Hyperloop One Becomes ‘Virgin Hyperloop One’
Thank you for this comment!

My problems are different from drug-induced hallucinations or schizophrenia, but I believe they are related. You (and OP) have put into words something I've been struggling with for much of my life: the feeling that I'm engaged in "double bookkeeping", and the experience that giving both 'realities' a degree of validity leads to a much better outcome than trying to deny-all one of them. Of course that leaves 'outcome' rather fuzzy, but somehow that's easier to accept and live with.
Good way to learn encapsulation with Python?
I'm teaching a 12 year old girl Python and want a tutorial to show best practices for separation of concerns, encapsulation , use of functions and classes. Most articles I've seen deal with theoretical recommendations. I want a step-by-step tutorial that is almost all code snippets and not very much text other than the code snippets. I'm looking for things like, put libraries in /lib, when to use from libname import function, when to create a class verses function. As this is for a 12 year old girl, I don't want a long essay on object oriented design, just a set of examples on what's a good way to do things. any help finding these types of tutorials for Python would be great. She's using Pygame
Until you remember everyone died from disease... and snakes (actual problem)... and larger tribes that decided "last night the moon was half, so it must mean we need to murder your tribe."

People became food raisers because it was a better life. It allowed plentiful food so that others could do things unrelated to food. Art... and science.

For one good documentary (or book), check out Guns, Germs and Steel. (it's usually found online and fun to watch!) A book which documents the reasons some civilizations went from tribes, to eventual empires, while others like one in Papa New Guinea remained hunter-gatherers. That tribe, for example, has no "beasts of burden" on the island, which were the initial "machinery" that multiplied the amount of work output a tribe could produce compared to one of only men.

But at no point does anyone suggest that hunter-gathering was "better." It was the thing everyone wanted to get away from but certain societies had an easier time doing it.

It's like that guy who eschewed modern society and went hiking out in Canada/Alaska with no research or even a map. He died. He died poisoned by simple plants that anyone would have told him not to eat. And he died less than a couple miles from a ranger station full of food, shelter, and an emergency phone/radio. "Oops."

Romanticize all you want. But never forget it's a fantasy.
not necessarily. monolateralism and monotheism aren’t exactly the same.

most versions of the commandments specify that the god of abraham is the only god that ought to be worshipped.

strict monotheism came later.

edit: that said, yes, it should be totally unsurprising.
I'm assuming freedom VS authoritarianism.

My ethics is that a company is first responsible to the customers, then employees, then shareholders, then society.

If a company isn't servicing their customers as well as it should, it's a good thing to compete with them.

Competition among startups is especially healthy because markets are often very early stage. Competitors often grow a market and encourage people to adopt the thing because there are more choices. It gives employees more career choice, especially if a company fails.

It also gives them more of a safety net. Let's say you have 3 competing companies. 80% chance of startups failing, so two of these fail and the third one becomes big. The people who were senior management of these failed companies are very valuable to the ones who survive - they already have years of very rare management training, they know the field well, they have faced difficult choices and spent a long time analyzing their own failures.

So competing with startups is very good, especially if you remain on friendly terms.
14 years ago, when low cost flights became popular in Europe with Ryanair, I moved to London with a friend for a year. To get the cheapest price, we had run a simple perl crawler in a cronjob to monitor the prices and it sent us a text over some free api.
We didn't realize that time that this could have been a massive service and over the years many businesses basically executed on the same basic idea.
I’ve already been downvoted into the bowels of the underworld but here’s a citation to support my claim:

In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided a Qualified Health Claim allowing products containing walnuts to state: "Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces per day of walnuts, as part of a low saturated fat and low cholesterol diet and not resulting in increased caloric intake, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."

Did you read my original comment? My point was that if you're using Flask, you are responsible for pulling in all of those components and making sure they work together, not that there weren't good components available for Flask. I'd rather use Django if I need all of those things and want them to work together. If you don't have a relational database, Django's ecosystem advantage (much of which hinges on the ORM) isn't as strong and Flask becomes worth looking at again.

> In regards to the 'name' being a function - a class attribute might indeed be more correct but a function allows for dynamic computation names where its applicable.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#property

Accessing a simple attribute on the instance means it can be defined as any of a class attribute (instance will delegate to class), an instance attribute (computed/set in init) or a property (computed every time it's accessed), which is convenient, especially when the primary use case will be setting the name on the class directly.

