There almost needs to be another item in that list that is "Made in Canada by Canadians, with Canadian ingredients, but the company is not Canadian-owned" - i.e. Canadian Lay's chips are 100% made in Canada, so they get to put that label on their products, but the money still goes to PepsiCo.

Well, that's what happened and now you get extra genocide plus total capitulation to russia

Probably analogous to command economy? Basically all industry is centrally planned, so it's not company A decides it wants to make some widget and company b decides they want to use company A's widget in their new product that they've independently decided to make. The government says we need which needs , thus company A shall make and company B will use to make .

This is by no means an accurate representation of the whole system or an opinion on either, but just to give a simple idea of the difference.

Probably not for much longer :(

3d-printed concrete houses are already a thing, there's no need for human-like machines to build stuff. They can be purpose-built to perform whatever portion of the house-building task they need to do. There's absolutely no barrier today from having a hive of machines built for specific purposes build houses, besides the fact that no-one as of yet has stitched the necessary components together.

It's not at all out of the question that an AI can be trained up on a dataset of engineering diagrams, house layouts, materials, and construction methods, with subordinate AIs trained on the specific aspects of housing systems like insulation, roofing, plumbing, framing, electrical, etc. which are then used to drive the actual machines building the house. The principal human requirement at that point would be the need for engineers to check the math and sign-off on a design for safety purposes.

So long as we can rename New York back to New Amsterdam, people will like it better that way

When refining a process, it becomes exponentially more difficult and expensive the closer you get to 100% efficiency. 0-95% costs less than 95-99%, which costs less than 99%-99.99%

Store just has top-notch customer service, they knew what the drive would be used for and pre-loaded it :D

We should make vaginas illegal.

They're definitely working on it

In the end, if it's a valuable cert, that cert belongs to OP and can be used for future jobs, so personal time investment is acceptable.

If the cert is a "company cert" and is only usable within that company, then that's training for the job and should be provided on company time and dime.

The real shit deal is if there was a ruling against Meta in this, it would still be worse for everyone because there would be precedent to litigate against people who only consume pirated content (which has been tried in several countries and found to be legal)
