Aha! I came across some odd Whiteclaw (alcohol) product placement on Unsplash, and I was wondering if “influencers” were trying to make a go of it on the platform, but that didn’t seem likely — now it all makes sense.

"It Seems To Me" is my guess based on usage.
I don't think you can compare full-time employment with an hourly contract directly.
The rule of thumb I've heard a few people use to convert from employment to contract is to multiply your hourly employment earnings by 2.5 to arrive at your contract rate. By that math, you're still under-earning outside of the downtown core.
Mind you, I'm not sure that conversion has ever fully rung true to me, but the general point of not being able to directly compare still stands.
I fail to see how "per capita per square mile" is a useful measure.
_Anything_ measured in that way would show densely populated area vastly outnumbering rural areas, perhaps with the exclusion of things that essentially don't exist in cites, such as "number of farms per capita per square mile".
The measure appears to be concocted specifically for Lying With Statistics™.
I would further argue that tech jobs in Hamilton/Mississauga (or other satellite/burbs) don't compete with Toronto-proper in terms of compensation. Which leaves you with 1-2 hour commute each way just to try to save a bit on housing, and still not getting the benefit of properly compensated tech work.
This article seems to implicitly characterize it as a positive, but the lower cost of business in the Toronto tech scene is subsidized by low wages for tech workers.
As the article states, the talent and diversity of education is top-notch, but the compensation is yet to match—Toronto tech workers need to demand higher wages.
An important additional component of the GDPR is that an individual can revoke their consent, and require all previously collected personal information be deleted.

No-content article with a glaring Amazon affiliate link... blah.
Most writeups/HowTos for this problem cover all human skin colours with reasonable degrees of success (given how niave th algorithm is).
The article specifically mentions Hulk and Smurf porn easily defeating the filter.
Is this not the holy grail?

Toronto, Canada | Kira Systems | REMOTE ok | Clojure/ClojureScript Web Developer
Kira Inc. is a Toronto-based startup using machine learning to automate legal work. We’re looking for a developer to work on our Clojure and ClojureScript web application. Our stack includes reactive single-page web client code and a distributed backend to handle internal computations. Our team is small, pragmatic, and inquisitive; we love learning new technologies and balance adoption with good analysis. To us, agile is a verb, not a noun, we adopt what works for us rather than strictly following a particular methodology. We prefer to hire near our downtown Toronto office, but also welcome remote applicants.
This position is focused on internal tools such as application analytics and internal integrations. It involves a bit of everything in the web stack:
* Client-side UI code.
* Server-side REST routes.
* Platform and core APIs.
* Document and report generation.
Please send us:
* cover letter — tell us why you’re interested,
* resume/linkedin profile,
* link to github projects or other work samples.

Although the information is clear, that can barely be called an infographic. It's basically a short text article overlaid on top of a 8-bit-style bitcoin "mine" operation.
I would really love an answer to these questions.
It's a bit disingenuous to list a bunch of languages (along with custom logo icons) that are _presumably_ supported by nanobox, only to force visitors to drill-down one-by-one to discover that only one out of three have any support at all, and the others are just placeholders saying "please contribute".
On the positive side, I guess it is better odds than a state lottery.
This is a horrible headline and directly promotes misunderstanding. One might even call it clickbait.
In reality, virtual currencies can now be exchanged tax-free, effectively putting them in-line with other currencies—no special status has been afforded specifically to Bitcoin that makes it some kind of tax shelter or similar. Capital gains and taxes while spending Bitcoins or real goods and services still apply as with any currency.
Depending on the age of the child in question, _all_ advertising may be inappropriate: children under ~7 tend to lack the executive function to differentiate between entertainment and advertising, and to reason about any agenda the advertiser might have.
Many television broadcast regulators limit the amount and type of advertising presented to children (including the very liberal FCC), and in some cases even prohibit such advertising altogether (e.g. the province of Quebec in Canada). So far, regulations have not caught up with the Youtube generation, even though many parents treat streaming media equivalently to broadcast in how it is used by their children.
This would be an awesome wrinkle in the story if the silent partner, "Jeremy P", turned out to be Jeremy Piven.
Interesting... One further question: when does it recalibrate—is it opportunistically, when it is already running past the reflective strip (I'm guessing in-line with the black displaying), or every so often (after each image cycle)?
One workaround that could better hide the inaccuracy would have been to only have smooth colour transitions on the ribbons (including between black and white), as it appears to be a hard transition between blank and white that causes it to be so noticeable with the small positional error.
If you look closely, the bands are covered in (multi-coloured) threads.
Seems some pixels are not displaying correct colours on the live feed (most visible as white pixels when displaying the black background of the F21 logo).
I guess the spool belts have run out of alignment? I would have guessed they'd have implemented closed-loop positioning for the colour-belt, but it appears not to be the case.
My comment was meant tongue in cheek. Maps are _the_ universal data structure: they can be used to map any input to any output. The rest is just an implementation detail.
One might even call them "functions", but that ruins the joke.
I wish they had used the word "map" in place of "hash" throughout this entire article. The use of hashes is an implementation detail and wholly irrelevant.
Not a very helpful link.
Yes, just because it is hosted on github does not mean it is required to be open-source, but the documentation doesn't include any information about the licensing terms, so it is a valid question (that is as yet unanswered in public).
Strangely, there was no negatively in the comment you replied to, they were simply asking if is is open-source or not, as it didn't align with their expectations of github-hosted projects (I would argue this would be the case for most people).
Contrary to what you state, it is _not_ clear from the README that this is a commercial venture, just that the author provides an email address for any queries in relation to licensing, and actually includes _no_ copyright or restrictions on running the code in the provided documentation. One might even assume that since we've been provided a copy of the binary without any notices, we might be free to run said code without restrictions... but really, who knows? Hence the OP's questions.
Yeah, we're pretty sure... if you read the article, you might be, too: multiple laptops and cell phones were remotely rebooted via the remote management facility at the same time (10:40), leaving them in an encrypted and unlockable state.
Commenters seem to think their servers were being remotely encrypted as well, but I didn't see any info to that effect.
Most companies that do this (unintentionally, I believe) are not benefiting from the actual work product, but from the consulting regarding their business problems.
How much do you think a consultant would charge to come in for a few hours and discuss their needs, not to mention put some working code together for their problem?
Am I to understand from your explanation that they asked you to solve a real business problem with real business data as an unpaid "coding test"?
If so, I'd say they were clearly in the (legal) wrong even before asking for the refined version.
