I'm not attacking data scientists. I have no objection to how they solve their problems.

My point is that their choice of Python (because of the libraries they use, or the training they got in school?) bleeds out and causes Python to be used in places where it doesn't fit so well.

If the libraries you mention were written for Ruby (and they absolutely could have been... probably with fewer defects and fewer lines of code), then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

There is no use of any of those libraries that someone could demonstrate which could not be equally or better demonstrated in one of the other languages you mention. Therefore, the only argument for using Python is that it's what those libraries are written in.

In fact, with a little effort an API could be written and wrapped around those libraries to make them available to other languages, decoupling the bigger projects from the library-specific logic. This is how it should be done at any reasonable company anyway. The data science wizards build their specific systems in whatever language they need, and that gets built into a minimal service. But things often start highly coupled, meaning the special code in Python gets business logic and persistence stuff built around it also in Python.
Cramer is an entertainer, and it's probably fine if people view him through that lens. I used to watch him because he's fun to watch, even though I had no interest in investing at the time. I'd probably still watch if I had cable.
Now it's starting to look like they actually want to sell Twitter to Musk now.

Not gonna lie, I'm torn on the whole deal, bit I still think it'll be a good thing as long as there's actual free speech, but with realistic limits and not just one-sided moderation. He better not mess with Twitter design though. It's really good and honestly appears to influence most of the other apps in some way, shape or form, but I'd also be excited to see some design changes that are new in the industry. I also want the app to be faster.
Let these students keep embarrassing themselves and their country. The more people can see how the CPC thinks of others, which is exactly what these kids are expressing, the better. Shame and losing face will be the only thing that'll make the CPC change.
An anti-detection browser is a multitasking browser that simulates browser hardware configuration files, rather than using physical computers to achieve browser protection. In order to prevent websites from detecting multiple accounts logged in on the same computer, using the anti-detection browser, can solve this problem.

Anti-detection browser recommendation: MuLogin anti-detection browser, what are the characteristics of MuLogin anti-detection browser? MuLogin can simulate various hardware configuration information of a real computer, supports custom modification, simulate MAC address, computer name, operating system, and other information.

The paid packages include admin account and sub-accounts. The main account and sub-account are mutually independent. Teamwork, high work efficiency.

Support cookies batch import/export, account login without password

By using an anti-detection browser, does it guarantee the account will not be banned?

MuLogin anti-detection browser can help users manage multiple accounts effectively avoid being detected in the physical environment, but there is no guarantee that accounts will not be blocked. The occurrence of account closures is more related to the users’ account operations and account registration information. Therefore, even in the case of using the anti-detection browser to operate multiple accounts, users should pay attention to operating carefully.
Cost per use absolutely makes sense when the items being compared have different lifespans. Although that's more estimating depreciation than what the article is talking about.

I don't like Larry Ellison nor the way he abuses his control as a landlord - something unthinkable in a lot of EU countries with way stricter rent control renter protection. But, what always saddens me, is the same narrative those kind of articles tell: "The poor locals, that grandma living here forever has to move" etc. Yes, it is saddening. But if I reverse that thought, that would mean the grandma has some kind of birthright to stay in a given place that suddenly becomes sought after. I pretty much think a modern, fair and equal society (which the US is far from) should not rely on any kind of birthrights to allocate or distribute resources.
Ah yes, the casual defense of cultural genocide based on the fact that other governments have done bad things too.

Great read. I’ve been thinking about how this applies to earth/climate change for a while, so I was surprised that the system he worries about is inflation/the economy.
I don’t get why people are so defensive of a guy who breaks rules using equipment he has a license for. Will people protest fines for Flying airplanes in restricted airspace’s? Protest fines for driving cars on in areas that are clearly prohibited? Radio equipment of that sort requires a license and that means one is responsible for being knowledgeable of regulations and respect the regulations.

Could it be that he actually wanted to buy Twitter at a discount, but mis-calculated how much TSLA stock would drop? Maybe it was attractive at 10-20% of his net worth, but the price got too high.

This is basically it. Crypto-currencies are essentially tool to evade financial regulations. The price that you pay for that is a high operational risk and a lack of property rights.
> Author is rather idealist.

Agreed. Two of these "most fundamental" questions you don't need to concern yourself with as a proposal writer: "What is the problem being tackled?" and "Why is the problem worth being tackled?" are the ones that have been decided for you as part of the call for proposals. At least that's how it works when asking for public money for research funding in most European research programmes.

It's more like:

Researcher: I want to spend the next 20 years continuing the work I have been doing for the past 20 years, please.

Politician: Actually, I want to decide what it is you work on, and I decide based on what I can sell to the public. The public decides what's important to them based on what the mass media write about in a favourable light. The mass media have the attention span of a headless chicken on speed. So expect research priorities to be frequently changing and calls for proposals to not make any sense.

So the system that has evolved around that is to make calls for proposals like "Improve citizen participation in paneuropean policy making through next-generation digital tooling."

