Facebook was the same. A company would hand them a token for a visitor that went to their site like say Amazon. They then tell Facebook if you see that visitor token show them an ad for this vacuum cleaner. No information ever traded hands except some anonymous id and money.

But I have had places actually sell my information. Comcast Various Banks The State of California

I had a weird last name attached to Comcast never used it anywhere elae. Started getting mail from various companies for Rev WeirdLastname

I registered an LLC, all these compliance companies now send me mail. Thanks California

Tech companies not so much they just target ads and I can block those

Yeah I heard that argument from the “right” and “left” yeah people would gamble all their money away then what.

Its basic income, if you want more go produce something. But we should treat people like adults and stop treating them like children.

i’m not buying it. Sure he could be a confederate apologist but if you are writing a song about some rich old dudes in DC screwing the rest of us over its some hard rhymes. When I heard the song he pronounced the word “rich men” and “richmond” nearly identically. I was like what does “rich men north of rich men” mean, then later I heard “richmond north of richmond”

Looking at the lyrics he was complaining that we have people in the streets with no food to eat while there are obese people getting fat on welfare. Sounds like he thinks government is incompetent.

I saw a stat years ago that if we took all the money we spent each year on welfare and just gave the people those programs were trying to help straight cash we would have 5x the amount needed to push them all over the poverty line.

But disposal/storage of waste is baked in to the cost of nuclear. The economics of solar and wind don’t include those which is why we have windmill trash heaps

IMHO programs don’t belong on pypi only libraries. Its a waste of namespace.

Explicit is better than implicit, read the zen of python(its short). Don’t be too magical. Don’t reach for a class if you have no state. Watch some jackdied talks from old pycons. You don’t need custom exceptions the stdlib has plenty. Also if its not documented don’t use it. Don’t use star imports.

Black just use it don’t fight it, don’t waste brain space with formatting rules. “You can have any formatter you want as long as its black”. Use default black settings. People who don’t are heretics :P

sys.path or PYTHONPATH is how imports are resolved. Much like shells looking for binaries. IMHO you should never adjust either. The current directory is always added to sys.path. but beyond that directories are packages. Use __init__.py when you want to provide a module for what happens when you import a package.

python3.11 -m venv .venv

This is how you should create your venv. After that activate it and use pip. You should setup a requirements.txt for your project, then you can use pip -r to configure your env. Global install of third-party libraries is always a bad idea in practice. Version constraints make that almost impossible these days.

I use this method. When I have new people joining me for a smoke, I teach them this way. I don't always have access to cedar strips for lighting though.

I grew up in the south Louisiana to be specific. The confederate flag was not as ubiquitous as some seem to believe. Sure you would some times see a redneck driving a lifted truck with a confederate bumper sticker but it wasn’t the norm. Truck nuts and american flags were way more popular. But rednecks don’t make up a majority of the south.

Hell I saw a confederate flag sticker on the back window of a truck in California recently, sure its in the rural parts but its the first time I had seen one in real life in a long while. And we visit family in two Louisiana cities every year.

The south doesn’t own racism as a concept its a stereotype.
