New York is never going to be affordable though. The whole concept of "low rent" in New York is an inherently stupid goal. The reason rents are high in New York is primarily because it's tourist hotspot, but because people ar

Does Canada not have laws against defamation? In the UK and US you could make a website and write that someone is a child predator but you probably get charged with libel.

Cancelled is probably the wrong word. I think what the other commenter meant was that the moral reputation of individuals tends to decline with time since what is considered moral is relative to a given society and a given period of time. I

Amazon should just change their business model. Instead of requiring sellers sell their products for a competitive price on Amazon they should do the same thing Apple does and just charge sellers a large margin on sells on their platform. O

One of the primary reasons a company I worked for decided to use Vue was simply that the developers found it familiar. If you've been working with HTML and CSS already then Vue templates really just an extension to something you'r

Genuinely curious – if instead of AI these images were drawn by other children with photoshop would that be of equal concern? I feel ashamed to admit this, but I didn't like one of my teachers in highschool and as a joke one evening I

I don't need to define it. It would be open to reasonable interpretation. If an online platform creates an unclear or vague rule and use that rule to remove a user, then that user could pursue legal actions. If a court agrees that the

If by "rules" you mean vague references to "harm" then sure. My use of the word "explicit" here was intentional. As it stands the "rules" may as well just read "if we don't like what you&#x2

Or alternatively companies have to provide clear and explicit rules about what is permissible on their platform and if you feel you're wrongly censored or removed from the platform you should be able to take legal action. I'm fine

It's not Facebook's fault, they're just following the law. The issue, if anything, is that in Canada you don't have the legal right to freely express yourself online and Facebook is legally allowed to censor your content

Or looked at another way, it just weakness the parts of the system where there are disagreements. The most frustrating thing about the EU is that there are both great and awful things about it. Some things almost all EU nations agree on, su

Both Apple and Meta would love buy Unity, but my understanding is that regulators likely wouldn't allow it. If you haven't seen it already: https://sriramk.com/memos/zuck-unity.pdf

I suppose. There's quite a few companies in Unity's position right now for a reason though. For better or worse the "growth at all costs" strategy was the strategy companies like Unity had to employ for the last decade t

I kinda feel bad for Unity. The company is in a bad place finacially. They're burning almost $1 billion a year and they have no good solutions to this. Either they try to increase pricing and piss off their customers, or they cut costs

Yeah, this is my opinion too. I think as VR headsets become more common place over the next decade and that will likely create a market for 3D content. I doubt it it will be a significant market for some time, but I think VR technology is g
