I was with you back in the day, but they way the world and these companies have shifted over the last decade in how they operate just makes this an instant no-no for me. I wish it wasn't the case because we could have nice things if the system didn't require them to profit-maximize.

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.

Vice President Harris said during an interview with ABC News' "The View" on Tuesday that "there is not a thing that comes to mind" when asked whether she would've done anything differently than President Biden.

 

Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as "people of faith," responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The "people of faith" label is given to those who identify with a recognized religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism or Islam.

The study found that approximately 104 million people under the "people of faith" umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million who regularly go to church.

Researchers have used commercial satellite imagery to identify more than 30 points where Iranian missiles appear to have impacted an air base in southern Israel.

Based on preliminary calculations of what happened at Nevatim, Lewis believes a substantial number of Iranian missiles may have reached their targets.

Lewis notes that although over 30 missiles landed inside the base perimeter, the damage caused was still somewhat limited. That's notable because Iran is believed to have used some of its most advanced Fattah missiles.

 

BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Lebanese army says that a soldier was killed in an Israeli strike on a military post in southern Lebanon, adding that soldiers fired back at the source of the fire.

It is the first time the army has fired back at Israeli forces since the conflict began a year ago, a Lebanese security source tells Reuters.

 

Folks with vaginas, I'm conducting some family comparative analysis and I'd like to know how many standard pieces of toilet paper do you use when wiping after a pee. I posted some comments with options to upvote if you like.

 

“Get an application and drop it off (at) one of these companies and start working, you need to start working if you’re healthy — bottom line — if you’re unhealthy, I’ll take care of you the rest of my life, your life, we’ll take care of you,” the premier said.

“But if you’re healthy, get off your A-S-S and start working like everyone else is.”
