Interesting project Sam. Thanks for sharing. Can you share how your catalogue management works and w/ cover images? Are you ingesting ONIX from publishers? Or is catalog creation downstream of the bookstore owner ordering the book?

What's new here?

As mentioned in the article, Salt Typhoon and the recency of this request by the UK. At this point they should know better.

My pet theory is anytime the US wants to do something illegal under US law, they simply ask the UK to do it and vice versa. That's why Salt Typhoon isn't and never will be a lesson learned.

He waited a year after receiving the intel? He is being roasted for foriegn interference at the moment? He is about to call an election? Salt Typhoon just broke? And Trump is about to light things up on the Foriegn Affairs file?

I actually have no idea either.

Can anyone confirm the following?

I remember when Trump had Canada re-ratify Nafta that Canada had to waive the right to require Canadian data stay in Canada.

I know Canada signed the agreement but I am not sure if that requirement was ever put in legislation or whether the requirement was universal or just for US-based companies.

As reported by Bloomberg at the time; he is now on Bloomberg's board, so did the HR person or the journalist fail at their job?

The Bank of England employees he terrorized would like a word.

Carney has Julie-Payette issues in his past and probably won't leave his board seats to clean up Justin's mess, but never underestimate the ego I guess.

But left TR after her massively expensive digital initiative went pear shaped, (so maybe not the best example in this context).

Toyota was betting big on hydrogen.

Were they being engineer-minded or where they being lobbied? I would like to think they were betting on Beta -- the superior technology -- in the Beta v VHS battle of our time.

What am I missing here? Toyota's engineers have a great track record and the company isn't easily swayed by fads or Wall Street.

To take you literally for a moment: if anyone can claim land across a border, based on a historical grievance, then no border would stand. 70 years without a border war in Europe, so yeah we should try to push that water back up the hill. Otherwise a recursive "I would like my land back please."
