If by imaginary line you mean an international border and by government you mean the US government, at least the first part is factual.

As for the second part, the US has been asking for a whole host of vaccinations in order to get a visa for multiple decades, same for the Canadian one, so I don't see how it's "an even more egregious trespass of an individuals liberty than their usual practice".
The current government of Canada was very recently elected in an election that was mostly about the pandemic response and mandates in particular, the notion that this represents some undermining of the democratic process is a bit of a stretch.
Consumers can still have that advantage.

Everyone would be happy if Apple provided a simple on/off button that allows sideloading.

If a user wants to have software restricted, then they can be given that choice, and everyone else can also choose differently.
We appreciate the compliments!

The compute pack in the back of the headset is detachable (we plan to sell a VR dock for office desks to make docking it easier). But yes, this VR headset will definitely look large to future VR/AR headsets 10 years from now. We are excited to iterate its size downward over time (among other things).

If you are unsure about the headsets price, we have added a "partial deposit" option to the checkout which allows you to place a $1,499 deposit to reserve a headset. This allows you to lock in a headset now for less risk, and then receive it later on when its finished (you'll have to pay another $1,499 deposit then as well). If you have any other questions or feedback, let me know.
LMFAO, what is this a crypto.com commercial?

The average Coinbase account has $1k in it (the median is even less). Not exactly riot-worthy.
I do not understand how people with MacBooks have been able to slam their lid shut, shove the laptop in their bag, and then walk away for 15+ years, and in 2022, it is still only Apple laptops that can do that.

This is Canada. Those powers are powers of the MPs. It is a justified action that happens numerous times in Canada, predominantly during minority governments, which is what Trudeau has.

> You're taking a risk with your own health, I don't care if you take a risk and it kills you.

> If hospitals aren't able to handle the wave of patients, put government weight behind staffing hospitals better and creating temporary hospitals for overflow.

You just immediately contradicted yourself. "It's only a risk to you", but also the government needs to find more hospital staff to take care of you. The fact is, nurses and doctors are burnt out and they're leaving the field because of this bullshit. They don't have enough people to train new health care workers, and even if they did it takes years before they're qualified. You can't just throw money at a staffing issue like this.
That's pretty standard for the current Australian government to absolving themselves of any responsibility whatsoever. That's kind of ~~what~~ all they do.
For me, the crypto wallet built into Brave puts me off. I want my browser to be a browser, nothing more than that. Other than Brave, the option is Vivaldi, but that's not completely open source, and the devs refuse to completely open source it, making me doubt the trustworthiness of it.
Why? Don't criminals also experience crimes against themselves?
Here is a quote from Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland:

“The government is issuing an order with immediate effect under the Emergencies Act, authorizing Canadian financial institutions to temporarily cease providing financial services where the institution suspects that an account is being used to further the illegal blockades and occupations,” she said. “This order covers both personal and corporate accounts.”

Under Canadian law, the Liberal government has to put this before both the House of Commons and Senate within 7 days.
It was not even the farmers. It was mostly the government pimps of agricultural products and the rice smugglers of Punjab who got rich selling inedible rice to the government are a high minimum support price by smuggling it from other states. This raises a lot of questions but sadly there is no other way that figuring it out. One simple question western audience should ask is why only two states in the entire country give a damn about the new 'reforms' (the new law was about removing an old law meant to mimic soviet styled collectivist farming with Indian twist).

The protests were seen by Pakistan's ISI and other Indian separatists group as an opportunity to show Indian government was some kind of tyrant, when in reality the government showed exceptional patience with absolutely vile protestors who raped women and chopped off arms of people with no consequence.

