Yardy Sardley@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•‘We have all the cards’: Trump ending all trade talks with Canada ‘immediately’ over digital services tax - CTV News39·1 month agoTime to axe the section of our law that mirrors DMCA 1201 (the anti circumvention section). We were forced to put it in place to maintain tariff-free trade with the US, but I don’t see a reason to keep it in place anymore.
US tech oligarch would sure hold a lot fewer cards if that happened.
I think I have to disagree on this one. Whether or not you believed it would work is irrelevant. The malicious intent is what matters here. You happened to find a supernaturally accursed notebook titled “Death Note” and you decide to write someone’s name in it? That already crosses the moral line imo, independent of any actual effects.
Counterarguments welcome.
Yardy Sardley@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats a better name for 'graphics cards' that describes the kind of computational work it does9·1 month agoGPUs are specialized to be able to very quickly manipulate vectors, by using a principle called Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD). Where a CPU would have to individually operate on each element of a vector, a GPU can operate on all the elements in one go.
So maybe you could call it a SIMD card or Vector Accelerator or something like that.

when a regular minus-dash would get the point across with a single keystroke. But there is enough of a distinction that some people (like you and I) will use the proper punctuation when there is an opportunity to do so.What I find far more suspicious is the unicode hyphen, because no human would be able to tell the difference, and would therefore always choose to input a minus.

Better idea. Don’t do that. Tell the fringe extremists to kick bricks, set the UCP on fire, and let the rest of us have 4 years of actual prosperity under the NDP.

Yardy Sardley@lemmy.cato Fairvote Canada@lemmy.ca•What about the voting within the two chambers?5·3 months agoIt would be exceedingly rare for one party to get enough votes to form a majority under PR.
But beyond that, we have the non-partisan senate, the governor general, and the Charter (via the judicial branch) to all act as obstacles to unjust legislation. Canada is no stranger to majority governments under our current system, and the checks 'n balances have worked pretty well so far, for the most part.
Barring a trump-style lunatic jacking up the executive branch (which can absolutely happen, that’s something us citizens have to be careful not to vote for), PR should make it slightly harder for tyranny of the majority to happen. Take a look at New Zealand in 1996 for a relatively recent example of PR adoption and how their voting patterns have changed after the switch.

Yardy Sardley@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Doug Ford asks Mark Carney to prioritize 'nation-building' Highway 401 tunnel8·3 months agoJesus christ. Ford’s idea of a “nation building project” is a half-baked scheme to hide some of Toronto’s traffic underground.
If Carney treats that as a serious proposition, he might as well give the western separatists what they want, too.
I’d like to add that batteries might only last 3 years if you live in a cold climate.
