That may be true, but fundamentally this is about autonomy. These Nations do not necessarily fall under the jurisdiction of the National or Provincial government since they never ceeded their territory.

It's a bit of a grey area for sure, but this isn't about "giving the people of the forest" stewardship of the land in order for them to protect it, it's recognizing that they didn't sign up to be governed under the nation/province.

The political system does not strive for affordability, it strives to make housing a good investment. Unaffordability is just the inevitable consequence.

Are you sure it’s just profits? People need money to support themselves. Companies hire people and have to pay them because they can’t work for free. This means companies need revenue.

Now, with traditional companies, customers paid for products and services. This revenue allowed companies to pay employees. With the companies you listened, they gave away their product “for free”. That meant they had to get revenue some other way. Usually, this either involved ads, spying (so ads could be better targeted), pay for advanced features (Evernote), or sell services to some third party (Yelp and Glassdoor are two examples of this).

The problem with all of these new business models is companies often struggle to get enough revenue to survive. What is no called ‘enshitification” is basically companies searchimng for a way to survive when their users will not directly pay for the service they are offering. Is this good for users? No, but then again the users refuse to pay for the service.

My main point here is greed is not the only thing driving this process. In many cases, it is incentives and organizations trying to survive. If we want products which delight us, we are probably going to have to pay for them. If we want the cheapest thing possible, we are going to have to accept that it will get progressively worse as companies try to survive or keep their earning growing.

Note that the above earnings growth is probably a short term phenomenon. My guess is that companies who push earnings over quality eventually destroy their product and get a bad product and lower earnings. This process can take years or decades.

Seriously .. this is non-sense, right ?

tldr : "profits = good, investments = bad"

Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" has a great way to show it things are done : you have to keep running to stay in the same position.
If you stop investing (= stop working), then you fade behind, become less competitive, eventually die.

So, back to the original post, what they actually do want to say is, perhaps : "once we invest our money in things, we use what's left as profit". Which is obvious and a useless things to do.

Or perhaps the post argues against "invest everything and never take 1€ of profit" ? Or "only do invest with the money you earned" ? What a mess.

Age verification for site visitors...
In terms of jurisdiction: Texas would have specific jurisdiction due to business activities in the state. (See also "minimum contacts" and "long arm judgement.")

As far as enforceability:

* There is extradition for criminal offenses. (In practice, usually only for felonies.)

* Texas can prohibit its residents/businesses from doing business with companies with judgments render against them.

* Texas can issue warrants and then arrest violators if they step into the state.

States very often restrict goods/services sold in their state. Like, you can't sell a gun to a buyer in California, without going through a 10-day waiting period, even if you do not live in California and comply with federal regulations.

Well, if implemented properly I think it's OK. Back in the Internet Explorer days, Microsoft used to block adult sites on device based on the RTA header adult sites added themselves. I think if adult sites were required to use the RTA header and device manufacturers/OS/browser makers forced to obey it; it's an OK compromise.

All the well known adult sites are already using it, it's just up to the browser makers to support it again... and besides, with on-device AI they don't even need to only rely on the RTA header if they want to make their implementation more advanced.

The answer is that no, there is no zoning in that area because that parcel of land is not subject to City of Vancouver zoning laws, being not part of the City of Vancouver. The adjacent properties are part of the City of Vancouver, and therefore are subject to zoning that the City of Vancouver chooses to impose upon them. That zoning could be removed if city hall so chooses, but Kitsilano NIMBYs would oppose it. But city hall cannot define zoning rules for land that is not within their jurisdiction, so the NIMBYs have no voice. Just like, say, UBC is also not subject to City of Vancouver municipal zoning rules. Nor is Nanaimo. Nor Haida Gwaii.

KALLAX used to be EXPEDIT. Both were made from honeycombed cardboard (mostly air, as you say) covered with very thin sheets of painted MDF. Maybe there was a time EXPEDIT was more solid, but I had one in the 1990s, and it was just like this.

You can drill the thin wood in IKEA furniture like this, but you have to reinforce it.

IKEA has always had a mix of wobbly instacrap and solid stuff. I remember they made a short-lived modular shelf called BRODER [1], which was solid steel and came in wall-mounted or freestanding configurations, the kind of solid thing you want in a garage or storage space. I was shocked at how high-end it was. It was discontinued to cost and low sales.

