  • What if they don't want that multi step process?

    Hard thing, but what are a few steps to avoiding AI spam results?

    There's nothing inherent to this proposal that avoids spam or SEO. You describe it as a "moderation issue" and then mark it as out of scope.

    If avoiding AI spam or SEO sites is a feature of this proposal, then it should be addressed directly.

  • no one can index exponential amounts of data, nevermind the predatory SEO and AI.

    Google is. The NSA almost undoubtedly is. A bunch of other governments are. AI companies probably are. Meta probably is.

    When a user wants to search something up, they first search for a topic in web-rings, and then they select that web-ring.

    From a usability perspective, that doesn't feel great. How does a user find the first web ring search engine? What if they don't want that multi step process? How do users avoid predatory web rings that are trying to sell them stuff? How does this compete with existing search?

  • Unidentified sources who spoke to BI claimed Microsoft would likely backfill the jobs cut this month, meaning there wouldn't be much of a reduction in overall headcount. Microsoft confirmed this to be the case.

    This sounds more like a mass firing than layoffs, but I guess that's semantics.

  • What would you even do? Read a book, ...? What’s the difference between at home and in a public space with people?

    I went on a few dates with a woman who saw me reading a book in public and started a conversation. I'm not a social person, but talking to strangers is nice, from time to time.

    We're social animals. Most of us benefit from interaction. Society is better when we interact with people outside our normal bubbles.

  • That's exactly what they'll do - it doesn't matter how capable he is, it matters how he's perceived.

    The current batch of Conservatives are effective communicators, so it'll be tough for whoever wins the Liberal leadership.

  • Canadian officials have reacted to cost increases [due to consulting fees, poor design/construction practices] by shrinking transit projects to make them cheaper, rather than by tackling the reasons for price inflation. “If construction costs can be meaningfully reduced, more ambitious projects with greater benefit and larger scope can be built at lower costs,”

    This seems like a common problem with Canadian politicians: rather than addressing problems and working towards a long term vision, sweep the problem under the rug.

    There’s also been so little transit built in the last generation in Canada that governments have lost the knowledge needed to oversee a project, even one built by the private sector.

    This one is huge. Instead of constantly building new lines as we do with roads, we have massive one-offs.

    And then the article talks about public-private-partnerships (P3s).

  • Make speech from the throne, then get immediately ass blasted from every direction until the government falls. It's a suicide mission.

    And then it's 35 days of curb stomps from the expected winner.

    I'm betting that anyone who wants a career past 2029 will sit this one out.

  • The Conservatives successfully painted Ignatieff as a member of the elite who was out of touch with Canadians (because he'd spent time abroad). Additionally, Ignatieff hadn't held elected positions, so he didn't have political experience.

    Carney appears prone to the same issues.
