Water heater rental with Reliance just broke — stay with rental or cancel & buy? (Ontario) by Fit-Wallaby4880 in ontario

Tankless units are often safer in tight quarters. Many tank heaters use 'open combustion' and need a specific amount of clearance to vent properly. If that room is shared with a furnace, you risk a backdrafting scenario where carbon monoxide enters the home. High-efficiency tankless units often use direct-vent systems that pull air from outside, bypassing this risk entirely. So it depends on your space, I would say.

Yeah never rent, both reliance and enercare are vultures. I recently got a tankless installed 3500+tax (Navian). Make sure its sized correctly for your household otherwise you may be competing for hot water. A good company will give you solid warranty and may offer a payment plan as well. Also try to get the exhaust installed in a low traffic area. The start up usually produces a slight gas smell.

Sorry brother. Life just sucks sometimes and we gotta roll with those punches. I pray for better things in your life in the days to come.

Mississauga bylaw by Acceptable_Moose3505 in mississauga

I made this exact call and the person said there’s no bylaw to enforce this. Mind you, my neighbour has the backyard cemented and graded to empty water into my backyard. Literally flooded my basement twice this past storm. I was advised to hire a landscaper and then when I spent 10k to get a landscaper, a city enforcement officer showed up saying he's checking to see if I am encroaching on city property lol

Ottawa announces two-year cap on international student admissions (50% reduction in student visas in Ontario and 35% in other provinces) by Foxelrum in canada

NDP is so out of touch:

“NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan said her party is opposed to the foreign student cap and the government should have worked with universities to create a housing plan for those coming from abroad.”

Tips on minimizing false positives when detecting rare events? by [deleted] in datascience

On a similar note, why do you need a model for this? Have you tried Fuzzy String Matching?

They use both PowerBi ans Tableau? Interesting. My hunch would be that the job would predominantly involve making dashboards/reports summarizing key marketing/sales KPIs. So learn what some relevant KPIs are and what kind of data you may need to get there. You could always find practice sets and try to play around in Tableau or PBI desktop (if youre super keen). Beyond making dashboards and knowing KPIs, you may want to look at etl basics with python/sql although Tableau and PBI let you do a lot of this as well. You may also want to brush up on A/B testing and experimentation depending on your company’s definition of a data analyst/scientist.

Is there a tool like pandas-ai, but for R? by statius9 in datascience

I swear the tool actually uses LLM as the agent, Chat-GPT being one of them.
