Many studies show that a warming climate will increase available land for growing crops, specifically in the northern hemisphere. They also indicate that a warmer climate is likely to equate to longer growing seasons in those areas.
So yes, I suppose people wanting more food production should care about it...
At this point when it comes to climate predictions we all remember lots and lots of wrong predictions, but very few people remember any correct ones. And what ones do happen to be correct, tend to be contained in a flood of ones that weren't.
The climate is changing. But to constantly put out predictions that prove inaccurate (and alarmist) does a severe disservice to that cause. It also doesn't help that every single adjustment to past data is to move it towards predicted models, and away from actual measurements. It used to be that measurements were taken to establish the accuracy of models. Now models are made to establish the accuracy of actual measurements.
On any sane site? exactly the same as they would render otherwise.
On most of the internet? a horrible mess.
The whole point to HTML was that the client could be in charge of choosing how to display it, and the server didn't need to care.... long gone are those days...
The Do Not Call list "works". I have noticed a definite drop in calls since putting my number on it. It's not completely successful by any stretch, but it is something. For those people that say it just provides a list of numbers to call, I call BS, the address space of the public telephone network is far too small for companies to care about a list. They just start at the first number and dial to the last. Plus, if they are intending to call people on the list, they're better off not subscribing to the list, at least then they can pretend they didn't know better.
Of course the difference is that DNC has the weight of law behind it, and even that only gets it half way working. Without the law, it would be the same place DNT is, completely ignored.
I'm not really in favour of permanent large warning banners that are on every webpage you go to at all times. This isn't a case of a couple of shady sites ignoring it. this is a case of NOBODY following it.
Anyone who has ever thought that the server should have control of the interaction between client and server on the open internet is extremely naive, or more likely, malicious. The internet is full of garbage, and the only solution is to give the client more ability to block it. asking the server to be nicer has never worked, and never will.
But the US asked us to. And for many decades that's all that's been required to get our government to fall all over itself to comply.
The Canadian people repeatedly tell the government they don't want us to roll over every time the US comes calling, however regardless of which party is in power, they always place US interests above those of our own country. Every single time.
You must be about the only Quebecois to do so. That's just not the normal way things are done in Quebec. Sure it's possible, that doesn't make it normal.
And yet, the author seems to think that this isn't the intention of every government. Saying policy makers should be concerned when it is in fact the policy makers who are purposefully doing this. It's not that they don't understand, it's that they DO.
Either way though, censorship and propaganda are both easier and more effective the more centralized the resource. It's easy to troll 1 site, it's hard to troll thousands. It's easy to enforce your terms on one company, difficult on thousands.
Centralized is not a problem for governments as the summary implies, it's exactly what they want.
will force policymakers everywhere to reckon with the fact that the internet itself is increasingly becoming centralized -- and therefore increasingly vulnerable to manipulation,
The big thing that policy makers have always despised about the internet is that it's decentralized. The more centralized it becomes, the happier they are! It's very hard to censor (I mean, "protect the children" or "eliminate hate speech") a decentralized internet. It's far easier to just knock on facebook's door and tell them to take something down, or to give up the identity of the poster.
The US is less tolerant of crime and better at catching it than other countries.
Citation needed. The evidence when compared to other similar countries, does not bear out that assertion. For example, The homicide clearance rate (percentage of murders where the offender is caught): - United States: 65% - Canada: 75% - England: 85% - Australia: 87% - New Zealand: 91%
There's also ample evidence that there are simply more crimes committed in the US compared to other parts of the western world. (e.g. that homicide rate is about 4 times higher in the US than any of those other countries)
Black people commit more crimes so they go to jail more often.
While that does appear to be true in the US, it also appears to be true that black people are more likely to be suspected of a crime and arrested for it, even if innocent. They are also more likely to be given harsher sentences for the same crime as their white counterparts.
Fix it or shut up about it all being "the system's" fault.
Despite a ton of study on the subject, and a rather well understood mechanism at play, there seems to be very little appetite to actually fix anything.
Why would you replace existing plates every 10 years? That seems incredibly wasteful! My plate is currently 20 years old, and my parents have plates that are 35 years old dating back to the last time the government changed the look of the plates. (Government tried again to change the look of the plates a couple years back, but there was a huge outcry about the waste of money so they gave up. It appears that they were only trying to change the plates because the government of the day didn't like that the new opposition party that just formed had used part of the slogan on the plate as part of their name, so they wanted to spend millions of taxpayer dollars just to try to change that)
Outside the fast food or retail industries, the vast majority of employers refuse to accept resumes in that way. They always insist that all resumes must be submitted through whichever broken web form they have on their site.
Germany has outright stated that they don't believe the US as no evidence has ever been presented. Considering that US companies have actually been caught doing exactly what Huawei is accused of, but Huawei never has, I'm far more trusting of Huawei than of any American company.
This is the truth, but in reality the companies are so delusional that they always think their remote servers are more secure than local access.
I have a Vera controller at home that has both local and remote access. In the interface there's a "secure mode" that disables local access, but leaves remote access. There's no option to disable remote access (except a firewall on your router). That's not my definition of secure.
Depends on a few things. like when you bought it, and on what continent (north america? forget it, Europe, maybe, see below)
It's also about what was advertised, if this was simply some APIs that someone discovered but that were never actually advertised by the seller, then you probably don't have much of a leg to stand on. If however it was advertised functionality, then yes, Europeans can probably get a refund, North America doesn't have any concept of consumer protection though, so you'd be out of luck here.
You DO have a hub, it's whatever the zwave adapter is plugged in to.
That said, I gave up on the absmal zwave stuff on home assistant a while ago, and moved my zwave devices to a vera unit which integrates great with the home assistant setup, and is rock solid reliable.
The nice thing with systems like home assistant is that you can choose exactly how much, or how little, integration you need or want with other devices and services.
I have a home assistant setup on a raspberry pi at home, but it also connects through IFTTT to google assistant, and I can connect through my VPN from my phone or computer anywhere.
All the "I" of IOT, without the vendor shenanigans.
Apparently, according to this article, the seat isn't as random as you think. It's instead chosen specifically to be as unwanted as possible so as to force people to pay extra for a choice.

Too much politics interfering with the science.
Everything is ALWAYS different for large corporations.

Some would describe signing treaties when it's well known in advance that only one side will follow them to be the treasonous act.

Minimal choice? Minimal features? Minimal specs?
Very minimal. Except the price, you can still get more phone for less money elsewhere, but that's Apple for you.
You must be about the only Quebecois to do so. That's just not the normal way things are done in Quebec. Sure it's possible, that doesn't make it normal.
And you don't think surveillance is easier on a more centralized internet?

Generally in Quebec the plate stays with the vehicle, not the person as it does in the rest of Canada.
