A lot of it is the due to high expenses at this stage (SISP debate aside), see https://ethgasstation.info/ for example. Gas price is so high that adding any complex logic on chain is often really costly--there are few real world applications that merit this, and certainly for micro txs it's not ready. That will probably change but I think it will take 5-10 years before tech improvements + adoption start to really move the needle.
It seems there's some kind of "all your base are belong to us" weird resonance for it. I had my own explanation why it works, but the only proof that's really needed is that it became a meme.

My objection isn't the tax per se, but an utter lack of faith in the city government to spent it wisely. From the anti-Amazon rants, it's about punishing them and anyone else successful, with any resultant cash being a 2nd order effect.

My partner spent many years analyzing area homeless programs and Seattle has done so much poorer than King County. Giving them more money isn't going to fix anything.

Sawant and friends are hardly going to improve matters with their profound insights - Pol Pot is not a good model. I personally heard one of her speeches to Boeing machinists where she literally yelled at them to take over their factory and produce airliners for the people. (They'd probably do better than the 737MAX...)
Python is terrible at one liners. The sed is much more compact.
The budgets are not even close. See my sister comment.
That's fair. I think I was tired when I read your original comment.

You have a nice day.
Vegan for 10 years. Feel great when eating whole food plant based, get sick much less (and shorter durations) than before. Only thing I stumble on is junk food temptation, so many unhealthy but tasty vegan options now.

If you want to eat healthy, download the free app: Daily Dozen (a non profit made it) - it's super simple and gives you basic guidelines how to do it right each day.
Not sure if the word robot offends some groups but if you can use a less confusing word then use that, like if you want to talk about a robot that has a human like you can be more clear by using the word android or synth.
So is python
I think this is a misunderstanding of the intention. The 80% means "we want you to spend this money on employee payroll, not a new boat" and they expressed that wish by saying "it needs to all be spent on payroll" , modified with "well, at least 80% on payroll and the balance on other essential non jetski expenses". So if the business spent 100% on payroll expenses that's just fine. It's the 79% and less they're worried about.

What if next year a more virulent strand of Covid comes along that kills almost everyone in the world who didn't get exposed to Covid-19. Will you still consider their measures as ALL WORKING? We have no idea how the future is going to unfold. Everyone is faking it while demanding that everyone do as they say.

And also to provide time for treatments to appear, with the eventual prospect of a vaccine.

And also to avoid panic and shortages of essentials caused by mass avoidable deaths and work absenteeism, both of which would have been the inevitable and predictable outcome of attempting to carry on as normal.

IMO the argument is already over. In fact there shouldn't have been an argument at all. There was never a rational case for trying to avoid lockdown, or failing to test/trace, or setting up other basic mitigation measures - either on humanitarian or on economic grounds.
Why is it problematic? I never said or implied that Python should only be used by non-programmers, just that I believe the majority of Python users would call themselves data scientists (or just any kind of scientist I guess) or analysts or traders or accountants or researchers or any other job where writing code is not your job, you just write code to help with your actual job.

The point is, of course those people don't want to have to learn new stuff. They don't care about the code or the language, it is just a means to an end. That's why I left off on the question: should the future of Python be decided by the majority of its users, or by the people who get the deepest use out of the language?

I'm not making an argument either way, just trying to further the conversation around what features Python should get in the future.
Breaks/introduces annoying amount of lag for people using things like mpv for an "actual" live television experience would be my guess.
...and I belatedly thought, because I read an article about, some places are checking sewage and estimating orders of magnitude more cases than they thought.

So if there was somebody independent doing that in Vietnam, or wherever, then I would take claims of no cases more seriously.
It says exactly what the parent said: loan funds must have been spent on legit essential expenses, 80% or more of which must be payroll.

First, I have some questions for you that once I know the answers I can help you better.

1. What problem are you trying to solve?

2. Who has those problems?

3. Where exactly are they located, both physically or in cyberspace?

Based on your conversation rate, you are probably doing a shotgun approach or not talking to the people you need to be.

Second, based on these answers, do things that don't scale (http://paulgraham.com/ds.html). Actually talk to your customers and figure out what problems they have, and what solutions you can give them. In many user interviews, customers will try to give you solutions but that's not their job, their job is to identify their problems, yours is the job to fix them.

Usually several test sets are created periodically to handle any type of situation in a variety of resolutions and depending on which part of the codec people are working on, this process is very complicated and take a lot of time to ensure that all the kind of content is representative. The metric is not optimal for video content, but gives an idea if they are going in the right direction. Ultimately, blind tests with people (experts and non experts) are done on the content to have subjective measures added to the objective ones
> There is a 501(c)(3) called the "Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation." That organization created the slogan "black lives matter." That organization has leaders. They're Marxists.

