It's like that story about robbing the bank. First, we get jobs at the bank. Then we go in and work the jobs every day... (spoiler: we never actually rob the bank, because we get cushy jobs with benefits, and retirement plans. That's brilliant!)

Anyone with a good credit score can decide to burn their credit at any time. Loss prevention can also step in and cancel your cards at any time if they decide that you've gone off the deep end. They probably won't... but they could.

Sure, but the same was said in 1980 and before. Still, climate change continues and we are collecting more data.

So, there will be a transition point. In the end there are two forces, one is the random nature of weather which adds variability with any change. Another is the increase in storm strength from increasing temperature.

So, we are already at the point where strong storms are statistically more likely. However, at what point can rule out randomly getting lucky such that existing storms have not gotten worse due to random luck?

That question of what is considered enough has become a political question, so you can't expect the transition point to be chosen on a purely empirical basis.

Yeah, it's an interview with the editor of a magazine that's targeted at the higher-ups in the meat industry. They talk about the state of the meat industry, risks, developments etc.

The only statement in regards to non-meat-eaters is that the "anti-meat-folks" are better at marketing than the meat industry, because the meat industry never really had to do advertising.

No, they are talking about both. What they didn't mention was the sand being illegally exported is nothing compared to what is being used locally and you somehow assumed that it is exclusively being offshored.

python 2 made a rational, well-considered choice, though I do like the python 3 replacement better. Despite its self-consistency, python 2 ended up causing hard-to-find errors (mostly when people accidentally compared "0" with 0 though; it mostly wasn't a problem with None).

In python 2, cross-type comparisons are strictly ordered. So:

>>> None == 0
False
>>> None < 0
True
>>> None <= 0
True
>>> None > 0
False

Completely consistent, no special cases, and if you sort() a list containing multiple types, it'll always come out in an unsurprising, consistent order.

The way the author uses "RFC" is that it's essentially a possibly very rough draft design document for some technical implementation. The "Comments" part is what is otherwise known as a "design review."

My opinion is that what to do with feedback and final decision authority rests with the proposal owner except under certain circumstances. Some of these would be if a component of the proposal is particularly complicated, clearly not completely understood by the team (e.g. there are dependencies on other teams that need more clarity), or contentious (e.g. major rewrites, switching to new frameworks or data storage and pipelines, etc.). In the latter I require consensus especially: proliferation of languages, data store solutions, and frameworks is a real problem and rarely a good solution.

[random opinion from the internet]

I am hesitant about the term "design thinking" because it somewhat implies that design is in the head rather than the hand. Design is a process that generates many artifacts out in the real world and the premise is that most of them will not be 'good enough.'

To me, design thinking means thinking by creating designs. Out in the real world. Not in the head. My maximum is "there is no such thing as a design in my mind." If it is not on paper (i.e. there is not a 'hard copy'), then it isn't really a design. The way to cultivate design thinking is doing design and failing and figuring out why things work and don't work.

A design is done when time runs out.

Good luck.

I think what go is saying is that credit card companies have trained us to spend more money by using credit cards. It is possible that you are in a small minority of people who has common sense™ but most of us (including me) tend to spend more or simply decide to spend or not bad on the small stimulus. Again, I'm not accusing you of irresponsibility. I'm just saying what I think is common.

Edit: I agree. If you're making an expense anyway, it is obviously better to get the highest reward you can get. But we're talking local optimization now.

Last year somebody opened a number of phone contracts and ordered TV (to my house...?) in my name. Here in the UK apparently you just need a name, address and date of birth to walk out of a shop with a brand new iPhone 7.

I eventually got it sorted, but it took a couple of months to get every cleared up. I made the mistake of using the phone, although the people I spoke to were helpful, I had to repeat everything from the beginning many times. If it happens again, I'll follow this advice and write letters.
CH income taxes are much lower than the USA, even when local income taxes are considered (canton tax is the only significant part, federal government in CH is not dominant).

CH VAT on the other hand is high...it's not like Switzerland doesn't have taxes. They are just different.

Granted a lot of this is about stickiness of laws but it seems like a huge battle has to be fought for removing systemic inequalities, when that seems to be a major problem in the current system

It's only very recently that reproductive rights have broad majority support. The Civil Rights Act could never be enacted if it had required 70% support.

