Ads first, then subscription, then subscription with ads. 🥲

This sort of thing needs to capture social media too. And I want it in Canada too.

What kind of organization is CIRA? For-profit, non-profit, etc? How does it pay the bills?

Well depends how we go over the next little while. A particular Canadian government might be more in sync with anti-China tariffs than another. 🥲

Anyone reading - get out and vote.

This is the important insight. The absolute numbers in any poll aren't that interesting. The trends are.

You should stop discussing because what you call a straw man is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of your comment. If you don't want it to be open to interpretation, you should be more clear, rather than get mad at people taking one of the reasonable interpretations. An additional sentence at the end of that comment like "That said, the left should be worried." would likely have been enough.

Won't stop Canadian retailers from using that as a cover to raise prices. I think we learned how this works over the last few years.

I see a title about uncertainty for stocks, I open the market and I see S&P500 is in the green. 🥲

Yeah, what else would you use, Arch? 😂 It's either Debian or Ubuntu if you need the corpo support.

Yeah, it's just competent state policy.

Oof, they're already worried about the Chinese hardware.. It makes sense, I just didn't know they'd be worried yet. As I've said in another thread, if they are barred from the Chinese market Huawei and whoever else is developing AI accelerators would become competitive faster and take over the market. There's no coming back from that for NVIDIA. It's also likely that China would let Huawei sell these around the world for cheap, so NVIDIA's profits are going down anywhere Huawei isn't banned, which probably includes most of the West. This should still be a few years out though, as Huawei can't use TSMC to mass-produce and SMIC can't do EUV yet.

I'm offended by the fact that Debian is depicted as the same size as the other elephants. Offended!

Mortgage interest costs slowed very slightly to 0.8 per cent in May from April, and brought the annual pace of increases to 23.3 per cent.

 

Came upon this beautiful piece of corporate propaganda.

Turnout was around 25%, which isn't surprising in a by-election.

 

I don't have a better source than NatPo. If anyone's aware of a better one, post it.
