No, contractors can't find enough CHEAP skilled help.

If there is an actual shortage, wages will rise sufficiently to pull people into the field or cause people to move around to fill the holes.

The fact that these slots are not being filled says that they aren't paying enough NOT that there is a shortage.

No, they’re saying they’ve seen enough evidence to report to other doctors to keep an eye out for it. Reports of this nature are not unusual in medicine, someone just noticed this one because of the drug connection.
You can go anywhere in the world and use USD, or exchange it for local currency.

BTC is accepted pretty much nowhere, and it's difficult to exchange for any given currency.

I can't fathom for a second why BTC would be more popular than BTC at least on those terms. Exchanges may be more readily available for BTC, as USD movement is controlled, you need banks etc..

> Case in point - is the 'undisclosed buyer' really benefiting $450.3 mil worth?

Of course not! They are benefiting from whatever the difference is between $450.3M and what they expect to sell it for in the future, discounted to present value.

Which means they might either expect to make money on it, or at least not lose too much on it.

For some people, buying art aren't isn't too different from buying stocks... except you can't do anything to enjoy equities hanging on your wall.
Well, I suppose it's possible literally everyone who disagrees with you is "dishonest and abusive." Another possibility is that people honestly do not see it your way. I think the most likely explanation is he expected, and wanted, it to go public so he could do the media circuit and become a cause celebre. In fact, choosing all alt-right figures to do interviews first was probably, in my view, his biggest miscalculation, since it tipped his hand.

Would it be accurate to say that your ability to count something new, starting from a previous point in time (i.e. not just from 'now') is dependent upon how easily you can replay your stream (I'm thinking in Kafka terms); or is there something in your architecture that allows you to consume from the stream from a (relative? absolute?) point in time (again, Kafka thinking leaking into my question)?

Thanks.
Even if the seller is not “in” any scheme, this could be money-laundering in action: buy an asset in cash from a seller that won’t ask too many questions, then resell it for a little bit less - voilà, clean money without losing much of it.

If the seller is actually “in”, the price might actually include some sort of commission for other services of dubious nature. This happens all the time in sports and other “emotional” markets.
Indeed, I have the feeling that all regulations will do is lead us down the slippery slope of regulating all software and computing devices, eventually creating the dystopia predicted by RMS in his famous story:

Or at least, an even more modest regulation, simply allowing all consumers to hack their own devices without fear of violating any laws.

More simply, they could make all reverse-engineering legal, but then the copyright/IP lobby would strongly oppose.

China has institutional knowledge reaching back thousands of years. It does not need US expertise on how to handle foreign policy nor governance.

Basically, In 1962 the Mona Lisa was loaned to Metropolitan Museum of Art by the Louvre. Huge marketing campaign resulted in over a million of Americans going to see it, ushering in the new era of art as mass spectacle/consumption.

I think the argument here is that Py3 is better for many people (Unicode-by-default was generally the reason, but these days it's also the numerous language improvements, e.g. async/await).

I agree- I would estimate 95% or more of really rich people are mostly indistinguishable from an upper middle class person from the outside: Sure, they have maids and maybe fly their own plane or have an expensive classic car but there are these 5% of rich people who somehow have a strange compulsion to advertise their wealth as widely as possible and they're the ones who have the 100 mil yachts and go to these sorts of auctions (the exception maybe being Bill Gates' Da Vinci notebook purchase... likely Bill just thought those were super cool)

Because negative news articles about cannabis are almost always flimsy studies trying to spread fear and push an agenda.

If cannabis was legal everywhere almost no one would care about these studies.

However, cannabis is illegal in most places and there is a battle for opinions where groups are trying to spread FUD about how "weed is killing babies".

It's fighting for people to have a rational stance and pushing for policies that don't imprison people over a substance on par with alcohol that brings out the defenders on any article like this.

> Marketing wins everywhere. Paintings, IT, open source projects, startups, everything. It seems to be responsible for 90%+ value in worryingly many cases. It may be getting worse.

