Here's what Radio-Canada (french CBC) has to say

https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2001279/incident-securi...

The Ministère de la Cybersécurité et du Numérique du Québec confirmed on Thursday that an incident of computer security due to an action by an employee was quickly corrected.

This employee has been transferred to une boîte de courriel personale des documents contenant des renseignements personnels de 529 employés de la fonction publique. Elle aurait agi de bonne foi et a collaboré avec le ministère, a indicé ce dernier en réponse aux questions de Radio-Canada.

The incident occurred on May 23 last year, when the employee was transferred to another public organization. She explained that she had transferred documents to be able to answer the questions of her replacement in order to facilitate the transition.

The ministry specified that the employee had access to this information in the framework of his duties.

Even if the intention of the employee was not to use the information for an illegal purpose, this practice contravenes the rules of safety in place intended for the personnel of MCN, the ministry emphasized in its email to Radio-Canada.

Par ailleurs, the ministère indicated that a complaint had been filed with the police so that an inquiry could be opened.

The employee was also sanctioned for not respecting the rules of the ministry, which ensured the destruction of the information transferred to the personal email box.

The Information Access Commission was also informed of the incident.

25 tons in a 5,000ton ore train is a rounding error.

A typical locomotive carries approximately 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel, which at 7lbs a gallon is already 17 tons, not counting the weight of the tanks.

The diesel engines will be even heavier (and they're Diesel Electric, so they already have electric traction motors, and the related electrical equipment).

Train's don't haul just one car, they haul dozens or even hundreds.

They need to give people a compelling reason to upgrade. I stopped upgrading my iPad when the new features didn’t make it any better for media consumption and the basic apps I run on it. The cost to upgrade just isn’t justified by little incremental changes.

I gave up trying to use it as an alternative for doing work on travel - my workflow just doesn’t translate well to that device no matter how much I tried, so I just carry the bigger 16” laptop everywhere. They’d have to make some pretty big changes to the OS to win me over for work.
Mozilla the organization has done stuff like boot people for politics, published an essay that says "we need more than deplatforming" using as one of their examples organizations deciding what I should see on the Internet - preferring outlets that Mozilla themselves like, naturally.

They publish stuff with the gist of "did you encounter other politics on YouTube, how scary".

This one's more just a lack of product focus + pursuit of coolness, but the organization spends money on getting a sneaker designer to make time-limited color themes for their browser and writes a pile of copy about how cool it is that a sneaker designer painted the browser blue - sorry, I can paint the browser blue to show that I'm an activist.

> What does being "woke" or "based" mean when it comes to concrete issues you have using their products?

It doesn't necessarily have to reflect deeply on the product, just that the org itself feels the need to make its politics clear. Sometimes, it does show, like Mozilla being pro others shaping what I see in ways agreeable to them, which was the straw that broke the camel's back for me dropping them.
Sometime it is simpler and cheaper to just lock the switch. It depends on how the manufacturing is done. In some cases (maybe not with Tesla) the feature is there but it may be defective. Sometimes it is worth making a completely different "cheap" version.

In any case, it shouldn't change anything for the end user, hardware or software, you pay a premium for premium features. And even if it involves actual hardware, it will cost you a lot more than what the part is worth. That's how manufacturers target both the premium and budget market with the same product. I think it benefits most people in the end, especially on the "cheap" side since people can get something they wouldn't be able to afford at all otherwise, at the cost of a bit of luxury.

Now, you can get smart, buy the cheap version and hack the software, or install much cheaper third party hardware. Same idea as ink refills for printers, or ad-blocking ad-supported websites. Often, that's you right, but don't expect the manufacturer to play along, you are on your own.

Activision-Blizzard is a publisher who bought the name of a developer. It helps to keep this in mind; they’re in the business of selling games and they only make games as a means to that end.

For example, Destiny 2 was considered by many fans to be too much like CoD and it’s easy to speculate that Activision pushed for this “shooter game” to have similar gameplay to their cash cow shooter game franchise because they expected it would be easier to sell. Never mind that the developers were intending to make an “MMOFPSRPG”, which would necessarily have distinct gameplay elements from CoD.
Postcards for ClassicThesis

NAT, the classic example of technical debt created when scalability is not in every designer mind.
A publisher publishes. Once something is published, once something is public, the control a publisher has over the published thing is limited. For example, a publisher can not choose who reads a book after it is sold, who reads an article after it got printed. It is not a given at all that a publisher should have any say about being indexed. The search engine relies on a public fact - X wrote Y. That's legal (limitations apply).

