In my opinion it's quite a leap to go from what Chrystia Freeland said in that video to "permanent power to freeze, without trial or legal recourse, all the bank accounts and other assets of anyone it decides was ‘directly or indirectly involved’ in an ‘illegal protest.'". Of the 3 measures she mentioned it isn't even clear which ones are supposed to be brought up to be made permanent and "Sharing of information between law enforcing and financial services" doesn't even sound like it's about the "freezing" of accounts. Did I miss anything here?
Congrats! - this might be a blessing for you just like it was for me.

I had vitamin d deficiency induced anxiety recently. After my first panic attack I was in bad state, won't get into the details but it was by far the worst day of my life. This is how I got through it:

- First ever panic attack (felt like I was going crazy, thought that I couldn't ever work again). Went to doctor and he gave me some pills. This is super important if you're unable to cope with/control your anxiety. Took the pills for 2 days and never had to touch it again.

- After taking the pills I had mental clarity like I've never experienced before. I realized that I must've always had anxiety but just never at this bad.

- Read “The Anxiety Skills Workbook" by STEFAN G. HOFMANN. This got me back to a functioning human being but anxiety was still there.

- Read "Feeling Great" by David Burns. Made more progress, anxiety almost gone.

- Started meditation by watching Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche videos. This has changed my life, the same mental clarity I felt after taking the anxiety pills has returned. My bad habits are going away too.

- I still get anxiety but I can control it now. It's natural for your body to experience. You need to embrace it and not fear it.

Missing piece of Prometheus stack: knowledge graph
Intelligently understanding the architecture and appropriately asserting prometheus metrics using a knowledge graph.
Emergency powers that suspend fundamental civil liberties without judicial oversight are, in a democracy, only justifiable in times of an existential crisis of the nation. One can hardly see how the trucker protests qualify as such.

Very disappointing to see.
I'm seeing a lot of terrible takes by Americans, and a lot of Canadians shaking their heads. It seems theres a lot of disinformation crossing the border.

* Quoting Ezra Levant is just... hilarious. His news rag has been banned from so many press events.

* We JUST had a federal election where these protesters could have made their point. Instead they chose to strangle the capitol and borders across the country.

* Over a thousand donors to the Convoy have been linked to the Jan 6th capitol demonstration and attack.

* 3 weeks of disruption to the nation's capital with horns blaring overnight, arson attempts, and weapons seizures is not "non-violent". There is not much difference between storming a capital and strangling one. Police and Military members were involved in creating supply lines and creating an occupation. And there were plans to block airport cargo terminals. The economic impacts across the nation are in the billions of dollars.

* The freezing of finances IS NOT retroactive, thanks to our charter, meaning if you donated to the convoy before the invocation of the Emergencies Act, you won't be targeted. The only accounts were “individuals and companies suspected of involvement in illegal acts,” such as “influencers in the illegal protest in Ottawa” and vehicle owners and drivers “who did not want to leave the area impacted by the protest.”

* It's hard to see the act as a tyrannical overreach if it can be challenged in court and has a public inquiry

* Police didn't enforce the law which is why the feds needed to intervene. The public inquiry (required by the act) should reveal why police forces were unable to shut down these protests earlier, and where the money was flowing. If donor lists are to be believed, there was a significant amount of foreign funding into this operation, as well as members of the public service.
It's many factors. However, the inability to create new cities and infrastructure can be overcome with will.

Now, whether we need new cities is a separate question.

In Canada where taxation and housing is expensive, the complaint has been that fertile landed is being used for urban sprawl.

One potential solution, that's rarely discussed, is to build cities in the North adjacent to large bodies of water. With access to shipping routes, lower taxation and superior infrastructure to make up for the adverse affects of weather.

You may argue the economic incentives and capital aren't there. I'd argue there's a massive misallocation of capital and the economy is fundamentally broken, but that'd be a lengthy discussion.

>When We die, if there is nothing coming, how is it to not exist? I mean, what is it like?

The question doesn't make any sense.

If I smash you in the head with a hammer and you have brain damage which changes your personality, makes it so you can't access some memories, and can't control your body properly.. we accept that as literal brain damage- we have broke the machine (our brain) in some regard.

Everyone accepts the reality of that situation.

But when you die (i.e., your brain is completely shut off and non-functioning), we ask what is it experiencing? What does it feel like? It's literally a nonsensical question.

Your brain isn't active to experience anything from its senses, which in turn are probably not functioning to send any signals either.

Thanks. Spares me to post the teapot. Also in a lot of cases - this being one of it, we already know that many of the effects are not possible under the proscribed methods. Science already knows a lot from other inquiries and studies having shown that claimed effects are not realistically probable.

