People are arriving here out of desperation, not because they made a calculated choice.
"These challenges, together with the continued violence, insecurity, and poverty in the region, make it unlikely the policy changes will succeed in drastically cutting immigrant arrivals." https://x.com/sfrostenson/status/1009186143345303562
Even McConnell is brave enough to condemn concentration camps, but not brave enough for action.
“I support, and all of the members of the Republican conference support, a plan to keep families together while their immigration status is determined,” McConnell said.
Programming kata for kids in Python that I wrote. I got a whole 'nother 2 years before my younger son can do these, tho.

English has no word for the shame you feel when you realize that you can't eat this sandwich with your hands and you have to switch to knife and fork.
KATA: Your dresser drawer has n pairs of socks of x different colors. y have holes in them. There are also z bras, a hamster and several (a) of the kids toys. How many do you need to take out to get a matching pair?
It is dark. There may be a grue here.
IDEA: What you can do. Post data science & tech jobs ads for progressive orgs. As a twitter user, your followers list is pure gold.
The Koch brothers are crushing progressive across the country because they were able to hire more & better data scientists & techies.
There no way to break out of only the inner loop of a next loop in #python?

break # what?
Youtube thinks I'm a 3 year old into cooking & agile software development.
Republicans say that this policy of internment of children is awful. I thought they were running the country-- if they aren't, who is? https://x.com/mayauppaluru/status/1008521432362618880
Man, fascism, like real fascism, not rhetorical fascism, rising in the US, assisted by big companies with mostly good people in them. Only takes 1 Vice President at MS eager to make a sale to anyone & the whole brand takes a hit. (AWS has exposure here too) https://x.com/gleemie/status/1008551405743890432
At least 2/4297 of my followers are in Taiwan right now
Wikileaks seeks the total Annihilation of ... what, the US government? Does he understand it stays about 1/2 the same every time we get a new President? How about if Assange goes and annihilates his own country down under. https://x.com/josephfcox/status/993847776210571264
I just made the repository matthewdeanmartin/pick_three on GitHub https://ift.tt/2HSrQIl
The most successful people I've met:
1. Sleep all day
2. Are ignoring you
3. Eat from a bowl on the ground
4. Chase lasers
5. Wait motionless at the window
6. Are watching you
7. Keep their coats clean
8. Have something to say, over & over & over
9. Demand what you're having https://x.com/APompliano/status/1005784785954967552
# fair game pick 3 as weird bank
import random
def withdraw(amt=500):
history = []
while sum(history)<amt:
while random.randint(0, 1000) != 1:
history.append(-1)
history.append(999)
print(len(history), history)
while True:
withdraw()
So EV for this game is 1, but sometimes you don't end up $500 a head for 100,000 iterations. Sometimes it just hangs.

Speaking of Lotto, your odds of getting a job at Uber or Facebook. You're more likely to win an actual lotto. Uber & Facebook employ hardly anyone (directly)

Best practice for phone app notifications:
- Block all by default
- No way to enable until you make an appointment with app Developer
- Visits your home & presents a 30m PPT show to show how this creates value
- Developer pays you $10 per notif
- Criminal penalties on violations
I solved a programming problem while sleeping last night!
The implications are clear, I should be allowed to sleep on the job.

Nytimes re-does the "movie trailer" NSC made for the NoKo talks

Appears National Security Council did it in-house. If you can't get your boss to read, then I could see how this might get the boss's attention. All future briefs will be movie trailers.
This is creating a surprising amount of work for me today. https://x.com/TwitterAPI/status/1006635008692350977

"Alexa how long to get to Clarendon" (from Takoma) "It will take 7 hours 15 minutes"
The Alexa Test: We have strong AI when it starts to editorialize about traffic in DC.
"Save our Tips" is a bid by employers to keep paying waitstaff $3.33 an hour. What ever happened to a $15 minimum wage?
Tips are just a way for people to express unconscious bias about non-food service quality factors. Should be banned like civilized countries already have. https://x.com/thinkprogress/status/1006827305321353216
So get-out-the-vote could remedy this. We need like uber, but for getting people physically to the polls. https://x.com/MPayneCville/status/1006714867196354561
I can think of several restaurants that could fill pot holes with their food as a public service.
That was fun.

"Mr. Trump even suggested that North Korea could become a major tourist destination, almost exactly one year after an American tourist, Otto Warmbier, died of what appeared to be torture endured while in North Korean custody."
Mr. Trump’s one clear effort at humor...
“Getting a good picture everybody?” he said. “So we look nice and handsome and thin? Perfect.”
It was impossible to know whether the clenched look on Mr. Kim’s face was his reaction to the quip.♡ 0 ↻ 0

Whose idea was it to make you enter your active directory password into the printer every time you print or copy or scan a document?
Xerox, this was a stupid feature and you should feel bad about it. It is industrial sabotage.
