The Global South? Those people aren't going to lay down and die. They're gonna climb North, as they should. And then we're gonna have to decide whether to shoot people approaching the borders or accept a huge population influx. Given our political reality, I think there's a good chance we try the first option at first.
Europeans — especially Germans — are increasingly keen on curbing immigration and are less focused on climate change, according to a study by a Danish-based think tank....
The only sustainable solution to migration is reducing the reasons to migrate. Tackling climate change would reduce perhaps the biggest reason for migration we're ever gonna see. So if you have to choose between curbing climate change without reducing migration, and curbing migration without reducing climate change, you should probably go with the former. The latter is only going to reduce migration temporarily and accelerate it long term. If they can even reduce migration in the near term.
I had several Xperias before switching to Pixel. It was the lack of updates that did it for me. Offer 7 years of updates in a repairable package and I'll buy an Xperia again. At this point the only two trains that look acceptable with their own pros and cons are Pixel and Fairphone.
“Despite the company’s stellar performance and record earnings, many Googlers have not received meaningful compensation increases” a top-rated employee question read. “When will employee compensation fairly reflect the company’s success and is there a conscious decision to keep wages lower due to a cooling employment market?”
With this leadership, when you unionize. It's literally what they're for.
Still, asking the question in this clear way that almost evokes the answer by itself is important. It puts it into the heads of people watching. Could be a union instigator. 😅

If it means that CP remains sustainable while paying its workers well, I'm alright with that. (And assuming CP won't begin receiving tax subsidies. I do agree with others' points that it makes sense to be a government funded service.)
It's way easier to figure that out than check ChatGPT hallucinations. There's usually someone saying why a response in SO is wrong, either in another response or a comment. You can filter most of the garbage right at that point, without having to put it in your codebase and discover that the hard way. You get none of that information with ChatGPT. The data spat out is not equivalent.
Good? I don't know I can't tell anymore. On one hand we understand that growth has been bad for climate change and it doesn't look we're on the path to allow green growth. On the other we scream when the growth stalls. Perhaps different people scream at each occasion? If not, might be suffering from a collective disorder of some sort. 😅
"Recruitment and retention of doctors in Ontario is "not a major concern," the Ministry of Health suggests in arguments it is making in arbitration with the Ontario Medical Association over physician compensation....
The ministry cited various data points to back up its arguments. The supply of doctors has grown 8.9 per cent from 2019-20 to 2023-24, while the population grew 7.1 per cent, it said.
In that same time period, the average income of a physician increased by about 10 per cent, while the average patient encounters per physician dropped 3.7 per cent, the ministry said.
There's so this thought. Not that I trust this government but it's interesting if true.
I pretty much stopped going to my family doctor for trivial things because it's always a half-to-full day affair. I'm going to local walk-in clinics instead.

If the building is built to code, the ground connector on the wall outlets should also be well grounded. Some new buildings have plastic water pipes so the faucets might not be as grounded as they used to be.
Well I've saved my pennies and I now finally have enough to get an Ebike. after HOURS of watching youtube videos, reviews, etc. I think I've narrowed my choice to these two options....
I don't know how you're with lifting 31kg but for me that would be completely impossible. I'm lifting a 15kg bike regularly and I can't practically go over 18kg. This is double that.
I wouldn't buy an ebike without a reputable North American company behind it. There's plenty that can go wrong and it could quickly turn into $1200 in the garbage. I would skip on buying until I can afford something that reduces that risk, unless I absolutely need an ebike now.
That's just not true. There are companies that have been doing ebikes for over a decade now (Trek, Pedego, etc.). Heck even Rad is pretty old. There are also ebikes system manufacturers that have proven track records whose systems have gone through several generations of development (Bosch, Bafang, Shimano).
You touch on an important point - maintenance. Getting a noname brand throws you into unknown territory when it comes to maintenance and you'd very likely have to go DIY when things start breaking. Brake pads are just one good example. Can't find spares? Replace the brakes... that's another $100-200.
Personally if I were trying to get a bike on a budget I'd get a throttle-only, no frills kit with Bafang or Shengyi from a reputable DIY shop that has good warranty like Grin (ebikes.ca) and slap that on a decent second hand steel frame bike. I'd also save money on picking up a smaller battery. Should something fail, Grin would take care of it. The steel frame would prevent any problems around the dropouts area and maintenance would be easy since most decent bikes sold in NA have pretty standard parts. Some mix of Sram, Shimano, Tektro, TRP, etc. Shimano for example is cheap and very reliable.
Wow REI do indeed have some nice budget options. This is spectacular. Shimano all around, Tektro brakes (hydraulic), Bafang electrics. This should be very reliable and if something fails, there's warranty, and there are spare parts. You can get aftermarket Bafang parts too. I'm running a Bafang G310 rear on my DIY build and it's been supremely reliable. My wife's noname hub broke twice in 3 years.
OP, look at this and REI's in-house options.
E: I looked again and noticed it's 48 pounds and the Q&A claims it's got a torque sensor. If that's truly the case, this will feel amazing to ride compared to cadence sensored bikes, which is the majority of cheap options.
According to the Q&A it comes with a torque sensor. 🤯
I have a Bafang torque sensor fitted to my DIY build (different controller and computer) and that's the best torque sensor I've tried and I've tried nearly everything available aftermarket (Sempu T2/T4, ERider, Thun RT, Enorau). It could be a cheaper version that measures axle bending instead of twisting but it would still feel way better than the cadence sensors typically fitted on the cheapest options.
It's 250W nominal, it likely peaks to over 500W given that its torque is 45Nm. That's quite a bit. I'd be more worried about the strength of the frame and especially wheels (spoke failure, etc). It's got a 300lbs weight limit. I doubt the other ones are stronger in this regard though.
One more thing, I looked again at those bikes you linked, the Wallke almost certainly doesn't have a 1000W motor. 1000W motors are bigger than that. There's no magic for packing more power in a small package and if there is, you won't see it on this bike. The other one also looks like a standard 250/500W hub.
Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing....
After getting fed up with TrueNAS (after it borked itself for the third time and I would have had to set it up AGAIN) I decided to learn Ansible and write a playbook to setup my homeserver that way....
If I read this correctly, Immich is setup entirely through Ansible, no docker compose. That's fine, however if Immich changes something drastically in their setup topology, it'll be more work for you to implement those changes. For services that use docker compose, you could use Ansible to deploy a compose file in a dir, say /opt/immich-docker along with its requisite .env and other files. Then setup running it via systemd. Then when you need to update it, it's almost copy-paste from the upstream compose file into your Ansible repo.
I wouldn't do that because I'd be inevitably picking up breaking changes without my knowledge that I'd have to fix after the fact. Unless you're pulling from a tag I guess. Still storing along the playbook feels more robust. It's less likely to get any surprises. Also I'm working under the assumption that you want to write idempotent code so you don't get breakage when your rerun it, which allows to run it on a schedule, to ensure your config doesn't drift too much.
