I agree that we don’t necessarily need to make a big huff over this, being a relatively isolated incident I think it should just be investigated in the same way other inappropriate police conduct is… oh wait I see the problem.

Londoners overall are very supportive of it given the fact it has been in place for 22 years now without a gov’t repealing it

In Canada it’s a politically successful strategy to agitate the suburbs. Even if implemented at the start of a liberal government, conservatives would be able to get rid of congestion fees in as little as 4 years.

Look at what Ontario is doing to the bike lanes in Toronto. It has been a struggle to get the bare minimum of biking infrastructure put in over the last 3 mayors of Toronto and the Provincial Conservatives have successfully campaigned suburbanites against the bikes lanes that are not even present in their own neighborhoods.

After seeing the success in New York I would love for something like that in Toronto’s downtown core; however serious and aggressive improvement of the TTC would be needed.

Right now a small power outage can cause massive delays. We need more lines, redundant systems, and a diversity of routes to let people redirect themselves when necessary.

He did a pretty good job with Covid.

At the start when he was panicking and relying on the experts? Yes.

Withholding money from the healthcare system in Ontario during a pandemic is not something I will be praising him for, and contributes to the reasons why I will never vote for him.

I don’t like the Austrian one being phone-integrated, but I understand why people would want that.

The technology has existed since the 80s.

X509 certificates would allow a government agency to sign a digital identity indicating that it’s legitimate, would allow for remote revocation in the event of loss or theft, and can be easily integrated with every existing computer and browser.

An issued physical card would resemble a credit card, with a chip in it. Other physical form factors can take the shape of USB-devices which bundle the card and the reader into a single device.

It’s nice that you’re so ready to delegate to my natural authority, but unnecessary.

I’m sick of stuff that should be ~2 paragraphs of text being a video. I do not want to watch a person or hear a narrator, I interpret written information much more effectively, and being text I can retain significant portions of the document as necessary.

I recommend BTRFS for the CON bonus.

Earlier this week I was solidly behind the workers and thought that they should hold out as long as they have to.

Now I’m waiting for a package and I demand the government immediately give in to all their demands.

Progressive Americans share too many values with Conservative Canadians. Sorry.

It and I might just be at odds about some fundamental aspects of note taking. One of the major problems I have is shared with Protonmail: Folders as a second class feature.

I may be old and tired, but structure is information. Folders are a premium feature, which on its face is laughable - I’m not opposed to paying for software, I pay for the note taking software I use now, but c’mon. For me tags are not a suitable substitution, they are good metadata for sure; particularly for searching but it’s a very flat organization system. It could be so much richer.

Missing free-form note metadata. We’ve got created date and modified date which is good, and an archived flag which is OK. An example I have from my notes is: I take notes during a meeting, sometimes on paper when I’m not in a situation where I have a computer in front of me. When I digitize these notes I assign an attribute to them that is the date the meeting took place, since digitization may not happen until the next day or longer depending on how long it sits on my desk.

Missing templates. I have spent some time putting together rough outline structures for different kinds of notes; release notes, change logs, general meetings, and daily task notes.

Missing note links. I am a big fan of not repeating information in a bunch of places. Doubly so in notes. My first impressions of a thing may be wrong, incomplete, missing context… and if I can create a note about a thing, and then link back to the thing when I refer to it in other notes it adds a great deal of context and allows for extremely simple revisions.

None of this stuff is mandatory for note taking for sure, but so much value can be derived not just from the content of your notes but the metadata surrounding your notes. When you open the door to this, and you add something like “smart lists” which are more or less just saved search critera… it helps.

I wish they had gone with something a little more robust than standard notes.
