> He “supported gay marriage” but then tried to take away rights from the transgender.

What rights do you think he took away, or attempted to take away, from transgender people?

P.S. why is that in quotes? It's literally true. And twenty years ago, when the Supreme Court was tasked to decide whether an incidence of workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation was legal, he proposed legislation to make it explicitly illegal. Furthermore, during the heyday of DADT and DOMA, Donald Trump was (consistent with today) not for them at a time when they were popular among Democrats, in 1999 saying “that's not something that would disturb me” when asked about gays and lesbians serving in the armed forces.
Now imagine that the wealthy father of another average level kid is allowed to enter the race with an expensive kart that makes 10% more power, has 10% more grip and overall gives the driver a "free" 1.5 seconds per lap. Suddenly an average driver can crush a top notch driver every time.

Because that's F1. There's not a balance driver/car. There are good cars, average cars and poor cars, almost all of them driven by good drivers. In karting (and many formula cathegories) the reverse scenario is true: there are good drivers, average drivers and bad drivers, all driving similar karts.
Yep, but a hostile entity that owns Qt can do a lot of damage to Qt by publishing on the last permitted day, and denying community contributions and destroying community governance. I can definitely imagine a hostile corporation like Oracle doing so (and they have form).
secure erase is the only way to clear all sectors on an SSD but at that point you're just relying on the manufacturer's implementation (and past experience from encryption has ruled that to be a derp).

an easy alternative is just to encrypt the drive using software-based encryption and just delete the key. Windows 10 has now stopped relying on hardware-based ssd encryption because it was found some of it was just garbage.

Edit: Additional caveats: some drives can move data in and out of the non-system viewable area and dead cells cannot be written if they're no longer viable so data can still remain there.
From the same interview I linked in my parent comment. He was killing in the name of protecting tranquility itself. Why is it that shrinking tranquility is seen as politically legitimate but protecting it is not?

"I decided to relate to him the story of how one of my graduate advisors, Dr. Resnick, also a Harvard alumni, once posed the following question in a seminar on political legitimacy: Say a group of scientists asks for a meeting with the leading politicians in the country to discuss the introduction of a new invention. The scientists explain that the benefits of the technology are indisputable, that the invention will increase efficiency and make everyone's life easier. The only down side, they caution, is that for it to work, forty-thousand innocent people will have to be killed each year. Would the politicians decide to adopt the new invention or not? The class was about to argue that such a proposal would be immediately rejected out of hand, then he casually remarked, "We already have it--the automobile." He had forced us to ponder how much death and innocent suffering our society endures as a result of our commitment to maintaining the technological system--a system we all are born into now and have no choice but to try and adapt to. Everyone can see the existing technological society is violent, oppressive and destructive, but what can we do?"
> I want to do science, not academia.

Don't get me wrong, I come from the same background you do and have similar wishes, but isn't this just "I want to do the things I like and not the things I don't" (which is true for anyone anywhere in any job)? Any job is going to have unliked things (that's why it's w.o.r.k and not f.u.n).
I liked the first part for the very reason that it didn’t apply the strict form of EMH. It explicitly says: information that is widely known. Not all information is priced in equally and your edge might be that you assign a different probability to an outcome than the rest of the market. Hertz is mostly trading and speculation right now. But two other examples I found intriguing:

1. Look up the timeline of events with Corona.

Late January: millions of Chinese are put in quarantine.

Mid February: Apple gives a warning about not meeting guidances.

Few days later: Markets reach all-time highs despite the fact that the most-valuable company in the world just told everybody that the supply chain disruption in China is real.

That was a good opportunity to go short or buy put options. And I actually did and made a small fortune.

2. Wirecard. The information about the fraud were all known, but the general opinion didn’t price that in (of course, the short sellers did). You could’ve made a killing with that -98% decline in their stock within a week. I missed this opportunity.

But both of these events showed me that there are crazy inefficiencies once in a while that can be exploited (obviously with some chance of being wrong, but that’s part of the game and a question of risk management).

