I don't think it's totally unbelievable that they waited until after the election to release preliminary results. Waiting a week or two wouldn't hurt the timeline, and would significantly damage Trump's campaign. If I wo

You could also set a fish quota, and let people buy and sell their quota. Then the market sets the price, the government just has to decide how much fish is sustainable to take each year. Ontario has a similar system for emissions. Of cours

If you can have wiretapping you don't have E2E encryption. So I think this would be a ban on E2E encryption, not on encryption in general of course but I think that should be self evident.

What makes you think that this will reduce violent crime in any meaningful way? The guy who mugs you isn't going to go on Messenger and send out a quick "brb gonna mug someone" message. And they definitely won't if they

That's too bad, the Dirt series is my favourite, especially the more sim-style games like Dirt Rally

San Francisco's solution to everything seems to be to just keep raising taxes, and throwing money at things which don't work. At some point you have to realize that more money isn't always the solution, you actually have to f

It's pretty impossible to beat the $5 wrench attack (or in the case of the government, 5 years in prison) unless you have anonymity, which Bitcoin does a very bad job of.

Has there ever been any evidence that vote counting machines in the US have been hacked? I don't like electronic voting either, but I think it's pretty extreme to delegitimize every election over something we haven't actually

Or maybe cost just doesn't really matter to many companies. If using AWS helps you scale easier, and lets developers spend less time managing servers, that can be extremely valuable, especially at a company that is growing quickly. Who

The worst part isn't even listed in the article - Tesla is remotely disabling fast charging on all salvage cars across all networks, regardless of what the actual damage is. If it was just limited to the supercharger network I would so

I've lived in several major US cities and have never felt unsafe in any way. Feels pretty similar to Canada, main difference is that the news is more toxic, and the west coast has more visible tents than what I'm used to.

I really like the comment on the article that suggested making each icon focus on a single color. The icons look so much better, you can actually tell them apart without taking a few seconds to figure out which blob of color you are looking

Oh I assumed that was intentional, to make you sign up for an account or something. I get it almost every time, opening in incogneto helps.

Whenever I read a sentence with a period in my head, I read it in a very flat tone, since the period explicitly excludes any exclamation point, question mark, emoji, etc. So that makes it sound weird when someone uses a period in casual con

Sounds like a bad idea to me, at least for most people. The reality is that if you want to be able to get a good job in an area you are interested in, you will need to be able to work with others, and get up on time, and work at a task you

Do people actually drop their phones much while using it? I feel like most of the time you drop it by knocking if off of a table, or dropping it while pulling it out of your pocket, where a wrist strap wouldn't help. And I think Apple

I'm sure there are lots of sociopaths with smart friends, they are just better at acting normal. Of course sociopaths all seem creepy, because they are the only ones you notice. If you look at someone like Ted Bundy, he had lots of fai

I always find these things over hyped. Like yes, you can trick an autonomous car into stopping or crashing. But you can also trick a human into stopping or crashing by running into traffic with a construction hat and stop sign, or dropping

We need labour organization to protest being paid only slightly less insane salaries? Honestly people are acting as if they are making minimum wage or something, everyone at these big companies makes over 100k, and most of them probably mak

That's great until someone wants to go hunting, or a farmer needs to kill a coyote.

I think that's pretty common, San Francisco has the same types of rules (3 inches is the max if I remember correctly).

Mountain biking is super popular now in Ontario. The local trails are way busier, and bike shops are low on parts and bikes. Everything in the midrange (3k or so) is pretty well sold out.

Does this actually matter? If you are doing online advertising, you should be able to attribute a particular visit to a specific ad campaign, so you can calculate your conversion rate. If Reddit has lots of bots, it just means your conversi

Personally, I don't want unions because my job is awesome as it is - absurd salary, great benefits, interesting problems, etc. I don't really see what a union could give me, I don't need more money and I work reasonable hours

The delay is annoying but probably not unheard of in construction. This is the real problem imo: Tesla was trying out a new product for the underlay and it didn’t conduct proper testing first as Stacey would later find out. How do they no

How is that relevant to this blog post? Do you think we should stop reading any posts hosted by triplebyte for a mistake they made months ago and didn't even roll out?

I think there problem is that it's just boring to watch because they are so fast - it is extremely hard to pass without hacks like DRS, which makes F1 races really boring to watch. And I'm sure most fans would much rather switch b

Then the government should compensate those who are staying at home because they are at risk. If the choice is between locking everyone down and compensating everyone, and just compensating those who are at risk the second option is obvious

If they can't afford to self-isolate on their own, they also can't afford to self-isolate under government orders. Locking everyone else down doesn't help those who are at risk afford isolation, it actually makes it much more
