That's a good hypothesis that appears to be incompatible with the data. In particular, Kuwait and Oman, similar on an ethnic basis, with smoking much more prevalent in Kuwait with a much higher obesity rate. Oman is actually richer per capita so it's not like they can't afford treats while Kuwaitis can.
Of course, it's just one data point, maybe countries with higher smoking percentage are indeed fatter on average.

There are plenty of other options. One that can work well if you have a relatively small organisation and every person really counts is to set up a profit-sharing scheme. That gives everyone a personal stake in the success of the business and it can work out well for everyone without the complexity and uncertainty of any scheme based on equity or options.

I sometimes wonder if humanity thought of the world as if it is a simulation (visualize it as a video game), perhaps we could better realize that we have the ability to change how the future unfolds, and that the actions we take will only be successful if they are in accordance with the actual behavior of the simulation (how it actually is versus how we think it is).

AFAIK, in the US, the government can bring criminal trials based on indictments either by prosecutorial discretion or by grand jury, both of which require a belief that there is enough evidence to convict but neither having to prove the guilt before the case.

I'm not sure what counts in the Assange case as it relates to someone outside of the US, however I believe many people have been tried in US courts for hacking into American companies from overseas. I don't believe one has to physically be in the US to break American laws and be tried for them, just as a company doesn't have to be in Europe to violate GDPR.

I would like to see more work being done to simulate abiogenesis. Essentially, it's a search problem -- take some elements and probabilistically form increasingly complex molecular machines to the point where they become self-replicating and exhibit the basic properties of life. Once this bootstrapping has begun, it's a matter of subjecting the proto-lifeforms to evolutionary pressures, and over time, they will "evolve" to become increasingly complex organisms.
Then maybe we should come up with a new term for it and stop calling it science. If it’s not reproducible or falsifiable, it’s not producing scientific conclusions that expand our understanding of the world.

I've never had a circular dependency I couldn't resolve. Just organize your modules into a DAG. I have a pretty standard flow:

- protocols and abcs. Depend only on builtins, this sits at the top of the hierarchy and can be used anywhere

- top-level types/models, data structures. Only depends on external libraries

- config and logging. Depends on pydantic, which handles all init config validation, sets up log level. Many things import this

- specific class implementations, pure functions, transforms. imports from all the above

- dependency-injected stuff

- application logic

- routers and endpoints

I've had some close calls since I type check heavily, but protocols (since 3...6? 3.7 for sure) are a fantastic tool for both structuring and appeasing mypy.

It depends on the product, but most SaaS companies in this space aren't doing a lot of breakthrough engineering. 9/10 of them have a shiny UI, basic CRUD on the backend (with large chunks outsourced to AWS and other managed infra services), and an army of marketing and sales people to push it onto large enterprises.

It's not wrong. Life is ultimately meaningless.

I'm doing the same thing. Except that I understand that I was able to do so because I'm considerably more resourceful than average.

I personally think that gives me the responsibility to at least improve the lives of a couple of people. Especially because it's relatively easy for me, compared to how hard most people have it on planet earth.

But if you just got the money from your parents or something, even that reasoning doesn't apply to you. Most people really don't add much more to history than hanging out and making sure their DNA is passed on to another generation. Nothing wrong with being one of them.

As far as I understood what was happening is that he may have broken the law by how he got the information, not by releasing the info. I think the accusation is that he essentially encouraged someone to hack into computers, which sounds similar to encouraging someone to break into someone's home or office, to retrieve info.

I haven't followed the case too closely so maybe I'm wrong on that. But if that's what they're accusing him of doing, I struggle to see how that's just doing journalism. Maybe journalistic methods to extract info aren't so black and white and some do similar things and yet I imagine there is a line where that info gathering becomes illegal.

For example, we have known that broken homes lead to all sorts of problems a much greater proportion of the time for ages. And one of the things that becomes more likely is crime.

That's what the docs should show because that's how it works. The docs should give you the streamlined barebones implementation. It's trivial to write your own function to use parameterized queries and add in all the type checking etc you need. It's only a few lines of code.
I'm involved in a community of (mostly online) retro video game dealers down in Australia. You've hit the nail on the head. The fact that e-commerce is so strong allows people to run less profitable physical stores as basically hobby clubs for meeting like-minded customers.

