Quebec is not like the US in that regard, you won't find a town here that only has a Walmart/Costco. Those are limited to more developed urban centers that have plenty of alternatives.

Yes, that's what I wrote. Health infrastructure does not exist in a vacuum and between non-vaccinated having to shop at a regular grocery store and people literally dying because we don't have beds in hospital I'll take the l

Not sure if you're from Quebec so this wouldn't be news to you, but our healthcare is BAD. Like comically bad. Nurses are routinely forced to do doubles because they don't have enough staff, hell we don't even have enoug

I think it's because the case hinged on the outcome, not on the practice itself. The suit alleged that Intel had "killed" AMD with this practice and brought them to the brink of bankruptcy. The issue is, Intel is getting thei

That might have been true in 2010, but it certainly isn't anymore. I need a QR code on my phone to prove that I am vaccinated. My banking, insurance and bills all are on my phone because no company will send paper anymore. It's al

Exactly, work is basically trading your time for money, if someone is paying more for your time you switch and that's it. The idea that your current employer is somehow entitled to your loyalty is already a ridiculous concept, but havi

If inflation makes the USD worthless, there will be significant social instability and most likely chaos at the GLOBAL level. This is why we can all be part of the cult of USD. If Bitcoin falls to 0$ tomorrow, the vast majority of people wo

Bentham or Mills did actually introduce a concept of "quality" to pleasure. Where an intellectual pleasure was considered more desirable than basic "animalistic" ones.

I know next to nothing on black holes/star formation and astronomy in general, but isn't this a big deal? I thought a pretty big defining factor of black holes was that nothing (not even light!) ever escaped it?
