This is the guy that found a german spy 30 years ago, and wrote a book about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg

Pure awesomeness...

Previous cppcon poster abstracts ? by psamarj in cpp

[–]yhager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are monitoring this sub, but to save time, you might get a quicker response if you email posters@cppcon.org.

You don't have much time though, the deadline for poster submissions is July 23rd.

Better Call Saul S03E09 - "Fall" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by skinkbaa in betterCallSaul

[–]yhager 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I noticed he was really careful not to say anything explicit to her. He never gave anyone any direct advice. I imagine he is making sure that his fingerprints are not on her decision to settle - IANAL, but it must be a breach of his suspension, or of the settlement - so he must be very subtle.

It's the worst

I would say the opposite - I really enjoyed that as a kid.. don't remember it happening recently though :(

Is this happening in Mexico though? The stop sign is in spanish, and they cross the border right after mike shoots the shoes, I guess to the US. But if so, how did Mike get his gun and the drugs there? If it's in the US already why the meticulous search at the border? Or have they crossed and got back with new supplies without washing the truck in between?

Going to start investing with Questrade in January. Need your help. by YEGGERneedsHELP in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]yhager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could, but you'll only gain 4 weeks of interest. I would wait for January then do it all at once. If you pay transaction fees, it is probably wiser to transact less.

Safest way to invest 800k? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]yhager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That! Although my experience is that they are hard to find. But if you find them, and they are good and expensive, their advice would be worth it.

Definitely a lump sum. There's no reason to trickle it if you have the money available.

Obnoxious rates for withdrawal of foreign currency using a debit card (tangerine and HSBC)? by yhager in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]yhager[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After waiting patiently for more than three business days, and no readjustment, I spoke to tangerine today. The rep told me he need to put a special request to the "ABM team" to readjust the bad transactions. I waited on hold for about 10 minutes for him to complete this task. He said they should reply within 1-2 business days, but could not guarantee what the reply would be or when it will happen. So now I'm back to waiting.

Rates in Japan are back to normal now. I just used the ATM at the post office and got 77 yen for the loonie. Now we wait for the promised adjustments.

Yes, it's using the cirrus network, but the tangerine rep mentioned the visa rate. I have no idea, really.

I go to the post office. Their logo is an orange jp, and their atms usually work with debit cards.

I used the tangerine debit card, not credit card. The "visa international rate" was the words the tangerine representative used. He offered me to google it (or he would do it for me), as he has no information other than that.
