Foreign buyers are a scapegoat in Canada. The real issue is that individuals/corporations with large capital bases are buying out many real estate properties, sitting on the properties for a few years for the value to appreciate, and then buying more properties with the additional capital gained by the real estate market going up. Real estate value is going up faster than mortgage rates which means you can expand you property holdings in perpetuity. It is basically a big game of monopoly which is unfolding in slow motion.

I firmly believe that housing is a social good first, and an investment vehicle second and so we should be taxing any property which is not the primary residence of the owner to equalize the playing field between those with a large capital base and middle class families who just want a stable place to live.
'Scrum Master' was a clever hack. You couldn't exactly fire the managers in most organizations. The concept of self-directed teams is scary to many people; but you can give managers something else to do.

I'm not saying there's an perfect answer for this. But signs that don't take basics of human psychology into account are flawed by design.

1) The lawmakers problem. People in positions of power tend do be a mix of corrupt, biased and stupid. I'm afraid there's no solution to that either.

But people can be:

- educated about the importance of some things;
- involved in the decision-making process.
--This-- is the point.

Green roofs would improve the temperature of our homes making to spend less in energy. We should build more, just by our own interest. They are nicer to see than just a roof also.
The bit about ZFS was a really flawed argument, saying it's just as complex but in an unavoidable way so that's fine for some reason:

> One could argue that ZFS is complex as well, but that is on the filesystem level, a level on which you cannot avoid complexity no matter what you do.
The courts deciding against his argument would only be probative on the question of corruption if you start from the presumption that his position is correct. Your post is entirely circular in its reasoning.
I made a new account just to ask this: 'MVC works really well and scales really well" Is this a joke? Do you have any professional iOS experience?

MVC is famous for scaling terribly on iOS and resulting in view controllers with thousands of lines. MVC is great for small apps. No need to overcomplicate things. But if you're building something bigger, you should look into using the right tool for the job. Don't blindly follow a popular pattern, but choose the right pattern to make the code easy to read, easy to test, and easy to modify.
The judgment isn't vague at all. It sets out, in 90 paragraphs, the legal and factual basis for the case, ruling much of it against the crown (mainly on the basis of delay) and some against Murray. And it goes through each criticised post and sets out on what basis it was (or was not) found to be a contempt.

Now. You and I don't have the posts, because I assume they've been deleted. That makes it hard if we want to second guess the judges. But Murray has them, and the court also does. And frankly the import of the ruling is straightforward for journalists to follow, too: don't publish information that could identify rape complainants in breach of a court order. Which is routine for court reporters, frankly.

And FWIW a superinjunction is particularly easy to follow - don't publish anything about the injunction or the underlying matter. Is that reasonable? In my view no. I think they should never have been created. But they aren't unclear, just Draconian. And they don't apply in the criminal jurisdiction, or in Scotland, so I'm not sure they're very relevant here.

I'm looking forward to using PoP more; especially as I move into SwiftUI (Which was designed for it).

Here is one peer reviewed publication that somewhat answers your question [1].

The relevant quote is "Vaccine recipients with preexisting immunity had systemic side effects at higher frequencies than those without preexisting immunity (fatigue, headache, chills, muscle pain, fever, and joint pain, in order of decreasing frequency)" [1]

Other notes from [1]:

- "We wondered what the response would be to the first vaccine dose in persons with previous Covid-19"

- "We took advantage of our ongoing institutional review board–approved, longitudinal PARIS (Protection Associated with Rapid Immunity to SARS-CoV-2) study to provide a limited snapshot of the antibody responses in 110 study participants with or without documented preexisting SARS-CoV-2 immunity (mean age overall, 40.0 years [range, 24 to 68; ≥60 years, 8%]; 67 seronegative participants [64% female] with a mean age of 41.3 years and 43 seropositive participants [59% female] with a mean age of 41.4 years)"

- "Repeated sampling after the first dose indicates that the majority of seronegative participants had variable and relatively low SARS-CoV-2 IgG responses within 9 to 12 days after vaccination"

- "In contrast, participants with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies at baseline before the first vaccine injection rapidly developed uniform, high antibody titers within days after vaccination"

- "The antibody titers of vaccinees with preexisting immunity were 10 to 45 times as high as those of vaccinees without preexisting immunity at the same time points after the first vaccine dose (e.g., 25 times as high at 13 to 16 days) and also exceeded the median antibody titers measured in participants without preexisting immunity after the second vaccine dose by more than a factor of 6"

- "Although the antibody titers of the vaccinees without preexisting immunity increased by a factor of 3 after the second vaccine dose, no increase in antibody titers was observed in the Covid-19 survivors who received the second vaccine dose"

- "Overall, both vaccines (156 participants received the Pfizer vaccine and 74 the Moderna vaccine) had no side effects that resulted in hospitalization"

- "Vaccine recipients with preexisting immunity had systemic side effects at higher frequencies than those without preexisting immunity (fatigue, headache, chills, muscle pain, fever, and joint pain, in order of decreasing frequency)"

- "Because a convenience sample was used and only participants with available data were studied, caution is needed until the full data set, including side effects occurring after the first as well as the second vaccine dose, can be assessed"

I have to say - Amazon is almost the only thing that works during COVID. Everything else is pegged.

