I read this earlier this year: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/google-hit-with-pri... But I'm certain there were more similar suits in the USA. I don't think there's been one in Canada.

I hope they will apply the same standard to other social media companies. And while they're at it, they should take a look at the data that Google collects from kids using Chrome and Chromebooks.

"US special forces killed North Korean civilians in botched 2019 mission, NYT says" is the title of the article. Why is it different when submitted?

Yeah, I don't think Google is the "exclusive" on either Apple OSes or Firefox. Just the default.

Yeah, one of the tests for "Fair Dealing" exceptions to copyright in Canada is ... could you have produced you work without infringing copyright. If so, then it's not Fair Dealing.

Very cool, Krish! Hi from Fort McMurray! I'm going to use this project as an example for a Computer Science class.

Yeah, the video mentions both names. Whoever made the title didn't include Wozniak, but the video definitely does.

I'm Canadian. Before Trump, I made several trips a year to the USA. all my vacation money was spent there. Now I go to Europe every summer instead. Meanwhile, I recently received a survey from some industry association in the USA

You'll be happy to know that Imagination Library sent monthly books to my 3 Canadian kids as well! We loved every single one of them!

In Portugal, I tend to fill a big jug with tap water (which I know is safe, I watched them put in the treatment plant!), but then leave it in the fridge. After a bit of time, the chlorine just evaporates. So it's nice and cool.

Even easier if your employer automatically syncs with CRA. No filling in forms at all. In other countries, the government does the taxes for you, and sends you a pre-filled form that you can amend or change.

Doesn't iOS prompt you to give apps permission to connect to your local network? "App would like to find and connect to devices on your local network" or something along those lines. I always hit the "no thanks" b

You reply that the FAA is clear. Someone points out the article is about Ireland. You reply about the UK. You know the UK and Ireland aren't the same, right? Maybe read the article, as it discusses the ambiguity in Irish law about a

No, this is incorrect, and a quick google search would verify that. Where did you get that idea? Truth is a _defence_ against libel.

Social media is filled with people who are in disbelief when they get UPS or DHL invoices for tariffs. It's hard to watch people who really believed the "China will pay the tariffs" trope start to wake up to reality.

I'd love someone to explain HOAs to me. They seem very prevalent in the USA. And it's the opposite of "freedom."

Nope, I remember it in Office 97. Which was released in 1996, of course.

I still have two Drobo 5N2 NAS boxes going strong. One is the backup for the other. I really wish someone would take up the Drobo-like simplicity and run with it.

I understand that, but the people literally voted for someone who promised to get rid of checks and balances, and rule as a dictator. Isn't that what they wanted?

I don't understand. This is literally what people voted for, isn't it?

The answer is no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines And nobody in Canada is buying Tesla anymore, thanks to the threats of annexation.

Not really, there's zero percent up to a certain level, which historically has never been reached. Also, that trade deal was negotiated by Trump himself, who called it "the best trade deal in history."

Canada's market is 10% of the USA. Of course there's going to be an imbalance in trade. Trump doesn't understand this, and he thinks that it means that Canada (the government) is literally ripping off the USA. Just like he

Moving to Northern Canada has made me really really appreciate Spring. Going to work in the dark then going home in the dark is exhausting. I'm at 56ºN. I imagine it's worse for those who are even further North.
