Why github? You couldn’t just use pastebin? It’s a recipe! How much collaboration are you expecting to happen? Are you expecting people to file issues about your chili sauce?

Ok, I understand this - that soccer has many variables and it is difficult to create a model with all of these variables. But my point is, the global economy has way more variables than soccer. Way way way way more variables. At least 7

Yep, works like this in Canada. The problem is that each clinic implements a different record system, so someone needs to undergo effort to translate them when you switch systems. Also, I worked with OSCAR, one of Canada's biggest EMRs

The tariffs on Canada make sense. The Chinese were selling their steel to “Canadian” companies who were then selling it to the US. Canadian government is fairly toothless when it comes to managing China partly because we’re non-confrontatio

What’s wrong is that entire kingdoms were built around “snippets”; low value content that is simple and short and doesn’t really need anything more than a table (movie times) or a few short sentences (recap of events aka “news”).
