It requires infrastructure, so it's not trivial, but we're investigating some options. Obviously it would only be practical in other countries that don't require SIM registration, or if they do, it needs to be possible to do it via some kind of API or other reasonably automated means so that we can build a system to let people register their SIMs.
what python issues do you have in mind? the linguistic gotchas i can name off the top of my head are:

- the way mutable default arguments are handled

- the weird behavior of closures referencing loop variables

- leaking variables out of if/for/with (yes, i know it's convenient, but can bite sometimes)

- GIL stuff

- exec not being able to introduce new local variables (yes, i know code-objects have their local variables decided at compile time, but it's surprising if you don't care about that implementation detail)

other than that i can't think of many "insane" behaviors that can bite you. i'm curious what you're referring to!

and sure, i'd change a lot of the language to make it more FP-friendly if i could, but being what it is, the semantics seem pretty unsurprising most of the time

They are building a bridge over the river near me. Headlines a month ago where that the two ends were within half and inch (1.25cm) of each other - which was considered the best possible case. Last year the bridge contractor build a dozen different adapters plates so cover all possible mismatches so that construction wouldn't slow down when the two ends got close enough together that they could tell how far off they were. (the bridge was supposed to open 5 months ago, but that is a different story...)

Tax the raw materials, not the bottles. After all, the problem we're trying to solve is raw materials being wasted and potentially ending up in landfills. Whether it's a bottle or other container doesn't really change anything there.

With the raw materials taxed there wouldn't be a way to produce these bottles for less unless you somehow come up with a new design that uses less plastic or uses materials that are deemed less damaging to the environment.

Of course, this would require an in-depth review to figure out which materials to tax, how much, etc and to make sure there aren't any loopholes or unintended collateral damage. It's no easy task, but I think the result would be worth it.

Well, speaking of Italy, that was in the cities, I am old enough (while not being that old) to still remember in the late 70's/early '80's (we had a house in a relatively small country village and as kids we went there with grandmother from June to September) that in the late afternoon the milkman (actually milkwoman) made her round with a donkey carrying two or three huge (probably some 30 or 40 liters each) large aluminium containers/canisters, similar to this:

https://i0.wp.com/www.ilvecchiotarlo.it/bidone_latte.JPG

and we (we intended as the kids) were sent downstairs with either a glass bottle or often with just a pot, and get either a liter or half a liter of milk.

The milkwoman would have "graduated pans" and get from the large container the asked amount of milk and give it to us, noting it down in a small notebook, and every week or maybe two produced a bill (actually that page of the notebook) to get paid.
> Don't try to win.

I prefer to think of this as winning the short vs. long game. If a person wins this single deal for +5%, but blows up the relationship, they have likely lost the long game. Now any future deal with the 'loser' will be harder, and there may be ripple effects out to other deals.

The above is not only with business deals, but with but life in general.
>Don't worry about humanity, just see what you can do for yourself.

Thanks I do appreciate that view and one that is often said. Healing starts with us. Heal yourself, heal the world etc. So I went to see what I could do for myself. And I found that helping others was how I helped myself. So I think that often suggested philosophy is simple on the surface but actually quite the paradox.

In Spanish, if you ask "where from?" you'd say "¿De dónde?", which is also a triple composition.

The adverb "dónde" already has the preposition "de" embeded in it, as it comes from a condensation of Vulgar Latin "de unde", already meaning "from where". But Latin "unde" already is a composed form meaning "from where", and where the "-de" ending is not the preposition "de" but it's still a particle making "unde" a composed form...

So if you're Spanish and ask "¿De dónde?" you're asking

¿(from (from (where from)))?

The honking situation in India genuinely fascinates me (apart from driving me insane). If someone's not experienced it, you won't know what we're talking about. Comparing it to France / other places won't do justice. I compare it to Bats using sonar echo to move while being almost blind (I know this analogy doesn't hold exactly but you know what I mean?).

I have seen bikes in smaller town hoking continuously down a straight empty road - probably because they want to announce they're coming and letting kids / other people know they're coming and you better look out (not to annoy you but out of genuine concern for YOU).

Bigger cities have the same problem amplified. Everyone letting everyone else know that they're around, watch out.

I've lived in other crowded cities in developing nations like Nairobi - it has the same traffic problems but not a single car honking! The entire town stuck in traffic and complete silence! So it is possible, I just don't understand what gave Indian drivers the idea that this helps in their driving.

I've seen sales guys intentionally leak information to the competititon in order to try to push a company they were working for out of business so they could get out of their non-compete contract and go after more lucrative employment at a competitor. I've also seen them sabotage a company just out of spite.

Your biggest stick is actually flipping the table and doing something that seriously damages the company or puts it out of business. Comitting actual crimes like embezzlement, theft, or damaging company equipment for which you are not caught are also great sticks.

Of course, nobody likes to talk about that, they find it too high minded, but all to often that is what goes on behind closed doors. The root cause of it is a mal-formed, unfair compensation policy.

