Yeah I agree it would be nice to not be limited to Slack. I plan on offering it to Microsoft Teams, Discord and other popular chat services.
I have never seen ZenHub before. Thanks for sharing. I just checked it out and it looks like it's a browser extension. I've thought about doing something related to a browser extension but thought that would be more development for me and I'm not sure how cool companies are with an extension that could read your Github. I'll dig deeper on it.
Yeah I was going to offer email as an option as well.
My point is, if it's an integration for GitHub andy workflow, put the integration there, rather than all the other tools I may or may not use for communication, other than email.
IBM used ZenHub and GitHub, but not Alpine Linux containers, b/c they are security minded
1. I've heard the death-by-slack-notification complaint many times hehe. My way to combat this was to offer scheduled digests that could be daily/weekly or whatever frequency. It doesn't have to be slack it could be sent to email.
2. :-)
3. That's true. I think a lot depends on having the right amount of notifications...nothing more, nothing less. Unfortunately the native github/slack integration does very generic things that it's not that useful. That is why I am trying to be more specific.
My question is: How can we make a better environment for discovering cures/vaccines? Can we create a almost like a "YC" for research of biological sciences.
Although, I don't know much about this area, I feel there needs to be a better way to allow the most intelligent people have the resources they need to discover cures/vaccines etc, with no external barriers. Thank you.
The modern biotech sector as a whole (excluding pure pharmaceutical therapeutics) is a pretty small compared with the tech sector. It's really challenging to build a company in a new ecosystem like that. Getting resources into the system in order to get the flywheel running is tough. Good ideas on jumpstarting what will inevitably a valuable technology would be great to hear. But like all research, it's an investment - obvious returns might not come in the short-term.
Hey Tevlon. I feel a bit the same. I just graduated (2.5 late). I have $27K USD in student debt. Spent a year working on my startup idea and it barely is generating revenue.
We've all been there. If you feel not a part of society, go out to some meetups of stuff you are interested in. There have to be some groups that meet weekly/monthly. Hang out and meet new people.
You are not a quitter. You are about to finish your masters! That's big achievement.
I say:
1) Find out something that will make you happy (job, traveling,etc)
2) Go out there and start working towards getting that.
It has nothing to do with popular vote. It has to do with qualifications. EC is intended to keep out unqualified candidates -> As Alexander Hamilton writes in “The Federalist Papers,” the Constitution is designed to ensure “that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”
And if that were to happen (Clinton victory w/ Trump popular vote win), trump would say the election was rigged and fuel fires to an uprising.
This assumes Clinton would meet the standard while Trump would fail it. Between Whitewatergate, her husband's impeachment hearings, Benghazi, enabling her husband's womanizing, the improprieties with the Clinton Foundation, and more, such a standard may make her ineligible as well. I think being a bad person isn't what the founders had in mind.
I also think they would have been appalled at the idea of someone who's political achievements cannot be disentangled from who they married. After all, the founding fathers weren't exactly fans of royalty.
If we want to apply intent, then the question is who would our next president be, Cruz or Sanders?
As Alexander Hamilton writes in “The Federalist Papers,” the Constitution is designed to ensure “that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.”
Exactly. Hamilton (and most founding fathers) distrusted direct democracy. A more reasonable petition would be to go the other way -- get states to elect real Electors instead of making the presidential race pseudo-populist.
Not sure I follow what you are arguing for. But what I am trying to say is that the EC is designed to protect us from people EXACTLY like trump. That is its purpose. It has nothing to do with Hillary getting the popular vote, although that does add to the argument.
If you had asked Hamilton his opinion on a woman or someone of African descent, what do you think he would have said? Even ignoring that, I suspect the founding fathers would have been aghast at the system of professional politicians. They would have similarly been aghast at Trump's personality and behavior, but I suspect his business experience would have been considered a positive.
You do realize a Trump supporter could have made exactly the same argument had the situation been reversed? That the Electoral College was designed to protect us from dishonest, cronyist politicians? Who decides that the EC should be protecting YOUR candidate?
My argument is that I would like to see Electorates become real Electorates and that blaming them for Hillary's loss is just sour grapes.
