In talks, in hallways, and at the expo (i.e., company booths), I'd say adherence was at least 90 percent. But whenever there was a chance to take the mask off, people did. If there was food around, people immediately ditched the masks

I have something of a following (newsletters, social media), gave two talks at PyCon, and even had a booth advertising my training services. So at the risk of sounding like a total egomaniac just for responding, let me say a few things: 1.

I think we can all agree that masking is super annoying. We can also agree that if everyone were to mask 100% of the time, then we would be in a safer world, with less spread of disease. But we all live with some level of risk. Keeping the

Kit! Your post is great! And I enjoyed getting to know you at the PyLadies auction, too. PyCon is overwhelming and delightful in every way -- and it just gets more so every time I attend. That said, you managed to see a ton of amazing stuff

All talks are put on YouTube (unless the speaker specifically opted out of recording), but it usually takes 2-3 months for them to be put up.

I've been using Jupyter to teach Python and Pandas to a lot of companies over the years, and Noteable made it so much nicer and easier. I'm very sad to see them shutting down, but I have to assume they would have kept going if the

Exactly, no one was asking for a random Meta employee to change things. Rather, three different people filed tickets through an established internal system, and were told that no, there was no way to undo this change.

Actually, I saw that I was banned, and thought, "OK, I'll deal with this another time." I hadn't heard horror stories. I didn't know that there was any such thing as a lifetime ban. It never occurred to me that if I

I hadn't advertised in several years. I noticed the ban, and then didn't do anything about it for one year.

Wow, what a fantastic example.

I'm so delighted to hear it! Thanks for letting me know.

I have no idea which ad caused me trouble, or when. The ban happened in June 2022, and I noticed it in July 2023. The most recent ads I ran were probably 2-3 years previous to that, and to the best of my recollection, they used videos of me

I think that any images I used came from their approved list of stock photos.

Yeah, it's totally my fault that I didn't jump right away to find out why I had been banned from an advertising platform, when I'm running a one-person business and hadn't been advertising for several years.
54.
by reuven 3y ago
I don't think that I have any of the ads around any more. But please believe me when I say that they are extremely innocent, nerdy ads promoting my courses on Python and Pandas. Nothing weird or illegal in the slightest.

by reuven 3y ago
I'd say that both are true.

by reuven 3y ago
The last ads that I created were 2-3 years ago. Some were advertising my paid courses on Python and Pandas. Others were advertising my free courses about regular expressions. Still others were advertising my mailing list. None of this comes

I'm so jealous! I was supposed to be there (and give two talks), but had to cancel at the last moment. Sigh. I hope to attend next year.

Thanks so much -- I know that lots of things about my YouTube channel need to change in order for me to rack up more views. I'm slowly (very slowly!) making those adjustments, but as a one-person business, all of these things take time

I doubt it, but it's a fascinating idea.

One of the Meta employees suggested that I create a new business account. Except that I can't do that, because my personal account has been banned for life, as has any business account created through it. So I could create a new accoun
