Pricing seems to be the same as the previous version. They could have at least charged a little less for the much shorter licenses.
Kaczynski asked for clarification about how Robinson believed Stein embedded comments published over a five-year period from 2008 to 2013.
Was it a time travelling AI? Generative AI wasn't much of a thing in 2008-2013.
Seems like Trump's people didn't do any digging to vet Vance, but the MAGA crowd will write it all off as fake news anyway.
As opposed to the discs movies are sold on.
Less likely isn't the same as unlikely, most of those people probably just went from definitely voting for Trump to probably voting for Trump.
This week they were even against energy efficient applicances.
And now that he's back he's only working Mondays, so he's got less risk of exhaustion and new people still get the rest of the week.
If Nancy Pelosi caused the insurrection why didn't your people try to charge her instead of focusing on Hunter Biden?
I think CBC's article on the layoffs yesterday included the real problem:
"The source of this is a dividend policy that has really become out of whack," added Horan.
BCE will now pay a quarterly dividend of 99.75 cents per common share, up from 96.75 cents per share, the company said Thursday. Dividends are a portion of earnings that companies pay out to their shareholders, usually every quarter.
"Typically, the companies pay about 50 per cent of their earnings in dividends, and they're up to about 130 per cent right now of their earnings. So I think that's pressuring the company to produce more free cash flow."
It's technically a Canadian Press article, but the CTV copy linked here yesterday didn't have that part.
"Meta's practices are clearly designed to discipline Canadian news companies, prevent them from participating in and accessing the advertising market, and significantly reduce their visibility to Canadians on social media channels," the CBC said in a joint statement with the Canadian Association of Broadcasters and News Media Canada, a trade organization that represents newspapers.
Isn't the argument for C-18 that the advertising market isn't doing the news organizations much good anyway?
And as far as their visibility on social media channels, the news organization created this problem for themselves in the first place by encouraging people to share their work on social media; if they'd focused on making sure people know where to find them instead of posting all their work maybe their sites would be getting more traffic. They tried a business strategy, it didn't work out, and now instead of coming up with a better strategy they're trying to force Meta and Google to give them money and make the bad strategy work.
Canadians expect tech giants to follow the law in our country.
The law says Meta and Google have to pay to carry news; it doesn't say they have to carry news. Maybe the law should have been written without that gaping hole?

First-past-the-post does need to go, but what gets me is that Trudeau started an electoral reform process involving public consultations and buy-in from the other parties, and what he regrets is not that he shut it down when it wasn't going towards his preferred system, but that he didn't just skip all that and use his majority to implement his preferred aystem.
