The article above is about US ISP ordered to block sites for US customer. Not 'globally' enforced. Important difference.

Ofcourse, everybody ( well, outside the UK ) are OK if UK orders UK ISPs blocks sites for their customers.

IP is often enough to correlate things. LittleSnich or whatever is no help - oftentimes data is collected by the app/site directly, and then funneled to various systems via kafka-like brokers. In this case you always have only cobbections to something like cool-application-domain.au

Unlikely. Also it doesn't work well where it needed in the EU.

> But when this happens to the educated professional class, all hell breaks loose.

If the programmers fall into the "educated professional class", then no, not in Canada. I personally know people with engineering/science degrees who became "warehouse sorters", baristas, metal workers, parcel deliverers, cooks in cafeteria. Some of them eventually found programming jobs again, others are still employed in blue collar/service jobs after 3+ years.

Stop promoting overpopulation. The USA adds ~1.8 million of people every year. That's one more Phoenix city, every year.

Let's compare two countries at the same level of development.

Canada has 14 tonnes carbon footprint per person. Canada is a cold country.

France has 8 tonnes carbon footprint per person. Climate is way warmer.

We can't continue adding population and the wondering what is going on.

My kids were born long before Obama took the office.

What's your point again? That president can't control the quality of the food in the country under their control?
