Yes, you're right. I suppose it is a very comfortable position to be in and we should envy him. Thanks!

If he leaves, he goes to jail.

Identity was given away after he's been killed. That is to say, he was already outed. There is no danger anymore as it's been realized and the people out for blood already got it.

I think that's a bit quick to accuse someone of conspiracy theories. "The DNC is rigged and Hillary Clinton is closely connected to many mysterious deaths." Conspiracy theorist! leaks occur supporting the conspiracy theory

Outing a source that's already dead and everyone who wants anyone connected to him controlled/dead? No, I don't think there's any added risk at this point.

No, it has nothing to do with the fact that the DNC is corrupt and willing to kill people to rig elections. That's not the problem here. The problem is that attention has been brought to this murder which highlights the corruption. We

Yes, being cooped up in an embassy for years while state actors hold phony charges against you threatening your arrest must be for the thrill of it.

I come to HN and everyone is all about transparency on everything until HRC is attacked. Then it's all "Wikileaks are bad people because I like Hillary."

Vancouver is tight and they aren't building/aren't allowing more building in the immediate area. Housing is for people to live in, but far too many have been speculating.

This tax won't do much to impact the market directly as foreign capital makes up about 4-8% of the purchase activity, which is elevated but not outrageous. Foreign funds also buy at the same average price as local funds so it's no

A bubble is inflated by speculation that isn't rooted in anything except the rising price. It's been like that for the last 8+ years.

"We are fucked" For constantly being alarmist and crying wolf? Yes. Anyways, what happened to the editorial rule here where the title was supposed to match TFA's title? EDIT: Title has been appropriately edited. Thank you.

You would prefer if there was not such an insurance system required for home owners putting less than 20% down? I know I would. It would be like the 90's again where banks had to only loan out to people who they thought wouldn't

If you think this insurance can cause Canadian banks to be more risky in their lending - I don't think that is currently the case. This is 100% exactly how the US crash happened through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. They insure the banks against mortgage default. People pay a small premium on their monthly mortgage payments so that if they default, the bank is insured for the cash difference of the outstanding

The Chinese buyers are paying on average $900k for a house, which is what the average Canadian is buying. The percentage of Chinese buyers is anywhere from 4% to 8% in the market. What upsets me here more than anything else is that no one m

You and I may not like it, but the vast majority of the population supports the views and policies of the AKP and Erdogan. Yes, but that's un-american and therefore, evil.

Poor journalism, yet again. Factor implies causal link. It's just a correlation in this case.

I strongly agree with this. It seemed more like "playing CEO" rather than actually being CEO. I read many interviews over the years with her, and there was never any kind of thesis or anything I would ever take away from the conve

Adaptability? If "adaptability" comes down to a popularity contest, this probably isn't a viable/stable/ethical currency. Gold has had a long history of success and it wasn't able to undergo a hard fork. The fi

If there is no gender parity, there is a problem. No, there isn't. We don't have a "gender parity problem" in nursing, pre-k education, garbage collection, nor boilermaking. Just because it isn't 50/50 doesn&

"high in fats" I never hear any specifics about how other cultures consume low amounts of fat. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that western diets are actually the lowest in fat.

Yes, it was the Franciscans who were a huge influence and kept record of these things. Most people would remember relations as far as great-grandparents and relations to families/family friends that they knew. Literacy was pretty high

This is what it looks like to me. They couldn't see the problem happening because culture blinded them from thinking of things in such a way that would allow them to see this coming.

I have been commenting to my wife about why are all the Tomatoes down here in TX from Ontario? We in Ontario are still left wondering why all our tomatoes are from the southern US. We're stocked with GMO products these days that aren
