What is your review of 'Dil Bechara' (2020 movie)? | In an argument by James P carse in his book Finite and Infinite Games, He summarizes his argument as
There are at least two kinds of games: finite and infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play
The finite game is about losing or winning the game. It is about reviewing his performance in his last movie. It is about impeding his legacy. There would be black and white and it would be immensely boring. We can give a plethora of contexts or words to measure his performance but I believe it would not be a justice to his genius. It would limit him as an artist.
Now, He is beyond entropy. He is beyond death. He is playing the infinite game. Yesterday I was not watching the movie to judge screenplay or dialogue or pace of the character development but I was enjoying the liveliness of the genius. His smile was transcending the lens of the camera.
And one of the particular thing that moved me was that In the movie, Sushant's character died before watching his own movie. Isn’t it a heart-wrenching incidence? In the movie, without building his character Manny’s demise was all of a sudden and in real life we all know what happened.
So, I think his brilliance doesn’t need to be reviewed and sometimes an old archaic beautiful painting needs us to get lost in it.

Before legalization, what did people think zig zags were used for? | Rolling cigarettes or rolling joints. I used to carry a can of Prince Albert tobacco with a package of 1&1/4″ zig-zags in it to roll my own cigarettes. Used zig-zags because that’s what I was used to for some reason. Whenever I’d light one up in a cafe or bar everybody that didn’t know me would be giving me funny looks until they were sure by the smell that I wasn’t smoking pot.

Have you ever been judged for your appearance? | Yes! Yes! and Yes!
I can, without any past recollection, write a book on this but it won’t sell. *winks* For the time being, the following examples would do-
1. Whenever I secured top rank in college or performed academically well anywhere else, my peers often assumed that the faculty gave me extra credits based on my looks and looks alone. *Facepalm*
2. Just because I am not traditional, people have a hard time believing that I happen to be a religious person who prays regularly. *Eye-rolls*
3. I am thin (not anorexic kind of thin) for my country’s standards. Every time I tell someone that I ran 5 kilometers in 22 minutes, they get skeptical and start rolling their eyes as if some malnourished kid just falsely bragged that he gets chicken wings for dinner, everyday. *Oh! Come on! Catch up with me on the track some day, you mass of prejudices!*
4. Also, I am taller than most of the girls around me. So, it goes without saying that I’ve been suggested to play basketball or try my luck in modelling just because the GIFT that I am blessed with, my HEIGHT, would not go WASTE regardless of my intellectual interests. *Speak of the stereotypes*
5. I don’t speak with EVERYBODY. I am actually shy and reserved around those I barely know whereas, I am ridiculously gregarious and extroverted when I am surrounded by my folks. Apparently, judgmental sort of humans who have not the slightest insight about my heart and mind assume that I’m snobbish, egoistic, vain and god forbid narcissistic, to say the least. *NOTE to those first rate jury members - Please try and talk before you judge me so bitterly.*
I think this quote by my favorite, James Stewart from the movie ‘The Shop Around the Corner’ impeccably fits here. :)That’s what most of the people do- they just look at the surface and ASSUME!

I want to use C++ to learn Machine Learning instead of Python or R, is it fine? | If you’re more convenient and skillful in C++, feel free to do it in C++. Even if everyone else says it’s easier in Python or R, but if you don’t have adequate knowledge of them, you will end up learning them along ML, which makes your life more difficult because you’re learning two things at once. There’s only a few computer programming topics that links to specific language, ML is not one of them. Proficient in ASM? Feel free to do ML in ASM.

Have the Democrats ever been as far to the left as they are in the 2019/2020 election cycle? | No, never. Republicans have now moved so far to the right that even moderate Republicans are viewed as radical left by many Republicans. Most modern Republicans make the Nazis of the WWII era look moderate.
Republicans are now so far to the right that Democrats are truly on another planet (the Earth) by comparison.
Just note: most US democrats would be regarded as “right wing” in most other nations.

What is the difference between granite and marble? | Granite and marble, both are used in kitchens and bathrooms for flooring and other interior purposes. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages in the [LINKED_TEXT: B2B stone marketplace] [URL: https://buymystone.com/]. So it is important to make a comparison before selecting any one of the two. There are some major differences between both stones which are important to be understood. These are given below:

Granite is originated form the cooling down of molten magma whereas the marble is formed by the metamorphic rocks. The sedimentary rocks turn into metamorphic rocks when they stay under the earth for a longer period.
· Granite has various colors while marble has a fewer color option. Granite has an appearance of flecks particles while marble has swirling designs in it.
· Talking about the durability of both the stones, it can be said that granite is more durable and strong as compared to marble. This can be evidenced by the fact that the hardness of granite is 7 Mohs scale and the hardness of marble is 3 Mohs scale.
· When it comes to cleaning of both the stones, the cleaning of granite is much easier than the cleaning of marble.

What is a do-follow backlink? | Dofollow link
A dofollow link is a link that helps in terms of SEO by passing the authority of the origin site to the destination site. This passing of authority is called, “link juice.” Acquiring dofollow backlinks will help improve a website’s domain authority, or domain rating, which in turn, helps to improve keyword ranking.
By default, links are dofollow, so there is no need for rel=”dofollow” when linking to a website.
Nofollow link
A nofollow link, or backlink, is a link which does not pass authority on to the website it is linking to. These links do not help in terms of SEO.
To make a link nofollow, add rel=”nofollow” to the code when linking to a website.

