You can’t really do any data analysis without pandas in python though.

In fact python is a terrible language and the only reason anyone should use it is for access to sklearn, scikit, pytorth, and pandas.

Hopefully Julia will be able to unseat python for data analysis in the future.

When I saw the official adapter was 5.1 volts I just mentally relabeled that port as “proprietary power port” and got their adapter.

They fudged their power supply voltages up on previous models to handle drop in the regulators. I presume that will be an issue on these as well.
The 'Internet' is working as intended. The issue is how HTTP is used and its availability in most consumer devices. Regulation is required, but won't occur with a US congress that is pro-business and anti-consumer.

California could regulate companies within its borders, but it would stand to lose that sweet tax revenue on shares and RSU's when they move to a different state.
> I don't think car parking gets a rent subsidy in Japan. They don't have the US-style zoning with required parking spots per square meter, and when you buy a car you have to prove you have a monthly parking spot (which can be quite expensive due to the land cost)

There must be a subsidy here, because these cars are being driven elsewhere (low mileage != no mileage), and the comparison of the car rental cost as being similar to that of the cybercafe implies there is no additional cost of parking. So the parking is free, but it's quite valuable, as demonstrated by their exploitation of it; hence, there's subsidies here somewhere.
That renewables have certain advantages doesn’t make nuclear a moot point. The developing world will indeed be an area with enormous carbon emission potential, but where things stand now it’s the developed world that is emitting at a rate far greater than anyone else; and in these countries, the infrastructure exists.
Often when I read papers on neuroscience, I find it difficult to dismiss an analogy. It feels much like we're trying to analyze how different models of computers work by giving them all some input and then trying to discern meaning from the circuitry that then activates in response. The problem with this is imagine I give you even the precise specs of a fairly basic computing system. You're going to be able to create a lot of correlations, yet you'd probably make effectively 0 meaningful progress towards 'cracking' the system, or really gaining any meaningful degree of insight beyond repeating correlations. E.g. it may be that if you press the 'f' key, a certain area of your circuit board sees a heat spike but that doesn't really tell you much of anything. And, at worst, can give you false leads as you start to draw correlations such as 'ahh!!! it heats up when I press f, g, and h, but not i, j, k!!' When the actual reason, as is easy to imagine, might be entirely spurious.

And in this case the analogy is many orders of magnitude worse. The brain is, by far, the most complex computing system we know of. And instead of precise specs, you have nothing but previous correlations to try to even have a clue as to what you're studying. And even of the specs we can measure, it's not looking hot. The Openworm [1] group for instance has been trying to model a worm brain. The roundworm brain is about as simple as you can get: 302 neurons, 7,000 synapses. The human brain's at 86 billion neurons, 100 trillion synapses. Yet even that worm project seems to have hit some unforeseen hurdles since it appears to have stalled out since making headlines some half a decade ago.

Of course neuroscience is far from my specialty, and it's entirely possible I'm missing some critical nuance. I'd love to know why this analogy is inappropriate if anybody could share.

No it's not. The diagnostics are just basic, front-level diagnostics that they do for all machines to check off a few boxes.

The problem isn't the lack of a configuration option, it's when the default is to ignore the one configured in the operating system.

Suppose I have all my devices configured to use my local DNS where I've added names for my other local devices or changed the ones for some names because local devices should use the RFC1918 addresses instead of the internet ones that are routed differently. Suddenly Firefox on every device is using Cloudflare even though nobody ever told it to, and now I have to go touch every device and fix it, including when they're BYOD and the owners want them to "just work" and resolve the names correctly without me having to touch them.

Then the same thing all over again when Chrome does it or any other application.
That’s neat. Reminds me of this episode of a Smart Cities podcast where someone talked of building (or built?) a Google Maps equivalent that optimized for pleasure instead of time.

That would be innovation and not stifle those who rely on those physical keys to work proficiently.
> Although a lot of Americans get confused when "corn" is mentioned in various translations of the bible, not understanding that maize is not being referenced (which would be very weird indeed)

A lot of people even in the Old World have forgotten that maize is an import. For example, for several centuries now the staple food of the poor in Romania was mamaligă, mush from ground maize like Italy’s polenta. (Mamaligă still remains popular as a quick and convenient dish, made tasty with cheese and sour cream). If you wonder out loud among Romanians what mamaligă was originally made from, a lot of people will tell you that it must have always been made from maize; they aren’t even aware that maize was brought to Europe after 1492.

Green fields are of course a kind of nature. It's interesting that the kind of natural environment humans seem to find pleasant - fields with some trees, animals and some water are quite similar to parts of Africa we evolved in eg. the Serengeti here: https://media.gadventures.com/media-server/cache/19/56/19567...

The woods in England where I grew up were more like this https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/media/100142120/flooded-woo... - damp crowded, muddy and not that pleasant to hang out in for any length of time.

compare base R:

var2 <- "wt"

Now hadley solution comment: You can now express that sort of thing fairly elegantly with dplyr:

var1 <- sym("pounds")
var2 <- sym("wt")
mtcars <- mutate(mtcars,!!var1 := !!var/100)

Watch your steps: !!, :=, sym.

