Yep. In theory OVH are already pre-approved, at least for Quebec government projects, but I'm not aware of any projects using them (not that I'd know, I work mostly with non-profits, but we have a few small municipal projects too). OVH account managers can be helpful in providing info for bidding on contracts, certifications, stuff like that.

I, for one, definitely welcome more competition. Nextcloud, LibreOffice and Thunderbird are good, but they require a lot of effort to switch.

On the other hand, business in Canada has been good. The place I work at has an influx of US organizations who do not want to host their data in the US either.

I don't know about the other items in your list, but in Bernie Sanders' Medicare For All plan, the Medicare expansion was never promised to be free. There was going to be a 4% payroll tax increase to pay for it.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

Thanks for the link.

While this may or may not be true (I haven't checked), actual viewers - which is all that really matters - is very different. Fox news viewership is much higher than CNN and MSNBC. Believe it or not, it's actually almost as much as CNN and MSNBC combined.

Fox: 3,978,000
CNN: 2,510,000
MSNBC: 2,266,000

The guy wasn't complaining about yards vs metres, he was complaining about using things that aren't actually units of measure, like "football fields" and "any building on the mainland of Western Europe."

Got it, thank you

What's an example of Douglas Adams making a comparison with a dissimile? I have read those books so long ago I can't remember what you are describing.

Is there anything special about 30 percent, or is that just the next milestone?

> My mental well being is more important to me than covering for an incompentent project management team, thank you very much.

I'm not sure how what I said relates to you personally. My point was that with very few exceptions, software is pretty much always late, and always behind schedule. And if it's on time, it typically happens by dropping features/functionality (which you refer to as adjusting scope). And this is including at the giant corporations with unlimited budgets and the means to hire the best talent.

All software development is like this. From operating systems to games.

Well this is annoying, I actually like CentOS. I have been using RedHat since the 90s, and I know where everything is. What do people recommend as an alternative for production servers?

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...
