Note this is probably a false dilemma. According to Brazilian federal police, the recent deforestation surge is caused by illegal logging, not agriculture or cattle raising. Source in Portuguese: https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/nacional/pf-grilagem-e-madeira-...

Brazil had no trouble to grow in 90s and 2000s while reducing Amazon deforestation.

Not a full featured framework, but pytorch-metric-learning has data loaders, lossess, etc. to facilitate similarity learning: https://github.com/KevinMusgrave/pytorch-metric-learning

Disclaimer: I've made some contributions to it.

Sorry, thought you're asking about pro-life positions.

Plenty of discussion about that on contemporary philosophy. You should just search a bit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Defense_of_Abortion

Besides the awful UI, it missed several key third-party apps that Android and iOS had. Also the GMail integration was pretty bad.

The EDX platform is open-source, it's a complex Django project: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform

The article states: "you might consider a small amount of happiness for someone who is depressed to have more moral value than a larger amount of happiness for someone who is already fairly happy". For me this looks like the prospect theory curve: the depressed friend is at a loss, so you assign greater value to their happiness gains, regardless of the real utility.

Yes, survivorship bias too.

And lack of knowledge about Prospect Theory.

Exactly, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

"Reading the OpenAI GPT-3 paper. Impressive performance on many few-shot language tasks. The cost to train this 175 billion parameter language model appears to be staggering: Nearly $12 million dollars in compute based on public cloud GPU/TPU cost models (200x the price of GPT-2)"

ok, but is there any other kind of pneumonia that can spread to the whole humanity in months? sincere question

Ended up looking a lot like Bootstrap to me.

I agree. But without tools, marketing, lobbying, policy-making, etc., it's hard to make lasting changes.

It would be motivating to know cases where "everyone can act now by themselves" really worked. I don't know any. Big change usually happens through organizations lobbying for something. Organization is the keyword here. Individual change rarely makes a difference if not organized.

What this has to do with a business being family-owned or not?

how so?

Hi folks, I'm Flávio from Vinta. Someone posted this before we made it almost-static and therefore HN-ready, so sorry for the issues! We were planning to launch it with more checklists and a better backend. For now, in case you face issues, please try the original markdown versions on GitHub:

those and brain needle and green storm work for me too.

I guess that Turbolinks is used by Basecamp 2 and it sucks a lot. Search takes seconds to load for me, without any loading feedback.

Smuggled tobacco is at most 30% of Brazilian market. Was 16% before 2011. If we had 70% of legalized marijuana, we would be much better.

For the 1% use cases, expect forks. For 19%, give them options. For 80%, give them good defaults.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will add that to the checklist. Feel free to contribute too: https://github.com/vintasoftware/python-api-checklist

Author here. Thanks for the feedback. I wrote this because I've seen too many APIs I couldn't use or had to discard later on because they forgot to expose a lower-level parameter. Yes, supporting additional parameters is a trade-off on stability, but I think it boils down to separating things that change frequently from things that shouldn't change, i.e., having a low-level interface and a high-level interface on the same API. Advanced users that work with internal parameters should know they're on unstable territory. Document that to acknowledge them about the risk. They'll have the flexibility they need knowing about the cost. I guess that if you don't do that, you'll lose users for an API that does.

You don't need to expose each internal parameter or write adapters to everything you use. As suggested by the sibling here, sometimes all you need is to pass down kwargs to the low-level call.

Other API guidelines that suggest a similar approach here:

Author here. Not worthless because you can add checklists to your PR template, PR review, QA process, etc. But I agree that automatically checking things is the next step. I've talked about how to achieve this with custom linters in a DjangoCon talk: https://youtu.be/IMRHFlDxaqU