"Citizen participation" is the part of the bullshit bingo that the politician needs to argue that the research billions are well spent. "Next-generation digital tooling" is the part that is intentionally super-vague and is the part of the bullshit bingo that the researcher needs, so that he can attach whatever he has been working on for the past 20 years to this newly-minted agenda.

So the job of the proposal writer is to weave the two narratives together: If you've been working on compression algorithms, tell a nice story about how citizens use mobile phones to call their representatives in Brussels, about how mobile phones use compression algorithms, and about how improved compression will therefore lead to improved citizen participation in paneuropean policy making.

In the next cycle, the call for proposals might be "Sustainability 2030: Reducing the carbon footprint of the European digital infrastructure backbone". Go ahead and write about how every bit of a data packet requires electricity to process and about how improved compression will reduce the electricity consumption of digital infrastructures.

Then: Ask yourself who will likely end up reviewing the proposal, and work in as many flattering citations of them as possible.

You really don't need to demonstrate that any of it makes any scientific or economic sense. You just need to pick up on the language game that people in power are playing and demonstrate that you'll participate in it as a willing pawn.

P.S.: When calls have low acceptance rates, the deciding factor is cronyism, not superior substance of a proposal or even superior proposal writing ability. Having the politically-favoured (i.e. quantitatively underrepresented) set of genetalia also helps.
How is this "for the first time?" I saw a well established company demonstrating this technology 5 years ago. They were selling it on being able to either track your employees (this was gov fwiw) or other people in your building. They could do it both through WiFi and Bluetooth and uniquely identify you. While I think this technology is concerning, I'm confused what's new here and trying to read through the marketing.
A lot of companies in the mobile world are basically wishing mobile apps were distributed like web apps were, and the mobile world is going towards a web like distribution model slowly with things like android dynamic features and app clips.

Web apps are infinitely expandable, instant rollbacks and roll outs and no need for an update & app store review cycle which can add weeks of delays between code complete and landing on a user's doorstep. Because updates are not instant, you have to delay a lot longer in deploys than you would in an equivalent web app.

You could also hack it today via dynamic libraries that you update on demand via a supervisor shell for your actual app. There is nothing necessary with browsers and web specific tech to do all of the above.
And at least, we see it. It's much easier to appreciate the threat when you see the submerged part of the iceberg :-)
Sorry, will avoid this type of comment next time.
> I think it can be: say you're comparing two cars with the same fuel efficiency, one's more expensive and more luxurious (or to make the same efficiency less contrived, you're considering the 'luxury interior package' upgrade) - roughly how many times (or hours) will you use the car over your ownership; it might be helpful to consider the per use (or hour) cost of that extra comfort.

You can get away with this because you are fixing the time interval: You'll presumably drive both cars the same amount, for the same number of hours. Hence a total amount vs per use (or per hour or per year) gives the same result. What the author is doing is comparing per use cost for very different entities, with unclear timelines.

Ask a random person: Is it better to use your phone for 2 cents, or eat an $8 McDonald's meal?[1] Putting aside that both serve very different needs, the question is missing the component: Over what time frame? The phone will die one day, but I'll always have the option to eat McDonald's.

Musk knows Twitter has a lot of bots and that they're used for all sorts of purposes. Pro-Tesla bots have been around for over a decade. As is usual, he likes to control the narrative to only benefit whatever it is he's going on about at the moment.

I'm in this rationalization camp since I actually did make insane returns from cryptocurrency. Even then, I can't bring myself to defend this space because of the sheer a) amount of scams, and b) lack of utility.

The scams wouldn't even be a problem - every fledgling platform has them - but the fact that the crypto community embraces scams and even encourages them. Scammers can rug a project for millions and turn around and launch another project within a week and everyone will still buy it because of greed.

And this is the crypto dilemma: the crypto community has utterly failed at self-regulation. Ergo, it has to be regulated by the government. However, a cryptocurrency that's beholden to government rules is antithetical to the core crypto ideas of self-ownership, privacy, and freedom.
Both are brainwashed.

Basically all Americans are completely incapable of sympathizing in any way with Chinese perspective. Nobody agrees with the Chinese government but at the same time basically no one is also able to explain the reasoning from the Chinese perspective.

The lack of the ability to disagree while at the same time understanding the Chinese perspective indicates a huge amount of bias.

