No, those are vastly different things unless you're a looter looking to gain a veneer of ethical legitimacy. Let me explain as an archaeologist:

1. Consent is key in any excavations or artifact collection. Sometimes this will be through broad government-granted powers to specific organizations to rescue sites in immediate danger of destruction (i.e. rescue archaeology), but more commonly it's through permits to conduct research. You have a duty to find the stakeholders and ask permission.

2. You need to document provenance and minimize damage both to the site and collected artifacts. In many cases, leaving things in situ is the best way to preserve them. Most sites don't need to be excavated.

3. Artifacts need to be collected in accordance with ethical norms. That means things like no public photos of the deceased.

4. You don't ever sell anything you've collected. You're rescuing it or collecting it for scientific purposes. You don't own it.
Call quality was not the factor. It was that zoom was easy for people to use, no download required, just click a link and enter your name and you’re connected. No logins or downloads so old people could actually work with it.

You're right the links are removed in a content-neutral manner, but the law also hurts smaller publishers more than larger publishers because the larger publishers are getting direct money contributions from the government to compensate them but the smaller ones aren't. So the most likely net effect of the law is to put out of business a lot of smaller news media in Canada and only the well-connected large news businesses will remain.
The debt load is worth the risk for someone who's wanted to be an engineer all their life and has seen signs in their schooling they are likely to be good at it. I think the debt load is very questionable, for someone who is at the margin between being an engineer and not being an engineer, has no indicators they would be good at it. Plenty of engineers (especially outside big cities) end up peaking at $80k/year which isn't worth taking a huge amount of debt for especially if their alternative is earning $60k/year already.

> In the end: We need to be done with hydrocarbons, like yesterday. And the people who've staked their political livelihood to it realize this, and they're distorting the entire political culture out of desperation to hold onto what they have.

We can set the vitriol aside and discuss this point, as this is where we disagree. Our way of life is almost entirely dependent on hydrocarbons. Forget gasoline cars and diesel trucks, we can't even build roads or medical devices without them. Just take a look at a saline IV. We have no substitute for the flexibility and durability of plastic. Pick any item in your house, it's everywhere. Same with lubricants, they are in everything. Electric motors require brushes and lubricants too. Switching wholesale will cause will be very costly, and without acceptable substitutes, cause a huge reduction in the quality of life. It's essentially economic and lifestyle suicide. And for what? Canada contributes ~2 percent of global emissions. Reducing that to zero still won't make a dent in global emissions. China and India just need to build a few more coal plants to make up the difference. Meanwhile we will have destroyed our way of life irrevocably.

It's far more pragmatic to have a slow, phased rollout of eco-friendly technologies. Alternatives have to be built and tested to show that their total ecological footprint is lower. In many cases, the alternatives don't even exist yet. They need to be designed first. Look at paper straws, turns out they're impossible to make without plastic, and the plastic used is completely under-studied. It leaches into the drink and is more likely than not toxic. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, feel-good thinking is not a substitute for science.

Climate change is a global problem. Whether we like it or not, our part to play in it is quite small. We should do what's best for the country and its people.
Well, in defense of this practice, I must say that app developers usually need to consider the levels of fraud that can be perpetrated here. If a foreign network accesses their app or website and commits fraud, there is no recourse to law enforcement, no reimbursements, no nothing. So unfortunately it seems that they make these sacrifices in the name of convenience and expediency, and they perhaps anticipate that they're locking out a small percentage of folks like you, along with thousands of North Korean and Russian cybercriminals.

Everything who owns? The corporation?

What you think is a harsh fine, even "everything they own" is nothing more than the cost of doing business. Even if you seize a few tens of billions of dollars, what's that compared to the trillions they've earned and paid out as dividends over the last century?

> For some reason police can do it to the poor,

Which is an interesting discussion if you wanted to have it, but is not even slightly relevant to this one.

What do you expect the police to do with oil rigs and tanker fleets and refineries and gas stations? What do you expect them to do with office buildings filled with conference rooms and thousand dollar conference room chairs?

Do you want to pile it into a big bonfire and burn it ironically? Do you put it in a landfill and bulldoze them under the ground? Do you want to sell that stuff on Craigslist yard-sale style for the next 60 years at a penny on the dollar?

