Have you visited those cities? I don't find it surprising at all. Quebec / Montreal: historical politics pushed investment to toronto when separation was on the table and pushed by certain political groups (again bumping toronto p

I think point 5 is likely important to recognize. The CAD to USD ratio has dropped dramatically (Currently 1 USD = 1.33 CAD). If you picked the exchange from 5 years ago you see it was 1 USD = 1 CAD, if you do 10 years it was 1 USD = 1.07 C

If there are Waterloo grads looking for less than 80k for their first job (and they're not idiots), send them my way. I currently have 7 open developer positions I'm struggling to fill (and i'm more than happy to pay market r

Honestly, I agree with you on all this. Just because I don't think it's too wild today, doesn't mean I love the trend. We need to double down on education, support the creation of new businesses, make massive steps forward in

Right, and I don't want to defend that, but here is what comes to mind: What percentage of houses do you think detached/semi-detached dwellings in toronto represent in terms of total available dwellings in Canada? Probably a prett

I don't know how to write this without sounding entitled, so here it goes anyway: I own a house in Toronto (purchased May 2016), I do not believe it's affordable for your average Canadian, but I do think it's still within rea

You're welcome. I want to say that is how it started, but honestly I think I was just annoyed at people who had never worked closely with me endorsing me for "The Cloud", so I intentionally added some stupid things in the hop

Reminds me of when Stephen Harper claimed Marijuana was worse than tobacco and the rather hilarious reaction by Canadians that followed his statement: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stephen-harper-pot-marijuana...

Years ago when we launched our product i decided to use the US-WEST-2 region as our primary region and to build fail over to US-EAST-1 (Anyone here remember the outage of 2011? Yeah, that was why). There is something to be said about not be

Without trying to blow my own horn too hard here, I've never really taken these all that seriously and have strongly thought that people who have more (serious) recommendations are often the most useless people. Screenshot: http:&#x2F

I see you've heard of startups before... Seriously though, that is a likely outcome, but most good ideas do not sound like good ideas to begin with. My bigger concern here is the types of files people use this service for, and as distr

On the assumption you're not insinuating something there... If the time zone was the same I'd be much more comfortable with it, but I'd still prefer someone who could spend at least some time in the office (some problems are

Can i build the project on a Mac? I only see instructions for Linux and Windows. Super interested in all things flight (I'm a private pilot and software developer), so I'd just love to get my hands on this.

Another likely reality here is that there are A/B/C tests running, and this person just fell into a cohort where 12 month options were unavailable by chance. Either way, i'm just a pessimist, going digital isn't easy for

From the article: financial questions “are easy,” as Buffett says. “It’s the human problems that are the tough ones.” Preach. The more I 'practice business' the more I come to appreciate that the only thing out of your control are

Like i said, beautiful, but if you like city life (large variety of places to eat, touring shows/bands to see, things other than bars being open past 6pm etc) it's certainly going to get real boring real quick.

New Zealand is a beautiful place, but it's also rather boring and small, remote and inaccessible unless you own a car for local transit and can afford plenty of plane tickets for your larger travels. I would disagree and say that the f

It's really rather decent, but I grow to hate the HomeKit protocol more every day (slow, buggy and not something I can mess around with) probably a wise move not going with something apple powered.

I use both the sync client and the web app (depends on the situation). The web app for the google suite is just so much better, the Dropbox website is painful. The sync client for Dropbox I used to find slightly better, but it's not be

I recall my dad talking about something similar regarding the reconstruction of a building where he worked after and earthquake. I suspect I've heard it and passed it off as general construction noise, but not seen it due to the fences
