Settlements and NDAs seem to be a lot more commonplace in the USA based on reports. Surely because money is involved, that makes it voluntary, right?

And while yes, settlements usually don’t prevent people to write a book or whatever, but you are silenced in the sense you are prevented from pursuing any further justice in the legal system for any potential future victims caught by the same mishap.

This article smells of AI slop, but I’d seen an earlier article on CBC already, so whatever.

At least a review will happen to hopefully prevent this miscarriage of justice from happening again. Comparing the US system to Canada’s, the innocent victim might get compensated in some monetary way, but in return they won’t be allowed to talk about it, no party will admit they did anything wrong and a similar incident may easily happen again.

“Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth is one of the greatest-of-all-time at achieving diplomatic ends using military means…for his adversaries…

If your resumé would be light in experiences, especially if you are young, then you can expand on your “skills” section. In resumés/CVs and later possibly in interviews, show some of the kinds of problems you solved and the technologies you used to solve them. Start thinking about any communication issues you might have had with your friends and classmates, sometimes online strangers, and remember how that got resolved so you can talk about it.

I guess when compared to FAANG/Silicon Valley salaries you are probably right.

Very few people need to code in assembly, or COBOL

But those who do are paid the big bux, that’s for sure. Many big banks still have their backend off of COBOL code originally written in the 90s, only with flowery UI updates over the years.

I’ve been to MA, NY (both upstate and NYC), NJ, MI, OH, KY, TN, MS, LA, AR, TX, IL, WA, OR, CA, and AK. As a Canadian I may have travelled to more states than a good chunk of Americans.

I know some states and cities are allergic to investing in usable public transport. I know most states’ DOT staff only know how to build roads and are pretty clueless at anything else. And I know many people can’t imagine biking or bussing is for anyone other than poor people and people with too many DUIs, but I’ve seen many places where it works, some surprising, where many people live there. So yeah it’s hard for any statement about the US to apply to absolutely everyone, but I think tens of millions could make a car free or car light lifestyle work who don’t currently consider it, and that interest can translate to better attention to car alternatives from local and state authorities.

The most leverage a potential car buyer has in a negotiation is the ability to walk away. So the first step is understanding the alternatives and the potential to save a good fraction of an income from insurance, maintenance and gas costs. The more people understand that and aren’t signing car loans out of desperation, car costs would be lower for every American.

At trivia, one of the questions was: “what type of alcoholic drink is the kind of which you shouldn’t complain about the amount or quality?”

I know that people being offered $1000/mo auto loans are already in dire straits, but if you could trade that for a $1000 annual bus pass or $2000 commuter e-bike, you’d have enough to go on a dream vacation about every year and have some left over.

Trump is taxing Americans on products coming from Canada. And he’s calling Canada the nasty one?

I’ve already heard of the name before, I know them for their police body cameras. One can make an argument that Axon’s systems don’t have the same extensive and interconnected surveillance network that Flock has, but the same type of data on people’s personal lives seems to be collected for a similar end-purposes which is the problem, more than the specific brand of the tech.

Plus, what’s stopping Flock from acquiring Axon and obtaining the data that way?

Get ready to Drain AIPAC’s Funds Again

I still can’t say it wouldn’t be worth it at $1.5k for people that really wanted to get into VR… but unfortunately my price limit is $750 US for me to consider a launch day order, and obviously that ain’t happening. With component prices being what they are, it’s not realistic for me to expect any lower anymore.

But the best I can hope for is a memory crash and DRAM makers come scrambling back to fill the sinkhole void from the collapsing circular financing cycle. Today that’s just a pipe dream.

They aren’t in it for me, but Micron nor SK Hynix give any shits about me either.

I don’t think so, domestic electronics manufacturers have an enormous need for memory that is performant but doesn’t necessarily need the top-of-the-line, and probably China’s government is pushing to reduce the need for imported memory components from Korea or Taiwan as well, so demand for production is there coming from both the private and public sector.

Is it hijiki? Seems to match a least some parts of your description. It’s a traditional Japanese dish (other east Asian cultures as well), kind of sweet, uses sauce and boiled vegetables. It also has tofu in it.

Micron doesn’t seem interested in competing for consumer memory anyway, since they exited the consumer memory market. Latent demand exists for memory at not-outrageous prices so good for CXMT for filling that niche.

Witness the peak of meritocracy…

The government should ensure that the technology being pushed is on an open, interoperable standard, so that Canadian farmers can still be self-sufficient to troubleshoot many problems themselves even if more advanced tech is involved.

Double his sanctions everytime Trump’s lawyers put forward another frivolous “expedited” motion.
