The problem in the north is there is no backbone to tap into. Even satellites are below the horizon in the far north. Musk's Starlink program probably won't have satellites that far north either as the population is so low.
In my experience, private is seldom better then government except when you have a government that wants to sabotage stuff and then sell it to donors. The problem is that eventually you get one of those governments.
You need a good modem. Where I am, I had quite a few modems that would train down to 0kb/s quite quick. Ended up with a USR robotics that would maintain 26.4 though the upload speeds seemed to train down to about half that. Then you need a serial port to hook it up to, the USB modems I tried all died fairly quick.
>Actually, some First Nations areas ban MJ stores. If you were Canadian, you'd know that. I'm Canadian and didn't know that, it's not common knowledge and it's irrelevant to most people's daily lives. Without looking it up, can you name any non-native towns that openly declared they wanted to ban weed? Just curious how good your Canadian trivia is. I don't even believe you live in Canada.
Surrey BC just elected a municipal government that will ban weed stores. Surrey is the second largest town in BC (might be the largest soon) Actually banning weed by a municipality is outside their power.
I used to be able to drive to downtown Vancouver in an hour (traffic was a lot better then) and had a party line until about 25 years ago. Last year finally got cell coverage and a rural LTE plan with a 250 GB limit and 10-25/1-3 connection. These rural LTE plans seem to be common in the hinterlands of BC.
More realistic is postal service as well as phone and internet, kids are home schooled or shipped to the big city to be educated. There are a few small villages spread over the north and why shouldn't they have some basic services? Or perhaps you figure we should withdraw all the people in the north, and give it to Russia? Having a population up there is part of maintaining sovereignty.
Last year Telus built a cell tower, probably subsidized and I moved from dial up ($45 a month plus phone line) to a LTE connection. This gives me 12-25 Mbs down,1-3 up with a 250 GB data cap at close to a hundred a month, probably subsidized as well. This connection is considered a rural thing and is quite common in the hinterlands of BC and works well enough. Can stream at good enough quality and most everything else is good enough. Nothing like that where you are?
There's a few things going into creating more favorable conditions for fires. The amount of beetle die off is increasing much faster then can be managed. Beetle killed trees, usually pines, burn really well. It is really hard to manage large areas of beetle killed trees. The beetles are worse as winters are not cold enough to kill them off. Springs are happening earlier, causing much more undergrowth, which then dries out and becomes potential fuel. You'd have to burn everything yearly, which is not practical. The summers and especially the autumns are becoming drier, dry fuel burns better. There's only a short season where prescriptive burns could even be done safely. The autumns in particular are known to be windy. What do you do about lots of undergrowth? There are more people living in the forest, it is hard to do prescriptive burning when the forest is full of houses. Those same people demand that fires be put out before their property is burned. More people also equals more human caused fires. Something like 3/4's of fires are human caused. A bit of DDGing shows this site, https://fivethirtyeight.com/fe... that mostly agrees with what i said above, which is mostly based on what is happening where I live, a ways north of California though it does point out that the temperature increases have been larger then I thought.
How much does the American government owe? How about the various State governments? Every tax cut that involves borrowing more money is a subsidy to the people and industries of the country, which is one of the reasons behind the success of America, debt. The main difference between America and Venezuela is that America has the petrol dollar and being the current main reserve currency which allows them to spread the inflation caused by printing money over most of the worlds population, while Venezuela is just a regular corrupt country which can't just keep printing money.
When you start a program under X, it runs in a Window. You can have multiple Windows on your desktop, each with a different program running independently of each other. It's even possible to do it in a console, with text mode programs. It's how I was first introduced to Windows on an Apple II.
Things like the space programs leaping ahead isn't due to new discoveries but rather the perfecting of old discoveries. As far as I know, Musk for example, hasn't discovered anything amazingly new, just used old ideas in new ways. There's nothing in the Falcon rockets that are really new, the motors aren't special or anything but he has put stuff together very well, including things like taking advantage of modern computers to land a used rocket. Basically a technologist, which is good because he is making the previous discoveries about rocketry useful.
I have a hard time with the idea of a politician or anyone at that, closing a news site, especially for "bad behavior" as it is a way to censor. Much too easy to declare something illegal or treasonous. These people who claim to respect the freedom of the press and yet are OK with shutting down sites are being inconsistent.
