How do they try to steal your phone number?

I've only contacted buyers/sellers in FB Marketplace via FB Messenger so they don't even have my number ..

I've written a bunch of LMS integrations so I've had the opportunity to use all of the major LMSs. Basically, all LMS systems are rather user unfriendly and complicated with a ton of customization options hidden under layers of sub-menus/configuration settings. At their core they provide a grade book, student management tools, and some basic CMS type functionality for posting class messages/coursework/etc. They've all adopted a standard for interacting with external tools (LTI).

Canvas generally is the 'easiest' to use, and the 'cleanest' looking one although D2L Brightspace is pretty good too. Moodle out of the box is pretty confusing and ugly, but I've seen some heavily customized instances that look a lot better. Blackboard is the worst of the bunch IMO.

Facebook marketplace is an everything shop, though a bit more local in nature. Also, it's much easier for small businesses that ship to have an online store thanks to Shopify, etc.

The last few times I've used EBay is to get parts for old garden tractors, and even for that I've found cheaper options with small retailers that specialize in that stuff. Most ebay shipping pushes the cost up too much, and with the small retailers usually I can get a bunch of things I need at the same shipping price.

LiamTronix on Youtube has some videos (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iEUp5Z1aNw) on converting a popular farm tractor (Massey Ferguson 65) to fulling electric.

Fun stuff!

It can be that but all the major manufacturers have a ton of trim levels and options. Personally I drive a f150 that doesn't even have power windows.

Most Cybertrucks I've seen in the wild are running at a low ground clearance, reminiscent of a 'coupe utility' vehicle like an El Camino.

> 40% of code is now machine-written

How did you arrive at that number?

It has similar syntax, but adding explicit types and macros it's a very different language in practice.

IMO the two languages can be quite complimentary, I've been exploring using Crystal + MRuby to create apps, it's been fun so far.

It doesn't matter what you or I want. How much money do you think the Canadian government should put behind a domestic auto maker? 10s of billions? 100s of billions?

How much are 125k manufacturing jobs in Ontario worth? Are there no better economic sectors that we can build up?

Who would buy these EVs if we build them in Canada?

The Canadian market cannot support a car company without exporting the majority of production. The US is our largest natural market and does not want our auto exports. It's unclear why other markets would want our EVs either.

Artificial barriers to protect an industry where we don't have an advantage (autos) which results in tariffs on a sectors where we do (agricultural products, resources) isn't sustainable or desirable.

Developing an EV industry depended on US cooperation. That cooperation is gone since Trump was elected.

Trump says he wants every car sold in the United States to be made domestically.

The old integrated cross-border auto manufacturing system is over. Stellantis is already moving production of Jeep from Brampton to Illinois, and others are expected to follow.
