The whole community and ecosystem is full of shady dishonest businesses and practices it seems. Besides all the recent drama as an end user and plugin buyer I have had to ask for 2 separate refunds from major plugins for shady dark pattern re-bills or secret upsells. I used to not consider myself a mark but maybe I am 42 now so I am starting to miss the real opt out buttons (4 pages deep below the fold). Anyways I don't like being in any ecosystem that is full of this stuff and not worth my time to manage all of it.

If you are a 19 year old Canadian who is priced out of everything and is in a line at the local movie theater 100 long with desperate foreign students trying to get your first job you're going to feel cheated and pissed off.

If you are a 37 yo millennial who still doesn't own a house, can't afford to have kids moving back into the shitty style of apartment you lived in your early 20's but now it costs $2700 a month, you are going to be fucking pissed off.

If you are a new parent waiting 9 hours overnight in an packed emergency room, you are going to feel pissed off.

It is hard to tell Canadians this is good for them when everything has gotten worse.

We just use a headless chrome with a sort of wrapper script to do this at my work with a bunch of settings close to the actual size of paper. It allows me to test all of our reports in media->print in dev tools then print->pdf with chrome and only have to design to that spec. Then in our reports we provide a "save as pdf" button instead of encouraging print in all the other possible browsers which would make the task insane and cause me to possibly quit.

Do we think an amazon owned iRobot wasn't going to use the computer vision to catalogue all the shit I owned in my house and suggest things I am missing lol...

Thank you! This makes me feel good. He is going for the stem cell viability test in January, at Vancouver General after some chemo so fingers crossed. He heard a story of a friend of a friend who has lived so far 7 years so it gave him hope, initial diagnoses was very scary.

I read this article yesterday, helped me a bit. My 62yo father was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma when a vertebrate in his back basically disintegrated. Spent his whole life as a fine finishing carpenter. When he was in his 20s he just wore flimsy paper masks, and I don't know if ever wore gloves when using stains and lacquers.

We always joked he was going to get something from the chemicals, not so funny now that it hit.

Got in trouble using this in grade 9 for doing sexy lady swipes while filming people walking the school hallway and writing nicknames under them while the feed went into every classroom.

I mean good luck but the YIMBY movement is a very pro investor movement.

Decrepit old SFH selling for $1.6 million turned into a 4 plex here in Vancouver would see each unit in the 4 plex selling for $1.4+ million (maybe $1.1 for the basement suite). Friend bought in a converted old place 780 sqft attic suite $940k. It doesn't really make stuff affordable.

It was sold here as "the missing middle" and they basically dragged a mouse over huge washes of neighbourhoods like SimCity and said you could do 5 unit conversions. Fixer-upper SFH become gut out conversion SFH and are priced based on the investment of the 5plex conversion and what those can be sold for.

Movie company marketing for blockbusters 100% revolves around controlling a fandom that will review bomb things while a lot of the general public won't even participate in a RT audience score or IMDB rating.

It is full loopholes like people with 10 year visas, work visas, student visas are exempt. We have University students with $31million Vancouver mansions in their name. Our tax system is screwy where we have very low property taxes and high employment tax. The whole west side of Vancouver claims poverty level incomes on average (like qualifies for government tax rebates bad), yet it is the most expensive land in the country.

Astronaut families are a problem and I feel leach on the society. Paying very low taxes, using all the social services, yet making income outside of the country so not paying anything.

I agree, I was a big namecheap user but now it is a dark pattern trap to trick people into addons. Just changing your DNS is a confusing jumble.

$16/hr for a skilled trade welder position at a company that posts on this website? You Americans need a $15 minimum wage lol.

It is actually so much work and costs a lot to produce an online course. After you have a lot of content is it not better try and sell the content you have, and then offload the creation workload udemy style, especially with coding courses since there are so many remote work people in this space.

From my understanding (I could be wrong) and why I have to follow all these rules here in Canada, is the USA made a homeland security law in like 2007 that said law enforcement can have access to any foreign individuals data without a warrant/good reason.

So now when picking services I am not allowed to host on any non Canadian servers if we are hosting personal information about staff/users etc. It can be a simple event registration system, survey, or just having to be really careful when using cloud services. I even have to watch out when sharing a innocuous file over Slack.

This really sucked when stuff was moving over to cloud and we wanted to use a lot of hot new stuff, but most providers get it now and provide Canadian servers so not as bad finding compliant vendors.