It is like if I create a study showing that black cars with a combustion engine need gasoline to run.

Someone later stating that red cars with a combination engine can run on pure water from the tap doesn't warrant a new study.
No monetization plan. Nor is there the temptation to. This isn't really something I built to make money. As mentioned, I built it mostly for myself. Happy to share it with others along the way. :)

Of course not. But it's enough to disprove an unsourced FUD.
So what is your point? We need to optimize Python answers for the super rare professional Go developer that was assigned to edit some python but he clueless so he must find the correct answer that just works with a copy paste? I would optimize for the larger number of people that still have to use Python2 projects using python2 libraries.

Btw the Go dev since is a Pro should already know to not copy paste the first answer and look at the comments , dates and the other answers
I've eight years of experience with Python. Mostly, backend stuff and I've tried many times flutter but failed miserably. I don't know why but the widget stuff is more confusing even for the Python developer so I say Dart is not my favourite.

I recently concluded that there may be "too much" when it comes to the democratization of communications - particularly when reaching a wide audience.

It's pretty orthogonal to my views otherwise, but its the only thing that can explain how social media distorts things. Giving every Tom, Dick and Harry a mouthpiece that can reach millions is probably a maladaptation to a healthy and productive society.

A person who before might have before just been a village or local kook, can now be a guiding voice to millions, with little effort on their part, and little way for the rest of us to push back.
So can we get root with this ?

By that definition, any open source project would be illegal if a sanctioned country used the open source software in a way that benefits them economically. I don't see how this would work and in fact, GitHub has already dealt with this issue with countries like Iran:

Regardless, as long as that country has Internet, there is little that can be done about developers using a VPN and saying they are from another country.

What really happened, I think, is that journalism stopped paying, so more and more of what's there became tied to career ideologues. Increasingly "the news" is just a summary of what blue checkmark Twitter accounts said yesterday. And it's easy to lie when you're only speaking to your own followers.

As well, there's an unresolved demographic shift from an aged Boomer generation towards Millennials. Unresolved in the sense that assets haven't changed ownership, infrastructure hasn't been revised, and political leadership has done the bare minimum to keep up. So everyone now looks towards politics(or maybe tech) for a piece of the pie, unrest events have risen, and yet political disengagement is also high.

I got on the cryptocurrency train years back, as somewhat of an exit to the madness. It has treated me alright, though it's also a faith.
> Twitter is still far more open than Facebook. Possibly there will come a time that that is not the case but for now it is. You can still read tweets without being logged in.

No I can't. That's the exact point being discussed, the recent changes to Twitter which block access to non-subscribers.
I would guess because Russia has shown itself to be a bad actor over and over? They kill/imprison people just for being gay. Imagine what they do to dissidents and those who don't "go with the Russian flow". Dealing with Russia of today is dealing with the devil.

Technically it says trump and then gives the admin as evidence.

Given what I read in Michael Lewis's excellent book about his administration I do not believe the two are anywhere near as correlated as they would be for (say) Clinton and the Clinton administration or Truman etc. Even bush who was an edge case because of Cheney.
The two big issues with this approach is that emails can be significantly delayed sometimes, and/or can end up in the spam folder.

> Our present lifestyle does seem to require constant growth

No, it doesn't. The obvious cause of the huge economic growth over the past 150 years, which is what the author focuses on, is population growth. World population is expected to level off in this century.

The author also assumes, incorrectly, that GDP--money spent on goods and services--is the right measure of overall wealth. It's not. The author even discusses "decoupling", the fact that many types of wealth require little or no physical resources to produce, but fails to realize that the long term outcome of this will not be to raise monetary GDP more and more, but to make monetary GDP less and less of an accurate measure of wealth production.

Finally, the author misunderstands basic economics when he says (p. 25): "A limited life-essential resource will always carry a moderately high value." This is a common misconception. An obvious counterexample is air: air is a limited resource (Earth's atmosphere contains only a finite quantity of it), it is life-essential, but it is free. Why? Because it costs nothing to produce. And if the cost of production of other life-essential resources, like food, were reduced, those things would also become cheaper. (In fact, that has already happened to a large extent in the developed world: over the past 150 years, the fraction of people involved in food production has dropped from about 19 in 20 to about 1 in 20. The main reason food is not much cheaper as a result of this is political: governments artificially manipulate the markets for food, for example by paying farmers not to grow certain crops. This is fixable without any increase at all in our expenditure of physical resources.)
Come to think of it have you considered writing an article about this? You have a very unique perspective since most people experienced it as it happed (proverbial frog in the boiling pot).

