Most of the low-density population areas aren't covered anyway. By landmass, it's single-digit percentages or low double-digit percentages of coverage (And often it's weak outside of urban/suburban area).

One of the least dense provinces, Saskatchewan, has some of the best pricing in the country because the government has yet to selloff the provincial telecom to private investors. Manitoba too before they decided to privatize and sell off to an incumbent.

And high-density is no panacea for cost. Tall concrete buildings everywhere can mean more infrastructure costs. Especially if regulations require you to fit infrastructure into the facade. Medium-density is the least engineering: Just put up a tower and call it a day. And in Canada, antenna permits are federal. Once issued, local govs can't stop you from putting up your monstrosity of white panels on a midrise or a big metal antenna.

But you don't have to just compare Canada against the USA. Australia or Iceland have rates that Canadians can only dream of, with similarly geo-population situations.

what is a "general mattress fact"? If you typed "mattress Wikipedia" you'd get a bunch of mattress history and facts, so it's not exactly hard to find what you're looking for, but it's probably the case that most people who type just "mattress" are looking to buy one. If that weren't true, why would Google show so many ads? It's not like showing a million ads is going to trick a seeker of general mattress facts into buying a mattress they don't need.
I agree with you in concept, but I don't know that the geography fully explains the discrepancy. As an example, there are government incentives to do the build out to more rural areas, but that might be true in the US as well.

We also tried to implement more carriers several years ago, with a wireless spectrum auction that reserved spectrum for new entrants. These startups tried to focus solely on urban areas with their build outs, and then could roam on the big 3, but struggled immensely. IIRC, one of the big complaints was we don't allow foreign ownership, which made it difficult to raise the immense capital needed for a proper build out. How much that plays into it I don't know, but unless Canadians want to put together a massive amount of capital it seems unlikely to force stronger competition.

Yes, it's a two-party system, but because voting is mandatory, it means that the overwhelming majority of people (who are largely centrist with differing flavours), electorally punish politicians that stray too far from the political centre. At the same time, the "loony fringes" have much less relative voting power compared to the overwhelming majority. Remember, in voluntary voting regimes, its the loonies that are most invested in getting out the vote, whereas a majority of reasonably centrist people are more likely to think, "Why bother? My vote won't change anything". If any Australian politician or party promotes voluntary voting BEWARE!

What's interesting is that this and some other loopholes could be fixed pretty well by making estate tax apply to married/partnershipped couples and also making it directly proportional to the age gap between the deceased and recipient (with appropriate tax credit measures in the opposite direction).
I think this has more profound history and consequences than people realize.

The DEA for a long time has been slowly transforming into this catch all military/police/spy/logistics/legal/intelligence/technical agency. It picks up little bits of responsibility and capability here and there that enable it to do some function in a drug case. But because the funding of drug law enforcement is so crucial for so many government functions in direct and indirect ways, and because individuals in a position often benefit from an increase in scope the pressure is always towards scope creep, to saying yes when permission for more power is asked.

So the DEA has organically expanded and expanded and expanded and the more this is accepted the easier it is for it to creep further and further until it starts to resemble something totally different than how it would have originally been envisioned.

On the other side of this you get someone like Trump, who is looking for tools he can use that have limited restrictions on their powers and a wide scope of arenas in which they can be deployed, and the DEA is an obvious choice.

An you end up with a very dangerous combo of a person who is looking for as much power as he can grab onto and this entity which is incredibly efficient and capturing scope and power within our current system and therefore extremely ripe for abuse.

This is a great argument for strictly defining the scope of these alphabet soup agencies upfront and making the process to change those scopes very restrictive. Unfortunately we've chosen the exact opposite path.

The solid south flipped in the 1960s. LBJ through force of his will basically betrayed the senate democrats and pushed through significant social legislation. (Voting, civil rights, great society, etc)

The solid south types saw the writing on the wall and started breaking away. The “Southern Strategy” as implemented by Nixon and perfected by Reagan basically started as a collaboration of conservative southerners (“rehab Democrats”) and western resource extraction interests. Eventually they took over the GOP and you have the circus that we see today.

They'll die if they can't make enough returns to pay for the electricity (and I'd be happy if we helped make that a reality through a tax on carbon and/or POW mining itself).
Of course it's about a lot more than George Floyd; he was just the latest and most undeniable of a long string of racist policing. People never had a chance to calm down from Breonna Taylor's murder or Ahmaud Arbery or that woman who tried to get police to attack a man in Central Park because he was black, the day before the murder of Floyd.

The protests have been greatly enhanced and made far stronger by the ridiculous amount of police violence. Without that, and without the continued racist action of the Minneapolis police, DA, and even medical examiner.

Ferguson wasn't that long ago, and everything is worse since then. I'm not surprised that it's this big.
I'd expect rates as good as Iceland's, which has an even lower population density than Canada, and covers a much higher percentage of their country.

I worked on a project at Sybase that attempted to rewrite the Sybase SQL Server using VM-based technologies.

We looked at Smalltalk early on but found a number of problems. They included slow execution speed (there was no JIT), lack of static typing (hard for maintenance), and difficulty to strip the VM environment to create an efficient runtime. Finally it had very limited ability to manage storage and memory directly. Without these it's difficult to build fast database systems.

