Should Community Moderators be "elected for life", or have terms? While I applaud the excellent work of , the question has come up:     How long will be the elected moderator’s “mandate”? Is it for life, or are we going to have “moderator elections” regularly?   Of course, any community moderator who wishes to recuse him or herself can certainly do that at any time.   Should we have term limits that require community moderators be cycled out periodically, so others get a chance to moderate? Should we hold regular (say, yearly) moderator elections? Is it better to have a larger pool of community moderators, and let the normal ebb and flow of turnover get us "natural" variability in moderation?   What are your thoughts on this?

I have two measurements: n1 events in time t1 and n2 events in time t2, both produced (say) by Poisson processes with possibly-different lambda values.  This is actually from a news article, which essentially claims that since $n_1/t_1\neq n_2/t_2$ that the two are different, but I'm not sure that the claim is valid.  Suppose that the time periods were not chosen maliciously (to maximize the events in one or the other).  Can I just do a t-test, or would that not be appropriate?  The number of events is too small for me to comfortably call the distributions approximately normal. Is there any way to get the number of pending chat request on omni channel? I have a requirement to get the number of pending chat request in the omni channel.  I have set the presence configuration capacity to 5 so that an agent can have only 5 chat requests. if a case is solved agent will get one of the pending chat request. But right now i can't see the number of pending request.     Lets say i have 10 pending request in the queue, but i don't have any numbers to see how many are pending in the queue.   Is there any way that can show the pending chat requests in the queue? Remap a key combination to another combination, e. g.

I need to define a new command to create a squiggle arrow with some text on it. Something similar to what \xrightarrow command produces but with wiggly arrows as in \rightsquigarrow. The length of the arrow should automatically be adjusted to fit the text above it and I do not know how to handle this part in TikZ. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I'm a US passport holder.

What is the difference between private and protected members in C++ classes? I understand from best practice conventions that variables and functions which are not called outside the class should be made private—but looking at my MFC project, MFC seems to favor protected. What's the difference and which should I use? I've been trying to photograph lightning lately, as we have had some great storms in Colorado. I've had some difficulty getting a good vantage point, however, as almost all of these storms include rain as well. To keep my camera from getting drenched (I have weather-sealed lenses, but my camera body, a Canon 450D, is not weather sealed as far as I can tell), I've had to shoot under the eve of a building or under a thick canopy of trees, however that has greatly limited my ability to adapt to the changing weather and get get a vantage point on the best lightning.  Is there any equipment, something I can purchase or something home-made that has easy-to-find parts, that can help me protect my lens from the rain while still being able to shoot? Additionally, I've been getting rain on a UV filter I have on the front of my lenses, simply to prevent rain from getting on the front lens element itself. However, once a storm really gets going, so does the rain. Is there a simple solution to keep rain off the front of the lens? Search in favorited questions?

I'm trying to install VMware Tools in Ubuntu 16.04. Should I do this by using sudo? Why? How does the linux kernel know device major and minor numbers? As far as I know, the kernel detects hardware, adds information to sysfs creates a device in /dev and then generates a udev event. My question is, do device drivers do all of this or it is the kernel itself? If drivers do it, then they would know the device major and minor number to create the file in devtmps.   I also understand (maybe wrongly) that it is udev who calls modprobe to load the drivers that handle a device.   I was told that they do so with the contents of the MODALIAS uevent environment variable, thus loading all modules whose aliases match this string (the correct driver). In short: what are the steps of hardware detection in linux and WHO performs each step: the kernel itself, the driver inside the kernel or udev in userspace. Thanks. Quantum teleportation and no-communication theorem According to the Wikipedia article for the :     In very rough terms, the theorem describes a situation that is analogous to two people, each with a radio receiver, listening to a common radio station: it is impossible for one of the listeners to use their radio receiver to send messages to the other listener. This analogy is imprecise, because quantum entanglement suggests that perhaps a message could have been conveyed; the theorem replies 'no, this is not possible'.   According to the Jet Propulsion's recent article on quantum teleportation:   they can effect an entangled photon (B) with another photon (A) to change the state of the other entangled photon.  Doesn't this contradict what the no-communication theorem states ? How does a sarlacc gain any energy if it keeps victims alive for a thousand years? When eaten by a sarlacc, according to C-3PO,     In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.   I imagine that keeping a victim alive for a thousand years takes much more energy than is available to the sarlacc from the body of the victim.  Thus, keeping victims alive for so long would seem to be a net loss of energy for the sarlacc.  Is there a canon answer to resolve this conundrum?  Did the sarlacc have another energy source (for example, ability to harvest sunlight)?
