I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of this issue though right? The account is burned forever because it's stuck in limbo. I think there would be less consternation/anger if the kid just had to wait till they were 18 but the way the support forum reads this account is forever "in limbo" and even turning 18 won't fix that.

Surely Google writes off old "debts" after a period of time. Maybe not? I guess they will make interest off it at a minimum.
This depends per country. But be aware that if you sell them, the buyer buys the right to generate electricity using fossil fuel, and sell them as if they are green/renewable. If your intent is to accelerate the transition to renewables, you should not sell them.

No, you have it exactly right. I posit that a service run by a platform-holder who has a legitimate need to validate players' identity in this manner, for these reasons, is not quite the same as the video games (even the multiplayer ones) which have existed up until now. They have built something very different. And it's great! I just think it's also important to discuss what it really is, why, and the current+future implications.

I feel there should be a new term to describe this type of game. Up until now "eSports" has been used but that seems passe. Metagame perhaps? Might have sounded dumb a few years ago, but there's strong precedent now :P
I think low speed protocols like LoRA or relatives of it are more likely to be used for this. They're very low power, low overhead, and hard to block.

That's exactly the privacy endgame though: stuff a chip with cellular capability into everything you can and stream data to data brokers for double-dip profit whether the customer likes it (or even knows it) or not. The market for data about people seems to be almost infinite and bottomless.

This can only be fixed with legislation. I predict it will become a major battle in the future.

Postgres FDWs are extensions installed in Postgres. Multicorn provides an easy way to implement Postgres FDW extensions in Python, leading to many FDW implementations. Steampipe runs as a Postgres FDW extension with a pluggable interface to easily build and manage data sources. Multicorn-based FDWs might be installed as part of your existing Postgres server, while Steampipe is optimized to run more standalone / alongside your existing Postgres server.

Peculiar
This is not true, and just taking a dab on a fellow engineer looking for a job is not cool or funny. With that out of the way, most boring (insurance, e-shops, healthcare, logistic, etc...) don't care about keeping anyone(tech) around, so the "if you are good enough, companies will try to keep you" is a lie, at least in the US. Anyone can pickup their tech stack fairly quick. The technique I have seen some "boring" companies use, is to hire very junior folks , convince them they are making progress in their careers , promoting them to SDE1, 2, Senior SDE, Team Lead, etc... (and raising their compensation to a 3-5% each time, and making it a big deal) which means very little if your company doesn't have real infra. Many people settle for a familiar environment(sometimes the only they know) that pays them just enough. In big tech is a bit different(in my experience from Amazon, Msft and Google) , they do have "Dive & Save" money, to keep you from going to the competition.
No. Microsoft's general reputation for spying on its users renders "spyware" a reasonable shorthand for what it either does now, or perhaps is reasonably likely to do at some time in the future.

I would fall back to the softer "telemetry" ONLY IF they were to provide some sort of genuinely reliable affirmation that it's not spying, which I don't think they could do today absent legal or other generally obvious incentive.
crime is on the rise, there's shootings and stabbing every week ... some neighbourhood are not save during night time. I'm not sure we're talking about the same Montreal here
I agree with most of what you wrote, but I think it misses that, in an era of 0% money, growth matters more than current profits and so firms rationally trade off the latter in pursuit of the former.

When that changes, I think you’ll see earnings rise as chasing growth now carries a higher cost.
IMO compassion is too weak and diffuse to be a replacement for duty and shame. I feel compassion towards a lot of people, e.g. the people suffering from hurricane Ian, but I feel no duty to drop what I'm doing to help them, and no shame about not doing so. Whereas if a friend or family member were in dire need, I would have those feelings. This is a good thing. Society would cease to function if compassion were as strong as duty and shame, and everyone dropped everything to help anyone in need anywhere in the world.
Wow, what a take. I seriously doubt that people in Montreal/Quebec are more or less xenophobic than the average North American; if you have data supporting this I'd be happy to change my mind.

Also please be more skeptical of thoughts of the form "X is Y because of hot take Z". Reality is complex and things have many causes. Montreal has a long history of doing city planning differently than other cities in Canada.

Of course. As an outside party, you're not bound by Microsoft's EULA. You can go after them for defamation, tortuous interference with contract, etc. You're in a much better legal position than a customer.

This is when you have a lawyer send a letter. That's cheap. That gets your lawyer talking to Microsoft's lawyers. Most commercial disputes are, in practice, resolved that way.

