Not a fan of trade barriers, but love it when CEOs go to jail for ignoring the law. Now start enforcing copyright laws against AI companies please A (classically) liberal society c…

A majority thought differently. They knew who Trump was and who Kamala was, and they voted for Trump. That's how it goes in a democracy... Anyways, they're getting what they voted …

Especially given that a popular open source project recently tried to do exactly that. https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327 I really got fooled here for a second, but the …

Are you kidding me? Hamas controlled the aid distribution until the US and Israel recently implemented their own distribution channels. BTW, here's 120 Million funneled through te …

That's like saying the EU fundeh Hamas because they gave aid money to Gaza. If you squint at it the right way then maybe, but fundamentally it's disingenuous to call something like…

Care to articulate them?

Yes. This wording just misses the mark and sounds super tone deaf Not sure that an apology is necessary though. Some overconfident marketing person tried something, and it failed. …

I'm sure you're fun at parties

You're mixing up AI and Blockchain there, bud. AI has other, much deeper problems than energy usage, but nice virtue signalling nonetheless.

Love the idea! And thanks for sharing the script =)

If you can find such a "choke point" that makes it relatively easy to enforce, then maybe. But I suspect that won't work for certain products especially if they're B2C, and still b…

Who is "they"? The government is generally not in the business of developing software But I have to agree that actual alternatives are a prerequisite for changing anything about th…

While I generally agree that it's disingenuous, this framing could activate the reflexive hate against Israel that many people share and actually get something done. Would be funny…

I agree, that the EU breaking up the tech giants is insane, but I don't think that banning them is much better. How would you enforce this? I don't want a big firewall like china h…

I don't see any evidence that this should be the case. My email appears in dumps on haveibeenpwnd too, because of database dumps. How is that evidence that there's a key logger on …

For example when reading a CSV. Try using `read_csv` on a file that contains two letter country codes including NA.

Damn, you're right ^^' Thanks for pointing that out

Pandas has a Nigeria problem, where NA -> NaN. It's not that bad, because you can explicitly turn that behavior off, but ask me how I know =(

> I'm just saying, we change the market via regulation (or at least, used to) all the time, and businesses survive despite their endless moaning about it. Ah, got it. Then I'd say …

I read that as "the US government is already crippling the economy, so other measures potentially crippling the economy are not a problem," but maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

> There was likely economic fallout many would call extensive when we mandated equal wages for minorities and an end to child labor, and yet businesses soldier on. Advertising isn'…

Trump's tariffs are idiotic, and I'm against them. I don't see your point

I feel that the lumping together of advertising and propaganda in the article is very apt. That's why I find it somewhat sinister. You should be allowed to try to change minds. If …
