stereographic

I don't think that implementing something that would raise the price for non-US citizens would do anything positive, mainly if I'm understanding you it will disproportionately affect low-income individuals in Canada

I think the idea is the trope that people who donate "thousands of dollars" to a random person on twitch are probably lonely.

I'm not into the streaming community much though, but that would be my assumption of what they meant

Ah yes, the "offshore" hive of villainy known as "The Netherlands" and worse yet "Greenland"... It's not even green!

I mean, I understand you might not have the need to upgrade, but why?

Could you not just disable wifi on any android phone? Turn it off and keep it off? I do this pretty regularly just to save battery life

The college I went to in Eastern Canada does this, I'm employed after a two year diploma based program, rather than a 4 year CS degree

In Nova Scotia, surprisingly our Canadian History classes did focus mainly on post-1945 Canada in the later years of our education (Highschool).

Pre-highschool Canadian history was extensively focused on pre-1945 events and pretty focused around Eastern/Acadian history

If you are who I think you are, you were always so helpful and actually got me interested in the game, thanks man o7.

Personally, it would be the benefit of not running 10+ express apps on a small server 24/7. I use a small server for personal projects and the traffic they get is minimal, but I also run a few small utilities off the same low-spec server 24/7. This is about the only benefit I see personally for me

Even some things are super easy to do alone. One of the things I really enjoyed doing was drifting through wormhole space in a stratios salvaging abandoned POS and drones while watching Netflix/listening to music. Super relaxing

I think I still have around 3B in faction drones and random loot from a couple of weeks of jumping around exploring. Super fun game, you just need to find your niche.

Even just a couple people flying around in Rifters can take on some decent sized ships if people know what they're doing.

I haven't played Eve in years but now I'm suddenly back to wanting to play.

It takes a lot of time to get familiar with how the game works, how combat works, and how you should fit your ships for your play style. Definitely can feel like a job and/or hopeless at first, but once that initial investment of time has been put in the game can definitely be played casually.

It's a lot of fun to just mess around with a few people in some cheap frigates (basic small ships), sometimes more so than the actual "expensive" areas of the game.

EVE is just the name of an area in the game where humans came through into this "new world". https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EVE_Gate

The game has a serious amount of lore behind it and it's been years since I played so I may be over generalising

This is pretty edge case for who it would be useful for in my opinion?

I have a small droplet on digital ocean I use to host a few small personal projects. $5/month is pretty reasonable and if I don't want to sign up for AWS, this is a fairly beneficial thing to know about.

For people who want to use serverless functionality for cost benefit, it's probably not as helpful.

How would you regulate Netflix then? The CRTC mandates that 55% of broadcasted content in Canada through traditional means is Canadian based content, with on demand streaming services I can't possibly see a healthy way to regulate this.

What about YouTube premium? They offer content more akin to traditional television, and it's very much American dominated. Is that "not really 'online'" either? Does it need the same manner of regulation that it seems they're looking to impose on Netflix?

No one is limiting what you can watch on CBC or any other Canadian content platform, why should I be locked into watching locally produced content I don't resonate with online?

Regulating media consumption online, a traditionally global marketplace, to your national content is just a terrible idea in every sense.

Not only that, but Netflix offers content from non-US based producers, it's enabling the sharing of creative content from all over the globe not just American produced content.

The CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) requires that 55% of content broadcasted yearly be of Canadian origin. This just seems like the starting stage of trying to regulate online content in the same manner.

"In the lab, the researchers showed that commercially available equipment could transmit sound to a person more than 2.5 meters away at 60 decibels using the laser sweeping technique"

Granted, the laser sweeping technique trades off fidelity for the volume, this is still just laboratory tests and is not a "final product" in any sense.

It's just one specific use case for this technology that came to mind for the researcher? Mass shootings are a pretty big deal, even if the odds of it happening to anyone is fairly low. Risk mitigation and death prevention seems like a pretty healthy choice for applying this technology, as opposed to saying something like "This could let someone beam targeted ads that only the target can hear!"

"We made this thing, I wonder what we could potentially do with it that would benefit people as much as possible?"

Private vs public has no implications here. Both house people who broke laws. You aren't being voice printed in your home by the American prison system be it public or private because you aren't in the American Prison system.

I'm not really following your logic here...
