I was actually trying to play through that with my 202 level Chinese. I had a notebook with my translations and everything. Actually pretty good, and I like the unit Square via actual stats, as well as the fact reinforcements are all at the footsteps markers, and you never have someone popup and stab you.

But yeah what if the French Revolution also had magic girls?

My dad said that a lot

You remember that orange soap you put in dry hands, and only after lathering wash with water? My hands never felt cleaner than after autoship class.

The way I think about this is somewhat novel I think.

Suppose we have two universes, everything the same, except one has free will and one doesn't. Would an observer be able to tell them apart? I don't think so. Maybe I just lack imagination, but I don't see how free will would actually make a difference.

Your decisions determine what kind of person you are and what kind of person you are determines what decisions you make. They are self reinforcing and tied up together in a big path dependant knot.

Wanting to be a better person also only works if you let it change your decisions, bringing you one step closer to being a better person.

Also check out the book "seeing like a state" if you want a whole book version of that quote, including examples in forestry, city design and education.

There's also the chemistry version. If you are not part of the solution, at least you precipitated.

I'm in charge of laundry chores which means I'm in charge eof making the rules. And I agree. Or else you are handwashing it yourself if you buy it.

Can you master a dagger to get Nick and get the extra attack and flurry of blows? Would be cool.

Ty.

Where can you read it?

This is past the third reading though, it's far from a first draft .

No the opposite. Those sites (G/FB) will be forced to negotiate with the news sites over how much money they now owe them, and the tech companies can't say "no I'm out I don't want to pay X" as that seems to violate the rules passed to the arbiters saying they must reject an offer if it means Canadians get less news.

So meta pulling links is gonna get contested, and they will be forced to hand over a bag of cash to pay for all the linking they have done.

For the purposes of this Act, news content is made available if

(a) the news content, or any portion of it, is reproduced; or

(b) access to the news content, or any portion of it, is facilitated by any means, including an index, aggregation or ranking of news content.

21 An operator must participate in the bargaining process with the eligible news business or group of eligible news businesses that initiated it.

39 An arbitration panel must dismiss any offer that, in its opinion,

(b) is not in the public interest because the offer would be highly likely to result in serious detriment to the provision of news content to persons in Canada; or

(c) is inconsistent with the purposes of enhancing fairness in the Canadian digital news marketplace and contributing to its sustainability.

Sounds a lot like the named companies aren't even allowed to say "no I don't want to display links at that cost anymore.". And it includes indexing for searching, even if you only included the headline with no preview link, or allowed people to like/upvoat posts with links to news sites in them.

So you have to negotiate if named, and the news sites reject your offer, you go to arbitration, and of the arbiter doesn't like your offer (and by the text "I don't want to show news anymore" MUST be rejected) then it goes to whatever the news corps offer was.

If it just said "hey, we decided your previews generate too much value and violate copyrights, you need to pay royalties or else show the bare links" well, that would be dumb but fair. But being forced to transact seems bad.

Air Canada also starved me on a long flight because they ran out of dinners before reaching the end of the plane. The worst part is, I could see a to stack of food just behind the curtain. Apparently they can't or couldn't buy food in the US, so they had to split their supply in half, for the trip back.

I was not impressed.

????????? What the what now?

Yuuup. Webpage with a button to toggle a bit in a database. For a personal project, 1 day. For work? Well it took a few weeks to figure out what database, what pass security review, register our subdomain, get traffic quota, revise security review, mocks, learn new framework as the old one is deprecated, set up a new group to run the app as, including admin group and two person authorization to make changes. Set up autopush and test environment. Uh key rotation schedule. Reply to comments on the design doc questioning our choice of database. Translations for all the text.

Only took a quarter.

Edit: oh I forgot gdpr deletion service. But we got to hand that off to another team. Yaaay.
