As a Canadian - south of the border terrifies me for what's coming next. Republicans have devolved into a NK style 'dear leader' group that is terrified of crossing Trump. 1930's Germany is here
... have you ever been to Europe? A failed state - keep drinking that Fox News koolaid.
They could at the very least not import 1M a people a year (many of whom come here to study at diploma mills that result in no real career skills and considerable debt) at a 38M population, and limit corporations and…
No chance this crushes the 'bubble'. Record immigration, developers have greatly reduced housing starts, and people will do anything to keep their mortgage as asset prices continue to rise. There's no political will at…
This does not even remotely jive with his comments over Twitter DM's with the Vox journalist[1]. This feels like a transparent attempt to mitigate his inevitable fraud trial and claim ignorance rather than wilful malice…
As with many western countries, there's a rising sentiment against immigration due to the lack of infrastructure provided to the existing citizenry. Housing in Canada is some of the least affordable in the world, our…
Except that contraception prevents conception from ever occurring? Your analogy is fundamentally flawed, and there's no point in arguing in good faith with people who equate contraception to murder.
Well said. Too much of the debate on here is around logical fallacies rather than the direct impact this will have on women - particularly those who are poor and unable to travel for safe abortions in other states.…
As a Canadian I humbly request Americans stay out of our politics, particularly when it comes to influencing them via monetary donations. Get your own house in order, don't encourage wannabe insurrectionists who had a…
I've run ads on FB before, but this is an incredibly simple article to share with my non-technically minded friends and family as to why these services collect too much data. We need more of these simple and concise…
NFT's generally don't make sense to me, but targeting a specific real-world market is a rare use case that seemingly makes sense. The patterns already exist in terms of Fantasy Sports, betting on sports, collectors…
I've managed to do the same as well - the pushback has been minimal at best. I'm more surprised at how many "X is on Signal!" messages I've received from completely non-technical friends.
I could get behind this if the current ones actually followed regulation. FB are so entrenched that they don't have to follow the rules as they've demonstrated with Cambridge Analytica among a myriad of other issues…
Agreed. One of the factors that makes HN superior to the likes of reddit is the lack of overt karma farming which reduces the quality of discourse.
As someone who works in the games space, I find this to be an interesting proposition. My primary concern revolves around similar 'net neutrality' aspects - more and more of the internet is becoming pay to play, this…
When that's your comparison, almost every city in the world is more affordable compared to the Bay Area. Europe, barring London, is typically much more affordable in my experience (extensive transit systems helps as…
Same here. As someone who lives in British Columbia, I always conflate the two.
I've been following this rather closely as a company who provides backend services (so we're classified as a 3rd party service)to studios in the industry, many of whom use Unity. I'm rather surprised by this about-face,…
Appreciate the in-depth reply. I've also practiced intermittent fasting and it was the best way to crush my snacking/candy habits, which can add up $$ incredibly quickly.
.. and now I need to re-watch the series again. Or at least the opener.
Can you elaborate on this? I'd be very curious to see how you're managing that, unless your cost of groceries prior includes bulk shopping at Whole Foods.
The part I find particularly sad is that the elite referenced in the article are very clearly self-aware that the issue is a Bastille day or some revolution against the 1% (realistically 0.01%) which is feeding their…
It's less politics, and more to do with empathy for the common man. Mental illness is at an all-time high, wages are low, poverty is incredibly visible, and based off of postings on Reddit, Facebook, etc. there's a…
With what money? Between student debt, stagnant wages, the 'gig' economy, and limited mobility - how is anyone supposed to save a reasonable sum to invest in even when taking into account the joys of compound interest?
I'm not surprised they went with GCP. We've built backend services for games on AWS, Azure, GCP, etc. and their network is the best suited for realtime games as it stands from our experience. Unfortunately not had any…