Not to mention now you've put a 100,000 people out of work, probably more. I guess making them starve because they took a gas station job is justice in your mind.

> but their possessions doesn't have same rights as they do. So take it all away.

The interesting thing about "just fuck their rights" apoplectic outbursts like yours is, someone's likely to take you up on it someday. You're just likely to be the target more than whoever it is you think you hate.

The sad fact is that none of this can ever be fixed until some large fraction of humanity understands the problem. I've done my part, but you insist on remaining ignorant.

The fact that you describe Switzerland as “mostly homogeneous” really undermines the credibility of your argument.
I think that's missing the point. Sweden has been an overbearing consensus culture with relatively limited room for debate or differences in opinions or values beyond the superficial.

Minorities like the Roma have been permitted to exist, but they've had zero place in the public sphere.
Circling back on this: "Why can't we be like Norway and use the profits from oil to make our energy infrastructure greener? Why does it have to be a zero-sum game?"

Why indeed? You might recall there was a federal government that attempted to engineer this kind of scenario, 40ish years ago, in the form of the National Energy Program. I grew up hearing all about the horrible NEP and the horrible things it tried to do to Alberta... We're still living with the fall-out from that, and in large part .. a lot of the western hate for Trudeau Jr. is deflected flack from Trudeau Sr's attempt to enact what you just asked for.

At least Lougheed made an attempt at something like what Norway has in the form of the Alberta Heritage Fund. But it didn't go far enough and has been chipped away at by his successors.

Me too. Here in Europe credit cards are a lot less popular for daily use. Most people I know have debit cards for in person shopping. Prepaid debit for Internet shopping or they use alternative payment methods (blik, fast transfers etc). That's why I found it so annoying certain "global" companies like Google insist people pay for some of their services with a credit card or an account linked debit card(no prepaid cards). I don't see what benefit they get from forcing people to open a separate account. If there is no money in that account they will not be able to take a payment. It's exactly like a prepaid card(assuming you disable overdraft). So why don't they accept prepaid? To piss people off I guess.
In their list of examples of historical cancellations-before-airing, they missed one of the most baffling. "Heil Honey I'm Home!" was a 1990 British sitcom, stylistically parodying 1970s US sitcoms (over-the-top canned laughter, applause whenever characters enter the room, etc), about Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun as a suburban couple, along with their Jewish neighbours. Somehow, eight episodes of this were made (though not shown), and a pilot was actually _screened_, by a proper company (one of the predecessor companies to what's now Sky).

It's very difficult to understand how anyone thought this was a reasonable thing to make.

I am actively moving away from any type of serveillance device and software, where possible of course. Moved away from the data scraping OS made by windows to linux. De google, de apple, and spread the word. There may not be much we can do against the sheer amount of public surveillance we enjoy, a level that makes the STASI and KGB pale in comparison, other than voting voting and voting. Protesting and vandalism would only ridicule any attempt.

Oh and I feel that there may also be a market for people that want an online presence but in a protected way. So starting businesses around that may also help. Nothing fancy. Just simple stuff such as not tracking users and not manipulating them. Requires avoiding venture capital, and that's fine. No point in being a paper millionaire with no life anyway.
my assumption was Cisco no longer cared about that business line. Is that wrong?
> There is plenty of interesting content. More than ever before.

It sure seems like the opposite is true to me. There's more content, but 95+% of it is garbage. There seems to be less good content than ever before.

Wellp, at this rate they should just ask SpaceX to do it for Mars and piggyback off it for everything else.
I think the headline makes this sound more dramatic of a problem than it really is.

The real question is whether any of the imperfections will stop buyers. I personally don’t think it will. The kind of person who wants a Cybertruck has their mind made up.

I also think that it wouldn’t be that hard for Tesla to make a non-stainless version in the future. Maybe I’m naive about the manufacturing process but I don’t think that would constitute “starting over.”

Westerners have no clue when it comes to the huge diversity existing in India on Social/Religious/Linguistic/Economic/Caste/Nutrition etc. parameters and how each is being "gamed" by vested interests both in India and abroad to suit their agendas. Hence "Equal Opportunities" does not guarantee "Equal Outcomes". The wikipedia page "Reservations in India" linked to in my above comment gives the details and finer points which i highly recommend reading in entirety to understand the complexities involved.
> what would you lose by not doing any of that?