So? If there's a Yellow Vests non-profit started in France that has its own charter and leaders doesn't make the yellow vest somehow within that group in any practical sense.

What's your point trying to make this Marxist connection if there's indeed just some what you call leaders with Marxist connections? I mean you're saying that you're unsure if "black lives matter" includes Marxism?

Why would it? There is a real problem with lack of tolerance of opposing ideas and witch hunting, obviously on the right but also in the center and even on the left.

And I have seen a lot of people on the left raising this problem and discussing how this will ultimately be used against them when, even when today it is done for mlre left-leaning goals. I think Professor Chomsky is extremely well aware of how easily tools of censorship are wielded against the voices of the minority.

And note that a lot of the grand-standing and calls to boycotts on these issues is coming from liberals, not leftists.

I'm having a hard time imagining what a ban on an app would look like.

Would they impose sanctions on the corporation, and go after any US-based app storefronts that carry the app for breaking a trade embargo? Maybe do the same for any US-based advertising networks that TikTok uses?

Or is a "ban" going to look like an order for government employees to stay off TikTok?

He may not have known these facts at the time he applied for the loan. There was extreme urgency projected from the banks at that time (get your application in at 10pm on the Friday the program opened up to stand a chance of getting a loan). So business owners had to decide on that day if their business was going to turn down in the next few months. An essentially unknowable thing for many/most businesses.
This is an excellent example of Goodhart's Law in practice.

Every time it comes up, I'm reminded of a Dune quote: "The problem isn't thinking machines, it's letting the machines do the thinking for you."

IMO the Law comes into effect as people stop also paying attention to the externalities in favor of "letting the [metric] do the thinking for them.".

For many years I shopped once a month at the local Walmart, mostly groceries.

Now we have the coronavirus. There is no home delivery from the store. I would like to do pickup from there, but almost nothing I would buy is available for that. I would have to shop in person, and I am not going to do that.

So I buy all that food elsewhere, even though it costs more. They are losing a lot of money on me, and don't seem to care.
Wow. Conway and now Graham.

Privatizing profit and socializing losses is better applied to more ordinary situations where ordinary business risk is shifted to the public. Here we are taking about the total possible social loss caused by a pandemic, not ordinary business risk. The point is that in society will be more harmed by inaction than supporting businesses.
What if next year aliens arrive and eat us all?

There's no plausible argument from counterfactuals here.

But let's pretend anyway - do you not think that even if a more virulent strain of Covid did arrive, country with proven measures in place has a better chance of dealing with the problem than a country whose current response is a chaotic shambles?

This comment would benefit immensely from a single concrete example. As it is, it scans as bluster.
Python has a long-standing rule that you can't nest statements inside expressions. In my opinion, this is a good rule for a whitespace-sensitive language. (This is also why lambdas can only be a single expression.)

Thus, making match an expression would imply that each case must also be an expression, which would seriously restrict when you can use match.

(Lambdas already have that problem, but there it's not so bad because you can always use a named function. In this case, you would have to fall back to if/else chains.)
It's surprisingly difficult to guarantee a high quality on every kind of videos and formats using a neural network. Furthermore, the network should be able to handle all the corner cases (think about color profiles alone..)
I feel that in this thread people are quite stubborn about interpreting things literally, or misinterpreting them all together.

I will give it my best shot at clarifying:

Preventable refers to what a given society can be expected to manage given its limited resources and given other moral constraints, such as not impinging on people's freedoms unnecessarily. A number of the terms I have used have vague meanings that can't be clarified (not by me at least) within the scope of an HN comment. A good faith interpretation of my statement would be that a society should hold saving lives as its highest priority, as long as this does not cause catastrophic costs or dystopian levels of population control. Some temporary economic costs and some temporary restrictions on certain freedoms should be accepted, I think.
My understanding is that GeoGuessr was victim to increasing prices for the Google Maps API. Before 2018 the price for 1,000 calls to Google Maps was $0.50. Now it's $7 per 1000 calls. And considering how much I move around the map when I play, I might actually cost them the full $7 for just one round of the game.

It's all simple fun until you get the usage bill at the end.
> You should favor iteration over recursion

I take slight issue with this. It's one of the ways Scheme programming style differs from Common Lisp style in general, and it makes sense. But I find the LOOP macro obtuse and ugly and many algorithms are simply clearer with recursion, so if I can write it tail-recursively and I know the implementation supports tail calls (most do), I often do that instead of using LOOP.

