Question 591

大多数案件都不适用时间关系叙事

Answer 591

It all loops around and it’s not always chronological/linear

1. Middlemarch as a Metaphor: “Middlemarch” is a classic novel known for its complex narrative and numerous subplots, interwoven to create a rich tapestry of life in a 19th-century English town. It’s not just one story but many, with various characters and themes intricately connected.
   
   2. Appellate Lawyer’s Approach: The passage suggests that an appellate lawyer, when presented with “Middlemarch,” would try to dissect it into individual disputes or subplots (like the hospital story, or the story of Yvonne and Dorothy). This is analogous to how lawyers might dissect a complex legal case into separate issues or disputes.
   3. Incoherence in Segmentation: The problem highlighted here is that by dividing the novel (or a legal case) into distinct parts, one loses the coherence and interconnectedness of the whole. Just as “Middlemarch” cannot be fully understood or appreciated by only looking at its individual subplots in isolation, a complex legal case loses its meaning and coherence when dissected into separate disputes.

But his rule-breaking also thrills his fans and, though his main marketing technique has been to sell great products, helps his brands get noticed; until this year, Teslas sold themselves by word of mouth, rather than by advertising.
3. Mr Musk’s hubris, too, may end badly. For all the futuristic twaddle about the Cybertruck, drivers struggled to find its door handles.
4. a cringeworthy trip to Israel that he said was to promote peace but looked more like an apology tour; a barrage of “Go fuck yourself”s to advertisers such as Disney at a New York Times summit, after they pulled their ads from X; and crass self-mythologising like his comment that he has “done more for the environment than any single human on Earth”.

Answer 771

1. 他的表演艺术有着威利·旺卡般的魅力；很难界定奇迹的边界和疯狂的开始，但你几乎无法把目光从他身上移开。
2. 这是三者结合的结果。马斯克先生的挑衅式幽默，从幼稚的放屁笑话到公开吸食大麻的恶作剧，都帮助他树立了商业怪杰的形象。他常常做得过分，惹恼监管机构，甚至引发对他心理健康的担忧。但他打破常规的行为也吸引了他的粉丝，尽管他的主要营销策略是靠出色的产品，这也让他的品牌受到关注；直到今年，特斯拉的销售主要依靠口碑，而非广告。
3. 马斯克的傲慢同样可能导致糟糕的结局。尽管赛博卡车有着未来派的夸张宣传，但司机们却难以找到它的车门把手。
4. 包括一次引起尴尬的以色列之行，虽然他称是为了促进和平，但看起来更像是道歉之旅；在纽约时报峰会上对如迪士尼这样的广告商连连说“去你的”，因为他们已从X撤下广告；还有他像“我为环境所做的贡献超过任何一个人”这样的粗鲁自我吹嘘。

cut and dried liability

Yeah, my it’s just my thought process is, if you want to have that fight with us about whether or not we adopted this contract, to the extent that you’re now allowed to sue us for its breach, then we’re going to have that argument. to the extent that you’re now allowed to sue us for its breach, then we’re going to have that argument.

look, we’re not, I’m never gonna say don’t provide the information. If you have information that you think is relevant to this, right, please do go ahead and provide it right now, all we really have is this.

give us some like downside protection as to collectibility

We don’t have deep pockets to fund this litigation.

do we want to extend out the schedule again while we tentatively discuss possible settlement or possible other ways to resolve this.

that’s as a lawyer, I find it hard ever to turn down an extension.

Sure we can take more time, but I think in all seriousness, you know, I think if you Angus are contemplating as Bert suggested, I think it’s a good suggestion putting together settlement demand.

You can just reach whatever agreement that you want federal court, my experience, judges will routinely grant these sort of things, but they are the ones that need to be the one to grant them, as opposed to just the parties agreeing amongst themselves.

Question 1383

围棋游戏规则

Answer 1383

Game of Go
1. Players take turns placing one stone at a time on the intersections (where lines meet), with Black playing first.
2. Once placed, stones stay on the board unless they are captured by the opponent.
3. A stone or group of stones is captured if all its adjacent empty spaces (called liberties) are occupied by the opponent.
4. Stones connected horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally) form a group that shares liberties.
5. A player cannot place a stone where it would have no liberties (unless the move captures opposing stones).
6. The Ko rule prevents repeating the same board position immediately, ensuring the game doesn’t enter an endless loop.
7. The game ends when both players pass consecutively, meaning neither wants to make another move.
8. Territory consists of empty spaces fully surrounded by your stones; this is counted toward your final score (territory+stones captured+Komi) . Komi (usually 6.5 or 7.5 points) is added to White’s score to compensate for Black’s advantage of playing first.
