Azure Artifact Signing and Apple's Developer program come out to similar costs. Apple's is probably still cheaper in that you can sign any number of things with it. But yes, it would be nice to have some free signing options for o

Yeah, this feels like an exploit used by many governments these days. You see the same thing in the US where the Republicans just keep filing appeals or lawsuits until they eventually get what they want. Over and over and over and over. Gov

These sorts of laws have repeatedly failed to pass in Europe due to people protesting. The government just keeps coming back and trying again it seems. What makes you think French citizens don’t care?

That depends entirely on where you are. In Ontario electricity is mostly hydro, nuclear, and renewables. But also, compared to burning gas directly, EVs are still more efficient and require less gas if you burn the gas to charge the EV.

Of course, though I still think remembering that people need to feel useful is important. E.g. you don't want to force someone into a job that may be useful but the person is feeling "why am I doing this, it's not needed.&quo

Thank goodness Canada doesn't use its past mistakes as a bar that it's ok to go back to.

That's not true. There were always different roles for older people. They didn't just keep doing the same job their whole lives.

Do you have anything more interesting to say on the topic than "No U wrong"? The OP had a lot of thoughtful comments about the issues with having things to do after retiring.

You hit the nail squarely on the head. In days past when people retired they'd still help raise kids or look after households. When we moved past requiring that sort of thing, we left the elderly without engagement. I'm not sure w

Interestingly, this recent study using ChatGPT Health gave quite a different outcome ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-026-04297-7 ). Here it was wrong about emergency triage 50% of the time.

> The reason the US can afford the strong social programs is because of its heavy commitment to capitalism. The US does not have strong social programs. It's an example of the opposite. Look at Canada and Europe for examples of stro

It's also perfectly reasonable to say it's ok for a program or machine to do the same thing as a human. This has been the basis for the technological revolution since the dawn of technology.

I still find the idea that "learning" from code is "stealing" kind of ridiculous.

The US is sure becoming an unfree scary place just like Russia. Keep it up following those role models!

That's ridiculous. The countries with the highest quality of living all have strong social programs. If you want an analogy for alcoholism look at the US. Capitalism works here, so let's use it everywhere!

Oh so only 1/2 to 3/4 of them were terminated far outside of norms. I guess only 50%-75% corrupt anti-science activity is totally ok.

No, I don’t generally use betas. In fact the Liquid Glass release was the first time I DID sign up for betas, but only after the actual release because I wanted to get the fixes faster. While they’ve improved some of the contrast issues, al

I see young people advocating for socialism a lot in Canada, but rarely communism as in communist Russia and communist China. As others have said, old style communism isn't even around anymore. Russia is a fake democracy and China is a

Actually it's extremely well documented in science studies that money absolutely makes you happy up to a certain point. Basically if you don't have a home and food due to not enough funds, then yes money absolutely equals happines

No, it's objectively bad in terms of usability. There is also the matter of taste, but I'm not even talking about that. I'm talking about UX, not style. UX is about functionality and usability. Contrast is an objective me

The UX used to be better by a country mile. The liquid glass update was a genuinely serious regression. Is Windows or Android now better? At least those operating systems don't have constant contrast issues and flickering. At this po

The only dirty secret is that humans are happy to kill future generations as the effects of the oil economy will only minimally affect the people alive today.

The difference, of course, is that they can inspect the source, and should the US try to use it as leverage they can just fork and continue on.

There is no ANC that can block those, both because of volume and also because ANC only blocks constant noises like hums. It's terrible and sudden noises like alarms and honking.
