I've started some work on a similar project as well on Windows. We should be able to fully query our lives, and we should also be guaranteed that data is ours. I believe this is where data collection should go - your data is yours, and

This is going to become the norm for a while - many of these massive tech companies have a lot of dead weight, and these current conditions allow for the shedding of such weight. It will be painful, and not great for many - but at the end o

This 100% - especially a social media company that is shedding revenue left and right. What do you do when you are losing revenue? Find new revenue streams. What do you sell to get additional revenue? More personal data. When a giant corpor

Such types of analytics tools are useful for certain purposes, however I do think we need some sort of regulation, or monitoring to decide where the line is, and how far any company should be able to go with this type of thing. It's a

In Canada, Ontario was forecasting a $30 billion dollar deficit for the current fiscal year. When the final numbers were in, they reported a $2 billion dollar surplus - even with higher expenses. The nominal revenue growth was 11.9% - infla

After being off Facebook for a few years, I have started to clearly see how creepy people really are - it's like everyone has turned into low level stalkers, but somehow that is okay within the cult.

Good point, so you buy 4 panels for $400 USD. Next what do you need: wiring, mounting, inverter, storage - I'd like to set up a fridge at the camp, any idea the price on everything I would need?

As much as we like to blame government, and politicians - at the end of the day, ll... We are the government. We are the politicians. We are the inept, lazy society who has let it come to this. We are the ones fighting amongst ourselves, u

I actually like that corporations want to be considered people - that means they are not above the law, no matter the size, therefore if they cause harm to people(s), and it is intentional/illegal it is entirely within the right of gov

Corporations need to focus on being efficient, and doing what they do best within the rules. Government should concern itself with doing its best to continue a healthy, happy nation. Regulation does not always need to be complex, and it sho

I'd like to know how these sanctions are working for us. So, we've sanctioned Russian oil/exports, so now Russia sells its in-demand resources to Asia. The price of said resources have rallied, creating balance of accounts &g

Yes, people think Tesla is more valuable than the other car markets combined. I honestly don't see the ICE manufacturers really having an edge when it comes to the future of transportation. If anything, I see them having a huge liabili

So, lets fund the planting of 20+ trees per second to help counter-balance it. Someone can plant around 200 trees per day with basic tools (lower end - some can do upward of 1000) but lets go with the lower number. 24 hours per day X 60 min

This type of thing is currently useful for rapid prototyping, or building a quick framework. At the end of the day though, the experienced coders need to fix bugs, modify the features, enhance the efficiencies, and review if the program is

I agree 100% - on top of all that, the current housing strategy reduces the mobility of the workforce, so it becomes more difficult to move skilled workers from one region to another. On top of that, being generally considered as a persons

Very true, I think that since Industry/Free-market enterprises don't tend to specialize into certain domains, from a profiteering stand-point, the efficiencies do not take into account other external factors, unless they impact th

Good question. I wonder if this type of societal situation has lead to wars of conquest in the past. Is there research or studies on events like this? It seems like something that may be difficult to study historically, but who knows.

I have a Chromebook with a m3-8100y, and it is pretty good for general surfing and video. Not the fastest chip, but does the trick. I find it a big slower in RDP, but otherwise no complaints.

I for one am all for building green energy infrastructure at scale. However, at this point, I believe the push for green energy at the expense of nuclear, and even hydro projects at this point, has retarded the reduction of green house gase

this seems like a regulatory overstep - something a technically inclined government would intervene in. Too bad ours is far from that.

Also keep in mind the limited supply/uses of Gallium at the moment, it tends to be a biproduct from other mining activities. If suddenly there were a large and scaled demand for this material, then I am quite sure we would see a huge s

Its a very big question - we almost need some sort of level of detail about the commenter, to understand their expertise, backgrounds, experiences, abilities, etc - but once again, how would you quantify it? For all topics, not everyone&#x2
