Quarantine in Canada (at least in Ontario where I live) has been pretty mild, thank goodness. No crazy shit like I saw in the video from Spain when cop was chasing a lonely jogger on the beach. I don't see why someone couldn't jus

Speaking of absurd. I remember when I found out that Cantor set (uncountable) has measure 0, my mind was blown. No wonder Cantor ended up in an institution (as I heard).

This made me think, what if we post take home assignments on github. Along with company name and status - accepted/rejected. This is a testimony of your work as well as of hiring company - if code is good and you are still rejected, th

Instead of free market finding the proper risk-adjusted yield for a bond, we are swinging between over-regulated squeeze (shut down non-blue chips companies from access to capital) and free-for-all central bank buying bonanza (carpet-buying

If UBI is comparable with salary, many people will quit and live on handouts. If UBI is a fraction of salary, what is the point?

Oh, I was not complaining:) I do not have a nanny neither want one. I clean my own shit. I was just observing. Nanny's salary is based on supply/demand. Until government interferes with Covid payments. When payments stop, nannies

In Canada anyone who is out of job now unconditionally gets 500/week of Covid money. Pretty much same idea as UBI. The immediate effect that I observed was that all Filipino nannies quit. There is no incentive for them to work any more

If government just printed this money, then there would be inflation. But this money is taken away from high earners and given to low earners. System is still balanced, just less fair (some may argue).

Durov (Telegram) had a fallout with Russian government elite who raided his business and now lives in exile in UK (last time I checked). He has no direct links to KGB. Indirect - who knows.

In the context of the above discussion, "criminal" is the person who is using the gun for criminal activities, i.e. murder, extortion, etc. I can see the arguments that such criminals should not be in possession of a firearm. I ca

I am not a criminal. Nor a police officer. Why should I get rid of my gun?

The video you quoted clearly articulates the preference for getting out of the way of the attacker, keeping the distance and avoiding the direct confrontation. Unholstering the pistol does not imply an indiscriminate shooting. The video is

1. Just apply and you will find out if you are welcome or not. Do not assume. 2. Asians are not diverse enough? There are plenty on the photo.

To my untrained (Russian) ear it sounds like a mixture of Scandinavian, Italian, and Romanian. Fascinating!

You are probably right, but the original article is more of a "freestyle". It is entertaining and engaging. Conflating (deliberate or not) of cousins and ancestors is a small price to pay to keep the reader on the subject. [pardon

Does Gab silence liberal views? Bans, shadow-bans liberal accounts? Puts "fact checking" marks on their posts? If they do, then liberal politicians are more than welcome to take action.

If they actually pay their taxes, they all do. They don't.

Same here, 10 kg down very quickly. Now weight is fixed at 80kg no matter what I eat. The only difference is when I eat.

"I have zero calories before 5PM" Did you mean after 5PM? Other than weight loss, do you feel any differently (body, mind)? I have started IF last fall. Similar diet - low carb, higher protein. I also had considerable weight los

Both articles indicate that unionization has flopped. The broader question is - what is the purpose of unionization in the software industry? You want more money? You want ping pong tables at work?

Is there a union of software developers? Would you like to start an imperfect one? Anyone?

VW Jetta does 30MPG in the city, Jeep Wrangler does 22MPG, i.e. 36% more emission. In the winter conditions (e.g. Toronto where I live) Jeep wins hands down. I don't even have winter tires. If you drive kids, the higher and stronger ve
