Yeah, I'm not a lawyer and don't understand 100% of 0.6% being an issue. Copyright holders get to eat their cake and keep it too. Journalists can record and publish phone calls verbatim (Swatch Grp. Mgmt. Servs. Ltd. v. Bloomberg

Their API is absolute garbage. Search is incomplete and streaming consumes GBs/hour even when you're getting no results.

Seeing as encryption is illegal in China, I don't think they will need to give up any keys.

Undecidability means loading your configuration could never complete or could consume an indeterminate amount of resources. Which means it's a security concern as a bad config can DOS your system. This type of attack exists even withou

So made up stuff has more value than heard earned truths? That's a really weird result.

Absolutely not. Turing-complete functions are subject to Rice's Theorem - meaning that they are undecidable in the general case. Also, if it's Turing-complete then anyone can make a ridiculous mess of an area with little or no too

I think everyone agrees that when they want to do some data analysis they pip install numpy and get to work. It's only the navel gazers who are concerned about cpythons performance instead of treating python as a 'race to C'
