As somebody from the first world who has had the experience of moderating Internet forums… free speech in the sense of “the government generally shouldn’t control people’s speech, with limited exceptions” is good and necessary. Free speech

The tax complaints don’t really hold water to me. A competitor could spin up a nonprofit if they wanted or pivot to nonprofit status. But they don’t, because the opportunity costs and limitations of being a nonprofit are nontrivial. There a

Agreed. The fact that macs don’t (and never have) supported SMART over USB is interesting, but the article doesn’t really live up to the title - no real explanation of “why”, and the M1 and USB-C bits are irrelevant.

I don’t see why not requiring Ontario-specific training is a problem or even that surprising. Most companies don’t expect prospective employees to have comprehensive knowledge of the architecture of products that company makes before starti

The conventional art world generally has more requirements in terms of reporting. Also, in the conventional art world people would be extremely suspicious if all of an artist’s works were bought up by anonymous individuals and nearly imme

To pass one must get a 70% separately on both the pedagogy and non-pedagogy section of the test. It doesn't matter what percentage of the questions are pedagogy, since it's marked independently of the math content and must be pass

I feel like the “teachers can’t pass a math test” thing was overblown. The issues were that A) the test had outcomes that heavily favored teachers who grew up in Ontario and spoke English. Part of this is that there were no prep materials a

Cloudflare has a legally binding contract with Mozilla to this effect. So you’ve traded up from a number of companies that have never promised to not sniff or tamper with your traffic (and often do, and don’t really have any positive brand

I don’t really understand this perspective. “Sure, I’m using vulnerable technology, but nobody has exploited me lately that I know of” isn’t a statement that would get positive reception in any other netsec discussion.

Even in that scenario you’re still vulnerable to DNS sniffing and injection. These aren’t theoretical concerns, they’re real-world actively explored vulnerabilities. And if you still don’t care, well, that’s why you can turn DoH off.

It has an graphical imager tool that presents options for configuration onto your SD card - I feel that it’s fair to call that an installer.

I don’t think Ford ever said that, and I don’t think that quote is a good argument for not listening to users. Cars existed pre-Henry-Ford. They were just expensive. Many people could have correctly identified the need for a more affordable

I don’t think there is good evidence for what you described on a theological basis (I also do not believe that what you described is a very common interpretation). The word translated as “murder” is “retzach”. Conveniently, the book of Numb

In Canada you can find cough & cold medications in both the Phenylephrine and Pseudoephedrine formulation, often under near-identical labels (IIRC one can buy "Tylenol Cough and Cold" with either active ingredient, for example

Sort of, but if you were charged money per application (so that it was more accessible to the wealthy). The pick was supposed to avoid this sort of pointless mass application and allow students to focus on the residencies that they really w

While the match isn’t completely terrible, it still has some pretty bad qualities. The most notable one is the “pay for applications” issue. The odds of getting into your top picks is constantly declining, and so the dominant strategy is to

I think it’s also that such a service would be wildly unprofitable. Almost nobody wants to advertise over ISIS beheadings. LiveLeak existed, but eventually shut down due to not being profitable.

Anecdotally, that’s about the number I’d expect to be going back full time among tech workers. Maybe even a bit low. Some people just don’t like working from home, or don’t have a home that’s easy to work out of, or are doing work that’s di

Yes, that is bad too. However, in some cases it is necessary to prevent people from freezing, so there is a balancing act. Note that fossil fuel dependency just became a much more common political discussion item in Europe.

I'm a bit confused as to how this even solves anything to do with piracy even if you take the RIAA's side. Youtube et al already have incredibly aggressive copyright filters. I can't actually think of a major media platform t

I can't speak to media piracy, but I previously did work with a large supplier of professional software. This is not stuff people often use for fun, and the software had free and easy-to-get student versions available. The software sti

Agreed. Maybe a slightly different manufacturing process that makes the fancy laser lancing impossible? Maybe they don’t have those machines anymore (IIRC there was only really one company making the equipment to do it)?
