You don't understand.

There's layers of rot that have created an untenable situation. The past few years Canada has become all about taking shortcuts and juicing numbers as much as possible. Bad decisions and incompetence create a feedback loop where we dig even deeper. If we built more houses, it would devalue the rest of the housing market - just for a start, it would wipe out the retirement plans for millions. It's not going to happen. It's a depressing downwards spiral where there is no easy exit. Not to mention that Canada wouldn't be able to execute that kind of plan because different parts of the government are trying to do different things.
This would be a stronger theory if the UFO triggers in congress weren’t also the most credulous / disingenuous believers in numerous other conspiracy theories, and only slightly further behind in their advocacy for corruption.

Maybe there is fraud and the wrong people are getting rich from it?
Its ok to subsidize banks in the US, but we can't subsidize manufacturing (like every other country) for some reason.

>if you compare the Windows machine to the average spec from the time it was released you'd probably find comparable performance.

This is not the case, he specifically debunks it it in the twitter thread. He took a contemporary late 90s machine with modest specs, and it was still snappier than the modern PC with Windows 10.

And even if that were the case, it does not follow that we should accept modern machines not being able to load Notepad instantly. Modern machines are hundreds of times more powerful than 20 years ago, but Notepad has not become hundreds of times more featureful.
A error margin of +/- 7 days still beats a error of 9 months.
They'd probably rather that you didn't consider their competitors.
I have mostly old hardware (the best computers I have is a smartphone and a macmini from 2012). I'm disappointed when I load newer Linux distros and they appear slower. Even though I now have SSDs. Browsers are really greedy. I have a machine with 2GB of ram and a single core CPU. It's a low power rig. But cannot run Windows 10, it just about did when I first installed it. Debian runs better, but a browser kills it. It's a one app only. We had someone donate us a Windows 3.1 rig once, at the time we had 600MHZ Windows 2000 machines and ME. And we were gob smacked at how fast the 3.1 machine was on some ancient hardware.

Windows always used to have that fresh lightweight install vibe. But as soon as it started indexing, doing updates, and virus scanning it would drag to nothing. Along with all those system tray apps that would take an age to fire up.

Partial suspend to disk made things boot faster. Like not doing the whole driver scan thing on boot. I don't know if Linux has ever taken this on board. It's a blessing and a curse as Windows doesn't like being ported to another machine, whereas my Debian disks I can swap between some desktops and laptops without much issue.

There's also that weird delayed animation thing, that is meant to feel like polish. But slows down desktops. Weird animation effects and what not. I tend to run XFCE and turn off any thing like that.

I'm using a Chromebook right now and this is an old machine, but still feels pretty snappy. Certainly weird and wonderful experiences between hardware. I have High Sierra on an SSD on my Mac Mini, and that's slower by far to boot than my Linux Arch box on the same age hardware. Having said that the UI always feels more responsive as it's tailored for that.

Linux suffers lots for me with kcompactd or whatever it is. Some weird memory disk swap stuff. If I accidentally code an infinite loop my machine turns to complete mud, and takes about 5 minutes to recover. Whereas it boots to the browser in under 1minute. Weird huh?
I'm already in the Express Entry system. My CRS score is much lower than that of a student or someone with work experience in Canada, though, so the odds of me getting a draw are very low.

I'm already aware of the healthcare issues and the housing costs. I have a region picked out that mitigates some of that.
I agree with but and I find it difficult to avoid those types of comments myself, I need to try to control it.

Something I found very cool was in one subreddit where the OP could tag the post to exclude any off topic comments, then comments like jokes etc. were deleted (I believe by moderation, or users reporting, not sure) then the post would only contain on topic discussions, I found it very interesting. Not perfect but definitely seems better.
You can expect an influx of companies taking advantage of a base of talent. That's why startups pay SV rent.
I totally don't understand this, when and why this started? Was it really just cause of Notion?
Haha! It's been a while since I've seen either. My recollection is University was just nonstop good jokes, while Inc rolls a bit slower. I certainly wouldn't argue with someone who prefers Inc, though! Both are fantastic :)
> I am guessing I am telling you the obvious when I tell you to backup all meaningful pictures and videos

My Dad died in 2021 and like the OP above I have his phone still connected to power and photos videos, calls etc. on it.

