Q: Is Socratic badge broken?

Suvitruf says Reinstate MonicaI had 87/100 progress on Socratic badge several days ago. After that I had at least 3 days with new question with positive score. But the progress is still 87/100. Is it broken?

support badges badge-progress socratic
Why did you close that? ^^^
I wouldn't ask it if didn't think that it is a bug. I know about all this criteria.

The tag says: "Ask a well-received question on 100 separate days, and maintain a positive question record - 87/100 days asked" and "Positive question ...". but the fact is that you have a couple of negative questions --- So it being *stuck* isn't the bug, it's incorrectly saying that your record is positive when instead it should say: "
need positive question record". See:

If you click on the badge in the tracker on @Suvitruf's profile, it says that there is a positive question record.

@JourneymanGeek It says so on their pricing page, for the standard plan

Work easily with people from outside your team or company by inviting them to one or more Slack channels.

Google Hangouts
Google Hangouts is a communication software product developed by Google. Originally a feature of Google+, Hangouts became a stand-alone product in 2013, when Google also began integrating features from Google+ Messenger and Google Talk into Hangouts. In 2017, Google began developing Hangouts into a product aimed at enterprise communication. Hangouts is now part of the G Suite line of products and consists of two primary products: Google Hangouts Meet and Google Hangouts Chat. Google has also begun integrating features of Google Voice, its IP telephony product, into Hangouts, stating that Hangouts...

@JourneymanGeek A lot of collegaues have bad experience using that, as microphones usually are terrible.
Mostly at least one has a microphone that doesn't connect propperly, and they can then just listen only

@Luuklag Skype supports 24, Google Duo 8, and GotoMeeting 25 webcams. Microphone quality would be equal to your phone, tablet or desktop / laptop (if it has a Mic).

@M.A.R. no
@M.A.R. it's pretty early in the plot
@M.A.R. no he didn't, he's still PM of the government that was elected few years ago.
Until a new government is assembled, the previous one is in charge.
As for Cersei, I don't think it's a mistake to describe her so much and add details. She's evil, but so are most characters, in a way. She's also a special kind of evil, different from the lame brutality of her eldest son, or the Mountain. Those are boring, I agree.
She is not enjoying killing, she's doing it just because it helps her.
(or as revenge, but still - the act of killing isn't making her happy, unlike the other characters I mentioned above)
All in all, she's one of the more complex characters, and it's a good thing.
And time to go, kids start to fight...

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Not Book four, five, maybe?
@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Well, she's not that complex, but I guess
What's really chafing me, I think, is that the smartasses of the show have been saying for two books now how everything she does is stupid in this way or that, but she's never faced the music. Till now, at least.
The only vague indication is people don't like the Lannisters, and for all I know it could be because of Tywin's 20-year-old sacking.
It's starting to become GoT mentality, if you know what I mean. People I like at least a small bit do almost nothing wrong and get killed or scarred for it, and she's supposedly "stumbling from this idiocy to the next", Littlefinger's words, and nothing happens to her
I guess I'm just complaining. Or maybe it's just before the part where Book four is starting to do things, but I can't help but notice nothing of much importance has happened in Book four and it doesn't hold half the meat of Book three
I think I can't pinpoint what exactly it is that makes me uneasy, not yet
Book three was amazing, and we had enough of her there too, just not as a POV character

Q: Regarding coronavirus questions

orthocresolIn recent days there have been an increase in questions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These range from questions about homemade hand sanitiser formulations to increasingly outlandish theories for disinfection. Although some of the responses given have been sensible, I cannot help but feel th...

And the fact that she doesn't enjoy doing brutal things to the characters, well, that's half of the powerful female characters. They order this and that guy's death like cake, for stupid reasons often, but they can't stand to be there to watch it happen. That's a good plus for GoT, it's showing us not being there to kill the man kills your soul, as Ned knew.

How event-driven architecture solves modern web app problems
Ryan Donovan on March 16, 2020
In this article, we’ll discuss some of the problems driving innovation in modern web development. Then we’ll dive into the basics of event-driven architecture (EDA), which tries to address these problems by thinking about back-end architecture in a novel way.

@JNat Sorry for the confusion. I've only ever seen the word "onebox" referred to in the context of chat, and the same functionality for posts referred to as "embedding".
The tag wiki excerpt says it's a chat feature (only).

> A naive investigation into human nature would neglect the immutable characteristic of logic; that given axioms, logic either maintains their truth value or what was used was not logical, that is, either the axioms themselves or the process of a logical construct leading to a contradiction is flawed and needs revision. To identify which current privileges have inappropriate reputation thresholds should include, as a first step, thought experiments, i.e., logical scrutiny, precisely because this is the most definitive and cost effective starting point.
I should perhaps be more elaborate or general in my meta post, but this fits nicely in the "stop trying to confuse readers with mumbo jumbo"

i downvoted it because it required reading extremely carefully to figure out what the person might be saying, only to realize at the end that they're just creating a strawman and asking us to provide further systems that fit the contrived example

@user400654 I downvoted upon reading the title, I was ready to retract it after reading the post, I didn't find any.

imo people should be introduced to downvoting at the same time as upvoting, explain the whole system together

that'd be really incomfortable for me. seating would be reclined, and when i'm on my back like that, i have breathing issues
M.A.R.
M.A.R.
@user400654 I guess the numbers don't mean anything, but 1) you need to introduce voting early, so the user would feel like part of the site early on, but 2) there's a trade-off and you gotta adjust the barriers to prevent abuse
So downvoting should be later. I do agree though, that by the time downvoting arrives, privileges lose their first glamour
@user400654 Oh :/
Except the roof and user400654 then
We need a morally conflicted protagonist to weigh the collateral damage
