In the Canadian university lingo, co-op refers to a (usually paid) internship that you complete as part of your degree. You usually have a couple co-op terms/semesters along with your traditional terms. For example, you may start your degree with two semesters of classes, then a semester of co-op, then one of classes, then another two co-ops, more classes, etc. until you complete the degree requirements. Degrees with a co-op requirement usually will make mention of it (e.g. Software Engineering with co-op).

Oh, that's really interesting. We have them in the UK too, but they're called placements rather than co-ops.

If not using something like bind, but willing to run a dedicated dns server for acme challenges, acmedns offers something similar. When you generate a new account, it gets given a unique subdomain. You then cname the challenge domain to the acmedns subdomain and the account can only affect the associated subdomain.

Curl always requires -L to follow redirects.

I’ve seen them in stores in Canada, but they’re usually more expensive than the 454g blocks. Expensive enough that it’s usually better to buy the block and portion it as needed.

Some people I know are building a similar system, watching for the printers that parking attendants carry to issue tickets. When they see one of those nearby, it starts the clock so that they move their car before the time expires.

Anything that ends in .gov is related to a government entity in the US. Other countries don’t get access to that TLD.

I'm not sure if understood correctly, but https://www.tsunami.gov/ works without any problems even from Europe, Poland.

The US government controls who gets .gov domain names, but the websites are available to anyone.

ah, you're right. I knew that, think I must've looked at it too fast and assumed it was .gov.ca. (which isn't even the TLD that the Canadian government uses, but never mind...)

Where it’s the law for the lodging provides to have a copy of ID, you either consent to have them make a copy of your ID or you don’t get a place to stay. You don’t get to not consent and also get a place to stay.

Look up "spanish hotel/hostel fined for copying guest id". They certainly are not allowed to copy documents of EU citizens.

They were fined because they weren’t using the third-party online service that GGGGP is complaining about: https://spanishnewstoday.com/tourism-sector-wages-war-as-new...

Canadian numbers too (and potentially anything in the NANP).

Parcels are not mail. Parcels are the boxes of stuff that people order.

While spam funds a lot of the postal service, it allows it to price mail lower than the true cost of delivering mail across the country.

Wasn’t there a study that identified that college educated individuals are more likely to be Democrats? Most US government jobs require a college degree (or higher), so it wouldn’t be surprising to see that population match the findings in the general population?

Additionally, the republican image typically espouses the idea of private industry and private capital more so than the democrats, where public service takes a bigger role. If people already identified with a given ideology, it’s likely that their career choice would reflect that.

Finally, one’s political leanings aren’t being used to determine if they should be hired.
