I hadn't really thought of it this way, but that's a common thread through so many political problems of the last 20 years. If you can convince enough voters that immigrants are the problem and you are the solution then you can do anything you like.
The Deltaworks project did not have a trivial cost, and the Ministry of Water in the Netherlands is deeply concerned about how we will mitigate further sea level and river level rises.
I've seen that some programming communities focus on writing software, while others focus on talking about software.

C and Haskell are two good examples of this dynamic, although C is used in so many different projects that "community" only loosely applies.

Unless you're sure that your donations on will be used on-premise immediately, then you will actually cost whoever is your host. (It may even have to be on the same 120V phase tap from the 240V coming off the street transformer, but I'm not sure.) Standard electric meters are not sensitive to power direction - power going into the residence or power going out. They only detect volume of power movement, but not direction. When you buy a grid-tie system, the power company has to come out and swap your power meter so that the new one will essentially run backwards if you happen to have net power going back into the grid. Anyways, fully solar systems are harder at our latitudes than if you live in California or closer to the equator without the strong winter demands. Maybe just fail-over to propane as needed.

Power inverters need to be manufactured grid-tie style. They have a phase lock loop ( IIRC ) that ties into the phase of the grid and they need to not generate power if power is down on the grid in grid-mode, otherwise guys working on the lines can be electrocuted when they think they have turned off power lines.

Also, if you're donating back, you need to be concerned about amperage on that circuit and it needs to be dedicated, in addition to following all your local power code. If you just so happen to generate 14Amps net and then a device on that same circuit consumes 28A, then the panel 15A breaker may not trip, but parts of your circuit have 28 Amps flowing:

Load

You dont seem to understand the difference between discrimination and a difference of views. Unless you feel that being a "insert political party here" is a protected class...
I don't agree with the fundamental premise. "How might this news affect political elections" is usually not a question we should even try to answer.

The guidelines for testing were so absurdly stringent because there was almost no testing capacity in the US, despite their being hundreds of labs with RTPCR equipment, because the CDC screwed up their test kits and the FDA used emergency powers to prohibit labs from developing their own tests, and forbids the creation of commercial test kits and the importation of foreign ones. Three weeks after CDC (after an already unconscionable delay) shipped the non working tests, they have "fixed" this situation by permitting labs to use the 2 of the 3 primers in the original test that mostly work. So as of yesterday we are starting to have the ability to actually test, and the criteria are being loosened.
You claimed "any reason", not "for political opinions". They pointed out the difference you claim they are not recognizing exists.

I'm also biased because I work on Gripeless. Our product isn't really about broadly collecting feedback as a whole, but it instead focuses specifically on the negative feedback part and tries to make it as pleasant and friction-less as possible for the end user to submit.

HotJar's feedback tool is built around getting all kinds of feedback, both positive and negative, which is generally fine if you want to improve your product satisfaction when comparing "happiness" at different time frames, but it does come with some caveats.

Since people don't want to be rude by nature it's less likely that they'd explicitly pick the most angry face option on HotJar's happiness slider and submit their complain then - as they, again, would have to explicitly state that they're dissatisfied.

Submitting a gripe through Gripeless on the other hand takes just a single text field, no emotions, no decisions - users can simply quickly fire out their issue(s) at the product owner without any suspected judgement - since complaints are very clearly solicited.

Again, I'm super biased because I'm the solo founder of Gripeless and competing against a much more established company like HotJar is not easy, as an early stage company we can't afford to give out our product for free just yet (apart from OSS projects which we always give out our product to for $0), but I try very very hard to satisfy our current customers' specific needs, something that a larger company can't offer at scale.

And I'm saying that if everybody is using unreliable tools, especially mandated ones, then it's not particularly backwards. E.g., during a consulting gig in Manhattan, it was not uncommon for a subway failure to cause the majority of people to be late for the first meeting of the day.

Similarly, I've seen a few companies where it's just assumed that a 9:00 meeting really starts at 9:05, so everybody has time to travel from their last meeting. I think the videoconference nonsense is effectively the same. It doesn't really matter if you designate 8:57-9:00 as your "make sure your tools work" time or 9:00-9:03. It just matters that everybody has the same expectation.
Nice project. Are you aware of Hobbes (Highly Objectified Blue Book Equivalent Smalltalk) that is able to run Smalltalk-80 V2 images? The Squeak/Pharo version has, however, not working file access needed for sources access.