I think much of it has to do with how old the city is. It’s about as old as New York City but didn’t have the same level of explosive growth, which I suspect gave it time to settle in and grow more like a European city. The somewhat limited island space would have also contributed to denser growth.
I found this: https://shorensteincenter.org/solutions-americas-local-journ...

> Research shows that the disappearance of credible local news and information contributes to widening political polarization, increasing costs for local government and meaningfully suboptimal community outcomes as independent oversight decreases or, in the worst case, evaporates entirely.

I guess the "increasing costs for local government and meaningfully suboptimal community outcomes" bit. It's worth noting that I can't seem to find anything in the references that specifically links that with a decline in reporting by local news.
I think there's actually value in keeping the propaganda but maybe flagging and delisting it. Hell, I think you shouldn't be able to delete either you can maybe add an addendum or follow up for an apology or something but when bad people like Trump and Putin have an easy platform like this it's possible at some point they're going to say the "quiet part" aloud.

Like someone live streaming a crime spree. When it's easier to self incriminate maybe more justice gets met, maybe not.

It's a two edged sword. The best way I think would be use ai to basically score people based on maybe a political compass like with an x and y score then you at least can know a bit about the history and motives of someone.

Plus this would make finding bots easier because if you examine 3 month intervals and someone is top left of political compass then from to bottom right in a wild swing then back to something else it's likely they're playing multiple voices to stir up shit.

Then all your comments have a color or badge representative of your ideals. Could also score things like empathy.

That way also you could have a vote tally that's by side and a unified score.

At least then you kinda know everyone's motives or leanings so you know what to expect. Like I know how convos are going to go when I talk to my right wing family why not normalize knowing how you relate to a perfect stranger based on previous interactions they've had.

Of course this could lead to a dystopian social credit system that would be horrible..

For Americans: the description above summarizes most of the prejudices Canadians feel about Montreal. Like most prejudices they might start from a grain of truth but take it too far.

Montreal has lots of corruption[1]. Most of it is related to public construction and activities of traditional organized crime (Mafia and Camorra). But these are "lots" by the civilized Canadian standards, Montreal is still better than the overwhelming majority of the world. Besides, when it comes to Mafia/Camorra activities, Toronto is not much better. Also, when it comes to government relations with party donors, I think Alberta just does a better work of hiding corruption, it is rotten all the same.

"Without strong industry" means that Montreal lost its manufacturing sector to China and Mexico, like so many North American cities. However I'd argue that the city has managed to develop a good technology sector (particularly in software) and an active cultural industry.

"Including some pretty intense language laws" is probably the most correct sentence above. The language laws in Quebec are, IMO, very stupid. But, because Montreal is the place with most Anglophones in Quebec, the city is were the anachronism of these laws becomes more obvious.

My gut feeling says this is due to FreePascal supporting platforms[1] that only has short conditional jumps (-128 to +127 bytes), like i8086[2]. The alternative on those platforms would be a unconditional jump after the conditional, to jump over the call to the error handler.

On i8086 at least a non-taken conditional jump is 4 cycles while a unconditional jump is 15, for a total of 19 cycles, while a taken conditional jump is only 16. So it makes sense to almost always take the conditional jump.

Montreal housing remains affordable because the economy is crap but the social net (which the rest of the country pays for) is strong.

A tourist’s view (spending one whole week) is not representative of living there and should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
Who are the houses going to go to, then?
The author is using Toronto as a stand-in for a typical North American city, when in fact it's actually pretty bizarre and unique with respect to density-- I can't think of any American city structured similarly.
Although I agree with the spirit of the post, the critique of what 'feels' nice and livable is highly debatable, and I believe intensely culture-specific.

I was born and grew up in a very dense, urban city in Europe, and I love big, dense cities. They feel fun and lively, while suburbs feel empty and eerie. On the other hand my wife grew up in the countryside, so for her suburbs are quite and peaceful while cities are dirty and noisy.

