Then just apply for Working Holiday in Canada again.

You were already successful to find skilled job before, so you will be able to get it again. And being physically here with open work permit makes things much easier.

Then you can apply for Young Professional which is very little hassle for your employer and you will get 2nd year easily.

And during this 2 years you would apply for Express Entry as soon as you are eligible. You apply for FSW for which you should be eligible already or for CEC when you have 1 year experience in Canada. If you don't have enough points for EE then there are other programs like PNP.

It would be really bad luck if you couldn't get, or be in the process of getting permanent residency during that time. When you have job in IT, it's quite straightforward to get PR.

Also, when looking for job, never mention word "sponsoring". When recruiter asks you about your visa you will say that you have WH for a year, already lined up YP for 2nd year and applying for PR as soon you are employed. Visas are not a problem here.
I've a different question: why talk about necessity? Not all things that are, are "necessary". Also, necessity has a hint of teleology, which brings along its own host of issues.

It may just be a feature of this Universe, gradually being uncovered.
The article doesn't really go into the thieves' backgrounds at all strangely enough. How did Katana end up in the bank heist business? How did he acquire the skills to turn making fake bank transactions into an "art"? I always wonder about the kind of person who ends up in these criminal dealings and where they come from.
To be contrarian - Facebook is transferring its own user base to Instagram at a quarterly rate which is convenient to shadow Snapchat. The people I see there aren't much different than the ones on FB every month. FB is notifying me that, every single friend on FB is now on Instagram.

My likes on Instagram aren't shown to my followers - (I hope ) and that's the main difference which affects my behavior. Likes on instagram are cheap, like a casual double tap. On FB or LinkedIn they're expensive.
Facebook acquiring Instagram (good move)

Where do you see me defending that book? I haven't ever read it. I am making fun of looking back 3 decades and judging it with our current knowledge. What you can do in 10s for $0.001 now took often half a year and millions of $ to accomplish back then, if ever. It's just ridiculous to get offended by some book that didn't get it perfectly right and was likely used by smart readers as an exercise of recognizing incorrect approaches. Do you really think there was some central authority giving approvals to computing books?

Do you often make fun of ridiculous movies from 30s?
Sure it's always the case but not everyone does it. Most personal finance advice is based on the assumption that recessions are inevitable and people should prepare for them, in this case especially if they are likely to occur within 4 years.

China has completely swallowed the WTO. Letting it in was one of the biggest mistakes in history, it has completely gamed the system. The goodwill and ethics have been swamped. China makes frivolous litigation to slow down the entire process and has spent years and billions learning how to completely game it. Even when the WTO rules against China, it is many years after the fact and the competition is already dead and China has taken over the market share.

Appart from nixies, I also love VFDs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display) , but, as of today, the only options seem to be Noritake (pretty nice quality in my little experience), and Matrix Orbital (can't talk about them).

There are some Noritakes which are pin-compatible with hd44780 controllers, so I've used them to substitute older LCD displays, and they look great!
I was able to build a legitimate business that improves people's lives. In order to make my product discoverable, I had to spend some money on advertising (not on Facebook in particular). There was no other reliable way to reach my target audience.

I have also bought many products from other businesses that have made my life better. In most instances, I have only become aware of these products because these businesses have spent money on ad campaigns.
I keep hearing (anecdotally, of course), that people are starting to prefer Instagram because long form discussions are more difficult there. They seem to be seeking an escape from the news.

Fair point about the event planning ... if FB were to cross-launch the sane event planning DB on instagram and whatsapp, I suspect that would be pretty much a killer app.

The oldest domain is still going strong http://nordu.net

NORDUnet is a collaboration between the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) of the five Nordic countries; Denmark (DeIC), Iceland (RHnet), Norway (UNINETT), Sweden (SUNET), and Finland (Funet). The Nordic region (five countries and three autonomous areas) has a population of 25 million, 9 official languages, and a strong tradition of collaboration. Together, the countries form the world’s 11th largest economy.

NORDUnet was founded in 1985 as a result of the NORDUNET programme and is jointly owned by the five Nordic countries. Each of the Nordic NRENs has a seat on the board and share the base costs according to the country GDP.