I have a theory that Gamma-ray bursts are really planets setting off imploded cylindrical uranium, gun type nuclear devices and gamma ray lazing. Does anyone have any comments? | Great theory!
Now, what do you have to support it?
Can it be independently verified?
If you can cobble together some semi hard science, you can probably use it as a sci-fi type weapon.
As it is, frankly you don't sound like you know enough to even know why you might be correct or incorrect. Yes, it sounds cool, but your weapon is a hit of a mixed metaphor.
“Imploded cylindrical uranium”

Why is Justin Trudeau being compared to Hitler by Elon Musk, Bill Maher, and other celebrities? Is his leadership of Canada becoming so despotic? | Hitler comparisons are a dime a dozen in modern discourse, routinely thrown at anybody and everybody who does anything the person who’s invoking Hitler doesn’t like.
I’ve been called “Hitler” simply for following the established rules of a cooperative board meeting I was chairing.
So no, being compared to Hitler isn’t proof in and of itself that somebody’s being fascist or despotic. It’s just one of those go-to insults that people turn to when they’ve run out of real arguments and start namecalling instead, and means about as much as a seven-year-old kid in the playground calling his classmate “poopyface”.
Please also familiarize yourself with “Godwin’s Law”, which posits that the person who trots out the Hitler metaphors in a discussion or debate has automatically lost the argument.

What are the differences between muscle tissue and epithelial tissue? | Let me share Kyree Randall 's experience to build amazing muscles as below. Thank Kyree Randall. Question: What are the differences between muscle tissue and epithelial tissue?
TOP 10 TIPS TO BUILD YOUR MUSCLES IN 3 WEEKS.
1. Get Stronger.
The best bodybuilders that ever existed were strong. They knew more strength is more muscle. Increase your Squat to 140kg/300lb, Bench Press to 100kg/220lb, and Deadlift to 180kg/400lb. Your overall muscle mass will increase because strength is size.
2. Add Weight.
Forget about pump and soreness. Instead focus on adding weight on the bar. Try to lift more than last time. You’ll get stronger which will increase your overall muscle mass. If you don’t lift more today than last month or year, you’re not building muscle.
Useful frree ebook: [LINKED_TEXT: 101 muscle building sercrets] [URL: https://musclebuilder888.blogspot.com/2019/09/101-muscle-building-sercrets.html]
3. Do Compounds.
Do exercises that work several muscles at the same time. You’ll be able to lift heavier weights which will trigger more muscle growth. The bulk of your routine should consist of heavy Squats, Bench, Deadlifts, Overhead Presses and Barbell Rows.
4. Use Barbells.
You can lift heavier weights with barbells than any other tools. You also have to balance the weight yourself. Barbells involve more muscles and trigger more growth. Use free weights not attached to machines. Start light and use proper form to avoid injury.
5. Increase Frequency.
The more often you train a muscle, the more you trigger it to grow. The more you do an exercise, the quicker your technique improves, and the heavier you can lift. Start Squatting, pressing and pulling three times a week instead of only once.
6. Recover.
Your muscles need to recover from your workouts to grow stronger and bigger. They can’t recover if you work them hard every day. Even your mind needs a break. Take three to four rest days a week. Help your muscles recover by getting plenty of food, water and sleep.
7. Eat More.
Your body uses food to fuel workouts, and recover muscles. Your muscles can’t recover and grow if there’s a shortage of food. Most guys need at least 3000kcal/day to build muscle. Skinny guys with high metabolisms need even more to gain weight.
8. Eat Protein.
Your body uses protein to build new muscle, and recover damaged muscle tissue post-workout. You need about 1.8g protein per kilogram of body-weight (0.82g/lb) to maximize muscle recovery and build muscle. For an 80kg/175lb guy, that’s about 135g of protein per day.
9. Get Real.
You can’t get steroid-like results without using steroids. You can’t turn into Arnold in three months because building muscle takes time. Celebrities set unrealistic expectations. Stop trying to look like them. Focus on improving yourself. It will save you frustration.
10. Be Consistent.
Most guys gain 0.25kg/0.5lb of lean muscle per week if they do an effective training program and eat well. You can’t gain muscle faster than this. It takes a year to gain 12kg/24lb of lean muscle and see dramatic change. Consistency is therefore key.

Why is defence production low in India compared to China? | Because our budget for expenditure on defence is relatively less in view of a lower GDP compared o China. We need to first adress our more important issues like poverty general health and education before we can increase our budget on defence.

