To make it more educational make it interact with the system and the user . For example I would have the program to show a list of real files from the os and prompt the hacker to delete it or not.

It is a social issue. People being incapable of taking care of themselves is inevitable. All civilizations had these issues. Families, churches and general generosity of neighbors have always been used to mitigate this.

Now with the wealth gap increasing and the individualistic philosophy in our society with not noticing and tending to these early on. We only notice once the person is a full blown junkie. Many needed help for a a short moment in life and could of become autonomous after, many are both permanently incapable of autonomy. Either way society have to deal with them. We have enough resources! For the price of just one of those opulent pick up we could probably shelter one person for 2-5 years.

That’s your experience.

I have worked in very reputable places and none of that tip would reach the cooks. If we were lucky they would pay us a beer at the club later. I think it’s regional though. I know in Quebec waiters won’t share because the government assume they get 15% tip from everything bill and taxes them accordingly.

In my neighborhood for a while someone (probably a group of people) were sticking vulva drawings everywhere. Building walls, lamp post, mail box, etc. They were all unique and hand drawn too.

In defense of the Montreal rem it had to share a the highway bridge that crosses the saint Lawrence River. It’s a long bridge that’s high enough to let fret ships to go under so very expensive. The only reason the rem crosses the river is because the population insisted on adding rails to the bridge when they prematurely had to rebuild it (because car traffic was unexpectedly high and the bridge was not built to withstand such a load). Also the city portion connects directly to a popular metro station and a long distance passenger train station.

I feel like Inflation is not hitting me as much as my suburban friends. They keep complaining about the big grocery store chain collusion (they got caught increasing bread prices a few years back).

Where I live there’s line 3 mom&pop produce/pastry/butcher between me and the big chain grocery store. My big chain grocery store is cheaper then other store of the same franchise.

We built huge expensive highway sso huge corps could build mega stores that killed all the locally owned stores. Now they so what they want.

That’s a new copy pasta

Wouldn’t it be a pleonasm? Tautology is more about the logic realm, specifically about repeating an argument or a statement as it they were different. Here “inaccurate factoid” is merely inaccurate vocabulary.

Early this year forest fire fighters in Alberta were complaining that new houses have so much plastic in them that they were combusting and consumed in like 5 minutes making saving them impossible and slowing the fire’s spread harder.

I’m having a hard time finding the quote. I found this explaining houses burn faster now than before because of plastic https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/modern-homes-burn-8-times-faster-than-50-years-ago-1.1700063

Considering the ridiculous heat of those forest fires 5 minutes is believable

I miss working in PHP. Sadly there’s less use cases for it today (at least relatively to my personal situation)

The entire game story is a reflexion on cast/class in society albeit set in a medieval feudal world where nobles wage a war that brings suffering to the peasents who thus starts a revolution

It’s “Final Fantasy Tactic”. I’m currently playing the android port and played the original PS1 one a lot. It’s in my top 5 favorite game for sure

I didn’t really follow up on it. Maybe it was just politician saying stuff or it’s banned but not enforced so nobody cares

What’s the name of that safer alternative?

A more useful guideline would be something like: how to steer a conversation to be constructive for both parties.

I couldn’t get chatgpt to make this into a spectrum like in the pyramid but if you invert the order of the negative impact section and concatenate it after the positive liste you get the text for that pyramid. It does make sense though

Positive Impact:

1. Collaborative problem-solving
2. Active listening and empathy
3. Finding common ground
4. Constructive feedback
5. Open-ended questions
6. Positive tone and inclusive language
7. Clarifying and paraphrasing
8. “I” statements
9. Avoiding defensiveness and judgment
10. Seeking solutions together

Negative Impact:

11. Interrupting or talking over the other person
12. Dismissing or invalidating the other person’s perspective
13. Using aggressive or confrontational language
14. Making personal attacks or insults
15. Ignoring or belittling the other person’s feelings
16. Dominating the conversation and not allowing equal participation
17. Stonewalling or refusing to engage in discussion
18. Manipulating or twisting the other person’s words
19. Engaging in passive-aggressive behavior
20. Refusing to consider alternative viewpoints

There’s also the more potent: “you are right”. Although it has many draw backs

In Montreal an Airbnb cought fire and killed 6 guests and one tenant because the owner converted a house to multiple Airbnb ignoring all regulation (including fire marshal rules)

English article: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-old-port-fire-1.6788756

The province ended up banning Airbnbs but I don’t know the details of the bag

Not that long ago, in Montreal, someone manage to hit a school crossing guard… Also around the same time a kid Ukrainian refugy died from a car collision in a school zone…

Here the majority of citizen wants speed bumps and chicanes to slow down cars. The main opposition comes from firemens (chicanes because their firetrucks are huge and speed bumps because it slows them down and I think smaller truck would have to be imported from Europe and would be expensive) and plowing operations (in Montreal every street gets plowed ~1/week for 3 months a year). It’s very legitimate reason. I which a good solution came up

“Google is in every part of this value chain. As we see it they hold a dominant position in both the sell side and the buy side in order to favor their own ad exchange,”

I have seen ad tech middlemens that ~75% of the ads they “buy” come from Google dv360 and ~75% of all ads they sell was to Google ad manager.

The only close competition to Google is Facebook and Amazon mostly because they have their own closed garden big enough to sustain ad exchange. On the open web (random apps and websites) it’s all Google.