As an Indian I am glad with whatever is happening to Trudeau. If you are going to shelter and support people trying to hurt other countries, those societies will hurt you back.
> The proper name for such a cloud is "plasma". Many astronomers are allergic to this word, probably because the maths for plasma fluid dynamics is all just way too hard

I'm an astronomer (or at least used to be) and I don't know any astronomers who are allergic to the word "plasma". MHD simulations are hard, but when it's necessary to do them, astronomers do them. I'm not exactly sure what the point of this comment is. Are you saying that astronomers are not handling the physics of jet-ISM interactions properly?
Def sounds like a bad apple/case, I've come into Japan probably around 10-15 times now and it's always been a pleasure, while in the US it's always been more scary with all the questioning and shouting (4-5 times).

You can always cross your fingers but the destruction was so widespread that it's unlikely that any indigenous immunity existed. If it did we would certainly know by now.

But every surviving chestnut might have resistances to something else, like other diseases, stressors or environmental conditions, and we are going to want to cross breed the resistant plants with every other chestnut we can get our hands on in order to create a robust population. Otherwise you end up planting a bunch of trees that die in the first drought, ice storm, or are only happy in one section of the former range.
I'd like to say, as someone who has not been exposed at any degree to those who are blind and use computers/internet; I am very taken aback with the composition and vocabulary you're able to convey in written form having not been sighted. It's truly impressive.
Trudeau, like many members of the political class, treat the messiness of democracy as a bug when it is in fact a feature.

The core purpose of liberal democracy, understood by any political science undergrad, is to _limit_ power - the tyranny of the majority, the executive branch etc...

Yet this is poorly understood by a class of individuals who exclusively do politics as a way of earning a living (ex. Trudeau, Liz Truss, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and so on).

Democracy is designed to make their jobs difficult. It is designed to force them to be thoughtful, measured, and generally non-extreme in any direction.

Things like the right to free speech, the freedom to assemble (protest) and the act of civil disobedience are designed to hold elected leaders accountable and ensure healthy checks and balances (ex. emergency powers for... covid! storms! protests!).

Trudeau and his ilk deeply envy China and their 'bug free' implementation of the political class free from a significant number of checks and balances. As such they have embraced the Rahm Emmanuel mantra of "never let a good crisis go to waste" - using any so-called emergency to radically curtail democratic freedoms with an end goal of generally making their diktats more easy to implement.

Think this is an exaggeration?

Any protest in Canada during emergency mandates related to covid was subject to pervasive (on the ground + drone + officer cams) video surveillance, facial recognition, cell phone geofence "warrants" and ultimately a "police contact" file opened with the local law enforcement branch and the CPIC database (shared with all five eyes and used for purposes such as to deny immigration / travel / visas).

The result?

Massive disincentive for the professional class (with something to lose) to engage in protest and a direct limiting of democratic features like the right to freely assemble, protest and engage in civil disobedience.

>This is hilariously backwards. Black protestors in Ottawa are arrested all the time.

I was making fun of the parent poster's normative theories, not describing how police in ottawa actually behave.

>These people have been paralyzing a massive part of downtown and violating the law for 3 weeks and they're finally now seeing some consequences.

I'm sure you could say the same for hong kong protesters. I'm going to go on a limb that flooding the entire island with millions of protesters is pretty "paralyzing", if not more.

>Also, yes, some protests are moral and some aren't. If there's a Nazi march shutting down main street I have no objections to shutting it down.

Sounds like you're agreeing with my previous comment?

>It's not logically inconsistent to say that people shitting in the streets, having drunken discos and harassing people day and night aren't really "protesting" at this point.

that sounds awfully like the CHAZ.
> FOSS fanatics

I would say, think again about whether this casual drive-by insult is necessary. Is anyone in the above conversation behaving like one?

> ...struggle to admit commercial tools are so frickin' easy to use. I used to be like that, I understand.

I agree, this is the usual tone of FOSS people. "Oh, it's trivial to set up an SMTP server".

But, crucially, that is not what 'rglullis and I are saying in the conversations above. It's more something like "It's not trivial to set up an SMTP server, but maaaaybe you should think of the tradeoff of that versus learning a new chat system and losing all your conversations every 5 years. And yes, we should strive to make open solutions as seamless as Discord".

