OK. Bear with me here. This might be overstating my case...

In some sense - there are no large projects. Only projects that have failed at being modular.

Maintainability involves keeping clear boundaries between functional units so that you can keep enough code in your head at any one time to reason about it.

If we assume that Python is capable of handling more code than you can keep in your head at any given time, then surely the problem is simply one of making sure your modules are nicely self-contained from each other.

If it's a service request log, why service would have field requestId and then set it to null? Of course, you can expect anything from people that have admin/admin security on their employee portal, but looks weird. Also, street data have no field for apartment number - does nobody live in multi-tenant buildings? Of course, there may be optional field for this, but given how many null fields there are, it doesn't look like this API does optional fields. In summary, API response format could be anything, as I said, especially from people who do admin/admin, but on the fact of it it looks questionable.

Also, why credit reports for Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian were created at the same second and then modified at the same second? Probability of this happening as a result of natural client activity - i.e. just watching the logs of the active service - is zero. If the attackers had access to this service and initiated the requests, then why not show the resulting PDFs, that they supposedly also must have had access to if they had access to the API?

They can't be on friendly terms with the EU because this issue is being driven by internal EU politics and not really anything specific to tech.

The poster above has it right. The EU's goal is to become a new country that eliminates the existing countries. To do that it must have either have its own tax base, or control the member states tax. It is working on both of those simultaneously, trying to control Ireland's tax policies, and also trying to treat fines on tech firms for vague anti-trust "violations" as a kind of taxation. Note that the EU Commission does not have to win in court to claim billion dollar fines, they can simply declare a fine by fiat, thus giving them a massive incentive to abuse their powers.

I'm a Bernie supporter.. and like the single-payer idea... but if that can't get passed--how about we get rid of Insurers--and make HOSPITALS provide insurance.

You pay your local hospital $x per month based on income... something like 4-6% of your income if you earn > $30k.

The hospital might get some gov't subsidies based on # of insured patients it carries.

When you travel your hospital covers the bills at other hospitals. Since each hospital = insurer they will work/negotiate with other hospitals for faired deals than they would w/ insurance companies.

This also will do away with some of the billing requirements and could streamline that process a bit.

A good startup might be creating the billing systems that manage all of this, and centralizes everything between different hospitals.

No HMOs, Networks, etc... Hospitals could choose what extras they might cover like infertility/etc... as a bonus so patients might pick a different local hospital that has better coverage..

The boon for the hospital: Monthly recurring income from all it's patients - past, present, and future.

I don't know if single-payer is the way to go, but I don't think that short-term disruption is a valid argument against almost anything, if there is evidence of mid-to-long-term benefit.

Separation of healthcare benefits from employment seems to have significant improvement in mobility for employees, overall. I think we (US citizens) need to have a serious, substantive discussion about how we get there. Actually doing that has been made incredibly difficult because of the way any government involvement in healthcare has been portrayed in the political arena for nearly 100 years.
> Qualia offers... what?

A way to clearly demarcate subjective experience. We don't have to use the term "qualia", but then people tend to use words like consciousness differently, and the debate ends up being a semantic one.

> the difference is that the concept of an objective reality is a useful abstraction from subjective experience

Agreed, and I think there is a real, objective world independent of our experiences. But to get at it, we do have to abstract from our consciousness. That works really well for most things, until we turn it around and try to explain the nature of our subjectivity. Qualia is philosophically specific term meant to highlight that difficulty.

My simple answer to this, apart from the arguments laid down in the article, is that the Python core devs (and community) have found a unique balance between sobriety and adventurousness. I think this explains why the language was adopted by data scientists and ML researchers.
My complaints with other languages usually center around them being too preoccupied with theoretical or academic concerns (e.g. Haskell) or being too loose in adopting new features or opaque syntax (e.g. Javascript).

