Canada had a renewed interest in stamp collecting among young people in the late 1980s after the TV movie Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller came out. But it died out pretty quickly as Canada Post switched to printed stamps, and as kids

I am pretty sure I did standardized tests at 4 or 5 years old. It was one-on-one with an educator and was basic things like how many ways can you classify these random blocks (shape, size, colour), or how to arrange image tiles to tell a ch

This doesn’t install hid drivers. This lets you open a connection to a USB device from the browser so that you can talk to it. It’s great because we will finally be able to build web apps that talk natively to USBHID devices like barcode

Every other service business that isn’t a restaurant doesn’t have tips and they seem to be doing fine. What is it with restaurants that makes workers only provide good service because of money? Do food service workers not have any intrinsic

The agent must have been clueless since TWICs are on the list of approved forms of identification.

It’s a ferry flight with no passengers so that the airline can move the airplane from Florida to California where parking rates are cheaper. You can apply for a ferry permit from the FAA to get special permission to move a non-airworthy air

Your example would be valid if U2F simulated a keyboard, but it doesn’t. The U2F key is a non-keyboard USB-HID device. The browser has special code embedded to identify and communicate with U2F keys using low level operating system USB api

I wonder if we’ll get to the point of having two-factor passwordless authentication. Like you need two of the following methods to access a website (u2f/fido2, TOTP, SMS, Recovery codes, tls client certificate, etc.) and forego passwo

In single factor mode (passwordless), your token is your password. So if you lose it, someone could access your accounts if they know your username. The USB tokens don’t store a password, they store a master key pair, and then derives a si

How much does it cost to get wisdom teeth removed in the US and in Taiwan? My dentist in Toronto charges around $400 CAD per tooth for extractions, and that’s with full general anesthesia. The price is the same here with private insurance

Also, if you have time, throw out all food in your fridge and freezer that you aren’t taking with you. If your house ends up being fine, it may be without power for a long period of time and you may not be able to go back home right away.

Yup. And if you, the template provider, had a GST number (you are a business or have sales over $30k), you would also be charging Microsoft the GST for the sale. It is not a problem for MS since they would just claim it back as an input t

Companies that collect GST also get back from the government any GST they spend. So effectively they don't have to pay for GST/HST on fuel, maintenance, even a new car. Companies that don't collect GST/HST (people with

That is right. The law in Canada explicitly excludes taxis from the $30k exemption, and taxis must collect gst/hst on all rides, regardless of how much the taxi's sales were in a year. Uber was exploiting this rule by saying the

Same. Whenever I go to the US and they give me pennies, I just give them right back. I have zero use for pennies. I also really wish they switched from dollar bills to coins.

You could easily add a clause that says if you have a useful 4 year degree from the US, the minimum is $75k (or whatever) and 100k for everyone else. Then new grads wouldn't be at an unfair disadvantage for getting jobs.

Is there any movie content that could produce frequencies that low, or has it been filtered out knowing most theatres and homes can't reliably produce frequencies below 20Hz?

I would expect this change to be easier than you say. If they increase fares, I am pretty sure they are able to set the new fares overnight on all their machines and not have a delayed rollout schedule. Imagine the chaos of they couldn&#x

Lowes in Canada still doesn't have chip and pin yet. They are one of the last stores in the country that hasn't switched yet. Their readers don't even have chip readers, at least at the stores I've been to.

This notion that mh370 was flying behind the Singapore jet to avoid radar is far fetched. Is the simple explanation much more likely that primary and secondary radar were both tracking the Singapore jet and the data wasn't matched prop
