Really terrible in Canada. If you don’t have a family physician (like everyone I know), good luck making it through triage at the walk-in clinic because you want a test to see your baseline values or proactively check for deficiency. The “hack” is you can pay a naturopath to order tests but the tests are not covered by public insurance in this case (actually pretty expensive IIRC).
Correct and complete explanation.
Dumb change on the part of British Columbia.

Historically speaking, it may have meant open to poorly socialized developers.
Sam Altman the war contractor? I assume they are no longer called defense contractors under this administration.
I wonder what Apple estimates this percentage to be given some of their design decisions.
If you offered me schematics and PCB designs for a tool I desired, I might be /more/ inclined to give you money just to support you. Nothing to do with my ability or interest in DIY (I also design and sell electronics).
Don’t worry too much. I’ve incorporated in AB and BC. Neither is difficult to setup or maintain. My regulatory burden amounts to about one weekend of effort per year including corporate tax filings. That’s a baseline. Harder if you employ a team (not just subcontractors) or in regulated industries where you might have environmental compliance or similar.
I bought the first AMD Framework 13 at launch. It just works and I’d buy it again.
To me their software story is compelling. To use the wording of the article, I like that I can be a weirdo running Linux on a laptop and not be a fringe use case. I had no interest in either of their supported distros but their support forums had the necessary hints needed to get a different distro up and running (plugging in newer firmware from the Linux kernel git).
I like that they’ve given some support to the FreeBSD community and I’d like to run that on a future Framework.

Not only has he tanked the brand, he thinks he deserves $56B for his efforts. And if he doesn’t get it, he might reallocate his attention elsewhere lololol.
Do you feel an injustice has been perpetrated against you? The Canadian attitude towards admission vis a vis DUI convictions predates the first Trump administration by a lot.
OTOH Victoria schoolchildren used to do cross border field trips. They ended the practice during the Trump Muslim ban to avoid trauma to kids.
You could be right. There are stories about Trump voters being hurt by his cuts and still feel
it’s for the greater good.
On the other hand some of these elections are won by narrow margins. Most Trump voters didn’t sign up for pain (not personally, they only voted to harm others). Pain may influence their votes in the future or motivate their legislators to contain the executive branch.
Canada’s largest newspaper published an opinion piece [0] calling for the cancellation of F-35 purchases. The article calls out source code availability in its argument.

I’ve canceled Amazon Prime free trials a couple times. Never noticed any difference in shipping speed with Prime so paying for it never made sense. Perhaps it varies by location (I’m not in a major center).
My reaction to this comment is surely Canada or Mexico is the greatest ally of the USA. But, indeed, that may no longer be true under Trump.

Yikes – this GenXer remembers being told the tools found in my account were grounds for expulsion but the meeting ended with employment.
Agree. Helped me (a software guy) when I needed it. Automatic upvote.
Technical debt has become a meaningless term.
I just migrated my playlists from Spotify to Apple Music. Cobbling together the scripts to do that (without paying a third party service) was hard.
I assume it’s intentional.
Is the Pi 500 fanless? Do I read that correctly?
Long time fan I watched this video before it was struck and there was no infringement in the video unless opening a device and showing the inside constitutes infringement. Bad job YouTube.
For sure. In my experience there are two places I can go in Victoria and be guaranteed to find rats—one is the harbour.