What is the advantage of eSIM over a normal SIM? | In the world of mobile communications, the debate over the superiority of eSIM versus standard SIM cards rages on. While traditional SIM cards have long been the norm, eSIM technology is quickly gaining ground as the new standard. In this answer, we will delve into the advantages of eSIM technology and explore why it is better than a standard SIM card.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a tiny chip that is embedded within your mobile device, acting as a SIM card. Unlike a traditional SIM card that you can remove from your phone, eSIMs are built into the device and cannot be removed. The information stored on an eSIM is rewritable, allowing for easy switching between different mobile operators with just a quick phone call.
Advantages of eSIM technology
Convenience
Using eSIM technology allows you to have multiple mobile subscriptions on a single device, eliminating the need for carrying multiple physical SIM cards. With eSIM technology, you can easily switch between different mobile operators and plans without having to physically swap SIM cards. This convenience is especially beneficial for frequent travelers or those who use multiple mobile networks for different purposes.
Security
eSIM technology offers enhanced security over traditional SIM cards, as it is tamper-proof and cannot be physically removed from the device. This makes it more difficult for hackers to steal your SIM card and obtain sensitive information, such as your personal identification number (PIN) and passwords.
Increased Storage Space
As eSIMs are built into the device, they free up space that would otherwise be occupied by a physical SIM card. This allows for the inclusion of larger batteries, more memory, and other components in the device, without having to increase the size of the phone.
Environmentally Friendly
eSIM technology eliminates the need for physical SIM cards, reducing plastic waste and e-waste. This makes it a more environmentally friendly option for mobile communication.
eSIM vs. Standard SIM: Which is Better?
When it comes to comparing eSIMs and standard SIMs, the choice ultimately depends on your personal needs and preferences. However, it's clear that eSIM technology offers several advantages over traditional SIM cards.
In conclusion, eSIM technology is the way of the future, offering enhanced security, convenience, increased storage space, and eco-friendliness. While standard SIM cards may still be the norm for now, it's only a matter of time before eSIMs become the new standard in mobile communications.

Can I get a work permit for Canada for myself and my brother at the same time? We don't have relatives in Canada. | You need job offers, not relatives. I will also warn, getting a genuine job offer while being outside of Canada is extremely tough, unless you have option of inter-company transfer from your current employer, or you have some rare technical skills. Going out looking for a job offer can land you in the hands of scammers, who will promise a job and rob you of a huge amount of money. Do not trust any agency promising you a job in Canada in exchange of a large sum of money. It is Illegal for employers to charge ANY amount of money from their prospective employees.

Why do we need website usability? | What is website usability?
Usability is a qualitative indicator of the simplicity and convenience of working with the site. A site can be considered successful if the user quickly finds the information he needs, does not get confused in the functionality, and easily performs targeted actions. Of course, the company's employees additionally need to take care of quality customer service - competent advice, fast delivery, and respectful service. A satisfied customer, the user will return to the site, recommend the seller or service provider to his friends and leave positive feedback.
The essence of usability lies not so much in the perception of the site design, but in building an effective dialogue with users and providing an opportunity to intuitively, without obstacles and difficulties, find the right offer and perform the targeted action.
Why do we need usability optimization?
If a person, having entered the site, does not find the necessary information, product, or service, does not understand the scope of the company or does not see action buttons or online forms, he will most likely leave for a competitor. It makes no sense to deal with the intricacies of work if you can simply find a similar, but more thoughtful and convenient site.In addition to traffic and conversions, usability affects SEO promotion. Behavioral factors, high page loading speed, and the absence of “broken” links and duplicates have a positive effect on ranking. In turn, a user-friendly website and effective promotion increase audience confidence and increase sales.
Key components of website usability
1. Structured content. For the user to easily find the product or service he needs on the site, it is necessary to correctly distribute the offers into categories and sections. Before opening a particular page, the visitor must have an idea about its content.
2. Design. The design style does not directly affect the usability of the web resource, but the perception of the site by users still depends on it. The emphasis should be on a minimalistic, "non-flashy" design that does not distract from the perception of important information. The design must necessarily correspond to the text content, the theme of the site, and corporate principles. It is important to follow current trends.
3. Navigation. Having opened the site, the user should immediately understand where to find the information or product he needs. The navigation system is part of the site structure and is represented by hyperlinks that are responsible for transitions between sections, providing information about goods and services, and filtering offers by parameters.
4. Displaying the site on various devices and in different browsers. The correct operation of the resource on stationary and mobile devices ensures maximum audience coverage, reduces the bounce rate, and has a positive effect on conversion. A responsive and cross-browser website is a powerful business tool.
5. The quality of the information provided. The text content of the resource should be not only structured but also useful for the user. From this point of view, it is necessary to take care that on the pages of the resource a potential buyer can find out comprehensive information about the product or service, about the methods of payment and delivery.
6. The minimum path to the target action. For a person to make a purchase, order a service or leave their contact details, it is necessary to simplify the process as much as possible. The fewer fields to fill out, the better. Navigation should also be made as simple as possible. More than 25% of users refuse to place an order due to an overly complex algorithm of actions.
7. Performance. Even a beautifully designed and well-structured site can turn off the user if the pages load slowly. Modern users are very impatient, and the slow operation of the site annoys them.
For which sites is usability important?
Analysis and work to improve usability are necessary for all sites, without exception:
• online stores. A well-designed structure and functionality of the site make it possible to quickly find the right product or category, purchase without outside help, make a payment, and order delivery. A friendly and convenient site encourages the buyer to repeat purchases;
• service sites. Providing complete information about services and terms of cooperation on the pages allows users to quickly decide the order and saves employees time on answering calls and detailed consultations;
• information sites. Portals with a beautiful design, fresh and interesting content, and thoughtful and concise structure attract a large number of users and, accordingly, make it possible to make good money on advertising.
A clear interface, logical structure, high-quality content, and ease of performing targeted actions increase website conversion, positively affect brand reputation sales, do not distract employees for calls, and save money on technical support.

