Canadian woman living in U.S. dies after fears of detention prevented her from seeking medical care

And Canadian troops are the cause of several portions of the Geneva convention.

We have plenty of blood on our hands, as do any colony people.

Even to this day, twilight drop offs are still being done by the RCMP.

That says nothing about the current regime in the US contiuing to do unspeakable horrors in addition to just about everything Canada has also done.

Two peoe can be bad, and one still demonstrably worse.

I say this as a trans person that has some (flimsy) rights and protections here.

If you want to compare the two, tell the whole truth about both.

Last place I worked at that abused used .Net was serving an angular web app to interface with a c++ BE using soap.

Now that sounds sane, until they made their own C++ to CSS transpiler to be able define the ui in back end code. Like angular written in c++ translated through .Net.

Through no fault of .Net I just can't get past those flashbacks.

To be fair that's only like top 5 most fucked up code I saw there.

Amazon employee sues, alleging company failed to protect her after she reported rape by senior manager

Reply in thread

Your gonna look at their response... Saying that she can't even talk about it tonwarn others, and still think they did right?

Two days is enough to run an investigation like that? 48 hours and nothing?

Yeah, they fucked up here by not providing a safe workplace for her.

Edit: let's assume for a moment its fake. Why would you let that person return to work?

Canada has some undersea cables along Hudson's Bay. This is an extremely remote area with an incredibly low population... what is the purpose of these cables

Reply in thread

It connects to those cables you saw. Then to the wider internet.

Wireless is hilariously power inefficient. You'd need massive cell towers everywhere with unlimited data, that are still connected to cables at the tower.

At a certain point its cheaper to lay a smaller power cable, and an internet cable, than a massive power cable to do point to point wireless.

One is referred to as part of a whole 'Russian spys'.

Where a troll is an individual.

This is how I, and clearly many others, read your sentence. There is no one 'correct' way, but thats how I read it. It all depends on how you read that adjective

don’t pretend internet anonymity is an unalloyed good. fuck, just look at the bot farms for a less rapey problem of enormous magnitude.

And how is a central (read hackable jackpot) on internet identity better?

Not specifically I'd verification, but what do you propose for internet identity? Because any collection you make for it, is gonna be hacked eventually, and be a gold mine for the first that does.