NORDUnet operates a world-class network and e-infrastructure service for the Nordic R&E community. The five NRENs develop and operate the national research network infrastructures, connecting more than 400 research & education institutions with more than 1.2 million users.

Maybe he meant indictments? The US is one of the few places that has Grand Jury Indictments. Most regions leave that up to the prosecutor.
Absolutely. With a professional judge (NOT an elected judge!), you're in the hands of someone with years of training in law and justice. With a jury, you've got 12 yahoos off the street who don't know anything about the law or the tricks lawyers play, let alone what their own rights and obligations are. That's why American criminal court cases are "battles"

Compared to German proceedings, juries are only marginally better than trial by ordeal.
This doesn't mean that Uber hasn't been operating in London. It was refused a new license last year but was allowed to keep going pending the decision reported here (in effect an appeal)
That would be an incorrect understanding of the ruling and a misapplication of legal logic.

Wickard is limited to cases where there is a tangible good, produced and sold as part of an interstate market. Subsequent cases have limited the scope of Wickard further than that--Lopez held that the transaction or good regulated must actually be a part of an interstate market or would have a direct and discernable impact on the interstate market for the regulated good or transaction.

In the case of air--there are already markets for air in the context of medical treatment and transportation (i.e., airplanes). But breathing is not a transaction since there is no economic exchange nor is it even a voluntary act. Even if breathing could be treated as a transaction, the breathing of uncontained air is one of the few goods that can be classified as purely local (the only other physical goods I can think of that are purely local are real estate and improvements to real estate because they are immovable). Moreover--as breathing is currently free--Congress would have to establish that a market for breathable uncontained air could exist in a meaningful sense.

However, the ICC has been used to regulate water...Theoretically it could even be extended to regulating the act of drinking water that has or would flow through multiple states, but any such attempt would likely not receive sufficient support in Congress to become law, and any court ruling on this point would likely result in a law overruling the decision.
Fantastic resource.

Most people can tell the difference between /naʊ/ and /nɑt/. I mean, just look at them... one ends with a consonant, one doesn't, and the vowels are reasonably different.

The difference here is between /faɪl/ and /ˈfaɪəɹ/, which is much more subtle. It comes down to the difference between /l/ and /əɹ/. The [ə] is an uncommon vowel in languages, unstressed, and mostly subsumed by nearby sounds. And worse, more than a billion people on the planet grew up speaking a language which doesn't distinguish the [l] and [ɹ] sounds (they're both approximants with only slight differences in articulation). So when you say "file" or "fire" these people can't distinguish which one you're saying, and when they say it they use something like the tap [ɾ] or retroflex [ɻ] instead, both of which sound ambiguous to native English speakers. Or some non-native speakers will use [l] exclusively, for both /l/ and /ɹ/.

^ Very true; piracy became huge because it was free (greed) and easy (sloth), but streaming services like Spotify and Netflix changed those dynamics; it made it easier and safer (sloth), at the expense of making it cost some money, but still not as much as taking a gamble on e.g. buying a CD would.

Of course, it came at the expense of artists, who aren't making as much off of Spotify as they did off of album sales. Well, not the top X artists anyway, I like to think that the artists that used to be in the long tail are now doing pretty well for themselves. Relatively.

It's a higher up-front investment, but when you have the extension (which is super easy to install), you can automatically collect a ton of data, potentially without the user even doing much work.
It also depends on your investment timeline here. Facebook and other social media properties have historically traded at super low multiples compared to other companies with similar growth/profits. Facebook is trading at 15x it's projected 2020 earnings. That's extraordinarily low compared to any other tech giant. I'd say the risks of one-day being usurped are already substantially factored in.

That said, and having worked on a complex WebGL project myself where my colleagues were complaining all the time how bad WebGL is (sorry, won't search the references for that though :P), I wonder how there can possibly be any future for it.

How do you prevent employees from leaving with company data if one copies all the sensitive data onto a pen drive? Does security check the pen drives too? It's actually ridiculous to cast aspersion on the security when their job is to prevent threats.

> You think it's appropriate for every employee to be searched before entering a facility because there might be a "terror attack"? How many IT workers are there in the country, how many attacks have occurred in IT offices, and how many attacks have been prevented by searching employees bags?