The position of Brave of not accepting to be blacklisted if not all search engines are blacklisted is a pragmatic one. It works against Google's search monopoly, but still gives them some legal coverage since the robots.txt is not completely ignored, in case that indeed matters somewhere. I think it's an elegant approach well suited for the current state of the web, one that serves the greater good. And Brave, but that's completely fine.
If some of you aren't aware, there was a famous semiconductor company - Fairchild Semiconductor[1], founded by William Shockley, Nobel prize laureate (who got his prize for discovery of transistor effect), that engaged in similar bullshit.

> To call other things "cheese" that aren't cheese is torturing the very definition of the word, much like "milk"

Yes, if it doesn't have torture, blood, puss, pesticides, antibiotics and estrogens in it, it can't be called milk or cheese. Why torture? How else would you call forced impregnation, year after year, and forced separation of mothers and calves? Just to shorten the cow's life from 25+ years to 5 and then turn her to burgers.

So you probably don't drink beer, eat baked goods or farmed mushrooms too. Got it.

Btw, there are other coagulants, like nigari, epsom salt, calcium chloride, lemon juice or vinegar ... Not everybody is scared of 1 tbsp of gypsum in several kg of tofu, so that's why they probably use it. In my view it's much better than contents of someone's stomach. But I'm me.

I wonder what other poisonous chemicals were there. Do you have the list? :)

> I just drive and when my tank gets low I pull into a gas station and fill up in a few minutes and move on with my day.

In my ICE, I have to think "dang, getting low on gas, I better leave a bit earlier to make sure I can get gas next time" and then take time out of my day every other week to get gas.

In my EV, I practically never stop at all because I leave the house every day with a full tank.
Perhaps your friends work in a region like the GOM where anoxic zones are a substantial and growing issue or regions where management remains poor so the sentiment would be accurate for their domain, but it isn't even close to holding true globally for all fish stocks, neither effects of low oxygen nor overharvesting etc. There were big improvements in stock assessment and fisheries management around 15-20 years ago and many formerly overfished stocks are on a positive trend since [1]

Oh man. That sucks, I’m sorry to hear that. I wonder what chintzy, value-destructive revenue generation opportunity they have in mind with these accounts. A one-time auction to the highest bidder seems like it wouldn’t generate enough juice to be worth the squeeze (and who on earth would bid knowing they could lose it at any time)? Maybe monthly auctions to have a short username. Maybe a username land value tax where each month you have to pay an amount inversely proportional to the length of your username to keep it.

It’s fascinating how many people feel the need to chime in with “well, ACTUALLY.” Yeah, we know it’s not literally theft. Your mind is gonna be blown when you find out software piracy doesn’t involve boats.
Erlang does have that nuts and bolts simplicity going for it, for sure. If it allowed rebinding on variable names and had pipelines, it would be very attractive to me. Elixir comes with a Ruby-esque syntax which I don't personally prefer, but I have gotten used to it. The built-in formatter helps out greatly there.

I just go all in on Elixir module design just like I would in an ML dialect. So structs, module types, custom types, typespecs, docs, Credo turned up to 11, run Dialyzer, etc. So I embrace some of the verbosity. Some don't prefer the style, but those are all features already there, and for me, it helps bridge the gap for Elixir being dynamically typed. Although there are developments coming to give it a static type system.

As someone else said, the best you can do is try and get some media attention and generate some bad press. It probably sounds more rewarding than it will be though.

Of note is how lame their offer is. Like because they "appreciate your loyalty" they'll give you some shitty adjacent handle that nobody had claimed. Realistically just tell them to fuck off, that they should be personally disgusted with themselves, and leave.

As far as I understood this is very much intended to be used in multi-threaded code as well. If you are sure that your object won't be called in multiple threads you can just do the simple "if(ref == null)" without locking and it should be reasonably fast - just not constant-foldable by the JVM.
I think the best bet is to figure out how to get desalination plants to also scrub CO2 and lithium from seawater. With government subsidies, it might actually turn a profit, and we'll need to do all three of those things anyway.

(Scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere would also work, but would take longer to address ocean acidification.)

Caller ID isn't authenticated. The old way is that PBX systems could set the Caller ID to give number for extension. The new way is that VoIP callers set whatever number they want.

