EXCLUSIVE: Geoffrey Hinton, the Toronto computer scientist often called the "godfather of AI," offers $1-million to fix the Ontario Science Centre's roof -- but only if the province agrees not to move it to Ontario Place #ONpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Every time I see beer in a corner store I'll think of what it cost us to have it *14 months early*, and what we could have spent that billion dollars on instead. - nurses - teachers, EAs - autism program - care for seniors - Science Centre - public infrastructure #onpoli

The Science Center shut down seems like it’s the LEAST polarizing issue this city has seen in a decade People love it, and no one wants it to move. That viewpoint seems to cross cultures and socioeconomic classes. The ppl aren’t dumb- everyone knows something sketchy is up.

If the public raises $6M, can we keep the science center open? @oliviachow @fordnation I’ll personally commit $10k if you commit on your side and we raise enough.

@skstock why wait?

I rock my baby to sleep at 7pm and then have to wait until 9pm to go to bed and lemme tell ya, it’s too long.

I’ve never tried crack but I think making your baby laugh for the first time is a better high.

@BrandonMChu Could you imagine how amazing the outdoor communal kitchen would be like at that cottage community?

free untapped billion dollar market: diverse cottage communities, country clubs, etc. the money is there, just nothing to buy

Building software is the easy part. The hard part is making money from it. Coding is fun. Finding customers less so. But without them, you have a hobby project.

"The 4th of July parade shooting in Highland Park, Illinois marks at least the 308th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking such incidents.". 308th and it's only July - my heart hurts.
