But that is not true, most countries have what is called prosecutorial discretion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecutorial_discretion The police can, for the most part, decide whether or not to enforce laws. They c

It's a legal duty in the sense that the CEO of Intel has to act broadly in the best interest of the company, ie. he would be in trouble if he made decisions on purpose just to make the company lose money. But there is no duty to maximi

The issue with ICBC is that you are forced to do business with them no matter how you feel about their business practices or how much they are charging. ICBC can change their pricing completely from year to year and there is nothing you can

Canada does have a constitution, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Act,_1982 so I don't understand what you are talking about.

That's a study of people already visiting the hospital for a cat bite, which implies they were fairly serious wounds. Of course if you have a serious enough wound to go to the hospital over and possibly get plastic surgery to repair, y

My point is you can't write a long post about Canadian law, use the wrong terminology and expect to be taken seriously. It's not like its commonly referred to as the Ontario state or state of Quebec. It would be like if I was ta

Every credit card I have had shows the balance increasing every time you make a purchase with it, when you pay the bill, the balance decreases. None of my credit card accounts have ever shown a negative balance unless I over paid the bill.

Umm NSAIDs like Naproxen have their own list of issues which may be worse than Tylenol. Another issue is that Tylenol is often used because it does not interact with other NSAIDs so if you are not sure if someone has taken medication with a

That may be true, my perspective as a Canadian which is a fairly socialistic country compared to the US is a bit different. We have a massive problem with the brain drain as a lot of people who are college educated go to the US to earn high

There are lots of people who don't try to make more money because of roadblocks put in by the government. Obviously the uber-rich like Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates don't care that much about taxes but for someone in the low to mi

Why is taxing high earners more a good idea? It just gives people an incentive to either not make that much money or leave the country to make more money.

You still are not understanding, the tx and rx are simply what speed they are connected at, not any different than your ethernet connection reporting 100 mbps or 1000 mbps, it does not mean it is actually transmitting that much data.

by aceofspades19 8y ago
Is that a typo? While I don't doubt that Alexa sends some amount of data to the internet, I find it hard to believe that it uses 114 mbps per device, maybe you meant 14 mbps?

I agree, even if we assume what he did is illegal, its sort of like impounding someone's car and arresting them for dangerous driving because they went 1 mph over the speed limit. We don't do that even though it is technically ill

That's not a correct counter argument, the information he got was understood to be public and there was no reason to expect or think there was any private information on there. If the site had said "This site provides tax returns
