not true.

Those three combined are larger than Spain's economy.

Then you also have Iraq: $167b, Algeria: $160b Qatar: $156b, Morocco: $103b, Sudan $94b, etc.
especially considering that company employees around that age tend to socialize a lot within the company.

Yes. This is by design. You're not just joining a company, you're getting social belonging and a built-in set of drinking buddies. That is such a critical part of the deal, and such a universally acknowledged part of the deal, that it is not routinely described as part of the deal.
Could a similar trick be used by a company to screw over short sellers? Say by issuing a class of shares which are essentially worthless, forcing short sellers to buy it to cover their shorts? Or would a short seller simply "borrow" those shares as well?
Poison builds up in comb and honey from the agents required to treat mites. It's making beekeeping harder, and the relationship between bee keepers harder (e.g. People treat diseases out of sync with each other, messing up the treatment process as bees drift to each others hives, spreading disease). Pollination as a service is expensive and lastly, it's a bit sad walking past a feral colony that's been there many years and seeing it dead.

I would agree that the laws surrounding money laundering and terrorism financing in the EU are pretty heavy handed.

An example: a financial firm is to check the UBO (ultimate benificiary owner, i.e. the real person involved) at the other end of the deal, for all counterparties. You also should check for PEPs (politically exposed persons), which can be all kinds of things (think family members of notorious regimes). The thing is, for terrorism governments supply watchlists, for PEPs they don't. So most institutions use PEP-lists that they procure elsewhere, but don't really manage. So that's where funny things happen. These are laws where compliance is pretty hard to do guarantee.

In this case you getting a €20k financing from a UK-firm, with a (his responses are now downmodded, but that part was probably true) UBO that is pretty mindfull of his privacy and the whereabouts of his money you can't follow. You use that money to finance a particular Russian contractor, via a Dutch foundation. I don't think being compliant should be awefully hard, although it would entail some work. Note that the compliancy should fall on the bank, accountant and perhaps notary involved. I just added the reply to give Boudewijn a heads-up to be mindful.

All of this doesn't stop Dutch banks from financing coffeeshops with their roots massively in the locally illegal growing of cannabis. So go figure about the impact of these laws...
The one place I've used "this" outside the context of a class is when I built a monad as an object and decided to use set the "this" context to be the monad. So, for example "return/unit/pure" (or whatever you want to call it :-) ) is available as "this.return". In that way the functions passed to "bind" can be generic and still build the correct monad.

There are other ways to do it, but this struck me as the first time I had fiddled with "this" and felt that it was a reasonable idea.