What’s the point of the British guards (red suits and black hats)? Are they actually trained to take down threats? What weapons do they have? | What’s the point of the British guards (red suits and black hats)? Are they actually trained to take down threats? What weapons do they have?
I’ll address these separately.
What’s the point of the British guards (red suits and black hats)?
They’re called The Queen’s Guard, and the point of them is to guard the Queen and the Royal residences. They’re not purely ceremonial, they really are on guard duty, the same as they would be at a military base. Guarding the Queen is considered a privilege and they take it quite seriously.
Are they actually trained to take down threats?
They are all, without exception, serving soldiers. Guard Duty happens on rotation, with one company from a single regiment performing it at any given time. Technically any regiment in the British Armed Forces (any of the three services) can perform it, but this privilege is usually reserved for the five regiments of Foot Guards which pre-date the restoration of the Crown; namely The Grenadier Guards, The Coldstream Guards, The Scots Guards, The Irish Guards, and The Welsh Guards.
All are serving infantry regiments who had men serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as earlier conflicts. The scarlet tunics and bearskin hats are their “full dress” uniform, which is only worn on formal occasions- otherwise they dress in normal army fatigues.

What weapons do they have?
On guard duty they carry their standard-issue SA80 L85A2 assault rifles with bayonets fixed. Yes, the rifles are loaded, and yes, they can shoot you if they believe you represent a threat.

What is the best way to start learning PHP? | It’s not been mentioned so I thought I’d throw in my 2 cents worth.

Highly recommend you give it a go.

What do teenagers wish adults understood? | That the concept of "respected is earned, not given" applies to us to.
I'm not saying you have to automatically respect me if I'm a piece of shit. But if you constantly treat your child badly, you are not entitled to respect just because of your age.
We have boundaries as well
Constantly I have seen parents joke about things they think is funny but are actually detrimental to their kid's self esteem. My relatives would do this to me, as well as my parents. When I would express my frustration, I was told I have a "bad attitude".
The things you say can upset us, as can then things we say upset you.
Don't make me your carbon copy
Your child is not you. They are their own separate being. Sexual reproduction produces genetic variation, while asexual reproduction produces the same copy. Growing up I was always told by my father that I should become a doctor, because that’s what he would’ve done if he was in my position. Anything other than a job in the medical field was seen as bad. I was just an instrument to fulfill someone’s uncompleted dream.

When you look back to your Pre-Medical preparation days, do you feel it was all worth it? | Pre Med preparation for 2 years was probably the lowest point of my life so far.
No kidding.
I was bundled off to study at a far away place from my home town.
Leaving your family and home at 14 with slim chances of coming back any time soon was really really painful.
I finished at the top of my class in 10th standard with a very good score of 95% at state boards, the top centile!
Alas! the ecstasy was short lived only to be replaced by the fear and anxiety of pre med prep and exposure to alien lands and culture 😐
At Vijayawada, the new “lambs” were ushered in a quick yet harsh MCQ test to pack us into sections of students based on scores.
There was this haggling about discount of fee based on 10th marks and MCQ test.
We had a routine of waking at 5 AM followed by a wake up drink of cheap milk powder based formula. Yuck!
Sleepily we attended the morning classes, half hungry most times.
A short break for breakfast which was kind of a lottery as most days it was beyond edible to normal people.
The saga continued till afternoon then we had mandatory study hours to go through the syllabus with fixed hours for each subject. WTF. I thought we were to spend more time on subjects we didn’t do well. But who cares, everyone was following the “rules”.
There was this weird perversion to make things complicated than it already was with useless appeals to how romantic a life in med school was or unnecessary additions to the prescribed syllabus.
It continued for 2 years 24*7*365. It was so mind numbing. The outings beyond campus were brief and once a week where most were encouraged not to waste even that little time off. I really don't think human brain works that way. It needs time off for maintenance.
Few poor souls took this to a whole new level with studying non stop without sleep. Again, not really a long term optimal solution.
Mistakes at weekend, cumulative or grand tests were taken seriously and at one point I got the question paper thrown at my face from an angry lecturer as he thought I made a very silly mistake. 😞 No online test does this to me now, further it provides a very detailed explanation of why other options are wrong. Good old days were not so good after all 😒
Most students were stinking as the water problem was a big issue added to lack of time and close proximity to multiple people in small spaces. Yeeks🤫
Most teachers were at best mediocre and had no clue as to what the learning objectives for a session should be. So much for the glossy prospectus they print out every year LOL
Now the next part of question, was it worth it?
I think the whole thing can be done in a more civilised manner with the advent of online classes.For all the drudgery, I felt I was successful in getting into a govt. college despite the pathetic guidance and value for fee I got except for a few lecturers who were great.It kind of laid a foundation for 12 years of medical career which was no less than a world class experience in terms of clinical exposure so far.
System was BS but my efforts did pay off and I don’t regret it except for the occasional PTSD episodes I get when I think of those years 😅

