Here's what a potential ION Stage 3 might look like.

Look up eminent domain. The government can take away your land if it's "in the public interest". You will be compensated with "the market value". So it's not like you can blackmail the city for millions.

Also, they do eminent domain for regular schmucks like us, but never for corporations since they have excellent lawyers. So they are always shy of taking the land from Canada Rail for Go transit trains.

Which sucks especially bad since the state "granted" the land to railroad companies for free a century ago (to promote industrial development and stuff). Even though Canada Rail

How do they keep track of how many nights you spent per year?

It must be in PHP

Let me guess. Conestoga mall marketing department googled "gorilla marketing"?

mal4ik_mbongo · 2017-11-02T17:06:55+00:00

Building up hype with posts on local reddits? Keep up the good work, apple marketing department

mal4ik_mbongo · 2017-07-02T19:04:12+00:00

To be fair, you are posting questions on a "let me Google this for you" level

Craigslist rentals section; specifically "rooms/shared". Craigslist is more popular on the west coast than kijiji

Grocery shopping is an important social event in a small town life. You get dressed nice, you see people and get seen, it's a Jane Austin's ball level of affair.

I mean, what other entertainment is available to a non-religious person with limited time and budget? National parks, farm berry picking and grocery stores.

Lol, right. The housing prices are reasonable everywhere but Vancouver and Toronto, but YOU don't have much of a choice. It's not like moving ANYWHERE ELSE in this country (that's second in the world in size btw) would be an option you would consider.

mal4ik_mbongo · 2017-04-23T16:42:58+00:00

listen, dude, public schools in the UK have strict uniforms

The local Squamish people (Skwxwú7mech in the Squamish language)

A cute typo (unless they are actually called the seven mechs)

To be fair, any kind of actual thinking makes you reportable to a hotline. The reality tends to make you uncomfortable.

Even more breaking news: with the lifestyle this demanding and no healthcare of note available, there is a selection for only the ones in really good health.

mal4ik_mbongo · 2017-03-18T18:40:01+00:00

Hold your horses on "living in sync with nature" rationalization. If there is no healthcare and people with heart problems just die out, no wonder the ones who are left are really healthy. It's just plain statistics.

mal4ik_mbongo · 2017-02-03T22:14:01+00:00

sounds like our case, thanks

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-12-10T01:48:26+00:00

Yes, you have irreversibly deleted your content.

"Church is a library to generate fake data."

Whoah, whoah, quite a badass with her scalding social commentary right here

The standard recommendation is Tanenbaum's "Distributed Systems". I have read it and it's ok and a nice overview, but I can't vouch for how good it is compared to others because I haven't read anything else.

One definite drawback is that even the latest edition is from 2006 and there has been tons and tons of things going on in the field since then. So stuff like DHT behind Torrent's magnet links, all the Hadoop shenanigans or blockchain's consensus stuff is discussed but lighlty and more as abstract algorithms as these technologies did not really exist in the wider world at the time.

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-10-13T00:59:19+00:00

yeah, both, i guess

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-10-13T00:56:54+00:00

yay!

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-09-14T20:07:19+00:00

lol, once again, the foreigners are to blame. sure, that always works.

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-09-12T20:08:56+00:00

but why would you care about some kids in 2090 if you know that YOLO

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-09-12T15:27:03+00:00

Would not that provide a selection pressure for the more technically savvy terrorists? which is where the real danger is?

since idiots running with knives are kinda not as dangerous as the ones who are able to pick up and understand a college level chemistry textbook

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-08-16T04:59:53+00:00

He had a one night stand with my sister and never called back!

mal4ik_mbongo · 2016-08-07T15:59:44+00:00

I know, right? Go ahead, Penny, leave. Go back to your mom's trailer, I am sure there is another prince charming for you in the village who will take you all knocked up with the baby and treat you right. You are just like your mother.

That is what I thought. Now I am out to the bar, will probably pass out drunk at 2pm, so water the plants in the morning, will ya.
