USPS was ready to save 100,000s of lives & the idea was quashed.
"USPS leaders drafted a news release announcing plans to distribute 650 million masks nationwide, enough to offer five face coverings to every American household." https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/09/17/usps-trump-coronavirus-amazon-foia/?tidr=a_breakingnews
If you fall asleep during Inception, does that add another dream layer to the plot, or do you miss the movie?
"When 20s of COBOL programmers rushed to offer their services, the state governments blaming COBOL didn’t accept the help... it turned out the states didn’t really need it to begin with. ..., COBOL was an easy scapegoat in this crisis— what failed wasn’t the technology at all." https://x.com/internetrebecca/status/1306008685165117440

Less than a year left on my lease, top car picks:
- Hybrid RAV 4 (big)
- Hybrid Ford Escape (if it has enough trunk space)
- Hybrid Kia Niro (cheap & best mpg)
- Hybrid Corolla or Camry (cheap)
- Tesla (if I move to the suburbs & am actually driving)
Nice yaml document for you to execute on your brain.

Good news is that if we can get life from Venus here, life probably won't die out on Earth, at least not in the upper atmosphere.
mypy wants to say: "Expected <hand waving> Got <hand waving> *this*"
mypy says: Got "Union[str, int, None, datetime, None, date, None, List[Dict[str, str]], Dict[str, str], List[str], Dict[str, List[str]], Dict[str, List[Dict[str, Any]]]]"; expected "str"
Thinking about Dict[str, Any] vs Dict[str, (some dataclass)]
Seem too easy to use the former--the type *could* hold anything-- vs there is a rigid datatype and no one has thought through what it is.

I'm going to start ignoring those "GreatSchools" scores that Redfin uses. Something feels wrong about the data.

So after you get a monkey, do they do data work instinctively or do they need to be trained?
IDEA: patent, trademark and copyright " ", " " and " " and so on see if intellectual property law can cope with that.

I'm looking at houses & marveling at how expensive it is to live here. I'm surprised I'm not homeless.
The high school ratings are brutal. Almost all high schools are a mix of economic groups. I'd sort of like to just know how the non-poor kids are doing at a given high school. The rating system makes it look like all HS are wastelands.

How many dot-files do you have in the root of your project? (e.g. .gitignore, etc)
I got >20 dot files in each project folder & it just keeps going up. pyproject.toml & setup.cfg barely make a dent in reducing dot file proliferation.

The choice between automated tasks vs manual tasks is not minutes saved vs minutes worked, but between mistakes made. We just psychologically are uncomfortable admitting that we could ever make a mistake, so we imagine only minutes of labor saved matters.
Seems like there should be a calculation-intensive way to extract a collection of measures of central tendency from a dataset made up of n distributions. Mode counting is easy, but why not solve for median/average of each? https://x.com/mistersql/status/1302227002360037377

This literature & line of reasoning isn't grounded in economics. 90% of all meals at McDonalds were failures because people who don't know how to cook asked for crap food that could have been made better & got their crappy food. https://x.com/greggish/status/1299392863596208128
The point is, if there is a value judgment going on, it is just going to say something about the people who made the value judgment. I'd guess, 10% of projects go entirely to the trash, 10% of projects go to the trash prematurely, 10% of the code written for all projects is trash
