The problem is Japan has been in a deflationary environment for so long that they've forgotten how to bump up a price and turned into a nation of misers.

I've witnessed first hand the collective hysteria when an ice cream company raised their prices by 10 yen[0] and also had to put up with coworkers banging on in excitement whenever 7-11 has an Onigiri sale dropping from 110 to 100 yen. Not to mention the queues stretching around the block when Yoshinoya cuts a buck and a half off their beef bowls.

My anecdotal evidence, based on looking in shop windows, is there's plenty of part time (arubaito) jobs on offer; the problem is young people are too smart to take them up on their pitiful 700 yen per hour offers, which in Tokyo barely cover your transport and lunch costs. And yet the businesses will continue to weep and wail and gnash their teeth because they can't find anyone. It's not rocket science.

Well there are entire fields of science dedicated to this.

It’s like asking someone to “prove philosophy”. It’s not quite the right question.
Interesting, I should have been clearer when I said not just no parens, but also just whitespace instead of any syntax characters. The none language uses both () and "". Sweet expressions use {}. And indent-clj uses () and [].
Unicode identifiers make me uncomfortable. I have no idea how I would type that circular one in the "sharp macro" section (short of copying and pasting), and I'm imagining seeing those missing-character boxes all over the place.

> Migrants coming to Canada, many from countries such as China, India and Pakistan, are often relatively well-educated and ambitious to see their children get into professional careers.

> Prof Jerrim says these families have an immigrant "hunger" to succeed, and their high expectations are likely to boost school results for their children.

Speaking from personal experience as a native Canadian, this can also motivate non-immigrant children to work harder. When half of your peers have an immigrant's work ethic it can be a real positive influence.

A lot of startups say explicitly that out of one side of their mouth while eating money with the other.
i'm not a pilot and have no idea what it looks like when landing a plane at night, so i really shouldn't be commenting here, but: the report says the one operational runway had 2400 ft of approach lighting that was functional. The disabled runway had no approach lighting, and presumably the taxiway didn't have any approach lighting because nobody should be approaching a taxiway. So yes, they were just "off by one", but they were off by one on a dataset of one.

Equality of opportunity is not measurable. Equality of outcome is. Given that we know some variables such as race, sex, and sexual preferences shouldn't affect outcome, we should look for equality of outcome without correlation with these variables.
I wonder how Snapchat's messaging metrics compare to Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp - if I had to guess, both easily squash Snapchat.

Airbnb s strategy : Don't offend the owner; he is providing our income. In our own 10 years of experience we had several complaints raised with Airbnb : They always sited with the host. Never added an inspection of places they advertise, no vetting , nothing. Relying entirely on comments and reviews from customers - and hosts. The system provides them with good income, they collect from both sides 15 %. So why bother / africasiaeuro
If there's no setup then why do I have to authenticate?
And they cut it extremely fine.

The final NTSB report will probably calculate this, but I'm guessing if they had waited another second or two before shoving those throttles forwards they would have hit a plane (or three).

Whats even more scary, is I get the impression that the pilots only shoved the throttles forwards because the tower told them to abort.
Why is Airbnb responsible for the action of criminals? Shall they ban each and everyone who gets accused of something without proof? Don't we have to police and justice system to sort such things out?
Investigators could not hear what the Air Canada captain and co-pilot said to each other during the aborted landing because their conversation was recorded over when the plane made other flights, starting with a San Francisco-to-Montreal trip the next morning. Recorders are required to capture only the last two hours of a plane’s flying time

I wonder what the procedure is in a near Miss like this. It looks like not enough of the 'process' to capture evidence kicked in soon enough. Judging by the photo and distances this looks like it was an imminent disaster, which hadn't been clear to me previously.

> Most unencrypted data will be data you can't read, due to there being absurd amounts of file formats and protocols

Well I sure couldn't read it, but the NSA could.

> How will you deal with new codecs? New network protocols?

With a massive staff and constant influx of money. I did say it would be expensive. Still, I think it's within the reach of state-level actors.