Sybase tried to acquire a Smalltalk vendor in order to fix the VM problems but could not reach a deal so we ended up moving to other technologies. When Java came along we felt it was the language we had been looking for even with the early performance problems.

Thanks for doing that, during the Hong Kong protests the (presumably) CCP were attacking doing ddos attacks and trying attack servers that hosted footage of the police illegally beating, arresting and pepper spraying lawful citizens protesting or simply just having the misfortune of being around one when the HKPF/PLA decided to get violent.

> I vouched for this. In other threads, an attitude I've seen is "well I'm just a tech worker, what can I possibly do to help?"

I hope something like this is done for these protests (Anonymous?) and undertaken by the greater tech community as the Police need to be held accountable for the brutality and callous inhumane behaviour towards citizens and journalists alike, that many on here simply accepted 'as other people's problems.' And in many cities the police have simply decided of their own accord to just shut off their bodycams. I spent most of the weekend following the events and after you weed through the BS bots, you actually see the numbers are there to make it happen in just about every city. It's really just a matter of coordination and Will.

If nothing else this is a stark reminder of what your tax money is going towards, and it isn't going towards roads, schools or whatever absurd notion most use to justify the ever growing militarization and expansion of a Police State in the US.

The thing I don't get was that in the late 80s and 90s activism and tech/hacking oriented people were pretty much one and the same, namely Cypherpunks. Specifically in the Valley!

"bashing people in the face when they weren't doing anything"

Please link me to any such video. I bet you can't.

I bet when I watch whatever you link to, there's more than adequate explanation for the use of force, that it isn't a person just sitting there minding their own business and they just get punched in the face.

Unless of course you link to a video which has cut out all context, and all you see is a cop using force, which the majority of all these videos are.

That is after the fact rationalization and wrong.

The "new standard" has existed since 1976, which had boldface, underline, italics, faint, underline, reverse, concealed, strikethrough, and blinking; which gained things like overline by the 1980s; and which has been widely adopted for over 40 years.

And the Linux built-in terminal emulator is not emulating a VT100. The idea that terminal emulators emulate VT100s is generally wrong. Almost always they are doing what VT100s never did or could do, and conversely often not doing what DEC VTs did (such as supporting Tektronix, VT52, printers, windowing, multiple display pages, sixel, locators, ...). The Linux built-in terminal emulator has several significant differences from a VT10x, not the least of which is that it is not monochrome. The Linux built-in terminal emulator's closest relative is, rather, the SCO Console.

(Interestingly, SCO's manual relates that the SCO Console actually did have underline et al., when used on MDA hardware.)

The real problem was that boldface and italics quadruple the kernel font memory requirements, in a system that is still trying quite hard to limit itself to 512 glyphs. It's surmountable, but in many respects pointless. The headlined article is quite apposite, as there exist quite a range of terminal emulators that run in user space and realize using the frame buffer.

In user space one can be a lot more free with memory, loading multiple fonts simultaneously for example, and handling the whole of Unicode. And of course one can implement a whole bunch of the ECMA-48:1976 attributes and colours, including some of the more recent extensions such as the kitty underlining variants, AIXterm colours, XTerm colours, and ITU T.416 colours (where "more recent" for the latter three transalates to "from the 1990s").
The second clip I've looked at claims "The Police try to break up the peaceful protest by resorting to hitting individuals with batons.".

What ACTUALLY happens is that they cut out all context of what led up to the situation, and cut in to a point where anybody with half a brain could see that the cops had been giving lawful orders for rioters to disperse, for what was probably a long time, they're on a loudspeaker giving them lawful orders to disperse, warning them that if they don't disperse force will be used against them, they decide to ignore lawful orders, and force is used against them to make them disperse.

The way the headline makes it sound, they were just nice peaceful protesters, not causing any problems, and police just rolled in and started beating them.

Protest is legal, and ignoring a "lawful police order" is also legal. The police can't just tell people what to do. Neither of those things warrant being assaulted by a police officer. Your own description of what happened is that the police used force to disperse peaceful protestors, which is obviously unacceptable.
Personally I don't see them as loopholes, they should be brought in, in my view. I think it's awful that when two people have shared a house for as long as many married people have, can be facing homelessness for other when the "wrong" one dies.
I don't think he's necessarily taking the best ethical option at every turn, just that he's playing a long-term game, even if what he is optimizing for is Facebook's success, not purely ethics.

It's clear he and Facebook is getting a lot of flak for this choice, so he has to think it will pay off long-term for it to be worth it.
Be sure to write something about this if you ever take it further. I think it'd be a cool concept and could potentially help connect with people.

I could also see it being too overwhelming and nobody reading the extra context available to them.
In a few states it is illegal to use a police scanner while operating a motor vehicle unless you have a license from the FCC or permission from local law enforcement.

Do any of those states consider those laws to apply to using one of those apps?

PS: for those who live in one of those states (Indiana, Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota, and New York) a ham radio license counts, and the entry level ham license (Technician) is not very hard to get.
