You get downvotes, but I do think you are right: at least in health industry, this event is a perfect stickhorse to push startups out of business i Finland.

The current left-wing government has had that on the agenda, and they now have lots of fuel for it. They will also attack the "pörriäinen" class (Mehiläinen Oyj and similar larger health care providers) but those will withstand the storm; the small ones will be wiped out - Vastaamo for sure, but possibly also others.

It bothers me how much people are happy to assume criminality in these cases, especially when the capital controls presumed to be broken would be considered outrageous if applied locally.
This is silly. If I own a mine and have full mineral rights, then any gems or minerals I find are my property. Those rights are managed by each state.
If you're talking about geo-blocking in general, and why it's relevant, there's plenty of reasons. The dubbing industry is probably just one piece of the puzzle. It's not fun or sexy, but there's reasons. Different countries have different rules and censorship. Companies also want controlled marketing campaigns targeting specific regions. Film media is an expensive asset and companies are protective of it.

For months now I have been using youtube-dl to preserve all the concerts and workout videos I like on YouTube because I don't expect this content to remain available and unencumbered. My original plan was to store just the IDs on GitHub so I could recreate the video libraries without backing up the video files, but already some of the concerts have been removed. I expect the exercise videos will be hidden behind a subscription at some point since they provide utility.

There's a whole fun game to played yet today trying to defeat copy protection on old DOS games. Programmers of the time resorted to a lot of complicated tricks to keep what you're describing from working properly, but assembly of the era is pretty easy to follow and having a 30 year advantage in tooling helps a lot.

Hyperspeed was an interesting one. The crack that comes with the Steam version doesn't actually work since it triggers a lockup the first time you use the spindrive, so players just disable the crack and play the game normally with a PDF manual. I spent a long time trying to bypass that copy protection screen and all the checks to see if I'd bypassed it, but every time I thought I'd finally nailed it I ran into a new place the game would intentionally lock up. Ultimately I just truncated the word match table to a single entry so the word would always be the same. That was a single-byte change.
A friend of mine got into Star Trek cards in the 90s, at the height of the trading card games craze. He got two complete Next Gen sets and was considering selling one of them for a few thousand pounds (UK) to fund a trip to Gen Con. I advised him to go for it, but he felt if he kept them they would become even more valuable. A year or two later the trading card games bubble burst, taking down several companies with it. We lost touch, but I sometimes wonder if those sets are worth anything these days.
Back in the days when Occupy movement was starting, and 4chan people were trolling Scientologists, this was lauded as a new era of social movements - decentralized. No central organization to squash, anyone can pick up the label and carry the fight.

What we got was also predictable, though. If anyone can fight under any banner, if nobody owns the banner, there is no possibility to come to a compromise, to settle the differences. The proponents of a movement will pick the most benign shard as an example to defend and popularize their cause; the opponents of the movement will pick the most extremist shard as a justification to fight back. Everyone feels their survival is at stake.

>Is it time for a protected legal definition of "buy" which excludes this nonsense?

I'd go much further than that, "buy" is just one of the completely business washed words which now have no meaning: luxury, unlimited, complete, total, advanced, ... the list goes on.

If you have an army of lawyers and clever marketing team, you can pretty much use intentional ambiguity in English (I suspect any language) to get away with false advertising on a regular basis.
Many postal systems have a "difficult cases" department whose job is to try to decipher otherwise undeliverable addresses.

That's what it actually seems to be: People that want to be sadistic aggressors can be sadistic aggressors in the name of "the law". I believe that's also part of why the USA has such a big problem with out of control power tripping cops. Who exactly is attracted by the possibility to legally put people in their place with guns and tasers?
What I never understand with discussions about COCs is that a lot of people seem
to act as if COCs are to blame for how they are enforced, and that this is
somehow a new thing. Before COCs were a thing, projects would still arbitrarily
enforce rules, and not always the right way. This is nothing new.

I personally applaud the idea of a COC, much like software licenses. It's just a
bummer that a lot of people out there in a leadership position don't know how to
fairly enforce them. It also doesn't help that many COCs are poorly written,
much like when an engineer without legal experience tries to write a license.
Hopefully this will get better with time.
Although I get your point, there is an important difference between those two though. Once you've bought the CD you can listen to it forever, that is not true for subscriptions - _that_ is why they are cheaper.

I kinda use a hybrid - I discover new music on free tier of subscription services, and once I identify songs that I love, I buy them from iTunes DRM-free. I'm just afraid that option won't remain there forever.
That's like asking who speaks for feminism, Occupy, or the gilets jaunes. They're decentralized.
Seems that Canada is also more generally known for money laundering internationally, to the point that there is a specific verb for it:

> Snow washing refers to hiding illegitimate financial transactions often for purposes of tax evasion in Canada.[1] The term is an amalgam of the words snow meaning purity as well as the cold Canadian climate and washing referring to money laundering. It is easy under Canadian law to set up a company, even for a fee as low as $200 (Canadian), while shielding the identities of the firm's real owners from the eyes of tax authorities.[2] The global elite, as well as criminals and foreigners avoiding economic sanctions, can set up shell companies to "make suspect transactions seem legitimate" under the cover of Canada's reputation for fiscal integrity.[1]

What really annoys me of the post is that it resorts to exact the same emotional arguments that generated follies like CoC in the first place. "My emotional resilience was low"... "I tried to hold back tears"... Come on. You're an adult, someone disagrees with you for reasons that are entirely, perniciously wrong.

