"Just let me live the life I want to live, by fucking up others' lives way more than the other party may have mildly inconvenienced me for sound policy. Wait, why is this affecting me now?"
It's a tale as old as time.
and they ignore our laws in favour of their own
Well, we can at least tell you learned zero Canadian history.
I live in Ontario, Canada. You're an idiot, and don't speak for me. There are idiots everywhere on the planet. You're one. See you at the polls.
~22% (I'll round it to 25%) of Canadians speak French as a first language, and using rough numbers that would be ~10 million Canadians, which equates to 1/8th of 1% of the world population. If forcing kids to learn a language that ~0% of the world uses seems rational, you've lost the point of education.
I'm unlikely to read anything dumber than this today. French is a single class, its easy. You remind me of when I was in grade 7 and two morons in my class took up the cause to protest that we had to learn the subway stations even tho, in their words, 'they would never use it'. So that's fun, you make the same fundamentally stupid mistake that some grade 7 kids were making about the value of learning things - the point isn't to teach things that you need, the point is to teach you thinks so that you learn how to learn. That French *can* help you if you're not some kind of moron allergic/scared of the greater world is part of the point.
3 Inches of Blood
ROFL. Youre whining about CanCon then complaining about a Canadian band that isn't being played on the radio? The stupidity astounds me. I dunno what small town you're from, but it's doing you no favours.
the fucking country speaks English
I hear French all the time on the streets of Toronto, parents at school, in public transit. I am from Toronto. Despite being from an Anglophone family with two parents who don't speak a lick French, all of my school was in French until I was in grade 6, and then half of it was in French until I was in grade 9. I understand French fluently (although I don't really need to speak it) and I know many other Anglophones who are fluent in it here in Toronto.
You're a moron. Don't talk about things you don't know shit about.
Netflix doesn't "broadcast" anything. Users pull it, if they so desire.
Netflix makes content available, and they choose what is available, based on the geographic location of the person watching it. Doesn't sound much like a pull model to me. The ask of Cancon is simply to regulate that there's a particular balance of Canadian produced content. Suggesting Cancon is about regulating the balance of consumption belies the fundamental stupidity at the base of your argument.
And oh, when's the last time you saw the majority of US media (incl Hollywood, to look at the bastion of American cultural power) saying
Literally any time it would improve their bottom line? What are you, an idiot? Your entire post sure makes it sound that way.
So an AI implementation hacked an AI platform - and Alabama is investigating?
I thought Alabama was more accepting of penetration by related entities?

