Polymarket probably thinks that the Biden administration is angry with them for showing how the population truly feels as all other sources are obviously corrupt /s
Anki + a frequency dictionary + 34 new words/day (with 80% retention due to spaced repetition) is easily doable by our brains to get to semi fluency (~10k words) in a year. Or, take a month to cram the first 2000 words and you're well on your way versus other wastes of time.
Cultural differences in conflict, negotiation, and corporate drive can make this more or less stressful for the managers and as a result for the employees. As such, you can predict more stress in the US and less in Europe+Canada. The Irish office for example is a bit more laid back but also can be more passive aggressive.
Per decision making around immoral things, all those decisions happened in the US when I worked there.
You are correct in that the IRS chose this number.
Also the dude actually does look like a pirate
You can implement some or all of the tips in this HN post, it'll make fzf results better.

"Hello.
We are different company. It is our prototype model. You can see our key layout on our Kickstarter Page. www.elretron.net
Regards, Elretron"
My Response: "I noticed that you posted a review to the qwerkywriter on geekhack in January (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=86879.0). Are you using qwerkywriters with a different case in your prototype videos and photos?"
No response yet. I expect that they have no product, and will manufacture a cheaper qwertywriter clone should their kickstarter go through (or just take your money, who knows!)
On the plus side, I like the squared-off keycaps, and the price is right for a knockoff version.
Interesting that the domain name is elretron.com...someone with username "elretron" posted a youtube video to a review of the qwerkywriter on Jan 10, 2017 ( https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=86879.0 , http://i.imgur.com/hecpAgx.png)
Is the qwerkywriter creator behind this second upcoming kickstarter campaign, or is "elretron" just ripping off the entire thing and selling for cheaper with a cheaper case? Or is the original creator just hoping for another round of kickstarter funding and making no mention of qwerkywriter on their website (which has prominent spelling errors, as if it had been thrown together quickly)?
Either way, pretty shady