The FCC is pushing STIR/SHAKEN protocols to add authentication. It is supposed to have been rolled out in US in 2021. I don't know if it solves the problem of overseas VoIP calls since it sounds like only authenticates between providers in US.
> it solves problems that I don't have, and ignores the ones I do have

This is exactly what I suspect of virtually any kind of app, software, platform, etc. I’m advertised as intended to help me with ADHD. ADHD is expresses itself in such a broad variety of ways. I just don’t trust that any kind of app is actually so tuned into my experience of ADHD that it could actually be helpful.

I hesitate to say this: but, it’s hard hard not to feel offended at times by the ways in which ADHD appears to be radically oversimplified to fit into a narrow product specification and pitched to people who might really need help.
Nice try. I’d say this manipulative BS is the real root cause.

People in battleground areas often have buses of activists brought in from neighboring states to do door to door canvassing. Among other things.

Thanks for calling everyone who wants to be able to cast their vote without active harassment from people with no stake in their community or reputation to worry about first ‘the root of the problem’ though.
It's the exact title of the article.
Based on my experiences on this forum and how my vote counts seem to go, it seems the majority of readers are not anti-medication, but the people who ARE tend to be highly vocal and combatative about it. There’s also the whole vocal contingent on here of people that insist that our disease isn’t real and that we should just try harder and have some discipline.

For me personally, I am interested in exploring every avenue available to me to help me get away from medication, because I kinda hate it. The results I get make it worth it, but every medication I try makes me feel bad physically, and I hate the extreme ups and downs throughout the day that stimulants can cause.
I'm sure I'll be downvoted for saying this, but I sort of feel Elon Musk thrives on bad press. Someone told him one day that there's no such thing as bad press and he really took it to hart.

I've used Macs extensively for years because that's what most companies provide for software hires, but the m2 air was the first Mac I've ever purchased with my own money, and I don't regret it.

it is true, as far as i know, that we have no records of the romans eating dogs

but nothing about the romans is simple

there are many foods the romans commonly ate (in rome, during at least some of its near-millennium of culinary change) that few or none of their modern descendants do. these include silphium, garum, liquamen, mallow leaves, marinated sow udders, peacock, flamingo, emmer, lamprey, lamprey semen, sea urchins, bitter vetch, dormice, azerole, open-arse, and raisin wine; most of these were considered delicacies, which is how we know about the romans eating them at all

we do know that the romans did ritually sacrifice dogs in rome, and they claim that the oscans (another italic people) roasted dogs as part of a ritual sacrifice, so romans eating dogs, even in rome, seems plausible to me

moreover, we're talking about an outlying province, 1400 km from the capital, with the potential for significantly different local customs — even if there were no oscans in the legions
I feel this is going to be a pattern more and more common. It already has been increasing for decades. We have royally messed up this planet and its ecosystems.
They even come with an explanatory pamphlet.
I honestly don't think they care. The OP's already done what they want, which is to make a stink. We all do what Musk wants by talking about him when we really should just be ignoring him.

> seeking out work environments where I can cooperatively seek out tasks, rather than having someone try to order me to do what they want me to do.

This is precisely why I chose academia. My whole day is mine, no one tells me what to do except which class to teach, and even then I can teach it how I please. It’s perfect for my adhd. They just let me loose and I do science and bring them money. Perfect arrangement. Sometimes I can be a stereotypical absent minded professor tho, but that doesn’t ever really cut against me. Students complain sometimes but I do my best for them and get high reviews, so I think I’m managing okay.
Back then, the dealer would remove the radio before handing the car over to you. In its place would be a panel blocking the hole in the dashboard.

I used to work for a radio shop, and it was reasonably common for us to remove the radio when customers did not want it in their new car. Some wanted to have no radio for religious reasons, some businesses wanted the absolute cheapest vehicle possible for their employees, most wanted to install their own aftermarket radio.
Sure, that’s the way I see it too. Isn’t the way the car manufacturers see it, though. And I’m not able to build my own car. So…

if anyone here hasn't had the joy of reading Terry, just know that it was absolutely delightful and nails both humor and fantasy and social commentary in a way that very few people in history have ever done. I regret many things in life but reading the Discworld Novels is not one of them.

opinion is also split on where to start, since it is generally agreed that the early books weren't the best, and yet the recurring characters do develop over time. I started with Feet of Clay, which took me like 3 attempts before i finally "got it". I now often recommend Small Gods to people, because it is a self contained book with only cameos from recurring characters, and it has really nice commentary on religion, reflexivity, and the role of belief in our actions and realities. I also particularly recommend the Night Watch series, just because Vimes is pretty much Terry's self insert, and as a business minded person I also loved the later Moist series (eg Going Postal).
