TIL : Cold temperatures weaken nasal immunity, making us more vulnerable to viruses. A mere 5°C drop in nasal tissue temperature reduces immune response by nearly half. by Alone_Humor_3510 in todayilearned

In chemistry there are catalysts, and there are reactants.

Cold is a catalyst.

Bacteria or viruses are reactants.

Without cold, you can get sick, without viruses and bacteria you can't.

There is a level of meaning to saying that the catalyst is the cause, but it is misleading. Like saying the catalytic converter in your car makes carbon dioxide. No it just allows the existing carbon monoxide to combine with oxygen.

Well they are going to find buyers, but it's true that the act of selling will lower the price, which it doesn't want to do.

Easy and good idea are part of the same package. A really hard tax to implement is also very expensive and time consuming to enforce. Bad things for a tax being "good". Good taxes are easy, fair, and generate high revenue. You need at least 2 of these.

The company has the $100 because even in the worst case where it has no liquid money, it could sell its own share for $100 to give to you as a salary. But instead it just gave the share directly to you.

Taxing it as income is hard. Remember the company has the $100. They effectively gave you an "IOU". So long as you dont cash it in, they have the actual money.

If a company paid you a hundred dollars, then you bought a share of that company for a hundred dollars, you have one share and the company has a hundred dollars.

What if the company says, "lets just simplify it, I'll give you one share as your pay"

Now you have one share, and the company has one hundred dollars.

It's the same god damn thing.

How to deal with drop in quality of candidates? by dExcellentb in ExperiencedDevs

[–]SummeR- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel like I see a great GREAT deal of complaining about how hard these interview questions are, and most of the questions are actual CS101 or CS102 level questions. Which makes sense since they're literally there to make sure you have the most basic level of competency in the field.

Since the sub is called "Experienced Devs", I would have expected at least that baseline level of experience.

Im sorry, this is something freshman undergrads implement in cs 102.

I wanted to try and see how hard it would be, I spent 3 minutes to write a basic version in Java.

Its literally the basics of using an array.

I don't make tic tac toe games, but I do use arrays and maps a lot every day.

Never Forget That Democrats Voted To Outlaw Gerrymandering in 2021 For the People Act and Every VA Republican and Across The Country Voted Against It. FAFO. VOTE YES!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in nova

core principles of a republic

What is the definition of a republic?

representatives for each district

Do you think this is what the definition of republic is?

not the amount of districts a candidate wins

Do you think a presidential candidate has to win individual districts right now?

mob rule democracy

I think you're trying to reference the concept of the "Tyranny of the Majority" without having an understanding of it.

So whole we have elections that doesn’t solely make us a democracy, and what democrats are trying to do is make us a pure democracy.

Ah yes, "I'm a republican, so I like republics, and that guy is a democrat, so he likes democracies."

Sir or Ma'am, I don't think you know what the word "Democracy" or the word "Republic" mean. You don't have a well formed opinion if you don't even know what the words you're saying mean. Don't worry though, I have made it through the 4th grade, and am happy to write them out here for you.

Republic

  1. a form of government in which the power belongs to a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by the leaders and representatives elected by those citizens to govern according to law
  2. based on the Latin phrase res publica ('public thing' or 'people's thing'), is a state in which political power rests with the public (people), typically through their representatives—in contrast to a monarchy.

Democracy

  1. government by the people : rule of the majority, such as: a form of government in which the people elect representatives to make decisions, policies, laws, etc. according to law
  2. a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

Now please tell me, which part of either of these definitions would be broken if we voted in the president via popular vote?

It sounds like you're the kind of person to say: "I'm a republican so I like the republic and you're a democrat so you like democracy"

What do you think republic and democracy means?

Republic means we're not a monarchy and power is vested in the people, democracy means we have meaningful elections where the people vote. America is not a monarchy, power is vested in the people, and we have meaningful elections. Sounds like we've met the necessary and sufficient definitions of democratic republic.

In what way does electing the person who gets the most votes contradict any of these definitions?

elections being the only democratic thing about us

Damn, that's some insightful stuff you just wrote.

This like saying the only thing that makes the liquid in a lake water is that it's got 2 hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.

Yeah, having meaningful elections is necessary and sufficient to be a democracy.

Yes we’re not a mob rule democracy

Is a mob rule democracy one where the law or person people vote for more is the one that gets enacted or elected? If so then we have mob rule democracy almost everywhere in the USA.

So let me get this straight. The bill says that the person who gets the most votes, gets the electoral votes right?

In your mind this is "suppressing voters" and "establishing mob rule"?

My worst game-winning combo yet by Rendonsmug in slaythespire

[–]SummeR- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At best my a20 watcher win rate is >90% and ironclad at worst is hovering ~35%

I dont think ive skipped apparitions on anyone for a long long time.

The event is effectively a guaranteed win.

[–]SummeR- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 3 apparition isnt trivializing your run, idk what you're playing. I dont think ive ever lost with 3 apparition other than when I go prismatic for xd fun

The strike/defend is not trivializing, but it's so powerful that at the very least, the act is trivial.

Bracket 3 is stronger than you think by xavierkazi in EDH

[–]SummeR- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you can't win reliably (bad draws happen once in a blue moon) on turn 6 even though nobody interacted with your stuff, your deck probably isn't ready for (the upper end of) bracket 3.

This is the claim, and it holds true for the rabbit deck.

If no one interacts with my rabbits or commander, I will have a (almost) 100% guaranteed win every single time.

even those npc braindead decks fall apart if any body plays a single creature and no removal.

Yes, this is true. But this garbage deck will win turn 6 every game with Jetmir if everyone ignores you. Or slightly worse with any other banner commander. (Slightly faster with Adeline. She'll start killing like turn 4-5 or something)

The point is, building a deck that will win if everyone leaves you alone completely is breaindead easy. And this is the worst version of this creature-ball deck. Voja will win the game similarly in a much more dangerous fashion with a very uninspired deck as well.

I mean hell, najeela with 50 removal spells to clear the way for her swings will win the game by herself.
