No they screwed the pooch hard in the beginning. They could have bought up rights to basically everything for pennies compared to what it is worth now because of the leverage they had before any of those media publishers had options elsewhere.

Netflix was literally in the position to tell them what the price was back then and now they have nothing to bargain with because the market is saturated.

Sounds like a good time to strengthen our trade with other countries not hell bent on total self destruction.

Every time I hear something about Netflix I always wonder how it is even still running. Still wild to me that they had the entire monopoly on streaming and fucked it up anyways.

Citations needed lmao. I’m pretty sure computer vision has recognized “objects” for decades. It’s a military tool for murdering non-yts with drones, etc.

Your “pretty sure” is not worth a lot considering how clearly you displayed your ignorance in 3 sentences.

1. Search engines exist for a reason. If you search “computer vision” you will see very clearly it has not been functional, especially battle field ready, for “decades” as you claimed without citation while demanding citations.

2. “non-yts” eh? Too afraid to spell the word “white” or what?

Honestly, do a little research and maybe a little soul searching before sharing your opinions with the world. Might be more meaningful for everyone involved.

If one isn’t here legally, and making no attempt to stay here legally, I see no problem here. You came on a visa, you leave when it is up. You want to stay their is a way to do it and I do not care how hard it is. Everyone I know who immigrated here went through that system and every selfish prick trying to take the back door can get thrown back out it.

Facebook is complying with the law as written. Perhaps the bigger issue here is how badly the law is written and not Facebook’s method of compliance.

Facebook is blowing a fit because they don’t want to pay for what they use to make money. Their entire business model involves traffic to and from their site and produce nothing of value on their own.

Yes they are complying with the law as written, but it is nothing but a dick move attempting to circumvent paying money to those who are owed it.

Forcing any entity to provide a service and then taxing them for providing said service is fundamentally unjust.

No one is forcing Facebook to operate in Canada, and anyone who operates in Canada has to pay taxes. As you already pointed out they are not offering the service in Canada, as I pointed out it is because they don’t want to pay for other peoples work to make money off of it.

What is “unjust” is what Meta does on a daily basis to their users who ignorantly stay on the platform because they believe it is the only option. Which Meta attempts to maintain as a narrative along with all the other big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and the rest.

Stop defending Meta. It’s a shit company with the sole purpose of taking your information and selling it to others while adding absolutely no value to the world.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford took aim at the federal government’s billion-dollar national school food program, which promises to deliver meals to an additional 400,000 children per year.

This made me puke in my mouth a little so for some levity:

Premiers telling Ottawa to bail their provinces out while simultaneously telling the feds to fuck off should be a heritage moment.

Not sure you need the experience to judge based on the article, but I hear you. I cannot imagine the time and effort to keep those birds in the air, and it is indeed the end of an era. The snowbirds were a staple of every air show I ever went to.

To your point about what comes next, I don’t see any reason to purchase manned air craft in the current climate. Air superiority is obviously important, but the landscape is drastically changing with drones being more and more invested in. I think we should pivot our Air force to unmanned and work on something that could actually guard our arctic regions, considering Drones aren’t a fan of the cold, over getting some shiny new jets.

Lets supposed instead of real estate one fancies themself a world-renowned collector of antique radiator caps, as many of us dreamed of being when we were kids.

Two years ago you were able to acquire a radiator cap signed by Edward Jones Miscellania, a respected local automobile mechanic, for $300,000. Two years later, an appraisal places the true value at a disappointing $75,000.

Then a fellow collector offers you $150,000. Okay, now you have a choice. You can say “Don’t be ridiculous! I already have $300,000 invested in this radiator cap.”; Or you can correctly reason: What I have personally invested does not matter. The only thing I should consider is whether the $150,000 is a good price for my radiator cap.

If you opt for the second choice and pocket the $150,000, you’ve learned a key secret to life:

What you personally have invested never matters

Can I borrow your time machine for a few minutes?

Sorry to say everyone, shit is about to get violent again. It already happened in Halifax when a couple was assaulted by a group of Men. Threats are on the rise, vandalism on the rise, and violence on the rise. Not to mention the attacks on the political levels helping to drive this forward.

Pulling out and cancelling the events because the bigots are getting spicy is how they succeed in rolling back every inch gained in the last 50 years. Go to pride, be proud, and be “on your way to a baseball game”.

This cannot be tolerated, accepted, or met with pacifism.

I would very much like to see the blue print on this one. 2% is not a hard number to hit so I hope there is a real plan to reach our commitments with allies. I saw another article that was about a new arctic base purchase so the plan likely includes that which is great to see because Canada will be in a bitch of a position if we don’t get our shit together asap.

I am sure many of them have seen it and support his votes. In fact, I know many who support the “opposition for the sake of ‘owning the libs’” votes and think it is a good thing. Nothing like a right winger to cut off their nose to spite their face.

No problem at all! Be sure to use it on every single one of them when they start talking! :)

Here is his lifetime voting record without my bias or anything else involved. Just facts.

Everyone is free to interpret it as they wish.

Nothing cracks me up more than people thinking that they even need to update these acts to do the things everyone is worried about. Not withstanding clause anyone? Can literally strip you of every “right” you think you have and all property you think you own.

Is surveillance the problem? You are surveilled daily and legally because you said “I accept” to more terms and conditions than a Lawyer would be willing to read. This doesn’t include the free information you are putting on the internet daily, which is more valuable than a well placed operative long term. Then we can talk about Government agencies, which are all of them, intercepting whatever they can get. Which is again legal because you agreed to that in order to have your phone connected to the towers, and your computers connected to the internet.

"Among the controversial provisions are section 20 (1) “Every person commits an offence who, at the direction of, for the benefit of or in association with, a foreign entity or a terrorist group, induces or attempts to induce, by intimidation, threat or violence, any person to do anything or to cause anything to be done (a) that is for the purpose of increasing the capacity of a foreign entity or a terrorist group to harm Canadian interests; or (b) that is reasonably likely to harm Canadian interests.”

What is controversial about not assisting foreign entities through acts of violence and intimidation and making that a law?

If your “legitimate dissent” involves acting with, and for, foreign entities of any kind you can kindly get fucked and go set up shop in their country. You are either a useful idiot or a bad actor and Canada needs no more of either thanks.

“Are 13 year olds too young to exploit monetarily?”

Is 13 too young to work? A Saskatchewan proposal has reignited debate around kids and labour

Was it hard to quote the actual headline or is it a matter of making the narrative you are attempting to push stronger?

Reading the article helps as well.

CBC didn’t post this article to lemmy, OP did. If you care so damn much about tent cities, the homeless, and the struggles of the lower class how about you take initiative and post the articles yourself?

People are struggling, and one last time for you and your lack of empathy, One shouldn’t have to hit the bottom to be heard.

When one refuses to speak, the other is forced to make assumptions. Frankly, I don’t care if you say I am wrong. I can read, I have heard these words from others, and know who I am dealing with.

I would bet 3:1 that you have nothing serious in your past that you could prove to me. I would bet 100:1 that I could not prove my bullshit life to you and I lived it. Get the point?

I don’t think you will, so the point is, you attacked a person for being a bad example because they are struggling and not at rock bottom because people exist at the bottom.

If you had ever been there you would know better, so I stand by my assessment. Don’t bother responding, I won’t waste further time with you.

Stay well.

I’m curious, do you work in healthcare? Healthcare adjacent? Where did you acquire your expertise on the funding and operations of healthcare?

Appeal to authority to someone else. I am making a habit of avoiding speaking to people who open their comments with logical fallacy. Feel free to try again because I stopped reading here.
