yes, Python is strongly typed which is much better than Javascript's weak types.. but, still the dynamic types mean that potential bugs are not caught by compiler but the runtime (that means live Production environment!!).

Static vs Dynamic type - based on WHEN the types are checked.. i.e., during compilation phase or runtime phase

Strong vs Weak type - based on HOW strict or loose the type check is. i.e., weak types make many implicit assumptions and are very liberal in allowing different types to be referenced interchangeably or added together.

> A number of doctors should have been raising a number of red flags, because their knowledge contradicted those claims

Purdue committed fraud, but they never made claims that were so outrageous that they would be prima facie false. (If that had been the case, Oxycontin would never have been approved in the first place). The problem wasn't that the claims were outrageously impossible; it's that the claims were wrong, and Purdue either falsified or misrepresented clinical data in order to convince doctors that Oxycontin was safer than it actually was.

> Patient evidence right in front of their eyes

Encouraging people to rely overly on anecdotal observations is incredibly dangerous, especially when most doctors who prescribe opioids don't prescribe them in such numbers that these issues would be readily visible to them in the first place.

Yes, there were a small number of doctors who did aggressively overprescribe and misprescribe Oxycontin. That was the result of a direct and explicit campaign by Purdue to identify and enable those doctors. Some of those doctors were prosecuted and/or did lose their licenses, but those doctors still only amounted to a small part of the opioid crisis.

> I'm obviously not saying they should ignore or distrust all clinical data, but if they see such massive discrepancies then they should be speaking up.

Most doctors weren't seeing massive discrepancies. We know the discrepancies exist now because there were lawsuits and prosecutions which revealed the specific fraudulent behavior that Purdue and others were engaged in. But without the benefit of hindsight, these issues simply weren't reasonably visible to a typical doctor - they were only visible at large scale to Purdue, who went out of their way to mislead everyone else about it.

Arbitrary code, not binaries. You can run arbitrary code through a compiler (which gets signed automatically when it gets linked) and then run it, or you can run arbitrary code through an (already signed) interpreter.

You CANNOT run an unsigned binary on silicon, but I totally understand your confusion given their statement.

Edit: To clarify further, you cant run an ARM binary - x86 apps going through rosetta (currently) work as they used to (right click and you can open).

> which a 100% rational desire

Yup. Anyone who has Amazon Ring notifications turned on knows this very well. You can pretty much see all the implicit geographic boundaries within which people are posting videos of property crime with far greater frequency.

Queen Anne where I used to live in Seattle is a good example. Tons of ring cameras, yet very very few videos of property crime posted on the hill itself. As you move down the hill slope to areas with lower income housing, the number of property crime videos increases dramatically.

In my new neighborhood, Leschi, it is the same. You go down the hill towards Lake Washington where neighborhoods are nicer and safer and the quantity of property crime videos is very low. You head towards downtown and the quantity of property crime videos posted goes up.

It's 100% rational to not support policies that lead to an increase in nuisances like having your packages stolen or car broken into with greater frequency.

Clyde Hutchison. Worked on the wrong type of restriction enzyme (type I) which is devilishly hard because it's cutsite is stochastic (also makes it useless for bioengineering). Missed one Nobel prize there (went to his buddy Ham Smith, who worked on type ii which everybody knows and loves).

Later proposed a theoretical mechanism for site directed mutagenesis (contingent on economical DNA synthesis). When that technology rolled around, he was on the paper - apparently he did the wet experiment himself - but it was Adams that got the prize.

Missed two Nobel prizes. First one was bad luck, second one was all on the committee.

Funny thing about biology, of you ask working biologists who discovered restriction enzymes or who invented site directed mutagenesis, or who discovered gfp, they will typically not be able to tell you.
This is what irked and continues to irk me about working in a customer support position. When I was going above and beyond for customers, customers would go out of their way to let my boss and others know that I was their hero. However, what did that get me? A shallow, perfunctory reply that "the [redacted] department was lucky to have me" and to keep doing great work! When I'd meet with my boss or get feedback, they'd basically shit on my numbers.

As a consequence, I eventually gave in and decided to improve my numbers to see how "well" i could do. I was able to cut down my times to about a third of a normal agent, but that also resulted in me being more robotic and much less of a human to the customers.

Most American street lamps are already "Level 2 range" for historic reasons that many of them are high powered sodium lamps or extremely early fluorescents.

In most major US cities the combined density of traffic lights, street lamps, and parking meters (especially parking meters!) is extremely high; much higher than average in Europe from what I've seen. Plus, most US cities don't have historic preservation laws that apply to "street furniture" like street lamps and parking meters, as opposed to European cities that have already done a lot of work into shaping EV plugs to look more like historic street furniture and fit within preservation law limits. Europe has a slight advantage that their default plug output is closer to "Level 2" than America's paltry "Level 1" wall outlets, but even that advantage isn't as huge as it seems to some of these discussions. (Especially, again, given America wired most streets and parking lots for "Level 2" in the first place because those styles of street lamps were more convenient for more decades.)

