Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Proto: The gig economy

Minor grammar tweak: in the sentence "the goal of such reports is to create a more informed population," there is an apparent plurality mismatch between "reports" and "is". I know that the subject is actually "the goal", but it feels a bit awkward. Suggested substance changes: I'd support removing

Seems about right, based on other people's translations. The nice thing about the Bible is that plenty of people have translated it. I wouldn't know myself, as I'm only a first year Latin student, and your Latin is almost certainly better than mine. -Aris On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 1:13 PM, Publius

There exists a switch on Agora representing Agora current state of activity - it has two values, Lazy and Happening. Agora's activity can be set to Lazy without 3 objections. Agora's activity can be set to Happening with 3 support. When Agora's activity is set to Lazy, all penalties for tardines
