They have a website speed test that they want you to try. That's the whole point of the post, but you have to read to the bottom to figure that out. I tried the speed test. After 6 minutes of "connecting to Sao Paolo" I lost

That's awful. I'm fairly sure here in Canada, people would pick the trash up and chase you down the road with it. I've never seen it happen though.

There was this scene in Mad Men where Don Draper, Betty Draper and the kids go out for a picnic in the new family car. They eat lunch in a grassy field, then when they're done, they pack up their basket and blanket, leaving the beer ca

It's so nice when you've got fresh rain-X on the windshield though. Doesn't last but one rainy day, but for that one day you feel like you're on the Enterprise with warp drive engaged, all the raindrops streaking away li

Every person you meet is going to ask what you do, that's the moment to hand over your card.

I was thinking about this lately. Can universal health care be solved by the free market, if the free market decides to enforce checks and balances on itself? That is to say, could someone start a not-for-profit health insurance company tha

I don't use my notes as a todo list. I use them to document work I've already done. If I make some major changes to a piece of software, I'll list every file and method I've worked on in a tree format with bullets about

Local (in my case) means born in Vancouver and raised in bc. Foreigner means not a Canadian citizen. I don't think anyone who isn't a Canadian citizen should be allowed to buy Canadian property.

Capital gains tax in Canada is ludicrously low, also the richer you are the more tax loopholes you can afford to find out about.

Wildly insufficient. As a local, I'd vote that foreigners shouldn't be allowed to buy property here at all - not residential, not speculative, not vacation homes, nothing. 1% tax is slightly better than nothing, I guess.

I'm not sure, I was just trying to clarify. You and the other poster cleared it up, thanks.

I've applied for a few jobs there, but no, I haven't actually moved. I'm Canadian - the idea of living in the states without having my health care completely covered in advance is... terrifying, to say the least. I'm als

Damn, I need me one of those. I'm a mediocre web developer getting paid... well, not 6 figures.

Right, you need to have 10 years of experience, have a degree, and also be 23.

That's a cool idea, yep. My thing used to be volunteering at bike shop. It was free as long as I was working (which I enjoyed) and there was a lot of interaction. Having it fee-based instead of work-based would be cool too.

Governments and corporations are both made up of people. The leeches win when good people can't be bothered to show up and do the work.

Hmm. That begs a question. There must be some hn'ers on here that are old enough to have 20/30 year old kids. I'm 27, I remember having about 5km of freedom at age 8. So I'm old enough to say things like "back in th

Media is part of it, but the other part is this, taken from the first comment on the linked article: "I can’t help but notice how many freeways and roads are between Sheffield and Rother Valley. We can’t blame parents alone for the los

True that - not to mention tedious, mentally understimulating, and comes with a perceived lack of social status. Even for people who love it and can afford it, there are many downsides.

True, but you were still in school for most of the day, right? You were probably alone for a couple hours in the evening and busy doing stuff with friends on the weekends, but don't you think it would have gone all Lord of the Flies if

Yeah, that whole "5 million jobs in 15 economies will be lost"... it's such a weird thing to say, that a job will be lost. Some kinds of jobs have to continue forever. Other types of jobs are tasks that will eventually be com

I agree. And some men want to be stay at home dads, and sometimes both parents want to work, and sometimes there's a single parent who's falling apart trying to do everything. I wish we could agree that all those choices are valid

We can start moving toward an education system that works once we agree on some core values. Someone else said that the goal of education is to produce factory workers. I disagree. I think the goal of education is to allow one teacher to ef

The result might be obvious, but they're trying to figure out the mechanism by which sleep improves health, which is not obvious at all.
