Very sad to hear of Dan Dennett's passing, I remember with great fondness the wonderful far-ranging conversation we had on AI, creativity, qualia, and of course consciousness, including Theseus's ship as regards to AI. He was a great thinker, and will be much missed.

Affordability of market housing is a property of the housing system, not individual units. Capping or cutting back new housing hurts system-wide affordability. Effects of capping individual buildings are small, but if these planning restrictions are systemic they aggregate.

Exactly why should private banks be forced to participate in Liberal branding? There is no policy basis to this. It is strictly in support of the govt’s partisan interests. Carbon rebate labelling in bank deposits fuelling confusion, minister says globalnews.ca/news/10434572/…
Good morning with good news: Battery recycling by Redwood cuts environmental cost of EV materials as much as 80%. "95% of the key minerals in batteries" can be profitably recycled. Redwood will produce in US key material for 1.3 million EVs by 2028! bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Unfortunately the catastrophic falling birth rate is real and housing density is a factor. One of the solutions is to rezone for apartments that seniors can live in comfortably and affordably - freeing up kids friendly single family homes #housingcrisis #cdnpoli #cityplanning #

Actually, it's baffling Poilievre would oppose Eby's approach - i.e. going after the gatekeepers, Dimitri. The housing crisis started a long time ago in BC and Eby also took some time to pivot from his left-NIMBY approach to the current YIMBY one. But thank God he did!
Justin Trudeau touts the NDP “solution” to the housing crisis??? Way to pick the province with the most out of control housing costs as the model. We long ago stopped thinking about what this government can do for us and now think about what they are doing TO us.
Very sad to hear that the philosopher Daniel Dennett has died. He was a hero of mine and his book, Consciousness Explained, was quite wonderful. I interviewed him on The Life Scientific back in 2017 bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08…
Affordability of market housing is a property of the housing system, not individual units. Capping or cutting back new housing hurts system-wide affordability. Effects of capping individual buildings are small, but if these planning restrictions are systemic they aggregate.
If you think that council was wrong to nix the last minute attempt to decrease the height of 171 Lowther at community request then I'll just point you to this @vb_jens article about the costs to renters of routine trimming of development applications doodles.mountainmath.ca/posts/2024-04-…
I like this part of the short term rental regulations. The option to opt out if a city has more than 3% vacancy signals that there’s nothing wrong with short term rentals per se, we just need to resolve the housing shortage. castanet.net/news/West-Kelo…
Prediction: Governments will crack down on money laundering and mortgage fraud, and the impact will be... essentially unnoticeable Obviously the less fraud the better & we should crack down, but just as with empty homes or airbnb or foreign buyers, the magnitude is overestimated
Money laundering in 🇨🇦 is a five alarm fire right now and we have all of 545 ppl at FINTRAC. The agency is toothless 2x as many work @ Library/Archives Canada and more in Atlantic Opportunities Agency than at FINTRAC. No offense to Atlantic Canada, but you know... #Priorities
The great Daniel Dennett is gone. I learned so much from his thinking. He is leaving a big gap in contemporary philosophy of mind.
Thank you Cali!
We were thrilled to partner with @CalChamber for a discussion on securing prosperity in North America, featuring former US Ambassador to Canada @BruceAHeyman. #TeamCanadaUSA
For context: at the beginning of 2021, installed battery capacity in California was a rounding error. Now it's cranking out the equivalent power output as six nuclear reactors when grid operators and markets call. That happened fast (and a lot more to come!)
Two things happened on the @California_ISO grid last night. 1) Battery storage discharge went over 6GW for the first time AND 2) Batteries were the largest source of supply.
Had the good fortune to connect with @BarryPenner1 and show him around #Odense, #Denmark today. Great to catch up have a few laughs and chat about the world and #bcpoli over dinner. An evening well spent.
@PatrikMuncaster @UBCM @BCLegislature Yep. That was a factor in this building.
Another major boost to defence investment by the smallest AUKUS partner, taking them well above 2% of GDP. 🇨🇦🧐
Australia is to increase defence spending by more than A$50bn (US$32bn) over the next decade as it prepares its military forces to be able to “resist coercion” that may arise in the Indo-Pacific. ft.com/content/a5ba1e…

Globe’s @JohnIbbitson: if this government and whatever comes after it meet the commitments contained in this budget, we will finally be starting down the road to rebuilding Canada’s military. Even if, compared to most others, it still isn’t nearly enough. theglobeandmail.com/politics/opini…
Ravi Kahlon: "It is certainly my expectation that CoV will align to our site standards and maybe even go beyond that. [...] our goal was to raise the floor but not set the ceiling." CoV staff: "Skrew that, we go for the maximum level of exclusion that we can get away with."
Alright, I don't want to talk about Tesla/TSLA/Elon any more. None of them are what we were sold they would be. Since I realized this, I haven't wanted to talk about Tesla so much any more, and cut down my YouTubing. I don't intentionally want to say negative things about…
There are literally dozens, maybe hundreds of reports & papers on various types and stringencies of carbon pricing impacts in Canada going back to the 00s, with every conceivable permutation of price schedule, recycling method, coverage, complementary policies and US background.
Premier Smith claims that no academics studied carbon price effectiveness and indirect impacts on the economy. I found two papers after a few minutes of googling that answer her question, which I entered into the record. @GK_Fellows @dr_jen_winter
PSA: Before you boost a tiktok chart about housing, at least take a breath and actually look at it to see if it's obviously doctored data. You aren't helping housing (or your own reputation) when you boost obvious misinformation just because it matches your priors.
Good morning with good news: There is a 70% chance global CO2 emissions start falling in 2024 says research by Climate Analytics. Wind & solar growth could peak coal in 2023 and gas in 2024. EV growth may cause peak oil in 2025. 50 countries peaked total GHG emissions by 2015!
