In my experience, it would take a year to ingest it natively, and two years to also ingest enough coding examples.

The speedup you claim is going to be contingent on how you use Pandas, with which data types, and which version of Pandas.

It is a stepping stone to writing an entire feature rich operating system thereafter, if only a virtual one.

Walking as a profession absolutely is dead. Unless you're a dog walker, you don't get paid just to walk something from A to B. Coding as a profession can similarly reach its end. Coding is not dead, but don't expect to get paid for it. Don't be the one in denial because your paycheck depends on preaching denial.

https://www.phreeli.com/ lets people use phones without revealing identity.

Not sure what the point of the service is. Given that it's more expensive than other MVNOs, and isn't even more private. You can still buy prepaid SIMs in store with cash, so it's harder to get more private than that. Not to mention this company asks for your zip+4 code (which identifies down to a specific street), and information for E-911. It's basically like Trump Mobile but for people who care about "privacy".

Can prepaid eSIMs be used anonymously?

Yes, but it's harder than just buying an esim from silent.link (or whatever) and installing it. The biggest issue is that phones have IMEIs that you can't change, so even with an esim you bought "anonymously", that won't do you any good if you install it to your iPhone that's linked to you in some way, eg. bought in Apple store with your credit card, inserted another SIM/esim that has your billing information, or simply the phone has pinged cell towers near your home/work for an extended amount of time.

For max privacy, remember to buy the phone anonymously as well. Be cognizant of links to non-anonymous IPs, emails, and identities.

I was unaware that you could buy a SIM with cash and no private data collected. I thought they had KYC laws like prepaid cash cards.

>I thought they had KYC laws like prepaid cash cards.

You don't. You could even order sim cards off ebay/amazon if you wanted to, which definitely doesn't have any KYC.


Clearly there is no point in it for you. The stores would ID you. As for the nine digit zip, I don't think they validate it. Your anti-privacy agenda is crystal clear.

>The stores would ID you

Source?

>As for the nine digit zip, I don't think they validate it.

Why collect it then? Imagine having a service promising "lets people use phones without revealing identity" but for whatever reason asks for a bunch of info, then brushes it aside with "yeah but you can fill in fake information so it's fine".

>Your anti-privacy agenda is crystal clear.

Your inability to take any criticism without resorting to personal attacks is crystal clear.


The answer to that question is so obvious that anyone raising it must necessarily be doing it in extremely bad faith. It's because the government mandates 911 service, and that the 911 service must be given the user's primary "location" when required. Your "criticism" is hereby redirected at yourself.

It's cheapest for the employer to keep it in India itself.

> Crapping something out as quickly as possible and leaving others to deal with the fallout of a bad data model and chaotic on-call isn't something to be rewarded but it's how many companies seem to work.

Engineers who do this leave nothing but ashes in their wake even if they keep getting promoted for it.


A future administration absolutely can and should prosecute every single ICE employee.

Dissolve it and DHS. Investigate every single ERO agent and prosecute those that meet the bar. Bar all of them from future public service. Prosecute agency heads.

They're all getting pardoned.

Federal pardons only work for federal charges, which murder isn't.

A future administration cold, but won't, choose to ignore the law about parsons just like this one is ignoring the law about murder and torture.


I believe they will try to use removal to get it into federal courts.

Does removal let a federal pardon apply to a state crime, even if it's tried in federal court?

Good question. I suppose Trump doesn't much care, he already attempted to pardon that lady who gave balloting material to Mike Pillow. He'll just go issue the pardons and let the courts sort it out.

Or he could have the DOJ charge all of ICE, get the cases removed to federal court, then do an Eric Adams job on them. That'd be a sight to behold.


Are pardons issued by a felon actually valid? It is for a future court to decide in a subsequent administration.

Unfortunately as long as that felon was elected president, yes.

The odds of that happening are zero.

Yes, but they might not stop the states from prosecuting them.

It or its variants probably contains PFAS which probably makes it hazardous to spray. Also, I suspect that breathing its ambient vapor while spraying it is is bad for the body and brain.

Canola oil works in practice for basic tasks, but requires routine reapplication.


WD-40 classic does not contain PFAS. Which is not to say you should breath it in.

> Canola oil works super well in practice without any of these risks.

I cannot advise enough against using canola oil for most lubrication purposes. It's biodegradable and will break down (good for some applications) but for the most part oil breaking down is a bad thing if you want to keep something well maintained. It would gum up over time, start reacting chemically with dust or other chemicals, and potentially even cause damage. Especially if you lubricate to prevent rust.

Also, in the context of breaking loose bolts, oil alone doesn't have any capacity to break up or penetrate rust.


canola is good for lubricating your paper shredder and very little else.

I have used it on doors for years with zero trouble. Granted, I have to reapply every four months. It is infinitely safer than the toxic brew that is WD40.

Do not use canola oil for most lubrication tasks. You should almost always be using lithium grease.

Spray on white lithium grease works for most "architectural" or furniture uses (ex: door hinges, gas springs on chairs, garage door rails and chain, etc).

For anything constantly moving (ex: gearboxes or bearings) you want a more viscous lithium grease (ex: red n tacky or lucas xtra/green).

But in pretty much every situation (on land) you want to be using a form of lithium grease if you want to actually keep the interface lubricated.


Thanks. Is that better than silicone?

Depends on your use case. White lithium is better for metal on metal and silicone works better for plastic and rubber applications

It is, but it also stains forever anything it touches.

> Canola oil works in practice for basic tasks

From childhood experience, thinking all oils were the same, absolutely not. It goes rancid and gums up after some time.