Not much, all things considered. But I have a pretty bad memory, and it can be hard to remember which books by an author I've read, and which ones I haven't.

The thing you want exists. It's called the Fediverse.

For the most part, when people talk about "The Fediverse" they mean ActivityPub based sites. You could argue the point, since NNTP is "federated" as well, and one could certainly conceive of federating between the NNTP space and the ActivityPub space.

I'm a Fediverse user, fan, and advocate (mindcrime@fosstodon.org), but I specifically mentioned Usenet, because the "thing I want" in this context is, in fact, Usenet. Now if somebody wants to do the work to rebuild the Usenet hierarchy on top of the "wild west" that is the litany of servers on the Fediverse, build client support into Thunderbird, etc., then sure... that could probably turn into something interesting.

You wouldn't have liked Usenet in its heyday

Please don't presume to tell me what I would or wouldn't like. That's incredibly disrespectful. And in point of fact, I did like Usenet in its heyday.

I don't think they are dismissive points. I think specially the ending makes a whole lot of sense to me. I'd give negative shits about the environment if I struggled for food or housing or basic essentials.

The same way the best way to tackle crime is through better education for the people, getting the existing people out of poverty might be the single best thing we can do to have them realize the impact, reproduce less, and contribute to a solution. I also think this way ends up being pragmatic because it doesn't require "so we change everyone's minds" as step 1.
France built this hydro because it could not have moved from fossil fuels to 95% nuclear.

You can't realistically bring nuclear up and down in line with a daily demand curve. Hydro provides the peaking. Pumped hydro is better for this, since it provides both positive and negative balancing, but any hydro will do if there is sufficient storage.

If you have a good balance of nuclear and hydro, the nuclear will run close to full capacity and the hydro at less than half capacity, averaged over a day or longer. This is by design.

Yeah, I was going off the article's statement that it was about reducing value of assets. Makes more sense if write-offs are included as well.

Devil's advocate's attempt: because most traffic from foreign countries is fraud, automated security suites, potential DDoS or people trying credit cards.

Generic text error only "You don't have permission to access "http://www.cupertino.org/$(SERVE_403)/?" on this server." What are they protecting?

> Social media is terrible, why can't we quit it?

Is it though? Don't you think maybe the billion of social media users around the world are getting some value out of it? It's a pretty shallow take.
Or maybe its more "have the opinions you want, but stick to facts when making objective statements"? You can think that every Republican is a evil monster or that Democrats want to destroy America, but when it comes time to back up your argument just making stuff up certainly shouldn't be rewarded on social media sites.
Best comes in 2 flavors, I think.

Technically best - dedicated AV receiver that supports as many channels as you're interested in (5.1, 7.1.2?), if you're looking at anything above bargain bin this probably includes Airplay 2. Dedicated hard-wired speakers for each channel, making sure to get a set that has good frequency response and focus on a subwoofer that provides adequate range to prevent roll-off.

Advantages: incredibly broad options, can go as high or low-end as you want. Independently up-gradable, most components are very repairable, often this provides the lowest latency possible, generally has the least amount of "magic" in the software stack.

Disadvantages: high price floor relative to a lot of consumers, usually lots of wires (wireless options exist for satellites, but add disadvantages of latency and software messiness). Adds lots of boxes to a room (front LR pair usually kind of large, center channel kind of large, receivers are often pretty large).

Aesthetic best - Broadly speaking, soundbars. Sonos is the name to beat generally here. I like the Sony HT-A9 as it breaks the mold a bit, I think there's probably a lot of disagreement as to what stands out in this space. I think Samsung stuff is generally well regarded, the HW-Q990C is spoken highly of.

Advantages: very few wires and very few boxes. Usually fairly affordable.

Disadvantages: lower overall quality and customization. If anything breaks, you're at the whim of the manufacturer.

I've recently gone the route of the dedicated receiver and it _is_ great. I'm pretty sensitive to audio qualities in ways my wife isn't, but it's made a world of difference to me just upgrading from an old 2.1 system I'd used for 15 years.
