Oh, so Trudeau's interested in electoral reform again is he? Funny how just after he first got elected all those promises and commitees to look at alternatives to FPTP just faded... but now that he might lose it's suddenly back on the table?
Never forget, the promise was broken.
If the research was government-funded (eg. Universities) why doesn't the government get the patents in the first place? That would help cut such shenanigans off at the knees.
Looks like someone forgot to cast their uint32_t to int32_t or should've used a signed type in the first place, unless they're storing temps in Kelvin :)

This guy really, really needs to learn what the internet can do to the reputation of those who deserve it.
He literally says the rich class needs to "hurt the economy" on purpose. Economic terrorism.
It's great stirred into plain or vanilla yoghurt for breakfast. I think that's in fact the "traditional European" way it's eaten?
Or at least at nearly every Bed & Breakfast in western Canada that tries to be "Victorian" :)
I like GOP candidates who don't get indicted multiple times.
Heh.
Yes, please. We do want to know.
(I read somewhere, long ago, that some suspect he went after the Italian mob in NY merely to clear room for the Russian mob.. with attendant kickbacks to him for doing so... any juice to that?)
Going to find Sinatra discography, specifically 78s, to DL just to spite these a*holes. I don't even like Sinatra that much. Thanks, Streisand Effect.
I haven't kept up with it, but OpenCores is a balwark against this type of thing. FPGAs, while not as efficient as fab silicon, AFAIK lets one implement CPUs, interconnects and peripherals without any predefined channels to target for subversion. The NSA or other boogeymen couldn't craft a backdoor for your FPGA CPU, since the FPGA is just a 'blank slate' until programmed so they have no idea even what to attack beforehand. The chip could be literally anything once programmed. FPGAs by design have to faithfully implement the basic gates, with no jiggery-pokery, otherwise it would be evident immediately that something was up. Right?
If you're willing to learn a bit of tech self-support :), consider running your own server box with NextCloud -- there are calendar, media player plugins, etc. There are Android and iOS Nextcloud drive clients, a news reader, ...
It's not all quite as slick as Google Photos/Drive and so on, but very very usable.
Another alternative is the Proton suite (Protonmail, ProtonVPN, Proton Calendar, Drive, ...) they do charge a small amount but you get their added security.
Except for that one billionaire's son who was likely coerced into going with Dad and didn't fully understand the risks ... :( but otherwise, - yup -