> Encrypted data is, unless the protocol is severely broken, almost indistinguishable from random data, which without context and knowledge of all file formats and protocols in the world, is indistinguishable from most real, unencrypted data.

Sure- context is a critical tool. I don't know why you stipulated "without context", though.

> Encrypted content can be hidden in a perfectly normal looking picture or video just fine. Look up steganography.

UNencrypted data can be hidden in the same way. I know what steganography is, and sure, the art of hiding data is a great way to hide data. Separate issue, though.

> Encrypted communication cannot be detected in any sane manner.

I think the facilities and manpower for detecting unauthorized use of encryption would indeed be insane, from several perspectives. And it would require a bunch of legislative support, too. But WITH legislative support, mandated back doors, ISPs that are cooperative, shitloads of manpower and money.... Yeah, I think it would be possible to detect encrypted traffic. Could a person who hadn't already attracted the attention of the "agencies" choose to hide small amounts of data in an innocuous file? Sure, but they could glue an SD card to a homing pigeon, too. I'm thinking more of PGP, SSL, VPNs, WhatsApp and the like.

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

It's not poised at all in fact. It has no chance of becoming a superpower or replacing the US. That's a very, very far fetched premise (might as well say Sweden).

Canada has 36 million people with a very slow population growth rate. They've added a mere 10 million in three decades. Their GDP hasn't net expanded since 2008 in dollar terms ($1.55t in 2008; $1.53t in 2016). By comparison, since 2008, the US has added annual economic output the size of three Canadas (~$4.5 trillion).

Unless you're projecting Canada will have a one million dollar GDP per capita equivalent in the future - ~20 years out - while the US somehow completely languishes (despite there being no evidence to support such an outcome). That's what it will take for Canada to become a superpower. It's impossible.
This is the kind of ideology that leads to trouble. If there is equality of opportunity, there will be equality of outcomes, at least on average. When you see inequality rising it is a serious clue that opportunities are not the same for everyone.

It makes perfect ironical sense too, we should have seen this coming. Developers are some of the best armchair economists, or like to think they are. Add in the libertarian political strain with some VC/startup evaluations and you've got what we have now: an inflated decentralized currency with a market run by a centralized tech company with infighting of developers (miners) over very shaky economics who have formed into political factions over technical decisions to make even worse economic decisions, all while the people who know whats going on profit massively.

the question in my mind is HOLY FUCK RAPE IS FUCKING AWFUL. act now to prevent the possibility of it happening again.

i'm sure folks here will say "but he's innocent until proven guilty. what about his airbnb income?" stop putting his concerns above the way more concerning impact of rape. stop putting his words above women's words. most women don't make shit up, just like most men don't kill women.

airbnb should absolutely do more. as we all should.

i hope she left a negative review.
It doesn't take much to see adverse selection at work, here. Men who accept lower salaries -- as salary equality more or less requires, during a certain interim period -- will disproportionately find themselves without mates, esteem, &c. Their influence will be correspondingly less. The men who figure out how to maintain higher salaries -- relative to other men, and to women -- will be the ones who most shape the communities they are a part of.
Yep, that's correct. And it's almost certainly a mixture of the two. I'm not saying there isn't sexism involved, i'm just saying that it's more likely to be on the side of socializing young girls into choosing less remunerative professions.

Why is AirBnB responsible for this? Rape is a criminal matter. It should be handled by the police. It's the job of the police and criminal justice system to adjudicate matters like these, not private companies.
I don't understand how Uber can be "just about money" if they spend more money campaigning against laws than it would cost to follow them? Sounds like it's more about not following laws than money?
This is nonsense. If you give 100 people the same starting point, you'll very likely end up with 100 different outcome.

Also, even if you have an "average" equality of outcome, you'll still find a small fraction of those left out screaming about inequality and how unfair the system has been to them.

Veganism as a means for eating disorders is pretty well known, but that is 1. A symptom of someone's sickly obsession with food and 2. Not really what I was talking about. Eating disorders by proxy would really be child abuse.

