I'm always hoping for a safety car at this point in a race.
I'm always amazed that somehow has a first world nation we have this shit. When my kids had COVID there was nothing for a fever and there were guides on how to split pills for kids.
Just use our purchasing power to import it from some other country and ignore the red tape.
I'll say this, I'm dreaming of the day that my kids are in school as it seems so much cheaper compared to things like day care. A once a year bill for $550 per family seems like a frigging steal compared to like $3000/month for years and years.
But the news org provides that summary with the page to Facebook... it's part of the Open Graph Protocol which... is for facebook. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Platform#Open_Graph_protocol
Lets look at the source of a CBC News story.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-variant-ba-2-86-1.6943005
property="og:description" content="A highly mutated variant of the virus behind COVID-19 has popped up in multiple countries, but scientists aren't yet sure whether it will fuel a fall wave of infections or simply fizzle out."/>
So if the news companies are upset that Facebook is showing a summary... maybe stop providing a summary to facebook explicitly in your code?
I find this outrage so funny. "Hey you give me $500 for this used Timmies cup?" "No" "How dare you!"
Why would Meta / Google want to pay 250+ million dollars a year to link to news sites? Do you think they're generating billions of dollars in revenue from those links?
McGrath pays $661 for her downtown Hamilton apartment she's lived in over 20 years.
This is the problem with rent control... McGrath is being subsidized by new renters, as someone has to pay for maintenance, taxes, etc.
I hope the situation is better over there than in Ontario. Sure day care is getting cheaper for those who have it. However there is basically no availability to the point where I have a nanny for my kids.
When the wait lists are years.... what the hell is the point. Should you register before your planning on getting pregnant?
less than 1.5 litres of wine or less than 3.5 litres of beer or less than 450 millilitres of spirits per week.
The WHO considers that light? Holy crap... so if you're drinking 2 bottles of wine yourself per week you're a "light drinker"
The article says "Financial markets data firm Refinitiv says Telus had 108,500 workers at the end of last year."
So what you're saying is there is no model besides complete subsidy for news to exist?
It would be impossible for them to you know build a subscription model where you get access to all of their news sites for one fee? Kinda like credit unions do with their ATM networks.
Perhaps offering better value to consumers and incentivize upsells rather than demote them. As someone who had a paper version of the economist they tried /real/ hard to convert me to digital only. Which is a far worse value proposition.
Sure, but here there are many communities about subjects instead of one.
