More importantly, we should stop giving Mastercard our data. Paying for everything with credit cards has been an obviously bad idea since thirty years ago at latest.

Canadians will not vote for or against the NDP based on their position in the Middle East, he said, but on affordability and health care.

It's true that the current problems in the middle east are probably not going to be top of mind for most of Canada by the time there's an election, but we do want a party that's capable of clearly and accurately stating a reasonable position on this and the hundreds of other issues it would need to deal with as a government, which is much more difficult than constantly emitting well-rehearsed platitudes about health care.

Having that thought reminds me of Bernie Sanders, who did it well in 2015. His campaign set out positions on all manner of things, and those of which I knew something about always seemed about right even if they were not the big priorities everyone was focused on. I remember wishing we had such politicians in Canada.

So it's no surprise to scroll down the page a little and see "Bernie Sanders says Israel is violating international law with blockade on 'open-air prison' in Gaza." People might want him to say something different or something more, but the honesty of what he did say does at least put to shame the recent NDP official statement which said that "all war crimes, by all parties to this conflict, must be prosecuted" without daring to mention specifically which crimes are being committed by whom.

Well I don't know what happened really, but at a guess maybe it had something to do with all the farmers who sold out to either the big "agribusiness" operators that have largely replaced them or to housing developers. Concentration of ownership has been a problem in many industries, but rarely have the effects been so dramatic as in farming. Since the heyday of the United Farmers of Canada there are 75% fewer farms in Canada, and 233% more Canadians. Living in a "rural" area no longer means you're all that likely to own a farm,

I've just noticed that this is in c/piracy. I suppose there's lots of interest in the story here and everywhere else, but I'd just like to remind you all that ad-blocking is not piracy.

It is if you redefine AGI to mean the thing that's already here, although to get away with that it helps if at the same time you overestimate what LLMs are capable of doing.

My CPM numbers are pretty out of date, perhaps their costs have gone up with inflation. On the other hand perhaps they've gone down with storage and bandwidth costs.

I have frequently found myself surrounded by Twitter and Instagram users, and they seem just as deluded as they do from here.

I think he was the only interesting character in the show. Now that's a hot take.

Yeah I'd pay up to $7 per 1000 videos, that does seem like a fair price. It'd cover about 3 years of my typical usage.

It is saying that VPN use was the only excuse given by the authorities when he was "ordered to pay" them a large amount of money. While I don't know for certain that it's true, I still haven't seen anything here or elsewhere to contradict that.

How is it misleading? Based on the info we have it seems accurate.
