A) tax revenues greater than 10% of the market (e.g revenues over 10 billion dollars get taxed in a 100 billion dollar market regardless of income)

B) the government should fund the development of more wholesale markets.

I used to subscribe to that idea, in that I didn't want extremists to have a platform, but it seems like they got one anyway.

Now I'm of the mind we need to lean further into democracy. Some thoughts:

I think part of democracy is concensus building - how can we build large majorities around policies we care about? The media does somewhat 'naturally' gravitate towards wedge 50/50 issues. We should be putting these aside until we reach larger agreement, and focus on the issues more of us agree on, I find it hard to believe there aren't enough of these to keep folks busy.

We need to accept that democracy has cost and can be slow - but it is the way regardless.

Federal government should probably be handing some powers down to provinces, provinces should be handing powers down to municipalities (or giving them back in some cases). Instead of a thin pool of insiders, a broader pipeline of leaders.

We need to ask more of our politicians but also give more.

And yes electoral reform.

I haven't read, but read a brief summary. Thanks for sharing.

It felt unintuitive to me at first. Why would two incomes be more risky than a single income? But yeah if one of those two become incapicated/unable to find work.. you are screwed since you need both. Single income you essentially have a backup (assuming they can find work)

So, reduced work week would free up needed time and reduce convenience costs, but families are still exposed.

But I don't want to go back to a single income household at a societal level (doesn't sound like EW did either). Tricky.

This is definitely a contributor, but declining fertility rates isn't a new thing.

I think the largest problem is average hours worked per parent has been increasing for 60 plus years.

We need more full time jobs at 30 hours a week or so.

Yeah, after reading a bit into it. It seems like most of the work is up front, pre filtering and classifying before it hits the model, to your point the model training part is expensive...

I think broadly though, the idea that they are just including the kitchen sink into the models without any consideration of source quality isn't true

Good points. What's novel information vs. wrong information? (And subtly wrong is harder to understand than very wrong)

At some point it's hitting a user who is giving feedback, but I imagine data lineage once it gets to the end user its tricky to understand.

If I'm creating a corpus for an LLM to consume, I feel like I would probably create some data source quality score and drop anything that makes my model worse.

Seems like a bad brand decision by Spotify.

You want to be known as the place of knockoff musicians?

The bans are for under 16s, not just 7 year olds. Parents don't control all internet activity for 15 years, at that age they are going to have some autonomy outside of the house.

I'm not sure there is a direct irl analog when it comes to controlling digital spaces, since they are personal by nature. and I think this is where the debate comes in.

Should parents be following their teenage child into every store to make sure they aren't buying alcohol?

I get the concern with providing social media companies a government ID, I certainly would never give them one! I would just not use them. But they provide net negative value in my opinion so no loss.

I like the idea of FOSS parental controls.

Not to say it's never the parents fault...

There is precedence though. We age gate: nicotine, alcohol, gambling etc..

we shouldnt expect parents to be monitoring children 24/7. actually, as children get older they should be given freedoms, parents have the right to expect our society has some guardrails.

Maybe we should do this anyway. Here is a thought:

Can we build out competencies in drones and use them for cargo payload delivery in territories to subsidize delivery and drive down costs for food, medicine and other goods in the north?

This wouldn't necessarily be cost effective for the Canadian government, but it would be strategic in that we would...

be developing technologies (batteries, computer vision, flight),

having utility and real world usage.

expressing Northern sovereignty.

A thought, I'm not fully versed in the logistic challenges in remote communities.
