Apparently, from articles I read about the Canadian law, Australia tried something similar but fang got it reversed.

The problem is that Canada is a small market. FANG doesn't need the revenue from it but they would hate for these laws to become popular so they'll try to make an example out of Canada.

Canada just passed legislation forcing Google and face book to pays for each showing (or redirecting?) of a Canadian news url. The law aims at redistributing money from internet giants back to news sites. Google and Facebook are threatening to just outright stop including Canadian news URL.

It's a bold move from the government, I'm not for how I feel about it.

Always has been. I used to work for a DSP and we called them cookie cutter sites. The content was copied instead of being ai generated. Not a new idea, just a new implementation

What's the name of that safer alternative?

A more useful guideline would be something like: how to steer a conversation to be constructive for both parties.

I couldn't get chatgpt to make this into a spectrum like in the pyramid but if you invert the order of the negative impact section and concatenate it after the positive liste you get the text for that pyramid. It does make sense though

Positive Impact:

  1. Collaborative problem-solving
  2. Active listening and empathy
  3. Finding common ground
  4. Constructive feedback
  5. Open-ended questions
  6. Positive tone and inclusive language
  7. Clarifying and paraphrasing
  8. "I" statements
  9. Avoiding defensiveness and judgment
  10. Seeking solutions together

Negative Impact:

  1. Interrupting or talking over the other person
  2. Dismissing or invalidating the other person's perspective
  3. Using aggressive or confrontational language
  4. Making personal attacks or insults
  5. Ignoring or belittling the other person's feelings
  6. Dominating the conversation and not allowing equal participation
  7. Stonewalling or refusing to engage in discussion
  8. Manipulating or twisting the other person's words
  9. Engaging in passive-aggressive behavior
  10. Refusing to consider alternative viewpoints

There's also the more potent: "you are right". Although it has many draw backs

In Montreal an Airbnb cought fire and killed 6 guests and one tenant because the owner converted a house to multiple Airbnb ignoring all regulation (including fire marshal rules)

English article: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-old-port-fire-1.6788756

The province ended up banning Airbnbs but I don't know the details of the bag

The french media had some follow up stories describing the owner total lack it respect for regulation. The province ended up banning Airbnbs but I don't know the details of the bag

@ used to signify French "à" ("at") from a 1674 protocol from a Swedish court (Arboga rådhusrätt och magistrat)

This makes sense considering that in french "a" and "à" are two common and very different words and "@" might be faster to write in cursive. In the doc it looks like the writer made the "𝓪" ending at the bottom right and, without lifting his pen, added the diacritic.

Je crois que la taxe sur carbone (la bourse au Québec) doit être plus aggressive. C'est essentiellement ce que tu propose mais plus politiquement facile à faire. La différence serait que je transférerait moins d'argent au particulier.

Anecdotique mais, la normalisation du télétravail accéléré la chose. Avant c'était surtout des tâches ou composants non critiques qui étaient outsourés, maintenant ils engagent en Inde des équipes qu'ils intègre au département tel une équipe régulière. Bref avant ils sous contractaient maintenant c'est des embauche direct.

Je considère changer de boulot pour me faire payer en USD ou en euro

Je suis software engineer, 15 ans d'expérience 140k/année, l'industrie de logiciels fond a vus d'oeil et d'en moins de dix ans je vais me faire remplacer par un Indiens en télétravail ou quelqu'un dont la monnaie vaut moins que le CAD e (mon enterprise a déjà commencé)
