I believe the 70% stat is from the census, and it would % of households. So it is possible that it reflects a higher % of kids not leaving the nest and renting something, but I also don't think its fully compatible with the narrative t

You need to provide evidence for this assertion. I've never seen any kind of analysis of this problem produce a clear signal that supports the idea that foreign ownership is a primary factor.

But since it’s not a generation facility and has a 70% efficiency, that implies it stored and returned 2506 GWh of electricity. At peak retail prices where I am in California (absurdly expensive) that’s worth over 1.5 billion dollars. Obvio

If you apply to Egypt or Jordan and “Jewish”, it also serves as an interesting exercise and helps highlight the reason Israelis (many of which were expelled from those places) may feel the need to preserve a Jewish state. Two wrongs don’t m

Can you be specific? I’m reasonably sure this isn’t true. The only difference in how non-Jewish Israeli citizens are treated that I’m aware of is that non-Jewish citizens are exempt from conscription. I’m always open to learning more, how

As noted in your link, that wasn’t a divestment. The Warsaw office already existed at that point (and was bigger than Krakow, I believe) and that is essentially where the positions from Krakow were moved to. In this context, the news is an

Wasn't this [1] such an event in practice? It's not government action, but it's certainly co-ordinated and one step up from a "grassroots" campaign. (I personally don't have much of an opinion on the event, I&#

Programs should disable terminal color codes when the output is not a terminal. Arguably, this is already an established best practice.

I don’t think “best” means anything objective, and “systems” is also pretty ambiguous (it describes a class, but that can be interpreted extremely broadly). Rust is still fresh, and people like new things. I think it has legs, but practical

Smartcar.com is super cool, but I don't think it meets the requirements -- which is a standardized, open data-sharing platform. Do such open standards exist?

I said around the time of Shakespeare, not exclusively Shakespeare (which is essentially poetry). Perhaps “King James Bible” would be a better example. I don’t think it’s that ludicrous, since English hasn’t really changed that much notwith

It’s not even true. They teach Parisian French (or Standard French) in Canada at schools outside Quebec. I did immersion for 12 years. I think its simply a practical choice: French from France has more standards (set by the Academie Francai

I’m aware of these facts. Although the charter is a federal document, my disappointment does indeed lie in mostly provincial judges and legislatures. This recent article [1] provides a few good examples. In terms of the targeting of the pro

Aren’t MPs still coming and going each day in the midst of it? That’s hard to square with a “no-go zone”.

Honestly, I’m not sure what point you are arguing here, let alone what you think I am arguing. I’m certainly not opposed to mandates solely because they’re enforced at the barrel of the gun (because yes, obviously that is every law in exist

The police (who carry guns) have shut down events for mandate violations in Canada, and arrested people. (There was a particularly stubborn anti-vax pastor in Alberta IIRC.) For private disputes, it’s also not uncommon to have an armed offi

Two wrongs don’t make a right. I’m not in favor of the Quebec language laws or more recent laws regarding religious symbols. However, I’m not sure how whataboutism helps.

No they aren’t. You must go to the government via the legal system, since they are the only one authorized to use force.

I read a couple of the decisions from challenges to the rules that I thought were overreaching (for example: the hotel quarantine requirement even for vaccinated Canadians), and the bar held by the judges seemed incredibly low — merely that

As usual, the devil is in the details. I would agree that the bridge is critical, and that forceful removal was justified. I’m less convinced that Wellington St. is critical, and I would be concerned that only the broadest brushes will be u

Had the parent post said merely “unpopular”, I’d probably agree. However “super unpopular” to me feels aligned with the government message that this is a tiny fringe minority, which quite frankly, is dishonest. Re: getting things done, so f

The polls I've seen had ~half of Canadians sympathetic to the protests [1], and about 20% strongly supporting. It's completely true that it could be one highly motivated individual, but that has nothing to do with your first asser

Disclaimer: I work at Google, but this is just my opinion. There’s another reason I can think of: Google has a great security culture, but like every company, it’s made up of people who may come and go. It takes constant investment to maint

By this logic, banned substances must be banned solely because they present even more of a risk to government (since this is the only reason considered for KYC). Therefore,… meth has even more value?

There are advantages and disadvantages to bundling applications with the core OS; having these security bugs become part of the OS release vehicle (along with the heavyweight process that implies) seems like a disadvantage. With respect to

LOL, I was precisely wrong. Is there actually a preference for user-mode networking? I assume that’s primarily about control and flexibility? Either way, I hope that the PacketBuffer changes can help reduce footprint after issues are shak
