How is that a see-saw? Seems same-sex marriage has been across the board seen more acceptance and I havent seen this backtrack much.

The first link is literally about a small minority passing a **proposed** bill through a rather minor part of the govt process. There is no indication it has majority support or any hope to pass.
The second link is 4 years old, and since then same-sex marriage has gotten partial recognition (same-sex marriages conducted outside the country are recognized and honored), so it has literally moved towards accepting same-sex marriage in both cases not against.
I highly advise against using the news to inform you, fact check this stuff.

@freemo First off, a caveat. my role is VERY strange. My title is Enterprise Architect, and I have seen my fair share of code, but I have *never* had a purely programming position, so I might not understand how hiring works.
In any case, my thought...
this seems very fair, but wonder if u might just send everyone the bounty route. If they don't have at least passing familiarity with the codebase, how likely are they to get the job? The toy project seems like it might give a false sense of hope
Originally this was my thought as well. The reason i like offering a toy project route is because I dont want a under-paid force labour exploitation happening. Basically where I get people to do real world problems for very low pay (bounties are meant to be bonuses not fair pay). WE could (not that we would) literally just have interviewees fix our problems at slave-wages if we forced them to do real work for bounties.
I feel like offering the option is nice, but can have the opposite of the intended effect when its required.
@RickiTarr By "fucking around like this" do we mean the fact that we (the left) are toxic to even our own people and even the slightest hint of nuance is enough to attack them, ultimately pushing more and more support over to the conservative side?
If so, then I agree, we cant afford to fuck around like this.
Me and the other directors at my new company have been toying with a new idea, paying people for the work they do on interviews (well sorta).
Basically the idea we are toying with is when we give a programming test as part of the interview we basically offer them the choice of either doing a toy project that has no value to us as a company, or giving them the option to fix any outstanding tickets on one of our open-source projects with a bounty attached to it. This way if your programming test gets accepted you stand a good chance of getting the job AND get paid the bounty.
Programming tests never sat right with me because it seems like a huge time investment to ask of someone who might not get a job. So I wanted to make the process more fair and beneficial to applicants.
Would love to hear what #fedihire thinks about this.

You are being lied to.
Don't even take my word for it, I challenge the moderator to find even a single example of a problematic post anywhere on our server, and he couldnt.
He already admitted in another thread we were blocked because he adopted an incredibly abusive block list because he was too lazy to moderate himself. Bunch of threads cropped up of past Universeodon users who were upset and reports of this moderators abuse has been surfacing.

In fact multiple people have even stood up since then pointing out how we **Strictly** moderate hate speech, and our timeline clearly shows that.
He has ignored all of it and even when having all the proof in the world he just keeps saying "well no one complained when we blocked you" even though tons of people have.
Your moderator is lying to you. Just go look at our timeline, dont need to take my word.
Honestly its not Bidens age that is the issue, it is his senility. Just as its nots Trumps age that is the issue, it is his stupidity.
Neither are fit to serve as president sadly.
Its hard for me to think you have a house that has sit there rotting away for 100 years with no modern work to clean it up and it could be worth that much.
I suspect either you've done work on it in the last 100 years, or it would be afraction the value. I mean how did your house sit there for 100 years and even remain in livable condition. Windows break, wood rots, and ultimately when you replace it its with modern tech usually.
The first link is literally about a small minority passing a **proposed** bill through a rather minor part of the govt process. There is no indication it has majority support or any hope to pass.
The second link is 4 years old, and since then same-sex marriage has gotten partial recognition (same-sex marriages conducted outside the country are recognized and honored), so it has literally moved towards accepting same-sex marriage in both cases not against.

Thats very surprising. Wouldnt have expected asbestos in a home to be legal these days... admitidly I dont know the specific laws.
But regardless if you are ok with a home that is literally just sitting there unchanged for 100 years, then go fo rit. You can certainly get it a lot cheaper than a modernized home thats for sure (And thus the point).
@LouisIngenthron Not at all. Nebulas do look different in X-ray and other spectrums, and **some** nebula are uninteresting in visible light. But all the famous nebulas more or less are quite beautiful to the naked eye.
See this post from my blog for a picture of the great nebula in orion using visible light only (also attached)
Even the houses we have that were built a long time ago, most have been mostly or completely renovated in more recent history. My house is 100 ish years old but was renovated 10 years ago completely.
In fact any house that is sufficiently old that is in the exact state it was in 100 years agowould not be legal to live in in many cases with stuff like asbestos and dangerous wiring, etc.
Depends on the supernova. You can just barely see some nebula. The great nebula in orion for example looks like a hazy patch to the naked eye you can just barely make out. Simple binoculars will give you a decent view of the core.
A supernova's brightness varies greatly. The one 400 years ago was so bright it could be seen in the day time at its peak.
How is that a see-saw? Seems same-sex marriage has been across the board seen more acceptance and I havent seen this backtrack much.
@Amikke Yea and that would also probably be one of the cooler ones to go!
@Gbudd The problem with that reasoning is that a house 20 or 40 years ago is not comparable to a house today. To put it into perspective just a modern day next thermostat 40 years ago would have cost you more than the entire cost of a modern home.
If you were willing to accept a 100 year old or 40 year old home in terms of safety standards, lack of tech, lead paint, and all of the other aspects you can get a dirt cheap home.
The truth of the matter is simply that you cant compare an education or a home from the past to one in modern day, they are not the equivalent