Why is Magneto not strictly a villain? | Magneto is definitely a villain, but he is a “complicated villain”. As such, he has a more complex and understandable motivation for why he acts as he does. However, at the end of the day, the attitudes, ideas and actions that he undertakes are essentially driven by the darkest and most savage impulses of human nature and have profoundly negative consequences for most people. Thus, he is definitely a villain. The “complex” part of Magneto’s story is that he is a Holocaust survivor who later lost his first child to an angry mob. These experiences help to explain his rage against humans. However, these experiences have also made him deeply and profoundly racist. This is something that should not be sugar-coated: Magneto is an unrepentant racist. How deep that racism goes depends on the version of the character you are looking at. (So, in the comics, he has had romantic relationships with human women; in the movies, he abandoned Mystique [X-Men: The Last Stand] when she lost her powers saving him - without her powers, she was nothing to him). Even so, it is a consistent part of the character. He cares only for mutants; he is quite willing to harm humans if it means advantaging mutants and he is absolutely convinced of the reality of his (and his group’s) racial superiority - an interesting conviction when one considers his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. In the present Marvel Universe, Magneto’s ethnonationalist worldview has been largely adopted by the X-Men and their founder, Charles Xavier (this is circa 2019–2020), but it does not make his ideas and attitudes any less harmful or destructive. This sense of racial superiority informs all of Magneto’s actions and makes it impossible for him to be other than a “villain,” however complicated his motivations may be.

Why do you need to use command prompt? | This question should have included “if you are under 50”. But it didn’t, so…
Why do I need to use the command prompt? Because it was better than keypunch cards. My introduction to the command line was during that time.
Then came the IBM PC with PC-DOS, and shortly after, generic PCs with MS-DOS. Command-line is all there was (for PCs).
Then along came Windows. Then Windows first came out, it had very limited usefulness.
So I’ve been using the command prompt twice as long as a GUI. How long is that? Look back at the first line.

Learning programming: When is it appropriate to use UDP instead of TCP? | Short answer: when you want data a little faster, with significantly less variability, but don’t mind dealing with the downsides (data will be in a random order, you have to think more about the sizes of stuff you are sending, and some of the data might be lost).
TCP/IP has some great guarantees: after the sender sends a bunch of data, the client will generally get all the data that was sent in order, with no duplicates, and with some good validation for correctness. The alternative is that the receiver will get just some of the data and (eventually) some kind of notification that the data isn’t ever going to arrive.
The TCP guarantees make it easy to write lots of different kinds of programs. For example, if you send a big image using TCP/IP, all of the data will arrive in order, making it easier to handle the image.
The downside is that when an individual TCP/IP packet is lost, the TCP/IP system will re-request the lost packet and won’t release any of the already-received data until the lost packet’s duplicate is send and received. This can take a while. This is called the “head of line” problem.
Some systems are sensitive to latency and variation in latency. Games and Video Chat are two common cases. These kinds of programs are often written to use UDP just to avoid the head of line problem.

Without appealing to emotion or using ad hominem attacks, how can I convince conservatives that gun regulation is a good thing? | The reason conservatives oppose gun regulation is because non-conservatives are for it. Almost universally non conservatives would like their children to not be murdered at school. Almost universally non conservatives would like terrorists to not kill people. Therefore it makes a good position to unite people who are cool with terrorists terrorizing and their own children being murdered.
It's the same reason conservatives are anti Vax. You have to value winning politics more than your life or the lives of your children to be anti Vax.
To a conservative ensuring that criminals have access to guns to murder the conservatives children is a good thing. Do you want to win the battle? Or do you want to win the war?
Tactic one: “OK, what will you trade for it?” Offer them complete de regulation of guns. And in trade, legalized abortions. You get one we get one. Conservatives don't want guns, they want the fight. Don't fight. Trade.
Tactic two: “forget guns, go for the cause”. Suggest that to avoid gun violence we could give health care including mental health care. Suggest funding gun safety classes. Suggest funding social workers to reduce domestic violence. This will put them on their heels. Protesting that we can't hire social workers. Point out that guns must not be very important if you are unwilling to pay a little money to keep them.
Tactic three: “don't be anti gun” when they claim you want to regulate guns, tell them you don't. You want to stop gun suicides, domestic violence, terrorism, murders at schools. Push the conversation to that. If they say “you want to ban silencers” say, “no I don't, how would that stop school shootings?” They practice all these quips and comebacks. Never set them up.
Tactic four: “mostly not my problem” most people who get killed or injured by guns are gun owners. 99% of the solution is to not own guns, and/or take care of them properly. The number one way to shut down most of their arguments is to own a gun. The number two way is to point out that the problem mostly affects conservatives. Not owning a gun means I'm safe, not having friends with guns is double safe.
Bonus round: “conservatives might shoot you” at some point in the exchange they will mention that you need guns to shoot other people with guns. Or make an indirect threat about conservatives shooting you. Ask “so your argument against gun control is that you need guns so you can murder people who disagree with you? And you think this is a good argument for less regulation of guns?
Conservatives don't want guns. They want the fight. They also memorized tons of gun facts. Like the difference between a clip and a magazine. (A magazine is a little box that holds the bullets ready to shoot. And a clip holds your tie against your shirt.) Take the argument away.

