I think the hysteria comes from the inverse. Almost everything can be proven to be unsafe.

I would like to see the CBC dismantled. The CBC no longer fulfills its mandate of serving the general public. Your comment, "Top Bell Media executive urged CTV to avoid ‘negative spin’ on coverage of parent company" equally applie

> But the fanfare surrounding the phasing-out of coal and oil needs to be tempered with some realism… grid instability… investment in fossil fuel supply will rise by more than six percent… The article itself craps on solar.

Also, a lot of restrictions on development are coming from affordable housing groups, who don’t want any development unless it’s affordable, or (if condos) includes some affordable units.

Didn’t all the problems occur when COVID income supplements were canceled, and the private sector response to reduced demand was to raise prices to maintain profits?

Illegal guns kill people. Something like 80-90% of guns involved in homicide are illegally obtained/possessed. This is relevant because like banning guns, “banning” AI shouldn’t be the focus. It seems like an AI detection arms race is

Floor plate size. Offices are very deep and the elevators are far from the windows. Condo towers are small so that natural light can penetrate. You can’t just convert an office tower to condos. Also, office towers don’t have the plumbing to

This doesn’t seem unreasonable. Isn’t this already the case for politicians in the US? (Not related to deepfakes, just any public statement). Wouldn’t any legal matters defer to written contracts and TOS?

Yes, I’ve noticed that a lot of companies implement “OAuth” differently. I’ve found the only way to reliably implement it is to read each company’s docs and also test their API. Once you implement their flow and signing (or not signing) met

Sorry, I couldn’t tell which side of the argument you were on, so I was curious if there were good reasons to defend the proposed change.

? Are you just framing up a mobile app for funzies? Wouldn't it be a professional service, therefore an expense, therefore fully tax deductible?

Having not seen the contract, but having worked in construction, I think it's likely the contract did not specify clearances and/or turning radii, or maybe even dimensions. Clark was probably hoping the Port would cave and pay for

Didn't take much googling: https://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_id=897&slc_lang=en&sid=... I didn't see any specific research related to curling, but it is definitely a fairly high peak intensity activity

Wouldn’t withdrawing from your 401k and transferring it to a checking account limit the pool of funds available for equity investment and move it into lower risk assets?

Unless I misunderstand, all three lottery programs studied are voluntary. Kombi subscription lottery, Triss scratch and win, and Prize Linked Savings Account (PLSA) are all voluntary, and therefore not representative of the general populati

The article weirdly (or unsurprisingly) does not mention diet, but the underlying study does. Immigrants might also be throwing off the average. They tend to grow taller in North America (not just second generation), again, unsurprisingly b

Not a statistician, but just because the results of the test are predictable, I’m not sure the test is useful. Meaningful tests/models have predictive power. Is Meyers Briggs capable of predicting anything? (Repeatedly and reliably)

Did you not notice the explosion in bootcamps and online programs? Not to mention the huge expansion of existing CS programs. Tens of thousands joined the industry.
