I know Air Canada does this pretty blatantly. When searching for flights they constantly go up by $50 - $100 an hour then magically reset to the original price when I open up an incognito browser window.

This sounds comparable to the dog-walking lady in the article. If I were you, I'd have walked away from that one. It sounds like the team lead wasn't interested in the value you'd provide, she just wanted a cheap developer.

Not true in my experience. I've lived in five different provinces and I've never met a Canadian who uses Farenheit. I've never met anyone under 40 who knows much more than >100F = hot either.

It's liquid oxygen venting. Oxygen can be kept in a liquid state by either keeping the temperature extremely low or keeping it under high pressure. Since reinforcing the tanks to handle incredibly high pressures would require too much

How is this different from Evernote? I use Evernote for this exact purpose using their notebooks and tags. The UI looks to be based on it as well.

That's not relevant to the discussion. This article was disputing a claim that "the 5th Pct. had a 115% increase in bicycle collisions this year", not that NYC in general had an increase.

That's not true. From the perspective of the travelers space will appear to contract dramatically - though the speed of light remains constant, the distance traveled is reduced.

I was thinking the exact same thing while reading this - it reads like a company that doesn't understand the unique challenges involved with distributed computing. I'm actually in the middle of deciding between Loggly, Papertrail,

The page was satirical. Given the content, the author is likely pro semantic versioning.

In my opinion, possession should be legalized in every case; it's not the government's business what I choose to put into my own body. In the case of dangerous drugs and medications it should be distribution / intent to distr

A bit off topic, but does anyone here prefer / not mind open office plans? As someone who prefers open office plans to private offices / cubicles, I've always wondered if the large number of anti-open-plan articles are becaus

I'll never understand the logic behind this. How come cancer patients or people recovering from surgery with powerful opiates aren't thrown in prison? Why is possessing a chemical used medically a crime? (This is mostly rhetorical

If the ticket is only $500k, I don't see it being limited to the top 1% richest. Given that you're making a one way trip to another planet, you no longer have need for any of your property including your car and home. If a middle

Is this phenomenon the same as the "goosebumps" you often get when listening to a favourite song or thinking about a happy memory?

I do! I have both tmux and vim configured so that <C-{h,j,k,l}> will navigate through both kinds of splits.

A smell that you don't like isn't comparable to destruction of your property or having toxic waste thrown on you. I have a neighbour that often cooks curry; I can't stand the smell of curry. Even though the smell comes in thr

I'm confused as to how this is Coinbase's fault. The entire point of two factor authentication is that it's impossible for someone to access your account without knowing your password and having access to your code generator.

I don't understand why people want to do this in Vim. To me, a text editor should be extremely good at text editing / analysis and nothing else. I use tmux, so all the advanced functionality of the terminal is only a single keypre

By this logic, shouldn't the existence of the universe be impossible since simulating it mathematically in its entirety is infeasible?

Yes, that would be just 20mg per can... I know that Red Bull is around 80mg per can and other energy drinks can be 275mg or more.

It's near Toronto, so it depends. -25C in the winter, 35C in the summer. Around 30C right now.

I actually start every day with an ice cold shower and find that it helps to wake me up and put me in the right frame of mind for the day. I don't claim it's anything more than psychological, but it's been a big help for me.

My home VPN is unable to connect right now. I use a noip.me domain. The actions of both the courts and Microsoft are extremely concerning to me.

The D-Wave devices that you are referencing are actually quantum annealing machines, not universal quantum computers. A quantum annealing machine is to a universal quantum computer what a mechanical computer is to a digital processor.