What are some effective software tools that an inside sales team can use to boost productivity? | We just launched our third SaaS product and even in the short time we’ve been in business the buyer process has drastically changed, even for B2B software.
No longer do potential leads and customers want to necessarily hear from you directly. In fact, [LINKED_TEXT: 19% don’t want to hear from you until they are almost ready to make a decision. ] [URL: https://research.hubspot.com/buyers-speak-out-how-sales-needs-to-evolve?_ga=2.258974659.874033809.1521804578-126284384.1517035213]And most of the time, they will reach out to you (granted you make it easy to do that, but that’s a lesson in user experience!).
The key to better sales, effortless and exponentially, is improving your website, content, and communication with leads to match the new buyer process. Buyers want the information to make a decision for themselves. They want to know quickly and simply how your product will solve a problem for them. Your job is to make that clear.
To do this, your sales, design, and marketing teams all need to be on the same page almost constantly.
My biggest suggestion is to eliminate eternal email. It is a productivity, miscommunication, and lost information nightmare.
Instead, try a [LINKED_TEXT: company chat platform like Hibox] [URL: https://www.hibox.co/?ref=quora&utm_source=quora]. Here you can create a chat steam for sales, marketing, and design and they can interact in their team streams as well as inter-connectedly. They can share tasks, important files, and even group video chat all in the same platform.
Your sales team can share customer feedback, collaborate on leads, delegate work, and make sure that no customer has gone unattended.
Teams using Hibox, including our three, have seen a tremendous boost in productivity. Even the smallest sales teams can tackle a global market with the right efficiency.

Has any programmer ever been paid per line of code? | Perhaps in the early history of programming it might have been attempted, but these days people are more mindful of [LINKED_TEXT: Goodhart's law - Wikipedia] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law] which states that “once a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a useful metric.”
In this case, paying actual money is the ultimate example of making your metric a target, and this example is actually a good illustration of why Goodhart's law is true. You'll simply incentivize your developers to write more and more lines of crappy, pointless, and/or dead code, and so the incentive would have the exact opposite effect of what you hoped, which was to get actual working software with business value.
I feel like not just software engineering, but a lot of economics and history can be explained through the lens of Goodhart's law. That is, poorly considered incentive structures producing counterproductive and unruly behavior in normal people.

What are the best baby skin care products? | [LINKED_TEXT: Best Baby Skin Care Productshttps://amzn.to/3LY4FRT] [URL: https://amzn.to/3LY4FRT]The correct baby skin care products must be chosen because a baby's skin is sensitive and needs special care. The finest products for baby skin care are listed below:
1.Pick a mild, fragrance-free baby soap that is kind to the epidermis. Avoid using adult soaps that might contain harsh chemicals and look for goods that are especially made for babies.
2. Baby shampoo: To maintain a clean and healthy scalp in your child, use a gentle baby wash. Sulfates and parabens can be harsh on the skin and may irritate it, so look for a product without them.
3.Baby Lotion: To maintain your baby's skin supple and well-hydrated, use a moisturizing lotion. Find a product that is gentle on the skin and devoid of fragrance.
Never forget to patch test new products on your baby's skin, and if you have any worries, talk to your doctor.

Is the claim that Palestinian ethnicity doesn't exist, and is actually a mix of different Arab nationalities (Jordanian, etc) just a false conspiracy theory? | Thanks for the A2A.
It’s not completely a false conspiracy theory, but it’s very sinister.
There are plenty of Palestinians whose great grandparents were born in the land. So it’s not entirely true that Palestinians are not real.
The reason people make this claim is that they wish to dehumanize Palestinians. Once people are convinced that Palestinians don’t exist, preaching for their genocide is very easy. These people will specifically use the term “Arabs” rather than Palestinians to push their agenda that Palestinians are a made up people in a made up land and if we get rid of them, so what.

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | The impacts of the airliners started a series of events.
The first thing each did was punch a hole in the curtain wall of the building they hit. Unlike older skyscraper designs, the WTC towers were not filled with a boxwork of steel girders. To allow larger open spaces, each floor was built out of trusses spanning from the building core to the curtain wall, which unlike older skyscraper designs, carried a large part of the building’s structural load. When the curtain wall was punched through, it severed the support for the curtain wall structural members above the strike zone. This created a vulnerability.
Inside the building, the aircraft damaged the building core by severing a number of the columns in the building core structure. This weakened the cores of both towers and reduced their ability to carry loads. This created another vulnerability.
This damage did not cause the building to have an immediate structural failure because the engineers who designed it left enough redundancy in the load carrying structure of the building to hold itself together.
The third thing is it started a prolonged fire, fed by the relatively full fuel tanks on the liners (which had only flown from Boston to New York, a fairly short distance) and all the plastics, wood, paper, and in some cases metals in the impact zone. The initial impact had also dislodged much of the fireproofing on the structural steel in the impact zone, making it more vulnerable to heating.
While the fires were not nearly hot enough to melt steel, they were hot enough to severely reduce the strength of steel, to about half the strength it would have at room temperature. To compound matters, the steel members expanded when heated. When the trusses above the fire expanded, they placed additional stresses on the already damaged and weakening structure. With the curtain wall members severed at the fire zone, the curtain wall on the strike side of each tower were less able to withstand the outward force of the trusses just above the strike zone.
After several hours, there was a structural failure in each tower, at different times relating to the load involved. The second tower struck fell first, because it was struck lower and so the load was greater and the structure reached failure point sooner. In both towers, the element that failed transferred it’s load to the adjacent members, causing them to fail, and the whole structure to fail on pretty much a floor-wide basis.
With a whole floor essentially severed, the whole building above that point fell down onto the floor below. That floor could not withstand the shock load of the whole building above landing on it, and failed as well. The process continued all the way down. It also caused the part of the building above the failure to collapse. Each time the upper part of the building landed on the highest uncollapsed floor, the uncollapsed upper part of the building was landing on the lowest uncollapsed floor in it as well, and they failed similarly. By the time the whole mass of rubble reached the ground, the upper portion of the building was as smashed up as the rest.
This left the vast majority of the towers as remarkably small heaps of broken concrete and twisted metal.

