AFAIK only if you ignore a bunch of Latin and Greek phonetics.

The <ph> was an aspirated /p/ before it was an /f/.

The Romans said <v> as a /w/ sound.

Maybe someone can correct me but I don't think an [i] to [a] change or vice-versa is that common in Latin derivates.

If you're saying "silvia sounds like salvia", maybe we should also conclude the Latin word for "forest" also derives from that? But the etymologies are actually totally different in that case, the similarity is just a coincidence.
Which language barrier?

There's a fair share of Anglo QCs that will keep speaking English and everything will still work (be workable) in English.

It's not hard to learn French to a day to day level though.
Facebook is in the ad and data selling business (although they of course insist on selling ads only, no data. don't believe them). People put tons of sensitive data into Dropbox backed up accounts like financial documents (financial plans, tax calculations, etc), medical letters, correspondence with employers, holiday plans, etc. Tons of entities would pay lots of money for access to that kind of data.
Using a single experience to invalidate a whole country as a place to have a competitive compensation is a bit unfair. Am sure you can find people paying even less than that for lead web developers in the USA.

If you look at levels.fyi Amazon seems to be paying around 180k TC for SD2 in Vancouver. I would rather live in Vancouver with 180K than in the US with 250k.

(Am talking local currencies as when I am living in a country I spend the money in local currency.)

The AWS web UI is a trainwreck by design. Amazon doesn't want to spend a penny more on it than the bare minimum, and the APIs and CLI tools (which are the intended entry points for all serious customers) do the job exceedingly well.

'Software error' causes CDC biosafety level 4 lab incident (2016)
Holy shit.

Not only is that one of the worst-performing SQL queries I've ever seen, the fact that it's being emitted as part of an error message, and clearly not parameterized, is absolutely shocking.

Did a little digging. This[0] is the website of the author of the app allegedly used in the caucusing. And oh boy:

* HTTP

* Copyright 2014

* Half of the showcased examples are broken links

* Weird obsession with assuring that their development is not done by "non-English speakers"

* I'm pretty sure it's just one guy (the VoterClick training videos[1] are done out of his house?)

* I won't even comment on the quality of everything else I'm seeing, my confidence that a functionally sound app could be produced by this firm is already at zero

Someone tell me the caucus administrators were not actually using this? This feels like a fever dream.

I had employed that utility function, until I realized that I have no regrets over any of my past actions, even dumb ones. The past is the past.

I'm not sure when I adopted this mentality. Perhaps after the death of my mother.

Minimizing regret makes no sense, unless you know that regret will consume your thoughts when older. I'm nearing 40 and I'm already at the point where I can't do many of the things I took for granted (e.g., find a romantic partner easily, feel energized enough to be with friends, have heaps of time to be with my dad), but I don't find myself saying "gosh, I wish I had done this and that back then when I could." Even with my mother. There are some things I wish I could have said. But those thoughts don't consume me. It seems pointless to dwell on the past. Instead, I cherish it like a treasure. Like an old hard drive. I don't wish any sequence of bits was any different. It is what it is.

I did the thing that I considered right at the time, and while I can see that many of my decisions were incredibly stupid, I don't regret them one bit.

I find myself needing a better utility function these days to guide my life, but I haven't found it yet. Suggestions welcome.
Well that's not the point of damages. Compensatory damages are paid the the person that suffered in compensation of the suffering caused. Punitive damages are punishment. Remedial action isn't always ordered (You can always roll the dice on enforcement again, and probably get even worse punitive damages for being a repeat offender.), but remedial action is always separate, and it's not up the court to decide how much you're going to spend on compliance. That's your job.

I don't know, does making enough to expand mean they can spare 100k just for renovations? That, and the article specifically mentions the people that file these lawsuits are grabbing for money.

