The extreme left, marginalized ? Come on, they were able to push near resignation on of their own (ie. a hardcode Sanders support) at Evergreen College and in Canada, they were able to pass what essentially boils down to "compelled spe

I have no idea what you are talking about. The alt-right folks are at-foremost constitutional conservative. They can not be advocating for abolition of the constitution. This is a trait of the left who has no other wish than to eliminate Go

I skipped the conclusion, though, I'd still be interested about the channel that could be used to report such issues.

So what now ? Should/does the author wait getting some traction on Hacker News and hopefully be noticed by dev at Microsoft, or is there some way to provide Microsoft directly these data, skipping Tier-1 support ? The author seem to be

not really, I was kinda expecting the post would also contain interactions with Microsoft, leading to the resolution of the bug in update XX. The post kinda left me unsatisfied.

Because they virtue themselves as doing unbiased data-based science, when they're just pushing their agenda. At least, the alt-right folks (Milo, Shapiro) are very clear and honest about their bias.

OOTH, it's not as if one of the Berkeley author, Michael Reich, was a long time socialist. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Reich : In 1968, while in graduate school, Reich was a founding member of the Un

Yes, it's farm land. But still, the closest "rural" areas beside Delta is about 1h travel from downtown.

True, but that's still better than -30degC and 2m of snow during winter; and +40degC (without humidex) during summer. So for Canada, yeah, that's pretty good.

which doesn't mean that the building was worthless, at best, it mean that the new building is expected to be worth more than the old one. With the current easy access to credit, why not ?

Also, there is space constraint. Eg, Vancouver: everything which can be built has been built. South, it is blocked by the US border, north by the mountains and native lands, west by the ocean. The only option really is east, though, it dire

HVAC and refrigeration are critical. The first to heat your home when it's -30degC outside, and the second to preserve food.

Not so much here in Canada, especially for one-time use automotive tools. From the local NAPA store, rentals are too much of a hassle.

this is why you lend your fixer-upper tools (say, the first chainsaw / drill you bought), and keep the good stuff for yourself.

Of course, most of Canadian population lives in cities. Also, people who have the means to buy a Tesla have also the mean to have a second ICE car, thus making this a non-problem. However, commuters who have to live outside of the cities w

You under-estimate the power of public unions. There will never be any driverless public bus, even if it mean that the "driver" has nothing to do.

This argument is a no-go here in Canada, where distance between reasonably large cities can easily range in the few hundreds kilometers.
