As an American, can’t say I’m too worried about Canadian opinion of us, let alone Denmark. Most Americans don’t know the name of a single politician in Denmark.

Maybe you should be. You might need them one day.

Ignorance is nothing to be proud of.


Why would we need to know that? I spend my time focusing on important things and Danish government or opinion isn’t one of them.

As a non-American, it’s attitudes like yours, quite widespread actually, that make me rejoice this moment in history where the US is taken down a peg or two.

It’s not gonna be nice and fun for anybody, but it’s time to learn that you guys are just one country in a whole world, and you need friends to thrive. The ignorant bully attitude has run its course.


No American I know except for far leftists feel like they’ve been knocked down at all. Seriously not worried about your opinion at all - never crosses my mind. I’d worry way more about China than Canada or Europe (or any of their colonies).

Most Americans also dont know that most of the world is laughing at us. Americans are oblivious by choice cuz we pretty eagerly consume misinformation, always have. We love our alternate histories that make us feel superior.

Looks great, do for Polars next!!

Came here to say the same. We use Pandas now only when forced, Polars and DuckDB are the future.

Made this as well for polars: https://machinelearningplus.com/python/101-polars-exercises-...

I was thinking about it for quite a while, but not sure if there would be interest. Thanks for your comment!


Ive used it but definitely ran into issues where Ibis couldnt handle a transformation and had to move back into Polars or DuckDB to do. I just eventually stripped it out.

This is a really key point - it’s already working fine elsewhere.

Agreed - not sure why this nonsense is here.

Maybe some people disagree with governments interfering with this - not saying that’s how I feel but that could be the downvote reason.

Your explanation seems reasonable.


I remember trying to set up a bbs on my pc in the 80s and I didn’t have a separate phone line so I just put it on while I slept. Then people started calling and annoying my parents with daytime modem calls, because I was like 10 and I didn’t think through any of this.

I set up a uh war dialer around the same age over night and my mom got some pretty upset calls the next day.

She had no idea who these people were or why they were upset. I don’t think I copped to it, it was not an easy thing to explain but I did not do that again.


Even if I know who, why would I ever give that information to the court?

Let's say your friend borrow your car and drives through a red light. You don't have to tell the court that it was them, but as the car owner you'll be held responsible for what the car was used for if you don't.

It seems like that is not the case in Florida according to this judge.

it's not true anywhere in america, at the very least.

I agree that's likely true but I'm not sure if there are any jurisdictions finding things differently? I'm not aware of any rulings from appeals courts with broader jurisdiction but I imagine if they don't exist they will soon.

here's the thing about that: it's absolutely not true at all. once again, in the place where this ruling took place (and, therefore, the place we're talking about) the people who accuse you of a crime have to prove that it was definitely you that did it. an accusation doesn't put the burden of proof on you to prove that you didn't, or to find who actually did. this isn't a phoenix wright game, or an argument with your mom. if the state can't prove that it was you, then it wasn't.

Because you'll be paying the fine if you don't.

Yep - and if you have an opinion on one particular side that isn’t favored here, it gets flagged.