Also, Python is probably the most concise and easy-to-read imperative language that has gained wide acceptance.
Poverty rates have failed to decline during almost the entire era of rapidly increasing social spending. There is less than a decade of poverty rate reduction during the War on Poverty era, and it is all at the beginning, when the economy and populace had still not become accustomed to large social welfare programs, and when the size of these programs was much smaller than it is now.

If social programs reduced poverty these aren't the stats you'd see.

Good question, I suppose if you mounted them as strips like a shutter (but with 180 degrees of rotation in the long dimension) you could have strips that were black on one side and this material on the other.

> Mastodon is not successful, at all.

I don't know about your definitions, but in my playbook 800,000 users is pretty damned successful. Let me reinterpret your comment for you: "I do not want to believe Mastodon is successful, since it hurts my view."

> Apparently content that was not accepted on twitter, such as lolicon, has found a new home on Mastodon.

Unsurprising. All communities end up with some version of this problem, be it hate speech, illegal content, piracy, etc. And it can definitely be harder to police in these kinds of federated environments... but it's certainly not an unsolvable problem. People just have to want to solve it. Twitter has a huge problem with hate speech on their platform, as an example, but they've basically turned a complete blind eye to it for years and years. (And even now after they've started trying to add some support for content policing, reporting hate speech still requires far too many clicks to be reasonable, given the rate people can churn it out...)

In fact, when your platform starts to have these problems, it's usually a sign you've done something right. It means your platform is actually mature enough to abuse, unlike other platforms that failed to reach this status like Diaspora. That's not a sign to give up, it's a sign that you need to start thinking about how to solve these new problems. (And they're hard problems to solve, often coming down to jurisdictional boundaries and "default deny" policies simply because the problem is seen as too hard to fix in software. You even see Google struggling to solve these problems - e.g. on YouTube it's still common that they ban content erroneously, claiming it to be extremist or whatnot.)

> The average user would never bother to migrate to decentralized services for any other reason then necessity, lack of choice, or to escape rules/laws.

Or you know, because they want to. There are plenty of reasons to leave Twitter behind: It's adding bloat that hardly any of the users care about, with yawn inducing, bandwidth destroying live video, infuriating autoplaying video, and "moments". It continues to pollute feeds with garbage from other users with no way to filter it (like "[so and so liked this]" - good for them, but this isn't Facebook...). And now they're even messing with chronology, so you get messages from hours in the past appearing at the top of your feed instead of up-to-the-minute content that you'd expect. (And my personal favorite anti-feature, the "you have location tracking disabled, we will not track your location" location-tracking sidebar filled with location-specific content.)

Looking at all of those downsides, then comparing with Mastodon which doesn't have any of those problems, supporting large messages, spoiler tags/content-under-the-fold, having decent Android clients, and decent, growing communities, and, well... it's really quite a compelling platform for me.

OK Stackoverflow, that's enough charticles about this language or that, and which one's growing and which one gets used by whom at what time of day and in relation to which other query etc. It's like they didn't expect the attention they got for these, and now they're addicted to it. Nothing against Python... because if anything my underlying point might be that language doesn't ultimately matter that much.

But besides, there still remains the same question as always: Doesn't the posing of Stackoverflow questions tend to reflect more who's starting to use a language, than the sum total of who uses it per se? (Since presumably questions taper off with time.) If you're measuring growth or adoption, as in this case, sure, it might seem like a reasonable approximation, but it doesn't tell you anything about long-term use (by people who become experts and stop visiting Stackoverflow) or about attrition (people who quit using it and move on to something else). Thus any trend Stackoverflow can see, probably overemphasizes short-term phenomena. Which is great if you're doing algorithmic trading on the stock market and make your money by responding to the market's every short-term boom & bust (and other investors' overconfidence & diaper-crappings respectively), but not so great if you're choosing a language to which you'll devote months of study.

I mean, I want a prominent, on air "news" personality to ask specifically this of any senator kvetching about healthcare live in front of millions.

It's like on NPR today they were talking about the tax reform, and the senator was asked if there was one single thing that he would want to see come from the tax bill. He said "many" she said again "name one" he said well there are dozens" and she said "yeah but name one change you want to see that will help middle class" and he deflected again and said "we will see what happens and if the American people want a simple tax system, then we will see about giving that to them" --- they are all lying sacks of shit.

