    Trudeau hopes a 'silent majority' is still willing to listen
  • If the NDP and/or LPC only run candidates in ridings they're likely to win, that could help them elect both more NDP MPs and more LPC MPs, possibly keeping PP at bay. Of course that won't happen and we're gonna get vote split instead.

    VMware Workstation Shifting From Proprietary Code To Using Upstream KVM
  • There's a WIP VirtIO driver in a PR but it's not done yet. VMware's own VMSVGA is open source if I remember correctly. I wonder if they'll adapt it to KVM and if they do, whether that'll be usable in KVM without VMware.

    Iran preparing major retaliatory strike from Iraq within days, Israeli intel suggests.
  • Most of the world yes. But in this one where the quantities, types and prices of the bombs used literally depend on the American election, it probably influences decision-making.

    Iran preparing major retaliatory strike from Iraq within days, Israeli intel suggests.
  • I don't know why would Iran attack before the election since that could boost Trump's chances and Trump would be worse for them. Perhaps this is an attempt by Israel to nudge the election towards him?

    Are some rents in Canada part of a price-fixing scheme?
  • Erm, how's this different than a vendor looking over at the other vendor's prices and setting their own to match? That wouldn't be price fixing. To be clear I am not advocating for the market, rather highlighting this flaw isn't captured by the standard price fixing idea yet it has the same effect. And there isn't a market solution to it, rather as you suggest, intervention is needed.

    > Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as "people of faith," responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The "people of faith" label is given to those who identify with a recognized religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism or Islam.

    > The study found that approximately 104 million people under the "people of faith" umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million who regularly go to church.

    > Lewis notes that although over 30 missiles landed inside the base perimeter, the damage caused was still somewhat limited. That's notable because Iran is believed to have used some of its most advanced Fattah missiles.

    On Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford held forth on the topic of homelessness, repeating his long-articulated view that many of those receiving government support should be working.

    > “Get an application and drop it off (at) one of these companies and start working, you need to start working if you’re healthy — bottom line — if you’re unhealthy, I’ll take care of you the rest of my life, your life, we’ll take care of you,” the premier said. > > “But if you’re healthy, get off your A-S-S and start working like everyone else is.”
