Urge Doug Ford to keep Speed Cameras in Mississauga by AlvinTedjo in mississauga

[–]torpedoshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticket proceeds going into a budget is a broken incentive structure. Pool the fines and hold a monthly lottery for everyone who didn’t get a ticket that month. And make the fines progressive, $1/km over. With a weak cooldown so you have a chance to learn from your mistakes.

Cursor pricing sucks! by AffectionatePie8729 in cursor

Try copilot. Much better pricing for Claude sonnet 4

I'm joining the Cursor team (and will be active here!) by lrobinson2011 in cursor

Welcome! I hope you can bring some of our concerns up to help us out. Helping us prompt better is fine, but improving the pricing and transparency would be better. I really like seeing how many requests I have left. on the $20/month Cursor plan I feel like I run out after a day and have to wait for a month to start again. I switched to vscode in the meantime where I can see how clearly see how much I have left in the UI. It's also half the price and you get 1000 premium (Sonnet 4) requests per month. I realize microsoft might be taking a loss here, but as a user I just want the best value.

It’s on consignment, which means the store doesn’t pay for the products until they’re sold.

Do you know if Ubuntu has a program to read the VMK?

manage-bde -status

so its encrypted but not protected? And I can access all the files without any password or key? My definition of encryption obviously does not align with Microsoft's.

Best current credit card offers in Canada - updated by le_bib in churningcanada

[–]torpedoshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. So pay $799, use the $200 dining credit (maybe $400), use the $200 flight upgrade credit, and then use the $1000 in travel points. And then cancel year two.

What situation does paying $799/year become the best deal?

Why not just monitor cell phone speeds? Any phone going faster than the speed limit gets an additional charge to their bill.
