Come live in my building... we're usually operating at half-capacity. Presently we're down to 1/4 elevators for a 32-story residential building. It's a little on the frustrating side. Our elevators break down quarterly,

Speaking as someone in the publishing industry: this is interesting. I hope it to be enlightening— Where did this come from? And I don't see any obvious efforts at protecting the submission of data. The Google Form is wide open. Do you

Only speaking for Toronto here, but the Toronto Public Library very quickly amended their application process to allow you to get a card/membership online. (For any faults in this city, the TPL is amazing)

Well put. Though I think it should bear an asterisk: the stakes are higher for some people. Based on my experience, I think movies about musicians are often pretty stilted, but that kind of thing can be brushed off a little easier for me th

Prior to acquiring some tools for my most recent technological stretch, I had a cheap phone and a 10+ year old desktop I rarely used for several years around 2008-2010 give or take on either side. I was doing different things during that pe

Ha. That was also happening here. We never saw a drastic shortage, though. The store was empty or had limited supplies for a week or two then they brought in a large shipment and everybody cooled off.

Absolutely. Many places in rural Canada don't have great, if any, options for high speed internet and sometimes even reliable cellular. That's great if you want to escape the connected world, but for those of us who would like to

All scientific realism and other criticisms aside—I thought Gravity did a pretty good job with essentially what you described as the setting of the film. Mostly spent focusing on pretty cramped quarters in a capsule. They figured out some w

Personally speaking only, but I am a tech worker in the larger media sphere—mainly publishing with some titles over a century old. These matters strike very close to home. edit: I wanted to add that I have a lot of respect for most of the p

There's the rub. Nobody is being forced into an opinion. They're choosing to use the platform. It's not an official channel, it's an independent company. They can choose to publish or broadcast what they want, ultimately

I think what you're saying is fair, but I also think you're raising a different argument than the OP. This is probably more suited to a top-level comment. But in response to the subject of your comment: don't they already do

There are alternatives. For instance my smaller team has a very brief daily stand up now in a video call each morning. Our larger department has a Monday check-in and a Friday check-in wherein our boss's boss speaks to each one of us—c

I work in the larger media [Canada], and I am constantly engaged with the news. I like knowing what's going on in the world. I like being current with it. Especially local news. Just the same, it's no less than healthy to unplug..

I've figured it was always sort of true that television news was of generally worse quality than print. They've done good work at times, but it's still TV.

Side note: the DuckDuckGo Firefox extension kills a lot of those analytics and tracker requests. Contrary to some of the reviews, turning it off is as easy as flipping a switch. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox&

Can confirm. But I don't think that yet applies to remote workers for established companies with offices? I know contractors and self-run businesses qualify—but I'm not sure if the rest of us do just yet. There are many expenses y

That is one of the tactics used. Anger, even righteous, is an "argument lost" if the other person just "wants a rational discussion" even if they are flooding it with falsehoods, misrepresented information, logical falla
