Which would be a bad news for Quebec because it wouldn't be possible anymore to communicate with people from France and other French-speaking countries.
Right, just like it's impossible for an English speaking Canadian to communicate with people from Japan or Germany. I mean
To me the fundamental issue at hand is the role of the government and individual freedom and liberty. My operating definition of liberty is an environment in which all interpersonal relations are consensual.
In order for two parties to communicate with each other, there must first be an intent to communicate. When that intent exists, the mechanisms will be negotiated between those parties.
For a 3rd party to enter the picture and dictate the mechanisms under threat of force is morally wrong in my opinion. There is no justification for that.
The only narrow area that I can think of is when government adopts a policy that says "For the purposes of communicating with the government, specifically, these are the languages that we promise to support."
That is no different than private individuals saying "If you want to communicate with me, these are the languages and tools that you can use to reach me."
I don't know what makes business so "special" or different that you would hold them to a standard above that of the government. Food labels? You might as well say that a company is required by law to print food labels in every single language that exists on the planet... as their may be some customer that walks into the store that doesn't speak English or French (to keep this within Canada). That would be absurd.
Government's job is not to "protect" a language. Government's job is to protect the rights of each and every individual that exists within it's operating jurisdiction. Those rights include the right to express yourself freely and to associate freely. Compelling that communication between private individuals take a specific form is to infringe upon the rights of those individuals.
There is no "middle ground" here. Either two parties are able to communicate using whatever means THEY chose, or some other 3rd party is interfering forcibly under threat of punishment. That latter scenario is not "middle ground", it's the illegitimate initiation of force against individuals who are just living their lives and going about their business. The fact that they are choosing to do so using a language or tool set that you don't like or approve of is none of your business and doesn't hurt you in any way. Go read a book or something and stop worrying so much about the private lives of others, you authoritarian nutter.
This is literally what "Two Santas" refers to. There is a name for it, and it is deliberate and intentional. Republicans don't overspend and undertax when they have power because they are bad at governing, they do it because they are evil, because it puts money in the pockets of their base AND it gives them leverage to harm their opponents when they lose power. It's a NOW and LATER, it is two Santas.

Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black.
step 1: enhance workers productivity
step 2: ????
step 3: entire society profit?!
Important distinction, NRA is 501(c)(4) organization while Wikipedia is 501(c)(3) charity.
Carry on with your comparison of apples and oranges.
Openpilot is also level 2. You know what else is level 2 and damn good at driving? Kia/Hyundai. Another is Ford (copilot360) and GM (blue cruise). Yeah this is a conspiracy to only support Tesla.
As an open pilot developer this is awesome and wonderful news. My autonomous vehicle is already legally compliant in my state, now I am unburdened from federal regulatory red tape when someone crashes into my (safe driving) vehicle
But yeah F Tesla amirite?
All I could picture was an old sweaty man sitting behind a computer monitor typing the avatar response. LOL
You are not the target audience that Op is describing. Kudos to you for keeping your technical chops up, but what about the topic of the post - people who don't or can't keep up? Or is it a requirement that at a revenue of 200-400k you should know how to setup ZFS on your NAS? Hot take if that is what you mean..
After my first job, no one has ever asked about my degree. They ask me about my work.
We have a society where everyone wants to be right; we need a society where everyone wants to be correct.
and plenty that don't.
I think you will find that's a non issue. Since is solvable.