In fact you could even fallback on the class name.
Try it! Sit down. Turn off anything distracting. For five minutes, close your eyes, don't move, focus on your breathing, and whenever you get a thought, let your mind pick it up, examine it, and then put it back down and out of mind. Let your focus come to rest on your breathing.

> Why would a city agree to merge with a distressed, money-draining suburb?

From a purely self-interested perspective, it would increase their control of what happens in distressed cities. They could rezone the suburbs and build transit there to increase supply in case the city does not have enough. They may be able to help enforce law and order in areas that were outside of their jurisdiction. They may have friends and family living in the distressed city. They may have some basic compassion for their fellow humans.

>"Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment. And, therefore, if you meditate for an ulterior motive – that is to say, to improve your mind, to improve your character, to be more efficient in life – you’ve got your eye on the future and you are not meditating. Because, the future is a concept; it doesn’t exist. As the proverb says, “Tomorrow never comes.” There is no such thing as tomorrow; there never will be, because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking; there is only a present – only an eternal now.

It’s funny then, isn’t it, that one meditates for no reason at all. Except we could say, ‘for the enjoyment of it,’ and here I would interpose the essential principal that meditation is supposed to be fun. It’s not something you do as a grim duty. The trouble with religion as we know it, is that it is so mixed up with grim duties, ‘we do it because it’s good for you, it’s a form of self-punishment’. Well, meditation when correctly done has nothing to do with all that. It’s a kind of digging in the present; it’s a kind of grooving with the eternal now. And it brings us into a state of peace where we can understand that the point of life, the place where it’s at, is simply here and now."

Anecdotally my experience living in a very poor country is that even the extremely schizophrenic can have a much better life than the one they'd have in my current rich, Western country (Netherlands).

However, this outcome depended on whether these individuals had a social network that could support them. The severely mentally ill (or for that matter, also the physically disabled or orphaned) without such a network fared significantly worse than they would over here in Holland.

In fact, their situation was sometimes so bad that I'd go for the 'clinical' and flawed but consistent just to avoid that. I still feel there's a middle ground to explore, though, or at least a lot of inspiration to draw from.

How do you see this comparing to something like Dask?

Dask seems to let you write idiomatic Python code and not even think about splitting, joining, etc... and it builds the pipeline automagically by introspecting the AST.

Having to create a class called xPartitionFunction doesn't seem to favour easy pickability. Why isn't it just a function/callable?

Likewise builder, just ask for a callable, and the smallest "builder" is the state class itself.

Computations seem similar, the APIDoc states they must provide a compute() method but the example shows only a compute_multi. Is there a use case for having both on the same object? If there isn't, just ask for a reduction function and provide a decorator for one of the use case. Or don't and always ask for a list of results.

Or handle the "multi" case via a generator I guess (call reducer, if it returns a generator run it and add all items to the processing queue, otherwise add the one item).

>I don't tell people to do meditation, I tell them to go to a quiet place outside, in a park or woods, to sit and do nothing and let their thoughts go around.

Equifax was loading this script: https://aa.econsumer.equifax.com/aad/uib/js/fireclick.js

This script, from Fireclick Web Analytics, then loaded a script via Akami CDN that was hosted for a Fireclick domain, netflame.cc: a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/5462/3h/hints.netflame.cc/service/script/www.annualcreditreport.com

So this package was not coming from Equifax, but was being injected by a compromised analytics provider.
Several of the alternatives linked in this post’s comments make no effort to encrypt at all; they simply try to con users into sharing files with their intermediate server in plaintext, as if somehow that’s an acceptable thing to do.

Semantics or not, that's actually a very important topic. From my limited understanding, the meditation approach would be to firstly notice the thought or sensation, but then to neither repress nor necessarily express the emotion further or get carried away with it.

The rationale being that repression is a short term band-aid that does not allow for resolution of the issue, and can also be a way to conveniently trick yourself into ignoring important things (which you might want to be considering / processing). On the other hand, you also don't want to get further into the emotion, as it may add fuel to the fire (like getting carried away with stories in your mind about what you should have responded with during an argument, etc). So, there's some kind of balancing act there.

So reify might actually be a good word, although it may go to far, as you pointed out.