I've been waiting 6 months to buy a couch, every time I check on an update, its delayed. Government services are impossible to work with, try getting a passport or license. If you have an emergency every office is closed or dysfunctional. Amazon on the other hand works fine. I'm so thankful for it.
According to the CDC doc, the delta variant is both more contagious and slightly more deadly, so it isn't "true in every case of viral variants".

This is how I am reading it as an wheel analogy;

1. Maintaining vacuum state costs energy.

2. Using energy you can change wheel rotation from clock wise to counter clockwise.

3. By using energy when changing wheel ration, wheel rotation energy is not effected.

I am almost sure it is false thought :)
I don't know if this is true but I really want it to be.
That makes sense for the zoom sessions.

But, although I've never run a conference, I naively can't see that broadcasting the plenary session's video a little broader (to the three to five latecomers likely to stick around!) would really cause problems.

Not to be a stereotypical "Concerned Facebook Taxpayer", but in general I'm really fond of CERN's transparency, and I appreciate all the work they do to keep science open.
They're usually way ahead of the field and it's refreshing to see, I love following what comes out of the LHC data.

The article makes it sound like Itanium was some genius move on Intel's part to kill off the old workstation market, but IMHO that's exactly the opposite. This was Intel spending god knows how much money to jump into the workstation market right as it was suffering its final death throes from fatal wounding it took from the PC clone market.

Sure those workstations were powerful and had impeccable engineering, but they also cost at least 5 times as much as a similarly powerful PC. Sometimes more a full order of magnitude more. Plus they were full of obnoxious licensing requirements, like making you purchase a compiler for thousands of dollars per year or requiring you to buy an obscenely overpriced support contract to get OS updates. They just couldn't complete with some cheap clone running Linux, especially as Intel poured way more money into R&D each year and overtook the workstation chips. By the time the Core architecture, and especially Conroe, were released those old workstations had nothing going for them but inertia.
I'm sort of surprised that the gains are so high. I'd tend to expect the cost of a pointer deference in a large data structure to be bigger than the comparisons even with the attendant branch mispredictions.

EDIT: Oh, duh, if the path hints are useful then cache locality means that the data you're looking for is already nearby. If the hint works the cost of the lookup will actually be dominated by the comparisons.

For my bachelors I went to this school in India which did grading on a 10 point scale -

AA == 10, DD == 4, FF (fail and eligible for re-exam) == 3 and FR (fail and repeat the coursework next semester).

Gradesheet was put publically in the hall. I consistently saw that the two happiest people were those either got the AA or DD.

When I got AA I was obviously happy! Once I got a DD on a particularly difficult course. I was damn happy I didn't fail!

Sorry for effortposting where it's potentially unnecessary.

Many traditional textbook problems show up on LeetCode: for example, #23, #72, #141, #207, #322. They have textbook answers (of the kind that you're unlikely to reinvent starting from nothing). I could teach a somewhat disjointed introductory course on algorithms entirely from LeetCode problems. I could do that because I can tell which problems are typical, and which ones are distracting, exotic, time-consuming variations. For example, LeetCode #1 is a common textbook technique, #2 is a simple exercise in being careful, #3 is somewhat tricky, and I haven't seen #4 in the wild anywhere outside LeetCode. The solution that LeetCode authors propose for it is complicated and poorly explained.

People do compile curated sets of LeetCode problems. Without curation, you will waste a lot of effort on time-consuming, but less relevant problems. And it's also not clear how you would assess the quality of someone's curation. It's not like university professors release their own lists of LeetCode problems you should tackle. (One possible exception to this is the newest edition of Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual, which makes reference to relevant LeetCode problems here and there.)

The final problem with LeetCode is that the user-led discussion boards are occasionally helpful, but at most times are just awful rabbit holes of people competing on trivial runtime differences and code golfing their solutions. I think immersing yourself in LeetCode comments is a very reliable way to learn dysfunctional coding habits and pick up a distorted worldview of how to approach the coding part of an interview.

One very good thing came out of the Itanium project: the vendor-independent ABI for C++. IBM, HP, Sun, Intel, and GCC all signed on to rigorously specify the layout of C++ objects and the function call interface on the Itanium platform (GCC got funding to help with this) and the processor-independent parts of the standard were then used pretty much everywhere else (with adaptations for different instruction sets to handle the call interface).

The US govt will never tolerate a competitor to the USD that isn't backed by nuclear weapons, because anything else they can squash without fear of reprisal. Crypto people - what did you think was going to happen?

Without the USD, the US government itself cannot exist. The government is not going to dig its own grave for the benefit of Brian Armstrong and Vitalik Buterin.

The twist here is that if crypto people come out against the infrastructure bill, the rest of the blue checkmarks in tech will cancel them.

I know for a fact that Google Maps alone has over 1k SWE's. Chrome and android have several thousands, same with YouTube. Uber and snapchat and airbnb have thousands of SWEs.

Apple has dozens of products that are comparable to the ones listed. So either each of their SWE's is worth 100x other companies or my estimate is correct.

You probably want to purchase multiple VPN services, from smaller providers, as the bigger ones will likely be blocked entirely. You also want to limit ad tracking as much as possible.
