I saw a video that claimed it started with some British Chinese troops being moved through Canada like cattle in railway cars. There was already an outbreak in China the year before. From there it spread to all the army bases in the U.S. who then took it to Europe.

The NYtimes article quotes a GAO report, which is THE SOURCE. The $360B quotes was what $1.8Trillion would equate to in 1977 dollars, inflation.

You have yet to provide a single number or source to your claims despite continuing to insist I have no idea what I'm talking about, until you do actually show up with some numbers to back up your claims I'm done with the conversation and will assume at this point you're just arguing for the sake of being a troll.
... unless they want to reach people. Try publishing an app while avoiding the AppStore and the PlayStore - your audience will be fairly limited. Same thing if you're a politician (especially one not currently in office) and an US-controlled service happens to be popular in your country.

On the other hand, though, I doubt that much of this is actual government influence. Most of these actions are probably done based on the personal biases of the moderation team of the platform. These are surely a bit influenced by whatever opinion the current government tries to push, but they will not necessarily align with the current agenda. And this is not really an US problem; in fact, in terms of government influence on private companies, the US is probably one of the better countries.
The entire concept of unionization seems unnecessarily confrontational. It does not need to be this way. Corporations are creations of the state. There is nothing preventing the state to require significant representation of employees in every board of directors. This board representation could support management that better reflects employee participation, e.g. Sociocracy. In this way, labour and capital could work together in a more integrated manner, avoiding much of this unnecessary conflict. Or, at least moving the conflict to more granular level of problem solving where views can be grounded in real-world challenges.

Vermont has a tiny population, Sanders has massive influence. If he wanted to work on mobilizing change in his state he could. Now a better counter argument is he is elected to work in the federal government, so his constituents don’t expect him to effect change in their state law.

I would argue many people (if not most) don't want platforms to be arbiters of truth. Because it's very hard to arbitrate truth in an unbiased manner. And more often than not truth arbiters eventually fall into the trap of promoting their own agendas.
No, it's a sign that some people have way more money than they need. Which is a waste as long as other people have to worry about getting food on the table.
Yeah I'm confused. The only "data science" I can see here is the the title.

How is list comprehension a data science primitive? How did this get over 4,000 stars on GitHub with a glaring lack of basic data science functionality? Is this used by actual practitioners?
Don't expect consistency: they just do whatever they think other people want them to do. You're expecting a higher level of thought than is really present. Their 'moral' guidepost is just whatever the blob of upper middle class fashionable opinion is.
The biggest confusion I have is everybody seems to approach Amazon and Tesla unionization as "hopefully it happens so workers will get better wages!"

I could be wrong but... I'm pretty sure Amazon and Tesla pay great relative to their space. Relatively demanding, sure. I get it. We've all seen the article where some Amazon worker urinated in a bottle because "the job is just so ruthless!". They employ hundreds of thousands of workers worldwide. If it was that bad, I think they'd have a harder time hiring.

I could have sworn I read that if you are a hardworking Amazon warehouse worker, they'll train you for a more technical job. That seems like a pretty good benefit. I'm sure most Amazon warehouse jobs start in the $15-20/hr range. How much better can you really get for what is essentially reading a screen, grabbing something off of a shelf, and putting it in a box? Maybe drive a forklift/unload a truck with a pallet jack.

I feel like the same people who want Amazon to unionize so workers can get better wages + healthcare, also don't want Amazon to kill mom + pop shops. Ok... How is a mom and pop shop supposed to pay $20/hr with healthcare for a warehouse worker when they don't have AWS money falling from the sky?

In the context of China, no. Maybe in other countries, where the ruling party have not spent the last 100 years making an ideological singularity of itself, the state, the nation, and the country.
> (for example as result of Ever Given I learned plenty of things about container shipping,

One thing I learned from poking around financial models (I was/am a maintainer for a domain-specific financial modeling language used by a Fortune 500 financial services company) is that some ships are capesize[0], meaning they're too big for either the Panama or Suez canal and must transit Cape Horn and/or Cape Agulhas.

In our language, Booleans are represented as IEEE-754 double-precision floating point numbers (0.0 is False, everything else is true, with the constant True being 1.0), so for a bit I was imagining gigantic container ships dressing up as superheroes and putting on capes, and going to parties out in the middle of the ocean. Digging a bit deeper, I discovered this particular field was being used as a Boolean, and a quick web search ruined the magic of what capesize really meant.