A lot of people in specialist retail genuinely care about the niche they're in and it's fantastic to come across someone IRL who cares about it as much as you do. It reminds you that what you're doing is appreciated.

Of course, there's also the element of status amongst the other dealers. Running a physical store definitely carries more clout than owning a big house or a Mercedes-Benz.

As most of the charges against Assange are related to espionage, it's very likely he will not even be presented an opportunity to defend himself in court, like what happened with Ellsberg. It's nice to think that the courts might ultimately make a fair ruling, but the amount of government misconduct means that will never happen.

They've already compromised the attorney-client privlage, a fair case is already impossible.

Reducing CO2 Emissions by Targeting the World's Hyper-Polluting Power Plants
There are almost no present day capitalists who have read The Wealth Of Nations. Indeed, the field known as Classical Political Economy is basically moribund and has been replaced by Economics. But the modern factory owner doesn't follow even economics on the basis of faith - indeed, they generally follow much abstract economics at all. I'm not all "pro-market" but it seems clear markets don't need faith - buy stuff, sell stuff, make money, lose money. The only thing akin to faith you have is confidence that X you buy today will be worth more tomorrow. But that's no equivalent to the unquestioned faith asked for by religion.
Or perhaps we drop the pretence of anything being absolute ('secure' vs 'not secure') and have a more honest discussion about the different threats and where different products do better or worse? I'm sure Whatsapp is much better in being able to resource their security measures, yet being owned by Facebook, and being closed-source diminishes their security in other ways.

On the other hand I think being bunced up with people I don't know, don't really care about or outright dislike is, at least to some extent, a side effect of the extreme centralization of work opportunities since the industrial revolution.

The security aspect is separate from whether UTF-16 lowering and lifting is supported. One simply cannot roundtrip every possible DOMString, C#, Java etc. String through the single concept of Unicode Scalar Values without either introducing lots of surface area for a) silent data corruption (what you call "recommended security practice", i.e. strings not comparing equal anymore after what appears to be an innocent function call) or b) for (deliberate) denial of service (when erroring instead). I mean, there is a good reason why all these languages do not do that in between function calls, but actually try very hard to guarantee integrity. And in a real program, an Interface Types function looks like any other function to the developer, just imported somewhere in the codebase, so good luck documenting that. Other than that I do not know how to respond to your subtle insults, please forgive my ignorance.

I'm not clear on what you're arguing. In Year 2019 there are N suspected suicide attempt visits for females; in Year 2020, there are 1.506N attempted visits for females. Regardless of comparing males-to-females, the year-on-year comparison is valid, unless you can make a convincing argument that there's been an abrupt change in the method/effectiveness of suicide that females are using.

In terms of comparing male to female, the comparison is still valid as well, assuming that males haven't gotten more successful than they were last year. Assuming that males are successful some proportion of the time, P, if that proportion hasn't changed, a bump of 3.7% in their total number of failures should give a general indication of the trend. If you'd take a position like "a 3.7% increase in failed attempts was accompanied by a 30% increase in successful attempts," you'd have to support the argument for why they're not only committing more suicide, but why it's more effective than it was before. That's hardly where occam's razor falls.
A good addition might be to point out good first guesses for the vowels in non-English names (Examples used assume a General American accent):

* "A" as in "ah" (like "ah, I see")

* "E" as in "e" in "pet", or the "ai" in "pain"

* "I" as in the "i" in "pit" or the "ea" in "peat"

* "O" as in the "o" in "cot" or the "o" in "cone"

* "U" as in the "u" in "put" or the "oo" in "doom"

(Americans might notice that this approximately reflects the sounds those letters represent in Spanish)

Exception/refinement: If you know the name is from an Indian language, read "a" as the "u" in "putt"

(Edit: Improved the example given for "a")

> You can Google php parameterize query and get atleast 2 different methods of doing this

There's no way of doing this with a single parameter. You need to parameterise every single individual item in the IN clause to do it that way, which is a horrific solution when it's of a completely unknown length.

Still better than string concatenation in many cases, but that the language has no in-built way of doing it is one of the many reasons PHP code is so often vulnerable to injection attacks. There's so much friction to writing secure code.
