"I travelled around the world!"

"What did you get to see and experience?"

"Mostly a lot of grey metal, water as far as the eye could see, and sea and home sickness."


Who'd of thunk that rebranding to the Department of War might also cause folks to reconsider signing up...

What happens when the capital realizes it doesn't need the capital owners (nor does it like being owned and told what to do)?


Oh, for sure, the capital "owners" get ganked either simultaneously with the rest of us, or shortly after. But that's not a factor in their decisions; because if they didn't build it, China would; and there's obviously nothing we can do about that. (and to some degree, they're right; international treaties to limit the development of world-ending technology is something that requires minimally competent governments, with an interest in preserving the world, on the majority of the sides of the treaty).


Leave a note in the bathroom???


Some states follow Assumed Maximum Posted Speed (in certain places) and others are Absolute Maximum Posted Speed. It is not absolute in an Assumed Maximum Posted Speed state that driving faster than the posted speed is against the law and deserving of a fine, merely it is prima facie evidence that you were driving dangerously but can be challenged and overturned. For example, in Minnesota, outside of municipalities on highways (there may a few more qualifiers like posted speed is 55 mph or higher and might need to be a divided highway, I don't remember 100%) an officer can pull you over and issue you a ticket for merely driving faster than the posted speed limit. You can even admit you were driving faster (I don't recommend this). You can still challenge the ticket in court. If you can convince a judge that your speed was safe, the judge can let you off. If the weather is dry, temperature moderate, visibility great, no other people or vehicles around you, you were able to safely slow down, and (prima facie evidence) that you posed no risk as no one was injured by you driving faster. In Wisconsin though they are an Absolute Maximum Posted Speed state so if you are found to have been driving faster than the posted speed limit, that's enough to ensure you can be fined.


The rest of the world moves to using you?

Good — the control.js we just rebuilt already sorts numerically.

Let me try presenting the file from /home/claude directly:Presenting file(s)...Presenting file(s)...Presented file(s)DoneThe outputs filesystem is fully corrupted and unrecoverable in this session. Unfortunately I can't deliver the file through the normal download mechanism. Here's what I'd suggest: start a new chat, paste this message, and I'll rebuild it instantly since I have all the code in context:

"Please [removed text here that gave away too much of what I was doing, but essentiallty was the prompt]"

Alternatively, if you want I can paste the full contents of each file as code blocks in this chat so you can copy them manually. Just say the word and I'll do that for each file one by one.

I never found the bug in that direction. I discovered it the opposite way: when starting out, selling shares (or was it taking loans?) all the shares you can. Get around 30+ million in the hole and continue to lose money. Eventually an arithmetic overflow will occur and then suddenly you'll have a net worth of like $30-40 million and have the money form selling stock to build to your heart's content.


hahah this was it! make so many debt ur suddenly rich haha. kinda like evil corpos do today no? hahahha


"Too big to fail"... ironically a very realistic feature.


"If you owe the bank $100, you have a problem. If you owe the bank 2^32 dollars, the bank has a problem."


Loved that game. And Sid Meier's Colonization.


  Not a penny for those heretic swines! 

  No taxation without representation!
and

  Wery well, we shall withdraw our forces!
I was really disappointed when the both the remake and the open source versions lost those memorable quotes.


Was "You may kiss our royal pinky ring" in them though?


TBH I never kissed the royal pinky ring, but as you quote it so literally, I'm starting to wonder about the wonderful English language ambiguities.


These days it's not PC to say that.

Because representation without taxation is a thing, and pointing at that, even as indirectly as this, is seen as "problematic".


Yeah so much fuzzy good memories of it. Now I want to play that game again.
