Brain drain is not specific to Canada, it affects American cities outside the valley as well.
You know what else was a fad...I mean cultural phenomenon? The Wii.

This is great for gaming. Fortnite has driven twitch viewers to crazy new heights and while most of them will never come back (check wii sales against the most popular game franchises on the Wii’s sales) some percentage will have found their new thing and the ecosystem will be stronger for having weathered the crashing wave.

now I think that you are one of the convo parties. it's not even funny anymore, you haven't replied to any of my commments. have not even asked a single question. if it's you, I'm gonna tell you that the public will judge whether I've broken your trust, which public you may ask? I've asked that question in an LJ of a person who I trust. This is how TRUST is passed along

> They tried that a few times. I know because I was an advisor to one of the biggest incubators in Canada. The government even gives cash grants to startups.

This is news to me. I tried have tried talking to an incubator several times and every time they tell me to come back when I have $10k/mo in revenue. Sorry but I have a full time job and I can't grow a business to 10k/mo without some help. Seems to me like they didn't try very hard.
If I have the choice between working somewhere where my colleague thinks he has the right to rape me if I don't sleep with him vs a place where my colleagues are respectful and have my back, where do you think I'll choose to work? And if I don't have a choice of where to work, do you think I'll be able to do my best work with that sort of threat present?

It's not just about comfort (though personally I do think people have a right to a workplace where there coworkers would defend them against bodily harm rather than claim a right to inflict it). It's also about what's best for the business.

Was this one of the infamous “?” emails?
So true. I'll give you a poignant example... I was a Canadian exchange student at a California University. I was walking from one class to another when I noticed somebody on a skateboard coming my way on the path.

Just as he was passing I realize it was one of my professors. That surprised me and I turned my head as he went by to take it in. But what surprised me more was that I was the only person who gave a shit that a 50-year-old guy in dress pants and a sweater just road past on a skateboard. That's when I first realized people were much more open-minded.

It took me about 10 years after University to move back to California and I can't imagine I'll ever move away.

Socially liberal in some ways, but not in everything. 4 states decriminalized and/or legalized marijuana before any Canadian provinces. 2 of them did it years before Canada was even planning to do it. That is very telling of the two cultures.

This is both old (they no longer get all metadata, just the 500 million requested as described in today's article) and contradicts GGP's claim.

No, I was just complaining about AT&T (although maybe T-Mobile did the same). I had an EVO 4G, that thing was blinding fast whenever I got a WiMax signal.

H1Z1 and DayZ were clearly not in any way inspired by the Japanese movie "Battle Royal", which PUBG was, and which Fornite literally named itself after.

That being said, both the games you reference, their Battle Royale mode was actually made by the creator of PUBG:

> Brendan Greene, also known as PLAYERUNKNOWN, is the creator of the Battle Royale mod that started in the DayZ mod for Arma 2. Recently, Battle Royale has been licensed by SOE and made an official game mode in H1Z1

Source: https://www.pcgamer.com/battle-royale-modder-brendan-greene-...

So your reference to those actually support my point.
The system would also need to detect which direction the traffic was going. In morning rush hour, outbound would be much heaver than inbound (of your neighborhood) so it would typically be unidirectional.

Which predecessor is PUBG exactly like? PUBG is the originator of the Battle Royale type, unless you count the Japanese movie Battle Royale as a predecessor.
I have to say, Brandon, in spite of all of my criticisms in other comments under this larger thread, that I agree with you.

Ambition toward innovation is not tightly coupled with remuneration here, but it does not mean that Canada is averse to innovation. America has loved that myth since the Avro Arrow and has sought to suppress it after that, or at least it can seem that way.

It's not just western Canada, though western Canada is no small contributor (after having lived in Alberta, and loving and longing for return to BC but originating from rural Ontario and now living in the "center of the universe"/Toronto).

I grew up with farmers, and they were/are consistently more liberal in all regards than what I hear in American news and forums. Those were the first places I saw solar panels and wind farms popping up to contribute to the larger energy grid as well as supplement extraneous local power consumption by isolating supplies to certain devices. They never seemed to care so much about asserting their opinions about how society should run except that people should generally treat each other with decency no matter who you are. I liked that. I could go on for hours. It's not to say conservative types (as expressed in this thread—against change) exist, nor other groups of social conservatives, but they don't occupy the majority. That's another subject altogether...

I also agree that being questioned isn't a problem. It can reach a severely challenging point, but most decent people will hear you out as well. It's a challenge— it challenges you to be better. Just as you've said.

Refining an idea isn't a problem, nor is it censorship, nor is it an aversion to innovation. It's fundamental to science.

I only wanted to speak up because of the majority comments opposing your own.
My only point is that the cultural phenomenon was started by PUBG. Fortnite's free Battle Royale mode just happened to be free.
People that are great at sales are very rare, though. And people that are great at sales and have great platform skills are the ones who make it past director level to the executive suite.

Engineers do well when they spot such people early and make friends with them. "Early" is important, because by the time they make it to the executive suite, they (hopefully) already have trusted "technical advisers" who will tell them when their idea sucks before it gets sold and propagated throughout the organization. If they don't, then they will rely on their secret sales intuition and their defenses against common sense will be impenetrable.