Meanwhile 43% of Republicans think the President should be able to shut down news sites compared to 36% who agreed with the 1st's idea of a free press. http://www.nationalmemo.com/po... One of the things I hate about rightists is how quick to censor they've always been. Sure they go on about the freedom to be assholes, but anything considered immoral by them is quickly censored. This ranges from the Hayes code (not an actual law but driven by threat of law) to a woman outright saying she'll trade sex for money. And when you look worldwide, you have right wing countries such as Russia prosecuting Pussy riot for speaking, various religious countries that will throw you off the nearest building for what you say, or lure you into their embassy to suffocate and dis-member a journalist who their Crown Prince was pissed off at. The right wing seems to worship these types of countries, especially the ultra right wing Saudi Arabia, along with their President who continuously attacks the press.
My understanding is that the energy output, per cubic meter, is about the same as the human body, 50-100 watts or whatever. Just that there are a lot of cubic meters in the core of the Sun, so it adds up. As the AC says, proton-proton fusion is slow, even at the pressures and temperatures at the core.
So only build boathouses? At least where I live, the whole Province is forest with some exceptions in the semi-desert where you get grass/sage fires really easy and have the same problem of too much fuel growing lately in the spring.
An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by Vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or Purchasers of such Copies, during the Times therein mentioned.
You're thinking of the American copy 80 years later, though at the time, the arts and sciences covered most learning
Perhaps we should just implement a tax to pay these poor commercial game developers. They obviously deserve to be paid for their work even if people don't buy their product. It can go with the internet streaming tax the *AA's are pushing for up here in Canada. Use over 15 GBs a month means you're streaming and since Netflix, Spotify, etc don't pay the artists enough, a tax fixes it. We could just add Steam to the list, make the tax bigger, and pay these poor souls so they can continue to produce stuff that people don't want to pay for. These are people who are owed a living, as they have families and bills to pay, and just like the artists who sell too cheap, they need support, especially from people like me who don't play games.
What people get hot and bothered by is the fact that stealing is short hand for scripture of "do not covet thy neighbors property"
Every single churchie joe who has ever pirated a game, movie, movie or other piece of art is going to hell. So pirates either do not believe in any kind of hell or do not believe in any kind of afterlife, so they are just following the rule of "live life to it's fullest, you only live once"
If you do believe that you will be judged on your deeds on earth once you pass away, then you'd also realize that fraud is considered a more heinous sin than violence. Sure you might kill someone, but you surely had a good reason for it right? There is no good reason to steal anything other than food, and even then bread is the only thing you can be justified in stealing and not reap negative karma for.
Stealing anything else, be it a cake, or a digital song, is bad, and the reason it's bad is because when people realize there is no cosmic force going to punish them, they then they feel justified in stealing everything that nobody will actually miss.
Oh, fuck off. The ones going to hell are those who stole from culture and invented a fake form of property called copyright. No religious book starts out with "Don't copy this" as they're all based on the idea that ideas are to be shared and attempting to lock them up for money is theft. All religious leaders have used others words without compensating them. Some like Jesus even created stuff out of thin air even though it deprived someone of the opportunity to sell their stuff. Think about it, copying food instead of buying it, therefore depriving some baker an opportunity to sell bread.
Once again, at least where I live, it is the conservatives who won't fund prescriptive burning. It costs money, especially when you have to do it every year as every spring new fuel grows and then dries out. It also gets tricky doing prescriptive burning close to dwellings.
The problem is you don't know that the market is going to recover that fast. Might not have a government that prints or borrows large amounts of money or might have one that actually cares about spending.

So like how Americans don't speak English and can't spell.

There are such things as greenhouses. Do need a small fan in the autumn to defeat the mold.
Personally, I grow good enough stuff outside in BC.

Unluckily he just put the copyright shit in NAFTA2, and he is planning lots more of the same as he isolates countries and pushes new trade deals.
The problem is you don't know that the market is going to recover that fast. Might not have a government that prints or borrows large amounts of money or might have one that actually cares about spending.
Yea, that sounds about right. Be interesting to see how it works in practice.