I don't go on twitter to 'build a following' or to get anything approaching a 'ROI'. I go on twitter to joke around with friends who only post there and, if I'm being honest, also to look at cool pictures of birds and dogs and other critters.

That is a good method, another is actually studying the methods of advertising. The methods they have now are not much better than what they had 50 years ago. The only big differences are volume, intrusiveness, and rate. All of those have increased tremendously in the past few years. But learn about anchoring, A/B choice, timed choice, and so on. Helps quite a bit.

So being conscious that most forms of video media are trying to sell you something. Nothing is on that screen/audio unless someone put it there. Cynical but there are so many different ways to advertise. One cute one I can not unsee is product placement. Ghostbusters was my first time seeing it. The pop can in the fridge. Always at the right angle to see the label. The funniest one was in a movie called Cobra. He stops in the middle of a scene to drink a beer, in front of all the signage. It was literally a commercial right in the middle of the movie and 'fit' the scene.

One thing I have noticed after removing massive amounts of advertising in my life is that what does get through is much more effective. So you have to be very diligent in not being quick to buy anything. Buying something could be an idea or item. I also usually use a timeout method. Basically I set the 'thing' to the side and revisit it a few days later. It removes most of the urgency that most advertising tries to create.

There are communities that live without access to the banking system already. Many of them do so from a philosophy of independence (in the old sense, they wish to limit their reliance on things outside their community).

Certainly some of their methods will be of great interest to the unpersons, perhaps some of the philosophy will be more appealing too.

That bluntness was the reason I clearly marked it as my personal opinion and not that of the scientific community.

I like bluntness, as it often helps to cut to the core of things.

But I try as best I can not to be blunt against people, but ideas/hypotheses.

"I’ve had exactly one problem with deliverabilty during that time, where someone with a Hotmail account complained to never have received my mail - even though the Microsoft server claimed to have accepted it according to my logs. While Microsoft can be notoriously intransparent and unforgiving with (not) accepting mail, in this case it turned out to be a blacklisting issue. I had just moved servers and IP addresses shortly before, with the new IP having been on an internal MS blacklist. I raised a ticket with their mail infrastructure department, and to my surprise, the IP was cleared soon after."

Unfortunately, MS and others have now adopted an "opt-out" blacklisting policy. Even with a clean IP, you'll have these problems if you set up your own server.

(I've been running my own mail servers for 30 years.)

>What led you to believe those things (the idea that the Biden Administration's claims of an imminent invasion were war mongering,

That's a great question, but I don't know if I know the answer.
Overall, the US as world police, Obama and his nobel peace prize and 7 wars, and virtually entire existence of the USA they have been at war. It's kind of easy to see this point of view.

However, I would generally say our media was saying the invasion wasn't imminent. Largely reporting the Ukraine government denied any invasion was coming.

This I would say as well was the story across political lines.

The only thing really covered was how Trudeau was being actively excluded from diplomacy by Biden.

https://twitter.com/annmarie/status/1485652537105600516/phot...

Though not about Ukraine... our media covered how we got excluded from the security alliance as well: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...

I dont think I ever read anyone in our media suggesting Biden lost respect or trust in Trudeau but now in hindsight...

>and the idea that Canada has aligned itself with Russia)?

Well as I said, a week ago I didn't believe in this at all. In my mind, it was a wackadoodle conspiracy theory.

Here's a 5 minute video from Jimmy Dore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJdHF7J_ZZM

It is public knowledge that the liberal party are members of the WEF. So is Putin. Both Putin and Trudeau have done keynotes. They are publicly linked.

It's a whole different thing to say this is some evil cabal or some diplomatic war-supporting effort. For all I know Trudeau is a mole and we are still complete allies to the USA, if not protectorate.

But frankly, I look at the last week. Russia invaded and Canadians are under an unjustified national emergency with the government seizing bank accounts with no due process or redress. We do have political prisoners and global celebrities from across the political spectrum are calling out Trudeau as Hitler.
This is the risk in protesting. Authorities have never been nice to protestors. Protesting has always carried the risk of assault and the loss of livelihood, wealth, freedom, or life. So before protesting, you need to ask yourself if what your protesting for is worth it.

The state is fucking powerful. After all, the state is the one in charge of checking the state's power. If you piss off enough people, or merely the wrong people, you may discover that your rights only extend so far as other people are willing to protect them. The difference here is that most protestors are punished via ass-kicking, seizure of personal belongings, a few nights being humiliated in a jail cell, and a bunch of fines.

The people whose lives were interrupted by this are pissed off and out for blood. And Trudeau is going to give it to them, and be heralded as a hero while doing so. Especially after the perceived police incompetence in the matter (by failing to dole out the standard ass-kicking-jail-fine punishment).
