Possible to use this type of service with another webhook / API a la Hubot for other services? (Say, Mattermost, for example?) I was tinkering with an NLU-style chat bot (Rasa framework) that allowed for efficient querying of this kind

“All runners shall be barefoot” is the only natural solution to the argument, as the problem is posed if I’m reading this correctly. Swimming’s handling of the sharkskin suits is likely a good precedent for a rational settling of the argume

Sometimes this means a bunch of things. For clarity, are you supervising people on the team or mostly guiding the team's work on a specific product? In addition to others' recommendations about reading "The Manager's Pat

Correction: as more info comes in, it looks like there were also actual bugs in the software that were tallying things improperly. Change management is still hard but baseline stuff seemed to be a problem.

Yeah... after more news has come out it looks like this was quite buggy. Not to mention they had two months to build it. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/04/us/politics/iowa-caucus-s...

The interface was the confusing part, not the responsiveness. Caucus precinct chiefs skew older, the app was not part of their training, and they waited until the last minute to download. This doesn’t really seem like something to pin on th

So, the Standard Oil and Bell breakups didn't work out? Do you still have to pay to rent your telephone handset hardware each month? Also I don't think in this case that the determination that something requires action to mitigate

In case folks are wondering what really matters to the man, I found this quote to be pretty great. > "Oh, it’s a nice world! I live here with my wife, we are still in love, what more do I want?"

Not to mention when you accidentally leave some data out there with a misconfigured server you’d maybe go to jail, but in their outrage people don’t think it could happen to them, or be used by someone with other goals.

100%. That said, it would be more surprising to me if he said two things in a row that were logically consistent, not hypocritical, and made sense. I do not expect consistency from that particular gentleman.

Pedantic but for clarity: CFPB is directed by a single person who serves for five years and cannot be terminated by the President except for cause, which is one of the reasons unaccountability is brought up. Folks often indicate they want a

I understand that illustrations can be powerful and valuable. I also understand from this article that nobody is willing to pay for this person's replacement, and the current freelancer quoted cannot even find it in themselves to motiv

Fair point. I am also suggesting it was a serious problem in 2012 that was already recognized by the government. Hard to think of a period in recent memory when China has not been considered a threat for this kind of thing. Furthermore, jux

It’s not a conflict of interest, it’s a lie on a background check that likely would have lost him the DoD grants. I don’t think anyone is saying “don’t establish a lab” but if someone asks you whether you’re being paid by foreign interests

He lied on a sworn affidavit, basically, when going out for his grants which includes a background check. You swear your statements to be true. He lied. It doesn’t matter what country is in vogue at the time, and in 2012 China was very much

Why 1080 on the 24”? I get not moving your head, but lower resolution seems odd. I found going from Retina to 1080p was a bit jarring / pixelated.

Maybe a Congressperson sees the possibility of crypto currency as a currency and wants to lower barriers on behalf of companies working on this?

This is a good strategy for contentious topics. That said, I would argue that the best thing in this situation to get the task done is to call the person. That way you can hear them, react to them, and the task is done at the end of the cal

Not for nothing, but doesn't the occasional fire help habitats overall? I would expect ground-based seedlings in a canyon to perhaps regrow, and perhaps they have had a few fires over the millions of years of their existence? https:&#

This seems like a reasonable way to ask the question "do we want to expand" as a population every so often, provided it's not to hard to change, and it doesn't promote NIMBY issues that reduce supply and overall growth o

“Rotary and Mission Systems, which makes Sikorsky helicopters and ships, ended the year strong with quarterly net sales up 14 percent to $4.35 billion from $3.81 billion.“ Quarterly. That’s a lot of luggage. Also you can’t easily replicate

I thought my reply boiled down to “we’d need a lot of people’s opinions on policy to change to set things up”. I was mostly providing a counterpoint to “of course bike friendly cities!” opinions which may not consider the limitations impose

Sorry, I wasn’t super clear there. In the Netherlands you are prevented from building new dwellings in many places to preserve farmland. This is an explicit decision by the government (and the Dutch people) because that part of the culture

If you could afford a large house with a yard, a few minutes drive from a walkable downtown, would you want to be told that instead of building that home you have to live in a dense downtown because you cannot build your house with a yard t

This is true, but it's not trade-off free. It requires tight control over zoning and any new housing development. It is difficult to do this type of development in the United States without a much higher degree of centralized planning

I'll have to dig deeper into the creation mechanic but this would fill a need that I've got to recreate table-top games but for distributed groups of friends that haven't been able to devote the same amount of time as before

Sure, this is absolutely true. That said, if you can test a prototype for $100 and validate the business idea it's easier to figure out how to pay for (and/or that it is worth spending the time building yourself) the better, built
