The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary.

What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.

I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading "Carless people". I don't even think that would happen, it's not like these companies can't afford it, they just don't want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!

I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.

The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn't happen.

I suspect living longer implies higher quality.

The government doesn't guarantee the pension if the fund fails

This is incorrect, emphasis mine:

Funding shortfall The Government of Canada has a legal obligation to pay plan member pension benefits. If the plan becomes underfunded for any reason (for example, higher-than-expected costs, lower-than-expected investment results), the government is required to transfer additional funds into the public service pension plan. This has occurred before, including during the period from 2013 to 2018.

I don't dispute that they've renegotiated contribution rules, I don't know the history of this pension fund that well. Typically these rules are renegotiated with union agreement.

I haven't read the article...yet (after a skim I agree with the article). I really don't know how to feel about the gay/trans issue as I'm fine with my kids being gay or trans, but I don't want anyone dictating to me what religion or philosophy I raise my kids with, so I feel like I shouldn't get to say what the nut jobs believe it what they tell their children (to a point)... This is tough

You aren't a parent are you? Cause children will actually hurt themselves badly, and really do need active care at an early age.

For older children setting boundaries for your children so they aren't assholes is "determining best interests".

I don't want people telling me what religion or philosophy to raise my kids in, I kind of think of this as parents rights. Of course as kids get to be adults those go away.

I can't imagine it's actually like this, im guessing their just surrounded by pro oil propaganda. So they rationalize making gobs of money by believing that they aren't doing harm.

It's probably really easy when everything in their life rewards them being pro oil.

I hear this quite a bit, and think there's actually a good deal of nuance to it. I've seen places that insisted on comments for everything, and it was silly, a significant number of comments had no value. This made people not read comments, as opposed to other places I've worked with very few comments - when you ran across a comment you gave it more weight (something here was complex, or not as simple as it seemed).

So imo, use comments which can communicate effectively, but use them sparingly for important parts that are complicated, for the rest attempt to communicate with the code itself.

If your product or treatment of customers is so bad they'd go to the trouble to create multiple accounts to give you bad reviews. Maybe you deserve it.

Maybe just maybe they are saying review bombing but they just mean bad reviews. There is no evidence in that article that stream has detected review bombing meaning single person or bot flooding their page with bad reviews.

[Blindsight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel) is one of my favourite books.

Although US specific "dark money" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Money_(book), provides some answers.

The Netflix show has nothing to do with the book

For my local team: Generally a container (docker) for local dev. My team uses go so sometimes a Makefile without docker is enough. For other teams i've mostly i see docker.

for multiple apps this can get more complicated, docker compose, or skaffold is what i generally reach for (my team is responsible for k8s clusters so skaffold is pretty natural). I've seen other teams use garden.

hashicorp makes something called waypoint which i've never used. Nix people seem to be well liked as well.

Cool, if that's what you actually want, maybe just ask your partner. IMO the daddy shit is a bit over the top.

That's just it. You are more likely to have better outcomes focusing on what you want for you rather then on how you can appeal to more random people.

Why do you want men who want bigger boobs? It seems like because it'll appeal to more men? If that's the case why do you want to appeal to more men? If it's for something like: because I'd like to have sex with more of them, guess what: men just want to have sex, sure some can be choosy, but far far more won't care.

At your young looking age, you can choose from all sorts of men who will have no idea how to please you.
