You're making the mistake of thinking that the RCMP is a single, well-organized entity. They are not. It is entirely possible that the people who made the statement that the RCMP wasn't using Clearview had no idea that another dep

But we're not doing 24/7 surveillance, and it does not follow that using this system will lead to that. It is good to stay vigilant for these things, but we should not allow people to be harmed today because of a worry that it mi

This doesn't solve anything if the parts you replace are then thrown in the landfill. All you've done is spent a lot of resources and energy to turn around and throw stuff away anyways.

My partner is in to the things that the Neumann’s are in to. As strange as their beliefs are, they are pretty much harmless. It’s easy to take on this belief system because it doesn’t ask much of you and doesn’t take much.

How would this work for stories where there's no good or bad guys? Or stories where the protagonist is the "bad" guy (like The Joker)? Does apple get to read the story and then determine which characters best fit their compan

Dollar cost average is your best bet since things are uncertain right now and you, as a retail investor, don't have up-to-date information and can't act very quickly. Your best investments are things that people can't say &qu

Ok, but what did people actually think about it? These are just quotes from high-up business people, they're trained to never say anything negative.

Yeah that title is a complete lie, the article has absolutely nothing to do with iphones. It’s also a dumb article. People are taking pictures of their dead loved ones and posting it to Facebook. This is... news?

Then pick a project to contribute to that doesn’t use discord. But don’t try to change the world to suit your needs.

Who is this for? It requires the JDK and Node.js to be installed, telling me that this is targeted to developers. If I'm a developer, I'm OK to use a browser automation framework that requires a bit of code (at least one that has

I don't care about the implementation and I congratulate the developers on abstracting all of that complexity away from me. That's what good software does.

They should have a say, but right now they're being leveraged for political gains (like the flyover states!). None of these people voted for gas pump stickers, blue license plates, and education funding cuts. Yet they were leveraged to

Unionization takes public support, it's not something done in isolation (hence why there's all sorts of articles about Kickstarter's attempt and unionizing - they need support). Public support is a zero-sum game, therefore

Because some stress is more justified than others. If somebody was stressed out as a travel blogger, would you favour their unionization over a stressed out retail worker? That's essentially what I'm getting at, the stress at kick

Just to add to this comment; It's one thing for software developers in the government or a large "essential" corporation like a bank or telecom company to unionize. Those places get toxic because the work has to be done and

I agree with you in principle, but in this case, Valve hurt themselves by not releasing more games. If they released more sequels to Portal and Half Life, would Epic have released a Steam competitor? Right now, Steam has dwindled to a craig

Getting a job works if you live in an area that has those jobs available. The currency that you get from these scams might also convert really well to the local currency, making it higher paying than a real job.

Some claimants are so hilariously (or nefariously?) wrong too. My partner uploaded a video of her playing Greensleeves on violin. Though it only has about 10 views, it received a claim from some random company in the states. Greensleeves wa

You can edit a photograph to serve these purposes. You don't have to use a photo exactly as it is returned from the camera.

How is this better than photography? Surely it's easier to zoom in on a picture to see it's characteristics. This is concerning: "her gaze is on plants, dried specimens of dead plants, up close, and closer, under a microscope