Should I get goats or chickens? I want them as companions for humans. | My Nigerian Dwarf goats are charming pets. They like being groomed and follow us around like dogs and like going on walks. They play chase and jump around with the children. They are considered a dairy breed if you want to milk them.
Goats do need the companionship of other goats as well as of people. They need sturdy fencing to stay contained and safe from dogs and other predators (and keeping them tied up is a bad idea for many reasons).
I have chickens as well, and while some like people better than others, the goats are more consistently friendly. And roosters are likely to be downright aggressive to people. Chickens need extensive protection from predators and their own stupidity ( I lose more chickens from them sticking their heads in my dogs’ yard!).
Most chickens will lay eggs, and they are soothing to just watch and observe their interactions. If you have room, try both.

How do you create social media creative content? | First contact me for more information in [LINKED_TEXT: fiver] [URL: https://www.fiverr.com/s/jGXwkv],
So generating content for social media can be a challenging task, but here are some tips that may help you:
1. Understand your audience: Before creating any content, it's important to know who your target audience is and what they want to see. Consider their age, interests, preferences, and behaviors.
2. Keep it simple: Social media users have a short attention span, so it's best to keep your content short, sweet, and to the point. Use simple language and avoid complex jargon.
3. Use visual elements: Visual elements such as images, videos, and infographics can help your content stand out and make it more engaging. Make sure that your visuals are relevant and high-quality.
4. Be consistent: Regularly posting content can help keep your audience engaged and interested. Develop a content schedule and stick to it.
5. Be creative: Social media is a highly competitive space, so it's important to be creative and think outside the box. Experiment with different formats, styles, and topics to find out what resonates with your audience.
6. Engage with your audience: Don't just post content and walk away. Respond to comments, ask questions, and encourage discussion. This will help build a sense of community around your brand.
7. Monitor your performance: Keep track of your social media metrics such as engagement, reach, and conversions. This will help you identify what's working and what's not, so you can adjust your strategy accordingly.
Remember, creating compelling content for social media takes time and effort. Be patient, experiment, and stay true to your brand's voice and values.

Which song that was a major hit for an artist or band also created a backlash for them? | “My Sharona” by The Knack. There was some buzz about statutory rape.
“Suicide Solution” Ozzy Osbourne. (I don’t know if I would call it a major hit but the album “Blizzard of Oz” did well.) Ozzy was sued because some guy committed suicide allegedly after listening to the song.

Why do waitresses ask if Coke is okay instead of Pepsi? Do you think it makes a big difference if you get Coke or Pepsi? | Legal/contractual obligations. Seriously. Or it used to be.
Years ago (like the 80s) when I worked in the restaurant business, Pepsi and Coke were in fierce competition to sign big contracts with restaurant chains to be the exclusive provider of their products. The story goes that a couple of Coca Cola execs were at lunch somewhere in Atlanta and asked for a round of Cokes at their table. What they got was Pepsi… which prompted a call to their legal department because it was considered a violation of their brand trademark.
Every restaurant I worked in at the time had the same policy: if you served Coca Cola products and someone asked for Pepsi products, you offered them the corresponding Coke product (or vice versa depending on what the restaurant served). I guess that rule may still be in place today.

What will be the change in the expected cutoff of the SSC CGL 2019 as compared to the SSc CGL 2018 as there are less vacancies this time? | It is very hard to predict cutoff. Actually, cutoff depends on normalised marks , so I am assuming that this year the range of increament in raw marks due to normalisation slightly decreases and this year paper is easy to handle as compared to the last year. So cutoff ”may” lie between 130–140.

Why do people vape? | While I don’t vape nicotine, I’m a registered medicinal cannabis user and I vape cannabis as it’s a way better alternative than combusting. The biggest difference is taste. Think of it as coffee - lighter roasts you taste the coffee, whereas darker roast or French roast you are tasting the roast and not the bean. Same can be said for cannabis - vaping at lower temps is very flavourful and you can dial in what terpenes will benefit you.

What comes after video game graphics get as realistic as possible? | Video games today still look like video games. Although it wont happen for generations. The ideal game would be indistinguishable from real life. But also fully rendered in real time. So the game is completely playable and not simply a sequence of pre-rendered cutscenes and movie animations.
Of course, very few games today still do pre-rendered cutscenes as its only source of gameplay. Even games with heavy usage of quick time events and pre-rendered scenes use them only for minor gameplay elements and for cinematic story telling. And the actual gameplay still looks comparable to the cinematic cutscenes.
We wont just see real life like environments and models. But a flood of them as well. meaning cities will be crowded with pedestrians and cars. Images will be so detailed, you could pick out mosquitos in high resolution. You would be able to zoom out and see the world from an eagle eyes view.

