Seems odd. To be consistent, they should jail opposition candidates and stuff ballot boxes and murder traitorous opposition to the one true leader. I propose a new model : The Thunderdome. Two go in, one comes out, until the leader is chosen.

While I accept the premise of the article, I find it misdirected. If we weren’t watching a national housing crisis, a cost of living crisis, the death of the middle class, the climate crisis, the demographic crisis, the healthcare crisis pile up on Canadians one after the other, no one would want change and would fight to preserve our way of life.

But we went down the yellow brick road of neoliberal plattitudes about free markets and privatization and made offshore tax evasion easy and risk free for wealthy Canadians and multinationals alike.

Even today, there are tremendous forces working hard with big money to privatise one of our most effective, efficient and formerly sacrosanct institutions. Healthcare. What good is not paying directly for a family doctor when you’ve never had one and can’t get one?

Public healthcare was fantastically productive and efficient, and the same voices that decry canada’s productivity crisis are happy to keep erroding public healthcare and march in the profiteers knowing full well it will be a disaster.

Happy people don’t revolt. You got unhappy people, it will be taken advantage of by your rivals and enemies.

Only if you fail to stop dictionairies from getting into the rooms.

Designing a contest where participants have access to AI, when they aren’t supposed to use it and then looking shocked when the inevitable happens.

Either allow a commonly accepted industry tool, or restrict participants for the duration of the testing.

I remember my grade 6 teacher telling me I won’t always have a calculator handy. **gestures broadly out the window.

Human beings are, for the most part, path-of-least-resistance creatures. This was inevitable. It’s like building long straight stroads with few intersections and a school with a lonely crosswalk then wondering why speeders keep hitting children.

Bad design gets bad outcomes.

How is this different than FTP?

It’s the IT standard of care for backup.

I mean, that’s what they do.

3-2-1

3 copies, including the original

2 types of media

The first is to be used. The second is to restore the 1st in the event it is damaged. The third are to restore the first and second in case the building burns down.

Facebook was always crap. It’s a propaganda tool masquerading as enterprise.

Maybe tax social media and subsidise journalism, or otherwise regulate them in some way.

That’s what they did.

Motherboard Industry: We have too many customers and we’re going to fix that shortly.

So the solution to AI encroachment is to self-sabotage all communication? A little too scorched earth for me. Reminds of a bad variation of Inception.

The dude: but I really liked that rug. It really held the room together.

Canadian retailers never needed an excuse to raise prices. They have and will always charge the max amount they think they can get away with.

No one ever leaves money on the table.

Yeah, this is at most a minor logistics rerouting. Doesn’t impact us.

Hypocrisy when dishing ad hominems yourself rather than tackling crime or crime guns with evidence based policy.

I’m sorry that people’s propety hurt your feelings.

sounds like a veiled threat.

No. I want you to go away, for precicely these irrational associations.

You cannot compare American gun juggling dipshit society, with Canadian licensing storage and usage regulations and a culture of general safety and collective cohesion.

Everything increases deaths in Canada. Cars, food, chemicals. Evidence based policy means you tailor the response to the problem. Legal firearms are a fart in a hurricane and doesn’t warrant the disproportionate bans and buybacks while ignoring the real problems of smuggling and crime, especially repeat criminals.