Although I agree with your message (and very much so, I'm reading Herbert Marcuse's "One Dimensional Man", which among other things laments the rise of technological rationality, and the failure of capitalism to optimise for needs by creating False needs), your premise is that there is some fairness in the way values are traded. Although the law of value (assuming the classical law of value) holds for freely reproducible commodities, this sense of long run equality of the socially necessary labour input and the amount for which goods are exchanged does not apply to commodities that can't be reproduced. There is no fairness here other than the whims of speculators. The value of the good may range from nil to infinity. This is a normal part of capitalism, and it's nothing new. It happens regardless of marketing.

You don't need to do any of that. If you use `input()`, you get a string - all conversions are done for you. If you're reading from a file (or from stdin, treating it as a file object), again, in text mode you just get strings. Same thing for printing - if you print strings, they will get converted to the encoding appropriate for the target terminal.

So, what is it exactly that you're trying to do?
This is interesting but not well structured.

Basically consumer facing spending is about delivering cheap services, whether that be babysitting style tutoring, textbooks or slinging a minimally viable educational experience that aligns with government programs.

Targeting schools is an enterprise play. You either have the ability to survive the public school sales cycle, or the connections to get the money people behind charter schools to buy your crap.

Personally, I think this is a shitty startup market. It’s an insular industry, most non-content plays have entrenched competition or a bunch of players (Microsoft, google, apple) doing a half ass job for free/cheap. It’s easier to do enterpsie style business with normal government entities.

Targeting poor people is dumb because poor folk give zero shits about education. If you have the political juice, targeting a government agency with money to burn on helping poor people makes more sense.

>For some people, buying art aren't isn't too different from buying stocks

You are making it look like there's no emotion involved. Buying art in my opinion is mostly an emotional one, unless you're lucky and getting a Monet in a yard sale (which you admit by saying 'you can't do anything to enjoy equities hanging on your wall.'). Also, it is definitely not a logical rationale like buying stocks. Atleast not a stable one.

For half a billion dollars there are better ways to invest, and diversity. Without risking a single point of failure like here.

Also, what guarantee is there that this will appreciate? What's stopping from this painting's value from dropping to zero in a decade or two? Other investments do too, but that's where the diversification part comes in. Art definitely has it's place in the future, but a specific piece isn't worth risking half a billion dollars over.

Some art experts pointed to the painting’s damaged condition and its questionable authenticity.

This was a thumping epic triumph of branding and desire over connoisseurship and reality.

Interesting quote.
Only if it actually protects consumers instead of national interests.

In the EU 'consumer protection' is the guise of protecting suppliers. For example, protecting consumers from Buffalo Mozzarella means that only 4 regions of Italy may produce it (via the Protected designation of origin scheme) (it doesn't matter if the recipe/methods are correct). This way the consumer is 'protected' from being sold Buffalo Mozzarella from regions that can produce it cheaper.

This method seems to be a way to force compliance online. The EU is great but their digital initiatives are always examples of overreach. Last time it was those ridiculous cookie notices you see on websites notifying you that the website uses cookies.
Oh man that was a crazy case...
I wonder if its a person or a corporation/org that bought the painting. Number of people who may buy such a painting is probably only a handful.
In Python 3, all strings are Unicode, period. When you need a sequence of bytes that's something else, there's a separate types for that (called, unsurprisingly, "bytes"). If you need to treat it as a string, you use the decode() method and pass the encoding should be used to interpret it. If you need to get byes out of a string, it's the reverse process - you call encode(), and, again, specify the encoding.

In Ruby, strings are byte sequences with encoding attached. Unicode is not special - it's just one of many available encodings. And different strings in the program can have different encodings. This makes it possible to represent data richer than what Unicode allows (e.g. the various East Asian encodings that avoid CJK unification issues). But it also means that it might be impossible to e.g. concatenate two random strings, or even compare them for equality in a meaningful way, because their encodings are incompatible.

In the book "$12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art", it describes the insanity of the skyrocketing auction prices with the following analogy (paraphrasing since I do no longer have a copy of the book).

"If you have a $20M painting, you can imagine an equivalently priced apartment where you can display that painting in one of the world's great cities. But $150M? There is no equivalent for that. There are no apartments that expensive."

And now $450.3M?! for the top.

In "China's Art Factories: Van Gogh From the Sweatshop", you can see the bottom of the economic scale. About $20-$30-$50 for a good copy of a Van Gogh or other masterpiece.
