Yes, using personalized anthropomorphic terms is silly.

Except that behind the Great Toronto tech market there are real people, making decisions. At the government, at the investment, and at the management level.

And by and large those people have made decisions which see engineering talent here as a resource that they have to push the cost down on even if it means losing domestic talent to the US.

Part of this is accomplished by importing talent from abroad or exporting the work abroad, or underpaying when they can get away with it. It's not a surprise that locally developed talent leaves after graduation, when the industry is actively recruiting from abroad.

And part of this is relying on the percentage of talent hat simply will not or cannot consider moving abroad (people like myself).
Yeah the article describes this a bit confusingly. They do have access to the capital they raised, they just don't have control over the subsequent flow of capital in and out of these tokens. For example:

One source said an early investor who acquired a tranche of tokens at a price of $0.37 is actively seeking to sell for $1.30 — potentially a 3.5-fold increase for a token that hasn’t left the gate yet.

That sort of flipping (or "capital flow") isn't typically possible in startup fundraising because investors are restricted from selling their stock.

For a normal startup it would look bad if your investors wanted to sell their stock immediately because they would be signaling a lack of confidence in the future. For this Telegram ICO, it isn't quite the same, but some people might look at it as a bad sign in a similar way. To me, it is hard to tell what the underlying basis for any valuation of this ICO is.
AMD CPU Market Share Jumps 43% in April Steam Survey – But Did It Really?
Thank you for commenting.
One of the main differences is that I think 321 Analytics provides more functionalities "out-of-the-box". You don't have to install plugins, buy add-ons or something like that.
E.g. just the heatmap feature costs 199$/year for matomo.
With 321 Analytics you get the whole range of functionalities (as well as future updates) as one package without hidden costs or the need to extend the app with add-ons or plugins.
Furthermore I like to think that 321 Analytics is also a bit nicer in terms of UI.
Another advantage of 321 Analytics is the way the data is structured and how you can therefore filter that data.
You can pretty much create infinite numbers of filter combinations to get the exact insights that you want.

321 Analytics is not free. But I think a price of 50$ for the current product is not too expensive.
The annual renewal is just for further updates/support after the first year - it's impossible to sustain development otherwise. But you do not have to renew the license - you can terminate the renewal at any time.
I had a server get hit with this, lucky I have hourly snapshots. Was an old centos6 server, rebuilt it with 7, and put selinx on it.

Big problem I have is, I have no server-based IDS. Snort rules detected this drupal flaw and would have blocked it. With the web server using SSL, snort and suricata wont work as a host based IDS.

If anyone knows of a freeware server IPTables IDS for centos that uses snort rules, please share. The closest thing I could find was ETPLC.

The liberalness of Canada is overhyped. The reality is Canada is deeply conservative. It's possible to have universal health care and be conservative, that's only a oxymoron in the US.

To quote this excellent article[1]: "the default setting of the Canadian male: a dull but stern dad, who, under a facade of apparent normalcy and common sense, conceals a reserve of barely contained hostility toward anyone who might rock the boat. To these types, those who make a fuss are bothersome and ignorant at best, and probably dangerous and destructive too."

I was born in Canada. I went to school in Canada. Only once I moved to the US did I feel like I could express and be myself. That I am surrounded by people who think like I do and value the things I value. Dogmatic adherence to the way it's done, because change is dangerous is the default state of many Canadians. For those who it's not, well, you know them, they're already living in the US.

No, not at all. I view it similar to the classic Dropbox discussion. There were existing alternatives, but Dropbox took off because "it just worked" without having to use FTP and Linux. In this case, you eliminate the VPN step, by linking the router to your devices and using that single device to connect.

Secondly, with VPN, I first have to connect to the open network in order to activate the VPN. I also need to do it for each device I want to connect (phone, computer, tablet).

Can you provide articles comparing CRFs directly with LSTMs? Most articles on LSTMs don't actually compare against CRFs and an LSTM isn't a drop in replacement for a CRF. I haven't personally seen that neural networks have uniformly beaten CRFs on all tasks. E.g. [2] directly compares CRFs and an LSTM and the CRF achieves an F1 of 97.533 while the LSTM gets 97.848.

In fact, because of the competitiveness of CRFs there are many works that combine them with neural networks (e.g. [2])

I love the K&R, as a good example of a concise, well-explained, with exercises, introduction to a language. I measure every other programming book relative to K&R.

That said, I wish there was a 21st century update to the K&R book, to take into account improvements made the at least the C99 standard, maybe even C11, update the programming style a bit to avoid some of the more egregious risky behaviors (always use strncpy), and some coverage of the preprocessor. All of which while still maintaining the clarity of the original book.
Those are reasonable ideas, but they'll involve a lot of effort to move policy makers around. A simpler solution may be to rely on media sources that report a preferred reality. For instance:

I have been weighing making a move from Saskatchewan to New Brunswick. When I compare Regina to Fredericton (as an example) though, it seems like I must be missing something. On the surface, pay is generally better, the stacks/companies are more interesting, the location seems amazing, and comparable real estate is less than half.

I know that Regina->NB is dramatically different from Toronto->NB, but is there anything you wish you would have known??

Up to that point I was naive, thinking that Telegram would remain a simple messaging platform without the ambition to either raise money or make money at all - as it was the initial philosophy which attracted me to the platform in the first place.

Now I'm concerned that it will become a bloated software. I hope M. Durov will keep his vision of providing a simple messaging client that just work - because we desperately need one.
If investors sell at a loss, that shows a lack of confidence. Selling at a gain means the investor thinks the stock is plateauing (not growing as quickly as before), not necessarily bad if the stock already has a $billion valuation and other investors are looking for a lower return (lower risk?) investment than the the original investor.

