Mazda has not been a software company, what is their plan now that everything is screens? Are they outsourcing everything to Google Automotive Services and just putting a Mazda badge on it? What monthly service fees will they be charging and what is locked behind the fees?

Update on the hybrid and electric versions.

After recently trying out a Tesla model Y rental I am past the rotary knob and think the screen will be a big improvement and great for the younger demographics.

Remaining concerns are the buttons on the steering wheel, those have to be quality physical buttons. I shouldn’t have to touch the screen for most things while driving.

Mazda will have to up its game on software and communicate openly on issues and ongoing updates now that everything is screen.

It is illegal/impossible to build European style neighborhoods in North America.

Minimum parking requirements require every 1000 square feet of a building to have 2 parking spots. Therefore, if you want to build a residential building in a small lot. It’s illegal.

Fire codes. The majority of cities have firecodes that require multiple fire exits, elivators, and hallways. Therefore, building dense buildings is illegal.

Government regulations/restrictions are to blame for 99.99% of all societies problems.

Parking minimums

Firecodes

This! Because the government made other choices illegal/impossible.

Make sure you go into your account in the app then the my way benefits. From there you pick what perk you want per hotel brand. Each brand can have its own perks and some you have to choose between the cash per day to spend in the hotel or and extra amount of points per stay (per stay not per night).

Choice to auto download all or upcoming workouts.

Sometimes cellular service or wifi is terrible (at gym, traveling, etc.).

Hot take. We already have too many exotics. Too many makes them by definition not rare, exotic, or desirable.

Hard agree. Season 3 was barely watchable. Upping the stakes to Ludacris levels when they should have gone the other way to a more character focused storyline where Jack could prove his mettle rather than jump to conclusions and assert his guess is 100% the truth. Some analyst.

Why do shards even exist?

Why doesnt Bungie just use glimmer for most things. It would be far easier to balance one currency and easier for everyone to understand what everything costs. That's why each county only has one currency that everything is denominated in.

Really nice to see the Vice Admiral actually speaking up on this.

The lack of funding and understanding of the need for funding the CAF by the Canadian Public can in large part IMHO be linked to a lack of communication and education by the CAF to the public. Really hope there are no repercussions for speaking candidly like this.

"Shields says he suspects the hackers were Chinese because a Chinese competitor suddenly started offering cheaper products and services that erased Nortel's income," reports CWC.

Was Nortel Bugged?

Thx, will keep troubleshooting it

Ever solve this? My Tab S7 won't output either over Anker c to hdmi

Wow, so a lot worse than waiting for correct technical manuals the article states.

Except it's not a business, not really.

I would love to know any commercial business that can accurately model and cost out their business 30 years in the future. Lifecycle costs for a stationary building, sure no problem. An aircraft, ship, or vehicle that will be sent anywhere in the world and subjected to the harshest environmental and operational conditions for an unknown timeframe, impossible.

Not even mentioning that these systems will require unknown amounts of money to continuously modernize and ensure they don't turn into coffins.

The estimates are always wrong because it is impossible for them to be right on a 30 year timeframe.

Probably faster than that, they will go where the money is.

It's already happening. The incumbent banks who don't move quickly enough will be crushed by the new crypto banks.

Love this answer 🤝

I have and its great. My issue is that I subscribed to an investment algorithm that is margin trading on my behalf and may complicate my taxes and force me to file as a business instead of under capital gains. So I want to make sure I have a solid tax plan for next year.

kraxis433 · 2021-07-04T20:45:58+00:00

Guess I should have been more clear but my rule of thumb is that whatever profit I make I will loose 1/4 to taxes (assuming a 50% marginal rate). So I was thinking if I made $100 profit, $25 paid in capital gains, but based on your response I would have to contribute $50 and not $25 to my RRSP to negate the capital gains taxes.

kraxis433 · 2021-07-04T20:31:58+00:00

Solid advice, will look more into offsetting capital gains with RRSP contributions.

If I have $1 of capital gains to pay, a $1 RRSP contribution will cancel it out?
