The simplest solution is just don’t buy these TVs

It wasn’t always so one sided. Jane Jacobs wrote about the power and effect of local community surveillance over the streets in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. When we zone for and build mixed use streets with enough density and points of interest to ensure foot traffic at all points in the day from a variety of ordinary people, with a healthy percentage of them being established locals, then it’s much easier for good samaritans to notice when something goes wrong (like a kidnapping attempt) and intervene. Privacy used to be a lot easier to achieve too when you needed it.

Seems to be gaining popularity with real estate and construction to help visualize spaces as they’re being built and/or sold

More fentanyl comes up than is caught headed down. The fentanyl problem feels like it’s blown way out of proportion in order to justify the use of emergency powers to enact tariffs without going through congress.

Almost every trip inside cities, between cities, and even to some rural places could be done with alternatives to cars.

I know it can be hard to imagine a world where cars get minimized to filling a small niche role in a broader transportation system, especially when today most people in Canada and the US think cars are synonymous with mobility. Other countries have shown that car lite/free lifestyles are not only be possible with today’s technology, but desirable.

The alternatives are more space efficient - meaning less traffic congestion, they’re better for the environment, and people’s health and wellbeing.

Even if you’re one of the few who insists on keeping your car, wouldn’t it be nice to give safe, viable, and reliable alternatives to everyone else who doesn’t want to drive so they can get out of your way on the roads?

Have you tried OnlyOffice?

Does anyone use MPL anymore? Is it a decent middle ground or the worst of both worlds?

I don’t trust most of these websites to give an objective answer for most people’s ridings. Better to spend a bit more time and look at the poll data and riding’s history yourself.

If you’re voting strategically ABC, make sure that the Liberals actually have the strongest contender in your riding based on the polls.

There are a lot of NDP / Conservative battleground ridings that the Liberals will never pick up.

Here is a video of current Liberal heritage minister Pascale St-Onge saying she wants to change the funding formula and bring per capita funding up to the G7 average, up to $62/person, doubling it. Relevant part starts around 1 minute in.

It remains to be seen whether Mark Carney will be receptive to this.

NDP:

The NDP will invest in Canadian journalism and CBC/Radio-Canada

Liberals:

Heritage minister’s vision for a better CBC/Radio-Canada: a clear choice for Canada’s future

Edit: Video providing more details from the heritage minister, including pitching doubling the per capita funding up to total of $62/person, which is around the G7 average

(FYI Charlie Angus is a Minister of Parliament in Canada.)

Member of Parliament. He’s a part of the NDP opposition party. Ministers are heads of ministries, which are like departments, and ministers have traditionally been from the governing party.

Would you recommend LunaNode? I’ve been looking for AWS, gcloud, Azure, and DigitalOcean alternatives and a lot are underwhelming.

Try OnlyOffice instead

My experience with it has been mostly positive, however the laptop I’m running it on is aging and now doesn’t have support for hardware accelerated video decoding for some of the newer codecs. Watching some streams and videos has been a painful experience. Not sure if there’s a way around that.

Have you heard of Qubes?

It would not surprise me if game developers use those screens to gain more time to load assets and initialize things in the background.

I’ll bet they do that with cutscenes and elevators too whenever you’re about to go into a new zone.

somebody should be modelling and providing detailed pricing analysis.

This sounds like what MPAC should be doing in Ontario. The last assessment was done in 2016. Ever since Doug Ford’s PCs got elected, the Tories have been delaying them for years, even before the pandemic was a convenient excuse, and now they’ve delayed indefinitely. They also closed all of the field offices. Even when MPAC did do assessments, they didn’t track market prices well because they only did them every 4 years. For comparison, Denmark calculates these values every 2 years.

Another organization in this space in Ontario and Manitoba to be aware of is Teranet. They’re a private, for-profit company that has exclusive contracts with the Ontario and Manitoba governments. Seems shady to me that Ontario and Manitoba have allowed one company to monopolize and hoard our land registry data. In contrast, in BC, a crown corporation manages land registries data.
