The median is $50 and the 95th percentile is $200 so it's mostly small donations with a few (22) donations over 5K. Plus the one 215K whale.

There was a moment in time that the hacked site redirected to a page with the data and an embedded YouTube video.

I see what you're saying about typing. As for the reasonably long chains of default initialization code. Well now its in the definition. You could have functions with more code defining the parameters than in body.

My immediate response to this is: WTF. Why not just do `l = len(x) if l is None else l`? With the new syntax can you define defaults computed from other defaults? What about side effects? Why is computation happening in function args at all

I remember a conspiracy theory that you could find out if your phone was tapped by not paying the bill. If the line still worked after you were delinquent, someone else was listening on it.

Its not possible to make an app that actually does this on Android due to permissions; but sometimes I day dream of an app that automatically shifts your phones time using the current GPS location. Not by which timezone you are in, but by w

Every single store that asks if you want a digital receipt in lieu of paper, is doing this. Every single store that gives you coupons in exchange for your your email, is doing this.

I wonder how many years that sets back the field. Who will want to invest in something that could end up being Watson 2.0?

I've had a couple of dreams where I'm chopping up lines even though its been almost a decade since I've done hard drugs. The dreams were very disorienting because they never go further than the prep before suddenly waking up.

If you consider each letter+accent combination as distinct, it is the same as having standardized pronunciation for each symbol?

This reminds me of a coworker who recently immigrated from Brazil asking about the pronunciations of some English words and being astonished that we don't just use accents to differentiate it. Like, just use accents. No more ambiguity

I had a CS/Math course that used this textbook. It was excellent!

House (if you have a mortgage) and car insurance are not optional. The bet you'd be making by not having them has much higher stakes.

There are a lot of low skilled jobs in a service economy. I imagine that a significant fraction of all jobs are low skilled ones. Not everyone is chasing the hustle or whatever either, so there's a significant amount of people will be

The impression I get of Shopify is that they hire more than they need and churn out the less successful in the first year. This is only a second hand observation though since I don't work there.

Well the outrage-o-verse is leaking into reality with wingnuts occupying the capital of my country, waving confederate and trump 2024 flags to boot.

Agreed. Also right wing extremism fueled and amplified by the internet. It's sort of technical problem, right?

Regression towards the mean of corporate America. The first couple decades were extraordinary but it wasn't going to last.

The source linked to by the wiki article talks about the first batch of laser link satellites being launched but doesn't really go into much depth about it. Does this mean they're wrapping up the testing phase? It would be cool to

Well I don't personally have a horse in that race. I'd definitely be interested in seeing the results for a regional Canadian poll though.

Seconded! Toronto, Waterloo, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver are all large and distinct tech hubs.

I know at least one North American city where nearly every tree within a decent distance was chopped down and used as fuel which certainly contributed to the spartan appearance.

Its already frustrating enough having to use Facebook just to look up a restaurant's information, the set times for a concert, or whatever about a local business or event. If all that stuff starts to disappear behind a meta-verse wall,

I've started leaving my phone on silent and sitting on my kitchen table while I'm working. Just having it within arms reach at my desk has become too much at times. The lack of focus wasn't nearly this bad at the beginning of

Was it really the bitcoin giveaway scams that instigated this, and not events like the Christchurch terror attack that was live streamed?

Verbal ads during navigation?! I haven't really been driving anywhere new since covid started so I must have missed it. What are they like? "Take the next exit for a delicious Big Mac!"
