  • My local store immediately went back :(

  • Hopefully. The trick is that waste management is traditionally provincial jurisdiction, and there would be a fight if they try to change that.

  • or just the ultimate in stubborn pedantry.

    More like legalism. It sounds like the registry is for things that can directly poison you, which finished plastics cannot, so (IANAL) it was legal fuckery to introduce federal authority that way. What happens when it's being manufactured or after it's processed as waste is beyond the purview of this specific instrument.

    • Lemmings, how does it feel to have your father/mother as your teacher in school?

  • Nice! Homeschooling mostly causes mayhem here. So many parents try it for a year or two and then send back illiterate kids to the public system.

    Honestly it didn't seem to cause problems when someone had their own parent, but I can see why there'd be worry.

  • On Reddit people use emojis a lot

    Really? We must have used different subs. Maybe that's the answer, you're the only guy from r/emojipasta or whatever to make the switch.

    • Was Sam Altman fired because OpenAI was moving too fast or too slow?

  • Not for failing to provide a profit, obviously. I guess if it's embezzlement they would have a duty to act, but otherwise a nonprofit can shovel money into a literal furnace as long as it advances their mission (IANAL).

    • What are some small or mundane things that illicit strong feelings of nostalgia within you?

  • Really bland architecture, people milling around in the sun. It describes a lot of good days in my childhood, I think.

  • FYI this was the board of the nonprofit, not the capped-profit subsidiary. One of the members is some sort of activist, even, so it wasn't necessarily about money in any way.

  • Given the other parties on the board who haven't objected, too fast. It sounds like he lied about some sort of AI safety thing.
