  • Note that these aren't polls taken in each riding. 338 takes the voting data of the riding in previous elections and then uses national and province-wide polls (which are broken down by voter demographics and how people voted previously) to predict how voter intention is changing. So for example a middle class white riding that voted mostly NDP previously is going to be predicted more Liberal when Canada-wide polls are showing that the Liberals are polling well with the white middle class and former NDP voters.

  • He intentionally dodged ethical review and the law, the consent forms he had the parents' sign obfuscated the nature of the treatment, the experimental treatment offered no benefit over the currently used treatment to prevent HIV transmission from the father (sperm washing), the parents likely only agreed because the law prevented them from otherwise having biological children (IVF isn't available to HIV+ patients in China), the high risk of modifying non-target genes was well known, and he knew that the gene he introduced is believed to be linked to neurological differences.

  • Hey, there's plenty of benefits to UEFI! You can boot from different partitions of the same drive without setting up grub, you can uhh.. um.... you can use the mouse

  • I'm honestly a little skeptical here. Yeah it shouldn't be difficult for regulated professionals to begin working in another province but idk about a blanket exemption. There's stuff like the National Board Exam for oral health practitioners that's unified across all the provinces' regulatory colleges, but not every profession has that and even in that case clinical requirements vary and aren't all held to the same standard of accreditation. Regulated professions are entirely a provincial responsibility and the colleges are organized along provincial lines, so I don't see how you can say that someone in one province is as qualified as someone in another without further harmonization.

    Also I don't see how removing liquor restrictions is gonna do anything but weaken the State monopolies and control regimes, but considering Ford's war on the LCBO I'm not surprised.

  • There's been memes on Chinese social media since at least 2020 calling him Comrade Chuān Jiànguó (川建国) and saying he's working to destroy the US to China's benefit. Chuan is just a sinicized form of Trump and Jianguo is a given name from the first decades of the PRC (Trump's generation) that means "to build/found the [Chinese] nation"

  • The upper row is from the EU's Directive 67/548/EEC which has since been replaced with the international GHS (oddly enough a UN standard instead of ISO). The lower ones are in fact the DOT symbols from the US rather than the very similar GHS transport symbols (including the UN numbers). No idea where this figure showing EU-specific hazards for containers and US-specific hazards for transport together would've come from.