But selfies would be pretty unambiguous, no? Maybe even enough to get the ball rolling on a class-action, if enough Californians requested their data and got back a bunch of selfies.

I'd also like to see what would happen if Europeans reported them to their data protection agencies. Nothing will happen to the company, since it's in the US, but it might make the life of the execs hard if they ever wanted to do business in Europe.
>They need to prevent panic as much as possible, prevent economic collapse, etc. The response to events like this can be worse than the initial problem.

If this event is half as bad as all the literature out of China is suggesting, panic is the least of our worries. What a responsible government should do is initiate some sort of recommendation for gradual stockpiling of goods - perhaps a lottery just to encourage the majority of people to calmly stock up in turns.

In any case the CDC has already issued warning to prepare for "severe disruption to everyday life." Now it's up to the ignorant population to wake up and realize that this isn't just another flu.
There was also a famous example of this in the 1930s-40s. It's been going on for a long time.

For now we're using Bing as a search engine, but if there is enough interest, we might build our own search engine around this.

I attend a lot of my kid's school events, and he's about the same age as Obama's were at that point. There's no "angle" why I do this, other than because I take pleasure in being there and want to be a good Dad.

This is also why nativism was such a big part of fascist movements in the 20th century, too. Tell the majority that they are special, and could live happily ever after if it weren't for all those (insert boogeyman here).
That's because the US CDC produced defective test kits and hasn't done enough testing. A tiny nation like SK has tested 30k people while the US has only tested 450+(and each kit costs a patient $3k while it's free or cheap in other countries).

The scientific facts are simple and clear. R0 is between 2 and 3, fatality rate is around 1%.

Even if it's not containable, actions should be taken to buy us more time before an effective vaccine is produced.
I agree with this wholly. I very much doubt that many people are building tools in bad faith to consume money. It’s just that in the end, “solve everything” means implementing 10:1 weird hacks for edge cases vs actual features that companies all have in common.

Let's keep this civil.

You are 100% correct that my comment did not show any bias at Twitter, as I referred to something that did not occur.

Instead I appealed to the reader's intuition about a counterfactual, showing that the reader already knows and has internalized this balance at the moment, by appealing to the reader's intuition at how surprised the reader would be: not at all surprised to read "Twitter has banned Donald Trump" - though this is a counterfactual - and on reading that headline would know that a liberal employee would have done it.

Do you consider the hypothetical headline I just quoted highly improbable? (I don't.)

Not saying this status quo is good or bad - I was just answering the question.

EDIT:

So I'm walking with someone, and he said that he couldn't see it happening. The reasons that he gave were that it would be very bad for business because a lot of Republicans also use Twitter and that since it is the president of the United States, he could argue that this is a public function. So would be limiting his freedom of speech in a sense.

So I guess I'm wrong and it would surprise many people.

Yeah I understand that but not many people do Erlang from Elixir from my experiences. Also I find Elixir community is better for me as a web developer than Erlang.

But it's also inescapable to ignore Erlang when you dive deeper into the actor model. Several good actor model books are Erlang only. Unfortunately many people, including myself, ever actually do anything hardcore with Actor Model. There is a good blog post about several skill stages of erlang/elxir and OTP was at the very top in term of few people actually uses it. I can't recall it the author =/.

Actually, I like Elixir package management system and command line tool is much better. They recently have the release command line tool. Elixir have several more differences?

I think that these kinds of interview quizzes are a generally terrible practice. I prefer to bring people in and have them pair with people on real things, that are really happening, that are entirely representative of the real work and the real team dynamics. All parties involved get a much, much better SNR out of arrangements like that. A bunch of contrived nonsense representative of nothing used as a measuring stick for hiring has always seemed nonsensical to me.

In any case, if one were resolute to pursue a practice like this, such as your colleague, then what they should have done is pick a problem they definitely don't know the answer to and then sit down and work it out actively in cooperation with the candidate. That would have been about a thousand times more useful as an interviewing activity.

Knowing the answer ahead of time makes the dynamic worse. Things will seem obvious that aren't when you already know the answer. It sounds like your colleague made things a degree worse by both not knowing the answer, but assuming that they did somehow intuitively.
I, personally, appreciated the words of warning a lot.
I'm a reasonable enough person to not panic and will stay pragmatic about it (I'm not going to go into quarantine now, obviously) but it's very nice to see and hear people in the know are taking it seriously to prevent the spread of a horrible disease and many unnecessary deaths.