I presume this wound up in our financial models because whether a ship is capesize affects its value, which affects the value of corporate bonds (or other corporate debt instruments) partially backed by ships as collateral. I suppose it's also possible that at some point we entered into bespoke repurchase agreements involving ships. (To avoid various risks in bankruptcy courts, sometimes financing is arranged by selling some asset below market value with an agreement to buy it back at a fixed date at a fixed higher price. There might also be a rental agreement involved. The cash flows look like a secured loan, but in case the loan can't be repaid, a court order isn't necessary to seize assets... the collateral assets have already legally changed hands.)

It’s also interesting in that is the opposite of the book “Guns, germs and steel” likes to tell. Apparently China is the place where the disease come from due to being more urbanized early with more interactions with domesticated animals. Europe just had enough interactions with Asia to have all the disease exported to them and were the first to do real exploration.
socat is an invaluable tool. I first came about it at my first job, where we (just two clueless dudes) had to migrate the mostly undocumented infrastructure of about 15 machines at Digital Ocean to Linode, adding replication and failover on top of that (making it ~35 or so machines).

During that migration, we tried to minimize downtime, so we made sure that requests made to the old infrastructure were aptly forwarded to the new infrastructure wherever possible, until DNS properly propagated. I found out about socat and we went for it. It worked great, and I marveled at the simplicity of the solution!

Ever since then, I've used socat both as an emergency saviour and as an actual service. I seem to recall using it once to go around some docker bug or shenanigans.

To understand the political evolution of Western democracies, it is instructive to read about the alliance between rent-seeking labor unions and the Democratic Party in the largest Western democracy, the US:

Open source sits alongside Free Software. Free Software as defined by the FSF is software that respects the users freedom. Freedom to use, copy, modify... They do say you can charge for it, but never claim it's a good business strategy.

I'm a very pro-union guy, so I'll give my five cents just for the sake of discussion:

Firstly, I don't know the context in which this was tweeted, but looking at it, it's not in my opinion egregiously or "obviously" anti-union, but the definition of this is of course a legal one and not a subjective one, so it doesn't really matter what any of us "think" is anti-union, what matters is the legal text in the region where it is tried. With that said, I'd also like to state my opinion that I think it's at least quite unprofessional for any senior executive to voice any kind of anti-union sentiment regardless of how mild it is, I would expect that both parties keep to certain standards of discussion and avoiding bad faith, which in my mind means not discarding the entire raison d'être of the other party.

Secondly, pointing out that unions are opposed to individualized salary negotiations is hardly a criticism of unions as much as it is a statement of fact. If the unions cannot meet this point in debate but need to revert to legal action, I think that speaks to the sad state of pro-union ideology today.
Modifications are actually strictly controlled, compared to the US, also your vehicle has to pass a mandatory safety check every two years.

The high speeds are a point of controversy. The pro high speed people say we have a low death rate, the pro speed limit people say all the studies indicate it could be way lower with more sane limits.

> and there was no mass production of masks yet

But that’s not what they said. Fauci said “healthy people do not need to wear masks.” So he either lied then or is lying now. The reason for the lie is irrelevant. If healthy people should wear masks, the lack of production capability doesn’t change the fact.

If masks work and Fauci knew they worked, then his statement that healthy people don’t need masks was scientific fraud.

His exact words: “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”

That statement was either patently false, or it was true and his current statements are patently false.

Did he lie in order to protect mask supplies? Did some new groundbreaking study come out during the next few months? Of course not. So why would a rational person trust anything coming from Fauci given that we don’t know if it’s the truth, or just some manipulative statement based on whatever the political need happens to be at the time? To be even more cynical, ask oneself why certain older mask-related research papers have been censored?

Julia optimizes for a different thing. You can get your result, as in the actual useful thing that the code does/produces, much faster than with C/C++. You can skip type annotations, not worry about the memory usage, and write your code interactively using REPL or the excellent Revise.jl package.

If you have saved a couple of minutes or hours of coding and are only going to run that code a handful of times, it should not matter if it runs a second or two slower than C/C++. This is the same rationale that Python and other scripting languages have. But unlike Python, you should be able to match the speed of C/C++ or get pretty close by optimizing your code.
I would argue that people don't want the platforms to adjudicate THEIR views and THEIR side. They are fine with the other side getting the shaft. The woke, mainstream media and Democrats, the groups that are succeeding in pushing Twitter and Facebook and social media to increase censorship are doing it because it's advantageous to them because either their political opponents are being suppressed, or, as is the case with NY Times and other mainstream outlets, it leads to financial advantages (more views, more clicks, therefore more money).

It's also dismaying that even those on the left (as few as they are) that are against this kind of censorship, are against it because it could be used against them in the future (and it will) ... and not because it's the moral and ethical thing to let your political opponents have a platform to make their case.