The article was written and published in German and this is a translation to English. I do not know if the author translated it himself or another but this can easily explain if you find some word choices you're not used to as there are several words and phrases that would not be something a native speaker would normally use.

That isn't the goal of this project though. From https://brython.info/static_doc/en/intro.html:

It's funny how I've never seen anyone describe themselves as alt-right, yet whenever anyone criticizes the extreme left, someone like you pops up to remind us viewers that the author is actually secretly alt-right and is committing thoughtcrime.

Social media is the contemporary tool of spreading information, yes, but you don't have to use it to see everyone else around you lose their mind. Also, there are good things coming from social media too, and literally everyone in it signed up for it.

Sounds like you hold political correctness very dearly, but here's an interesting thought experiment for you. Try to imagine that just maybe, she may be right, and see if you can actually disprove it.
If they measure the number of click-throughs as an absolute and not a percentage, it might very well have been that more ads have been served because there were more online productions or they simply drew in more visitors. I think this is a matter of correlation implying causation.

The separate argument buried in here is that you can in fact control other people's actions by restricting their possible options. Which is what the technological system attempts to do by subjugating the natural world and moving people into urban areas.
What is this monstrosity in the tutorial ?

>>> document <= 'Hello!' # write in the DOM

Since when the __le__ method has any side effects?

So to sum it up:

- it runs inside the Javascript VM

- you change the syntax by breaking the semantics

- the import mechanisms is completely different

Is it still Python then ?

NB: Still, it's a fun project and hope you had fun making it.
> Having said that, I do now wonder if you could make the model work by offering very cheap, or even free, delivery on the condition that you place the order a few hours in advance for a pre-selected delivery time.

While a nifty idea, I don't think it really works. I see two major obstacles:

Food ordering is instant (or almost instant) gratification. You want your food and you want it now. Or if not now then in 30 minutes, max. You may have the odd outlier, who plans accordingly and orders dinner at noon.

The other problem would be the customers at the end of the delivery route. While that doesn't matter much for groceries that sauce on the former tasty duck à l'orange may be mighty congealed and rather unappetizing once it arrives as one of the last deliveries of a route.

I just don't think that there's enough of a market for pre planned food deliveries and quality assurance would be impossible.
Perhaps, but I see no translator credited, and Latin is the universal language ...

Except that it didn't. Anarcho-primitivism was fringe, and it's still fringe. Maybe you could say that it changed the way anarcho-primitivists thought about stuff a little bit, but that could've been achieved without murdering people. It doesn't take much effort to "get a message out" to a tiny community of intellectually-curious thinkers.

The "latency caused incorrect handling" is IMO the worst thing in all the "modern desktop is slow" complaints.

I can deal with 9 seconds latency, if I can mentally precompute the expected path taken and the results match it - this happens just by being familiar with what you're doing, and can be compared to using Vi in edit mode with complex commands.

I can't deal with 400ms lag if the result is that a different action than the one I wanted is executed.

I believe it is more than the Fear Of Missing Out.

We are very curious creatures.

It can be caused by not liking your job and looking for a way out.

It can be a dopamine addiction.

Most distractions are very easy to process so when you are doing hard work it might be tempting to look for something more easy on the brain.

'Social' is designed to distract us. So unless you turn off all knobs it is hard to ignore.

I believe treatment is done step by step. For most people cold turkey is very hard to do. But the first step is to see for yourself if distractions cause a problem (why change if it is not a problem?).
On Javascript, maybe so.

But Python has different character chain probabilities and will compress differently.

> Why is it that shrinking tranquility is seen as politically legitimate but protecting it is not?

'Protecting tranquility' is perfectly politically acceptable: environmental and NIMBY lobbying organizations are often widely admired and achieve significantly more success than the Unabomber could ever have hoped to achieve. He is not criticised for seeking to 'protect tranquility' but for a campaign to murder people connected with things he despised in a manner which carried not even the slightest hope of a net increase in tranquility.
can anyone explain what that actually means for us endusers?
Thanks: helpful to know.
Based on his actions and reading his manifesto it reads like fruit cake trying to explain why 5g is bad and the only backing their argument has is, "I read a thing on facebook".

