I was hoping he was going somewhere much more interesting: how can I reliably detect whether the news I am reading is truthful? We all have to make that assessment every day if we are at all mindful as news consumers. And we do so in part b

Dropbox etc. Git integration would be awesome. I tried a few of the top Git iPad apps and none of them support sending a file to the app from Continuous.

This promotion stagnation happens in the US as well, but if the market is fluid enough you can get the promotion by changing employers now that you have your 5+ years experience in skills and methodology.

One of my first jobs (in the US) had a great strategy for getting low cost talent: 1. Hire cheap 2. Train on the job 3. Lock in your investment with a multi-year employment contract, broken down into options to "not renew" the con

Having worked under a union contract for 13 years (as a member of the Animation Guild), I hope that this suggestion gets taken more seriously -- not over dress codes, perhaps, but over issues of workplace safety; and that includes the damag

Worth asking: is there any scientific reason why data fitting a particular model would appear to only be available from partisan sources?

I'm really surprised to read the article she linked... Labor laws in Quebec do not exempt game employees, they should be getting overtime anytime they're over 50 hours a week...

By contrast, the paperwork I do (as a client) under Canadian single payer Medicare is nil, and my supplementary insurance (vision/dental) can be filled out online in minutes. Sounds like you need a better system in the US. Maybe not so

I'm a US citizen that moved to Montreal for work. Living expenses here are low enough that it was a wash versus Los Angeles. Child care subsidies make it a net positive. And the CS students coming out of Montreal universities are excel

There's a lot of startup activity in Montreal, and costs are cheaper than Vancouver or Toronto.

And USD are used for all kinds of illegal things; solutions include restricting paper transactions to $100 units of currency (so that large amounts of currency are bulky and heavy) and all kinds of restrictions on transactions over $10,000.

Not to mention that small regional airports can often be significantly closer to your destination. General aviation for the masses would be a game-changer.

Yes. I can live with a cramped seat for 4 hours, plus I get an extra day at home on each end in place of travel time. And I don't end up at a hotel at 10AM waiting for my room to be ready.

Isn't this deployable as a service anyway? You don't even distribute the executable, so no need to distribute your source.

Why do we not have the tools for tracing money the way we do for phone calls or data packets? We can argue about how governments should choose to use this data to prosecute crimes, but it seems mad that banks do not have to know where money

I like this definition, but another way of looking at it is that in more corrupt countries, the middle and lower classes have access to the bribery economy that exists regardless.

Rendering is a trade off between time, quality and artistic and technical effort. No frame needs 24 hours to render; it just means someone wasn't tasked with making it faster or cheaper.

Rendering is mostly I/O bound these days due to high complexity models and textures.

Call your local bar association; they can refer you to an appropriate lawyer. Have him review your current contract, and keep his contact info for reviewing any future contracts. Cost me about $200 last time I did this. Large companies are

We'd better start being nicer to Canada then. Will we see our next President holding hands with Justin Trudeau?

That's awesome. I hear a lot here in Canada (as a foreigner here) about the efforts they made decades ago to build an educated workforce for the information economy and a local tech industry. It did great things here and I have to imag
