I'm not sure the pain-in-the-back argument is necessarily true. Even for many upright refrigerators, you must still bend over or crouch to get things from lower shelves and drawers. I've never felt inconvenienced removing things from my chest freezer. Also, my chest freezer has some sliding racks that make it great for organizing its contents. It seems possible that the pain-in-the-back argument is great for marketing, because it sounds like there could be some truth to it. I would argue that a person that has back trouble would likely only be able to use the chest level shelves in fridges, but they could just as easily use the top level racks in a chest freezer.

My guess for why traditional upright fridges could be seen as more convenient is because they take up less floor space for the amount of volume they provide. Also, upright fridges would be easier for small/short children to access. If floor space is less of a concern, and there is no need for small children to access the fridge, a chest-freezer-style fridge sounds like a brilliant idea. Next time I need a new fridge, I will seriously consider this as an option. Perhaps by then some contrarian manufacturers will realize how much sense this makes and I won't even need to convert a freezer myself.

> No secure way to verify code or store keys without routing through mobile.

Weeeeeeell, not quite. Every device and browser the user uses can get it's own private key, and then you use Facebook's central servers and SSL to exchange keys.

If I don't trust Facebook for key exchange, then I can't trust them with their app. Any encryption they implement, they can trivially circumvent by putting a backdoor in their app.

But if I trust their (closed source, frequently updated) app at all, then I can trust them to relay people my public keys. Especially since MITM can be discovered by comparing hashes over a hard to manipulate channel (telefone, video, or IRL).

And if you're really paranoid, you could think about using an open-source app and letting a trusted third party handle the keys.
As a Vancouverite, I'm extremely bothered by it. The taxi situation in Vancouver is beyond pathetic -- it's difficult to get one even in off-peak times and the service is terrible. I've used Uber in other cities and it's fantastic; I've signed every petition there is to try and bring it here.

Transit in Vancouver is pretty good but it won't help you late at night. I've fully given up ever trying to get home after a Christmas party (I get a hotel room now and transit in the morning).

It's a lot like a dish washer. By the time you scrape and pre-wash and load all your dishes, you could have just washed them and put them on a drying rack. The real value of a dish washer is it serves as that drying rack. Most kitchens don't have a lot of dedicated space to dry dishes.

Vancouver has called Uber exactly what it is: a limousine service. There is no ifs, ands, or buts. The fact that they are able to masquerade in other regions as they please because of the perceived benefit to consumers does not negate the fact of what they really are.

This co-opting of the 'sharing economy' to mean unregulated subcontractors is ridiculous. It removes the risk from Uber as a company and places it on the clients and the drivers. Vancouver (and BC) has determined this a risk to great.

If Uber wants to operate in this jurisdiction, they must play by the rules of that jurisdiction. If they refuse, then so be it. They certainly aren't losing money because of it, just losing OUT on it.

The SEI is located like a half-mile from the main part of the campus of the school (it's basically on the campus of University of Pittsburgh). Some of the professors in the CS department might work under SEI grants, but yeah, the SEI is basically an independent research organization that is heavily government-funded (like almost every research institution). They do a lot of non-evil things too, especially related to the challenges of building and maintaining extremely large applications (and the organizations that build and maintain them).

Fun fact; their building was used as a police station in The Dark Knight Returns.

That's a very convenient excuse: "I thought I was right". Doesn't make a scam any less so.

My bigger grudge with Theranos' founder and the likes is their hoax seriously hurts the startup industry culture. Some people get really confused, some start following in these footsteps, some even lose direction with so much mis-information flying around. The chest thumping hotshots suck up too much energy and resources from the ecosystem.
Consumer kitchen refrigerators have a higher BOM cost. They have two separate regulated champers, auto-defrost for the freezer compartment (chest freezers typically don't), shelving, ice makers, external ice/water dispensers, ice crushers, and cosmetic features.

And the cosmetic features for a kitchen, rather than the work-a-day ugliness of chest freezers probably means a larger profit margin too.
> he probably already would have

That is a huge guess. After 10 officers are shot I doubt the SWAT team was in a guessing mood.

> he wasn't going to get the opportunity to leave.

This is perhaps the most commonly fallacy I have read in this thread. Immobility does not immediately equivocate to either a reduction or increase in potential threat. The guys on the ground have to make that determination based upon the evidence available in the moment. After 10 officers were shot I am sure the suspect vocalizing additional threats likely didn't help the SWAT team believe the risk was diminishing.

The ability to customize the IPython launch sequence and configure things is something I make heavy use of. For example, here is my IPython launch script [0].

