Bad faith response. But I'll clarify to be clear:

I'm Not from the US, but from a country with overwhelming support for same-sex marriage. I'm also from a country that has a proper democracy where voter turn out is 98+% and first-past the post isn't a thing.

What is the alternative you suggest... you hope you get a ruler who agrees with you? Good luck with that.
I think Coinbase is successful because it's the "default" exchange for noobs in the US. Mt. Gox was the default exchange until it failed and if it had never failed (which is a longshot assumption, granted) then it would probably still be the default, largest, and most valuable US exchange today. (Of course, non-US exchanges like BitMEX are far larger because they offer more "exciting" products.)

CoinLab itself should be countersued by Mt. Gox creditors for failing to become as successful as Coinbase given their head start in the US.

CoinLab's deal with Mt. Gox was never consummated so they did not have any head start.

I really hate the C++11 tuple implementation as I have never figured out a way to construct it from a recursive template algorithm. I end up giving up and letting the whole thing first default construct, at which point I assign into its fields; but I feel like a "high quality" data structure that understood the rest of the language would have given me at least an iterative way to construct the fields in order, wherein if I fail to provide an r-value to copy construct an element the whole thing gets rolled back (picture an internal iterator pattern giving me linear construction as if I were in some monad). Like, I appreciate in some cases I can do this using parameter pack expansion, but since execution of function arguments doesn't have defined order it doesn't really make sense for most of my use cases.
That's a very different subject, I don't see any overlap

Disagree.

Why would somebody use Arch (a distribution with a rolling release) on a product?

Debian is a reasonably platform for such devices (though not the best due to the ~2 year release cycles, rather than eg, 10 years for CentOS distributions back when they were around). I do take the point that Ubuntu Core may be even more suitable, but Raspbian should work fine for many real world applications.

No, a straight line on the Mercator projection does not in general correspond to a geodesic on a sphere. In particular, the only straight lines on Mercator maps that correspond to geodesics are the lines of longitude, and the equator. The lines of latitude (exclusive of the equator), which look like straight lines on a Mercator map of the Earth, are not great circles, and therefore segments of them are not geodesics.
Mt Gox was responsible for the first bitcoin bubble. Tether has been responsible for multiple bitcoin bubbles now, using their crypto that was supposedly backed by the USD 1 to 1. The rationale for pumping bitcoin is the same: to recoup stolen money.

In his defense, religious belief has a history of sliding down that slope at full speed in most cases when left to its own devices. I feel that religious extremism is often treated much less harshly than secularist abuses. One example of that is how various Western countries reacted to that French teacher being beheaded: they were more immediately concerned with discrimination than with the actual murder and its implications.

There are more separate elements of lower quality testing than CPUs (which go through serious qa and binning). For example capacitors on motherboards break/explode, PCB traces degrade/crack more often than a CPU will break.
CPUs have a lower failure rate than motherboards, which makes sense if you think about it. (One is an IC, one is a complex assembly of many ICs and passive components.)

Outside of scientific computing, I typically go to Spyder on one-off scripts and smaller projects.

I like Spyder over PyCharm for smaller projects because there's less startup cost and the code cells functionality is handy for the "edit and run this part until it does what I want" style of coding, which makes the bulk of my time in small projects.

For bigger projects, PyCharm's refactoring, commit diffing, code regions, and formatting are enough better to be worth the fuss. As a rule of thumb, if I'm going to bother to set up a dedicated environment / git repo / file structure / test suite, I'll typically use PyCharm, else Spyder.

Quick note, the more pythonic way of checking par in this case would be just to:

if par:
do_stuff()

Python does some really cool, if slightly unintuitive, checks for "truthiness" where 0, [], {}, false, '' and None (could be other cases too, brain's a little foggy today) all evaluate as false. This controls for:

if par = None:
do_stuff()

not catching empty lists, empty dicts, etc.

Have you looked at the hacker news API? There is enough information there to reconstruct a tree and do your own formatting.

That is for private propeller aviation mostly. While I'm no 'chemtrailer' (as in believing intentional 'spraying' for whatever reason by them), searching for 'toxicological asessment' of jet fuel A1(civil), and JP5/JP8 for the most common military ones can be disturbing, to say the least.

Another side effect I haven't seen mentioned yet. My mother developed ovarian cancer. It had metastasized before it was detected, so chemotherapy was the only treatment option. During the chemotherapy she suffered nausea and vomiting, which is pretty much expected with chemotherapy. The unexpected part was that she suffered nausea and vomiting after all the rounds of chemo were completed. My mother lost a lot of weight.

My cousin was a registered nurse and she came to help with my mother's care. One night my mother had a crisis, and we took her to the emergency room. Just by chance the admitting physician had been an oncologist, and she said that sometimes chemotherapy damages the lining of the stomach. The doctor admitted my mother and ordered a nuclear medicine scan. The scan showed that the problem wasn't exactly what the doctor thought it might be, but it was very similar, and if could be treated with oral medications. They started her on the medications, and the very next day she ate a full meal without any vomiting.

