I think your third scenario is imagining scenarios that aren't really realistic, even if its premise is accepted.

It doesn't really make sense for Canada to have fancy toys to "support NATO allies overseas". If we want to make sure our allies have sufficient armament to defend themselves it'd make more sense for us to just give them money to buy it themselves. Then they'd at least actually be where they're needed and not stuck halfway around the world unless the US decides to ferry them there.

For Canada to have projection into Europe or Australia we would just need so much more than just some fancy jets. We'd need carriers that are worth a damn to bring them there, battleships to support the carriers, bombers to support the battleships, etc. A whole whack of infrastructure we don't really have anymore, if we ever did, and that after buying the f-35s we probably couldn't afford anyways.

If the only way Canada can support NATO is by propping up the US military-industrial-complex then we probably don't belong in NATO.

already tried, but he just ignore me. And its not the first time he did it.
The 80 percent figure I found was from nearly 20 years ago. It's hard to find anything more recent. Moreover, I guess what I'm most interested in is in how many people have and regularly use a toaster today, and more specifically why. The counterspace tradeoff doesn't seem worth it to me, so I'm curious about other's use cases and opinions. I apologize if my initial premise came off as condescending.
I started out with PHP, if I'm building an actual app though, Ruby on Rails is still my go to.
The drug addicts and alcoholics are much easier to find than the people down on their luck, who mostly are still functional and instead make up the more invisible portion of the homeless population. They are also the most easily helped by existing resources (easy cases that don’t involve rehab and can live independently).
Well, I don't know how much they suck now as I've left 10 years ago, but I know pre-corona there were many cases of the largest traffic jams ever reported in the news, almost weekly :)

When I was there these numbers were much lower despite the A2 being a horrible ever-changing construction site. And it was already so frustrating I once broke my teeth just from grinding it :(

At the same time even the frequent train routes were apparently really overcrowded. Everything is different now with Corona of course but that's worldwide.
Intel has done pretty much the same thing with their Xeon-phi series. Promising on paper but without the long term support and dedication from the mothership such efforts are doomed to fail. NVidia really gets it: people care about results, not necessarily how they get there and if that is done in the most 'pure' way possible, if it 'just works' that's good enough.
I don't know if this counts as substantial, but:

1) This breaks the silence, so it's effectively says "duly noted, please wait a bit more as we are trying to make sense of things".

2) The post is signed not only by the Core team members, but other team leads and Foundation directors. This implies that they are in working terms and care enough to think about PR, in form of this post.

3) People share the concern for the long term health of the Rust project. I don't see any reason to think this wouldn't be true, as I know that most people on the list are sincere (what I've witnessed via Twitter/GitHub interactions) and are doing huge amounts of volunteer work to support Rust.
What if the answer is NA defence and meeting NATO commitments? Why did you frame it as either/or?

(Peace keeping has nothing to do with a jet fighter acquisition. The only reason you brought it up was so you could add a jab - very classy.)

> That the FDA, Health Canada, and the European Food Safety Authority all agree that at the doses humans consume, aspartame is perfectly safe—not genotoxic, not carcinogenic, does not cause an insulin spike—or at least has small, unknown harms, meaning that people with a sweet tooth can avoid the large, known harms of sugar with minimal exertion of willpower, and this is still true even though people for some reason seem to reject and despise this extremely lucky fact.

"Short-Term Consumption of Sucralose with, but Not without, Carbohydrate Impairs Neural and Metabolic Sensitivity to Sugar in Humans"

Takeaway: if you consume artificial sweeteners with foods that increase blood glucose, your brain will learn to secrete insulin in response to artificial sweeteners even when consumed by themselves. So if you drink diet soda all the time with and without snacks - you can throw your insulin regulation system out of whack and even cause pre-diabetes!
But that would leave one lonely person with an answer, and rob us all of a scintillating discussion on a (gasp) discussion forum.

The post made me reflect on the fact that I have a toaster at all; I've used it vanishingly few times, and I only really own one because my parents have one.

Questions are seeds of a discussion; it's better to nurture them than to stomp them out.
To me there is two specific aspect of Black Friday that make it special for online shopping:

- retailers are showcasing a limited number of goods that they expect to sell fast.

This means short delivery times, no weird third party shipping from obscure places. They are prepared, and even buying at the same price as usual, the experience tends to be better.

- the piling up effect makes it worse for delivery, worker conditions are probably worse, even if they get paid some amount more than usual.

This makes it a very mixed bag, and I wish we had a better grip on the second point, to be able to fully appreciate the first one.

Interesting, can you describe this in a bit more detail? It runs completely counter to my experience, so far NVidia for me has just been a long string of 'boring' in that it just works. Even applications written for older cards and older versions of CUDA have continued to work just fine.
Neither the type system of C++ nor the type system of TS is sound, in the sense of "the type system rejects all incorrect programs".