As DyslexicAthiest pointed out his beliefies are not reasoned he read some one elses reasoning and then adoped the belief "technlogy bad".

Roads are one of the oldest technologies originally built so we could get armies places faster, arguably a bad thing but those same roads can be use for ambulances that save peoples lives. Its obvious that how people use technology is good or bad and the technology is an inanimate object incapable of ethics, the unaboamber never considers this simply because it is irrelevant to his belief system.

He started to act on his beliefs when a road brought people to his world. He could have blown up roads, bridges, power plants etc but he choose to blow up people.

The unibombers problem was never technology it was people, like a facist he blamed every one else for his problems and technology was his judaism, the solution blow up the problem.

People have accused me of miss-representing him but these people have not read his manifesto the arguments against technology are surface level like some one arguing against 5g because they seen something on facebook, the real meat of his argument reads like mein kampf because thats his belief.

Also I obviously mean fruit cake as in insane not as in gay, I have no idea if he was gay and I really don't care it has no relevance to my argument or his beliefs or actions. I dunno why some one would think his sexuality was relevant but others have commented so wanted to be clear.

- Edit -

lucideer made my argument way better than me. (I had no assumptions when reading it and related to a lot of the right wing worldview)

> the manifesto is an enormous disappointment. It's filled with base broad assumptions, ignorant and unresearched assertions on "leftism" and in particular his treatise on "oversocialization" is so transparently a defensive lashing out at the elements of society that have not been personally accepting of him.
> It’s a massive antipattern.

Yes! I used to be on-the-fence about this, but then had to try and decipher code like YDKJS’s `run` [0]. Four levels of nested functions!

Python’s syntax makes this sort of thing impossible, which I now consider to be a good thing.

Firefox prevents me from installing webextensions from sources and even forces me to send the code of my own extensions for my own usage to their webservices in order to use them. This is certainly not a browser that "gives you control over your data", when you're a hacker.

The quality of the food delivered is dubious, to put it mildly, just by the very description of the process.
The developing world's growth is largely fueled by consumption in the west - and the current CO2 in the atmosphere from the last 2 centuries was largely from the west as well.

The financial incentives to pollute are too great for developing countries. We can't expect them to bear the full brunt while Americans are buying F-150s and denying its existence.
I strongly suspect there are issues related specifically in how not just the OS, but also various applications, handle input events.

Special example for me is Chrome, which has a huge singleton in the form of Browser Process that can make your experience a hell even if all other chrome processes are idling - simply because it's the central hub that handles among other things all of Input handling and UI.

This compounds with other latencies, where often I can start building patterns of "if a windows containing that kind of content is on, expect macOS WindowServer to start lagging insanely despite being under low load)

The front seats can be mounted on top of a rigid structure that's pushed back in case of a front collision, giving enough crumple space. The lack of side doors make that solution much easier, allowing a rigid sliding cage around the passengers. The anchoring of the cage can be at the middle of the front of the car, pulling it to crumple inwards, absorbing more energy from the impact and building a denser structure in front of the passengers.

First, of all let me clear few things regarding what you said about us.
You could have understood it more correctly by asking but you decided to judge it. Nevermind let me clear those things as follows:

1. First of all, it is not a job portal and we are not asking money to provide jobs to people.

2. All the content made by professionals is free of cost.

3. Now let us come to the referral part where you misunderstood us as to what we meant to say. We never said you will be paying to get referrals from experts. The user is paying only for two things on our platform and that is: One on one consultation or interview preparation and rest everything is free. Now a user has a chance to get a referral from two places and that is if during interview preparation an expert feels he is up to the mark or if the user has score good amount of points on our platform we might refer him to our partner companies.
