That's what every country does. Al-Jazeera doesn't push content about Brazil. The BBC doesn't push content about Lithuanians. French film companies don't produce movies about Korean ex-pats living in Japan, and Japanese film companies don't produce dramas about winemaking in Bordeaux.

People can watch whatever they like. The "Made in Canada" laws are ridiculous. The CBC wanted SCTV to produce "specifically Canadian" content when it switched to that network, so they cooked up Bob and Doug McKenzie. As if a Canadian-produced TV show featuring mostly Canadian actors wasn't Canadian enough.

Microsoft doesn't care about desktops any more. They barely care about servers. There is no growth in those markets. You can run SQL Server and most of .NET on Linux now, and host the apps on Kestrel. They want you to switch everything over to Linux, then put all of that on Azure, because, even for them, Linux VMs are cheaper to run than Windows VMs.

What really matters is how much air the filter can move. Those little jobbers that sit on a table and run a fancy looking computer chassis fan are almost useless. I saw a guy on Youtube tape four big, square, pleated HEPA furnace air filters into a box shape, then tape a box fan on top of the box facing downwards. It sounds hacky, but he did the calculations on the MERV ratings of the filters and the air velocity of the box fan, and it checked out. After running for an hour in a dusty room, the filters were already pretty dirty. Ugly, but it gets the job done.

I've noticed when commenting on very well run public systems, nobody brings up huge countries. China, Russia, the US, etc... It's always fairly small countries. It might be confirmation bias on my part, but it seems like the best run organizations are generally fairly small. Small startup companies. Small or medium-sized cities. Or, at a national scale, small countries. It seems the answer to bad management is to keep things as small as possible.

Arkham House used to do absurdly small print runs-- 5000 copies. Sometimes they'd reprint them, sometimes not. Some of them have made their way to the Intenet archive, but the actual books are collector's items.

But what does that have to do with Disneyland, which is in California?

RF control drones are nowhere near dead. Even DJI Mavics are still used daily for recon missions, nothing beats their combination of price to video quality.

This is a love tap, fists will be thrown later. One thing can and should be done, we need to start adding aerosols into the atmosphere, the higher the better. Adding Na compounds to jet fuels would introduce just enough aerosols in order to start reflecting a tiny amount more of solar radiation than what makes it to the surface of the planet. 1-2% reflection is all we need to start reducing the temperatures. Of-course we will have to keep doing it until we figure out a more permanent solution.

This problem needs to be solved by references, ask AI, people, is this program safe before installing.

Google is now adding more rules to make sideloading more difficult while Apple never provided a way to sideload an app in the first place. People need to be able to build and load their own apps without permission from the OS manufacturer, a phone is a computer with specialized hardware, we do have ability to build and run apps on our own hardware.

You put ALL of your data on one cloud provider with no local backup? Loosing that data is YOUR fault. It's a few thousand dollars for a half dozen hard drives to store 50TB. Or heck, 50 100GB M-DISC Blu-Rays for less than that. That's what the Disney Imagineering sound department does - M-DISC backup, live copy on file servers, then secondary cloud backup.

It always sounds like a lot of money to the bean counters until you explain to them the station probably spent tens of millions of dollars producing that content, and all it takes is a corporate meltdown or technical SNAFU and all of it is gone.

I solved this problem a long time ago by never using Reddit. After Digg killed themselves, the downward slide came quickly.

Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

They need it embedded in their SLRs. This needs to somehow be able to integrate into the cameras people use for business purposes. Also into security cams, etc; But this is a start, I am not knocking it at all. It just needs to spread like wildfire because what's coming as AI/cgi gets better is going to make everyone question all reality.

1. Trees absorb CO2 2. Cut trees down and turn them into paper 3. Use paper, throw away, put into ground 4. Grow more trees that absorb more CO2 When paper decomposes in landfills, it does produce CO2 and methane. The methane can be processed into natural gas and used, while the overall amount of CO2 and methane produced, per unit of mass, is much less than what is left as biomass.
