No doubt. I definitely have faith that the company itself is smarter than the current euphoria so I guess I just hope it does nothing to tarnish them because they've made major strides and frankly I'd just like to see a Canadian t

I'm a little more ambivalent, myself. But I think I just don't like seeing it at all. If the entirety of the human were, functionally, a complex organism then the result of this sudden and energy-expensive outgrowth will likely be

As I understood it, BlackBerry is a different case from GameStop—albeit some redditors are trying to make it do the same thing because it's cheaper. I've been holding that one for years for a reason.

Because that's usually how it goes. It appears that every bit of skepticism has been thrown out the window. I think a lot of people are about to get burned who expected riches. And all because of empty promises by anonymous message boa

WealthSimple is still functioning fine here in Canada. They're probably just overloading their servers.

Wasn't it hedge funds that actually called the big banks on their bullshit in 2008? I mean, there were books and even a movie about it.

In this case, though, you have hordes of rabid sentiment mongers pooling their ideals to the end of even encouraging apparent minors to put all of their meagre savings into high-risk stocks. There's something as highly corrupt about th

Whoa. I just tried one of the oldest passwords I can remember, and I was able to log in as well. All of my contacts are there. I don't remember who 99% of them are, mind you. It's kind of surreal.

Wow. I remember that UI. A lot of geezers around here, but still some of us are fresh and young with our eight-digit numbers. I have no idea if mine still works. Any email that was ever tied to it is long gone. Edit: I had to check. “Cannot

Good question—and if you’re looking for a line in the sand you may have found one. I wouldn’t say they should insert themselves in the process and read the messages mid-com, but there’s nothing hiding this messaging on the back end. In fact

My partner was head of operations for a small chain of board game cafes(/bars) in Toronto (Snakes and Lattes*). We have a few kicking around, but I just can't get quite as into it. Once in a while, though. edit: Forgot they'r

This guy could operate a museum. Maybe "should" is better. I remember even ten years ago, "barcades" would have things like an N64 setup with Mario Kart be the most popular thing in there. These days retro-gaming/co

I'd argue the abstractions, at best, are getting in the way; at worst they're being intentionally manipulated to suit. Infrastructural requirements are cooperative requirements at their core—they're not detachable from the pe

It's how the CBC is structured. They receive funding from taxes and their own revenue streams: merchandizing, advertising, syndication, and so on. It works. That is, it works until it doesn't. The CBC is entirely "free"

Or a functional kitchen. It's one of the major factors for me in a dwelling. I used to have to make myself a loaf of soda bread as my only food for the week in my "kitchen" that was a stove and a sink in the corner of a room.

If you want to discuss my comment in other terms, I'd be happy to. However, I only aimed to be as clear as possible—using the correct words is part of that. A great deal of the vitriol that tends to bubble up in discussions about sensi

I'm afraid I don't understand. Not reporting on the matter would not have prevented the matter (in this case, you're speaking of the war in Iraq). The "MSM" did not fabricate intelligence and start a deadly war.