An ICO is more like an IPO than a seed round, in terms of who buys in. And early investors / insiders quite commonly sell fine stocks shortly after IPO.

None of this is a comment on the quality of Telegram in particular.
If you want to call a lookup table a database I'm ok with that.
If I am understanding your problem correctly, I did that for a large American automotive electronics supplier back in the 1990s - though back then 30-40 megabytes of data was pretty big. We trained a bunch of American and Japanese engineers on how to do that, but I don't remember any Europeans.

I think I have an email address in my profile; feel free to send me something. I am fairly certain that your needs can be satisfied with existing Unix tools. Then again, the reason I worked on the problem in the 1990s was to free up engineer time so they could do more valuable things. A gui and other tools could be worth paying for if the bosses have that mindset.
On that note, I'm still waiting on a lightweight vim clone with a sane plugin/command system.

> that the entire paper was incredibly pretentious

Is it pretentious in it's writing style or it's topic?

Writing style wise it's a perfectly par-for-the-course humanities paper. It's not a blog entry, nor a letter to a friend. It's a formal academic humanities paper.

Topic wise, it's discussing aesthetics. There are plenty of places for criticizing the authors aesthetic arguments (in a formal manner), but in terms of writing about the topics and their relation to aesthetics the author does a perfectly fine job touching on the usual points.

So I'm confused as to how the paper could be pretentious. He isn't making the claim that the only way to achieve aesthetic pleasure is to partake in his particular hobbies, or to argue for some idealized version of these hobbies. He's not glorifying programming, jazz or martial arts as being anything other than rule based frameworks with room for exceptions and growth. He isn't making strong exclusionary arguments in regards to other languages. Nor does he make any claim that he is special, or that his introspection is special or unique.

So if reading a perfectly standard academic humanities paper leads you to think it's incredibly pretentious, then that says something of the beholder.
Is the very competitive salary over 300k USD?

That's what's competitive in the Bay Area or Seattle for senior talent. While there are benefits to Canada as you mentioned, for a lot of people they don't make up a 50% pay cut.
Income taxes BC <> CA are pretty similar, but other taxes aren't. Gas is the equivalent of $6/gal in Canada right now (due to taxes), sales tax is 12% and a lot of products (electronics, etc) are just generally more expensive in Canada.
That's a very different thing than the claim that human language is "still primarily a body/gesture language", which is what I was arguing against.
I've been involved in many (failed) startups. I'm actually going through the same situation you're going through right now. We have some pilots but the money isn't raining from the heavens yet.

I definitely agree with the suggestions here to take some time off. Sometimes, especially when you've been living and breathing this stuff for 9 months, you need some time away to rejuvenate. I did that a few years ago with a trip to Nicaragua when I felt like I couldn't ship the product I was working on. After a week of not thinking about it we went on to shipping the product and moving our production line to China. The startup still failed in the end (for other wonderful reasons) but that introspection time is 110% worth it.

One thing that resonated with me recently was to keep your network up. If you fail you fail but you'll have a group of people willing to help you out if and when it happens. If you continue and then thrive you'll still have a great support network when the stress hits hard.

A friend said it well on a recent episode of the $100 MBA Podcast. https://100mba.net/mba973/

Also, remember sometimes the failures are great insights into what is working and what isn't working. If you have had this many potential clients at this point nothing says that there aren't more out there that you can surprise, delight and serve.

Best of luck.

Canadian tech worker here. Base salary is 120k CAD in Calgary which is far above market rate but I am educated, experienced etc. That is 93k USD.

It falls on deaf ears though, 120k CAD is a good income, I can afford a house, cars, no debts etc so there is very little understanding from others how I could not be satisfied with pay.

Is Canada really facing a brain drain?
Canadian living in the US: in my experience Canadian health care is as good or better than in the US.

Canadian living in US as well. The one thing I've noticed is the choice of healthcare in the US (for those with good insurance). Have cancer? Pick the best hospital you can find in the area. In Canada, you might live next to a world-class institute or it might just be a regular hospital. That's where you go.

But yes, healthcare in Canada is very good. The other thing I would call out is that experimental/cutting edge technology is often available in the US before Canada.
Why is there a tone of respect/admiration around scams like this but when a small startup founder makes a less-than-criminal mistake (eg lendedu) HN users want their heads on a stake?

A lot of Canada's GDP seems to come from mining, and some of it seems to come from places that could be disrupted by technology or ecological concerns, so I'm not surprised at resistance to disruption.
There actually isn't any reason STM or NXP or whatever ARM vendor couldn't provide AVR-like usability and awesome libc. For example the assembly blobs used on most STM32s are very simple.

It's simply that they want to push people to their propietary IDEs (to increase vendor lock in). STM used to provide an okayish libc implementation but then decided to bury it inside CUBE (MX).

If your design becomes complicated enough sure go ahead and change the startup code. But that's quite a small portion of all uses and for those we should have AVR like ease of use.
Oni is Electron based. But since it uses neovim as its backend and a canvas based renderer the performance is actually very good.

Another explanation is that a lot of people made a lot of money by "investing" in bitcoin early, and may be constantly looking to parlay those gains into something even bigger.

If you spent $1000 on BTC 5 years ago, you now have ~$100k of bitcoin. So why not let $30k ride on telegram ICO exploding and getting it up to a million?

I use Safari. Whenever I go to Medium, I get this error: "Safari Web Content quite unexpectedly." I can eventually get this to go away by reloading the page several times.

Once the problem is gone it stays gone on subsequent reloads, but if I close the browser window and re-open it, the problem recurs. Medium is the only site on which I see this problem.
