That is encouraging to hear. I am curious specifically about the universal resolution feature that has been newly added. Poetry's issue is that it cannot properly resolve PyTorch's more complicated situation. I imagine Rye before this change would have used pip under the hood, so it would have worked as well as pip. I hope this still holds with the new under-the-hood changes.

Does Rye/UV with universal resolution work properly with PyTorch, or does it suffer from the same issue as Poetry?

Shaw Mobile was an MVNO. It didn't have any towers or network infra. I don't think it going to Rogers reduced competition in the market.

Canada's credit cards work on Visa, MasterCard, or Amex networks. However, debit cards work on a domestic network called Interac. About half of card transactions in Canada are debit card transactions.

EDIT: In the past few years, many Canadian banks have started issuing dual-network debit cards that bear both Visa and Interac logos (sometimes MasterCard and Interac). These cards use the Interac network in Canada, but can also be used online and abroad using the second network. I just wanted to mention it for people who may be curious about the apparent shift in debit card networks.

I understood what IR was, but due to the capitalization of the title, I thought it was written in Scratch programming language.

No, it says pickup only.

It's an official press release on the official website for the engineering regulator, so definitely not a parody. But boy, does it look like one!

> I'm in Alberta, Canada and my understanding is "Engineer" is a protected title here

Yes, but as of a couple of months ago, "software engineer" title is exempt from those regulations.

And the content is missing. All there is there is some placeholder text. /s

Due to a similar approach to privacy, I use GenuTax, which is a Windows program not a website, and does not send anything anywhere except to the tax authority. Not everyone cares about this aspect of privacy and security, but for those who do, there are options, both free (GenuTax) and paid (StudioTax, etc.).

That's why I use one of the free options. Both GenuTax and WealthsimpleTax are free to use and user-friendly, albeit in different ways. What extra thing does UFile do to justify its price?

I have a question: was the customer billed based on whatever the machine learning algorithm determined, or based on what humans decided after the fact? In other words, was the humans' job to just provide training data for future versions of the machine learning algorithm, or to manually fix the algorithm's errors and prevent over-billing?

No no, that's where Airstrip One is.

Well, the comment ends by saying "People have ... memory issues", so it checks out.

2-3% x 2 billion = 40-60 million

Canada's immigration rate is high, but not as high as 40-60 million newcomers in 5 years.

I don't know about Greece, but many countries do not extradite their own citizens to other countries, and include the provision that they can refuse extradition of their citizens in their treaties. France is one such country, hence Roman Polanski. Greece-Canada treaty has this provision too, so I suspect Greece is similar.

> The Requested State shall not be required to extradite its own nationals. Nationality shall be determined as at the time of the offence for which extradition is requested.

Billions and billions of dollars, that's why.

Really? Might as well specify that the name of the establishment has to start with "P" and end with "anera".

Canada's constitution has written and unwritten parts. The Constitution Act of 1982 (which includes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms), for example, is a written part of Canada's constitution. Changing the charter would require the procedure for constitutional change, which is rather difficult. It's not something that can be amended like a normal act of the parliament.

Curses and hexes are not prohibited by the law. If you want to damn a river, damn it. You don't even need to buy the land first.

According to the article, it was London, Ontario, Canada.

I wanted to joke that Apple should increase non-App Store fees to $1000 + 80% per app install to invest those fees into better malware protection, but I also don't want to give Apple any more ideas.

Canada's population has grown faster than the US. US is "only" 8x Canada now.

Canada: 40.8 million (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2018005...)

US: 336 million (https://www.census.gov/popclock/)

That would be 10001000 10101000 on repeat.

They made that argument about Safari, but did they win? I cannot find a news article about the outcome of the argument.

If everything that happens anywhere is securities fraud, why not this too?

> If a foreign company issues stock only abroad, never raises money in the U.S. or asks to have its stock listed here, and never files financial statements or other information in the U.S., but nonetheless (1) has an unsponsored unlisted ADR in the U.S. and (2) has some misstatements in its (totally non-U.S.) disclosure, is that securities fraud in the U.S.? Sure, of course, everything is!

There are probably planets out there parsecs away from earth, whose inhabitants are going to be so screwed when the US government shows up to collect fines for all the US laws they have violated.

What are the odds that, if Sam Altman returns to OpenAI, it would remain a non-profit? From everything that the news has covered since his departure, it seems that the board is committed to the non-profit mission, but Sam runs OpenAI like a for-profit startup company. I imagine if he returns, the board will be replaced with people who share Sam's vision and OpenAI will drop the façade of public responsibility and non-profit mission and start optimizing for money.
