No, you're confused. Those are suspensions. We're talking about removing the blue check mark or denying it. This happens to people who aren't morally-approved by Twitter for moral reasons.

For example, the blue check was removed from Milo Yiannopolous (the gay conservative provocateur who was canceled a few years ago), after he was previously verified.

Every "rule" on Twitter is no more than a tool used to create the appearance of left-wing consensus by suppressing alternative views through selective enforcement. Nothing is even-handed, and it's incredibly obvious when you're the target.
I worked as a labor organizer in the US and this response is closest to the correct understanding of the law. Workers have a right to engage in "concerted activity" for the purposes of improving working conditions. However, when workers organize a union it needs to be certified as having a right to negotiate terms and conditions of employment on behalf of the workers, which is almost always done through a union election.

In the U.S. this is an exclusive right—a "unit" of workers can only have one certified bargaining agent, and that union must represent all workers in the bargaining unit. It's also illegal for the employer to negotiate with any party other than the recognized union.

To my understanding, this is different from Europe and can seem strange to Europeans. Understanding how this framework came about historically can be useful. Before the National Labor Relations Act, workers would strike in order to gain recognition and the right for the union to negotiate on their behalf. The NLRA election framework was an attempt to bring about "labor peace" by introducing orderly elections instead.

This was generally supported by a certain segment of capital who could afford it and saw the cost-benefit as worth it, especially finance capital who were much more favorable to New Deal politics, and opposed by others. On the workers' side, this has undoubtedly made it easier to win recognition from the employer, but some see it as having sapped workers' militancy over the long run by trading away pitched battles that revealed sharp class antagonisms for a more orderly bureaucratic process.
Only 16% voted for it the first time.

The vote, as such, as 1798 to 738, or 29 percent pro-union.

How do you get 16 percent from that?
The attorneys I’ve spoken to would disagree with you.
> Yet, we also forget that the world then was not like the world today.

False. Contemporary preachers were regularly commenting that slavers were going to hell. They didn't have a different morality, just different economic incentives (i.e. they thought they could get away with it). Luminaries such as Jefferson even expressed that slavery was wrong, though he didn't actually free his slaves during his lifetime. Show respect for people of the past, they weren't stupid. It wasn't even that far into the future that the slavery abolition movement got going in other countries such as the UK.

> Those grants of land to lower-class citizens ensured the new Western lands would be worked by citizens.

The land was Native American land and this was only achieved via genocidal means.
That's all available, fairly easily. At the federal level it's at congress.gov, including redlines for (some) amendments and versions. To be fair not every single amendment vote is available, but that's a quirk of how the legislative process works.

At the federal level, the US has a great bulk api from GPO/FDSys, including full bill text in plain, pdf, and XML.

At the state level Openstates.org does it, including with an API.

A lot of us in the space have mess with various "git diff" type solutions, but unfortunately the way bill text changes doesn't lend itself to this.
Actual Math Party tricks are standard affairs: just jokes about Math.

* "Hey Babe, would you like to be my derivative and lie tangent to my curves?"

* Question: What did Euler discover while sitting on the toilet?

-- Answer: A natural log.

* Question: Why do programmers mix up Christmas and Halloween?

-- Answer: Because Dec(imal) 25 == Oct(al) 31.

* Once upon a time, a big, evil derivative was approaching town. All the polynomials ran away in terror, expecting themselves to be derived away. Suddenly, the local Sheriff appeared, and rode out to parley with the derivative.

The Sheriff and Derivative meet up, and a showdown was about to occur. Knowing that it will all be over soon, they exchanged pleasantries before the final showdown.

The Sheriff introduces himself: "I'm e^x, the Sheriff of this town. You can't dare to derive me!"

Upon hearing the name: the evil derivative gives a toothy grin and says "My name is d/dy".

Etc. etc. Assuming you're comfortable telling these kinds of jokes of course. As usual, you need to read the room and see if the jokes would fly in the company you're in.
>It’s literally no different than the market manipulation you’d see on World of Warcraft or some other game where there’s a marketplace. People with a ton of money would buy up items at a lower price and then relist them at a ridiculous price - all the while having bots to watch for any listings that were significantly under theirs to make sure no one would buy except from them.

I don't get it how are they manipulating the market? Are they really cornering the market? If they haven't cornered the market, and are matching just below the price of competitors, isn't that the exact competitive behavior we want, driving down price?

I've been working on exactly that for the last 2 years. It has not gone well. I can't get into detail because it is all internal info, but I can give generic advice:

- Define your new solution first, worry about the tech later - the effort to make the tech work is worth it if you get the solution right. If your solutions came at problem from different angles, choose the angle you want to take based on what the customers need, not what the tech makes easy.

