  • If they didn't give out tax credits then they would receive that amount in taxes. From the government's point of view tax credits are a reduction in revenue.

    I don't think 10% fewer tax credits would have made the difference of the factory being built or not. VW has plenty of money to pay taxes.

  • Maybe instead of giving away tax credits, they should use those taxes to improve Canada Post...

  • Community mailboxes are almost always a block away or less. Everywhere I've lived in the last 10 years I've just had to cross the street to check the mail. There's no 15 minute walk...

    If you're used to having your mail right at your door, then having to go check it is a little extra hassle, but really not terrible. I check mine like once or twice a week.

    Maybe Canada Post could implement something like USPS has: They'll send you an email summary of pictures of the mail arriving each day.

  • I'm pretty sure Hindenburg would have been able to land somewhere instead of crashing out of the air if it used Helium. The surface catching fire wouldn't spread nearly as quickly as the cells exploding with hydrogen gas. I'm not sure what material the cells were made out of, but I doubt it burns like flash paper.

  • This was quite a while ago now, but I don't think my shell escaped the tab complete properly, I remember it just printing a literal newline and evaluating it as a second command. I think there was other unicode in there too, otherwise I would have just typed it out. I had to do something with null terminated output and piping it in to mv, but I can't remember what exactly.

  • I once accidentally created a file with a newline character in it... it was pretty tricky to fix from command line.

  • 35th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize

    What? You can't have 35 "First" annual events

  • $60k a year is not enough to live comfortably in most of the cities with tech hubs. Rent alone would be 60+% of your paycheck, plus utilities and a car to get to work, you might be going hungry.

  • All the terrible touch features they're adding to cars these days makes me think a brand new car today would go obsolete before a 10 year old used car with 100k miles. New cars are unrepairable because of how complicated they are.

  • Even the $3000 Samsung TVs have ads if you connect them to the Internet. Noone is safe

  • An image is a quantization of reality. An image alone is biometric data if it's a picture of a face, fingerprint, or any other identifiable feature of a person.

  • Usually the opposite is true when gutters are this clogged. They turn into a swamp.

  • I think DUIs are quite high there, but I can't really find any clear stats about it. From what I remember it's kind of a problem across all of the prairies.

  • I've got a 9700X and it absolutely rips at only 65W

  • The trusted 3rd party in this case is actually multiple 3rd parties. There's several options for trusted timestamping just like there's multiple trusted root CAs for SSL. Since the timestamping service is free and public, anyone can use it to sign anything, even self-signed certificates. There's no mechanism to deny access, at least for this portion.

    There's always a risk the root CAs all collude and refuse to give out certificates to people they don't like, but at least so far this hasn't been a problem. I don't have a better solution unfortunately. If we could have a 100% decentralized signing scheme that would be ideal, but I have no idea how you would build such a thing without identity verification and some inherit trust in the system

  • Code signing certificates work a little differently than SSL certificates. A timestamp is included in the signature so the certificate only needs to be valid at the time of signing. The executable will remain valid forever, even if the certificate later expires. (This is how it works on Windows)

  • On linux it's just called running an executable

    Edit: As a less snarky answer, you can run Android apps natively on linux by installing Android OS in a container using something like Anbox Waydroid.
