It's due to her specific comments as Speaker of the House when leading a vote to dismantle prohibitions established during the Obama admin.

> when asked whether lawmakers and their spouses should be prohibited from trading stock while in Congress, Pelosi said, “No,” adding that “this is a free market.”

It's also because her family profits disproportionately:

I'm looking forward to diverse cross compilation as well as maybe some of the exotic targets gcc supports! I'm curious if there are plans to run Crater with gcc to check for rustc parity and maybe UB quirks?
This script took less than a second to run:

seq 10000 99999 | factor | grep '^\([^:]*\): \1$' | cut -d: -f1 >5_digit_primes.txt

Using that file with grep was helpful for refining guesses.

Wet bulb 35°C, which feels like 160°F dry bulb for those of us who are in the USA with varying amounts of water in the air.

> The wet-bulb temperature is defined as the temperature of a parcel of air cooled to saturation (100% relative humidity) by the evaporation of water into it ... The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is 35 °C (95 °F) – theoretically equivalent to a heat index of 70 °C (160 °F)

I think CRDTs would make much more sense in a projectional editor than a text one. When the changes are mutations to the abstract syntax tree its more well defined how a merge would end. Also, the merge results don't have the opportunity to be invalid syntax.

The next trick would be to create a matrix that is the closest to all of the languages and doesn't have gaps from missing words. Using English as the identity is probably a bit ethnocentric -- another reification of the three-percent problem of literary translation: http://www.rochester.edu/College/translation/threepercent/ .

Maybe we can call this new matrix Mondoshawan?
