A lot of it is actually, I think, a consequence of heating during winter. A lot of the denser parts of Montréal have been built at a time where Hydro-electricity wasn't developed. Houses were heated by coal and oil mainly, which was delivered in small streets build behind the building as the stuff was nasty. Getting greather density meant easier delivery. This is only speculation.
Same people,under order of British gov, also went down south and burned the white house in 1812. True story.
Not the point at all.
Montréal is unique. It's the only American city with both french and english cultures living hand in hand. It's also great for novel cuisine, micro. It has 4 full seasons do you can practice almost any sports and neat mountain ranges with amazing wildlife just an hour away to the north.
Brits ultimately lost that one due to a hurricane anyway.
I’ve enjoyed many months in Quebec (I went to Med School in Vermont and went up there many times) but I never got Montreal. Totally acknowledge I might have just not have spent enough time in the right areas.
Burning of Washington was done in retaliation of the Americans burning and looting York, the capital of Upper Canada. French Canadians, the Canadiens, lived in Lower Canada, whose capital was Quebec City. Probably not the same people.
Yeah but the report doesn't talk about the degradation in quality of life you'll have to endure if you survive. It may take you months/years to fully recover.
I bet one of the key factors for this thing to be on the road safely was the development of some kind of unbreakable glass for the huge front window, so they "had to" make this new type of resistant glass. Some "yes man" at the upper management level must've decided to skip constrained material testing (Glass dissipates energy much differently when it is in a frame rather than just loose... pay close attention at the ball drop demo and you'll see the glass jump a few inches)
It's pretty slow TBH. I use mine to run pihole and samba and samba will max out the CPU.
I tried to use mine as a firewall for my Google Fiber but w/ just basic rules enabled it would max out around 500mbps, I imagine I could probably get 50-100mbps out of it running a decent IPS ruleset, but I haven't tried.
The Topaz switch chip uses the RGMII 1gbps uplink to the CPU so even though there's 3 1gbps ethernet ports you'll only ever get 1gbps through the device if you have to do any software level processing.
I would strongly advice anyone interested by the labels frequencies of dataset to get a look at the json file provided.
Interesting thing is not that much the frequency of X or Y labels, but the frequency of one set of labels.
(this would be a great addition on the webpage actually).
Pictures can have multiple labels. And so, having the ratio of "Forum + Drugs + Finance" vs "Market-place + Weapons" dispense more information than just the global frequency of "Finance"-related pages :)

Very true. Most of the finance or market-place websites are scam. Not all of them are labeled with it (because there is a SCAM label ! Can't truly test all websites by ordering the stuff) but clearly some of them were scam. In particular techno-stuff (IPhone etc.) marketplaces are usually scams.

Usually? Always. There are a plenty of legitimate services that'll fence such items for you, but they'll just sell them very near retail on amazon/ebay/whatever.
This is the old "paradox of choice" reflecting itself from consumerism now on to dating... I don't see any women complaining, yet, as it's been only around 7 years of this dynamic and young women seem to be getting much higher quality partners through this low upfront cost, mainly appearance based process.
However, I expect a lot of the consequences to society will reveal themselves when the female user base grows older, as it'll cause missed opportunity to raise children, childs without father and fathers uninterested in sticking around as they easily find younger partners as age generally favours men in attraction dynamics.
Also, a certain mass of single young men will end up broken in the exercice. They'll either urged to compete in dishonest ways or give up entirely.
