It’s definitely been translated into the most used languages, but there are a bunch more that are being worked on still.
Here’s an infographic on it from another org: https://www.wycliffe.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2023_Infographic-Large_EN.pdf
Looks like the way they calculate it, 80% of people in the world have access to a full translation of the Bible in their language.
An internship is a role where a person learns how to do this. (And someone who knows how to do this knows it’s orders of magnitude more involved than the two days you were given — two months is a more realistic timeframe.)
Here’s a personal experience of mine, so you have more to compare this with:
When interviewing for a developer position (not an internship), I was once given a take-home programming task to complete over 2-3 days: basically a small, self-contained web app that they had made intentionally buggy and poorly-composed in various ways. I was tasked with identifying & fixing the problems, then providing a write-up of why I changed what I changed. (The package was different enough from their specialty that it was pretty obvious I wasn’t doing their work for them. I confirmed after being hired that this same task was given to all applicants.)
Again, that was for hiring a developer. The whole point of an internship is that you’re being taught and trained on the job.
If you’re already able to build what those people asked of you, then you’re overqualified for the role.
I think the controversy of Janeway's choice is largely due to the show's failure to address the orchid of it all.
As I see it, Tuvix is not "Tuvok + Neelix," but also isn't "something new." I maintain that Tuvix is primarily the orchid, which has subsumed the essence and personalities of two Voyager crew members and is asserting itself on board the ship.
All it would have taken is for Janeway to have maintained (or be convinced by another) that this was the case, and it would be the obvious choice to split them back up.
Of course that would negate the tension of the episode, but it could be left as "not everyone on board agrees that this is who/what Tuvix is, but Janeway believes it so that's why her decision isn't immoral." We could have the same kinds of "was Janeway wrong?" debates, but some of the rough edges would be smoothed out, I think.
My understanding of the concept was that it was something like multiple channels of data being sent along the same wire. So long as the frequencies are the right kind of different they’ll essentially exist completely independent of each other.
Maybe this requires a minimum of two time dimensions so that the variance can result in the different beings following time along different “tracks”?
I took Troi’s awareness of the beings to be a result of the intermittent overlapping bits of time where they did overlap. Like, it happened too quickly to perceive visually, but enough for the empath to have something to pick up on.
MechWarrior 2? Man, that takes me back…
Martin and Waldron did some good work here! Especially when compared to the other D+ writing we’ve been getting lately…
Both films my family had no desire to pay theater prices to see, but if it’s available at home & there’s nothing else going on? Sure, why not?
BTW, in both cases we were disappointed. Those scripts could have used a lot more work before going into production. #thanksChapek
Cool article. It looks like they only tested this with wasp faces, though — still inconclusive as to whether the wasps around my yard hate me personally.
“Fair” in the context of this phrase is meant to convey “beautiful” but literally meant “light or pale skinned.”
“Maiden” is meant to convey “young woman,” but literally meant “virgin” (as in “maiden voyage”).
This is why they want us to return to the office.
Genesis 5:4:
”The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.”
It looks to me as if 0.10 to 0.80 takes up as much vertical space as 0.01 to 0.02. They “yadda yadda‘d” the middle values because mouse was the only one that went that high.
