Do these people really think there is no environmental impact to creating these "zero emission" vehicles? That the materials aren't destructively being mined for the minerals used in the batteries and solar cells? That the engines and vehicles aren't themselves shipped multiple times huge distances by cargo ships using carbon burning engines? That the sunk environmental impact of existing vehicles is worth throwing away? That natural gas shouldn't even be considered?

I mean, a lot of these "green new deal" types of initiatives are short sighted at best, and harmful at worst. Wind, solar and nuclear power should all be on the table. Why aren't we talking about desalinization and water pipelines for hydrogen fuel?
If Satoshi is Hal Finney, and dead, then "what happened to the keys" isn't an interesting question. If this were Satoshi reemerging, then "what happened to the keys" isn't relevant, because they're clearly fine.
You ask for an alternative as if there is a solution already being proposed, and yet, I see none.
Security by head in the sand. Can't be any vulnerablities if I don't know about them.
Or corporate firewall tools that block Android SDK zips as "hacking tools" for daring to include such evocatively named "black hat" files as a "traceview.bat". It's not my fault as a developer that Android Studio needs me to download such a zip quite regularly to keep working on Android stuff.

It's an interesting hygiene problem. Semi-related, I love UAC, and taking UAC seriously. It's the closest thing we have to "good handwashing habits" for admin access. I don't understand how many corporate GPO defaults/admin "standard images" I've seen where if someone has admin access at all they default to UAC off. (I make sure to turn it immediately back on as a matter of instilled corporate habit. One job I had to remember to do that after every restart/full relogin because of GPO overrides. Gross.) Sometimes I wonder if there is some oath I just could sign as a developer that starts with something like "I promise always to at least wash my hands / pay attention to UAC prompts" and "I swear I usually have good reasons to authorize admin access when I reply to a UAC prompt". (And/or you know, use the GPO for what it was meant to do and enforce a minimum UAC, rather than disable it.)

(I also find it peculiar how many Windows IT admins and developers I've met that disable UAC in a corporate environment but then personally use macOS and are so happy that is has SUDO prompts and wish Windows had something similar but somehow don't realize UAC is the exact same thing. It's a strange cognitive dissonance that I don't think I will ever understand. Yes, I've heard all the arguments that Vista's first usages of UAC confused them and they gave up learning it before it settled down and they didn't want to unlearn decades of bad habits from 95 to XP, but I guess I find that a really poor excuse because I was a heavy Vista user by choice, partly specifically for UAC. Washing your hands is great, and very professional, and decades of a habit of not washing your hands isn't an excuse I'd expect anyone reasonable to expect, but especially in a hospital. Anyway, I digress.)
Is there any identifying info included in the URL showing which account it's from, etc? That'd be a significant difference from a screenshot which could easily be faked. The write-up seems to imply there is:

This process differs from just taking a screenshot of a private account you’re following for a few reasons. These public URLs contain some basic info about the photo or video they link to, including details about how it was uploaded, photo dimensions, and whatnot. They also prove authenticity; you can’t fake one. Beyond this is the issue of deleted photos and videos being stored on Facebook’s content delivery network after a person believes them to be deleted.
Not necessarily. Somebody can spam your form from multiple hosts. If you enforce a proof of work they will all need to work for it.

How is this “corruption?” This is a State hospital invoking a State law to collect debt owed to a State entity. Virginia is super aggressive with collections in general.
Good question. Given that the concept of asylum has been demonized by the current administration in the US, seems like the first step is electing the opposition party and demanding that they express their sympathies for HK protestors with legislation instead of words, thoughts and prayers.
That's a really cool map. I'd love to be able to click a button and have it show the locations of (say) major world cities, so that I can see surprising adjacencies. So if I look up the location of my hometown 300 million years ago, I can see if there's any places it is far away from today that it was actually much closer to then. It'd help contextualise the location you've entered.

There are a ton of open source projects that have done python 2/3 simultaneously in practice.

I get your point though about not being able to run full integration tests due to dependencies. Still, if you were making a good effort to keep the code Python 3 compliant, it would make upgrading much easier.

Also, my other suggestion- contributing to Python 3 compatibility for modules you depend on! That will give you Python 3 experience :)

They were specified in gold value, but payment was accepted in gold, cash, commodities, stock and bonds, and even manufactured goods I think. I think cash was only restricted fairly late on in the reparation payments - mid 1920s at a guess, i.e. after the hyperinflation.

I’ve tweaked difficulty to be easier. Start the difficulty off at 1 and increase when necessary. It should be faster now as a result. It also starts the process on page load now so it’s (hopefully) done by the time somebody is done filling out the form.
From https://compliancy-group.com/hipaa-fines-directory-year/

"The federal fines for noncompliance are based on the level of perceived negligence found within your organization at the time oft he HIPAA violation. These fines can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation (or per record), with a maximum penalty of $1.5 million per year for each violation. View our HIPAA fines chart below for the full HIPAA fines list."

