I'm always amazed by how tricky DNS failures can be.

I have no direct knowledge about Zendesk's use case however currency conversion is table stakes for any company doing international business. Purchase orders and employee travel expense reports being top of the list.

The article claims 15M in Ontario and BC. That's about 3 out of 4 residents of those provinces. I guess there's a lot of old records in there. The scope is so large that pretty much every adult can now be intimidated by threats of

Adding a little context: Harbour Air is a short-hop seaplane operator working out of downtown Vancouver. Most of their flights are ~ 100km across the Georgia Straight to Victoria and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Trips are ~ 30 minutes IIRC.

Saskatchewan is a little more than 1M with cities smaller that 250k and New Brunswick is even smaller. Northern Ontario is also quite sparse. I think these are pretty good areas for the tech!

This looks like a particularly good fit for Saskatchewan with very small cities (largest is pop. ~ 250k) and almost half of the electricity currently being provided by coal plants.

Great point! But, to be fair, the glass didn't look that strong in the demo :)

Yes, Canadian tax residents have serious obligations, as do US citizens (no matter where they live)! LPs on the other hand, do not _if_ there is no economic activity in Canada and there's a tax treaty at play with the founding partner

Many tax havens are actually quite stable and have very reliable banking systems. Canada encourages "snow washing" with Limited Partnerships. Canada's banks are quite good and the corporate legislation allows a degree of anon

The vendor claims to buy beans from a Canadian distributor. It's not immediately obvious how to get from "bought beans in Montreal, sold Coffee in Toronto" to "funds frozen for doing business with Cuba." The devil m

Thanks for posting that New Yorker article, it was a great read about the humans behind HN.

Those are some bold accusations. Looking forward to hearing the response from Search Guard. I wonder if there were attempts to resolve this quietly before going to the courts (and blogs).

That was similar to my experience but I haven't used it in several years, shortly after the Google acquisition my account broke. Waze seemed to want to route me through school zones all the time. Google Navigate didn't seem to suf

Interesting, so you're suggesting that the Google and Apple navigation apps are also crowd-sourced social networks like Waze? If that's true I wonder why Waze is singled out for these types of articles.

I had no idea Waze was powered by anon crowd sourced map editors. If anybody here is doing it, what's the motivation? Personally I'd never disclose my shortcuts or free parking spots.

That's a nice list of sinks and I see the v0.5 Kafka source is already done a few days ago. 1) is there any talk of breaking changes on the road to 1.0? 2) are there any articles about lessons learned from the Timber folks about runnin

I remember seeing some of this type of stuff with the Xbox Kinect. It's cool that the form factor has moved to mobile (slowly swinging the Kinect around the room was not ideal). I'm not following this space but from the video it s

I was surprised to find myself excited by the this news. I guess that brand really made a mark on me all those years ago. Is it really XBox Pass subscription only? The article doesn't make that claim.

Neat! I haven't seen much golang ML. I wonder: is there a particular reason to target go? Maybe some plans for the future?

That syntax refers to fields in a tuple. Path parameters can be deserialized into a type like this: [derive(Deserialize)] struct HelloWorldParams { id: String, name: String, } fn index(info: web::Path<HelloW
