It's worth noting that this pilot was not UBI; there was a means test for getting the money, and the amount of money received directly corresponded to income. It was basically a welfare reform pilot using the hot trendy words of the day: https://www.ontario.ca/page/on...
Also it was killed because there was an election, a different party got in, and said different party has been killing every program the previous government instituted on principal.
Not exactly, but they do confuse the issue. If you notice, only the Wopper is being delayed, and it's being delayed despite being able to be served faster. Other sandwiches like Chicken (as pointed out in the ad) do not require waiting in the slow line.
If we assume Woppers are a substitute for torrents then the net neutrality parallel is obvious - unfortunately the target audience for the commercial won't make the connection.
Because when you display a frame in a video player you hold that frame for a certain duration against the computers clock which is measured in nanoseconds (or milliseconds). To calculate that duration at present you take the quotient (e.g. 25/60 * 1000 (or 1000000000)) given you a floating point approximation of the actual frame duration. Now in reality that approximation is pretty good; at least if you do the calculation properly to avoid exaggerating early rounding error.
What this proposal does is ensure that the number you get is a whole number of flicks, so no approximations are necessary. Unfortunately it only helps if you have a flick timer that you can time against, so it needs OS and hardware support to be useful.
If you don't want to read that: It's a wireless communication protocol that requires very close proximity, used for mobile payment, and sometimes to transfer settings to new phones.
Why is that related to the clicking noise? Well my first guess of interference is thrown out by the fact that they can fix it in software; maybe someone can shed light on this?
In order to get the partnership, Google had to agree to 20% affordable housing, which in Toronto means rented out at less than 80% of the average rent for housing in Toronto. What that means for the rest of the area - no idea.
Also, while no one was known to be affected, Argentina's Equifax employee portal was found to be gated by the username/password admin/admin: http://www.bbc.com/news/techno...
"Humane or not, what is so especially "undignified" about rats? What makes them worse, than, for example, cats, deer or wild horses?"
The author of the summary has obviously never had a rat infestation. They can swim, dig several feet down, chew through concrete, plastic, wood, drywall, and otherwise go to amazing destructive measures to get to a heat or food source. Unlike mice, keeping your food in the cupboard or Tupperware containers is useless as they chew right through them, and destroy your home's foundation while they are at it. No, rats are not at all like wild horses, cats, or deer. Rats are a special kind of hell.
If you need an ecological reason. The destructive urban rats are an invasive species, not native to North America. We brought them here - and I for one applaud every effort to get rid of them.
I'm not sure why "uses a computer" necessitates a new class. It seems to me that your argument applies to proof by exhaustion whether done by hand or computer. Also it is not unheard of to try to reach simpler proofs after constructing a complex one - the investigation doesn't have to stop here, but now we know the answer.
That's not exclusively true. Certainly telling people you're having suicidal thoughts is a cry for help or a cry for attention, but if it's a cry for help and you don't get it you might follow through. Unfortunately I have personal experience not taking someone's suicide claims seriously enough. I wouldn't take that chance again.
That's somewhat revisionist. IE 3-6 when they were released were much more standards compliant than other browsers, particularly Netscape Navigator. (Layer tags, seriously?) IE was the first browser to fully comply with CSS1. The problem was that once IE6 was out they had so far outpaced their competitors (and abused their monopoly position) that there was no more competition, and since Microsoft was not a web company and had no interest in seeing the web advance, they did nothing for years. Of course years later when Firefox and eventually Chrome came out, IE was horribly outdated - and then when MS tried to make up for lost time with IE7 they failed miserably. That was a browser that was not standards compliant at release. IE8 was better, with very good CSS 2.1 compliance, but still fairly horrible DOM compliance and none of the CSS 3 stuff everyone else already had. 9, 10, 11, Edge are all better, but they still suffer from too long of a delay between releases and customers holding on to old versions for too long.
Except that ORTC is an open standard, that is being pushed by both Microsoft and Google because it's better / easier to use than WebRTC. WebRTC could be extinguished but no harm is done except to early adopters (and even they could just plug in a shim.)
It seems unlikely. Most Canadian's are not paying attention to his anti-science policies, the money being thrown away fighting equality for Muslims, or any of the rest of the nonsense. They'll vote blue because they've always voted blue and because "lower taxes = good". The left is split down the middle and I predict yet another conservative minority.
I could be wrong, Alberta noticed when their one industry economy started tanking; and the NDP wave there might be enough to turn the tides to a short lived NDP minority.
Any sort of sane or stable government doesn't stand a chance.
Presumably so that people running servers who are not up in the know about cipher suites, now finally have some incentive to take a look (because they ignored earlier security reports - they didn't have any 'impact'). Once they find out they're using RC4 they need to figure out how to pick different ciphers, and maybe upgrade their web server and ssl library. Maybe it's far fetched, but browser makers are pretty conservative about 'breaking the web' for anyone.
This is a viewpoint that's very vocal but overstated. For a lot of people monogamy is secure, comfortable, and satisfies their sexual needs - particularly when the partners communicate openly about sex.
Incidentally a relationship is between two people, not society at large; if you feel you need to have sex with other people be up front about it, maybe your potential partner will be game, maybe they won't, but at least it saves the messy lying and trust violation.
Based on the CBC radio interview this morning (I haven't RTFA) they are still missing the head. Also there is conflicting information about where the parts were found.
No, it would be more detrimental to their efforts if they stopped king neckbeard from posting than if they allow him to continue when the general populous doesn't care or considers him paranoid. Kinda like how CSIS monitors all the file upload sites but doesn't report people for copyright infringement (they talked about having to sift through episodes of glee).
Incidentally these silly little freedoms, to talk in a voice that isn't heard, to buy and share entertainment, and the ability to choose a Jesus fish or flying spaghetti monster for their back bumper is all most 'free world' citizens care about.

Just want to point out that I work for Rave Mobile Safety and Smart911 is a product, not the name of the company.
Would be interesting, except 10nm, and 7nm are marketing terms with no basis in reality, and are actually the same. https://www.eejournal.com/arti...

Not to be confused with Flatpak ...

In addition to Alain's comments about the UK customers, there was also 100K Canadians affected: http://www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Yes - plus a bunch of filler to appease the slashdot comment rules.

Somehow letting people in a nightclub carry doesn't seem like the best idea I've heard all day. (You've been to a nightclub right?)

And to follow up with the obvious, but ASP.net (MVC) is among the better server side languages.
