  • You don’t know how Cisco is triangulating your laptop’s position from APs in range, do ya? It’s 2015 tech, and it’s insane.

    Being able to see where everyone’s cell phone is in the middle of an open-air concert … and whether and where it has been on the muni network since … has been valuable for cops looking to question a potential witness.

    But yeah, if you’re reading this in the company loo, your IT people probably know, if they cared. They don’t care.

    Hell, knowing when the boss’s phone lights up on the site wifi was great for ambushing him with a purc req first-thing. …or so I hear.

    TL;DR: they don’t need to know which IP range you’re on, as their layer-1 has already ratted you out.


  • would have to give up quite a bit of their sovereignty which would be a hard sell politically.

    You say that like we don’t want to work together.

    But I’m sure provinces in Germany and Spain get to have their own squabbles like our petty ones.

    10 exceptions to their rules.

    Provinces needing their snowflake exceptions get annexed by America. If the UK could join the EU there’s nothing stopping us but nostalgia; and I hear that’s not a strategy anymore.

    Ultimately, we’re gonna have to one day decide whether we’re Canadian and quit the in-fighting. If we can’t learn the lesson of Queenston Heights then we deserve what we get.






  • Their leader is an international banker.

    … in a trade war. Stupid like a fox.

    They definitely are not smarter than we are

    We do present differently, though.

    Do we think that more than 46% of us read above a 6th-grade level? Yes, at 87% ‘scoring PIAAC level 2 or higher’, so that’s one metric. Most tertiary education? We’re doing a little better there, too (65% vs 51%). Electing pedos? Still eking ahead; and I’m calling that an intelligence test.

    But you can surely find areas where Canadians don’t score highly, and that’s going to be okay. We don’t need to be the winner.
