No, you would not pay $333k in taxes. You would add $333k to your taxable income for the year, and then pay regular tax rates on your total income.

If you made $500k in capital gains and had no other income that year, then by extremely rough estimation (I’m too lazy to pull out a calculator to get the exact figure) you would only be paying somewhere in the ballpark of $60k in federal taxes, then another $20k-$30k based on what province you live in. All things considered, that’s like a 17% effective rate, which is too damn low if you ask me.

And that’s only on amounts greater than $250k. So anyone this change actually affects is going to be fine. The people complaining about it are straight up lying.

A really common issue with sway is that it doesn’t run as a login shell, so none of your .profile or other environment settings get sourced when you login. I think that might be the problem here.

Try closing your sway session, then login to a tty and run sway. If the qt themes work properly then it’s definitely an environment issue.

Points are completely invisible in list view.

That’s not really a fair comparison. Robber barons got to build statues and skyscrapers as testaments to their own vanity, meanwhile recorded music was still in the process of being invented. Even so, I’ll make the point that names like Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky are equally as recognizable.

Definitely looks like the AI has been sending her transcripts of the vacation it’s been attending with her family.

Fellow Arch user here (btw). It’s exactly the same as building AUR packages. Clone a git repo containing a PKGBUILD, use makepkg to build it, and pacman to install it. The nice thing is you can host a repo of your built packages and install them on other systems really easily. The big downside is that dependency management is not automated, so it will take some time and annoyance to map out what packages you need to build and in what order, if you want a fully source-bootstrapped system.

I already don’t trust AI, there’s no way I’d want it to be the arbiter of potentially critical job-related information in a workplace. For probably less money than licensing and running an AI, a company could just hire a stenographer to sit in meetings all day, take notes, and send those notes to concerned parties. Better yet, why not get certain people to send info directly via email, instead of scheduling a bunch a pointless meetings. How’s that for innovation

It doesn’t sound like the whole mall is getting shut down, I think it’s just a few specific stores and I assume it’s due to some long-deferred maintenance issues in a certain section of the building.

Interestingly, checking the zoning map reveals that this area is already zoned for mixed use, so redevelopment isn’t too far off anyway. As long as they don’t spring for yet another seniors’ living block, it will be an upgrade for sure.

Flanagan is the one who called the police and deserves all the vitriol he’s getting for it. I think it’s also important to remember that the President is appointed by, and reports to the Board of Governors, who have a similarly ghoulish track record over the past 5 years. The top brass of this institution is all rotten and is only getting worse by the day.

I think this is a good enough reason to actually put in some effort to phase out ipv4 and dhcp. There shouldn’t be a way for some random node on the network to tell my node what device to route traffic over. Stateless ipv6 for the win.

Banks having “sound” balance sheets while losing actual boatloads of money to sub-prime lending makes me a little nervous, having lived through the year 2008 and all.

She zeroed in on journalism schools and her thoughts that not enough conservative journalists and commentators have come out of those programs.

That has nothing to do with federal funding and everything to do with the current version of conservatism being completely idiotic.

Did nobody else’s CS department require a bunch of linear algebra courses? A vector is an element of vector space.

Magpies are the bird equivalent of that person everyone thinks is hot as long as they don’t say anything

Right? He can just smugly munch on an apple while thinking of low-iq rhetorical questions to interject with, and that’s the entirety of his politics. That’s all it takes to become champion of the reactionaries.

Honestly, huge shout out to the wave of enshittification crashing through Google and reddit and forcing me off their platforms. Decade-long debilitating addiction solved.

I kinda feel bad for the kid. I would absolutely hate if someone tried to use me as an excuse to get out of a huge mess of their own making. Sure, it sucks to not have your family there, but it’s not by the judge being “evil”. Trump engaged in criminal behaviour and that’s fully on him.

This might even be a good thing, now Barron can do one thing in his life without having his unscrupulous father show up and cause a disturbance.

That’s a massive blunder. There is about 0 chance the Cons are serious about finding “alternative plans” for climate policy. If they were, they wouldn’t be asking the likes of Danielle “blanket ban on renewables” Smith and Doug “let’s just develop the greenbelt” Ford for their ideas. Furthermore, if they think this tax is too much of an imposition on Canadians, then that rules out essentially all other forms of climate action, because the tax is one of the most conservative policies possible.

I’m not saying the carbon tax is perfect by any means, but up to the present, nobody opposed to it has been able to come up with a better idea, or even much of a coherent argument against it. I don’t know what the NDP are gaining from this deal, but I can’t see it being worth all the trust and credibility they had to concede.

The amount of effort spent whining about this tax on a national level is probably more than it would take to solve the damn climate crisis.

People will do just about anything to avoid the tiniest bit of self reflection.
