    Vancouver is turning into a joke these days. Nobody here can afford to buy a place. My buddy is thinking about moving to the island if the work there.

    While housing in Victoria is cheaper than Vancouver, it's also very expensive, not affordable at all. There are not that many well paying jobs here either.

    The good news is price of housing in Canada is on the way down. Vancouver will not be an exception. Salary in Vancouver is pretty low, not that many good jobs are available. I would not be surprise if we have a big crash like the US did during 2008.

    Not me either. I like Apple products, but I am not an Apple Fanboy. I broke my iPhone 5 couple months ago and got iPhone SE as a replacement. I will keep using it as long as it's working.

    There are lot of tourists in Vancouver but I would not say it rely on tourists. It relies money laundering from oversea. The local people don't make much money. The reason that real estate is so high is because lot of billionaires and multimillionaires all over the world want to come here. The incomes of local people are pretty low while everything is very expensive. It's tough if you need to work to earn a living.

    Good for you. If I didn't break my iPhone 5, I would still using it. iPhone SE is very similar to iPhone 5. I don't find much different other than the TouchID which doesn't make a difference. If your iPhone 5 works fine and satisfies your need, then no need to change it. I don't understand why some people keep getting new phone every year while their old phone is working perfectly and at the same time complaining about debt.

    Star Wars 8 sure look interesting. There are so many theories and counter-theories. The one which I find accepted is
    General Leia will be killed. Whether by his son or not is another issue. The one which I find most unacceptable is Snoke is Anakin's father.

    Leia's death was probably not the original plan, but given Carrie Fisher's unexpected passing, it's probably the only way they can go.

    Will Luke die in episode 8 too?
    I suspect Kylo/Ben is not bad afterall. He possibly has to do all these to gain the trust of Snoke.
    I think the scary part is that Rey is related to Snoke if that happens.

    Is there a Mathematical symbol for inverse?

    I know that directly proportional symbol looks like the infinity sign. How's about inverse relationship? Is it A = B power (-1) the only way of writing?
