The thing is, none of those algorithms have to be black boxes. They could be published—it's just that businesses don't want to, and so far, no government has chosen to force it.

It isn't about which language has the most speakers, it's about acknowledging history. (I mean, if "who has the most speakers" were the only important thing, French wouldn't be allowed either—Ontario is not required by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to provide provincial government services in French, but does so to some extent anyway, for historical and practical reasons.)
How the languages of large immigrant communities should be handled in official contexts is a completely separate matter from this.
About time.
I do wonder, though, from a practical standpoint, how difficult it might be to get translators for languages that now have very few speakers, like Oneida or Cayuga.
This is a series that has reminded me, at various times, of Wolf's Rain, Ergo Proxy, and the David Lynch version of Dune—not always in a good way.
In the end, I think this needed to be two cours to give them enough space, or else they should have slashed the Original Nine down to the Original Five-or-so to make more space for other aspects of the story.
Quick identification tip: Older Final Fantasy maps always have continents and ocean. They also tend (oddly) to be less blocky than this Zelda map.
The official repositories often have no useful oversight either. At least once a year, you'll hear about a malicious package in npm or PyPI getting widespread enough to cause real havoc. Typosquatting runs rampant, and formerly reputable packages end up in the hands of scammers when their original devs try to find someone to hand them over to.
Indeed. Where's that pic of the tardigrade with the violin again?
Living will also kill you, eventually.
It's surprising that more of these people haven't gotten taken in before by videos of celebrity impersonators hawking dubious stocks or whatever. Or maybe they have, and that's why they only have the price of a used car to lose to the latest scams.
Dude. There is this thing called "treatment-resistant depression" that medicine still can't find any way to help. A diagnosis of "depression" doesn't mean that anything can be done.
Chances are good this woman has already been through treatment and psychiatric evaluation to get her existing diagnoses.
If it's "an easily treated chemical imbalance", they would have diagnosed it by now. The MAID process is far from instantaneous. She's had plenty of opportunity to be evaluated, and her father has had plenty of opportunity to persuade her to be evaluated.
That's because banning Tiktok alone is like trying to hold a gaping wound together with a band-aid. We need to force all social media companies to act like good citizens if they want to remain in the Canadian market. (Yeah, I know, not going to happen.)
