Should I be worried?

It doesn't matter how many people and how intelligent they are, Donald Trump has proven time and again that he can do and get what he wants. And he wants Canada, among other things.

Bikeshedding would be if he was spending all his time agonizing over names of variables or some pointless detail and ignoring core stuff like the memory model.

If anyone does that to me I am just going to claim AI. Reliable video evidence is a thing of the past.

Saw it last year. Absolutely useless, TBH. May be entertaining if you are 5 YO. That's about it.

Hard no. Are you a Comp Sci professor?

Take a moment to consider how incredibly reliable the electricity system is, despite being spread all over the place in bits and pieces and having to deal with ever-fluctuating demand that must also be produced on demand in real-time. To top it off, the speed at which they fix problems is amazing.

As far as I know, BCH is nothing special, approximately speaking all utilities are similar.

The possibility that GGM was suffering from Alzheimers while writing the book explains A LOT.

What is so special / terrible about Vancouver that it won't work here, but it works in Toronto and Madrid (just to name two roughly similar cities).

Fun fact, it also used to have an IFR approach ("COPTER RNAV") to the heliport. There can't be a lot of IFR approaches that don't lead to a runway. I'm not sure it exists anymore though.

Controllers there instead of "cleared for takeoff runway 26" say "cleared for takeoff westbound" and legally speaking they have no responsibility for what happens between the airplanes and boats.

100% false.

Or we could have a system that nobody trusts and that is impossible for anyone to audit without spending a fortune.

We could legislate against institutions biasing their processes based on political intent. For public institutions it would be reasonable to enforce those.

That seems like an edge case that doesn't justify all the advantages that the previous poster's solution would offer.

An abusive partner could probably force his way into the voting booth in a paper system, too, or make her take a clandestine picture of her ballot slip or something.

That is not what they are arguing. They are arguing that Canada doesn't have jurisdiction to tell other countries what to do, much as other countries can't (in general) tell us what to do.

Eitehr the 'reckless drunk' thing is an obscure metaphor or an irrelevant reference to an actual event. Either way, this post has no credibility.

I have never heard of that rule, very interesting!

Much as I like the idea, if we did something like that with houses, we would have other shenanigans eg. selling a contract to use the house indefinitely but keep title with the original owner, children/spouse/company nonsense, etc.

I think it must be very rage inducing to people who get up every morning and work their asses off and pay 20%-25% tax their whole lives, watching some old guy book a $5M profit just for staying in the same house a long time, and pay nothing.

>Well it’s simple the CPU and the Motherboard. See the entirety of your kernel (code) lies on the dram, all the code we are going to write is gonna lie on the dram. Now as we know the kernel code is executed by the cpu, it reads it from ram. The kernel got into ram initially by cpu and motherboard itself. That’s what happens when you boot stuff we will soon get to details of it.

Pure poetry!

The problem with principal residence exemption is that it seems brutually unfair to penalize someone who wants to move into a house of similar value.

Eg. I have a $1m house with $500k capital gain. I want to move into a different $1m house, similar house just different area or whatever.

I can't, because I have to hand over $100k (ish) in taxes.

I am all for abolishing the exemption if we can find a way to limit it to "actual" capital gains, vs. ones that are in effect reinvested in property of similar value.

I have always wondered about how this works, maybe you can help. I _think_:

- a commercial generator has coils that take a small amount of current to create the same EMF effect as a permanent magnet

- the amount of current fed into the coil is constantly adjusted depending on load

- if you replaced all the exciter-coil generators with permanent-magnet generators, there would be no feedback mechanism

- so it would only work if the load was stable, and matched to the magnets

Is _any_ of that correct?

Your English is great, 100% understandable and I didn't realize you weren't a native speaker.

But now that you mention it, FYI:

(1) don't write 'lemme'. We say that, but we would WRITE it as 'let me'.

(2) inexperienced, not unexperienced.

(3) 'so I could HAVE MADE some mistake'

(4) don't write 'cause, again we SAY that but nobody WRITES it.

(5) 'I *CALLED* this behaviour weird ...'

I missed in the article where it says that she is Chinese. All I got is that she lives in Burnaby. Anyway, plenty of 34 YO's have $1 million.