If what you meant by "strong" is just "you can declare types on variables", then both TS and C++ qualify as strong, but JS doesn't.

Your use of the word is based on feeling, not fact. Which was my point.
I tried to make do without a toaster when I first lived on my own, because I didn’t care enough about toast to get one.

Except, originally, I didn’t get anything else that could make toast, so if I wanted toast, I used a dry frying pan. And, probably because I didn’t have a toaster, I wanted toast a lot more often than I expected I would.

I eventually got a toaster oven, but I almost never used it for anything other than toast. I have a toaster now, twenty years later, and while I realize it’s silly from one point of view, I know it’s not the silliest thing I own.
Is that a rhetorical question?

I recently bought a toaster for the first time as an adult and started eating a lot more bread as a result.

Other toasting methods work, but they could take longer to set up and you have to monitor the progress along the way.

With a toaster, it is set it and forget with a single button press.
That's not a valid reason to close a ticket. You close a ticket because the matter is resolved. We work with an internal rule with respect to comments on documents: if you open it the default is that you are going to be the one to close it when you are satisfied your concerns have been addressed. This sometimes gets overruled but that definitely isn't the norm.
The plane being over budget for the US doesn't necessarily affect the unit cost going forward though.

For a specific example here, the F-35, which costs more than the F-18, is still cheaper than the Gripen, which is still in contention for this bid.

In fact of the three planes remaining, the F-18 was the cheapest. The only remaining planes are substantially more expensive.
Well, you must be a fun conversationalist. Nearly 2/3 of Texans use electricity for heat, and it no doubt becomes more electrically dependent in the southern latitudes of Texas (it being a very large and widespread state, climate varies quite a bit in various parts of the state).

By your own source that's 50% higher electricity dependence for heat than the U.S. average.

But no, I was not talking about the upper latitudes of Texas where freezing weather and snow is quite common and gas heaters are more prevalent.
Yes. And there is a small possibility that something even worse happens for those previously infected/vaccinated called antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). ADE occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen, but they are unable to prevent infection. Instead, these antibodies act as a “Trojan horse,” allowing the pathogen to get into cells and exacerbate the immune response.

The worst case with a new covid strain would be if people who were vaccinated by a previous vaccine or infected by an older strain experience antibody-dependent enhancement after being infected with the new strain. This is where the body recognized the new strain as the old and starts producing anti-bodies. These anti-bodies actually assist the new strain in infecting your cells, making the disease worse.

ADE has not been detected with any covid strains/vaccines so its not something to worry about for now but who knows what may happen in the future. I've been keeping my eye out for any news of ADE with any of these new strains.

Certain viruses like dengue fever can be much worse if you had previously caught a different strain due to ADE.

Especially not with NVidia leaving the front door wide open with their licensing terms and other oversights. But as long as AMD doesn't care enough NVidia will grow and become more and more entrenched. It would take a small miracle to displace them by now.

Betting the whole firm onto a chip is something started the computer industry - ibm s360 cost wise is second only to nasa mission to the moon. Apple from beginning has to be sure it can sell … people can ignore m1 as they need boot camp to windows at the very least. They can. You bet they don’t … then ipad, MacBook and iphone can merge and this is Hugh.

One day it may not play out. Bombing by china say. But the risk of betting is in the blood of a lot of successful IT firms. For startup easy. For big firm like ibm then and apple now.

It is crazy. Sort of.

Canada used to have fighters in Germany, to forestall or intercept Soviet aggression, and they were relatively well-equipped and well-trained units. I am not 'imagining scenarios', I am just laying out alternatives.
And it's a winner too, very nice plane.

My lab scale shows me grams to the thousandth (the accuracy is only to the hundredths). Would you have it show me 7000mg instead? What about 17000mg?

I think it’s much better to pick a unit that makes the most sense for the bulk of your readings and abuse it instead of changing units on me. Imagine if it went from 999mg to 1g, now imagine it trying to settle between them. Or you are weighing a dozen items that are all expected to have a weight of about 1g and need to log the results - think of the unnecessary cognitive overhead the changing units would cause.
We have a toaster oven. It accommodates any size bread, and works well for frozen meals that aren't worth heating up the main oven for. I also make sourdough bread, and those slices would be hard to fit into a toaster.
>"If you think Canada needs to be able to support her NATO allies in an armed conflict overseas "

I have an idea. How about not starting armed conflict?

I was just trying to lay out different mission profiles, along with the best jets for the job. If Canada only wants to do peacekeeping, it doesn't really need fighters. In addition to that, trying to get a one-size-fits-all aircraft usually ends up with an expensive 'camel'.
There is some confusion in the comments here.

Before today, the planes remaining were:

F-18 - unit cost is somewhere around $70m

F-35 - unit cost is somewhere around $80m

Gripen - unit cost is somewhere around $85m

The plane rejected with this announcement is the first one, the F-18.

