Yes it is affordable if one raises their kids in an environment without running water or reliable electricity or healthcare. Those places have the highest infant mortality rates in the world and you can't compare their viability of child rearing to that of a first world.

"If one has no stake in the capitalist system, then one may well turn against it."

This is normal english.

I think it's much healthier to spend time playing video games, watching netflix/youtube, than on social media.

Better yet, use the NWS climate outlook, based on actual science: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/

They do detailed scoring of their predictions and it's based on rigorous physical modeling (navier stokes) so they know that it's better than chance. FA hasn't held up well to such scrutiny.


For Europe, use ECMWF, they provide great data: https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts

Does something like this exist for weather prediction worldwide?

Sadly it would never work for the British Isles, that much I can guarantee you. Our weather resists all forms of prediction found to be reliable elsewhere, and I doubt AI enhancements over the next few years will make much of a dent in the problem.

I’ve tried all manner of weather services and none of them really do a really good job of any level of forecasting. They do however excel at supplying me with information I can get just by looking out the window.


I don't think gellman amnesia is really a material issue. Carmack is indubitably an expert in his field, but that doesn't mean he's an expert in every field (like aerospace or AI). I'm an expert in some things, but I've probably said some stupid shit in other fields where I dabble such as cooking, playing music, raising cats.

Does anyone have any real naming conventions, patterns for doing this in ds programming in notebooks? I've got a bad habit of doing:

  df = pd.read_excel()
  df = df.drop_duplicates.blahblah_other_chained_functions()
  [20 cells later]
  df = df.even_more_fns()

Each can is almost 2 lb. You are ready for this?

NYTimes in 4 days: "Analysts mention that the radical forestry has military applications for Chinese forces training for a potential Western European conflict."

How much is "freedom" worth to you? Do you think your average homeless person in San Francisco would be worse off with free healthcare, housing, and no right to vote?
