Oh this is a brilliant ruling. Bring back liability! Stop the trend of outsourcing your decisions to an opaque box, then blaming the box.

> "Air Canada argues it cannot be held liable for information provided by one of its agents, servants, or representatives—including a chatbot," Rivers wrote. "It does not explain why it believes that is the case" or "why the webpage titled 'Bereavement travel' was inherently more trustworthy than its chatbot."

> Further, Rivers found that Moffatt had "no reason" to believe that one part of Air Canada's website would be accurate and another would not.

"Maybe this person is ok? Maybe I'm overreacting. They might be generally sensible, just not sensitive to all the issues, not so informed or so willing to make an effort, a bit behind the curve."

*checks profile*

"Yeah, no, ok, I do not need to see anything more from this person ever. Life is too short."

I always give people the benefit of the doubt, occasionally it's worth it and may broaden my horizon. But usually the comment I catch in a thread is less outlier, more tip of the iceberg.

Definitely wouldn't call myself a Power BI.

@d@nny "disc@" mcClanahan @WATERB~1.EXE I hope not and I think not. In an ideal world it would be entirely derived from the data pip would use.

It was just my initial reaction because why otherwise would `conda create -n the-env python=3.7` be allowed to give me a setuptools=69.1.0?

But on closer examination it seems there is really something wrong with how `conda create` operates, because none of the commands I can run on an already existing python=3.7 conda env act as if anything above setuptools=68.0.0 exists, they all behave correctly.

Oh. What happened to social.mjd.id.au ?

@Ruben Are you using some of your other accounts?

I don't know if this is about the CI process only, or if it goes into the conda metadata:

github.com/conda-forge/setupto…

requirements:
  host:
    - python >=3.7
  run:
    - python >=3.7

@WATERB~1.EXE I get where you're coming from, but I disagree in principle.

Regardless, in this case it's not about transitive dependencies, it's about the conda package having the wrong metadata even though the source package metadata is correct.

UGH.

Conda installs setuptools==69.1.0 when it creates a Python 3.7 environment, even though setuptools>=69 requires Python 3.8.

This is gradually going to break all our package builds as docker caches expire. So far only one package affected.

I'm interested to watch this show now.

And the mom voice actor was Suzie Plakson, who played several beloved Star Trek roles!

"... they're puppets, so the show seems to have a children's aesthetic ..."
*looks into camera*
"... yet the dialogue is unquestionably sharp-edged, witty and thematically skewed to adults"
*wiggles eyebrows*

Freddie Mercury's and Montserrat Caballé's live performance of "Barcelona" receives a great moment by moment analysis by a professional opera soprano, regarding phrasing, dynamic, use of vibrato, stage presence etc.

Concept: an immortal who doesn’t shy away from photos or paintings. Draws self portraits on cave walls. Photobombs everything with a pout and a suave pose. Commissions numerous portraits of themself as a literary Romantic before faking their death. Tries to be at least slightly famous every time they have a new identity. Creates a conspiracy blog linking all their past photos together before mysteriously disappearing in mysterious circumstances. Mysteriously. Usually only disappears for 10 to 20 years after “"dying”“ before making another appearance. Everyone else in the immortal community lowkey hates them. “Ah, fuck. You’ll never guess who’s resurfaced again.” “Fucking… Dave?” “Fucking Dave.”

@Lee Fife What I want is the service I described. 🤷

I know it already exists, I just forgot the name.
