I've been pondering the word "deserve". I translate it as "something the speaker expects and wants" but it pretends to be a reason. I wonder if it reveals which opinions the speaker has which they haven't yet bothered to find reasons for.

I've removed it from my vocabulary hoping to do a better job asking myself "why do I expect that?" and "why would that be good?"

Thanks for pointing that out. I was not expecting: "Data is stored in a blockchain form"

Would you be interested in starting an open source business review project?

Edge is the best browser for downloading Firefox.

I think the idea is that everyone has to live somewhere and the increased cost to land owners would trickle down as increased costs to land users.

Thank you for sharing. Through experimentation, I've found "no thanks, I don't eat round things" to have the highest success rate of gracefully ending the conversation and moving on. If pressed, "it's a religious thing". At worst, now we're talking about shapes and religion, which are two things that have nothing to do with my health.

Speculating: Perhaps a feature for automated regression testing? Start the game with the "cursed" seed, run your script of inputs and compare the outputs against the results of your last production release. Versus the normal RNG, where a game difference which touches the RNG would alter ALL following output, hiding later game differences.

Am I having a moment or is the math off?

> Given a random starting seed, rand_nsmb will repeat an output after 1,820,529 calls, on average.

> Longest cycle: 1 cycle of length 1,708,724

I know of one rescue that didn't go smoothly because there was confusion between degrees, minutes, seconds and decimal degrees.

Which will last longer, the stones or the website. Between ssl certs expiring, embedded google map, hosting provider, dns, etc... I'd bet on the stones.

If the starter pistol is too far away, there's a chance to see the smoke before hearing it.

I also read my mortgage, bank man said no one had ever done that and he clearly had not read it himself. The agreement obligated me to pay the bank unlimited money (in fees) and forbid using the loan for the purposes it was advertised for.

don't forget Amazon (for shipping).

I DO see it as zero sum. OSM and Google maps compete for a limited supply of users. It's the "wrong" team because when Google gets users, they make money. When OSM gets users, the map gets better and people are freer from abuse and manipulation.

I've really enjoyed the community at slack.openstreetmap.us great for finding projects or people to work with. There are local channels!

I thought I was helping the world by fixing things on google maps. That will be a perpetual reminder for how naive I can be.

I read it in the context of "some day". They may be expressing optimism that the legal definitions could be corrected to match what they (and I) consider to be the commonly used meanings of these words.

Well, if the company is struggling to NOT kill people...

Most Tire Pressure Monitoring systems also broadcast a unique ID that can be used to derive traffic patterns.

GP may also have meant that a functional legal system could provide a better remedy to the workers by enforcing compensation. And perhaps the destruction could have been avoided.

Not a good proxy for "smart", but when I'm deciding whether or not to pursue future interactions (professional or socially), I turn to the classic turing test. Spend most of the conversation listening, except as needed to keep the conversation going. Imagine you can't see or hear them, but only read their words on paper. How sure are you that they are not a computer program? For me, notes of emotion, hints of future hope or past regrets, recognition that humans are flawed or acknowledging that others may hold a different perspective are strong moves. Silliness, reasoning, compassion, specialized interests score points too.

Next, run this test on yourself. Be more human.

Sounds like we need a way to encode arbitrary data into video that can survive lossy compression. Youtube filesystem?

I wish the notification email included the file name(s) my email was found in. Otherwise, it's not actionable.

You've rediscovered the ancient art of drawing lines on a map to make some people more powerful than other people. Usually preferred by the 'some people'. Always followed immediate after by attempts to justify why cheating is good.

More hypothesis: Not all big problems are obvious. Perhaps I saw person 1 touch person 2's bottom, and person 1 was never seen again. If organizers resolved the situation quietly, and the casual observer doesn't have context (was the bottom touching consentual?) that could lead to uncertainty. Perhaps: I like touching bottoms (with consent), is /that/ going to get me kicked out? (Work: yes. Dance: no)

If you can accept that a small portion of adults have judgement poor enough to cause big problems, then it doesn't seem like a big leap to accept that another larger portion of adults have judgement at a level which lacks confidence to trust assumptions in uncomfortable, high risk situations. Perhaps this is the group served by CoC?

My hypothesis: a minority of adults with poor judgement cause legitimate problems. Organizers react appropriately and remove the person. Being expelled is scary! This person, or others fearing the same, ask "what rule did they break, is this rule applied fairly?". And the easiest way to make it less scary is to publish "rules".

To remember to bring a physical object, I leave my keys on it. Downside, sometimes people will bring my keys to me when they find them in strange places, like the fridge.

But for some reason, no major news site can figure it out.

How about laws having a clause describing how to measure how effective the law is at achieving the goal after a period of time, and automatic deactivation of the law if the intended effect isn't achieved? (unit tests)

But how to know if the bird is flying or driving?