No need to dwell on your emotional state, just say that they are being idiots and tell them to fuck off- publicly. Enough with this crap.
Developers were literally building high-rises to give foreign "investors" something valuable to buy.

...and yet with all of this development, the rental vacancy rate still hovers around 0...

...and it’s not like we have a huge number of empty homes because we have 2 layers of empty home taxes at this point and we’ve precisely quantified how many there are (~6000 private residences out of a total of ~900000 in the metro area) and there aren’t that many...

...and the population keeps exploding at 2%/year...

...and most of the residential land in the metro area is still restrictively zoned for only single family homes.

I don’t think that we need money-laundering to explain the crazy real estate market here. We just need plain-old NIMBYism, break-neck population growth, and historically-low interest rates.
Okay, as a non-mathematician, I see something like this and I think... “neat coincidence?”

But the world of numbers seems to be full of these neat coincidences. So do any of the math folks here have a theory or explanation of why?
It's way more nuanced than that. Avoid the treadmill or cargo culting productivity, but don't avoid reckoning with your habits and learning the skills you need to stay organized. That's a real thing and best done as early as possible. In my experience, I was interested in productivity stuff as early as a teenager but nothing clicked until my late 20s and then I finally found things that worked for me, and I'm glad I did.

If you end up doing this stuff as an end in itself, as in it becomes the task of your day, well then you're in trouble.

I think that's where we're presently running into a paradox, though.

Many Canadians (as elsewhere in the world) are falling victim to propaganda like "Covid is a hoax", "Covid is a plot by Bill Gates to implant everyone in the world with microchips", "Masks don't work", "Your rights are being trampled upon", etc etc.

One crux of the messaging that comes along with those is that the government is lying to you about absolutely everything and will do whatever they can to prevent you from seeing that information and the "truth".

So the Canadian government and military working to identify and stop propaganda in any method validates the misinformation for those people who have fallen victim to it, and subsequently validates the rest of the nonsense they're ingesting that is coupled with it.

Catch 22.

So I'm just guessing that it was decided the best way to beat it is to undermine it by "being there first"... in short.

No, a word count is dictated either by the fact that the article is intended for print as well as (or instead of) the web, or else the latest SEO voodoo rumor suggests that this month 2k word articles are doing better than 3k word articles.

i have a certain fondness for both MMOs and the faith i lost. this is not that far off if you also allow that people seem to get a lot of meaning out of the quest even though you may no longer believe it actually describes the existing state of things.

>Even ignoring the fact that your plan as described falls within the specified range ($60/month/11 GB = $5.45/month/GB)

Are you talking about data only, or full phone service? Perhaps our calculations look different.

These plans includes: unlimited voice calling, texting, long distance, voicemail, call display, 5 hours of unlimited data per month (great for using a hotspot) and that amount of data.

The basic phone plan is about $30, so you're actually paying about $3 per GB. Overage is an admittedly ridiculous $15/GB.

This is Fido, owned by Rogers, obviously a major carrier. The standard plans aren't quite as good ($75 for 10GB), but there's always some kind of promotion going on. It's not wonderful when you see what some other countries are paying, but we're in a far better place than even a few years ago.
Blindly replicating what Google is doing is really problematic, I saw something similar at a few companies. The principles are interesting, but they have to consider each company's reality.

Google is putting a lot of marketing money on the topic, but from what I saw they are trying to alert that there is no one size fits all for this.
I thought torrentting was back on the uptick because of the increasing platform fragmentation?
Yet, my experience is that it makes more sense to just implement those features that need more interactivity on the frontend.

It's incredibly wasteful to do a SPA for one autocomplete field, or one map widget, etc. HTML delivered directly to the browser is very responsive.
Exertion of power does not require a pseudo-court-system and it can be exerted in the furtherance of fairness just as much as in its hindrance (people are also punished because there's no enforcement of some behaviour). Again, to discuss whether something is worth doing or not, you have to consider all the upsides and all the downsides of doing it as well as those of not doing it.
>It's a real market, it's just heavily supply constrained.

>Conventional market theory assumes that supply will rise to meet demand, but between green belt laws, NIMBY movements and the difficulty of crating new land where people want to live, that's often a big problem in property markets.

So... It's not a real market. Would we call a situation, wherein rice is $100/bag because local oligarchs have taken the bulk of imports/production and sequestered it in some private warehouse, a "real market"? Because that's essentially what's happening here.

>How do homeless people maintain wealthy people?

If your labor produces wealth that someone else claims, forcing you to become unhoused, your homelessness is intrinsically connected to their affluence.
This is going off on a tangent obviously compared to the OP's point (that the legal system doesn't try to control for subjective behavior, which is incorrect), but sure, I'll indulge.

