British Columbia@lemmy.ca•B.C. Ferries eyeing new technology to prevent whale collisions
4·10 days agoNo. Yes. And any sonar that exists already in use and has been since its invention. Mariners are asked to turn sonar devices off when near whales.
It sounds like they’re talking about some sort of flir device.
On my old 2006, you can nudge the signal arm part way (like where you would hold it to signal if you want it to go off after you release it) also by going to that position in the direction you’re already signaling. You don’t have to go past the bump and you can do it in either direction.
Well, it still gets dark at the same time.

2·28 days agoSome will move back, but I agree. I bet most people will stay. Once you have set up your life somewhere, uprooting again is daunting.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Prime minister should be required to divest assets, says committee
11·28 days agoI see what you’re getting at. We should find a way to make people in this situation whole after forcing the sale of their positions when they enter the trust

Canada@lemmy.ca•Prime minister should be required to divest assets, says committee
21·29 days agoI see what you’re getting at. We should figure out how to make someone asked to do that whole for their taxes owed as a result of selling. That would be a way to avoid potential conflicts arising

Canada@lemmy.ca•Prime minister should be required to divest assets, says committee
61·29 days agoRegardless, his investments are in a blind trust. He hasn’t known what specific companies he is invested in since placing them in the trust. All he knows is what the overall performance of his investments is. That’s it.
There is a lot of misinformation and half information being thrown around about how blind trusts work, but the premise is as simple as that.

4·29 days agoCarney’s assets are in a blind trust. He has zero visibility into what investments he holds. All he knows is the overall performance of the total.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Prime minister should be required to divest assets, says committee
11·29 days agoEdit: after researching it, Carney’s stock options were included in the blind trust. This confirms he does not know what happens with them.
Regardless, options [to purchase stock] aren’t worth anything until they vest and are exercised by purchasing them. Unvested stock options are a promise by the company to allow the individual to purchase the options at a set rate once they vest. That’s it. They hold no immediate value. Generally breaking ties with a company means that your unvested options and RSUs are forfeit.

41·29 days agoNo, someone who understands how blind trusts work would believe it. Brookfield and Carney have nothing to do with how blind trusts work and zero control over the investments in his. You’re free to be a crazy conspiracy theorist, but own it.

51·30 days agoNo - Carney knows exactly what his investments were when they entered the blind trust. He does not know what they are now.

101·2 months agoMore likely, they instigated hateful rhetoric and were called out on it. They didn’t understand that they were being called out for their hateful views and words so it’s easier to say, “they yelled at me because I’m a white cis man” when the truth would force introspection
Excellent point! We should do this to all our major industries

Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre wants Carney to cash out blind trust, says ethics screens insufficient
1·10 months agoWe are going in circles now, but keep in mind that we are talking about unvested stocks. In my opinion the only way to have an equitable solution is to find a way of transferring the current market value of the unvested stocks into Carney’s blind trust. I can’t think of how to do this in a way that I would be happy as a taxpayer and he would be happy as a (former) shareholder, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a solution.
The complexity of the problem is one of the reasons why I don’t feel it is worth solving immediately.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre wants Carney to cash out blind trust, says ethics screens insufficient
1·10 months agoDude that’s crazy. As I said I didn’t vote for the guy but be realistic here. Asking someone to pay money to become PM is not a good precedent. Especially when we are talking about one of the world’s most prominent economists, taking a position like you have just makes you seem like you hate the person and nothing will make you happy.


Afaik flir is for above water only. Assuming that’s the tech they’re talking about though, it’s the early detection of breaching they’re likely looking for, so it may help.
