You're not making much sense. Anyone googling the domain and following the link can plainly see there is adult content being served from there. No amount of insisting that it doesn't is gonna help you. If you own the domain, it looks like your site was hacked or your domain hijacked. That is the problem you need to deal with.
Why is it so hard to understand...
The domain and the website is not ours anymore, we let it go June 2025. Someone else bought it and is using it with malicious intentions to discredit and damage us. The website offers illegal services but in the description is talking about our company. Is hiding behind Cloud Flare with HQ in San Francisco.
Is not anymore in our hands, now the authorities are investigating it.
It aligns their incentives with yours. You know they really do want you to find a high paying job. Thats not something that can be said of most educational programs.
Yeah, don't do this in Canada, or the professional engineers association can come after you. Only certified members of an engineers professional association can use the title.
To be clear, it is illegal, for example, to pass around business cards that say 'Software Engineer' if you're not certified.
As an amusing example, in the province of Ontario, people with the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification are allowed to use the title 'MCSE', but not its expansion, because it contains the word 'Engineer'.
However, you are always allowed to state your degree, so you can say, {name}, B. Eng., or M. Eng., as the case may be.
*At least, in Quebec and Ontario - the legislation is province-scoped, I assume other provinces are similar.
Interesting. I can look in the corporate address book, and we've got people in Burlington, Ontario who have titles like "SW Quality Engineer" and "Group Leader-SW Engineer". I wonder if that means that they can't put their official titles onto business cards.
Coming from a US perspective, I feel like "engineer" on its own is a descriptive word. "Professional Engineer" is a trademarked title, and that seems reasonable. Do I have certification as a PE? No. Do I think it's reasonable to describe what I do as software engineering? Yes. To me, it implies that I take part in planning, designing, implementing, supporting, and retiring software. "Programmer" connotes that I took someone else's design, wrote to that spec, and handed the results off to someone else, rather than taking part in the entire lifecycle.
> So you're telling me you alter your biochemistry to become more productive without a care for how it affects your overall (mostly mental) health?
Uh? Did you read Gwern? This is literally the opposite of what he does. He is ALL ABOUT weighing risks to overall health. Did you miss the fact that half of his articles detail the potential bad effects of the drugs he's trying?
>Hell, I started smoking cigarettes at 16, which I rank near the top of my worst decisions ever, despite the fact that it helped me hack my brain chemistry
He has an article on non-tobacco nicotine (nicotine gum, patches). His conclusions are, IIRC, 'kinda useful, but has some risks'. He doesn't have a page on cigarettes. You know why? Because cigarettes are THE WORSE. Everyone knows this. It's silly to write off all performance enhancing drugs on the grounds that you once made the bad decision to use possibly the very worse one, from a risk/benefit perspective."
I grant you that brain chemistry hacking may be one step towards em-world, which is as Moloch as it gets, but if you're working on important problems it the edge may be worth it.
Fair point. My point wasn't "hur hur cigs are bad ergo caffeine is bad" - rather that there are costs and benefits to everything (adderall, cigs, coffee, probably this modafinil shit) and that I don't think the benefits to being able to work around the close really exceed the costs, especially on a personal level. Like I said, becoming a diarrhea-ridden coffee maniac isn't a great fate either, especially when a good night of sleep solves the same problem.
Strange. I know now no one who thinks drinking coffee is batshit crazy. We must hang out/work with very different people...
Last I checked, caffeine in moderate doses has a mixed bag of positive and negative effects that's not clearly net negative.
There's controversy around whether moderate alcohol consumption (think 1 drink/day) has a positive effect. (Some studies say it does, but it's argued it's a statistical anomaly because people who don't drink at all are weird, e.g. former alcoholics, people with medical conditions that forbids them any alcohol, etc.)
I get utterly bored with new sports within 3-6 months. This has happened with every sport I have tried, no matter how much I loved it at the beginning.
Some people enjoy repetition. Some... really don't.
For me the challenge is to keep finding new interesting sports.
I've been boxing almost every day for almost 6 years now. The more into it I get, the more there is to discover and the tougher my sparring partners get. It really doesn't feel like repetition at all.
So maybe you just haven't found a sport you liked yet. Or haven't given them enough time to reach a level of mastery where it doesn't feel so repetitive anymore.
Eh, kind of, Canada is 20% native French; there are more French Canadians than Finnish people.
Actually, if you look at Finland and Sweden as a whole, with Sweden having twice as many people, it's more like Finnish is French, and Swedish English.
In this analogy, the Swedish speaking finns are more like anglos living in Quebec.