Once the battle is won then these rights get protected. At a time when systemic inequalities are at the forefront, inhibiting change seems like something that would go against the general political currents.

The `nan` thing is actually because `float('nan')` can (and does) return a new object (well, with a different ID) each time. So it's like going `d[object()] = 'a'; d[object()] = 'b'` and not retaining the objects for lookup.

> Personally I'd just make any comparison involving different types an error

As you point out, this is what Python 3 did for `None`. But it's been idiomatic to have 0 = False when languages didn't have `False`; so `bool(0) == False` makes sense, but also `sum(boolean for boolean in sequence)` works. So you could argue that for `True` and `False`, meaningful coercion is possible, and in reverse, if zero is false-y and everything else is truth-y (like in C), then that also makes sense. Imagine if you had to cast every number to a boolean explicitly! So I guess having `d[0] == d[False]` is the lesser of evils.

The US has an adult population(who would hence have credit profiles) of 245 million people. At 143 million, this breach affects more than half of the adult population. Given this, the majority of credit rating systems of the US has been compromised. Isn't this enough that the whole "social security number as a master key" system has to be dismantled? How can it be trusted now?

There is no way to opt out of having your data collected and sold by Equifax, Experian, TransUnion. The power these companies have over US citizens is incredible.

Anyone that's ever tried to remove incorrect data on their credit report knows how painful it is to deal with these companies. Despite dealing and brokering in electronic data to buyers of your credit profile, your interactions with them as a consumer can only occur via paper mail and mailing letters which means weeks or even months for basic communication. They operate like thugs. I hope this is the end of them and by extension the other two agencies as well.

Heck, if I recall, Google hasn't even disclosed what exact part of their own code of conduct Mr. Damore was in violation of. Kind of important, don't we think? I suspect these things are purposefully written to be so vague that virtually anything can be interpreted as being in violation. Their reluctance to disclose what specifically he violated (they wouldn't even him when they fired him) suggests they know they would be laughed at.

Significant whitespace forces the look of the code and the meaning of the code together to prevent mistakes like that though. It's really silly that indenting code within a condition is a universal code formatting convention but it's not enforced by the compiler. I can't think of any exceptions where you wouldn't want to indent code like that and it's obvious badly indented code can be misleading so I don't see why a compiler shouldn't pick that up for you.

I thought the article would be about how the meat industry feels about vegetarians. Instead, it was a general overview of the meat industry, it's declining employment, and a description of of the working environment... I would be interested to know what meat producers really think of non-meat eaters. Do they look down on them? I'm a vegetarian and take an "each to their own" approach to other people's eating habits. Yet, every so often, I'm made to feel a bit awkward at social gatherings when the host has prepared mostly non veg food, or if my friends have picked a mostly non veg restaurant. They take it almost as an insult that I won't eat the food, or sometimes I get the impression they think I'm just trying to be difficult!
> discipline not to over spend

Like the discipline to never use Facebook? Extremely rare. And psychologically expensive.
But you're leaving out the more important part (per the NOAA summary):

Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones globally to be more intense on average (by 2 to 11% according to model projections for an IPCC A1B scenario). This change would imply an even larger percentage increase in the destructive potential per storm, assuming no reduction in storm size.

There are better than even odds that anthropogenic warming over the next century will lead to an increase in the occurrence of very intense tropical cyclone in some basins–an increase that would be substantially larger in percentage terms than the 2-11% increase in the average storm intensity. This increase in intense storm occurrence is projected despite a likely decrease (or little change) in the global numbers of all tropical cyclones.

Anthropogenic warming by the end of the 21st century will likely cause tropical cyclones to have substantially higher rainfall rates than present-day ones, with a model-projected increase of about 10-15% for rainfall rates averaged within about 100 km of the storm center.
I spent quite a few years growing up in Japan back several decades ago, and my experience is that Japan is about efficiency. Most common foods were served in a bowl, not in smaller, highly decorate plates, and more of them. Food was always served prepared, meaning one did not need a knife or fork. One had to learn to use chopsticks, and for rice as well.

There were establishments that look close to the pictures if one searches the usual search engines, but I observed most food was eaten in the home, or packed in lunch boxes.
