Collecting and publishing private information (such as address) without a consent is a crime in most EU countries.

To extreme this could ban Github in most of Europe.

It is also probably against Github license agreement.

Hm, that bot makes loaded statements and attacks some groups. It also directly mentions several persons by name. Yet another sexist and racist troll on twitter.

Could you be more specific? I think path similar to Redis would work just fine.

Any chance to start a new company? I think original company failed because it had too much overhead (SF office, marketing, investors...)

There is a good brand, existing user base, big customers with references...

Lean distributed company could make a good profit here with minimal investment.

In my experience distributed company is best if you want diverse team from start. I worked at company where 70% of engineers were women.

Earth-Centric model was actually scientifically better at that time. With Occam's razor you would prefer it.

- Even church agreed that Earth is not static, but is rotating.

- Nobody observed star parallax, major proof for Copernican model was missing until 19th century.

- Ptolemaic model with its epicycles provided better predictions.

- Copernican model is also wrong, planets are orbiting around center of gravity, which is outside of sun..

In my experience most writers are paid by word, and write very fast. Most content writers at Upwork seems to have very little procrastination..

In other terms, image as coder you are paid by number of lines you produce. And there is no compiler, no unit tests...

Nobody wants to be drafted, it is a waste of time. Women also voted against Equal Rights Amendment in 1970ties.

I understand it is human rights issue.

My point is that many women voted for those rules. This problem could be solved in a single election.

It would be nice to automate dictionary training. Make it part of vacuum.
