The online retail store Amazon actually loses money too, the main generator of profit for Amazon is actually AWS. Every other branch of the business is about market control.

That’s why they’re trying to take power. Billionaires would rather destroy the world and drive all life to extinction than to give up their private jets and yachts.

It’s not a “community”, it’s one person making all the posts because I guess they wanted to make hating Linux their entire personality. 🤷

I hope cyclists start riding together slowly in large groups in the middle of traffic lanes such that cars can’t get around them, as they are legally entitled to do.

Yup, also American automakers get plenty of subsidies and bailouts from the government too. It was always about not wanting to make electric cars. 🤷

I find it ironic that the federal government sends out carbon tax rebate cheques and the majority of people hate it, but the provincial government sends out random cheques and the majority of people are going to eat it up.

I’d like to preemptively note that both cheques are in fact sourced from taxes. 🤷

I think you need to be more explicit about what you mean by “not dependent on time”. Setting t = 1 for that formula doesn’t eliminate time, it means you’re advancing time by 1 unit for every iteration of the formula defined by the units used to measure the velocity and acceleration (i.e. if v and u are measured in meters/second and a is meters/second^2 then t = 1 means you are modelling 1 second passing).

If you mean deterministic as in there are no outside influences, instead you’d want to take the distance the object needs to travel before it hits something in it’s current trajectory then work backward to find out how much time it would take to cover that distance at the current velocity and acceleration.

Ford on new housing regulations: We shouldn’t do anything because municipalities know best!

That team writes emulators that run directly on Nintendo consoles, so they would likely test it on development versions of those consoles the same way actual console games are developed and tested. Otherwise they would be testing a Switch version of an SNES emulator running inside a Switch emulator on a Windows PC that would introduce it’s own errors.

I personally don’t think it’s so likely that Nintendo would write and maintain a Windows emulator just for their museum if an open-source project exists that they could legally use for free under that project’s license terms. Only someone with insider knowledge would be able to say for sure though.

Emulator projects should all add a clause in their EULA that specifically forbids Nintendo from using their software, then they can sue Nintendo for breaching their license. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Robots taking my job 🥲

The fair market wage is determined by the same market forces of supply and demand. If they can’t find local workers at the wage they are offering, raise the wage until they can. If they can’t afford the wages necessary to staff their business with local employees and still make a profit, then they have failed as a business. Simple as that.

Temporary foreign workers are supposed to fill skill gaps in the economy when not enough qualified workers exist, not to supply cheap labour when employers want to improve their bottom line.

I’d also like to point out that smaller local businesses don’t have the power and money to exploit temporary foreign workers in the way corporations such as Tim Hortons can, putting them at a severe disadvantage to compete with them. These businesses still manage to survive in most markets, but would grow and thrive if the playing field was leveled. Fuck corporations, support small local businesses.

Except the governments and corporations are there because that’s where most of the people are.

Users are still so ignorant to the fact that they are actually the product that Twitter sells. Some of them even pay for that privilege. 🙄

I think taste builds up a tolerance to sweet in the same way it does for heat. I used to drink lots of soda, but I stopped drinking it completely and now when I have a sip of Coke it tastes WAY too sweet and I can barely stand it. For people who eat lots of fast and ultra-processed foods packed with added sugar, salt, and fat, they need more extremes like this shake to overcome their tolerance in the same way a person who eats lots of spicy foods gets bored with jalapenos and needs ghost peppers and Carolina reapers that would destroy most other people’s palettes.

No, see you proposed a theory, that these were not “true” Trump supporters in the picture, with zero evidence to support your theory. You’re simply making up conspiracies and shifting the burden of proof to be edgy.

Try this one: How do you know Trump is human and not actually an alien sent from Alpha Centauri to take over Earth for colonization by assuming one of the most powerful positions? Give me irrefutable proof or I’m right because of “critical thinking”.

The cynic in me believes that the Republicans calling for Biden to have a drug test before the debate was good old projection, and Trump was the one who was actually hopped up on drugs. Can’t ride that pharmaceutical train all the time though.

Advertisers believe they are doing you a favour by using personal information to serve “better” ads that would be more “interesting” to you.

Or this is an analytics database where these are well-defined dimensions added for segmentation logic. 🤷