What you say is correct but I haven't the courage to look at the photos yet. Videos will be especially hard much more real than a picture.

But yes I have to act.
It's the best animated movie I've ever seen I believe.

> Unless everyone is trying to live in Vancouver and Toronto

They are, pretty much.

> Do you not have enough construction workers to build houses?

I don't think most people understand what's going on with Canada. Relative to their population size, the number of immigrants they're bringing in is absolutely insane. 500K+ a year with no signs of slowing down. And those people all need housing TODAY. Canada needs to commit to an absolutely massive, never-ending nationwide construction project to keep up with demand.
> Canada is seeing record emigration of it's own citizens (amongst other reasons, it's less affordable, less opportunity and lower salaries than the US).

According to the numbers this is not true. What specific numbers can you show that backs up yoru point?

The point is that although your idea might be good in theory, you should formulate how we get there in practice. Because that's the hard part.
> because those are different categories of thing that I refuse to examine

Let me examine them for you:

Freedom of expression is the right to express any opinion. Pornography is not an opinion, and therefore there is no free-speech right to it. Beliefs like "race X is inferior" are opinions, and therefore protected (though threats like "kill all X," and actions like discrimination, are not). The manner in which speech is expressed can be restricted—"your honor, I blew up the Twin Towers to express my belief that the US is the great Satan, it was free speech" won't fly in court. But these restrictions must be neutral to the content of the speech.

There is one additional restriction commonly considered to apply to free expression: the government is allowed to criminalize lying (saying something you know is untrue). Defamation, fraud, false advertising, etc can be regulated.

The US Supreme Court case Brandenburg v. Ohio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio) is a good example of how the boundaries of free expression work.

> The Court held that the government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action". Specifically, the Court struck down Ohio's criminal syndicalism statute, because that statute broadly prohibited the mere advocacy of violence.

If I say "politician X deserves to be killed," that's protected speech because I'm expressing an opinion. If I say, "look, politician X is in the room with us, get him!" I am going beyond opinion, and the government can punish me for breaking the law.
You are missing the third option: no scanning anywhere.

Shortly afterwards, they rolled out a local non-cloud API for any non v1 devices.

Unfortunate that older devices didn't get it, but at least they're following future-proof best practices going forward.
I eat pretty much the same thing everyday.

I love food, and I love cooking...but, it get's hard to decide what to eat when there are so many options readily available. It's often not worth the effort

I would much rather eat the same thing that works for me 6 days a week, and then have a nice meal on the weekend.

It seems to work for me...
> Electrifying everything is not going to help at all if we are still burning fossil fuels to make the eletricity.

If you read more about Rewiring America, they're focused less on the supply side (which most of us can't really do anything about) and more on the demand side which many of us can do something about.

My understanding is that this is strategic because no one else was really focusing on it. In some ways it's easier to replace 1 million big gas-fired power plants with solar and wind (especially given the current economics and trends) than it is to replace 1 billion small consumer machines. Both need to happen, but helping 300 million people heat their homes without emissions in the next 30 years is a hell of a challenge and needs specific focus.
No doubt it's a difficult problem. Personally I would start with more straightforward measures such as a zero tolerance policy for violent crime. If someone commits a violent crime of any sort in their adopted country before achieving citizenship they should be swiftly and permanently deported.

Like publicly traded tobacco companies lying about addiction for decades? So naive, you must be young.
I don’t believe that anyone is saying that it isn’t. That doesn’t preclude the government from preventing a “real problem” going to waste.
right, ORM is great for most scale and complexity out there. lots of folks that can’t stand it have been bit by it being used for heavier analytical use cases.

example: a dev writes a loop that will call a method that runs “user.PutOrders(list) when user.Name != Fred” and your database crashes because every row is scanned by that query and its running that query in a loop. often it’s really difficult to show that this query caused the issue.

