Having a phone is an important part of participating in society like it or not. Not everyone has a happy home life of a home at all, and flatly banning anyone from owning a phone (purchased themselves) under 16 could further endanger young people already struggling in a dangerous situation. Or even just maintaining a job to survive.

Of course I don't want to live in a world where under 16s need to work, or need to discretely contact help, but we have to face reality. Let's fix that stuff rather than ban communication devices...

You just described one of the famous Catalan tapas Pan Con Tomate (maybe minus the cheese)

It's like a joke almost. Like the cops from Cyberpunk. The fuck.

So it's proposing we burn traces on single-use paper to solve climate change.

RFID tags as a security device are important and they can last as long as keys.

As a business card we can just stop doing it. Solved!

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful - and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we.

It was funnier when it wasn't so blatant. A politician saying this today might mean it.

I don't use the service, but I believe you bring and install your own games. They're just offering a remote computer.

At least, last I checked.

I like that your emoj or Unicode whatever displays for me as OBJ

Its very web 4

REMOVED H264??!

well then

There is also an education gap. For whatever reason, this type of work is considered extremely niche in North America and even if 100% of local ECE graduates were hired there would still be both a labour and skill shortage.

Also the majority of the people in the local education programs I've seen are also studying from abroad, so they need a visa once they graduate to actually do the work.

Its odd, since it is such a strategic industry, that there is not a more clear strategy here beyond just hiring abroad to fill the massive gaps.

In some ways these companies benefit from the extra power they have over their workers when they depend on employment for their right to stay in the country, but eventually the companies just end up looking like a less promising risk to take versus just going to work in other countries.

Not being a youtuber I don't know, but do sponsors even know that you're using sponsorblock? How could they tell?

I disagree, I believe the regulatory agencies do nothing in Canada to legitimize their claim to regulating software development. Heck, they do nothing for electronics or semiconductors or anything smaller than the power grid.

Uber may be predatory but in a lot of parts of the world, the taxi "system" is also a predatory racket. For both the drivers and the clients.

By grinding it fresh under controlled conditions

Though according to experts, there's still a health risk, like raw egg.

Curious, why the cloudflare analytics?

What you call politics (US political "issues") and politicking (the act of seeking and organizing power or influence) are different things.

Maybe US political issues have no spot in tech but politics are a part of being human.

What on earth do you mean no evidence? I mean just check layoffs.fyi which specifically tracks this.

You missed my point that if professional engineering societies in Canada want to take ownership of software and electronics, they better do something and not just say they're regulating it and sit on it with no clear definition for what it even is.

If they were doing their job, we wouldn't need to debate what a software engineer is. They've let us down and they're getting away with it.

Are you asking in good faith? It doesn't seem like it.

Thr article and the ones linked about the warrant lay it all out.

But architects aren't engineers either! We have engineers in building construction, they are called engineers.

They ensure all required calculations are done, all safety standards are adhered to, they complete detailed designs, and they sign off on a project legally so things like quotes and timelines have legal teeth.

Broadcom is actually terrible, the Rpi foundation just had an in.

NXP deserves some credit for good board support packages and documentation.

Let alone power plants billowing steam and smoke

And they don't damage the environment as much as a hydro dam

And nowhere as ugly as giant farms of solar

Honestly its probably the BEST looking power source

It's built with the assumption that poor people are just irresponsible and if they just had more discipline and mindset they could be a billionaire. 👍

Kudos for immersing yourself in it!

Steer by wire has been around for about 10 years now, mainly in Nissans.

Q50 was first. But it had a tiny mechanical backup. Toyota will bring a full system in Lexus models this year.

Its wild.

Don't you know everyone from outside the US is poor!

Aren't these models trained and evaluated on making pictures of humans that look real? And ones that don't look real are penalized.

So this seems to mean the training method is successful.

Nobody wants an AI that makes unbelievable pictures of humans...

We have carefully studied the floor and concluded that yes it is made of floor.

I'll have you know I'm developing an FTL drive in Java, asshole!

No really, I agree with your sentiment. Joking around here is taken at literal face value. Makes it feel a bit stale.

With the word "multiplex" does it let you play both the radio and 8-track at the same time (overlapping?)

Not so much well defined as fancy words. There is no example of a paying software development job that has no economic impact if the software were to fail.

If I ran a small shopify page for goat feed, I'd be an engineer for making sure the site stayed working so farmers could order their feed. It could even put lives at risk!

It really only excludes someone privately working on a video game for fun.

So given that, what are they actually regulating? What are they providing to their members to help them become better "software engineers". I say it's nothing at all? +

They're not being sarcastic, they are repeating Google's (bs) justification

I don't think so. There even was an operating one in Saskatchewan Canada, but all it did was send the CO2 through a pipe across the US border for more oil extraction.

So... worse than doing nothing. 👌

Its not currently operating because even that was too expensive to justify.

Crazy thing is it's just the advertising channel for a local moto gear retailer but man ryanf9 and the crew put their souls into it.

You have to hire them on amazon though

This is very much the bell curve meme, but those in the know would be aware that the US military had been working on it for a while now.

I hope you're trolling because if not you need to do some research into what a battlefield is 👀

Not always. Some are designed for areas with a prevailing wind and deal with smaller direction changes using pitch (angle) of the blades
