I would argue if the NDP played their cards better they cooks have been the one people rallied behind.

But they didn’t and running Singh was a one of the worst political moves by a party in Canada in my lifetime.

We wouldn’t be in this situation if the NDP had chosen a remotely popular leader.

When people see and think they have no chance and won’t improve their lives the NDP gets crushed like they just did.

Just like how the LPC went from potentially one of the worst election outcomes in history to a miraculous win by having Trudeau resign, the NDP could have used that exact same time to choose a new leader themselves. A Charlie Angus type (rural, working class background, outspoken and direct, and healthy honest patriotism/pride in Canada) would have been an excellent candidate to actually call in working class Canadians to the NDP fold again.

And as an Ontarian, our provincial parties have been doing a terrible job campaigning against Ford, which has let them have successive majorities.

It’s really not a two party situation, it’s been years of watching the federal and provincial NDP constantly fumble a d miss opportunities.

I hope for nothing but the worst for this person.

That is just vile.

If possible convert those files to compressed parquet, and apply sorting and partitioning to them.

I’ve gotten 10-100gb csv files down to 300mb-5gb sizes just by doing that

That makes searching and scanning so much faster, and you can do this all with open source free software like polars and ibis.

Definitely agree with you

From my experience most companies enshitify before the IPO to juice the metrics and boost their valuations (I.e. their payout).

The fact that they aren’t doing that yet that is a positive sign.

But founders aren’t immune to suffering from billionaire brain rot and years of exposure to the constant sycophancy and wealth seems to turn nearly everyone into a greed driven money soulless vampire.

It’s not a short term thing, but I’m glad progress with new partners is accelerating so much so quickly

Just for once Ottawa let’s violate protocol.

I hate that every product has added “for AI” to their name and homepage.

I guess the investor are asking for it, but as a customer I can’t tell what products actually work for my use case anymore.

Basically a Zuckerberg read or watched Ready Player One and decided he wanted to own that.

They have put a ridiculous amount of R&D into it at this point but the whole metaverse idea doesn’t actually enable anything new or better than the existing paradigms.

I’ve got family who got caught up in this, hopefully they catch whoever is out there wasting everyone’s time like this.

Glad there was no serious threats

Visually this is gorgeous

Really nice work!

In the words of Sarah Lynn: 🖕 Suck a dick dumb shits! 🖕

Seriously, you spend a couple years pushing away your customers, then you spend a few months pushing away the edgy morons you thought you could attract, and what do you expect to happen?

Once you do this, you can never ever unpollute your water table.

Oh but hey, “technology” in the future will solve this!

We’ve been hearing that about climate change for decades at this point, why suffer now when maybe we can force future generations to shit out a technological diamond or suffer for us!

Material science is good but not magic, at some point we need to acknowledge addressing the sources of problems which were can totally address today is better than being on someone else using magic.

The question on this type of cloud seeding is probably not “can you” but “how much cancer and other issues will this give us”

Thank you, I’ve been meaning to download this app and now i I have

This looks great.

Lord knows I have to make enough mermaid renderings of these UML diagrams.

Will be giving it a try

Kind of ridiculous to claim there are additional damages… you thought you were winning a boat for a couple hours, theres no additional damage.

It’s also not reasonable to make Tim’s give out over $27 billion worth of boats because someone fucked up an email send script.

But this is yet another reason why digital roll up and Tim’s can get fucked.

The prize evaluation method is stupid and gameable, the selling of our real time location data through the app should have resulted in jail time, and stuff like this just proves you should never use their apps.

Yeah there’s definitely a big picture

I just can’t take anything the current US admin says as serious, so when they say they’ll walk away I would want to call that bluff.

Not happy with this at all

For all the US’s rhetoric about trade deficits being bad, we need to say we don’t want a trade deficit on digital services and we’re using tariffs the same way they are.

We aren’t unique in having a tax like this, and the US has no place saying it’s unfair when it’s not even only foreign companies paying. We’re literally don’t the opposite of a tarif today.

Plus the US government is subsidizing their tech companies especially in the AI space.

Passwords are one I happily pay for someone else to worry about

That’s about my most valuable digital data
