It's a wonder he doesn't use American spelling. Carney went to Harvard undergrad, as did his rival in the Liberal leadership contest to succeed Trudeau earlier this year before the election.

Put another way, neither Carney nor Freeland has a post-high school degree of any kind from a Canadian school.

>they don't have a history of reckless reporting or shady practices like catch-and-kill a la the National Enquirer

TIL that the 'National Enquirer' was the most reliable news source during the O. J. Simpson murder trial. According to a Harvard law professor who gave the media an overall failing grade, the 'Enquirer' was the only publication that thoroughly followed every rumor and talked to every witness. <https://np.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/6n1kz5/til_th...>

The Enquirer also broke the John Edwards (vice-presidential candidate) affair story well before mainstream media picked it up. That doesn't make up for the reckless and sometimes completely nutso stories they print, but it is a reminder that they aren't always wrong.

That’s going a little far, I think. The Enquirer was mentioned during jury selection and not for facts. When the defense wanted to leak a story, they went to the New Yorker.

That was an eternity ago. They’re no longer worth anything in terms of reputation.

They were never worth anything in terms of reputation, hence the "TIL"

Magnificent! The number of in-jokes and sage references is astounding.

I understand Gemini created the code itself, but did it also write the text?

Mostly, I gave it some feedback and steered it a little but it's 99% percent Gemini 3. It would be interesting to make something like this "live" in that it could simulate each day of 1995 (say) anew, updating each morning.

Nance had been retired from the US military for two decades when he joined the Ukrainian military.

I had heard of the blacklist, but thought that it was for those who deserted the Irish military to join the British. Punishing deserters is understandable, no matter the motive.

That said, if I understand the article correctly, those who did this were punished worse than deserters who did not go fight?!?

The one big hardware deficiency of my Nvidia Shield TV is its lack of YouTube AV1 support.

2015 article; year not added to title because of length restriction. Title edited by me from "I'm a Gilmore Girl! Why is series set in sleepy smalltown American so beloved by women across the world?".

The article says that the fraud was so systematic and widespread that the state of Minnesota had to shut the entire program down. That's how bad it was.

As mfro said, Alpha. DEC never manufactured MIPS processors; it bought them from (amazingly enough) MIPS Inc, and used them from 1989 in DECstation RISC boxes.

DEC launched its own RISC architecture, Alpha, in 1992. I'm pretty sure DECstation was discontinued by 1995. DEC never did deliver OSF/1, its next-generation Unix, to DECstation despite promising to do so.

There was a similar visit by the prime minister when Costco arrived a few years ago. <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/costco-prime-minister-tours-we...>
