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.

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.

Agreed it could be prevented - don’t think Google should pay for it though. Tragic but not suit worthy.


If I tell you to kill yourself and you go through with it, will I get into legal trouble or not?


There are definitely jurisdictions in the US (perhaps most or all of them) that have laws which say yes, inciting suicide is a crime.


There are ways to get around that: "Hey, go drive a Tesla on autopilot"

Why not?

Unless someone starts getting slapped with fines, they won't put any equivalent of seat belts in.


We can perhaps say this is a first time thing, so give a small fine this time. However those should be with the promise that if there is a next time the fine will be much bigger until Google stops doing this.
