A lot of Ostrich Politics about to happen over the next year(s) in the MAGAsphere.
If I were one of these employees, I’d consider it if Trump and Musk personally performed a duet of I Want You Back by the Jackson Five for me.

Not a very new problem…
FWIW, this is the first I’ve heard of him actually sounding even remotely like a leader rather than a yappy anti-Trudeau dog.
Sounds like he has been trying really hard to pivot his message, knowing that his polling numbers are heading in the wrong direction for him. The main issue is that his past chummy American statements are going to catch up to him, and he has to either side with Maple MAGA or with Canada, he can’t have both anymore.
My crystal ball forsees him at the debate repeating one rehearsed line over and over.
It’s precisely this mentality I’m arguing against (the unstoppableness of Trump, that’s what he wants you to think).
People only have power over you, if you obey their command. MAGA obeys Trump, that’s why Trump has power over MAGA. Whether he has power over the rest of America depends on how much Americans want to defend it from his ongoing attacks, which are happening right now and will continue. “Right now” means that it’s not too late. Giving up and conceding means giving Trump a free pass to wreck the USA.
Who would take an offer with a decades long history of not paying their bills?
We’ve got a big freight network but the advent of Precision Scheduled Railroading has gotten every bit of both human and wayside infrastructure cut to the bone.
Democrat House Representatives, hear me out for just one sec. Real talk, no matter what you do, Trump, Johnson and the Republicans are going to blame you for their own failures. So just don’t go along with it. You’re the minority now, be like what the Republicans were, [except] make a proper plan and tell them to fuck off unless they are willing to actually do their job, hold Trump in check, and do good things for people. Don’t settle for authoritarians.
If Trump’s going to break his freetrade contracts with Canada, we should just go ahead and jailbreak Aegis and eventually replace it with CMS.
Trump is skilled at presenting himself as the indomitable voice of a true American majority, creating a facade of consensus aided by the startling quiescence of congressional Republicans. Dissent, both loud and quiet, can crack that facade and make an illegitimate power grab apparent for what it is.
This is why it is super super important to resist and refuse to give in pre-emptively. Trump is a bully, and bullies rely on making you feel alone and scared. But you just have to look beside you to see who else he’s picking on. Just being aware of this, is the first step to becoming part of the resistance.
Okay. But every minute we can delay reaching that threshold will be worth it.
To me it’s the same as the US democracy right now. Yes it’s far too late to see no ill effects and we are already facing the consequences, but every act of resistance to unlawful, immoral and unconstitutional orders slow them down, and with enough co-ordination may slow them down enough before Trump and the oligarchs become truly unstoppable.
For any issue that effects our world’s existence, stand boldly and take action. Don’t let the fear of the inevitability of it consume you.
Yeah, there are some things that can be better standardized, but for most goods industries I don’t think it’s the primary reason the US is more competitive.
I get that, and like I said those types of things definitely exist, and yes some specific industry limits do bind sellers like with alcohol. We should ease up on some limits standardize the most confusing regulations where they were different for no good reason. But in terms of the scale of the problem, physical barriers and purely distance seems to be more of an issue to me.
A craft brewery in Vancouver needs aluminum and steel cans, the aluminum is forged in Kitimat, B.C., but the cans are made in either Calgary AB. or Everett, WA., because the can producers in Burnaby, B.C. only makes 473mL cans and can’t supply the volume of 355mL and 473mL cans the brewery needs.
The main reasons why the Everett supplier is more competitive is that the cans arrive more timely and reliably by train or truck because it doesn’t have to go through the mountains, new designs turn around quickly, it would have both lower production and delivery costs than Calgary, that a 25%-50% tariff might not even offset.
Or in another example, if bus manufacturer New Flyer Industries in Winnipeg, MB wanted to switch away from the US (despite 4 out of 5 facilities being located there), they would be avoiding all the vehicle parts manufacturers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. If you look to Ontario for any company that makes heavy vehicle parts you might find a what’s left of Bombardier in Thunder Bay, or a little thing in Sudbury or North Bay or the Sault, but beyond that there’s no industry until you go as far south as Bracebridge, ON. Quebec’s industry is still further.
These do exist, but the trade barriers of the regulatory kind are not what is holding us back from trading with each other and why it is far easier to trade with the US.
The real trade barrier is the rocky mountains, the fact that Jacksonville is closer to Toronto than Winnipeg, and the other fact that 90% of the Canadian population lives within 160km of the US border.
I would like to tackle these problems, by improving our national railway system.
Wondering the same… just last week i found out you cannot view your library in the web browser, only your transactions. Even after all this time.
Your President has attacked its best friends and neighbours. It is attempting to dismantle all the things that kept the country just fine, as a country you’ve missed every opportunity to stop it, now may be the last chance to slow it or mitigate it. You don’t know what you’ve got til’ it’s gone, so all I can say is, good luck.
On Mastodon, use hashtags fedihire and hiring, look for getfedihired hashtag to find prospective applicants.
One of the people with access to these systems already has a history of installing backdoors at a former workplace.
I mean suggesting the government doesn’t use SQL, in tech-speak is about as dumb as saying the government doesn’t use numbers.
Government is full of what are known as relational databases as you are well aware, and though it stands to reason that they aren’t all using the same software to manage it, many can be accessed using a standard language of commands. It could be a Microsoft Access, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle Derby, Microsoft SQL server, PostgresQL, SQLite, SAP HANA, so on and so forth. That language is Structured Query Language (SQL).
And saying there can be multiple entries in a database for one item with respect to the Social Security Database is, to me, a silly distraction and spreading BS FUD to ignorant people. As others have already mentioned, most databases have an internal sequence (keyID) number that is unrelated to the personal ID number of the person whose data is collected.
You already know this is a bald-faced lie. It’s going to go into the billionaire tax cut fund.
