If it's rigged, then it's rigged in the parties and only the party members who bother to show up at the party meetings should be complaining about it. Someone passively calling themselves a Democrat without being involved in the party really has no leg to stand on when they complain it's rigged. In some sense, the party primaries aren't even supposed to be "fair" to the public, they're only intended to be fair to the active members of the party (those who are involved in party business as opposed to those who just vote in primaries after having checked a box on a form).
The rules are stated up front by each party. Agreeing to the rules up front should mean that you don't Trump-out and bitch about it later or ask it to change and become a popularity contest when things don't go your way. The parties are private organizations and they can do whatever they hell they want. Democrats won't let me (not a party member) vote in their primaries in CA, Republicans will let me vote in theirs, just two groups with two different sets of rules.
The parties are the way they are because the people who bother to attend the meetings are the ones who get to vote on the rules. If someone doesn't like it then they need to get involved with the party by far more than checking a box on a voter registration form.
And you expect an Uber driver to show up in the next 30 seconds? What if you need an early morning ride to the airport, do you really expect that "8 am sharp" to be within 2 minutes? No one is tuned to the clock that tightly.
Rabid puppies is about voting for who you're told to vote for. People who've never been interested in science fiction before are being asked to join up and vote in a sci-fi version of the culture wars.
It's a popularity contest basically. One guy (ONE) has gotten a group of followers who probably don't even read science fiction to vote for his choices. All he has to do is say "help me fight SJWs" and the morons line up to do his bidding.
It's an interesting idea. But it's off topic since we're talking about emojis here, which do not replace words with pictures but instead enhance vapid thoughts with pictures.
Yes, but they should be in different standards consortiums. Unicode is for languages. Emoji standardization should be done by a consortium of clown colleges.
But were those used to actually communicate? Then that's fine. Emojis don't go that far. There are people who think it's communication but it isn't, the ambiguity in their meaning is vast and the fact that Unicode committee is ironic in that it wants to standardize the ambiguity. They've barely been around long enough to even be a fad (no, they're not just smileys). The only communicating they do is to inform the reader that the tweet was written by a moron (and if this applies to you, then the good news is that there may be help for your condition).
They've already had these twitter like ads, they rush to get their message in before the 5 seconds is up and you can skip them. There's one that even makes a joke about getting the message out before he could be skipped.
Or what I do, just hit back button to not watch the advertisement or the video. And there are already 30 second unskippable ads, those are quite annoying.
I find it hard to find people who are reasonably competent in C though. Some of them are baffled why I waste time putting in "const" (I'm not makign that up). People with experience in it often are using a 70s era understanding of it, people without experience I spend too much time training them.
Domain is useful, but I agree there's too much emphasis on it. But experience is useful. Do they understand device drivers of any kind, multi-tasking, real time operating systems, or anything please other than Linux or Windows middleware. I want to know if I'm going to waste my own time doing half of the new hire's job.
Working with friends is tough. If everyone's under pressure then it's hard to stay friends, or your friends are really morons and are screwing things up and making your life harder. At the end of a stressful day, I don't want to see any more of them. Sometimes it's easier to treat them as coworkers without emotional attachments. I've seen some coworkers leave and join friends (then you see three or four leave), and the excuse is that they want to work with their friends at a startup. A year later they're all looking for jobs again but at different locations.
Well, I usually start the interview with hope, but that turns to disappointment when the millenial turns out to know nothing, and despair when the 40 something is also clueless. Overall though it's easier to find the 40/50/60 people to know something other than IT and web apps.
I am often below 19fps. You only need it faster than 30 if you're doing something like pvp. Newer games aren't usually better than older games anyway, all pvp shooters, shooters on rails, rails on rails, etc. Ie, right now I'm below minimum specs for Fallout 4 and it plays great.
What's more likely is that some alien mother will come in and tell the alien child "Time for bed, shut that off now." Then the alien child will say "But moooom! This is the best part, they're trying to figure out if I exist or not!

This shows that there are distinct advantages to paying with cash.

They can just leave after 2 minutes. Any normal taxi service will wait a while and then leave.

Too bad we never had the Unicode consortium standardize on the geocities page design or they'd still be around today.

Clippy says: "it looks like you're writing something stupid with emojis, would you like me to help you with that?"
We never called ASCII art a "digital language for the future" though.

50 merits deducted for not looking at the ad. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2089049/)

Don't make me stop this car!

Who wants to hire a rock star? I want to hire someone who can do the job, and the job doesn't involve preening and prancing and ego.

If they don't do proper tail recursion, then it would be interesting to watch it unwind on the first exception.

Unless you're running Pro, in which case it's still mandatory but at least you have a few months to let the Home users be the beta testers.
