I could be wrong but I thought rate of decay was a logarithmic function, not exponential.

Well in the medieval textbooks it was a valid strategy…

But this is horrific and along the lines of torture. Genocide and death by forced starvation are disgusting, despicable things that should not be happening in this modern era.

Netanyahu… or however you spell his name… will go down in history next to Hitler, sadly, and the Biden administration supporting this genocide is on the wrong side of history.

Even with all this said, I’m probably still voting for Biden in 2024. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Most likely. As an American cyclist myself, it sucks to have to share the road with vehicles. I’ve been harassed and hit multiple times and I know others who have as well.

That’s terrifying.

I watched that video, and while I agree that nuclear waste is safer than fossils fuels, there is still a non-zero risk to storing nuclear waste, especially if you consider how long it remains radioactive.

Would I prefer to live near a nuclear plant or a coal plant? definitely nuclear.

Wind, solar, and renewables are still cleaner than nuclear.

Also burying nuclear waste in what that video says:

[far away from] any geologically active area

With climate change we are seeing extreme weather events and earthquakes more frequently than expected. Who’s to say that areas which are currently not active won’t become active.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand renewables are not going to supply all the power we need right now. I realize that nuclear is the cleaner option (comprlared to fossils fuels).

However, I am still concerned about the nuclear waste. I’m glad they have tight security, and it’s good to know the barrels are missile resistant… But nothing is 100% safe. If a terrorist decides to make one of these sites a target, and they have enough money and influence, I’m sure it’s possible for them to penetrate security and penetrate those barrels.

Radiation levels are low around the barrels but if contamination occurs that would still be a disaster.

Privacy policies have become much more readable in my experience. I still feel like I’m the only one who reads them though.

That said… I think that companies that won’t allow you to use their app without consenting to your data being sold are scum of the earth.

The problem with nuclear is nuclear waste. Nuclear waste is stored in barrels in caves and buried. It remains radioactive for thousands of years. By creating nuclear waste we are forcing 100 generations after us to live with this nuclear waste. I don’t know all the details but they say it’s “safe.”

Hard to believe how safe something can be from an inconvenient earthquake or terrorist attack.

Yeah I agree. I’m always shocked to hear about conservative women, like Moms for Liberty, etc.

How can anyone take that platform seriously?

It really sucks to be the kid of negligent anti vax parent in situations like these.

There should be a resource (I’m sure there probably is) for kids to get vaxxed without their parents’ knowledge.

Sad thing is though that a large portion of those kids can’t reason passed the brainwashing from their looneytune parents and won’t take advantage of those resources.

Murphy’s law says it will happen.

Yeah people are paying attention they love it. And the rest of us are paying attention and are disgusted.

The only people not paying attention are the Republican voters who don’t care who the candidate is and just vote Red no matter what.

I didn’t see anything that said they would walk back policy.

Well China just hacked away at billions in profits from game Dev companies so I disagree with this statement in the context of China and the video game industry.

Doesn’t the NSA violate the rights is all Americans anyway?

Hahahahaha

Pay to win ruined everything… I remember when I discovered I could purchase all the godly gear (diablo ii LoD) I wanted for like $10USD back as a kid.

It really made me reevaluate how much time I’ve been putting into the game to grind out my character. It took a lot of the pleasure and meaning out of all the time and energy I had put in.

Now… Diablo II was not designed for this… This was against the Blizzard terms… But still applies.

All this pay to win stuff on video games is terrible and really evil. Loot boxes are like putting slot machines on children’s playgrounds…

Yeah the “free market” will work itself out /s

USA is facing a similar problem with boomers retiring.

In that case you can iterate over the rows instead of using apply()

Test it out and see if it’s more efficient.

Also, you can improve performance by only passing the required columns to apply()

df['c'] = df[['a','b']].apply(function, axis=1)

Actually this seems like a better solution for you.

Here’s another approach, I like this one more because it is a closer match to the problem you described.

Check the result_type=expand argument for df.apply()

This is a huge step in the right direction… All these post docs funding their research with federal grants then when they discover/create a successful drug they price it as if they funded the research themselves.