Classic example is Small business Sole Proprietorships where the ownership passes their purchases through the company and plays accounting games to hide profitability from their staff. The staff are always told "work harder to make the profits go up we'll reward you", nobody gets to see the balance sheet so the profit number they are given is fundementally hidden and there's no end of excuses as to why the business can't pay those market wages or big bonuses. Then one day the ownership sells, new ownership cleans house, and we repeat.

They'll negotiate just fine, make verbal promises, but at the end of the day there's a scam going on.

And when people feel scammed, then they do the aboved illegal\immoral crap and make the place a totally messed up place to work.
Not to mention that the US is completely different geographically. It is way too vast with too long distances between inhabited cities, most of which are small. Flying is much more feasible on a national level.

To me this kind of thinking sounds like saying the trains and Autobahn were better in the Third Reich, which is true, but completely ignoring the cost of that one benefit (built for war, paid by war and human right violations) as if it were isolated from the remaining clusterfuck of decisions of that time.

So that's why I call it "glorification". It's naive beyond belief and quite frankly it pisses Poles (who were victims of both Nazism AND communism) off when Westerners go "Oh, but it wasn't all bad..", and in the extreme form commonly heard as "That wasn't real socialism, real socialism gets other parts right, too.." (which is really hip and cool in western academia). The communists, Nazis, dictatorships, monarchies, etc. couldn't have had the "good" things without the "absolutely horrible" things.

One can't observe these things in isolation. And we have remainders of that still in the present. Many successful German companies like BMW are only so big and successful now because of e.g. Jewish slaves and theft. Westerners should be more proud of their countries and political form, and less jealous of quickly built airports in North Korea by dying workers and eco-friendliness of starving people.

"<Writing non-trivial software that is correct (for any meaningful definition of correct) is beyond the current capabilities of the human species.>"

You can say this about any tech field. Heck you can say this about social domains as well. And yet world marches over with progress being made.

"<Being aligned with teammates on what you're building is more important than building the right thing.>"

Because yeah, building the wrong thing was always good and had nothing to do with economic failures, right? Tell this also to NASA teams that build the moon race, is littered with teams doing different stuff and not being aligned. My favorite story for that is the one about how they made the suit.

"<Peak productivity for most software engineers happens closer to 2 hours a day of work than 8 hours.">

Peak productivity depends on each individual and within each individual there are seasons. I can be productive at nights or during day time, and when I am productive during certain hours for the life of me I would not be able to be productive on other hours. Procrastination is perception of individuals during their non-productive hours.

"<Most measures of success are almost entirely uncorrelated with merit.">

Finally, the single statement in this otherwise useless article that I can agree with.

"<Thinking about things is a massively valuable and underutilized skill. Most people are trained to not apply this skill.">

That depends on what your education/how your parents raised you. As for how much value this has in current society, well just ask Trump (he's still a billionaire). Also, in that regard see previous point.

"<The fact that current testing practices are considered "effective" is an indictment of the incredibly low standards of the software industry.">

Actually the standards are quite high, you should've seen them 40 years ago when Ford preferred to allocate 200M USD for paying victims than rather improve its safety when building the chassis, because that would've eaten their profits ten fold.

<"How kind your teammates are has a larger impact on your effectiveness than the programming language you use.">

Become freelancer, be your own boss and you couldn't care less about teammates. One man show where you call all the shots is awesome.

"<The amount of sleep that you get has a larger impact on your effectiveness than the programming language you use.">

This point goes hand in hand with above one about productivity, it all boils down to each individual.

Productivity is a function of concentration and understanding. If you have sufficient knowledge, what lacks is concentration. I'm perpetually amazed how people 1) fail to see this and 2) think their concentration power is fixed for life.

An example of this is when you do pair programming, your pair forces you to keep concentrated (and you force him too) - if you are screensharing you won't alt tab to reddit) so it's an example on how you can keep focused for longer periods than normal, at the expense of being more tired at the end of the day.

They model the proton as three neutrinos rotating around a positron. These are spin 1/2, particles, so the composite particle that includes all of them must have a spin that is an integer number: 0, 1 or 2 in this case. But the proton is a 1/2 spin particle. This is a huge red flag.

For comparison, in the Standard Model, the proton is made of two up quarks an one down quark [1]. Each of the has spin 1/2, and the composite particle must have a non integer spin: 1/2 or 3/2 in this case. The proton is the one with spin 1/2. The version with spin 3/2 is the Delta+ particle, that is a 30% "heavier".

[There are other technical details, like if the three rotating neutrinos break the Pauli exclusion principle for neutrinos. I suspect that this is a problem, but I'm not sure. The inclusion of the Higgs boson is very strange. Anyway, the total spin is the easier to explain and check.]

[1] And a bunch of gluons of spin 0 and virtual particles that get compensated and don't affect the total spin. Let's use the naïve version with only three quarks.
