    YSK that the idea that drivers pay for roads is a myth, because funding sources also include property taxes, sales taxes and income taxes that people pay regardless of whether they drive or not

  • And this is why I support cyclists and pedestrians having as much right to roadways as a person that chooses to drive their car.

  • I just sideloaded a applications on windows using a .exe and running through the installation wizard. Microsoft must hate me for not using the Windows Store /s

  • Explain Like I am a child ... taxes. I get you pay taxes on goods you buy everyday. And you get said goods by paying a one time fee. But how come on a home after being paid off I still pay taxes......

    Jump

  • This is the answer, your property taxes are not for your property alone but all the services provided for you, your children and your community.

    If you don't pay those taxes then that road infront of your home never gets built, the street never get plowed, the bus never picks up your kids.

  • Trump says gas prices 'not very high' as most U.S. voters blame him for price spike

    Jump

  • Not very high, yet.

    They will more then likely get higher if following history from the 1973–1974 oil embargo. The effects were delayed.

    This is worth a watch, at least the first 2-3 minutes that provides a good summary.

  • The movie Interstellar depicted dust storms caused by something called blight. I like to think it was due to the soils being so depleted of nutrients that crops would no longer grow causing the soil to essentially suffocate the planet.

    The Strait of Hormuz is not only a shipping route for oil, but also for fertilizers and helium. So things are going to start to get worse before they get better, and the ripple caused by this is slowly starting to hit North America.

    Also helium is used in chip manufacturing so DRAM is about to get even a hell of a lot more expensive, then it already is...

  • Wake up sheeple

    Jump

  • I though "woke" was the term that implied people being asleep, or are they use them interchangeably now?

  • New 3D printing regulations: "Additive in America: Regulating 3D Printing" by 3D Printing Nerd

    Jump

  • So... could I not just disconnect my pc from the internet, or have a desktop or virtual machine without internet access, keep my 3d printer offline, and use a software or 3d modeling software that's open-source, and profit?

    This bill has also just classified my ice tray as a 3D printer, and don't tell anyone but a trip to my local Home Depot with 10 bucks in my hand could potentially make something more dangerous.

  • That's the point, who needs a truck the size of a whole house.

    Japanese pickup trucks have the same bed length as current American pickup trucks at a fraction of the size.

    Hell even trucks from the 1980s - 1990s are a fraction of the size.

  • Row over ‘virtual gated community’ AI surveillance plan in Toronto neighbourhood

    Jump

  • Flock cameras can also pickup conversations of people passing by, let alone the massive amount of other privacy concerns with these being owned by third party companies and how extremely easily hackable these cameras are.

    IMO, I don't see how people in Toronto can support these cameras, especially since Ontario in general had speed cameras removed, and those as far as I know were police operated.

    TBH it would probably make more sense to install the speed cameras back, those only captured photos as opposed to 24/7 recordings.

    Some links that you might find useful:

    How hackers can use flock cameras to monitor and stock neighborhoods:

    Video that is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9MwZkHiMQ

    Edit: Went down a rabbit hole.

    Toronto's speed cameras were owned, operated, and maintained by Verra Mobility (specifically through their subsidiary, Redflex Traffic Systems (Canada) Limited). This is a Arizona-based company. While the City of Toronto selected the locations and processed the tickets. I can't seem to find any clear info on how the data was processed or how the system was secured.
