The NDP are really what I think most people want right now, many just don’t know them well enough to realize it. However, some will vote Conservative to keep the Liberals from gaining control, and others will vote Liberal to keep Conservatives from gaining control, and the NDP will continue to be a “third party”.

Glad someone got to interview the Regina tourist!

It won’t be gone. How else will they make good on their threat of shutting down media companies that say things they don’t like?

The problem is, once the middlemen gain power, they’re never gonna give you up. Music producers are a great example of this, as are telecoms companies.

All the current SaaS stuff is similar; the offerings LOOK similar, but they’re explicitly designed not to be a 1:1 match, so you can’t just take your business elsewhere, just like the mattress companies of old.

We’re even seeing this play out in the streaming video market, where each player has its own differentiator, moreso than we ever saw with traditional cable TV.

Standards are great, but middlemen have no incentives to not subvert them.

False accusations by a member of government no less. One who should know better because he has access to the evidence.

Remember back when climate scientists discovered the ozone layer was thinning and the world banded together and worked to repair the damage we’d done?

I’d like to live in that reality again.

A strange promise, given Trump’s repeated accusation that the Democrats weaponized the justice system against him.

Trump doesn’t have issues with weaponizing the justice system; he has issues with being the target of justice.

Er… the Columbia river basin already has 274 dams. Another isn’t going to do too much, unless you’re thinking of flooding all of BC between the Rockies and the Cascades….

Tell me how that works for BC, who’s a net positive for transfer payments and is the source of the Columbia River whose water system travels through three states after leaving BC?

That means the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist, along with the .io domain and countless websites.

What will happen is that the International Standard for Organization (ISO) will remove the country code “IO.” IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) which creates and assigns top-level domains, uses this code to determine which top-level country domains should exist. Once ‘IO’ is removed, IANA will start the process of retiring .io, which involves stopping new registrations and the expiration of existing ‘.io domains.‘

I don’t get this: shouldn’t Mauritius gain ownership of .io? Russia has .su, and it’s been over 30 years since the Soviets existed.

[edit] also, since there’s .whateveryouwant these days, why not just make .io a non-country TLD? That’s how it’s used anyway.

Nobody voting for face-eating leopards expects to have THEIR face eaten.

This is different from the most distinctively Canadian animals… which is why the Virginia Opossum is in the list, along with other animals that are common to other places, but evolutionarily isolated within Canada.

So… cleanup costs match the cash confiscated.

All this, and only a single person was arrested.

And it’s the largest operation busted — there’s probably numerous others across Canada that haven’t been discovered yet.

Or, it could lower the number of frequent flyers.

While I doubt that the opposition nor the powers that want them in charge are above reproach here, the arguments as to why what they’re saying is false and based on a western agenda don’t stand up to the most basic logic seive either.

It is fully possible for the incumbent to have run a fully corrupt campaign complete with ballot stuffing and intimidation/misinformation AND for the observers to not be objective either. One doesn’t cancel out the other.

The big question is: were the elections provably legitimate and above reproach, and will the majority of Georgians respect the results?

I feel your pain. I have maintainer roles for a few projects where things could be slowed down by a week or more if I didn’t have direct commit access. And I do use that access to make things run faster and smoother, and am able to step in and just get something fixed up and committed while everyone else is asleep. But. For security critical code paths, I’ve come to realize that much like Debian, sometimes slow and secure IS better, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment (like when you’re trying to commit and deploy a critical security patch already being exploited in the wild, and NOBODY is around to do the review, or there’s something upstream that needs to be fixed before your job can go out).

I did that years ago; makes no difference.

…and I’d get to stop clearing junk mail out of my mailbox.

They haven’t been removed from the community though — just the maintainers list. Now they need someone else’s review to commit code to the kernel.

Personally, I think even maintainers should be required to have that — you can be the committer for pre-reviewed code from others, but not just be able to check anything you want in, no matter your reputation (even if you’re Linus). That way a security breach is less likely to cause havoc.

I disagree with the disagreement; there’s a rich history of Presidents attempting to do legally unsound things. Usually it’s up to their advisors, who have traditionally been experts in their areas of executive governance, to steer the President correctly.

Trump has changed things by appointing sycophants as his advisors instead of experts. So the office is essentially a formalization of what most Presidents did as the obvious course of action.