It is just as simple as adding plugs to the streets. People keep acting like car chargers are some sort of futuristic new electricity component, but at the end of the day it is a slightly smarter US dryer plug and maybe a meter. Maybe we need to beef up those circuits to support future demands, but just starting with the demand we have today we don't need to worry so much, the capacity is already there, and we know how to scale the infrastructure for demand as we add it, because scaling electricity infrastructure is a well solved problem. So what if it is a "lot of work"? That's not a "huge high-level rework", as suggested above, that's an "expand what's already there, eventually as needed/demanded". We're not moving to some foreign concept of a new energy grid, we are taking the energy grid we have and expanding it as demand happens (again, nowhere conceptually any different than what cities have done since the very first electric street lamp rollouts in the 1910s).
I'm honestly interested about this, Facebook is a big company.

>> But why are we discussing the ship's property anyway?)

Fair response. It started from commenting on how corporate law shields and obscures ownership or interest from liability. In this case its liability for blowing up Beirut. The game is usually about tax liability, but it's a similar game.

My point is that when lawlessness in relation to tax occurs... it's usually enabled by corporation law, and the obscurity inherent in it. Something similar seems to have happened here, at least if this article is accurate.

the Russian man variously described as the owner or the operator of the Moldovan-flagged MV Rhosus, is said to have abandoned the vessel in Lebanon after declaring bankruptcy. The vessel’s deadly cargo had been purchased from the country of Georgia by a Mozambican firm that produces commercial explosives, via a British middleman trading firm linked to Ukraine.

The ownership of the Rhosus, and the companies that ordered the nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate to be transported halfway around the world in a rickety ship, are obscured by layers of secrecy

Article has a weird claim about Kyiv metro and decommunisation. Kyiv metro stations are full of advertising eysores, that's true, but that predated decomunnisation laws by few decades. Actual decommunisation mostly affected station names (one can't have anything named after Lenin or his boys in Kyiv), removal of occasional scicle-and-hammer here and there and few major replacements. In some places communism-related imagenary was replaced with something more neutral and matching the style of the station, in others removed completely [0].

>Private developers do the work, for profit, most often for investment groups.

Most people do most work for profit. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Developers will, of course, only build when they can turn a profit. That's what capitalism means. But we should be able to arrange things such that the community benefits. If you remove artificial costs (e.g. bad-faith environmental reviews, meaningless red tape for code- and zoning-compliant projects), then the cost of development goes down, and so prices should settle lower. And when the top of your demand curve moves into those new, expensive housing units, they move out of somewhere cheaper. Any supply removes pressure from the market - you want rich people moving into expensive housing, because it means they're moving out of less-desirable housing, which will then necessarily have lower prices.

I have absolutely zero problem with creators who make a Patreon and get paid for their work through patronage. That would work even without copyright. The problem is copyright, not creators getting paid.

In order for creators to get paid via the copyright system, artificial scarcity of data is needed. In order to create artificial scarcity, people's computers must be compromised with DRM so that they won't be able to make and distribute unauthorized copies of works. Allowing anyone to compromise and own our computers by design and for any reason is a really bad idea and will probably lead to total worldwide surveillance.

In Florida, opioid prescriptions were recently as easy to get as a medical marijuana card in California before full legalization.[1] The drugs could then be smuggled by car to states with restrictive prescription tracing. The smugglers had legal protection because the prescription was in their name.

As someone that likes and uses OCaml a lot but uses Julia for scientific computing, it's not worth it, just use Julia.

Yes, I misinterpreted the article. I assumed it was 4 rooms that each occupant could access, including shared rooms such as living rooms. A better summary is:

* houses larger than 4 rooms per occupant bring no increase in satisfaction with increasing size.

I find it funny that anyone would romanticises socialist architecture. I've grown up in a port town in former Yugoslavia (Rijeka) and if you walk throughout the city it's obvious the communist revolution was a regression in standards of living and cultural/technological sophistication.

A lot of the buildings from the early 1900s look impressive even today (despite being terribly maintained) - when you see the level of detail, luxury and attention to craftsmanship it's obvious that those people are not of the same kind that lived there later. Communism started by "socialising" the property of previous owners and exiling/killing them - the new owners were not fit to govern them.

This is also what happened post civil war - "privatisation" ended up with generals and people with political collections acquiring major companies and then running them to ground with incompetence, or zombifying them at the expense of public spending.

By culture and attitude, I do not mean the objective criteria defining the healthcare system. I mean how things go when you have a patient encounter. American patients are perceived as far more legally agressive and vindicative. True or not, this results in an overly defensive response from american MDs. Unfortunately, medicine has that in common with war that a dead patient is less problematic than an injured patient. Hence, the opiate crisis.

This is purely cultural. European patients and MDs are much less aggressive.
I'll root for them once they stop pushing exclusives (paid for monopoly on distribution rights) vs steam/etc. It isn't the same issue but it's close enough that I find it ironic they are complaining about a monopoly store while trying to compete against Steam/etc by buying a monopoly on a game at least during the first 6 months of release.