I started out adding to the launch script so that I would have data and helper functions ever-present in my terminal when I was working to rapidly answer Stack Overflow questions, especially for often repeated tropes like group-by in pandas or some broadcasting issues in numpy.

But then I started accumulating other things, like the boilerplate for reflecting some local toy databases using SQLAlchemy, and some toy stuff with metaclasses and decorators, and kept going from there.

You should read the docs on IPython configuration -- you can even create different profiles and then launch IPython with a specific profile if you want to get different defaults in your launch environment for different use cases [1].

"Are trees alive?" is the question to ask yourself. They can seem very un-alive to us humans. But when the wind blows and their leaves move you can see it. They are literally WAVING at you. Think back to when you were 8 on the playground and a friendly kid waved at you. Trees just wanna play. But wait you say, that's just the wind. The tree isn't deciding to move like the 8 year old kid decided to wave his/her arms. OR DID the tree purposely make its leaves in a shape to catch the wind and that movement is 100% intentional. When you see it that way you can stare at trees for hours. Also, every single one of those trees is naked. When you are bored/depressed/lonely just stare at trees and giggle.
I am contemplating a move from Github to Gitlab right now. Feature-wise there seems to be enough parity with Github to make this sort of thing possible.

Also, gitlab's CI system is attractive and being able to run our own runners in our own environment (we currently used an outsourced CI system.)

We're also doing it because Github enterprise is too expensive, and we want to rely on less external dependencies in our environment.

Gitlab's servers have been slow in my experience. Sometimes taking 10-15 seconds to push up a new commit. I got tired of waiting and moved everything back to bitbucket.

Both gitlab and bitbuckets source code browsing is slow and a little clunky. GitHub's source code browsing is definitely the best.

A few weeks back I surveyed my 3,500 members at PyDataLondon (London-based Python data scientists) about their Python version usage. At work 60% use Python 2.7, 33% use Python 3.4+. At home 44% use Python 2.7, 49% use Python 3.4+. I'm predicting 50% at-work usage of Python 3.4+ this time next year for my London community:
http://ianozsvald.com/2016/06/20/results-for-which-version-o...

Note - I'm the co-chair for PyDataLondon (and the local conference series). I regularly poll my monthly meetup audience to see how many folk upgrade each month. Normally 1-10 per month stick their hand up, nobody sticks their hand up if I ask "how many downgraded from Python 3 this month?".
This looks really nice service! Couple of questions that I couldn't find answer from the website: 1) who is behind this(e.g. will it be around in few years if I implement some of their APIs now)? And 2) what's the license for using APIs and data? (e.g. is it free for what ever, or do you need commercial license for certain uses)?
Different departments have different standards. The LAPD has hired some pretty famously dangerous assholes in it's day, so they have become pretty picky.

A dude from my high school, whose father was a SWAT lieutenant, tried to join but was denied. They had interviewed a bunch of his friends, and during the interview he was asked "why do you yell at your girlfriend so much?"

A smaller department, lets say Bakersfield PD, might not be so picky.
I'm probably your target demo (I'm currently actively trying to expand my network) but I didn't find the offer very compelling. Also I hate email courses, so I may be biased.

1. "Doubling" my network (assuming we are talking social media / mailing lists) would see me going from like 10 to 20 people, so meh. I'm looking for 10x+, not 2x. But maybe that's just me.

2. I guess I disagree with the premise. "you rarely build long-term relationships with people after meeting them at events and conferences." Ok, fine, I'll agree with that, HOWEVER, the alternative that you seem to be providing is that by taking your course I'll be able to "discover" somebody's email, warm them up on social media, and then cold email them successfully. I'm supposed to be convinced that this is somehow BETTER for building long-term relationships than networking with people I've actually met and interacted with? That seems like a complete stretch.

3. You should make it more clear that this is for influencer outreach. Re-reading the copy again I see this now, but I didn't get that impression the first time I read it. You also don't directly explain how influencer outreach correlates to doubling my network.

4. You seem to spend a lot of time on the mechanics of finding emails, but less time on the actual value prop that you are providing in your cold email. This seems skewed in the wrong direction. The bulk of the course should be about writing the email and the research that goes into it, and you should have 1 or 2 days on the mechanics of finding an influencer's contact information.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I hope I've provided some constructive feedback.

I do write some code using FFI, but I have a cffi layer in there for PyPy. I do not interact with the CPython API.

Currently I don't have an interest in taking time to try and make PyPy less slow for my use case, for many reasons that I'm not going to get into here. (But I will note I'm primarily writing code that focuses on being easy to distribute. Most users aren't going to have PyPy installed anyway.)

Anyway, the main thrust of my post is just that Python isn't a monoculture in which PyPy is always a better solution.
