And Norway

Vermont's dot representing its capital is very misplaced. It's substantially too far north.

It's also worth noting that this is famous enough that Amazon has offered a service called Mechanical Turk since 2005.

The implementation and service are both fine in theory, but you do need to be clear that what's being paid for is humans pretending to be computers.

I had read (in a comment here, so take with a grain of salt) that some had started doing Proof of Work.

I.E. they ask the visiting computer to do some math. This is potentially less annoying to people than clicking on traffic lights or typing unreadable text, but could get costly if you're using bots.

IIRC, the Pope is only considered infallible when they say they are. Otherwise they're just speaking as the highest ranking member. So most of the time what they say is not treated by members of the clergy as the literal word of god.

Maybe other Catholics are more in the know, but this isn't a distinction I was aware of when I was a practicing Catholic. That might be because the Pope really didn't come up much at all. I'm sure he influenced policy, but his words seemed to come up in the news, and not really much outside that.

I'm mostly in favor of option one, but I am concerned that it could result in a cesspool filled with memes.

Without a good way to filter out memes, large communities that permit them can easily become unusable.

I've never broken a bone. When I remember that I become acutely aware of how fragile my bones and everything else about my body is for a while.

If those are communication apps supported by the bank, that's the idea. Banks have been hit with huge fines for employees communicating over unapproved channels.

One of the problems with the unapproved channels is that the bank can't enforce a retention period. So written messages that are supposed to be kept on record for 10 years or whatever can get deleted. In the event of a lawsuit the bank can be fined for not having the messages.

Valve doesn't have a management team.

Maybe they could transition to being a worker-owned collective when Gabe wants to retire. I'm not sure what else keeps Valve as we know it alive post Gabe.

Max Brod claimed he told Kaka he wasn't going to burn his works and that he needed to appoint a different executor if he wanted that. We don't have anything more than Brod's word, but if it's true, that makes it hard to feel bad about him getting Kafka published.

Also, if you've got that kind of money surely you can find someone to bring a crate or take the dog elsewhere.