It's still highly correlated for most of recent history, meaning for most of the last 50 years. 2005 to 2014 is only a nine year period, and even during this period, compensation growth has been well half (0.9 vs 1.5) of output growth.

Don't forget Ponzi schemes! Honestly there's a lot to do in EvE, since the economy is entirely player-run. You can be a miner, mining raw materials. You can be a trader, running arbitrage between different stations trying to turn a quick buck. You can be a pirate, preying on either of the previously mentioned roles. You can be a manufacturer, creating either intermediate goods or finished products for the open market. You can be a (different kind of) trader, buying and selling commodities, trying to time the market, etc. (This is where the space spreadsheets meme mostly comes from.) You can go out "ratting", finding and killing NPCs for goods and money. And, of course, you can go join (or start!) a corporation (guild) and own a portion of nullsec (full PvP) space, fighting with, allying with, and betraying other player corps for power and influence over nullsec.

The reason you only hear about betrayals and theft are because that's what is the most interesting to write/read about with regards to EvE. While it's really cool, conceptually, that you can make a living in this game by participating in this massive player run economy, you're not going to find a lot of articles about people spending hours of their life mining internet asteroids and occasionally getting ganked by pirates.
She was a 14 year old child who was raped, who had experienced other abuse before and while pregnant. Given her circumstances, she probably had no access to alternatives or any real choice in whether/not to bear a child that resulted from rape. Given her upbringing and the manner of conception, it's not surprising she transferred patterns of abuse onto the child. Not excusing the crime or culpability (she was punished significantly for it), but recognizing that the context is significantly different.
I'm not sure, but I know with my spouse and I, we always put each others Biometrics into each other's devices (I add her fingerprints to my phone and vice versa), share a lastpass account so we know each other's passwords, add our email accounts to each other's devices so we can always look at each others email, etc. If you are married to someone and don't trust them enough to do the same I have to question the foundation the marriage is built on. As for kids, we just don't allow them to have a phone or other device until they are old enough to buy it with their own money, which so far has never happened until they are nearly 18 and getting ready to leave for college anyway.

I think your numbers are reversed-- look at the PDF at the top of this page:
https://www.gold.org/research/gold-demand-trends
It appears that Industrial/technology use is around %5, and the rest is used as a store of value. However this is timely demand and it is clearly variable.

What I can't find is the percentage of all above ground gold that is held in vaults & Jewelry vs captured in industrial uses.

That would be a better figure-- because it takes into account the centuries of accumulated financial gold (whereas jewelry and industrial gold is more likely to be recycled over time.)

Also, I would consider jewelry gold to be financial gold as well, because it is really almost the only store of wealth available to people at the lower socioeconomic levels.

> Most organisations meaningfully described as unions has a non-trivial element of excluding people from the trade in one way or another. I will never be a part of any organisation that will prevent any person from (trying to) make a living as a programmer in whatever way.

The problem is that, once an industry unionizes, you don't really have a choice.

The process of decertification is basically a catch-22: unions are actually allowed to terminate membership of employees who advocate decertification, which makes it impossible to organize enough support for decertification from current members without risking losing your membership.

And that's all assuming that you actually hold the majority view. It's quite possible that the majority of your coworkers want to (for example) ban Asian workers from obtaining work visas. If that's the case, you can't really do anything to stop your union from supporting it either.

That example isn't hypothetical, by the way. Banning immigration from Asia was one of the first major victories of the American Federation of Labor.

This could go really wrong if we let non-tech savvy regulators dictate tech stacks, specific hashing/encryption tools. Could work well, but just has a lot of potential to go very wrong.

Given that risk, as much as I don't want to live in an overly litigious society, letting the risk of lawsuits drive good security may be preferable to putting security in the hands of a few faceless government officials who themselves face no repercussions for getting the regs wrong.
