  • Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services tax

    Jump

  • The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary. We depend on US content so much you couldn't possibly function on the internet without it. It'll force the US to limit services so we'll be forced to use Chinese or European services and for what benefit? I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

  • I always thought he DST was stupid so to me this is nothing more than placating Trump.

  • Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted

  • Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works

  • using AWS

    Jump

  • It's actually difficult. You can set a budget so AWS will alert you when you hit it.

    They have a price calculator that'll calculate costs before you do anything.

    Inbound Internet is free. Only outboard costs you anything.

    Network transfers between VPC's using private links are free.

    AWS accounts are free.

    Lambda functions are ultra cheap as you only pay for the time you use it.

    S3 is object storage with 11 9's of uptime and it's cheaper than any enterprise NAS.

    Basically you'd have to setup something wrong and ignore it for weeks to incur a large bill.

  • Voicemail should be banned

  • Until someone sends you a voice to text message. Like fuck that.

  • Canada to expedite nation building projects to counter Trump

    Jump

  • Perhaps we should work with FN instead of trying to ram through projects without them? That's what Harper did and what Poilievre would do. My company has built pipelines with FN approval and it's gone very smoothly.

  • EV owners... What is your opinion?

  • 2024 Tesla Model S Long Range. Love the 600km range in summer. Love the Supercharger network and how the computer in the car knows where they are and includes it in my trip planner. Superchargers themselves don't ask for payment, you just plug in and everything works. Love the power and how silent it is. Love how cheap it is to maintain and operate. I honestly don't mind the touchscreen. It's super fast (Ryzen CPU) and once you get used to it, you barely need to use it while driving. Charging at home is super easy and cheap. I only ever visit a gas station for car washes and it's a great feeling to never have to worry about fueling up.

    The only downside is the up-front cost for the car and for a home charger. Yes, Elon is another downside but I've heard that Tesla is looking for a new CEO and he only owns 12% of Tesla stock so much less important than people give him credit for.

    If not going with Tesla, I would have chosen a Polestar or a Rivian but I've not driven either because there are no local service centers here which affected my decision.

  • Joe Rogan needs to stop talking about Canadian politics

    Jump

  • She's so hot.

    Joe Rogan is what dumb people think what smart people sound like. He's just a moron though and offers nothing.

  • VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom

    Jump

  • I really want to use Nutanix but they are the same price as VMware VCF and they don't support my existing hardware so I'd have to buy all new servers, just to pay the same price.

  • He probably thinks it's actually green.

  • Conservatives Will Blow It by Keeping Poilievre

    Jump

  • I think it had more to do with Trudeau being PM for almost 10 years and people were looking for change. If he stuck around, Liberals would potentially be third place. Because the Liberals found someone much better than Trudeau, it made Pierre even less likeable and he was either unable or unwilling to be more moderate to steal votes from other parties. Even in the last week, Pierre was talking about ending 'wokeism' and removing the ban on plastic straws. Those 2 issues aren't issues more Canadians care about so why even mention it? He needed to appear more centrist which is where Carney is.

    If the CPC can find a relatable leader that doesn't court the extreme-right in Canada, they have a great chance of forming government. That's a big if.

  • McDonald’s Blames Trump ‘Uncertainty’ for Worst Sales Since COVID

  • Perhaps that's a local problem as I've never had to wait more than 5m for a drive through.

  • Tesla, $TSLA, Board of Directors have just reportedly opened a search for a CEO to succeed Elon Musk

    Jump

  • Only if you really want it to be different is it different. The reality is, it's not. Words have meaning and 1/8th is not enormous. It's literally a small fraction of the total.

  • Tesla, $TSLA, Board of Directors have just reportedly opened a search for a CEO to succeed Elon Musk

    Jump

  • That's the opposite experience I've had. My Tesla has been flawless. Zero panel gaps, zero problems and it's a blast to drive while being whisper quiet and ultra-cheap to maintain and drive. The supervised Full Self Driving is nothing short of impressive as it will signal, lane change, stop, merge and yield better than 95% of drivers out there. The Tesla supercharger network is the icing on the cake. They're everywhere, they're fast and trouble-free. The only real problem with Tesla is Elon himself. He's such a fucking loser it's annoying to be tied to him but I just think of all the good Tesla engineers and employees and I just don't care who the CEO is anymore. People hate Jeff Bezos but they still use Amazon and people never liked Bill Gates or Steve Jobs but Microsoft and Apple are ultra popular. Now it seems Tesla will boot him as CEO and ideally buy him out. That would be ideal.

  • Nope. I don't waste my time when I know the person I'm replying to is so wrong on so many levels. It's like trying to argue with a flat earther or an anti-vaxxer. They're beyond help.

  • I don't know what the threshold would be.. but it would have to be over 50%. If I own 13% of my house, I wouldn't say I own an enormous amount. I would I own 1/8th my house, which is pretty meagre.

  • The Conservative civil war is in full swing

    Jump

  • Tribalism. Rachel Notley did great things in Alberta but she was not Conservative so everything she did was labelled bad. Trudeau pays $4B for a pipeline in AB and they still say Trudeau is anti-oil.. You just can't win with Conservatives.

  • There's far too much misinformation in your post to bother. You clearly know very little about EV's and how they work.
