And yet this does not include this past months’ three major hurricanes or 76 wildfires in nine Western states. Those economic losses alone are estimated to top $300 billion, the report notes. Putting it in perspective, $300 billion is enough money to provide free tuition for the 13.5 million U.S. students enrolled in public colleges and universities for four years. When climate change starts effecting the bottom line, will that make some of these holdout corporations sit up and take notice?

Once again the government shows its complete lack of understanding when it comes to technology.

I love this tip. Here’s how to do it: Bring up Apple Maps. Double-tap in the map, but on the second tap, don’t lift your finger. So tap-lift-tap-leave. Now slide up or down to zoom in and out. This is really handy. source

when you follow the news via social media, you’re relying on other people bringing you the news, unless you’re following individual news stories. RSS is like getting your newspaper of choice delivered to the front door rather than relying on heading down to the local bar to listen in on what everyone’s shouting about. source

Today’s episode of The Daily was really depressing. It perfectly describes how most people would rather believe a story that reinforces their view of the world rather than the truth. This allows people to be easily manipulated and controlled, which I find fascinating, but mostly disturbing. What happened to don’t believe everything you read? With more and more information starting to come out about Russia’s Facebook ads, it’s clear that Russia perfectly understands how to manipulate and control the US population. This will probably get way worse before it gets any better.

Michael Geist: “The Bell proposals (which sit alongside broadcast distribution proposals that would enshrine simultaneous substitution in NAFTA and create the prospect of blocked U.S. channels under a consent model) suggest that the company’s position as a common carrier representing the concerns of ISPs and their subscribers is long over. Instead, Bell’s copyright advocacy goes beyond what even some U.S. rights holders have called for, envisioning new methods of using copyright law to police the Internet with oversight from the CRTC and implementing such provisions through NAFTA.”