I'm all for making things more accessible but these sort of cases are exactly what makes people less sympathetic and willing to help.
This google review for the attorney mentioned in that article is heartbreaking

Dear Tanya Moore, you don't know me, but I've been following your exploitation of small business owners across the Bay Area for some time after you sued my parent's Mom & Pop copy shop for minor ADA infractions. They never recovered financially. From there followed a divorce and subsequent estrangement from both their children after unbearable drama and suffering. Our family has never been the same since you and Robert Kalani put a cloud over our lives. I want you to know what kind of chain reaction your actions and how you chose to use your law degree caused. Your aggressive tactics on small business owners who are already barely surviving is frankly despicable and your immoral decisions have negatively affected approximately 30+ people in just this one case. It looks like your day of reckoning has recently come in July '19 and I hope legislative changes follow as well.

In the plain simple fact that it reduces competition.

If you get squashed by virtue of clout then competition gets eliminated.
If get bought out to avoid getting squashed then potential competition gets eliminated.
Or you don't bother to compete and there's no competition to begin with.
It really depends on many factors. New grads? Sure, who wouldn't move to Cali from Canada. Married, kids, spouse working in non tech? Well, ya, staying in Canada is a lot better if one earner can get a high paying tech salary that's becoming more common now.
> Even totally confiscating that income and redirecting it to the bottom 99% would only increase income for the bottom 99% by 5.5%.

Your unstated assumptions are that capital gains are the entirety of value and this is a zero-sum game. I posit that CEOs and the 1% are playing[0] a negative-sum game by shipping jobs overseas and underpaying their workers. Even though it is a net-loss to the system, their incentives are such that they defect at every turn since they gain more from a "loss".

[0] All shareholders benefit, not just the 1% - but the lower segments don't gain as much, and lose in their non-shareholding, employee roles

> I assume Temkin/CAH owns some significant portion of Clickhole

Yes, 60% because they gave the other 40% to the existing employees. Considering it has 5 FT employees, that sounds like a pretty good deal and a great incentive to keep existing staff.
Just for perspective - green card wait for Indian tech workers in US is 100+ years. In Canada, you can permanent residency even before you land there
Often in analytics you will create datasets which are an amalgamation of several upstream sources. For example, an Endangered Species database. You might have "wing length" and "number of eyes" as fields, and both of these need to be NULL for something like a sea urchin.

There's really no justification to avoid nulls as a principle.
>el.style.color

About my typo , I am not a native english speacker and words like query , queue , still, until are hard for me to remember when to double some letter, spell checker will help but jQuery is not in the dictionary and when I code I use $ and never the full name.

In my use case jQuery is the best tool and I am not sure why you need to contradict someone with daily experience , is so hard to admit that the API is nicer, that it fixes browser differences ? Do you lose some points or pride or other ego related stuff? Do you think you win some credit when you find a typo and use that to attack me? Can you explain what is happening in your mind when you type this ?

Go on that page and look at /is() pr /widthy() and not cherry pick stuff or incomplete implementation like you did for .css()

Rather expensive self-driving cars, with safety drivers have been driving around a very small part of Arizona, right?

That's not really that close to an affordable self-driving car that I can take overnight door to door from the bay area to the Los Angeles area while I sleep.

That may not be 50 years away, but it sure doesn't seem any nearer than 20 years. Progress towards something usable has been pretty slow, and the edge cases are going to be tricky.
Moved from the East Coast to the West Coast. The moving industry seriously needs some "disruptive technology". I don't think that a gig economy is the way to go but moving should not be this absurdly stressful.
Watson (the Jeopardy playing machine) really was an amazing demo for it's time (2010) and before the rise of neural networks in NLP it was one of the best demonstrations of a semi-practical system.

The "This is Watson" special edition journal[1] taught me more about traditional NLP pipelines than just about anything I've read before or since.

Firefox and lack of diveresity in the browser ecosystem?

Amazon has always had neutral PR and amazing customer service. They realized early on that they don't have to please the entire world, and acting "woke" won't actually get and retain customers. I'd say the approach has worked out for them pretty well.

> We don't negotiate with terrorists!