ORM makes it way easier to do that, but the other things it makes easier still make it worth using. except for rare scenarios unique to specific ORMs themselves, usually with problems attributed to ORM are just bad (and poorly tested) code

Why don't you limit other subgroups for your advantage? Women used to be like that but it's not cool anymore. People from certain race used to be limited for the advantage of another race but it's not the case anymore. Why just don't drop all these shenanigans and adopt a meritocracy? A meritocracy will yield a much better society where you won't need to be from the privileged class to have a good life.

Your work is inspiring and humbling. Keep on.
> Canada's population is already 23% immigrant, highest of any G7 country. There may be less of that 'quasi-xenophobic sentiment towards foreigners' than where you are.

Australia is even more immigrant than Canada – around 30% overseas born.

But I think part of why Australia (and maybe Canada too) have less of a problem with xenophobia than some countries with less immigrants – greater selectiveness in the immigration intake, and skewing it more towards highly skilled/educated people.

If you take in 100,000 university graduates from China and India, versus 100,000 random refugees and economic migrants from anywhere at all – it is unsurprising the former cause significantly less social problems than the latter, and those social problems tend to fuel xenophobia.
“Policy X is useless because it did not stop every single instance of the thing it was trying to reduce” is a fallacious argument. Seat belts did not halt deaths in auto accidents, etc.

Secrecy may or may not be warranted, but this is not a good argument against it.

I'm in the Express Entry pool. However, my CRS score is 380. I don't know French, I'm 41, and I have no Canadian work experience. I'm unlikely to get a draw.

It's possible that my odds will improve with the new tech draw, though.
Amazing work Tesla. You did it.
I work in an office for a company that's headquartered in another state, so even when in the office it's often been a "remote work" experience for me. What we have today is a natural and logical progression from all the improvements meant to make it easier for people to work together, regardless of location.

You have to remember at one time people actually left their desks to go to a conference room and meet. The first iteration of bringing in remote workers to that was often speakerphone systems maybe with multiple microphones if you were lucky. You'd literally have twenty people in a room all talking to each other. It was nearly impossible to keep up if multiple conversations broke out and often it was work to be heard. There was no view of the whiteboard and people had to remember to share any materials and be explicit as they advanced through it.

Cisco's telepresence system that tried to create an experience mirroring sitting across from each other at a table was a huge step up, but still it was a large hardware investment and the rooms were a scarce resource.

Fast forward to today and everyone has the "Tandberg" equivalent of a single person telepresence device that was limited to senior management. In fact everyone has a better experience at their desktop with universal access to web-hosted whiteboard and collaborative tools, and (assuming broadband network speeds are home) all those things work equally well at home or in the office.

So the progression of making it easier and easier for remote offices to collaborate has reached its logical conclusion. At least where I work it was pitched as a way to cut travel costs. And if I'm being cynical it's worked in that the senior staff are still free to travel while small departments now share travel budget that was previously available on a per-person basis. My personal corporate card has a credit line that's nearly what my boss' travel budget is for fourteen people.

So with no need to travel and no local staff or coworkers, it's frankly better to work from home: same zoom calls, same excalidraw, same figma, confluence, teams, etc. And no scheduling a desk for the day. No loud coworkers yelling on their headset when they get excited. I can have my preferred mouse and un-office-friendly mechanical keyboard. I can wear a lapel microphone and use my also un-office-friendly speakers instead of being forced to wear a headset or earbuds. I can have a wide screen monitor and a better camera. In short: productivity-wise my experience is the same or better, but comfort-wise it is materially better in every way. When every other coworker is already in another state, for me and a lot of people like me there's literally no downside.

And there's zero sympathy for corporations that worked so hard to make it easy to work from any other office only to discover it's just as easy to work from home.
It really is all electron apps. The best I’ve used is VSCode (by far), but it’s still a resource hog.

“Everyone” in this context means “the places one individual person is aware of”, and when compared to _actual_ “everyone”, is mostly irrelevant though. The things you’re complaining about are solved problems, you just don’t care/refuse to acknowledge those solutions, it seems. Which is fine! Like I said, you can just say you don’t like something without trying to smear it.