Thank you for the warning signs, I will keep an open eye. :)

What's up with this politicized title? Might as well just say the hedge fund was also started by a Jew.
They suggested that people attend a legally permitted protest march? Didn't they realise that only leftists have constitutional rights???!!!

And the idea that you get to say that because one mentally ill person who went to the march decided entirely alone to attack people, that every single person attending the march is guilty?

I bet you'd apply those standards to people marching for a cause you agree with, wouldn't you?
You can be free and equal (anarchist), free but not equal (capitalist) or equal but not free (communist). Where I live we have the freedom already, so I guess equality is the fight du jour. And that does seem to be the case, since there are a lot of equality issues presented in the news.

Agreed. With ladders protruding into the walkway, it’s a hazard for the person descending and everyone else behind them in the cabin, and if it’s on both sides of the aircraft, just think of the potential blockages turning regular coach class behind this section into a potential deathtrap.

I think the only serious answer to this issue is to reduce the number of seats everywhere on all flights, raise prices heavily, and let the high prices and scarcity of seating dissuade people from flying except in extreme cases when it’s worth the money.

Especially finding ways to force businesses to do this, and simply refactor to use teleconferencing, regional offices, etc., and stop having commercial business activities that require flights.

> The benefit of controlling a modern state is less the power to persecute the innocent, more the power to protect the guilty.

Is there a fundamental difference between these if there are private groups guilty of persecuting the innocent, and the party in power chooses to not persecute (or prosecute) those groups?

Korea had few confirmed infections. Then a few people got very sick they started testing everyone those people were in contact with now they have thousands of confirmed infections why because they tested thousands of people not because thousands of people are very sick. So I agree not just the US many other countries probably have larger number of infected but few severe cases so not much testing.
Aloha has the advantage of not being "cloud-hosted". You know, the ones where you stand in line at checkout waiting while the terminal talks to some overloaded server far away? That's modern "cloud" point of sale. Aloha has a little box under the manager's desk running the terminals.

Yeah, because r/anarchism, a sub run by people who literally want to be executing people in the streets in the name of revolution, totally doesn't have far more extreme users who post far more extreme content all the time and get away with it.
>Doesn't whether or not Trump gets banned depend only on what Trump says and not whether or not Obama was banned?

I don't believe so, no. I think "who said it" (Trump or Obama) also determines who would get banned. (Currently I think Trump would get banned for something Obama wouldn't get banned for.)

This is the balance that I referred to.

> Apples to oranges. In the modern age we back up claims with science, not dogma.

There's lots of "scientific" claims that are dictated by dogma or other motivations. Various aspects of nutrition science, psychology, economics, and sociology are either made up or based on low quality evidence, yet people continue to believe them. Humans, including scientists and academics, are imperfect, despite how this is the "modern age".

> And I'm guessing they mean the idea of balance being "all ideas are equal regardless of merit" is the flawed paradigm.

Which I would consider a straw man. I don't believe anyone is saying that all ideas are equal regardless of merit. What people are asking for is a wider Overton window. If people were suggesting that all ideas are equal, then they'd have to accede that the ideas of racists, child molestors, and serial killers are perfectly valid and should be treated the same as other ideas, which I don't think is a very common point of view, at least when a person is tested on it.
Experience. You "should" have been able to get the first one, I think the other two are pretty debatable as they require knowledge you might have to research first if you didn't already know about perfect numbers or at least some of the complexities of unicode.

As far as the first one goes, you could go through some of the questions on https://codesignal.com/ . They're geared towards interview practice, but ignoring that they provide reasonable problems, a decent environment to write code in and after you get your solution accepted you'll be able to access other solutions to get new ideas. The aim here is just to learn how to think through a problem and allow your brain start to make connections that it wasn't making before.

The term you are looking for may be "highly inflected".

Side note: IMHO, you are exaggerating the ability of Polish to form long compounds. Dissecting the "Bezbarwne zielone idee wściekle śpią" example from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.10222.pdf#page=3 reveals no words longer than 4 morphemes:

bez-BARW-n-e ZIEL-on-e IDE-e WŚCIEK-l-e ŚP-ią, where I put word roots in uppercase and bound morphemes in lowercase.

The longest sequences of morphemes (for a loose definition of morpheme) I can think of are conditional mood of verbs with double prefixes like po-wy-CHODZI-ł-y-by-ście. However, the sequences of bound morphemes in those forms, which may look complex to you, form a finite-state language that admits just a few sequences.
