That's just another distraction from the class war being waged on the un-wealthy. We all contribute to it in small ways while it is being pushed by those with the means. Collectively we love to control others Palantir wouldn't

Sorry, cannot resist all the AI companies are not "making" profit. Seriously though, it ignores that words of kindness need a entity that can actually feel expressing them. Automating words of kindness is shallow as the words mea

Im not going to do the support for my kids not using windows along with the schools using O365 and such. So found a refurb business laptop for them on the one without TPM2. Popped linux on the old one and it went from slow to fast for OS

2020 Apple MacBook pro has an i9-9880HK, more than enough, but lacks TPM2.0. The issue is this is just a waste of resources and money for a large number of people and the TPM2.0 requirement is silly.

Microsoft with the push to require TPM 2.0, that isn't really required, is responsible for huge amounts of new e-waste. Any green initiative they claim is out the door.

The idea that the people who don't go to the polls and cast ballots don't vote is not true. They have chosed to have what the others choose. That is a choice and they made it, just like those that cast a preference via ballot.

Since these companies have positioned themselves and infrastructure and are de facto utilities, we need to regulate them as such. If they are going to cancel an account there needs to be a transparent and open process that is fair, not aut

Easy for who? 99% of people are not going/able to setup firefox policies.

Yes and no, it depends. But that the standards/services don't exist is more an issue as it prevents doing it correctly and safely. Most websites that will/already need to verify someones age are not capable of doing so safe

This completely negates the nuance and social pressures and sounds like you just want to be edgy. The network affects are huge and others like teachers and clubs are pushing these services as a means of communication instead of using, othe

We really need the age verification standards to catch up. I think there was stuff in the works, but something like OAuth that doesn't require the two third parties to know about each other and the browser/client is in the middle

Why should one have to endure the intrusion? Why does every product need adverts as it seems to be the place society is going? They are that bad and their place is only potentially in the places that people are looking for said products. W

Nice of them to start the conversations with a probably lie, that it will be less expensive for consumes because they can now bundle HBO/Netflix. Except this has never been true for more than enough time that for people to forget and

My understanding that this is like that but both libstdc++/libc++ have been doing more since. Additionally, Google did a blog not to long ago where they talked to actual the performance impact on their large C++ codebase and it averag

I think that any of these algorithmic feeds, by any company, should be held as if the companies have vetted the content and it is theirs. And the culpability that goes with that.

The teachers in Ontario make more than that now, but the whole class size thing and closing neighbourhood schools/locking gates on schools outside hours is just bad for kids and neighbourhoods. Yet people elect those that underfund all

The members vote for that. 10:1 there are a lot of old members who didn't want to give up what they had and didn't think 2 steps ahead when they're the minority and lose their pension because they screwed over the younger wo

Unions are their members, so it's up to the group to make it better. But things like guides(actors/writers/...) are unions too

It doesn't feel unlikely they would be ordered by a government to share data too.

Canada cannot stop it, Ontario could/did but this whole debacle from February on has been such a distraction from real problems and a drain on real work.

Like any reference or other person, one needs to question whether those ideas fit into their mental models and verify things anyhow. One never could just trust that something is true without at least quick mental tests. AI is no different

I don't trust GM or any other automaker to even download my contacts. I don't want any online experience from them in my autos either. CarPlay/Android auto as a compromise as I already entrust my phone with PII works. Plus

Ontario Today on CBC talked to it and the facilities in Iceland found that they didn't do well and never left even when they could. They've never lived out of captivity. I think the Gov should take over care of them and take eno

There are no facilities currently in Canada to reintroduce them to the wild and the ones in Iceland have not done well.

by beached_whale 1y ago
The land the facility is on is worth around 750 million, they can afford to keep them comfortable for the rest of their lives. This is trying to extort gov money. The thing is, if the province takes over care, they can take the money from

No, with drug patents the price is the average of a basket of similar countries, including the US. There is bulk buying for some medications by governments, but it depends. Most people are using private drug insurance in Canada.
