Excellent point. As I've commented elsewhere, there is a Puritanical, moralistic urge in many climate activists that focuses on as many individuals as possible changing their consumption habits for small gains over targeting the super

Unfortunately, American politicians that claim to care about CO2 are tremendously hypocritical the minute prices come into play. They are happy to do things like halt the construction of pipelines or put a halt on new oil/gas leases o

The confidence with which you assert "systemic racism" as being the key factor causing Black kids to be overrepresented in poor communities is fascinating. Historical racism, which was woven into law, is the actual reason for this

The SAT is an extremely high predictor for IQ. It correlates incredibly well. I grew up in a trailer park, and didn't have access to the test prep industry, so I understand that wealthier kids had a big edge. That being said, nobody

All of this revolves around a selective assumption that a disproportionate outcome (if the outcome isn't favorable to a group with a large activist base in US universities) is evidence of discrimination. Note that I say "selectiv

The whole "legal to retail it, illegal to produce/grow it" is the dumbest example of a policy I've seen, and it's shocking to me that such a progressive country has such a backwards policy. Amazingly, it makes the

Well said. Anecdotally, the level of resentment I've seen from masters CS grads towards more talented coders with no degree was pretty epic at my last company. I've also seen this get pretty ugly in the ML/deep learning comm

I grew up in a predominantly black county, and most of this comment regarding racism being a constant source of stress is absolute hogwash, with zero evidence cited. Not unlike the myth that significant percentages of black Americans are u

I deeply resent the constant conflation of ethnic minorities and problems that afflict people who are impoverished. Here in the United States a plurality of the people who live below the poverty line are white. And numerous ethnic minoriti

There is most definitely an unwinnable war between simplicity/ease-of-use and more power/customizability. That being said, Alteryx is an example of a company that has made a ton of money via a data munging tool that is a visual pr

You may need gatekeepers to feel safe in life. Feel free to find a safe, walled garden for yourself. The rest of us live in reality, and recognize that organizations of human beings have always been subject to groupthink and have suppresse

This comment clearly shows an absolute blatant ignorance of anything to do with North Korea. I would recommend that you educate yourself on what North Korea actually is and how deeply oppressive it is. Anyone in North Korea who has access t

I quit the company and the team as a result of the bosses refusing to make their pet data scientists write remotely professional code. I was more experienced with predictive algorithms and deep learning than any of the data scientists at th

Engaging in teaching these kinds of skills in a nation like North Korea is inherently aiding the state and continuing the oppression of its people. You are completely correct about your suspicion about primarily furthering the objectives of

Curious, but how does pydantic compare to marshmallow? I'm currently using marshmallow in a project, specifically using the functionality that builds parsers from dataclasses. I was curious what the differences were.

It's an immediate tell when someone makes statements like the one you're replying to. It immediately tells me that they've never worked on large software projects, and if they have they haven't worked on ones that lasted

I've worked with plenty of coders who talk about how awesome their code is even though they just write unit test as an afterthought. They also talk about how they don't need validation and everything is just awesome. I hated work

Ah yes, cue the moralizing about how selfishness and greed are the root of all issues. Replace profit with Satan and you sound like a televangelist.

They are catching up, but currently the VW and other EVs, with the exception of Porsche, are pretty inferior. (A notable exception is Hyundai's Ioniq5, which is very impressive). My biggest concern with other auto manufacturers EV pro

That article you linked to isn't saying what you think it is. I specifically would like to see the superchargers opened up to all vehicles as well, but the details of the article state that they are only doing this in very select locat

I don't disagree with you, but the common retort I hear to this sentiment is that "they aren't a car company, they are a battery/energy storage company that currently sells cars". What are your thoughts on that sent

As a recent owner of a model 3, I've been blown away by the charging infrastructure advantage. The non-Tesla chargers near me in Colorado are just plain garbage. Sometimes, they work great, but other days I go back and the terminal wo

I am also a father and I had to stomp out my son's video game addiction. Frankly I don't think it's a major victory for a 28-year-old to have been gainfully employed for a year and still be a loner. Being an introvert is one

Stomping out my son's fortnite and overwatch addiction was obnoxiously difficult probably because of the stupid loot box and skin phenomenon. He was failing out of school and had lost interest in sports. I put all of his Xbox controll

I'm glad you responded because the person you were responded to exhibits typical thought patterns on addiction that I'm sure you are as frustrated by as I am. People don't seem to understand that drugs like cocaine flood the