And on the same page, according to the HIPAA Violation Penalty Tiers, the fourth and worse tier is "The covered entity acted with willful neglect and failed to make a timely correction".

I bet if these companies got sued for $50,000 per person using them who had their data leaked to facebook, it would get everyone's attention really quickly.
“Sure, I may have been a failure in classical music”

This breaks my heart, and it’s exactly how I felt for 15 years. Being a violin failure, when I loved violin more than anything, was so painful. But when it comes to things like playing violin, we have the power to decide for ourselves what success and failure are. Success might be practicing five hours a week and mastering four new pieces a year and enjoying the transcendent beauty of playing violin.

I left the pre-professional violinist track and ended up with an MS in CS. Now I’m a homeschooling mother teaching her kids to play violin and piano, among other things.

Our culture is obsessively utilitarian when it comes to music and sports. Playing music, playing sports is anything but playful, and it is such a shame.

C, Forth, Lisp these were all "first era" languages. Each had a chance to be used, to grow, to spawn other languages. To become the common way of thinking. Nobody forced the paths each language took. They grew organically. As people taught themselves how to code they picked the language that was closest to the way their minds worked.

Yeah,.the majority of the bank holidays in Scotland are different too and some of them aren't even actual holidays by law. As in some companies will continue trading as it's not restricted.

I've found the "out of the box one stop auth" packages rarely deliver the experience that product managers / UX people have planned for. You're usually stuck with whatever workflow the library decides for things like forgot password, password expiration policies, 2fa, login methods, etc.

There are very legitimate reasons why your SaaS app might want a nuanced workflow for these things.
>I disagree with the core premise of this article. By this logic, the most developed language ecosystems should be those built from languages which are the most difficult to develop for. Python is a clear counterexample with a comparably low barrier, and tons of existing modules with ~80% capability hacked together by random individuals.

His argument is not about difficulty to develop on, but about difficulty to shape the language and its idioms.

All those packages you mention are libraries, and you use them with the same pythonic idioms you code with. Even Python's metaprogramming facilities hardly change the semantics much...
>imagine if a train company, that owned all of the train tracks in the US, decided to retaliate against it competitors by banning some people from using their trains. This is anti competitive.

No it isn't. As long as the train company is not banning people based on a protected category (a local or federal civil right), a private corporation can choose who it does business with. A company has the right to refuse service. How does that even apply to competition? If anything, refusing some customers from using their trains means that it opens up competition for other companies to serve those banned customers.

To take your analogy in another direction - if a private train company buys land across the US, lays down track with their labor and their material, they are not forced to let other companies use their tracks. That is what you're asking for here.

Of course, if this were a public company or utility that was paid for with public funds, it is a different matter - because it belongs to the public. But a private company doing what it wishes with the private resources it acquired and manages is a right.
Meditation. Download a free 20-minute guided meditation and do it every day. Maybe at some point read "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh.

I can provide a good guided breathing meditation on request.

Meditation will help you be calm and focused. It will help you recognize and work through emotions with a minimum of harm to yourself or others.

I'm definitely not advocating self-immolation, but the same training that let monks sit calmly as they burned to death in the 60s (in an attempt to call attention to the horrifying war in Vietnam) will definitely help you deal with your breakup, illness, work troubles, or loss of a loved one.

The issue is a lot of tech companies, especially the larger ones are in larger metro areas that tend to lean left, and staffed by those who went to very left leaning schools and as a result lean further left than most. Combine this with a bit of elitism and you get what we have today.

Looks like this also uses Zookeeper. Does anyone know of a simple streaming log system / database? Like, SQLite3 for streaming? I'm using this for personal projects more and more, and the solutions I see in this space are always big, distributed and hard to setup and keep running.

I've been using a simple file format that just writes each message out sequentially in a simple format like: [event-id][event-type][event-size][event-bytes]. And there's a small TCP server that speaks Redis protocol to support remote access. But it's not really production code, rather something I hacked together over a couple weeks in the evening.

Thanks for the info. We never had anything such as a zero hour, but various extra-curriculars would take place in the hour or two before school started.
This analogy is faulty and congress really needs to clarify what they meant the CFAA to protect against.

Opening a website is making a request, technically speaking. That is not equivalent to breaking into someone's home and taking information. The equivalent would be if the head of the household told you not to stand outside and ask someone inside to give you something from the house. You haven't trespassed, you're asking someone in the house to do something for you. It's on them if they do what you request or not.

For the "valid time" primitive I was thinking of implementing something like a hybrid logical clock that CockroachDB has (but with looser guarantees, mostly just need uniqueness and monotonicity).

From the article:

> Patients also have trouble because like many U.S. hospitals, UVA bills people lacking coverage at rates far higher than what insurance companies pay on behalf of their members. Such bills often have little connection to the cost of care, experts say. Insurers obtain huge discounts off hospital sticker prices — 70 percent on average in UVA’s case, according to documents it files with Medicare.

This is just insane. Price discrimination by health care providers should be illegal.
