Mortgage rates shouldn’t be considered and no one should be bailing out real estate speculators. A competent investor knows there is a market rate for rent, and would consider the variable risk of debt financing and would never have considered the ‘investment’. Owners of units that aren’t highly leveraged have minimal exposure to these rate increases. These people are simply greedy speculators that not only took stupid gambles, they are partially responsible for the current real estate crisis in the first place. High leverage, low interest rates drove high demand and market scarcity.

This ruling needs to be disputed as the adjudicator’s decision appears incompetent, prejudiced, or both.

“I find the world and economic events in reaction to the pandemic were not reasonably foreseeable and have impacted the landlords, despite them taking reasonable precautions by accessing a mortgage through a recognized and well-known lender,” the ruling reads.

Really? It wasn’t reasonable to foresee this crisis with record low emergency interest rates and highest real estate prices in history? Idiot.

Just a thought from experience: Be wary of any critical products and/or taking a job from a company run by an accountant. CrowdStrike CEO… accountant!

Accounting firms are an obvious exception.

The other concern is censorship. Essentially a movie that you bought is on a server and then someone’s decided that words, content, or scenes are no longer appropriate. The video, song, etc, is different from the original and without any notification. The old scenes get sent to the memory hole. Oh dear Winston, I fear we will meet soon!

Backup was on Azure. I get the sentiment on the cloud, but there is no excuse for this incompetence at Google.

It’s great, I use it on 3 machines. Gigabyte Intel laptop with Nvidia GPU, Alien AMD desktop with Nvidia, and a Lenovo Intel desktop with AMD GPU. The separate installer for Nvidia GPUs is an awesome idea and took away my biggest headache (Nvidia driver issues). Installs were a breeze, performance is great. Laptop sleep /wake is very reliable. Intuitive UI and minimal fiddling meant I could get to work instead of troubleshooting issues. I only use Windows occasionally now for a couple games and Windows apps. I highly recommend.

I don’t think he had anything to do with your ice cream.

I closed out may accounts just in time, a lot of work.
There is nothing international about RBC, all the benefits of HSBC are now gone. They even charge for e-transfers and their internatiinal wire transfer service is an expensive joke.

Thanks Trudeau.

For a developer, I’d try PopOS! It is built on Ubuntu, but doesn’t stray far from it. It has a lot of developer tools and packages either pre installed or easy to access. Simple install process and runs well.

Especially when some of their children end up sterile from the illness.

They didn’t apologize. Headlines just say they did.

Yeah it’s a classic case of Microsoft marketing. So far I found the office integration to be the least useful and most over hyped in marketing. However what it is good at is actually helpful. Join a meeting late it already has an update for what’s happened on the meeting so far and it’s really good for summarizing a meeting especially a key topics and a summary of action items. Tedious tasks like taking data copied from a PDF file and reformatting it correctly in CSV. And my favorite is making custom graphics based on a specific colour palette, though most images are really good for entertainment, demos and samples, but not production quality for final products. Weird results include creepy human images just don’t look right in a disturbing zombie-like way.

The typical example they provide in the story isn’t actually a good one as it is in Alberta, where they built the Alberta Supernet, so the situation in the story is actually far better than anywhere else in Canada.

That is a very long article that somehow completely fails to mention the Monroe doctrine.

AKA: Why is South America so fucked up?

I imagine we still don’t teach it in school.

There’s nothing to see. It doesn’t matter how close you look.

Pee Pee is a technocrat, in the literal sense. Techno = skill, crat = power

Skill to get and maintain power. I think Mulcair is just jealous that he isn’t as skilled, otherwise I don’t think any different of him. Political office is a magnet for such people.

What will he do once he gets the power? Impossible to know at this point, but he’s figured out how to get more and that’s exactly what he’s going to do.

I could save them a lot of money. If you want shitty phone service that unreliable with weird problems that never get resolved get lots of excuses and just generally shit, use Vodafone.

 An interesting investigation would be who hired this guy?
