Essentially, a mandate for automated cert renewals. Not a bad thing.

I think something like this is obviously the future. I'm looking forward to writing into some UI "schedule a dental cleaning appointment ASAP any nearby clinic" for it to just work.

Moot point because Trudeau basically banned all news from being shared on Facebook

You can still follow individual reporters posting their own content. For example I can access both https://www.instagram.com/wizard_bisan1/ or https://www.instagram.com/clarissawardcnn/, etc.

But I can not access the organization pages like https://www.instagram.com/cnn/

Trudeau didn't ban news on FB, FB banned news posted to Canada because they don't want to pay publishers.

Surrounded by scandals, Trudeau passed a law that had an oh-so-unintentional side-effect of hiding news from many people’s primary news source.

It’s hard to not be cynical about it.

I can't say I miss it; Facebook is actually usable now and shouldn't be anyone's primary news source.

The dude lurches from one sound bite to another with policy so shallow it barely looks at first order effects.

I'm sure the impact was fully unintentional. Very welcome after the fact. But still unintentional

Expecting Facebook or Google to pay publishers is like going back in time to 1970 and saying that a newsstand should be paying newspaper publishers for the privilege of selling their papers.

Google agreed to the terms. They're paying $100 million per year to the Canadian Journalism Collective.

No. Canada passed a law requiring Facebook to pay news media for links. Meta said no, we aren't going to do that and banned news instead.

You can argue that this was a predictable response by Meta or that it was a stupid law, but it was not a ban.

It’s insane how fighting a DMCA notice can have serious consequences, but sending frivolous DMCA notices does not.

There is penalties but as noted in the article: Following the complaint, the defendants, who are believed to reside in Vietnam, were summoned via their Gmail accounts and SMS. However, the pair remained quiet and didn’t respond in court.

This is pretty common problem many companies face. Overseas abusers of the legal process. We have this problem at work because if we don’t respond to and they are not overseas, it would be massive liability.

The consequences are being sued. Turns out though that this is ineffective, as you need incentive, resources, and time to take that action. If Google had asked for damages, maybe it would have kicked off an Ambulance Chasing industry, but for now we have no idea of how profitable it would be.

Would you feel the same about a kill shelter called "save the kittens inc"?

Troisieme is the third when counting. “Tiers” is the third when taking a fraction.

I can only speak to modern french though.

That got me curious, and according to the French Wikipedia, he was originally called "Letiers" (with the same etymological explanation) before he renamed himself "Lethiers" and finally "Lethière". Seems to hold up.

"Tiers" can mean "third" in a sense other than fractions. E.g. Le Tiers-Etat (the Third Estate in the Ancien Regime) and "un tiers" ("a third party").

They meant https://hn.algolia.com/

Because improvements in technology would decrease expenses at a rate faster than inflation.

Im guessing that was the idea.