Unfortunately, when she was transferred from the emergency services department to a regular ward, the changes to her chart didn't make the trip with her. They stopped giving her the new medication and resumed the powerful anti-nausea medicine she had been taking before. With the help of my cousin (the RN) we discovered the mistake a couple of days later, but it was too late. Her body had suffered too much, and she died a few days later.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "part of operating system, separate from the app stores", but in this case a server was delivering tainted updates, so having an OS-based update mechanism/package manager by itself wouldn't have prevented this.

>I don't agree that is technically falsified.

> I know you used "pretty strongly" as sarcasm, but it's not falsifiability is absolute - and this is not.

I'm having a very hard time parsing what you're saying. At this point, it looks like you're trying to make an argument that "falsifiability" must mean that it is both possible and practical to reject a hypothesis with 100% certainty, and if you can't then you're not doing science. Would you care to explain more clearly why the position you're taking is less extreme and absurd than that?

(Additionally, I did not use "pretty strongly" in any sarcastic way. I used it to acknowledge the possibility of confounding factors that I did not care to enumerate, which mean that even the experimental outcome of getting COVID-19 after inoculation with the homemade vaccine would not be a 100% certain rejection of the hypothesis that the vaccine conferred some protection against COVID-19. But if you're operating in a mindset of 100% certainty being achievable and necessary for science, then I can see how you would misunderstand me.)
Or, do the standard vaccine safety and efficacy testing, deploy the vaccine to the people who need it most first, and save more lives.

Optimizing deployment of the virus to bored 20 year olds may be popular among bored 20 year olds, but it isn't the best public health strategy.
That’s true, but I meant that it doesn’t make business sense for retail investors to buy it. They should stick to cheap diversified broad market index funds.
Even easier would be using Webmentions.

If someone wants to comment on your blog, they can write their own blog post on their blog and send a webmention. That can get linked at the bottom of your blog post with a text snippet summary.

There's no "API" beyond "curl -i -d source=URL -d target=URL WEBMENTION_ENDPOINT" in the traditional sense. Using microformats markup for better exraction is optional.

The result is a federated system of comments owned and controlled by nobody except the original author. No need to use someone's Matrix server or spin up your own. It also imposes a bit of a barrier to entry (must have your own (micro)blog), but if you don't want any random person to leave a comment that can be a feature.

Services like brid.gy turn Fediverse and Twitter comments into Webmentions as well; I've thought about using it for Fediverse comments in the past, but I don't want to host a new program or rely on a third-party service.
There’s plenty about it that’s defensible, the part that seems indefensible to me is the regulatory capture that leads to situations covered in the blog where insurance won’t cover cutting edge treatments. There’s a good argument to be made that deregulation would encourage innovation and lead to dropping prices and greater supply - why capitalism should stop working its usual magic when it comes to medicine is a mystery.

Yes, we’re well aware what the rules are. The point is that this is in no way comparable to what the Republicans did, which it sounds like you finally understand, so good job.

There’s a reason that Democrats like Manchin and Sinema openly oppose it: because it’s so transparently absurd and bad for the Republic.
Oppressive regimes even of the most extreme order still need to deal with reality and the choices of other parties that aren't fully within their control. If Google/Apple were to take a stand here and walk away, it would put tremendous pressure on Pakistani government, and make this a hot button issue. Imagine the entire nation waking up one day to find that their apps no longer function because their leaders made choices that they likely weren't even aware were being made. It would certainly cause the constituents of these regimes to reconsider their support of the leaders. Pakistan is a democracy, however broken it may be, and you can sure bet that other political parties would step in to fill this role.

> In this case maybe the analogy is that Apple/Google is supplying water - for money - but this oppressive regime uses it to waterboard people.

I mean no, that's definitely not the analogy. When Google/Apple remove these apps from their stores, they're directly taking action to further the oppression. It's not some innocent bystander thing, they literally have to write code or take other actions to make this happen. Remember, the status quo is that the apps stay in the store today. An explicit action is required to change that.
My point was to back up the grandparent.

This is equally science as going into the woods, picking some berries and roots, grinding them and put them up your nose, doing an antibody test, and writing your conclusions up in a blog post. There's no difference.

(But, yes, I think that writing hypotheses with 100% falsifiability, before challenging them practically, is quite a good definition of "scientific method", based on Karl Popper's work. You can compare with what Wikipedia has to say.)

Edited to respond to your edit: The word falsifiability is deliberately used to distinguish that we are talking about False, the Boolean state. The confounding factors are important - the confounding factors here mean I can't prove it False; there are no circumstances whereby the author has to accept that their hypothesis was False.