HSE suffers IT glitch leaving data of more than 1M people vulnerable to hackers
I saw somewhere that it was Porn that made the internet popular.

I wonder what kind of consequences would emerge from imposing a world wide ban on the online porn industry.

I see some comments here saying that people would still find a way. But would it be the majority? I don't think so.

The internet without it's common access points like google, youtube, social media, becomes extremely unusable and unpleasent for the majority of the population.

Banning search engines from showing porn would be a quick way to achieve this.

I don't believe Justin Trudeau ever admitted to _presiding_ over an _active_ genocide. He was referring to the deaths of those in residential schools. Those were effectively shut down in the 80's - when Mr. Trudeau was still a child.

I think it would be more accurate to say that he acknowledged that there were tremendous harms inflicted by both the government and the church both before and after confederation, and that those harms rise to the level of what he considers to be genocide. There still exist wrongs that are being done to First Nations today (by the Liberal government no less), but there's no way that Mr. Trudeau would categorize those as genocide, full stop.

Also a reminder that as of yet, none of the mass grave sites of the last few years have been excavated, and ground-penetrating radar is insufficient to make a claim of a mass grave site. There is copious evidence of barbarous acts taking place at residential schools, however the media furor over these specific reports were premature, and we simply don't have solid data for these sites.
I assume this would be more complex than that. Logging (storing personal data), ad revenue from viewers in TX, etc could easily make this a much larger task than the revenue is worth. Even if those were done, you’re then serving content to an entire state completely for free, which makes no business sense.
The school curriculum stuff baffles me. San Francisco has a community college system. SFUSD can offer a maximum course level and send everyone that exceeds it over to the community college, allowing them to concentrate their limited funding and teachers on classes that meet the needs of the majority of students.

> there's no way for PH to verify the age of users entering the site in the way the legislation demands

What exactly are those requirements, and how is there "no way" for Pornhub to satisfy what "the legislation demands"?

I ask because I'm tired of seeing (in general, not just PornHub) deceptive rephrasing of "we don't want to" as "it's impossible for us to." Companies too often take the attitude that they're entitled to their business model or being able to push externalities onto others, but that's obnoxious BS propaganda.

Edit: So according to the OP, the law "requires [PornHub] to verify the age of all visitors using a government-issued ID or 'public or private transactional data.'" I'm pretty sure they've already implemented that to verify the identify of performers (https://help.pornhub.com/hc/en-us/articles/19159382668435-Tr...), after much kicking and screaming, in the wake of that Nicholas Kristof article a few years ago. So a pretty straightforward implementation would be to require user accounts to view (at least for Texas), push users through PornHub's existing age verification flow, then give them access.
PH could implement that, they just don't want to.
IIUC they never have db transactions across shards, because customers are basically data silos, which makes sharding quite straightforward.
You should never be worried about it, just aware of it. In my experience, ageism is really only a serious issue in specific segments of the software industry. Outside of those, you'll be just fine.

One thing that's really cool is that CAPS gives passengers an option if the pilot is disabled. In addition, it can be great for when pilots enter a no-escape situation like a box canyon that is not wide enough to turn around in. Personally I think any GA pilot should have a CAPS or BRS parachute installed immediately. The best $10k you will ever spend.

You have been conditioned into thinking its degrading for women to show themselves on camera in return for money.

You find this degrading, but not everyone does. Work is work. Value is value. If you have goods or services to provide and can earn income from that, and it isn't hurting anyone, what is the problem? If I was an attractive woman I would have absolutely no problem with being on a site like OnlyFans. The only people who feel the way you do are ones who have been conditioned to believe this from antiquated religious beliefs.

What treaties? BC signed very few treaties, unlike other provinces. That's why those lawsuits are even considered. We can thank a bunch of long-dead British guys for that.

And let's not pretend that this has anything to do with the constitution or the rule of law. The actual "rules" in the source material are woefully under-specified and open to all kinds of interpretation, so the number one factor actually affecting these decisions is the social popculture that everyone in the country, including the justices, is subject to.

We simply have a bunch of unelected people effectively writing an important part of Canadian law for decades, because the elected people whose actual job it is to write such laws don't want to do it.
