I’ve spent time in sntsk’il’ntən, and one of the things I’ve observed is the amount of orchard and cattle fencing in the area that blocks larger animals from using the obvious corridors. In some places, animals moving through the area would have to climb a significant way up Black Mountain just to get around the fences.

It’s better than nothing, but the corridor definitely doesn’t track the actual traditional routes the animals would choose to take.

That said, the bears still use their old routes and routinely knock over any fences that get in their way, so there is that.

Northeast BC… so we’re talking in Peace River country / Alberta Lite? Or west of Fort Nelson?

I remember watching the specially selected news as the events unfolded, and as a teenager who could think critically, not be able to reconcile the statements of what was going on with the facts of what had led up to the confrontation. The question that kept coming to mind over and over again was “wait… why doesn’t the Mohawk Nation own the golf course? Why is an outside government getting involved at all?”

And then the shot was fired.

I still think the town having a carve-out of the established treaty lands is all sorts of underhanded, and trying to then eminent domain further lands for a parking lot… it’s sad that the situation hasn’t really improved much since then.

For decades, many computer scientists have presumed that for practical purposes, the outputs of good hash functions are generally indistinguishable from genuine randomness — an assumption they call the random oracle model.

Er, no. The falsity of this is taught in virtually all first year CS courses.

Computer programmers and other IT workers? Sure… but hash functions have never been considered a substitute fore pure randomness.

That’s why we have a random generator in each computer based on thermal variance, I/O input, and other actually random features. And even then, we have to be careful not to hash the randomness out of the source data.

Because of the increasing gap between wages and property values?

Or… they just completely ignore it?

If you’re going to be labeled a socialist and commie sympathizer no matter what you do, why not just run on your platform and brush off the accusations as political hubris?

Well, for starters, if all these people left, the only ones still at ICE would be there for one very obvious reason, that has nothing to do with immigration.

Well, in BC, there’s new light rail partially funded by the federal government currently being built out to Langley from Vancouver, and new builds of townhomes and apartments are all over the place.

So… yes?

Something to do with ballet?

Carry CHAINS?

And those status reports will be generated by AI, because that’s where the real savings is.

So you treated it like a junior developer and did a thorough review of its output.

I think the only disagreement here is on the semantics.