These are made by Boeing, Lockmart, and Saab respectively. This is Canada rejecting the oldest and cheapest plane of the three remaining.

I think some people are commenting here by just stating what they want to be true, rather than looking at what's actually happening.

Personally I'd rather the whole thing be scrubbed and they spend the $19b on something else. But for now, it looks like they're going to either spend billions on F-35s, or even more expensive Saab Gripens (unless they go with a very old model cheaper Gripen, but I dunno if that'll happen).
We were surprised by this as well, but since one didn't exist, we started to create one!

We still have a long ways to go, but you can search for items and filter based on things like category and distance (if you are trying to shop locally). We're doing things on a very tight budget at the moment, so sometimes the site goes down, but we're working on it :)

Lots of people keep their toaster hidden in a cabinet and take it out every morning then put it away.
PHP is still used today because it needed good docs. Who's laughing now?
It solves a few problems as mentioned below.

Every single form of your identity right now is mediated by a third party.

Your email.
Your Instagram.
Your Twitter.
Your phone number.
Your bank account.

Not only that, but each one is independent of the other. That's 5 different accounts with 5 different providers. Each of them has a vast infrastructure and duplicate copy of everything about you and everything about everything else. Each one of them has an off switch to your identity that they can freely flip on a whim with no recourse available to you.

If you invert that and say that your identity is no longer mediated by any specific entity, or array of entities, it is mediated by a provably neutral public infrastructure that is completely opt in and costs only the amount that is proportional to your usage.

Now the identity resides with the user, not any third party, which means they have full control over it, without having to rely on any one entity that can fail or turn against you.

Natural immunity isnt viable for the people likely to perish if they are infected.

Yes you should get vaccinated even if you tested positive because false positive tests can occur.

There is no verifiable record of anyone having been sick with covid in the same way that there is for vaccination.

"Immune system robustness" is not something quantifiable or comparable in human populations to my knowledge. We can identify immune system weaknesses or compromise but I do not know of a metric to rank individuals relative to each other.
Having dabbled in magic some, I can confirm that the delivery is far more important than I originally thought. Several times I have had my mind absolutely blown by a card trick, then found out it's a trick I have done myself! But they had put in so much more effort on honing the delivery, presentation, and patter to the point it became a different trick.
You can do this with the Shop mobile app (it's an official Shopify product). I think stores are defaulted to showing up but they have are able to opt out.

This made me laugh out loud. Ever so often my wife decides to reorganize and put everything away, and me being too lazy to dig everything out, resort to making toast that way in a dry cast iron skillet. Not sure about yours, but mine rarely turned out right. Usually burned the raised edges and left the middle underdone.
Wouldn’t it be a huge risk in some ways? People don’t know site xyz is Shopify until they’re on xyz and therefore probably have no qualms with Shopify hosting xyz. If it were a marketplace, someone “just browsing” would find something that offends their oh-so-delicate sensibilities and the next day some grotesque exaggeration like “Shopify supports terrorists” or “Shopify is pro/anti-abortion” leads the headline news.
They're not. A company like Chuwi makes $300 laptops that are just as thin :) https://www.notebookcheck.net/Chuwi-GemiBook-CWI528-Laptop-R...

Of course you're not getting the same specs or build quality for that price but it's comparable to MacBook thickness.

I think the other players you mention just have less desire to make them as thin as possible. I really prefer my work T490s ThinkPad to my work MacBook Pro. It's got more ports, a phenomenally better keyboard, upgradable internals and more. All for a few millimeters extra thickness and no extra weight. They've made the right choice IMO.

> Less than 4000 are people under 60 and still my government tries to vaccinate kids. Why?

Well, one assumes children often have contact with older people, and can spread it to them. Plus we don't know that Covid does not have long term impacts in young children. Plus if we ever want to eliminate this disease, it means doing it in children as well.
Is it more lethal and transmissible? I couldn't find any info on that? If yes to both, than RIP.

Interesting. Money in the US has "In God We Trust," and it's not inherently religious. So I'm not sure the proclamation makes Thanksgiving religious. The origins might, though. I don't know enough about it to tell, and I'm not sure I care enough to research it. I don't really celebrate it as other than a day off from work though. Travel is a nightmare at that time, and, although this may sound like humblebragging, I try to be grateful at all times anyway.
I purchased a 27 inch Dell monitor a month ago and paid $295 total after taxes here in Canada. A month after my purchase, I could have gotten it for $20 cheaper ($275 after taxes).

However, now if I try to do the same, it comes out to $306 after taxes for Black Friday sales....

It's an excellent monitor btw, just wait for the price to go down a bit again.
A minor slip up doesn’t ruin people financially in the US the vast majority of the time. That’s why it’s a non-issue politically.

Your perspective of US life is just shaped by what they report on in the news/reddit/here/etc. Nobody reports on the people that live boring, comfortable lives.