The other handy case for recursion is "try foo, and if it doesn't work tweak this argument and try foo one more time." There tail calls don't matter because max iteration count is 2.

LOOP is still critically important but sometimes it impedes rather than assists clarity.
Somewhere reasonable

No comment.

Imagine if ISPs started blocking content to people who went to the "wrong" websites, or cell phone providers who overheard the "wrong" phone conversations.

For the record, my actual opinion mirrors yours almost 100%, except that I don't believe Google or Facebook should be forced to publish anything they don't want to. That's no better than overt censorship. These companies are not ISPs or public utilities, in that they don't rely on government-granted monopolies over public airwaves and physical rights of way. So they shouldn't be subject to strict content neutrality requirements.

All the talk about companies shouldn't take the money happened after the fact. At the time the program was publicized as "we're injecting cash, no questions asked, into all businesses". Basically just like the "checks mailed to everyone" done at the same time.
That article (which is 6 weeks old) disagrees with your point:

“The data also shows that in Sweden, which has adopted a different approach with no lockdown in place, excess deaths peaked at 46%.”
You are referring, I think, to years with pandemics that were not caused by what can be called the 'regular' flu. It's especially comical that you have included the 1918 flu pandemic among your counter-examples.
Heh, he mentioned the bracken bat cave. I came here just to post that. I noticed it one time while looking at some "un-qc'd" radar: https://imgur.com/a/rQzgYcx

Basically you see it start as a small red dot, then turning into a larger yellow dot, followed by a green blob that covers a large part of San Antonio and dances around for about 8 hours before going back into the cave.
This is the dumbest shit ever. Of course it'll work for them because so many of their cars are leased, so people won't want to bypass computer control with a relay or custom firmware.

But the idea of installing hardware, then charging a recurring fee to use it is just horrible. It's a sign of how capitalism is simply broken. It was one thing when IBM did it on their computers when there were a few hundred or perhaps a few thousand of them on the planet, but now we're intentionally using resources to make things that may never get used, with no consideration for the environmental impact?

So who's going to be running the "feature activation" servers for older models when they're no longer "supported" by BMW? Do we really think BMW will simply unlock the features on cars about to go out of "support", or do we think they'll lock everything off regardless of what people have paid?

What i'm saying is there is a problem with monocultures. They are more susceptible to being wiped out in a single stroke. I'd say that following a scientific approach, we might want to consider not advocating for everyone to take the exact same course of action. Also, that we have to be careful to not judge success or failure too soon, that assessments can change after a bit more time has passed.
"I'm still not understanding why it's so hard to display the birthday date on the settings page. Why can't we get this done this quarter?"

Look, I'm sorry, we've been over this. It's the design of our back-end. First there's this thing called the Bingo service. See, Bingo knows everyone's name-o, so we get the user's ID out of there. And from Bingo, we can call Papaya and MBS (Magic Baby Service) to get that user ID and turn it into a user session token. We can validate those with LNMOP. And then once we have that we can finally pull the users info down from Raccoon.
People cite these old tweets trying to say he's a hypocrite, but I honestly don't think it's even that deep. A hypocrite presupposes a belief system for one to fail to consistently follow. I think Trump just shoots from the hip and says whatever he thinks will get him the most attention, power, or status at the moment. There is no belief system or set of values for him to be a hypocrite about.
The question wasn't "Does Taiwan exist" it was about letting Taiwan join the WHO.
The WHO admitting Taiwan as a member is the same as them coming out and stating that Taiwan is not part of China.

As for whether they're part of China - that's also a political thing.
If you don't believe that, then ask why the US doesn't formally recognise Taiwan as an independent country. Oh, right, because the US Government decided that it was better to keep having access to Chinese markets. The US isn't unique here, most countries don't formally recognise Taiwan either, because it's beneficial for them not to.

You can say that about many fields. Employers outsource their testing to universities. It saves them a ton of effort and it has the side benefit of shielding them from some potential discrimination claims.

Without university, how is an employer to know you would've spent 4 years working on something reasonably challenging that took a moderate to large amount of effort over long periods of time? They can't discover any of this in an interview. The fact that high school is mandatory robs it of much of its signalling value.

Why did he not say so?

"I'm sorry, but this is a political question which I'm not able to answer.".

or

"You know this question puts me in a difficult position and it is not up to me."

To me it seems his mind is made up. He does what China wants. He doesn't try to appear neutral. To him Taiwan is China.

But either way - it shows how great power China has over international bodies and it is scary.

Besides questions of WHO competency, we have to ask ourselves whether WHO even has good intentions in the first place.