- Be willing to throw away old tech - re-use of legacy apps often brings legacy baggage. At the same time, don't re-write just because you can. Take each decision of re-use vs. re-write extremely seriously.

- Sadly, same advice for the people. My project struggled more with personnel concerns than tech concerns. Make sure everyone who works on the new product is not tied to the old work - not technically, emotionally or via their ego. Re-tool the team in terms of culture and skill up to whatever stack you want for the new product. Make that happen early - in the long run, getting the team right will make the difference.

- Merging two products is harder than writing either one in the first place, so be sure your leadership has accurate expectations of what this will really take.
Same. There is no real technical content in the link, just vague hints and repeated (see the book for more info) all over. The page doesn’t make it seem like it’s a description of the book - it makes it seem like “here’s how to build this” then doesn’t deliver.

Also, I have no problems with making money from the book but saying “we’re not publishing this to make money” then seeing the book is a hundred pounds was kind of a big question mark for me. That and the fact that the page starts off by talking about how it’s all open source and shared with the community was really incongruent.
I think it's possible to create a git GUI that is superior to the cmdline, but I've never seen it. SublimeMerge usually works fine, very useful for staging hunks. I still do interactive rebase on the cmdline tho.

Really, the only thing I "need" is a computer running Linux with a half-decent CPU in it. My "daily carry" is decidedly boring in that respect, since it's basically a decidedly aged Haswell desktop and a few Thinkpads that are configured near-identically. The real special sauce is Syncthing, which lets me pick up working exactly where I left off on any of my work, with any of my devices. In the morning, I can choose if I want to sit at my desk and pound some code out, or grab my T460s and dock it upstairs, or throw my x201 into my bag and take a trip into the city. No matter which one I choose, my work is always perfectly synced up and ready to go, which feels incredible to put into practice.

Here's a lightning/bonus round of other software/hardware I find nice:

- Shure SM57: a microphone that's legendary for it's acoustic/drum authenticity, but also works great for vocals if you've got a powerful enough preamp.

- Galaxy S10e: not a perfect phone by any means, but as far as budget handsets go it has me pretty impressed. Lots of premium features for a pretty low price, and it's served me well so far.

- Generic triple wireless charger: It's super nice to be able to toss things on my desk and have them topped off as I work. Mine cost $25 or something from Amazon, it shouldn't be too hard finding a similar product.

- KDE Connect: a really nice utility that handles all the extra "magic" you'd expect to find in an ecosystem, like remote control, wireless file sharing, clipboard synchronization and more.

- Blender: not much I can say here that hasn't been said already, but if you can conquer the learning curve it's truly an everything-tool.

- Betterdiscord/Spicetify: this one is dumb, but I like enforcing a consistent color scheme across my apps. I have a 10-15 line bash script that auto-rices Discord and Spotify to delicious perfection.

You presented your _opinion_ as fact, as a direct reply to my message, and so I took it in that context, that it was about our hackathons.

Also then putting hackathon in quotes in your response, implying it's not a real hackathon somehow (again in your opinion), certainly doesn't help your case.

And so this all certainly comes across as a bit of a know-it-all attitude, if you're actually looking for constructive feedback on how to participate in discussions.
None, because the borrower has almost certainly been dead for a long time.
You would also notice that all people in the paintings have two legs, two arms, and two eyes, and yet this knowledge would not help you understand Napoleonic Wars, or to predict the outcome of the war from the initial conditions, or anything like that. So the knowledge that people in the paintings have two legs, two arms, two eyes and two genders doesn't necessarily have to be vital for understanding Napoleonic Wars unless you find some strong evidence that it is.

Are you for real? Do you know that Cuba's being embargoed because Cuban Americans in Florida are an important political group?

How much more geopolitical do you have to get? You've been trying to starve an entire country for more than half a century because a bunch of your citizens are pissed off they got kicked out of there 30+ years ago and your politicians need them to win vital nation-wide elections.

Yes, I know about all the Cuban abuses and all that other garbage, but that doesn't make it right because the US is allied to <<soooo>> many other human rights violating countries and it doesn't even bat an eye.
Discord is great because of community discoverability and ease of joining IMO. My main gripe with IRC is that I need to add a whole separate server with a separate login to access different channels (which is, ofc, a feature and not a bug). This means I end up with like 4-5 different servers coexisting in my irssi instance. On top of that, I need access to a persistent server session, as some of these servers ban cloud IRC providers like IRCCloud.

Overall, Discord is just a lot better for getting small groups spun up quickly. That said, I also have to use Discord for certain work client communities (mostly in the crypto space), and it's annoying to maintain a separate professional Discord identity from my social one. The compromise I've settled on is that I use social login in the web client and work login on Desktop, but on mobile I have to pick one or the other, or do a lot of annoying login switching. So, to some extent, I totally agree. Ironically easier to SSH into my server on my phone and run tmux if I need to access my various IRC sessions.