If life grew out of organic sludge, why haven't we seen another example of that kind of creation? | First of all, the emergence of life from non-life is probably an exceptionally rare event, a once-in-a-billion-years kind of event. Since we haven't been observing carefully for even a few centuries, duh, it'd be extraordinary if we'd observed it even once, and we'd need to see it twice to have the experiment replicated (in science, an experimental result that can't be repeated is generally assumed to be a fluke).
Moreover, at the time that life first emerged on Earth, Earth's atmosphere had almost no oxygen molecules in it. It was a reducing environment, as opposed to the current oxidizing environment. At the point when photosynthesizing microbes first emerged and started dumping oxygen into the atmosphere, there was a mass extinction of almost all other life, since those early life forms couldn't tolerate much oxygen. We wouldn't expect life to emerge from non-life in the wild because our current environment is actively hostile to its formation and survival.
Finally, as others have pointed out, anything of the sort of organic sludge that can potentially form life-as-we-know-it is described as "food" by a variety of extant life, and as such is likely to be eaten before it can become alive.

What are some tips for me if I am new to competitive programming? | If you are beginner and wanted go ahead competitive coding then firstly you should be learning programming language . It could be c++,Java,Python , Javascript as you wish but it should be widely accepted.Then second most wished subject is data structures and algorithms. Data structures are the ways in which we can perform operations on data effectively. There operations are getting particular data, deleting data and updating it. If you want to store similar kind of elements for e.g. you have to store name of students so for that purpose you can use arrays. In array searching and accessing data in easier than any others.But it has drawback that when it’s size is fixed we cannot change it. That means we are able to add any other element if array is full. There is way to do it , but it costs more time. Same happens when you have to delete particular elment from array other than last : you have to shift other elements in order to fill the gap out. So here another data structure comes into the picture, which is linked list . Adding and deleting elements are easier here but searching is not that easy.
So you should have strong knowledge of data structures.
After having all the required stuff you should also have correct platform and guidance to be able to achieve your goal in particular time and without quitting.
Journey in competitive coding can be frustative and exalirating . It is because firstly you are not able to think in that way and not solve the problem.There are more chances that daily you are not able to solve decided no of problems . You should be needing good mentor to keep you motivating and rather to tell you what you are lacking and what you are good at. Here prepbytes could be a good platform as they have 125 days coding program and teachers to help you out. So you can check it out here.

Why did punk rock die? | Punk rock was never “popular”, at least if that means getting radio play and selling records. In its late-70s, early 80s heyday, punk got lots of media attention but the general public much-preferred disco, AOR rock, and later on,(admittedly punk-influenced) New Wave power pop.
I was in high school in the late 70s and while we knew about punk and sometimes saw punk rockers on the news, the general consensus was that punk sucked because the singers couldn’t sing and the musicians didn’t know how to play their instruments, unlike, say, such bands as Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow. Granted, we were provincials way out in the suburbs of Detroit, but still.
By the end of my college freshman year I’d changed my mind and by the mid-80s I was frequently attending hardcore shows in downtown Detroit. But those shows were pretty underground as well, held in small venues and bars. No mid-80s hardcore band was going to replace the era’s true popular performers, the Madonnas and Princes, on the stage of Cobo Hall.
But while in its original form punk was never truly popular, it’s parts certainly have been. Punk ideas revolutionized fashion and graphic design and completely altered the course of popular music for the next 20 years, or until Hip Hop ended rock and roll’s status as the culture’s default musical genre. Bands like Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, and Guns n Roses weren’t “punk” in the classic sense but they wouldn’t have existed if punk never happened.

What are the differences between a wireless and a wired connection? | Wireless and wired networks are two different types of network configurations that allow devices to communicate and share resources like data, files, and internet connections. Here are the main differences between wireless and wired networks:
1. Connectivity:
Wireless Network: In a wireless network, devices communicate using radio waves. They connect to the network through wireless access points, routers, or other wireless devices. Wi-Fi is a common technology used for wireless networking.Wired Network: In a wired network, devices are physically connected using cables, such as Ethernet cables. Data is transmitted through these cables using electrical signals.
2. Physical Infrastructure:
Wireless Network: Wireless networks require fewer physical components since there are no cables involved. However, they do require wireless access points or routers to transmit and receive signals.Wired Network: Wired networks involve the installation of Ethernet cables, connectors, switches, and routers. These cables connect devices to the network infrastructure.
3. Mobility:
Wireless Network: Wireless networks provide mobility since devices can connect to the network from various locations within the network's coverage area. Users can move freely within this range without losing connectivity.Wired Network: Devices in a wired network are physically connected to cables, limiting mobility. Users can only move as far as the cable length allows.
4. Speed and Reliability:
Wireless Network: Wireless networks are subject to interference from other electronic devices, physical obstacles, and signal degradation over distance. This can lead to variations in signal strength and potentially slower speeds compared to wired connections.Wired Network: Wired connections are generally more reliable and consistent in terms of speed and performance since they are less susceptible to interference and signal loss.
5. Security:
Wireless Network: Wireless networks are more susceptible to unauthorized access if not properly secured. Encryption and strong security protocols are necessary to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to the network.Wired Network: Wired networks are considered more secure due to the physical nature of the connection. Unauthorized access typically requires physical access to the network infrastructure.
6. Installation and Maintenance:
Wireless Network: Wireless networks are easier to set up and require less physical installation. They are suitable for situations where running cables is impractical.Wired Network: Setting up wired networks involves the installation of cables and connectors, which can be more complex and time-consuming. However, once installed, wired networks generally require less maintenance.
In summary, wireless networks provide mobility and convenience but can be subject to signal interference and security risks. Wired networks offer higher reliability, faster speeds, and enhanced security but require more physical infrastructure and limit mobility. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs, priorities, and constraints of the network environment and its users.