Because it's uncomfortable and never, actually, 3X faster given it takes an hour to actually get to the airport and checked in and through security and half an hour minimum before you can leave the destination. And let's not forget that you're giving up an entire day in practice anyway when travelling.
I get it though, you like cramped seats, shitty service, anti-social co-passengers, expensive tickets, and long, long, waits. In which case, good news, because Europe has airports too! It's just almost all Europeans prefer the train, maybe because your statement above is just plain stupid.
> You know, I always marvel at the level of brainwashing it took to convice leftists to hate cars: a transport system that operates on my schedule, on my route, with no walking to stop involved, no waiting in wind or rain at said stop, which doesn't leave without me if I'm late, with no transfers needed, where I control the AC setting, the music, which doesn't put screens in front of my face with the same 3 ads on a loop during my hour-long journey, in which I can ALWAYS comfortably sit not just during off-hours, need I go on?
You know, I always marvel at the level of brainwashing it took to convince rightists to hate public transportation given cars are a transportation system that operates on no schedule with little or no predictability, that leaves you completely stranded if your own vehicle stops working, where you're constantly having to do your own maintenance, and ultimately spend hours a day staring at two lines on some fucking tarmac, stuck in a cramped metal box with uncomfortable seats, when you could just read and relax, and stand and walk around occasionally, like you would on public transport. Need I go on?
> "Oh, you need that suspicious lump looked at? Of course, as an EU citizen you are entitled to free healthcare, we can schedule an appointment as soon as 2047!" I mean fuck me, you think noone ever knows how that "free healthcare" looks *in practice* and you can blatantly fucking lie about how "awesome" it is and noone will call you out?
"Oh, you need that suspicious lump looked at? Of course, as a US citizen you are entitled to pay through the nose for an insurance service that'll require you see a primary care doctor, who's all booked up for the next 9 months, to give you a referral, and then we won't cover most of it and you'll go bankrupt." I mean, fuck me, you don't even know how "Free healthcare" looks in practice: if someone waits 6 months for a hip operation in the UK, there are questions asked in the House of Commons by MPs. Meanwhile if your insurance company fucks you over in the US, you're SoL, nobody gives a crap, half the country will find a way to blame you for it, and healthcare is intentionally rationed using high prices and constant treatment rejections because there aren't enough doctors, and there's no incentive under the US system to train more doctors - and lots of incentives to train *less*.
> LOL, wake up Sparky, it's 2026, uncontrolled immigration made those "safe streets" you speak of very much a thing of the past. OK, you are more likely to die from being stabbed (or run over with a truck, the new fashionable thing you have going on there) than from being shot, makes a huuuuge difference.
Hi, my name's blahabi and I believe any old nonsense far right nutcases spout if it fits my preconceived notions. If it shows "immigrants bad", then I believe it, despite knowing there's ample evidence immigrants commit less crime in all sectors than non-immigrants in virtually every western nation, almost certainly because they know the risks are far heavier for them.
> LOOOOOOOOL. Tell me, did you have the chance to vote for (or against) Ursula von der Leyen the way US citizens did get to vote for or agaisnt Trump? No you didn't. Same as you never get to elect the European Comission, nor the CJEU, who actually rule Europe. You only ever voted for EU parliment, which is famously the most powerless elected body in the world, so much it's a meme. Fucking democracy indeed
Ursula von der Leven doesn't have the powers of Trump so this is a nonsense comparison. And yes, every EU citizen has the right to vote in their own countries for and against their current politicians. The major difference is there's no fucking vote rigging. While the US is doing its best to disenfranchise or erect hurdles to prevent people from voting against Trump and the Republicans.
> No such thing as a "carbon debt" except as a leftist talking point
Facts don't care about your feelings, dumbass.
> open borders
Again, all you're doing is suggesting you're a one note RWNJ who has never actually understood the value of multicultural societies and believes any old crap about "others", in this case immigrants, to bolster your "scared of change" attitude.
> You mean "car-hostile"? I don't mind walkable, but a more appropriate word would be "walking-enforced", so no thanks.
No, he means walkable. Car hostile would imply that cars have some right to be a default form of transportation so inalienable that even the only universal form of transportation should be second tier to it. It is practical to walk and use cars throughout Europe. In most of the US, walking is de-facto banned, with road and neighborhood builders making it impractical to use that method of transportation (or even other non-car systems like public transportation or even bicycles) to access local facilities.
> Oh, noone disputes it makes a great vacation target. Go there, visit aboementioned things, enjoy the theme park atmosphere, observe primitive europeans living there in their natural habitat, make some photos to post on some (US-made obviously) social media site, then, return to civilization once that stops being fun and starts being tiresome.
Maybe if you took a vacation over there, you'd lose your... well never mind, I get it, you're too scared of brown people and think they're lurking behind every pillar in Europe getting ready to stab you.
But if you went there, you'd realize how stupid your entire reply is. I literally know right wing Republican Americans who went to Britain for a business trip who came back asking why the fuck the US doesn't have trains and walkability.
I'm pretty sure that Amazon is one of those institutions that's all-in on AI so they can join in the attempts to take over every business in the country.
Maybe they should just say "We're upping our prices because of our own greed and lust for power, just not in the usual way."
C++ has developed at lot over the last 20 years, and my understanding from C++ programmers is that there are now safe alternatives to virtually everything that had to be done using unsafe code in the past. So as long as you restrict yourself to those modern features, you can produce entirely safe C++, C++ that's as safe as Rust.
The problem with C++ is more that you have no idea what you're getting when someone drops a C++ source code bomb on you. It might be written using safe idioms, it might be using unsafe features but in a safe way. I wouldn't start a new project in C++, but I understand why someone like the GP might propose it as a way to start a project to increase security of an existing C program.
He's not looking at it the wrong way.
You're essentially saying "But a technology that does this would be very valuable!"
Yeah, no shit. So would a technology that turns lead into gold. Or that can tell whether some unwatermarked text is LLM generated or not.
Like both of those cases, it's just not possible. C needs to be translated to Rust by someone who knows the intent of the programmer, as the GP pointed out. Most of the time that's not possible to automate. There are far too many edge cases.
In C a string is an array of chars. And chars are often used as a byte type because before the second ANSI standard, char *was* the byte type. So every time you see char a[256] you MAY be looking at something intended to hold a string, but you also MAY be looking at something intended to hold series of bytes. You may think that because someone wrote something that maybe even included a string initializer that you're dealing with a string, but the developer may well be treating it as something else.
Your very example is why this kind of thing isn't automatable without a huge level of hand holding.
The best anyone can do to make "safe C" is to emulate capabilities and make it do that. Which is chronically slow. And the reality is that even capabilities aren't a panacea, because C really is just that bad. You'd get rid of some classes of error, but UB means you'd almost certainly introduce a whole set of bugs from programmers unaware how big an issue UB is, and who assume ultimately memory is just a big byte array, and some of those errors may well be security holes.

Well wtf does he mean by speedtest then? If he's doing it from his phone or wifi connected laptop, then it's going to reflect the speed of his wifi. If he's doing it from his router, and complaining that the speedtest is wrong because his wifi is slower than his router uplink, I'd say that's a statement only a doofus would make.
"Now I'm currently using fiber at the speed fast than my wifi router, which makes my speedtest always wrong."
oh please expand on this - this is gunna be hilarious

How many Unix hacks does it take to change a light bulb? Let's see, can you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?
