You can buy a sportsnet subscription for $12/mo, directly from sportsnet, and stream all the NHL games (and more) live in the sportsnet app. I got it for the playoffs, it was easy, and I was ok with the pricing.

i know relationships don’t typically have props in a store like neo4j, and moreover you can reproduce that in something like postgres with a foreign key we had a challenge like what you describe though, and were able to avoid new queries by

I grew up in Calgary, and after spending the last 14 years in Toronto I have decided to move back. Income taxes are way lower in Alberta than Ontario; moving my remote-ok tech job to calgary was equivalent to getting a five-figure raise. Cy

I think on balance it actually hurts more than it helps. The author lists Equifax as a case where an organization “failed to update a web server in timely fashion (a few months)” but a software bill of materials would not have made it any m

I actually think this is a really interesting argument. Here's some quick napkin math that shows a large enough difference that, I think, you can't just shut this down as a strawman: 17.7M barrels of oil annually by bitcoin mining

One of the things I found surprising and curious about bitcoin is that the minimum viable amount is actually the transaction fee, which is maybe around 27,000 satoshis (median tx size x 120 satoshis/byte). The surprising part for me wa

In Canada, banks offer fixed and floating rate mortgages; the mortgage rate is always prime + some %. If you get a fixed-rate mortgage, you're locked in to your rate for 5 years regardless of how the Bank of Canada changes the prime ra

Just a guess, but wouldn't this approach used in isolation result in a high potential for getting stuck at local optima? It seems to me that the success of this experiment is the result of interaction with players in different MMR brac

I think what they're pointing to is that the ELO system "true skill" that dota uses is a log normal distribution. To your point I'm not sure that means that player skill improves along the distribution, but I think it do

I think part of the issue is cultural, and part of it is education. Japanese society is rooted in Confuscianism, with an emphasis on social harmony. I don't know how we change or improve our cultural technology in the West to move away
