And when they quietly solve a problem, we often expand their use until they start creating new problems. The automobile solved the problem of horses in cities (which were yes, a really terrible thing, between their excrement, their smell, the bodies of the ones driven to death, just horrible). But then we re-designed our whole metro-areas to put people at least 10km away from workplaces, groceries and services. The sprawl made the car necessary for parts of life that were never serviced by horses, and then you have terrible traffic and all the downsides that come with it. My point? The car did actually quietly solve a problem quite elegantly at first.

The CPC still has not shown any hints they are considering jettisoning the Reform Party wing, or giving up grievance politics and culture war bullshit for old-fashioned fiscal conservatism or even more mainstream social conservatism. I suspect they are just too tightly coupled to oil interests (i.e., corporate welfare queens) to put actual policies forward that could potentially bite the hand that feeds them.
There was exactly one regulation specifically targeting AI companies, a Biden executive order that Trump ended on his first day.
We've tried nothing but deregulation since Reagan/Thatcher, and it works every time!
There are a bunch of p2p VPN systems out there. First step would be finding the one that works best for you and your friends. Nowadays, I would stick with something that is Wireguard underneath, as the older projects were a lot slower.
Yeah, the whole "private banking" history thing the EFF seems to lionize in the article was 100% just for serving lucrative international robber barrons and other criminals. It was never about protecting regular citizens privacy.
This article really over-sells how powerful an ICJ's ruling is on the Canadian federal government. All the best to those pursuing this angle, but I'll wait and see if it bears any fruit.
The HN folk really seem to love hybrids in that thread. The trouble is, until super-capacitors are a thing in hybrids, their small batteries simply cannot take the same amount of current as an EV's full-sized battery can, so regen breaking is much more limited.
Actually, I feel a bit dirty about this. Literal decades of file sharing built huge archives that they have used to build their monsters, and also contributing to things like Wikipedia and open source software. Everything good and counterculture we did is now being monetized and used to boil the oceans.
Sssh. This might be the first time in the last 100 years copyright isn't EXPANDED for the benefit of publishers. I'll hold my breath until we see if they figure out a way to reduce copyright only for silicon valley corporations while expanding it for the rest of us. Or not...
My university (well, typically the professor) usually made sure there was at least one copy of the current course's text book in the library. Yes, that means there was exactly one copy available for us poor students to share. At least it was put on the "reference" list so no one could take it home - just study it in the library and then put it back on the shelf. I don't know if that's possible now that they are going to digital editions.
His predecessor made one tiny change to try to claw back a little from the wealthiest and it was so unpopular that both the Liberals and CPC campaigned to scrap it. More complicated tax reform? good luck.