Arbitrary limits are very frustrating. Another service we use advertises pricing at $5/user/mo to upgrade to a plan with full history.

You can have different teams including different sets of users (sales, dev, support etc).

After we upgraded we learned that the stated pricing of $5/user/mo was actually $5/user/mo/team so if you were on two or three teams the price really jumps quickly.

Luckily they didn’t automatically upgrade all of our users for all teams. The main frustration is that there is no way to read the pricing page to know this before you sign up.
>>We've tried this. People died over it. We enacted laws to prevent it from happening, so that labor can stand on equal ground with capital.

This is simply not true, except in the most pedantic and disingenuous sense.

There were violent strikes by some groups of unionized workers, that broke the law, and that resulted in some deaths, if that's what you're referring to. There is absolutely no reason this thuggery should have been rewarded by giving the strikers what they demanded, which was the abrogation of the company owners' private property and contracting rights.

As it happened, US industry, and with it US wages, grew much faster before society gave into the unions, when the US was still a free market where people had a sacred right to freely contract.
I agree and don't understand why this would be controversial.

There are plenty of aspects of programming that need systematic solutions instead of just telling people to get better, but returning pointers to the stack should not be high on that list.

If people are doing that, it means they don't understand what they are doing or aren't thinking about what they are writing, probably both. It is much easier to return regular data structures.

In modern C++ it is rare that a raw pointer should be returned in the first place. I wouldn't be sure what to think if I had a team full of people consistently and frequently returning pointers to the stack frame of the function they came from.
Sure, if you have $500 a month laying around no problem.
It really depends on the definition of poverty. I pretty much took the argument you are making for granted until recently. I mean, how can we argue against raising people out of poverty, right? But recently I watched this interview with Paul Kingsnorth and he makes a compelling case for why these numbers don't tell the whole story. I am linking to the middle of the interview more or less this is mentioned but the whole interview is quite interesting:

I grew up in a rural area, and sometimes find 'city logic' amusing.

Need to urinate? Pull over, get out, and water the grass. This is older than time, and a non-issue. Really. It isn't an issue to me.

Defecation is obviously in another category.

Peeing in a bottle is also a non-issue. As far as I am concerned, if a woman can breast-feed in public, why can people not urinate into a container inside a car?

(Both are body parts with sexual, and non-sexual purposes)

And women can do so too, with the aid of such things as this;

https://www.amazon.com/Standing-Resistant-Urination-Portable...

To take a step back, are astronauts the next "put out" class? Tank drivers on patrol? Park rangers? Long haul truckers? Virtually all outdoor, in the country type jobs?

And more oddly, at first all I heard about was urination in bottles. Then massive outrage did not appear. Now defecation seems to be added?

Note: Amazon sucks donkey balls, but let's address the true suckage, not what I see as a non-issue.
> And this is not really an US problem; in fact, in terms of government influence on private companies, the US is probably one of the better countries.

Probably true in the US. But this is a global platform making decisions about foreign leaders. I highly doubt this same legal reasoning applies to every jurisdiction in which they do business.

Regardless, the more interesting question here is not whether this is technically legal but whether it should be legal. Obviously, there is a lot of social good that can be done by allowing platforms to ban obvious scammers. But it's far from obvious to me that this is scam. And furthermore since Maduro is a head of state, it's important to the health of the democracy for the people to know what he is thinking.

Your last sentence really clarifies much of the thinking I’ve been doing over the last few years. When people say they want free speech what they usually mean is that they want consequence-free speech.

edit:
I am not talking about the strict legal definition of free speech. I agree it's important that the government cannot punish people for the things they say. What I'm saying is that people want to be free of all consequence for the things they say. They want to shout the n-word at a large black man and not get punched. They want to advocate for paedophilia on Twitter and not get fired from their job. They want to be a jerk and not be ostracized by friends and family.
> after which they produce milk for about ten months

Which just about brings us from spring 2020 to now.

According to a quick google search, cows gestate for 9.5 months.

> then the “ideal” breeding season for spring-born calves is 9 1/2 months prior to that or beginning in April but for sure by May. [^1]

If you're planning to have baby cows in April 2020, you breed them in August 2019. By the time you find out about COVID it is already too late and you're gonna have a bunch of milk whether you want to or not.

As for what happens to the calves: they can't drink all the milk modern cows produce. Also they become big cows. Afaik we don't usually eat dairy cows because they have been selectively bred to produce ridiculous amounts of milk, but not to be tasty.