Also one can cherry pick beautiful/horrible examples of any kind to make their point.
I don’t think we disagree on much. You’re probably right that my perspective is completely skewed by living in a major city. I will say though that reason local politicians don’t change anything, beyond losing pro police votes, is that the police literally engage in work stoppage as soon as anyone starts talking about reform, and then hands are tied.
Without it I don't know how the total absolute (as opposed to relative) climate damage associated with bitcoin compares with the total absolute climate damage associated with those other things.
It's entirely unreasonable to expect cities to look like some perfect gradient of density like something out of Cities Skylines; you'd expect the central desirable areas to be the most dense, and pockets of density here and there, but you'd still find single family homes even in dense areas for quite awhile. Paris didn't become as dense as it is overnight, and even there you can find relatively low-density housing quite close to the CBD.

The question I'd have is how close is a non single-family dwelling (exclude duplexes, too) - I'm in a relatively low density ruralish town, and there's an apartment building a block away on one side, and three on another.
Having a button in the search bar that's a blue circle that says Photo, etc, and then not having it start the generation process when clicked feels odd to me. Took me about 30 seconds to realize I had to hit the enter key. Would likely feel weirder on mobile.

I've been to Montreal a few times and live in Vancouver.

The missing middle of housing is what Vancouver could take from Montreal as the article states. The other thing it could take is the events (F1, ComedyFest, JazzFest, etc)

Skytrain, buses, and YVR are much better compared to Montreal.

It's a tossup as to which city is more corrupt with government-granted oligopolies and rent-seeking.

I'm confused by this subthread. Are people hitting the Spacebar-adjacent modifier key with their index finger? It's meant to be hit with the thumb, and it's far more ergonomic than the pinky holding the bottom-left modifier key. ⌘-A should be nothing but an easy thumb contraction.

I use the usual Caps Lock position as my "Control" key, which is faster and more ergonomic than any of the traditional modifier positions, but the second place is easily the Spacebar-adjacent modifier key (I use it as my Super key, for window manager controls like workspace switching and application launcher). I have Alt bound to the bottom-left position where Control usually is. Alt doesn't get used nearly as much, and that's the third-best spot. The spot in between the two bottom-row modifiers is the least accessible by far (hard to hit accurately with the pinky, out of reach of the thumb). 101-key keyboards don't have it at all. I've recently started using it as push-to-talk, which works fine since it's not used for anything else and you don't have to chord it with anything.
For a perspective that hasn't been shared all ready, I like modal editing because I A) don't like to use the mouse any more than I have to and B) have awful memory when it comes to complicated chords of keyboard shortcuts. Except for the bare basics (switching modes, jumping to the start and end of lines, etc), I heavily rely on much easier to remember names of commands to interact with my editor. Like toggling line numbering: I'm sure there's some ctrl-alt-F4 esque chord to do it in VS Code, but that'll be much harder for me to remember than :set number.

For similar reasons, I prefer the command line to GUI-based applications, that all seem to be built around either a love of clicking through a long series of cascading menus, or memorizing obtuse shortcuts. TUI applications like Vim integrate much more readily with my other command line tools, so it creates a much more seamless workflow.
This paragraph stood out to me:

> Don’t get me wrong, I think highrise condos and single family detached homes have their place. Lots of people want a large home with a lawn. But more than anything people want an affordable place to live, close to their work, their family, friends, etc. There's a reason the realtor's motto is location, location, location. It would be nice if detached homes and condo towers weren’t essentially the only two housing options in most of North America. It would be nice if more people could live where they want to live. I imagine that if people were given the option to live in the kinds of communities that I found in Montreal, many – not all, of course! – would.

I have also been watching videos on YouTube by a channel called "Oh The Urbanity!" which is about urban design and how cities can be made more walkable, bikeable, and all around easier and safer to get around in. They often highlight Montreal in their videos, and it's made me want to visit for a week just to experience what it would be like living in such a city. [1] is a video that had some particularly strong arguments that I enjoyed.

When you talk about "mid-range" in Intel's current product line up, that usually means the Arria 10 line. Those are typically around $1,000 for just the FPGA package itself, so I don't think we're realistically talking about something that's going to make meaningful impact on the hobbyist emulation market.

Even Houston and LA have density pockets, apartment buildings can be found and they often cluster together.

I think more and more single-family homes have to be the enemy, because there must always be an Other preventing your paradise from being reality.
I work in the industry on the commercial side. Access to that data and the ability to sell a homeowner's power generation and storage out from under them to the utility (double-dipping, because often the homeowner pays for the systems) is a big thing right now. If you buy solar or batteries and the company wants you to constantly be connected to their network, then they are somehow making money off of you, much like Sony will charge you for a TV then put ads on it.
