>They don't seem to have the juice to pull a war with Russia off. My brother in Christ, Russia can’t even pull off a war with its much smaller neighbor who is using NATO’s scraps and hand-me-downs.

Care to provide any names, and some examples of how they were affected?

How would you experience racism and sexism in the workplace that is not targeted at you?

Genuinely curious, which product’s quality has been sacrificed at the altar of DEI? Could you name some?

The selection, nomination, and confirmation processes have certainly become significantly more ideologically-driven over time, so I would expect that to have an impact on the composition of the court and the way they make decisions.

Does the Supreme Court still make decisions based on legal principles or is it just a thin veneer for their political opinions? Genuinely asking because I’m not so sure these days.

Get ready for the goalposts to move again. You can never satisfy a proofster.

How are usernames like this allowed? Very on-brand btw

My suggestion is to load each row group individually, as they generally will be much smaller than your total file size. You can do this via pyarrow.ParquetFile.read_row_group. To truly optimize this for reading from s3 you could use fsspec’

So each time you do a cash-out refinance of your home, that should be taxed as income? You still own your house, you haven’t sold it, so why should you be taxed repeatedly on it?

by cycrutchfield 2y ago
Well yeah, loans aren’t income. Should people pay income tax when they receive a mortgage?

Huh? Artificial? A plot of land in Manhattan is worth more than a plot of land in the Sahara desert. Not surprising at all.

If people want to buy houses and not live in them, more power to them as long as they pay their property taxes. Housing is not a finite resource, more can simply be built as long as there is demand for it. At a policy level, we sure are spe

But in this case most housing is being utilized, either owner-occupied or rented.

Land is a finite resource, but buildings can be built up vertically. Unless your town looks like manhattan, land is not scarce for new housing.

Ah yes, the good old “The West made us do it!” defense.

OK, I’ll bite: why should you care about what other people own?
79.
by cycrutchfield 3y ago
Wait until you see the maintenance and heating costs for those castles, or any old building in general. The sticker price isn’t the whole story.

So you declare an entire field as BS and your basis of expertise is a high school class you took and a (probably underpaid and overworked) teacher who couldn’t satisfactorily answer your questions? Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

I’m surprised to hear that people have had some anxiety about charging when renting Teslas from Hertz. My experience was quite the opposite. Just use any supercharger and it bills to Hertz who bills to you. The hotel valet had EV charging a

If you rent a Tesla from Hertz you can just charge at any supercharger and it will charge to your final bill. It’s super easy, no friction whatsoever.

Use subtitles?

I think it will be a bit easier than you believe. The reason why it hasn’t been done yet is that there hasn’t been a compelling economic reason to do so.

Extra points on some stupid exam are supposed to make up for genocide/extrajudicial internment?

Let’s ask the Uyghurs about those legal privileges.

And you think that it would be impossible to train a model to avoid outputs that are substantially similar to training data?

So presumably when they fix that issue (which, if the text matches exactly, should be trivially easy) then would you accept that as a sufficient remedy?

I read a NYT article and publish a summary of facts that I learned: totally legit. Train a model on NYT text that outputs a summary of facts that it learned: OMG literally murder.

I don’t have time for a detailed response but I just wanted to make one point. > Their (outside investors) return is axiomatically the net loss to the community. This is false, it is not a zero-sum game. Just because an investor makes a