> That doesn't mean it's a good thing.

I don't think this is a popular position, or even a necessarily logical one. There are a great deal of "I'm not touching you" type behaviors that society collectively despises and often falls under these catch-all categories.

Legal doctrine is rife with "reasonable person" standards as a result that would be impossible to codify thoroughly and properly. Obviously, the mythical "reasonable person" doesn't exist and is often a judge or jury left to subjectively decide.

For example, harassment laws sometimes rely on a "credible threat of violence" based on something that would "make a reasonable person afraid for their safety". Good luck enumerating all the possible definitions of that.
I am sure I could go find out, but just asking here for posterity... I feel like linux distros are going down dark paths. I have had figlet on my computer for many years, and on this distro for at least two years. TheDong notes that Toilet is another really cool tool. I install it on my Linux Mint box here, and boom, figlet is not only removed, but it now links to toilet:

ls -l /usr/bin/figlet
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Oct 29 08:15 /usr/bin/figlet -> /etc/alternatives/figlet

ls -l /etc/alternatives/figlet
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Oct 29 08:15 /etc/alternatives/figlet -> /usr/bin/figlet-toilet

Note the dates on the above, the fact is that I have had figlet on this computer for at least two years, but I just did an apt-get install toilet and it replaced figlet.

ls -l /usr/bin/toilet
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23064 Mar 13 2018 /usr/bin/toilet

And the figlet --help gives toilet output and the output is from toilet. I had to remove toilet and re-install figlet to get figlet back.

I feel that is odd behaviour for a distro.
I love youtube, but so many videos would be improved if a little writing was done before hand, and then the video edited to a script.

Doesn't even have to be social justice sadists. They're ripe for arbitrary enforcement and likewise can be used by people with power to direct the enforcement people against anyone they don't like. Depending how cynical you want to be that's arguably the point of them.
If the word "gay" was being used as a pejorative then I'd fully agree with you. When I was at school it was _the_ insult to use, and in the context of an adjective meant that things were lame, pathetic and bad. It was used everywhere and constantly, and as someone who identified as LGBT every time I heard it in passing I'd panic slightly and my heart would skip a beat.

This is the exact opposite though. The `--gay` flag is the best option; it's the most colourful, flashy and fun. I _want_ more people to use the term in a positive context because every time it happens, the pejorative context looses more power and anything that stops these sorts of words being weaponised is a good thing.

And as other commenters have already said, it gets defined in dictionaries as "light-hearted and carefree" or "brightly coloured; showy.", both of which descriptions fit the use case perfectly.

Covid-19 study finds Hydroxychloroquine reduced hospitalization and mortality
> This analysis completely ignores that the new shiny system is supposed to be a better experience

Having used a Qi charger for my existing phones and a MagSafe charger for my Apple Watch, I can say that I prefer the non-MagSafe Qi charger for my phone. It's the one that most gives the illusion of truly wireless charging.

With MagSafe charging now I imagine I'll have to lift my phone and presumably detach the MagSafe puck at the same time, making it more cumbersome than what I do now, which is just lifting the phone off the Qi charger. I verified this hypothesis here: https://youtu.be/XDKPNwC-5D4?t=185

While there will likely be sticky/weighted versions of the MagSafe charging puck to alleviate this issue at some point, this is not a better experience as designed.

I'll likely continue to use a generic Qi charger for my phone

>"Learnings" is incorrect.

Not arguing with you but genuinely asking a question because I'm an armchair linguist that wants to dissect what's truly bothering you...

Why is "learnings" incorrect but most of these other words ending in "-ings" acceptable? :
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/words-that-end-in-ings#w10

In other words, what's the invisible rule that makes words like "readings" for "reading"/"read", "greetings" for "greeting"/"greet", etc not attract as much language policing?

Trivia.... Apparently "learnings" has been around since at least 1483 according to Oxford English Dictionary: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/118379/first-use...
I agree. Here is the quote from the Wikipedia article intro.

>Nagel famously asserts that "an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism."

I cannot figure out what the pronoun "it" is supposed to be refering to: the organism, or the something? Specifically the phase "it is like to be" does not grok for me.

"The successive ratios of the terms, i.e. 1/1, 2/1, 3/2, 5/3 ... tend to a number called the Golden Ratio by the Greeks."

Fun fact: take any two numbers (e.g. chosen randomly), and use them as the seeds for a Fibonacci-like sequence by summing the last two terms to generate the next term. The ratio of any two consecutive terms in that series will tend towards the golden ratio.
"Why should rules exist? We should just operate on intuitive feelings of what is or isn't acceptable all the time."

Why NOT formalize rules to some extent? Having a hidden set of implicit mores is far worse. In fact, you can easily read this post as a pro-COC argument.

After all, the author is able to make a really strong case that he didn't really infringe on any part of the COC, and that the COC was poorly constructed to begin with. With no COC, he'd have to just be saying "I think Numfocus exercised bad judgement," which is a much harder argument to make since it's so subjective.

We're professionals. Rules shouldn't be implicit in professional environments. Explicit rules are easier to use, and they make it easier to hold the authorities accountable for misusing them.
