>and lead to an annulment of the electoral process

That would be the goal.

So any third party can spend a bunch of money without the knowledge of the candidate that they purport to support, purposefully not report it, and then that candidate can be disqualified?

If that's how the system works, it incentivizes abuse.

The same amount of alternatives as there has been in previous years. If this was such a big issue for Canadians, why didn't the Canadian government do anything in the past 16 years since the DoubleClick acquisition? What changed this year?

Well said.

Protectionism under the guise of regulation, similar to the EU.

Clearly NordStream was destroyed in a drunken escapade on a rented yacht.

A company that never went to space once?

Just setup oil-rig style landing terminals in the various oceans.

He's already landing Starships in oceans.

People today pay $15,000+ USD per seat now for 1st class, and it still takes them 18+ hours.

>I've never understood this, because the economics of hourly launches just don't make sense. There's not nearly enough demand, even assuming they drive prices down and induce demand.

There's no demand for travel that would take you to the other side of the earth in 1-2 hours?

Give them some smartphones with social media and it'll be forgotten in a generation.

You can argue that all government contracts are a different form of subsidy, but in common parlance people do not use the term subsidy when describing government contracts.

There's no "block user" requirement in the EU DSA.

Nobody will ever need more than 640k of RAM.

>The second is with all the OpenAI drama MS has started to distance themselves over a souring relationship (allegedly). If so, this could be a smart move away tactfully.

I agree, this was a tactical move designed to give them leverage over OpenAI.

If he expects cybersecurity to be a factor for determining the compensation of other Microsoft employees, at least he's leading by example, even if it's not a really meaningful amount for him one way or another.

They probably get way more reviews with the prompt, and positive ones, than without it, despite how some morally indignant outlier HN commenters would react.

We're pretty far from starving ourselves to death.

OpenAI's short definition of AGI is:

A highly autonomous system that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.

>It's crazy to me that anybody thinks that these models will end up with AGI. AGI is such a different concept from what is happening right now which is pure probabilistic sampling of words that anybody with a half a brain who doesn't drink the Kool-Aid can easily identify.

Totally agree. And it's not just uninformed lay people who think this. Even by OpenAI's own definition of AGI, we're nowhere close.

Ahh, okay, glad to see they've updated the process. Previously you had to call and find your way through a maze of disinterested people putting you on hold.

Cancelling The Economist was pretty terrible too.

>comparatively enormous infrastructure investment Any infrastructure that can remain on the ground and doesn't have to be on the rocket is worth whatever the investment cost.

There is a quasi-open podcasting index that many podcasting apps use.

It's here: https://podcastindex.org/

The original poster of the thread mentioned it.

>Unless you have a stake in the company, it is NOT your job to make sure the company is the most profitable it can be. Your job is to create great software. What's great software? The kind you'd be willing to put on your resume without feeling bad.

Having the interests of the bottom line of the business in mind does not equate to sacrificing yourself.

Do what's expected in the interests of the business, not in pursuit of some "great software" ideal.

>the government eventually sent cops in riot gear to dismantle the blockades by violence.

The Ottawa police did the exact same thing.

Here's one where the protesters blockaded rail lines for months causing layoffs and many millions in lost revenue.

Why didn't the government shut down these protestors bank accounts?

If lives are at stake, it would probably elicit different emotions altogether.

>Here we're talking about banning smartphones

The topic is about banning smartphones for students during school, not in general.

Even if social media was the best thing for your health since sliced bread, it's not appropriate for learning in a school setting.

We recently scrapped our old Bootstrap-like framework too, and also opted out of using any type of UI widget tooling.

Everything can be done so much more easily today with vanilla CSS and JS that it's hard to justify the overhead despite knowing there'll be a certain amount of customization work required to implement a good UI.

Still using a CSS preprocessor though, like you, but soon that will probably be gone too.

You're referencing a small fraction of cherry-picked American weapons Ukraine is receiving. Other nations are giving other weapons, many of which are current generation. Patriots are current generation, and are continuously updated with new missiles and software. If you consider any weapon system that was not initially designed a few years ago to be old, then almost every weapon system the US and Europe is currently fielding would be "old".

To name a few current generation systems given to Ukraine: IRIS-T AA missile systems, StormShadow / SCALP cruise missiles, AGM-88 HARM missiles, AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, NLAW anti-tank missiles, Martlet missiles, Starstreak AA missiles, Aster AA missiles, Krab artillery systems, CEASAR artillery systems, Excalibur guided artillery, ECV90 IFVs, and on and on the list goes.