It's very easy to see this. Literally ask the person you responded why the Chinese government acted the way they did. What motivated them? Likely he will give simpleton answers like "power corrupts" or dictatorships are evil without ever understanding the complexity of the situation.
He obviously has insider knowledge of Tesla, a finger on the pulse of his market and saw warnings about world economic conditions. He predicted the stock was going to take a hit, probably needed some money for his other ventures and wanted to sell fewer shares at a higher price. That way he keeps more control of the company. Occam's razor says the simplest explanation is probably right.
Scarcity in itself isn't a bad thing
On what grounds would Twitter possibly offer a discount? He made an offer, filed with the SEC, and they accepted. As far as I understand he's currently contractually obligated to go through with it.
While I do sympathize with this student, you have to be careful when criticizing a hostile government you are a citizen of. Only in the United States do we have such protections in place to prevent the government from retaliating against the individual for voicing a critical opinion.
The issue with a lot of the gripes with Python is that there's no other language that combines mature linear algebra libraries, scientific computing libraries, and industry standard computer vision libraries with easy to use basic tools like csv reading, dataframes, json parsing, etc., while also providing easy syntax and fast iteration time. I work in C++ and Python, and things that are completely trivial in Python have a lead time measured in days, if not weeks when moving to C++. This is before even getting into the weeds of writing bug-free C++ code; you need to be familiar with the nitty-gritty details of the library you're working with, because things you might take for granted may not work the way you think.

Sure, maybe we should be rewriting POC code in a language that's more fit-for-purpose if we're talking about a large project, but for that you need mature libraries, or a team with some fairly serious chops (i.e. decent math background, senior coders, expensive to hire, and hard to replace). There's a lot to be said for a language that makes it easy to be productive on technically demanding problems, while also making it easy to find new talent. As someone who's written code relying on linear algebra and CV in Rust and C#, and I'd honestly pick Python every time for those types of jobs. It's not perfect, but that's not the benchmark.
Very intuitive, reduces API development time , highly scalable, less maintenance.

I do hope this works, genuinely. I feel I’ve been burned already on this stuff so I’ll believe it when I see it. Would you say my misgivings would be proven correct if TPS is not well over a thousand in a few years?
I definitely share this belief. When I started delving into functional programming I was immediately struck by how whole classes of problems just disappeared once people found some useful abstractions. Programmes that took thousands of lines of code to express could be written in hundreds or even tens.

But FP seems a bit stuck nowadays (to my untrained eye) with the breakthroughs from the greybeards of the last decade.

Do you have any progress thus far? Anything people can contribute to?
No crypto project has managed to solve the trilemma problem so far. Decentralized chains are way too expensive and the cheap chains are heavily centralized.
Because programming is rarely about cracking hard problems. That's actually why the people HN enjoy the kind of article, it takes them away from the drudgery of their job.
Or shims. I always feel like I am responsible for a personal feeling when I need to use a shim, even if it’s because the wood I bought didn’t have the right dimensions.

Well no to be honest Spring Boot/Java really does make managing threads and web requests easier than doing it manually.

Similarly using an operating system/assembly is much easier than trying to control pulses of electricity yourself!
See my other comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31688954

I'm advocating for copyright from the perspective of independent creators, not big media conglomerates. Additionally, my comment is (explicitly, if you read closely) addressing the case of copyright being completely dissolved, which---as crazy as this seems---is an idea some people apparently support. You need look no further than this thread to prove this to yourself.

I am not necessarily against shorter copyright terms. Honestly, since the main reason I support copyright is because it protects independent creators' rights to their own work, I would be totally fine with completely striking the postmortem copyright period for non-corporate authors (certainly, 70 years is insane) and cutting the pseudonymous/corporate terms in half.

No, it's more like this:

if you criticize certain policies of the Chinese government:
if you are not ethnic Chinese:
you are racist
else:
you are treasonous
> In the United States, and many other countries, we have such protections in place to prevent the government from retaliating against the individual for voicing a critical opinion. The same cannot be said for countries like China, Russia, Belarus, etc.

There, I fixed it for you. But it's also naive to think that the government cannot make your life impossible if it's really motivated to do so, even in the US, despite the principle.

I guess there’s two questions in there… do they want to avoiding closing, and do they want to be accused of violating their fiduciary duty.

For the first, they all know they’re getting fired the minute Elon can find a way. Maybe they care about money, but I bet they also would prefer to keep their positions. I bet a lot of them believe in and like Twitter, and it’s not about money.

As for the second question… they can’t be seen as the reason it doesn’t close. I firmly believe they’ve been banking on Elon doing exactly what he’s doing. They likely can’t be successfully sued if they say “hey, we accepted the deal and did everything Elon asked…”
I find people making the opposite mistake: They take the total cost of ownership, and say that paying an extra $8K for the car is a small fraction of the total cost, and over 10 years that's just paying an additional $2.20 a day, so it's no big deal.

$8K is $8K - it doesn't matter if it's all paid in one day, or spread over 10 years.[1]

I always notice how they like to look at the cost per day and not, say, the cost per year. I suppose if the daily cost still looks high they'll calculate the cost per hour. Or as in this case, the cost per use just because it makes the number even smaller.

[1] If you exclude opportunity cost. If you include it, investing $8K up front will likely give you better returns than investing $2.20 a day.
> Ah yes, the casual defense of cultural genocide based on the fact that other governments have done bad things too.

It's not cultural genocide. Forcibly sterilising people of a specific ethnicity is literal genocide.
