- It's generally easier to bring in immigrants if there's a tech job waiting than in the US. - The border is a barrier to moving to NYC or SF for a higher paying job. So salaries are lower. - There are more agencies than product c

I hope not. After the Budweiser / Uber test I had an idea for a film script. Red necks with pre-electronic cars and an improvised EMP device are running around hijacking self driving beer trucks. I was thinking it would be kind of Fast

Toronto beaches are way too cold for most people to swim at. They're mostly for sun tanning. I occasionally practice snorkeling at them over the summer. The beaches are usually full, and there are about 3 other people who actually subm

I'm not an expert or even particularly up to date, but I heard that other websites could see the client certificates installed. So a third party website might recognise the client certificate and know things about the user.

Did they ever solve the privacy issues with browser client certificates?

Federal numbers count hispanics as white. California was 42.3% non-hispanic white as of 2010, Utah was at 80% in 2013.

Because it never recovered from the 2001 crash. Nortel is gone. Corel moved it's HQ overseas. The Adobe offices in Ottawa were having major layoffs in 2012. Shopify came out of Ottawa, but it's the only one. A Rails dev in Ottawa

Restaurant chains are a bad example. They're going to be using local labour and ingredients. And India does often block companies from serving the Indian market if there isn't enough perceived benefit. For instance Apple isn'

If you forced the AI to work with a substantial input lag, it could be quite complex yet still possible to defeat.

It could be a bad system or just bad legal advice. She should have at least been able to plead 'no contest'.

I'm actually surprised that a limited traffic jam autopilot isn't out yet. It'd be enormously helpful to a lot of people.

If you ever visit Ottawa, you're far better off booking through an aggregator. Most hotels have a very, very strict cancellation policy.

They're using the term "family" but it's really loosely aimed at households. The restrictions seem more reasonable if you look at them in that context.

The article is doing a worst case interpretation, there's no indication that it's part of some broad policy. A new administration is coming in, websites are being reworked, some previously available data isn't currently avail

This has been studied. The issue is that people view dogs as helpless and dependent. You get a similar reaction if someone with say, extreme downs syndrome is killed. Normal people have agency. Most of the "innocent man is killed by th

While Swift will compile on different backends now, XCode is still the premiere Swift dev environment and will be for a good while. So a non Mac Swift dev won't be having a great time. The target market is really iOS devs who want the

The issue is that most urbanites like rich people, like poor people, but hate middle income people. There are a few cultural reasons for this. The result is that new construction is inevitably high end, with some units set aside for low inc

I think this is actually more about Sweden's migrant situation. Conscription at 19 is a disincentive to migrants claiming to be minors. Co-ed conscription is probably also a way to encourage integration.

The jeweller's workshop UI is a weird disaster. You need to specify specific a task to cut a specific type of gem. You can make it repeat, but the task will erase if that gem type is unavailable. Then you need to create a task with a s

The 'chicken' in most microwave dinners is chicken loaf with textured vegetable protein. Basically what Subway is serving. But it's specified in the ingredients. It seems like a vendor is scamming Subway here.

With SF rent I imagine it's more profitable to close up, remove the kitchen and tables, install cots, then rent to tech workers.