Assuming this isn’t just a big psyop trying to scare US adversaries, and that UFO’s are real… the US was the first to detonate nukes in 1945, and on its own territory, which might explain some of it. Maybe the UFO’s were investigating how scientifically and technologically advanced humanity was becoming, and naturally focused on nuclear tech as a leading indicator.

The 1936 Berlin Olympics TV broadcast might also have alerted them to humanity, and travel time of the broadcast plus travel time of UFO’s to Earth (assuming they have lightspeed capability) might have resulted in them arriving right around when nukes were invented (if they’re from, say, Alpha Centauri which is 4 light-years away).

The US and Europe also have free press where things like this are more likely to be publicly reported than in say, the USSR back in the day, or China under the CCP. Which in conjunction with the above may explain sightings maps like this one, where sightings are most frequent in the US and secondarily in Europe:

https://updb.app/map?zoom=1.00&lon=149.0917&lat=37.3003

Also, if you search number of reports by date ranges, look at what you get:

1-1943: 1566 sightings reports

1944-2023: 294,641 sightings reports

Two orders of magnitude more sightings reports in the 80yrs since nukes were invented, vs in the almost two millennia previously. Obviously we also had more robust and technologically advanced media in the latter time frame, so that contributes much to the discrepancy. But still a huge discrepancy.

I think having good optimizing compilers goes a long way.

I.e., to the extent they reduce the need for source code to cater to the underlying CPU, less effort is needed to port software to a new CPU.

I think GCC and especially LLVM are really reducing the barriers to bringing new CPUs to market.

Maybe for GPUs as well because of shader compilers?
I wonder what the impact of making software development a profession would be, when you can easily teach yourself the mechanics of development with just a laptop from anywhere in the world.

If there was a restriction that said Californian companies can only hire guilded developers, that might form an effective protest in this case in particular; but in general, I have a hard time imagining software development being contained in a bureaucratic box. Seems like it would add needless/expensive/frustrating bureaucracy without much obvious benefit.
GitHub's gotten so much worse since Microsoft bought it. The drop in quality compared to when I used it in school is remarkable.
FWIW, desktop Windows 10 HDR is broken too.
Every packet traverses multiple such core routers (most likely from multiple internet providers), so 1 Tbit/s from A to B requires many more Tbit/s of actual hardware capacity sold.
Or take the edge capacity of small FTTH providers and you get to quite large theoretical numbers too.
Hundreds of Tbit/s easily if one is offering Gbit/s or faster service (my ISP has around 1Tbit/s of equipment installed just to service around a 300m radius of residential homes).
Both are true for Starlink as well: In case both source and target are not visible to the same satellite they have to be routed via multiple hops or sent upstream (ground station) to the rest of the internet. The edge capacity (RF up/downlink) boasts insane numbers, but the actual internal backbone is much more limited.
For consumer it is less of an issue since they won't mostly fill up that 1Gbit/s service they have, but businesses will absolutely fill that up (so you can oversell much less).

Starlink doesn't have nice overview of actual specs of future satellites, so I can only use what people have figured out or what they have published.
But you are right about the number of satellites, I looked at the wrong column (it was for phase 1 and not 3), so density will indeed be much higher, so from that perspective it will be somewhat more capable (depending on fast/slow their rollout is).
And it's not clear if it would actually be cheaper for SpaceX to have such customers (since some of the traffic would go to the rest of the internet - requiring ground station resources) or go elsewhere on the planet (filling up inter-satellite capacity), but that's not too much different from how regular ISPs have to plan (some customers are cheaper for them than others).
I didn't see if there was a way to customize ingredients lists, but it a lot of recipes I make and use the ingredients list will be more descriptive of the specific type of ingredient, and in the actual recipe it will just use a general term so it's easier to read, for example the ingredients would read:

* 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted

* 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed

...

and then in the actual recipe it would just say "in a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar..." and "in a medium bowl, combine bananas, butter, eggs..."

It seems in this lang it seems like it would need to read: "in a large bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour (sifted), sugar..." and "in a medium bowl, combine medium ripe bananas (mashed), butter, eggs..."

It just makes the actual recipe part messier than it needs to be. But like I said, I only skimmed the spec, maybe there is a way to customize and be more descriptive in the ingredients list.
