  • There is only one escape from the affordability crisis

    Jump

  • This is a load of crap, putting today's unaffordability issues at the feet of the workers. The real problem is that all profit from improved productivity is going up to the top.

    If our productivity did match the G7 average, do you actually think that it would have gone to higher wages and better conditions for workers? Of course not.

  • Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

    Jump

  • There's also the issue that around once a year the two planets will be on opposite sides of the sun. Not only would you have a lag of close to 3 hours, but communication would be completely impossible for a month or so at a time.

    U.S. hockey star Hilary Knight delivers joke on SNL featuring women's, men's Olympic champions

    Jump

  • Not only that, but saying that they delivered a joke but never even saying what the joke was about makes this a complete waste of time.

  • Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

    Jump

  • Yes, but the two-and-a-half hour lag each way would be a killer.

  • Simple inexpensive cloud backup?

    Jump

  • You could check out FolderFort. Sometimes they have lifetime pricing. I paid something like $170 for 3TB lifetime.

    They have SFTP access in beta.

  • Disgraced Andrew insists royal staff call him 'sir' and fetch beer

    Jump

  • Not to mention that the current royal family was originally named Saxe-Coburg, changing it to a more palatable "Windsor" during the first World war (which was fought against subjects of the German Kaiser, who was a cousin of the British king).

  • Disgraced Andrew insists royal staff call him 'sir' and fetch beer

    Jump

  • I heard a very interesting argument that if the Royal family can remove Andrew from the line of succession, then the line itself can be manipulated, and anyone else could be added. In that case, what is the point of having a royal family?

  • Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks

    Jump

  • There's no chance that I would travel to Qatar or Russia, but living in Canada there's a good chance I would have traveled to the US (I've probably gone there between 5 and 10 times in my life).

    Now there is little chance that I will visit the US in the foreseeable future.

  • Hydro-Quebec wants to double electricity rates for energy-hungry data centres

    Jump

  • I don't understand what you're saying. Hydro Quebec pays royalties of $2-3 billion per year to the Government of Quebec.

    Or do you mean that the government of Quebec subsidizes electricity consumers?

  • What is your favorite quote, proverb, or piece of wisdom?

    Jump

  • People are bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

    • Dr. Kelso from Scrubs (original series)

  • Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks

    Jump

  • As a Canadian, there is a small but nonzero chance that I would go to an event in the US, in normal times. These are not normal times, and I will not set foot in the country.

    That is the difference between Qatar, Russia, and the US.

  • Dolphin Emulator - Rise of the Triforce

    Jump

  • I've been a developer for 25 years, and I enjoy reading the Dolphin blog. It reminds me that there are people out there who are incredibly dedicated, brilliant, and happy to solve technical problems just for the joy of it.

    The length they go to to recreate even hardware bugs fills me with awe.

    Even though the blog is filled with highly technical discussion, it is written clearly and excessively. I absolutely recommend it.

  • I (white) and dating a girl who is black what are some things I should know to grow the relationship?

    Jump

  • I'd love to ask Scrubs, but you have linked to some shitty advertising video. It doesn't even continue on to the real video.

  • Canada kicked Nazi ass o7

    Jump

  • Except that this time we won't have to cross an ocean to get to the Nazis.

  • Canada kicked Nazi ass o7

    Jump

  • It may be because the Canadians were well known in both wars for not taking prisoners. That's not true in every engagement, of course, but in Normandy, after a number of Canadian soldiers were taken prisoner and then executed, their comrades would execute any Germans they captured.

  • Canada kicked Nazi ass o7

    Jump

  • You probably also don't know that the country with the most volunteer soldiers in World War II was India, than 2 million men.

    Or that both Canada and New Zealand had mutinies where men refused to go overseas to fight.

    There's a lot of fascinating stuff. I recommend the podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, for an informative and entertaining look at almost every facet of the war. They are up to something like episode #800 now.

  • Autopsy of Canadian in ICE custody indicates his death was preventable, experts say

    Jump

  • A Homegrown Cloud: Bell and SAP Double Down on Canada’s Digital Sovereignty

    Jump

  • I guess one positive thing is that I have never heard of sap delivering anything on time or on budget, so there is probably plenty of time for a decent competitor to grab market share

  • Best way to pirate WordPress plugins

    Jump

  • You might want to look at something like Drupal as an alternative to WordPress. Drupal tends toward a lot more open source for its plugins (which they call modules). As a developer myself, I also find it better engineered than WordPress, although maybe that's just because I used Drupal more.