> And then I got a job :P

Again, a casual drive-by insult by implication that you should really rethink. I think most of the people on this site have jobs as well. That does not prevent us from thinking about long-term robust storage at data. In fact, it might even be directly relevant to some of our jobs.
And yet somehow I’ve managed to not encounter any of those fabled Paula Bean developers. Though I did encounter a fair share of the other kind - toxic know-it-alls who are immediately dismissive of anyone who doesn’t immediately regurgitate some in-crowd trivia that they favor, and are quick to call them idiots.
A few months ago, I built matching houseframe beds for my 2 year old grandtwins (https://www.woodshopdiaries.com/diy-kids-house-bed/).

The best piece of advice I got from my dad before I started on this (for me) ambitious project was in question form: "Are you going round over all the edges? A 1/2 inch round leaves a bruise on a little one. An unfinished edge leaves a cut."

He's been right. They're psycho 2 year olds who think monkey behavior is the best. I've watched them bonk multiple times on facetime. No cuts, just a rub at the bonk spot.

We see this in product design all around us. Sharp corners cuts and hurts us. So we tend to round things over. And when we use software interfaces, I think the rounded corners engender a "this is safer" sub emotional response, and therefor more approachable.
If you haven't heard the term before, this kind of response is called called "whataboutism":

Eugenics was part of a first utopian thought wave for an optimized, managed populace, which fell out of fashion due to the events of WW2. It is being woven back into the political conversation in the name of medical security.

Abortion is not in any way comparable with this issue. Do not try and force some 'common ground' argument where is isn't one.
Exactly. In Canada, $40,000 per person was spent on lockdowns most of which went to large companies posting record profits. Zilch on making an ICU room for every Canadian which is what that money could have bought should it have been spent responsibly.
There are more efficient modes of running that aren't really available when walking, and any experienced marathoner knows how to exploit this.

It took me years of occasional running before it all clicked, despite more experienced friends having shared youtube videos on the subject. I'd always been running in a fashion more like a slowed down sprint when trying to pace myself. But that's not the efficient way, the efficient way is to logically run with your knees and let your lower legs/feet come along for the ride. Lean forward enough to prevent heel striking, and this also naturally imparts forward thrust when your foot leaves the ground in response to the knee driving forward. Your calves become more like springs storing and releasing energy, without being explicitly activated.
You still want fillets or chamfers in 3d. Properly sharp edges in any dimension will still hurt you and catch on things
When enforcing CoC violations it's sometimes necessary to withhold details to prevent retaliation against the reporter (when the circumstances would make it obvious to all who was involved), and to defend the org from liability (kicking someone from your org after the fact doesn't prevent the victim from suing your org)
This is Loki's Fallacy.

Why would that be better than using a keyboard to navigate between discrete units on the screen? There are a set number of clickable points on the screen, why make a game for the blind user to try to echo-locate those spots instead of just letting them cycle through them? The point of a screen for a sighted user is to make a concise way to transmit existing information... it is only a good way if you are sighted.
I am certain that a lot of crocodile tears were shed about having to cut down all of those trees. If there's a profit to be made - or lost - some people will take any excuse.

If you cut down the trees before the blight got bad, at least you got one more warehouse full of wood before the party was over. I'm sure it was a bit like the run on toilet paper two years ago.
Since the advent of the milling machine, but it's been around for a long time down.

YES! Also, make sure to disinfect the computer EVERY NIGHT with rubbing alcohol to be safe from VIRALS!
That's my belief about why this (sort of) works where all the previous Pokemon-specific GANs fail so completely: it injects knowledge from ImageNet using a pretrained classifier. ImageNet has a decent number of animals, so some of the knowledge carries over. That makes them more coherent. But it's still going to fall short of the full distribution of animal images out there that SOTA stuff like ruDALL-E-*, GLIDE, ERNIE-ViLG, OFA, or Exaone train on.
Using a rape victim's DNA from her rape kit without consent etc is much more likely to promote rape than to prevent it.