Thats a lot of added complexity to be able to use column names, and to top it all, the use of non standard evaluation make things very complex when one go a little away from basic EDA.

I see.

Yet, I am not ready to believe every asshole I met were undiagnosed people with autism or Asperger though.

It's way over 1:100 or even 1:30.

Also, I believe assholes have a different set of intentions than people with autism or Asperger but don't quote me on that.

I had a client who told me once he could head butt me without feeling bad about it, his doctor explained to him he was schizophrenic and that was why (yeah, right, I know). He was an asshole.

Also, I header years later he ended up shot in the head and his body was found in the forest.

Even so, one of my older bestie (whose mom was schizophrenic) told me schizophrenic people can be asshole too if they wish and play the game, beyond what could usually comes with the symptoms.

All of this is juste anecdotes though.

> Autism is easy to point at to make one think the response to "assholes" should be thought through more carefully. There are many others, not always as easy.

I believe that whether people are assholes because they are assholes or autism/asp. (and I don't believe every autistic person or asperger is automatically an asshole, quite the contrary) it's up the the other side to find the resilience/methods to deal with it in a respectful way (respect for oneself and the other). Don't put fire on it, whatever the origin.

It's my understanding governments have considered light-touch regulation of nuclear safety with the policy "any nuclear power plant that can get insurance to cover a $100 billion+ meltdown cost can be built" and the result is nobody can provide such insurance, so no plants get built.

With it having been there a while, I can't think of any specific comments one way or another, but was and have always intended to use it to rescue (typically) a comment making a good point to the discussion, or the question I'd be interested in an answer to as well.

So I can't imagine how I crossed whatever line. I generally agree wth the tone of moderation here, and degree of leeway usually given. I think my comment history would bear out in tone and style that I'm using as intended, and I don't recall ever having had a mod pick up any of my comments. :p I disagree with the odd rare one - this is hard to generalise without going away to dig for examples - usually where it seems to get a slap on the wrist for a reasonable, or historically accurate point within the flow of a discussion where the complaint of nationalistic or whatever seems a bit of a stretch.

Case in point, the guy posting links that seemed to be reliably going on every climate related topic - I'd have said nowt for one or two, but had seen enough, like on every related post I'd read in a couple of days, that I thought it would have been missed by mods and worth a mention. Others trigger much sooner than I.

Make of that as you will. :)
I liked how in Freakonomics (I think), they interviewed someone who worked at a hospital, and would regularly and randomly take culture samples of nurses' and doctors' and administrators' hands. The results of the culture were shown on a screensaver.

This feedback and public transparency was both amusing, and enforcing of the necessary handwashing.

AIUI, that's actually what's going wrong here. It only works if the charger+cable combo are both dumb enough. If there's enough fully-featured components to try to negotiate properly, the pi can't negotiate and it fails.

Using usb-c for power should have been a win. But they didn't - they just used a usb-c socket for power. There's a difference.
We also “allow” the government to use deception.

Thorcon is awesome. I love their style and logic. They're pretty open-door, they have the boldest low-ball cost estimate I've ever seen, and they have a solid set of reasoning for why it's going to be that cheap (e.g. The Tale of Two Ships [1]).

I don't really like that it's fluid fuel though. As I said in another comment, the unknown remote maintenance implications of that are very far from hashed out, and will very likely be terribly expensive for a fairly long shakedown/learning period. Fluid fuel is a good end goal. But don't get me talking about fluid fuel in a near-term first-of-a-kind plant with a low-ball operation/maintenance cost estimate. I also don't like that if they succeed, they have a very large waste stream of super radioactive large-scale components (that get swapped out ever ~5 years and put... where? That's gonna be a problem). Also, working primarily with a country with inexperienced/non-existant nuclear institutions for a very advanced reactor (Indoensia) is probably not going to work. I get the logic though, bootstrap a new nuclear regime without the old regulations. Problem is, fluid fuel reactors have a variety of postulated novel ways to increase source term. That will take work to license. A lot of work. Experimental work, in neutron irradiation.

I just wish they'd try a small light-water reactor with their shipyard construction experience first and take it from there.

I also freaking love that they use LaTeX.

> So if you decide not to reverse the mistake transaction you just get free money?

No, the law gets involved and at some point, a judge will decide whether you owe the sender the amount they mistakenly sent. It's basically the same for "I mistakenly sent you 100 that I meant to send to my friend" and "I mistakenly sent you 100 when I only meant to send you 50 that I owe".

And yeah, it's a hassle. At least you can generally find out which account the money went to, and with new IBANs, you need to mess up multiple digits, since they include a checksum. If the checksum doesn't match, the money bounces back into your account. Previously, some banks required that the account number and account holder match (within reasonable limits, misspelling the last name would work), but that changed with the IBAN system, only the account number matters now.
Exactly, now how would you do a key that contained spaces?
