From what I've seen in Toronto and after having spoken with a local councillor, the thing is that those NIMBY show up to all consultation meetings. Any new bike lane require a community consultation (which is a problem in itself!, but

The issue is that even for users with third party Authenticator, they force you many extra clicks to use your own. You can’t set your own 2FA as default even after using it a 100 times. They make you jump through hoops to avoid YouTube or g

I don’t have sms. I have proper TOTP 2FA. And still, google keeps asking me to get my 2fa code in gmail or YouTube on iOS. It’s 3 extra annoying clicks to get it to accept my own 2FA. It’s clearly on purpose to force me on their apps.

You might not be familiar but within Amazon warehouses, they will mix and match the same UPC from different vendors. When it ships, they have no idea if they ship the one from supplier X. If it’s the same barcode, it’s all the same. So a le

Not the best example as there's likely a dozen service someone could switch to. People choose Zoom mostly because they like it, not by lack of choice.

Of course, but nobody is preventing that information to be shared. When I looked for air purifier last year, there was tons of articles I saw on how to build your own. This isn't hidden, there's tons of good resources out there. I

Handle what? Of course someone can go to Stripe and get that info, but as OP just said, they won't be able to tie it to a specific VPN account as that link is now broken. They also mentioned it's about less data, not about zero da

They do this for transit projects in Toronto. They calculate the total infrastructure + operational cost of the project over 60 years then compare it with the estimated economical benefits of having this project. They still ended up approvi

The fact that people are leaving with their foot is a strong evidence in itself that the job is not good. Does Ford lose all their workers right now? No. But they are unionized and make more money. Of course different industry but since Ama

Even if you bought a few bitcoins $20, who’s to say you wouldn’t have sold at $40? Easy to think “what if I bought”, but really, would you have hold it until 50K? Quite unlikely! I don’t know any millionaires from crypto. I know people who

The round was 750m, la Caisse invested 150 millions. What's absolutely bunkers is that no major Quebec news sites are talking about this news this morning. La Presse, Journal de Montreal, TVA, nothing. (TVA is mentioning that the crypt

Yes. Competitoon with other banks and other lenders. The market is your protection. Just like one oil company could triple the gas price if they want. Doesn’t mean people will keep getting their gaz there however.

It's actually dependant on the carrier. In Canada most carriers will make you pay extra every month for visual voice mail, without that you don't get any kind of transcription. Some low cost carriers, like mine, don't even of

If you look at the last decade, gas consumption has been going up even if the share of electric vehicle has been going up. Why? Because people with ice vehicles have been buying suv and pickups in higher percentage and driving more. So the