> any remake of the financial system could have those properties.

Yes, and cryptocurrency is one take on it, while adoption is still early, it has traction, more so than previous attempts.

Central banks are also working in this area with CBDC's, they can see the benefits of bypassing corporate financial intermediaries too.

We can use bank accounts to gain similar benefits, if it's remade or improved, though the retail banking industry is very resource intensive compared to running the Polygon network.

What other remake are you aware of, people can work with today?
The cynic in me says they DGAF the message this sends because rapes are hard to get a conviction for so they'd rather not have the cases be opened in the first place because it makes their stats look better.

It is because he returned despite knowing he'll be imprisoned that we should now help. Those who "happily" avoided imprisonment by staying away don't need that help as much.

It's silly how the West doesn't have political will to, say, arrest western holdings of kleptocrats yet has enough appetite to jail people like Assange. It's easier to go after those without fat wallets and connections in power, and we're all worse because of that.
Well then the truckers are idiots, because nobody is forcing them to get the vaccine. They must if they want to cross the border. So just don't cross the border and step aside for someone else who will.

I agree that blind people are impressive in their ability to navigate a sighted world, but it seems strange to find the written word part to be the impressive part... the language part of their brain is fine. I don't see anything they wrote that seems like only a sighted person would be able to understand...
>Some personal "get better" things, like... "I tell stories badly. I should avoid them." where I rate it a "2" for a "yeah, I did ok this week" or "1" if I transgressed

I thought I was the only one that did this.
What would the pros/cons be if we did the opposite, if everyone at birth had a DNA swab taken and recorded. Apply strict rules about individual viewing access for criminality only with clear logs and then it was open at some anonymised / grouped level for research.

It kind of feels wrong but why? I absolutely see issues if this was open information or if the private sector was allowed to use it in decision making about people. But if done with strict implementation around usage and privacy for criminal activity would this create more societal benefit than negative? Also people could request their own information for health risks type information and then adjust life if this would benefit possible health outcomes. Are the risks focused around bad implementation of the system and/or slippery slope type arguments?
I would argue that you’re misconstruing things.

We Canadians had a fairly single issue election in the fall around vaccine mandates and the Liberal party won. The question is not “are mandates allowed” but “can a group be allowed to take cities hostage while trying to overthrow democratic rule.” The issuing of mandates was not even passed through fiat like an American executive order, this government is a minority government and at least one other party must support them to pass legislation.

One man’s authoritarianism view can be another man’s view of the state protecting it’s people. There certainly should be limits, but our election was highly focused on determining those limits (whether you like the FPTP system or not).
It's amazing what's going on, hard to believe it's happening in Canada. Trudeau is becoming some kind of Tyrant. Glad I don't have to live under such a repressive Government. Still free here in the USA.
As I understand it a company does not generally hold its own stock like other investors do [0]. You should think of it more as a sink/source for the stock. So the company can just arbitrarily create as much of its own stock as it wants. Obviously doing this will dilute existing shareholders, so companies won't do this unless there's a good reason to. Likewise, when the company buys back stock, that stock just disappears, so now every other shareholder has a larger fraction of the company.

[0]: I think the main exception here is that there might be an employee equity pool. The board will approve a certain number of shares to be created for the pool, and then they'll sit around and gradually be transferred to employees as their stock grants vest.
No, I'm pretty sure we got to 90% vaccination because of mandates. People want things to go back to normal, and most people don't care one way or the other about getting a shot. Giving them a little incentive helps.

Mandates make the remaining crazy people look more visibly crazy, but they were going to be there either way.

A ligature is more functional than not using one. They obscure the code for about 5 seconds the first time you see them, and then never again. After those 5 seconds, you register a new semantic symbol in the brain. It is objectively easier for your brain to parse a single arrow symbol than it is to parse => in a monospace font. For the latter, you are scanning two symbols and only after seeing them both can your brain put them together into a semantic meaning. This is strictly worse than just seeing an arrow symbol and understanding it is an arrow.
