As a cannuck, I can chuckle at the fact that one of our Ontario bridges lasted 42 days before it failed.[1]

Canadian here. You are making assumption about decisions you don't know about,- like "Do theses companies had too much anxiety for our regulation? None at all, they were some multi billions companies that did this. It was just not worth it."

That is a sweeping generalization and if you dilute and guess what the most probable reason for excluding Quebec was,- it's probably for the best. It was a shady contest to begin with.

The Canadian sweepstakes law and corresponding province laws are not that hard and costly to comply with as well. Look at the countless valid and non-scam contests present and available to our citizens. You, I and rest of us should be glad that rules like these exist since a there are people companies out there willing to part you with your hard earned money.

As an example, you just need to store my skill testing answer and if I get awarded a price, reset a flag that I need to fill out a new answer. In Quebec, you need to give monetary guarantees to make sure you pay out and give contest rules out to the bureau ahead of time. That is not a tall task. It's for the better if those shady contests did not want to participate

Fair enough ;) But is it worth going to war over this fact?

That is bonkers. Even with turbochargers, a USB outlet of a charger should not put out more than 5V. I tested about 10 different chargers with a multimeter in the last two weeks and each one was anywhere from 4.9V to 5.1V. The isolation in the brick must have been total junk

Yup. I also can't verify much, but I know a person who performed electrical work in one of their buildings and you wouldn't even know that building belonged to CSIS.

I tried Nim in non commercial capacity and liked it. Wrote an Aho-corasick string matching algorithm in it to see how it fared with Lua/Luajit and it was fairly close in speed. The code was also quite pleasant to write.

I remember that debugging it was a bit of a pain if just not a real option then. Maybe things have changed.

Exactly. The worth argument is a diversion and bait set out by hiring side. It is only in play when the employee is purely driven by performance, like in professional sport. That is also why sport personalities have agents.

Just because regular business profits are several layers removed from a regular employee does not mean that there's no link to performance as well, but business usually does not like to share( raise salary ) to not set a precedent.

I for one would love to have an professional agent that looked after me in return for good career progression. Even the rock starts among us know that it takes skill and luck to get paid what we are really worth

This is very close.

I used to provide crypto coin wallet password recovery service. The first couple of days would be spent on building a knowledge database with the help of the wallet owner. Plugging that data into the algorithm, even if the password was random and long allowed me to usually get the correct password. Exploring the whole search space without pruning is a fools errand

Is there an equivalent for this scaffolding app, but for server side PHP or Ruby ?

That is one of the saddest 30 minutes of video I have seen up to date.

I've seen incompetent leaders promote other incompetent people to serve them as their ideals are congruent. As in - they don't question the status-quo to make things better and alas their numbers grow stronger. It takes a good concerted effort to take this type of nepotism on.

Same here, in 2012. I talked with who I remember is one of the founders. I believe there were already in Toronto or in the process of moving from the Waterloo area.

It was very bad as far as whole process was concerned. I didn't mind though since they were in their infancy and I moved onto a different position anyway.

This rings true. There are those who tackle the low level plumbing, core problems and take them on with the rest of the team. Then there are those who take on surface-deep issues. Intentions and subject matters.

I see that the source code "os.h" file has directives to handle Linux and Apple. Has anyone managed to build it and use it in the even most trivial way?

They opened a distribution warehouse in west Brampton, Ontario that looks like an airplane hangar. For the time it was being built, I was sure it would be some sort of FedEX, Air Canada type of business. Well, Amazon it is and it's huge.

Yup. I made the jump reluctantly after running Windows 7 Pro workstation for years without issues. I did the upgrade to version 10 and have since had to recover or completely rebuild the install 3 times in 6 months. Each time after an update

Each time that Windows update comes in and forces me to update and shut down is a day I dread. This hardware worked so well under Windows 7 and causes headaches under Windows 10.

Not lying when I say this and I quote a certain wife who I know "... I wish he was drinking, or bad to me or the kids. It would makes things much easier ..."

This is in a situation where she is absolutely not fit for family life and is the one who is unprepared for realities of being a mom and a wife. Literally, this is a person who has not grown up yet and constantly looks for comfort without being able to show it to her family.

I honestly can say that folks get into marriages more by happenstance than solid planning. Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows.

What the hell are you talking about? The weights are clearly labeled and you know what's up before you even attempt it. With data, not only are there multiple abstractions away from the consumer which all play in using and controlling the data used, the phone companies purposely don't provide a data cap lock in some cases. And then you get singled out and have to grovel for forgiveness. Having software metering at device level and and phone company level should be mandatory.

It's pretty much like not giving you the car speedomoter, and then the city places speed trap cameras all over the city and then after a month, you get a bill for $200 because you went over 4 times.

This business make money first mentality is pretty bonkers.

I did some penetration testing on the Snapshat application last year. It was also very chatty every key-press on the craete/login screens.

That is great as well. Quite extensive.

Do they have a comparison table for how it fairs compared to cyanogen ? I'm interested if this is a good os if I want my personal data completely isolated away from any other app regardless of their initial permissions.

So true. IFTTT is the glue not the paper. If they wish to go ahead and glue the papers accurately, it's not the paper producers job to make sticky paper.

This is a legal, future setting precedent for ifttt and they're gambling on weaker websites to get squeezed.

OK, is this for real ? Does everyone have to use the Oracle OCI library under the hood ?

Yup, I'm pretty sure we are all aware. Started 9 years ago, 1800 employees and $1.5B in revenue and occupies about 10% - 15% of available real estate in the area. What universe of skewed reality is this?

I worked across Toronto, Markham and now in Guelph bordering on Kitchener. Just the chaos, traffic and costs alone are worth not working at Toronto. I believe that my commute mirrors yours quite a bit, since I commute from the same area.

Having said that, I have references that Wattpad in Toronto is a great place to work. I believe that every place is quite unique and there are diamonds to be found amongst the rough.

Insurance is business. According to province, state etc. law, clients must pay to said business to 'eventually' be able to use it to cover partial costs, deductibles aside. Business is not mandated by law to any standard which says client must get a good deal.

Business is allowed to use any input variable in the whole scheme to jack up prices. Business is not mandated to lower them for any reason.

Well, lets give them more input on how to jack up more prices.

This conversation has been had in Ontario, Canada for so long where the insurance rates are the highest in all of Canada. It is not unheard of to pay 5000 to 7000 in Brampton, Ontario. If you move over just to the west, your rates will drop by 2000.

Laws need to change, as usual.

Yup. Every hero( read project ) needs a villain( read risky opposite ) Then inject a bit of marketing and major push via partnered or paid off media campaigns and baby - you have a stew goin'.

I know that first hand and see this as nothing new. Digg, Reddit or whichever are not immune from pressures to perform fiscally. This is probably just a first step, let's see if it works for them.

Exactly. We as people are not inherently predisposed to steal, take for granted or abuse. While these are strong words and they may not be related to all cases uniformly, we want to participate without taking anything away from the other party.

Google Ads is the embodiment of leveling that relationship now, and seeing that the conversation has shifted towards supporting creative processes which make the web great.- we need this. We just don't need Google Ads or ads in general to be the medium for transfer.

I like it, and I would like to be the first meta comment about the topic. Please reference my proposition from 10 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=10274226

I actually have been thinking about this for some time and while there are many things to consider, this is a problem Mozilla could get behind. My assumption about them is still unsubstantiated, but given enough research, it is a solution that is in serious need.

I might do a write up on my detailed thoughts on the subject.
