Actually all of the evidence supports it. What doesn't occur is the middle income jobs rising at the same rate - the gradual elimination of the middle class. That said the lower class ends up having a better standard of living that was equal to or greater than the middle class of generations past.
Ticketmaster is a monopoly where I live and the problem becomes the venues. Do you think they'll turn the system off at other times or do you think they'll collect as much data as they can and sell it?
> Hell when big name companies are offering to pay me($37/hr) under the table for work, there's a serious fucking problem with tax rates
LOL - That's probably cause they're offloading costs onto you! It's hard to say without knowing your job/industry but I'm betting they're saving a bunch of money on not having to contribute to things like your retirement fund, or EI so you're protected when they decide to stop paying you.
We need a central database of information types/uses (but no actual personal information) which anyone who collects personal information can query to get a user's preferences. Set once and forget.
Apps/websites/etc must then adhere to those preferences, even if it interferes with the operation of their service. These defaults could then be overriden on an individual basis as an opt-in approach.
A fair number of the IT world do go to Silicon Valley due to the wages and opportunities. Canadian IT wages are a joke for the most part. That said, it's because we have a higher level of general computing knowledge. It's a good thing in that we are fairly computer literate, but it's also a bad thing because there's a lot of people who've gotten minimal education in IT and are filling roles they have no business being in. Security is going to be a big problem here.
The 50k job loss was expected. It's a short term decline that happens with every minimum wage increase which is inevitably recovered within about a year. 100% of the increase at the bottom end is spent because it's still impossible for the poor to save money, they just end up with slightly more to spend on the things they need. Thus, in the long term it grows the economy by circulating that money through the economy.
It's a known, rare Chrome bug with certain Intel HD drivers. The only "easy" way to fix it is to disable/renable the driver. Probably related to hardware acceleration and gifv
Palemoon/Watermoon are great but now that they've diverged from the main FF line they're most likely to become security problems or be forced to make the same switch to "Quantum". A temporary solution at best
The platform on which it's running had no crash problems in Firefox. Firefox was actually remarkably stable & fast - it just suffers from "designer" syndrome. The users needs are put last while the designers do whatever the fuck the trend is this week.
As to ecosystems - there was an entire suite of web development tools I used which was obliterated and only a fraction of the functionality was replaced by a Mozilla version. IRC, SSH, FTP, SQLite, etc were all great extensions that were wiped out by FF57. That doesn't include the interface improvements which allowed in browser sorting/filtering/searching/exporting of tabled data, right click->mass open/save/copy of links, etc.
I switched away from Firefox recently for various reasons and Chrome has been a sore disappointment. Tabs crash constantly, GIFS stop working (shows first frame then goes black), the addon ecosystem is worse than Firefox - there's more of them, just poorly made and option poor.
There's not a single browser on the market today that I would actively recommend. Just an array of mediocrity.
Of course you'd give them FTL and proper game mechanics. This data would just give added realism. Updates come in the form of new scientific knowledge updating the game's environment (along with typical game updates). It could even be built as a base "sim" environment for any developer to add their own mechanics on top of.
Absolutely. There are games designed to trap "whales" who will drop thousands of dollars on a single game. They'll design features tailored to their wants just so they'll keep dropping cash.
A space MMO based on this data and the exoplanet data would be insanely awesome. Mix it with something like a mix of Planetside and Section 8 - bloody good time could be had.
Gambling has long been a protected area due to the social damage it causes beyond the immediate impact to the individual. Loot boxes are gambling without a doubt. They're fine as a game mechanic, so long as you never have to exchange real money to obtain them.
The sad thing is that companies will just move the point of payment. Buying "lives" or "health potions" or something like that, which lets you grind for currency to buy loot boxes and grinding without buying these things will be made impossible.
The former was referring to PIPEDA which is a set of principles, meaning there's still some question as to whether or not they are in fact laws or something legally meaningless like "guidelines"
Canada has laughable privacy "principles" they aren't even strictly laws. Harper introduced so many changes to communication laws which now include something along the lines of "except for the purposes of gathering evidence" that the government can invade your privacy pretty much whenever they want.
The Privacy Act for government protecting your privacy is more of a tool to protect the government from disclosure of documents it doesn't wish to disclose.
What I don't get is why Steam Spy is shutting down. I hopped on over to TrueSteamAchievements.com and sure enough they have a tutorial on how to put your settings back:
Business interests have taken over. The next major development is underway now with qbits. The big problem is the storage cartels. They're conspiring to keep manufacturing limited, HD capacities relatively low, & prices inflated.
Slashdot Mirror
XUL pleased my anus greatly
They really are. The only reason I keep it installed is because Chrome is just as incompetent and the others aren't worth mentioning
The live music scene where I live is on life support outside of major venues. It's a sad state of affairs.

Pity the fool who goes in KISS makeup and confuses the system
Personally, this will guarantee I never go to another concert. Facial recognition is one step too far

Most Western countries have a minimum warranty period on electronics - the US is one of the few who don't.

This case will be dismissed if it ever makes it that far. The law they charged him under does not cover accessing public facing documents.