It just takes one attack to lose a loved one and put a family in complete disarray. In India there have been multiple terror threats to software companies in the past decade alone. You forget that the agencies work 24/7 preventing terror plots and if even one of them slips through it would be disaster for everyone involved. Multi layered security is the only way to thwart terror plots. Here are few examples:

1. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-terror-plot-against-inf...

2. http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/jan/05blore.htm

3. https://www.indiatoday.in/latest-headlines/story/infosys-wip...

You can use logic and statistics to argue about probability of terror threats but none of your statistics takes into account the mental health or the radical motivation of an individual/group.

> I really hope this is sarcasm... You think it's appropriate for every employee to be searched before entering a facility because there might be a "terror attack"?

EDIT: I am not being sarcastic. I am being a realist. In an ideal world I wouldn't want any sort of security. But we don't live in an ideal world.
besides everything already said by Jtsummers:

- Data structures were fundamental before ( perl's hashes-of-arrays-of-hashes-of-hashes, anyone ? ) and with the rediscovered FP paradigm, those are fundamental again. Once you figure the proper data model, the algorithm becomes much clearer ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0131997467/ )

- Recursion, which importance is very well discussed on this blog post: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/12/29/the-perils-of-java...

- Graph theory also was invaluable over the years ( http://www.maths.lse.ac.uk/Personal/jozef/LTCC/Graph_Theory_... and https://freevideolectures.com/course/3019/graph-theory ).

( hope that helps... )
How to write better code
I'm curious whether this is backed by Google File System (https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...), or something else.
Yeah, they only show me stuff I would have wanted if I knew it existed, which for me is the essence of discovery. If it was limited to this and only the HQ stuff, not the I SEE YOU WENT TO WEBSITE SO HERES THEIR BANNER AD FOR THE NEXT MONTH stuff.
Ads aren't win-win. They're taking up the space of the content I want to see. Accidentally clicking on them sends some of my personalized data to who-knows-where.
They often run code not vetted by the site owner, making them a security risk. Getting a personalized ad is hardly a "win". It's like stepping on a piece of poop that is your favorite color.

(I'm fine with ad-supported products, but I see it as a necessary evil of the transaction, not as a win).
Yes, it definitely seems much harder. The BASIC guide that came with my Texas Instruments TI99/4A was my first programming book!
Glad you liked it! Unfortunately there was going to be a video but it didn't happen for technical reasons. I'd love to have the opportunity to do another spin of that talk.

Of course I had to pick and choose, and Metafont is near and dear to my heart, but since the audience for this was mostly humanities rather than a more technical crowd, it didn't make the final cut.
> Things take much more energy to PRODUCE than to dispose of.

Right. Plastic takes a lot more energy to produce than cucumbers (and today a large portion of plastic production is non-renewable energy, compared to the solar that grows cucumbers). Plastic production also results in much more c02 byproduct than the production of cucumbers.

The 'evidence' against cucumbers above was to count the c02 byproduct of transporting the cucumbers, not how much c02 they give off while growing. The same applies to all the plastics in the grocery store too, they also have to be transported, so that argument is completely moot. If you want to reduce c02, it's irrelevant to pit veggies against plastic, we simply need to make vehicles more efficient. BTW, I'm not arguing against the paper; if you read the paper's abstract, that exactly the conclusion they come to as well. It seems like @jdietrich is either confused about what it's saying, or is trying to spin or cloud the issue.

If you remove the argument of transportation from the equation, plants are a net negative in c02 emissions. Plants absorb more c02 than they produce. The more plants we grow, the more c02 we save. Not so for plastic, which produces 3-6 kg of c02 per kg of plastic in the production of plastic alone, not counting the transportation.

> Agriculture is incredibly energy, land, and water intensive.

Right. So what? This sentence seems to completely misunderstand that using energy (the sun), land, and water to grow food is environmentally friendly because it's renewable. All the energy and land and water we use to grow plants we get to keep using over and over again with positive environmental benefits.

It's our man-made processes, especially the ones that burn fossil fuels, that are causing almost all the problems we have; cars, machines, plastic production, etc.. c02-wise, farm equipment is a small portion of that, transportation is a much large piece of the pie.