This is usually the highest executive function of engineers / "technical advisers" in large enterprises. Not so glamorous, but critical to the health of any organization.
I wouldn't be able to stand it. The only thing that combats the suck of going to an office every day is having something to do to make the time pass. I would go insane.
Yes. Now imagine being at a design review meeting with someone with the “gift” of being able to crank out these truthy quips as justifications. If they happen to be right, great. But if not, you are at their mercy.
What's Stopping Women from Landing Interviews? Their 'A' Grades, Says Study
Indeed. That was Clapper's cover for his perjury in front of Congress: "collected" records are labeled as such only after they are "returned as part of queries" -- which is not what people usually think "collected" means. Any normal person would consider all records potentially subject to queries have already been "collected" for that end, and should be counted as such.
On the parallelism side, it might bring ideas to look at languages attempting it so far. IBM's X10, Cray's Chapel, and Taft's ParaSail come to mind.

These are fair points. Mario maker IMO wouldn't be a phenomena without the original Mario so I don't consider it a counter example. But DOTA is fair enough. I forgot that one.

I would say that franchising/sequels reflect the fact that if you have content which is just barely sub-viral you can pump money into marketing to get virality to get more money. Basically a controlled fission reaction instead of an explosion.

Cheap penicillin is very very valuable but precisely because it is cheap. Expensive penicillin would be more valuable per individual, but less valuable overall.
And this is why so many people born into money have no idea how fortunate they are compared to everyone else in the world.
What’s scary is the potential of their models and ad targeting infrastructure used to monitor populations and identify dissenters in other countries. Given how tightly connected Google is to the CIA and NSA I would assume this is already happening.
I get the same feeling hearing 'emotional information' about the imperfections inherent in the film development process as I do about hearing 'warmth' in vinyl records. If you can produce a better print from using the negatives, great, but digitize it. Those negatives are only going to last so long. Add your warmth and emotion in After Effects.

No, expensive penicillin would be less valuable per individual, unless possession of penicillin turned into a status symbol.

Whether it would be more or less valuable "overall" depends on how you define overall value.
Another good point: the NSA is allowed to keep encrypted data indefinitely, warrantlessly. Decryptions don't count as data - they're analysis of legally-stored encrypted info.

The A5/1 cipher has been totally pwned, without even needing a crib, but it's still used for voice traffic. The NSA is allowed to store and decrypt all of this, AFAICT, through this loophole.

But was this 850 M from crypto people diversifying their portfolio (for example BTC for TON?) The filing says USD but does that mean the transactions were carried out in USD or worth 850 M at the time according to the coin value of the exchanged currencies?

This is actually the reason that 1.1.1.1 gets so much traffic. People just assume it's not in use and can be abused a bit. Once it's available on the internet then all that excess traffic that was going nowhere gets transferred there.

Still, it looks more like malice since there are other addresses besides 1.1.1.1 that are also blocked.

Is GDPR in this rant for more than buzzword reasons? I don't understand its relevancy to 'taking back control' when its an empowerment tool: a mechanism to demand your privacy back, not a roadblock. If you meant it to be a force-for-good I think you needed to say more about it.

GDPR is a tool to tell data holders to wipe you off the public view. It might or might not help you wipe off the private view, "it depends"

But the overall message, own your own, is pretty good. It's just significantly harder to get spamfilter as good as postini if you walk off gmail.

For "Unwanted Expansion" the answer is technically correct but I am displeased that it doesn't prove there wont be any infinite loops. Whereas analyzing invariant in the tree should prove that.

For Boxes in Boxes it says "But, if we take ε to be huge", but how big is huge, and what if it isn't huge? Seems like something in the proof is being hand waved over.

Yes, that’s “value” in an important sense. But people rarely add in the opportunity cost.

We make decisions every week about what can be done based on the tech debt involved. Every time we punt on an improvement, that’s a real cost. These boondoggles that forever wall off parts of the product as immutable have a cost week after week. What’s the net value after you subtract that cost? Is there any?

Laudible, but I worry about when this de-facto replaces social services by the state. No, thats not the goal. The goal is to level out society by using taxes like we always used to. Charity is toxic at the social level, its at-will, and so basically used as an instrument of class control.

One for the programmers: what’s the most asinine bug you’ve ever encountered?
I totally believe this is a thing, so if I say that 'age' is a bad metaphor for read-write cycles, its not because I don't think scumbag manufacturers are recycling chips: It's because how often I read or write a cell, really doesn't linearly line up with 'time' except they both get more.

If I used that chip in an SSD for a ZFS ARC, its write cycles will be totally different in the time interval to if I use it as a desktop backup disk.

The US has always had eminent domain, and critical wartime projects are just about the least objectionable usage I can imagine. Unlike other situations where people dispute whether the taking is in the public interest, the only contentious issue would be assessing the fair-market value. And the price of the farm land compared to the immense financial resources available for the bomb make it likely the farmers were paid well.
The article makes the claim for the year 1850, and your claim is for the year 1860. There were more slaves in 1860 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1860_United_States_Census) than in 1850 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1850_United_States_Census)

In 1860 there were 3,953,761 slaves counted in the census.

In 2016, if you count everyone under probation and parole in addition to those in jail and prison, the number is 6,613,500 (https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cpus16.pdf)

If you assume 40% of them are black, like the article claims, the number comes out to 2,645,400. This is considerably less than the number of slaves in 1860, or 1850 for that matter.

If you have a source to back up your claim then you should post it. I'm actually curious what sources the author might have been using.

I don't think you're acting in bad faith, I think you just read that huffpost article and assumed it was correct. I just wanted to reply since you were curious about what you might have done wrong.