I have seen smart people go vegan and only eat salads with some occasional tofu and then conclude it isn't possible to be vegan since that apparently means "live off 500kcal/day".
Actually you're right. I think that's a fair point. It probably needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

It's only a race to the bottom because of artificially constrained housing supply. Housing in cities would be substantially cheaper for everyone if it weren't for NIMBYism and zoning laws. It's not AirBnB's fault for giving people the ability to rent their homes.

Why not do both? Stop using libraries as de-facto daytime homeless shelters, AND attack the problem at the source?

Non-paradoxically, I ALSO don't want to have to inspect the library bathrooms for loose needles or scary schizophrenics before letting my kid go in by themselves.
> totally forgetting the important role immigrants have played in the rich and success journey so far.

OOTH, being an immigrant in an unbuilt country where winter will kill you in 6 month if you do not get to work 24/7 building a shelter is different that being an immigrant in a fully developed country and collect welfare (which a lot of current "refugee" are doing).
Yes, Tesla receives an event notification (like GMs OnStar) and can also access the vehicle data recorder (Which is usually integrated with the airbag system on major auto manufacturer vehicles).

You cannot obtain access to this data directly, but law enforcement can make a legal request for it from Tesla. It registers speed, acceleration, braking, seat belt in use, etc.

I don't think GPS is accurate enough for that sort of thing, you'd need ground radar, working with onboard computers that understand which runway you're cleared for, etc. (I'm not a pilot, I'm speculating.)

If you read the Guardian article from planetjones' comment:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/aug/03/air-canada-...

Quoting:

The investigators said that as the Air Canada jet approached the taxiway just before midnight after a flight from Toronto, it was so far off course that it did not appear on a radar system used to prevent runway collisions.

The next paragraph states they are working on improving that.
The size of economy of California is comparable to that of Canada . How do foresee Canada overtaking the entire USA as an economic powerhouse ? And why is china considered not a competitor for superpower while Germany is ?
Speaking as a Canadian...

The U.S. still has ten times our population. With a population of just over 35 million, Canada is the world's 38th most populous country. That's a little over two Mumbai's. Perhaps Canada will become more influential in the years to come, but a superpower?

If you were simply referring to education, again, Canada is unlikely to compete with the U.S.'s ivy league in the near future. Our universities have higher standards than U.S. universities on average, but we lack both low-end crapiversities and truly elite institutions that can generate the kind of funding a U.S. ivy league university can. If you can't make it into the ivy league than a Canadian university is a great option, but if you can...

Our government isn't investing significantly more than the U.S. on research on a per capita basis, so the bulk of grant money in North America is still in the U.S.. Also, our tech sector is sluggish and poorly paid as compared to that of the U.S.. Lots of people like the idea of moving from the U.S. to Canada... until they find out they'll be making half as much for the same work!

No, Canada isn't poised to become a superpower anytime soon. The best we can hope for is improvement. We're going to see a lot of articles like this from U.S. authors because they're really not happy with their politics right now, nor should they be. However, the reality is that Canada is still a bit of a backwater. We're North America's Sweden. A nice place to live, but too small to really make a huge impact.

I got into systems programming mainly as a consequence of being a game developer -- when you write your own engines, you're forced to consider a hundred low-level details like memory layout, pipelining, threading, simulation, adding a scripting interface for your designers, cursing AMD when you run into GPU driver bugs, etc. There are a lifetime worth of interesting problems to solve in that area.

You make a good point that the financial decision-makers and the engineers are often not the same people at companies, and this adds to the disconnect in how open source is valued. What do you think about the ideas presented at the end of the article suggesting some ways to address this, e.g. companies setting aside a fund for open source that their developers could decide how to spend?

From the "money people" perspective it would likely be more of a marketing/branding/recruitment/staff engagement expense (because those are the budget lines where they'll see value for the investment) - but at the end of the day the important thing is supporting critical open source projects.
