Right. Russia has been grinding for 50km in eastern Ukraine for 4 years, and now suddenly it wants to attack an alliance 7x its population and 20x its economy. It sounds like yet another excuse to erode liberty than an actual threat to the west.

income tax is a particular instance of 'tax in general'.

surely there is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_as_theft

great idea, let's people without skin in the game to vote for whose who have.

you can but they can't. just plain hypocrisy.

i this context, "who cares" means "whose business". and the answer by the western society is that no ones but person in question.

bucketing ppl by birth year is literally a discrimination.

H/L/M - would be helpful (High/Low/Medium) Escape as finish a game is pretty annoying (that's what you press after 'i') f1/2/3.. would be nice to - go to the next number in the row open all unflagged around current cell would be useful

Interestingly it has Thunderbolt 4 (40Gb), 6K typically saturates 30-31Gb, which leaves less 10Gb/s which isn't a lot especially assuming 2.5Gb network. Looks like a perfect case for TB5 and given its price.

actually it's quite the opposite: lectures are as approachable as one could possible make them, no fancy math and a walkthrough over attention is all you need

it's an ongoing project, the last lecture is about i year old

no doubt, jq language makes sense for hierarchical data structures but how much useful is it for table formats? ie duckdb can do all of that

out of curiosity, what does your service do that it handles almost 700K events/sec?

yes, but the capital is still tied to it. you want it to Have a meaningful ROI, not sitting in a warehouse.

my experience was positive in context of pymc and arviz (as a way to represent posterior and posterior predictive distributions). API is sane and quite easy to get around.

tested, works for me

note: with duckdb you get network storage for free (ie delta table on s3 works the same as local) and i guess a smaller deps than pyarrow (might be wrong)

not sure why it should be specific to parquet file. a thin UI wrapper around duckdb could do the trick but for majority of formats (pq, csv, json, sqlite, iceberg, deltalake)

you don't have to do it in one go, i usually do pen and paper, 45m-1h of video time (~2h wall time) and often redo the same exercise a couple of months later

Unfortunately, there is only a ‘treatment’ group but no control group (aka non-repeatable treatment), so it's hard to draw conclusions from it.

Also, the Poland location could be another explanation: if your neighbor is Russia, with whom you have (let’s put it mildly) a long history, but you’re also a NATO member under the U.S. nuclear umbrella, you have plenty of reasons to appreciate the aforementioned country. Disclaimer: just another possible explanation.

could not disagree with that

This is what chatgpt suggested to make it minimal viable agency (align with aforementioned acts): Staff: 10-50 employees, mostly in HQ Budget: ~$1-2M for core staff & admin, rest funneled through grants Field Presence: 1-3 priority countries, skeleton operations Mission Execution: Reduced to policy advising, reports, & strategic partnerships

This would keep USAID legally operational while effectively neutering it.

You’re not free to burn as much fuel as you want, as there are economic and physical limits in place.

What you are free to do is choose how to allocate resources—heat up or cool down your apartment, train/run a neural network, watch a plasma TV, etc.

Telling people what to do with their resources is central planning, and it has never worked.

Well, there is an economic incentive - "salary". If you're not interested in it, may be it's time to move on as time is your own most valuable asset and choosing to waste it on "free ride" - it's something beyond my comprehension: you're literally waiting to be exposed and fired.

note: the org is not large, just 250 ppl or so.

Sure, you can do. You can question wtf policy-makers are doing. instead, you question individuals decision (aka "how dare you") that are well within current laws.

You're mixing two things together: * something that's illegal (dumping used oil into a river) * and something that's perfectly legal (buying oil)

You buy electricity and it's yours to decide how to use it. i.e. heat up your house or mine crypto.

yeap long covid

Sorry, mate, but it sounds like one.

Such lectures are better to conduct somewhere in ultra-luxury resorts, (flying in private jet of course), to decide what "plebs" are allowed to.

Just a couple examples of hypocrisy. 1. COP28 in Dubai (2023): The 28th UN Climate Change Conference saw approximately 644 private flights associated with the event, resulting in around 4,800 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

2. World Economic Forum in Davos (2022): During this annual meeting, 1,040 private jets flew in and out of airports serving Davos, leading to a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years.

3. COP29 in Baku (2024): The 29th UN Climate Change Conference in Baku experienced a notable rise in private jet arrivals, with 65 private jets landing in the week leading up to the event, doubling the number from the previous year.

Yes, especially when effect is marginal like in this case.

Unfortunately, some people just love to count their neighbor’s expenses instead of minding their own business.

i would, especially if there is mobile ui on horizon (hotwire)

+ added ports and adapters (aka hexagonal architecture, there are many articles on how to do it in ror)

disclaimer: i work with ror since 2006 so i have a strong bias.
