https://flare.io is a cybersecurity platform based in Montréal.

They do exist and are increasingly common for new hotel builds, at least where I live. Here is an example of one in Montréal that I stayed in last autumn:

Canada has essentially 6 big banks, instant transfers using Interac has been the most common way of transferring money for years (it launched in 2003) and payment using NFC has been the norm for a decade.

I have bought and sold well over a hundred items on Marketplace in the past few years. There are scams, mostly from buyers wanting you to ship items to them, but insisting on in-person transactions nullifies most of them.

I've even shipped and gotten some items shipped in rare cases from people who I could verify the identity.

This is in Canada (Québec), so I guess mileage may vary.

I agree that their app isn't particularly good, but have you ever used the Subway app or even their website for a mobile order? I think it's the slowest and jankiest app I have ever used. It honestly takes like 5-10 minutes to order two subs that I have saved as favorites.

The back is made of glass not plastic, as mentioned on their website.

It should have been phrased, "your return on investments can be the sole source of your retirement wealth."

I think what they mean is that the bulk of your wealth will be the capital that you put into your investments with a reasonable amount of interest/capital gain.

I would think so. Rare earth magnets are permanent magnets and can be much stronger than iron based magnets of the same size.

You'll notice that Québec is not on the map when they compare potential savings because we've had government subsidized daycare for over 25 years. The results have been increased participation of mothers in the workforce and increased GDP[1].

The same article explains that the ROI is about 47%, meaning that for every 100$ spent, the federal and provincial governments get 147$ back in increased productivity.

From my experience, when there is no more snap it tends to be an accumulation of dust and grime in the port preventing the cable from fully seating. I usually clear it out carefully with a sim card ejection tool.

I think it depends on the type of workout. I do a powerlifting style program that has a 3 minute rest time between sets, so I like to read during them.

If I were doing cardio or a circuit style workout I would forgo my phone and concentrate on the workout.

It's a 3.5mm connection, but the sound quality is noticeably worse when they are off and running passively, even when running them through an amp.

I own the Sony WH-1000xm4 and their battery life is terrific. I work 8-10h during the day and sometimes add a 2-3h gaming session and they regularly last more than two full days without recharging.

Their noise cancelling is top notch and the sound, even over bluetooth is very good. They can be plugged in using a 3.5mm cable, I use a V-Moda boom mic attachment that adds a high end mic for voice chat or zoom calls.

Considering that the article lends the reader to understand that studies are indicating vitamin supplements are not as necessary as we'd like to believe, I don't think op was being cynical.

Random quote from the article:

I faithfully chewed those calcium supplements, and then a study said they didn’t do any good at all,” said Ms. Bentley

During the presentation, they mentioned that if you have an evil twin, you should probably use a passcode, so I'm assuming that the acceptable range for recognizing is larger than the ranges of difference between identical twins.

Thank you for the suggestion, it was an excellent fast read, quite concise and insightful.

Absolutely! Being able to watch our customers use our application in production environments, observing how they used it and how they perceived certain features has been so enriching.

We would have spent at least 10 times longer trying to get these insights otherwise, if there was even a possibility that we would arrive to the same conclusion.

It takes a little time to get over the fact that you are no longer building this product for yourself (unless you are building dev tools), but seeing customers use your product happily and telling you how much they value it is well worth the investment.

As a lead developer building a platform dealing with the intricacies of union agreements and labor restrictions, this summarizes exactly the thought process that my team has gone through in the last year.

We started with a simple problem that plagues HR departments in every conceivable industry with unions, finding substitute personnel and erroneously assumed that it was a simple fix. Over the past year and a half we have accumulated a great deal of knowledge after interacting with as many people as possible and have finally released a version that meets our original criteria (and much more). It was obviously not a simple fix.

If I have one thing to tell anyone who is looking for business ideas to try out their new programming skills on, I strongly suggest taking the time to learn as much as possible about the people to whom you want to provide a solution, then recruiting one of them to help you build it, lest you become another project that solves a non-issue beautifully.

GoodFood is a Canadian company that does something like this. https://makegoodfood.ca/en/home

I'm willing to bet he means Montreal, no shortage of programming jobs over here.

However, two out of four things mentioned have been removed from new models since the first retina came out in mid 2012 (DVD/RJ45) simply because they are nearly as thick as the entire device.

RCA out hasn't ever been in a MacBook to my knowledge.

The only port that made absolutely no sense to remove was the SD card slot (even if I personally never use mine).

Affinity Designer and Photo are excellent products, I would argue that affinity designer is much easier to work with than Illustrator.

After reading the warning this morning about creative cloud and how hard it was to cancel, but I ended up buckling in for a journey of my own.
