And then Italians and Spaniards have the opposite, they have double negatives as a fundamental part of the language, used to emphasise a negation rather than the English-style double-cancels-out: "Te llamo Nib?" -> "No, no me llamo Nib, pendejo!" ("Are you Nib?" -> "No, I'm not Nib").

freitasm: ROFL you left behind the translation for "pendejo".
It was deliberate :-).
People still believe recalling an email woks!
Received one from my Medical Practice for survey on my "drop in" visit recently!
I haven't been recently!
An hour later received a recall for the email!
The CEO of Microsoft AI stated publicly that anything published on the internet is "freeware" which anyone can use... so copyright is now a grey area, according to Microsoft.

RIP Aaron Swartz. Breach copyright as an individual sharing scientific knowledge for free, get 35 years in prison. Breach copyright and make billions of dollars off it, get promoted to CEO.
We had a similar sort of thing from OpenAI about six months ago, where the claim was something like "but we had to pirate that content because our business model requires it!". It was a very strange thing to say.

It's just like robbing a bank of $10k & going to prison, while robbing a bank of $1bn gets a state bailout.

kingdragonfly: If I understand this video correctly, this Chinese clone of a SpaceX rocket was not supposed to get air-borne during its engine testing, but broke free from its restraints.
Perhaps the rocket should be renamed to “金刚” (Jīn Gāng) from the iconic movie “King Kong”. You'll remember that the titular character broke free from its restraints also.
The PRC seems to be good at reverse engineering, and that's about where it stops. They're possibly not going to ape the Japanese, South Koreans & Taiwanese just yet.
