If you think the things professional gamers do are not challenging or that they don't do them well, then you are probably just not familiar with what they do. I assure you, an average level enthusiastic gamer would get destroyed by a professional.
What a terrible idea. My high schooler starts at 7:15 and it's just too early for teenagers. My middle schooler has trouble waking up for 8:30 school and I'm worried how he's going to cope when he starts high school.
No, the people who just sit around doing nothing all day. Because that's what government employees do, of course, not important work./s because sadly it is probably necessary
A lot more in some places. In rural areas people can live many miles from the nearest school. You would need little bitty schools that serve the handful of families in walking or biking distance. I think the one-room rural schoolhouse is probably not going to make a comeback though.
- It's being filed in a federal court, therefore the jurisdiction of the court is probably "all of the USA"
I had a hard time finding information on this, but I thought only the Supreme Court has jurisdiction over the whole country (other than some courts in specialized areas). I'm pretty sure the decisions of circuit courts are only binding within that circuit, which would seem to imply they can only hear cases that arise from within the circuit in some way. Anyone have more information?
you've fallen victim to believing U.S. sensationalism and propaganda
Well, one of those sources was Chinese. And I don't know what the real number is, but there is more than one person who has looked into it and believes it is at least 10,000, and at least one of those people has a vested interest in reporting the lowest number possible. The article you linked cites "Mayor Chen Xitong of Beijing, who is in prison for corruption" as the source for the 200 number. Not the most reliable witness there.
I very much doubt you know the number is less than 1,000. But if you have hard evidence of that, please share. It seems much more likely to me that you have fallen victim to Chinese propaganda.
Finally, also from your source:
Ms. Woodman argued that the question of fatalities distracted attention from a more important issue, that the army followed orders to carry out a massacre of unarmed civilians.
''They fired at random,'' she said. ''No warnings were given. They prevented evacuation. They fired at people who were running away. This was not about crowd control. This was a massacre.''
So are you trying to distract from the undisputed fact that the Chinese military fired indiscriminately on unarmed civilians? Whether they killed 200 or 10,000 is an important issue, but even 200 is horrifying.
I keep hearing about the end of jobs yet when I look around I see no end of things that need to be done.
The question is how long will there be enough jobs that people are willing to pay enough to get done?
Make them visit them and keep them company to qualify for UBI. Make them pick up litter or clean up graffiti. No end of tasks, just an unwillingness to ask something because it's easier to just write the check rather than make the world a better place.
Those are great ideas, and I'm sure there are many many more. Work that doesn't get done based on market forces, but would benefit society. I'd say it kills two birds with one stone too, because while leisure time is great, people also benefit from having something productive to do.
If we could avoid a huge stigma of accepting one of these UBI jobs that would be great. I could see people with "normal" jobs looking down on the UBI people just as many do on people who use whatever food stamps are called now.
Your mileage may vary - I have a 100% success rate buying second hand books from Amazon for example. Every time I see these stories I wonder if these delivery problems are a regional thing, because I just never have any issues.
How do you tell the difference between an empty package and one containing a single SD card? or a poster? Et cetera, et cetera. I'm sure these drivers are used to delivering packages that feel empty every single day.
That is the risk you take when you have something delivered. In my experience it's worked out well and I've seldom if ever had anything arrive broken due to delivery or shipping methods, but it happens. If that risk isn't acceptable, go buy the router at a store where you can inspect the package before buying, or order an extra router so you have a spare in case yours stops working.
What about the "representatives from both (all) parties" thing? Why would the rep from Party A stand by while the election officials rig the election in favor of Party B?
"In 2004, a federal immigration judge ordered that Mr. Palij be deported. But for years, American officials failed to persuade any country to accept a man born in what was once Poland and is now Ukraine, and who had served a murderous German regime."
2004. Trump had nothing to do with it. I would guess Bush didn't even have anything to do with it, but Trump certainly didn't.
nothing actually happened in Tiananmen square, protester being killed under martial law happened elsewhere in Beijing that day... and not thousands either.
"A member of the Chinese State Council estimated that at least 10,000 civilians were killed"
"In 2014, Next Magazine reported on White House declassified files, which estimated that 10,454 were killed and 40,000 were injured."
A million developers rewriting all 17 of those libraries from scratch (or just the parts they need) would be no better. You think software is buggy now?
To me it seems the only major problem with NPM is that it pulls in dependencies at runtime, so that something that worked this morning can stop working if someone else deletes a dependency. I guess they're working on that since the debacle a few months ago. By contrast, in Android development third party libraries are integrated at compile time, so if one of them is gone, I will not be able to build the app without making changes, but the already deployed app keeps working just fine.

Single player games with no scoring are not played professionally*. I've never heard of professional single player gaming at all, but it's possible.
* I'm not counting people who make money by streaming themselves playing games
You have one of multiple definitions.
If you think the things professional gamers do are not challenging or that they don't do them well, then you are probably just not familiar with what they do. I assure you, an average level enthusiastic gamer would get destroyed by a professional.
if there are child predators outside who pray and kinds walking to school by themselves at an earlier age.
There almost certainly aren't.

If necessary more smaller school
A lot more in some places. In rural areas people can live many miles from the nearest school. You would need little bitty schools that serve the handful of families in walking or biking distance. I think the one-room rural schoolhouse is probably not going to make a comeback though.
It's not generally accepted to leave 6 year olds home alone in the US.
Have you actually found companies willing to share information on their CEO with a non-employee?
It used to be 28 years (sort of). What it's supposed to be is a matter of opinion. I would say 28 years is too long.

He didn't say "should".

That is interesting.

My boss says the main question any customer ever asks - often the only question - is "when will it be done?"
To me it seems the only major problem with NPM is that it pulls in dependencies at runtime, so that something that worked this morning can stop working if someone else deletes a dependency.

What we need are clever, powerful, rigorously proven correct tools to manage complexity and improve quality
Who is going to pay for that?
