IIRC from stats n=32 is generally considered the minimum to be considered representative for a random sample (and this is not a random sample outside of the company in Amsterdam 🙄).

Is that why there's a fence around it now?

Is the "IP routing traffic" referring to, ARP or BGP or which other protocol?

That's not what I said or implied. Why don't you state your argument?

I don't think people are downvoting a fact; I think they're downvoting a comment which doesn't meaningfully contribute to the discussion, since by your own admission it's a just a fact and a fact without context or stated implications is virtually meaningless.

Depends on your definition of "better". Better bitrate and quality? Yes. But that comes at the cost of reduced range (since it's more dependent on a good connection to the source device).

LDAC or bust, homie.

IPTV is the name of the pirated cable TV streams. Personally, I consider commercialized piracy to be a bit distasteful compared to the free and open source route, and I have the know how to self host my own streaming service.

Although it's not piracy, another free option to consider for live TV, if you're within range of TV broadcasters, is a digital TV antenna. I'm looking into that since not only is it free and legal, it's also the best picture quality, not compressed like IPTV (legit or pirated) or even cable.

Do you realize that 67% does not refer to the tax rate, but rather the amount of capital gains that are taxed as income? Meaning that the remaining 33% are always completely tax free?

Example: you sell an investment property for $2,000,000 which you had previously bought for $1,000,000. Your annual salary is $75,000.

In this example, of the $1,000,000 capital gain, 50% of the first $250,000 ($125k) is taxable and 67% of the remaining $750,000 ($500k) is taxable. So, add $625k to your salaried income of $75k and your total taxable income is $700,000.

The total income tax you would pay after the proposed increase (assuming you live in Ontario) is $342,103, which is $320,405 more than you would have normally paid on your salary of $75,000. Therefore, your effective tax rate on the $1M capital gain is roughly 32%, not the 60% you mentioned in your comment.

There has certainly been a correlation for being black and being charged with possession of weed if that's what you mean.

I never understood the logic behind that. What's the reason for it?

Are we afraid that all of the criminals will form a Crime Party and campaign to legalize burglary and murder? 😈

Or do we think the type of person who would commit a violent crime is going to be incentivized to not commit a crime because of losing their right to vote, in a country where half the people don't vote anyway?

Before I mug this old lady, I really should consider that this upcoming election has huge ramifications and I really don't want to risk losing my right to vote. I don't mind jail, community service, or monetary fines; it's voting that might prevent me from commiting this offense. 🤓

No, I think it's more likely that some people don't want other people who are disproportionately convicted of crimes (you know, those people) to have a voice.

Is your name a dig at Lemony Snickett?

I can already imagine the Tom Clancy thriller where some Joe Nobody gets roped into helping crack a terrorist's locked phone because his face looks just like the terrorist's.

Which part of diversity, equity and inclusion are you opposed to? Or do the quotes mean that Ubisoft is doing something nefarious in the name of DEI and I'm out of the loop?

So the American flag signals the virtue of capitalism, or at least anti-communism?

What virtues does the American flag represent to you?

Whistle goes, "Woo, woo," but that's only in the mo'ning.

This is partly why I prefer Firefox's implementation of the find feature - it allows case-sensitive search while Chrome does not support it.

Surely the word 'in' would appear countless times out of context on the table of contents.