It's not like they're open to negotiation either. They only offer the game on their non-negotiable terms.

Fighting back without compromising is actually the only way to deal with these one-sided take-it-or-leave-it deals. It worked for obnoxious pop-up ads on the internet, it's likely to work for invasive ads and tracking and there's no reason to believe it wouldn't also work in this case.

> I want to install this game, except for the parts I don't like, even though they do what I want them to! It's wrong of them to include stuff I don't like in their thing I want to use!

Nothing wrong with any of this. If I don't like something, I should be able to get rid of it. It's software.

Anti-cheating software actually used to be optional. I used to have the option to host or search for servers with anti-cheating disabled. During installation, many games offered me the option to install the anti-cheating module. Battlefield 2 comes to mind.

Once installed and in use, it was still pretty invasive. However, it wasn't straight up forced on players like it is now.

> Freedom to choose what's running on your OS is the same freedom they have choosing to use kernel level anticheat.

People also have the freedom to get rid of the anti-cheating software and make it look like nothing's been tampered with. Banning someone who did this and proceeded to play without cheating would be a false positive. People are already getting banned for the crime of running an online game on Linux.
While I get what you mean, he's right: there's a line that's going to get drawn somewhere, like as not. Now where exactly is something beyond my ken but there are definitely things that will never be viable for the disabled.

In all honesty? I'd rather devote the resources to helping disabled people function fully (or near-fully) again. But that in of itself is sort of wishful thinking.
Don't over-fixate on one example. That's all these ideas are, just examples. Some may apply to what you're doing, some may not. You'll have to figure out the specifics on your own.

Even if you don't, it will probably not exist. Say, god forbid, you get diagnosed with cancer.

I moved to Toronto, then to SF. Thought I'd also share my anecdata here.

I used to make ~100k/yr CAD (75k/yr USD) when I was in TO around 6 years ago. I bought a house around 7 years ago for 550k. I did a remote stint for a Boulder company for a couple years (~120k/yr USD working from TO), then moved to SF (~200k/yr USD + ~100k/yr equity).

I'm a bit out of the loop w/ TO salaries nowadays, but your 170k CAD definitely seems to be on the very high end of the spectrum.

A few thoughts:

The biggest difference in pay comes from equity. ~100k/yr is pretty normal in SF big tech companies, whereas equity comp in TO is pretty much unheard of unless you're a partner in a company. Caveat: not all SF companies offer liquid equity, or even equity that is worth anything.

Taxes are higher for me working in SF (largely because salaries of comparable positions are higher in SF)

Living costs depend a lot on whether you have a spouse and/or kids. A bunkbed in SF goes for 1.6k/mo if you're single trying to save up. In TO, you can rent a cheap room for $600/mo. But for families: 2 bed condo is ~48k/yr USD, vs ~24k/yr in similar distance in TO. Another very important point: in SF, a foreigner spouse's ability to work can be extremely tricky (e.g. spouse in non-tech field would often not be able be get a work visa sponsorship at all). Canadians can get a TN visa relatively easily, but the H1B visa required for other foreigners isn't guaranteed. Green card timelines range from 2.5 years to virtually impossible to get. By comparison, getting a work visa in Canada is pretty straightforward, and the path to permanent residence is also relatively easy, regardless of country of origin.

Preschool costs ~28k/yr USD per kid in SF, vs ~18k/yr CAD (13k/yr USD)

Healthcare in SF costs me ~3.6k USD/yr base (plus copays/other fees depending on how frequently I actually use it) vs free in TO. Dental and vision costs are similar between SF and TO.

Goods generally cost less in SF. Milk costs ~$5/gallon USD in SF vs $10/4L CAD ($7 USD) in TO.

IMHO: SF is better for saving up while young, Toronto gets pretty attractive once you have a piggy bank to afford housing/build a family.

Assuming one byte per character, you'd have to have a 17 character password before you're using multiple blocks. For any password shorter than that, this cipher is pretty much operating in ECB mode due to the re-used IV.
