That bunch of idiots are the ones who control the tanks, artillery, planes, and funding for infrastructure that is required to keep nuclear plants from melting down

We just had a failed insurrection four years ago, wtf are you doing pretending like this can’t happen

Nuclear power relies on stable, safe, and advanced nations not like, I dunno, starting a land war in Europe that threatens to flood the continent with fallout.

Oh so it’s not meant to be quantitative but instead is meant as “most” to “almost everyone.” Makes sense, I thought he was doing the math and I was very confused lol

Not that I disagree but can someone explain how one congressperson losing takes the percentage control from 85-90% to 98%…?

Definitely chaotic.

This sounds kind of like a data warehouse. Depending on the size of the data and number of connections I’d say script or database or module, this is a much bigger problem. Look into dbt (data build tool) and airflow

If they are checking data brokers or aggregators it’s not really a background check. Carefully read any consent you give for a potential employer to perform a background check. Look for the records they are accessing and make a determination based on that language.

It is possible that some vendor is the space incorporates data brokers into their service, and that’s hard to tell. But they still should ask for your consent, I believe.

I am a little curious about the conditional. I have a suspicion that this is a bit of over engineering.

The problem you seem to be trying to solve is “I need to access the same data in multiple ways, places, or projects.” That’s what a database is really great for. However, if you just need to combine the same csv files you have on disk over and over, why not combine them and dump the output to a csv? Next time you need it, just load the combined csv. FWIW this is loosely what SQLite is doing.

If you are defining a method or function that performs these ETL operations over and over, and the underlying data is not changing, I think updating your local files to be the desired content and format is actually what you want.

If instead you’re trying to explore modules, imports, abstraction, writing DRY code, or other software development fundamentals- great! Play around, it’s a great way to learn how might also recommend picking up some books! Usually your local library has some books on Python development, object oriented programming, and data engineering basics that you might find fascinating (as I have)

Here “database” seems to mean a pandas dataframe. Sounds like you need to create a database using Postgres or sqlite or something similar, and recreate that database from a backup or database dump whenever you need it. You could host that database in the cloud or on your own network as well, if you need access remotely.

For instance see this pandas doc https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.to_sql.html

By definition supernatural miracles cannot be explained by science. That’s like their entire point.

You not understanding the scientific explanations for events and history is not the same as the only explanation for those events being your god.

There was not a world-wide flood that killed all creatures except a few dozen animals and a couple humans on a boat.

The earth is more than a few thousand years old.

Life as it exists today evolved over billions of years as a result of natural selection. It was not created over the course of a week.

A young man was not resurrected after being crucified.

Angels did not destroy Sodom with fiery meteors from heaven, and no woman was turned into a pillar of salt by an omnipotent (and benevolent!) god.

A young man did not cure leprosy, create bread and wine from nothing or transmute water into wine, walk on water, heal the blind, or otherwise use magic to cure illnesses.

I can go on.

Btw claiming that there are no objective morals is not the same claim as “Christianity objectively determines morality.” My claim is about whether an entire class of things - morals - are objectively determinable. Yours is that they are objectively determined by a specific book.
