Well, look who's looking like an idiot for setting up my entire house with Hue lights recently after running two bulbs with local control for years... sigh it's getting mighty frustrating having to deal with companies hoarding your data.

Why you should adopt all pets. I've seen some pretty bad situations with cats and birds before too. Just don't understand how people can subject an animal to suffering like that, especially when their livelihood depends on those animals looking healthy and fit.

Agreed. I want someone to step up and build a photography-centric phone like the Nokia Lumia 1020 again. I know lots of flagships can take good pictures nowadays, but that's something different from building an actual camera first phone.

Good to see justice prevailed and the sentences are high. Terrorism should never pay.

It's a older meme, but man does it hold up to reality. Cats really do seem to come in two flavours: Aloof and house clown.

And yet, we have conservative premiers in most of the provinces and PP is polling ahead of the Liberals by significant margin. I don't understand how people can look at their open hostility to the Canadian way of life and say "yeah, that sounds like traditional Canadian values".

It's pandering to the extremist parts of the conservative base, plain and simple.

Alternative title: Unity about to get sued into settlement or bankruptcy due to legal fees by Nintendo, Sony, and a bunch of others over unilaterally announced installation fee.

Sure, he was probably trying to get home. But by doing it in a stolen car, causing a police chase, causing a crash, assaulting a police officer, attempting to flee on foot, and then trying to get into a police vehicle, he didn't really help himself not come across as a danger to the public.

Not saying you should be shot and killed for that, but I can definitely see how in the heat of the moment (with the police definitely on edge as a result of the whole situation), the risk of an officer making an error in judgement goes up significantly.

Yeah, the real criminals here are the transportation company here if you ask me. Their actions amount to negligence at best and reckless endangerment at worst if you ask me.

The fact that they are getting away with a fine while the driver gets both jail time and deportation is a miscarriage of justice if you ask me.

Furthermore, it's clear he's remorseful for what happened and does not pose a further risk to society. At the very least we should extend him the courtesy of a second chance.

That was the most infuriating thing about this whole post to me. Elon's braindead take is on brand and expected at this point, but that chart (or worse, the reaserch behind it) is the true crime here.

But at some point the upper class depends on more than just cheap labor. You need educated people to innovate, you need a well-paid middle class to support a consumption economy. If everyone is uneducated and destitute the whole house of cards upon which the upper class is able to exist will collapse.

I just don't understand how the concept of "a rising tide lifts all boats" is so lost on some policy makers.
