I'm happy to support the loops site but how about a volume control.

By that logic what you post on the internet is you ISPs speech and should also be subject to their control. No that I support a "FUCKYOU" plate but the law has to be honest with it's prejudice.

That is just what those in charge would consider a necessary but unfortunate side affect of the path to self enrichment. They will eventually establish the important equilibrium necessary to maintain a stranglehold on power, something that the greed in the west is loosing sight of.

There is a lot to be said for the positives of an end to democracy. The electorate of Ontario shouldn't be trusted with these important decisions. This has been true since I started paying attention in the 90's (so not party relevent). I regret not taking a different path in life to kick ass and chew bubble gum.

Like any word, use it too often for political efficacy and you will inevitably get arguments. It's all too stupid. It takes the act of killing one person for any reason and conflates it into a competition as to who has suffered the most. Words are unimportant. Actions speak.

My impression has always been that Quebec is a racist province. That may be the result of their ongoing desire to protect their language and culture but I think that has long hidden the underlying principle of "us" not "them" across the board. I know that Quebecers won't like that assertion so my response would be, do something about it. There is a lot of racism across Canada, both home grown and immigrated. I think it's unfortunate that these ignorant ideas prevail.

Something to do with generating an interference pattern of the wavefronts but nothing that explains it where I'd understand.

Thanks for the info. Really disappointing, but not surprising, that Canada would spend the time and effort to establish the declaration but not promote it through their travel advisory information. The tightrope that is foreign relations is a real problem.

Edit: The link you provided didn't work for me.

I wonder if a good approach to this would be to get ahead of the AI problem and declare AI sentient (right word?). Then all IP produced by an AI would be owned by that AI and the creator of the AI would have no rights or say over it or the proceeds generated by it. Some would argue that would really hurt the progress in AI but I think that is a possitive in this regard. AI could still be used as a task performer that would generate lots of savings/revenue, it would just stop the IP issue.