I don't use them enough, but the replacements are interesting: they seem to mostly search for indicators of a forum (e.g the existence of a next page button).
The problem with just raising MSRP is that their pricing is far too transparent to do that. The brand damage caused by getting ahead of scalpers would be higher than the consumer surplus taken. Not to mention that, for at least some classes of goods, raising prices in response to demand is considered gouging and prohibited by law. Furthermore, for at least some of these goods[0], using a market-clearing price would actively harm other business goals.

In the example of game consoles, Sony and Microsoft aren't trying to sell you a PS5 or Xbox Series X because it makes them money. In fact, they take a loss on them even in "normal" market conditions. The point of the console is to lock you into a software ecosystem that they can charge developers a 30% tax in order to access.

Most of the money made from selling graphics cards is not by selling individual cards in retail packaging. The DIY and upgrade card markets are actually quite small. Most of the money comes from OEM design wins, system-integrator sales, and so on - markets in which the consumer is buying a fully-functional computer rather than parts.

What seems to have ultimately happened is that companies have used the introduction of new products to set new, higher prices. For example, Apple's 2021 product launches have consistently increased pricing over their replacements from prior years.

I strongly oppose all types, but the symbolic pin-prick variant that is practiced in some places seems to me to be far less of a "mutilation" than ordinary male circumcision. And yet it is considered "female genital mutilation". Now I think that we can all agree that the worst types of FGM are completely deserving of the term mutilation, but it has always struck me as a very double standard that a pin prick that has probably healed completely in a few days is called a mutilation, but literally cutting off a large part of the foreskin, leaving a permanent scar, is not.

I've had surprisingly good luck with strong-arming people into switching. The important part is having their trust, if they don't believe you they won't listen. The next part is to make simple, verifiable, and non-technical arguments for switching. Believe it or not, almost everybody is willing to take small steps if they're free.

Instead of rambling on and on about "end to end encryption" or "double-ratchet cryptographic algorithms" or other junk only nerds care about, approach it like this:

* There are no ads, and none of the messages you send can be used for advertising

* It's not owned by Facebook, Google, Microsoft, or any of the other mega-corporations, and you don't need an account on one of their sites to use it

* It will still work great if you travel, change providers, etc

* It's much safer to use on public Wi-Fi than other services or SMS

Honestly, don't even touch on law enforcement access as in the OP. That can strike a nerve for some people. The best appeals are the simple ones.
I like it more when items stay opened, instead of closing again when another item opens (like with an accordion).
Personally, I'd stall a bit and see which of the two products starts to the win the politics war. In these kinds of mergers, it's typical for areas like sales or support to merge together before the software developers. That's when it usually becomes more clear which product is going to win out.

If it's clear, for example, that your product is going to win out, then working on "import from other product" is higher priority than "export to other product".
Sure, but it wasn't so absolute. They didn't uncheck all conservatives, they just applied standards unevenly (but probably, in their minds, justifiably), which results in disproportionate results.

It's an echo chamber problem, but I'm not sure it's deliberate.
I am not aware of any surveys, but I would guess that many parents think it is the school's job to motivate students to study further math, while many schools think their only job is to teach enough students to pass the basic standardized tests, and neither side has properly communicated their beliefs.

Other parents likely believe that further math isn't necessary because they have done well without it and think their children will as well. They do not understand that a large portion of the world that was impoverished when they were growing up now have functioning education systems and are now able to compete for the same cushy jobs.
Absolutely! It's so easy in large (but I'm sure any size) orgs for teams to not appreciate or fully understand what other teams do, and what decisions get made and why.

It's certainly not necessary, but I agree with you that it can really help collaboration and decision-making even at the individual team level.

A simple underproduction (due to waste/risk avoidance or mere strategy) would create more litigation.

Which companies do you think can afford this kind of regulation? The mom and pop shop or Walmart?

Even if you ignore all of that, failure to sell enough sounds like a bizarre reason for a fine and would push the moral expectations of the law everyone has (murder, theft, violence except in self defense) even farther from the actual law of the land. To give you one example of such type of law, look at the subsidies the US taxpayers provide to billionaire sugar producers. You could easily argue that one of the most diabetic countries on the planet should not subsidize sugar, yet it still happens. These types of action lead me (and I expect others) to have a much lower respect for authority and the law

Yeah, a charitable reading of the old trust-busting laws and the motivations behind them would suggest that something like a search engine company should not have any products other than the search engine itself, lest there be a massive conflict of interest.
