Yes the list is only about Actors, even Donald Trump is not in that list. Still an interesting list.

I had a look at the list you linked and was surprised to see the list pointing out Germans and Polish people so I looked a bit dealer.

The German guy was in the left party which is so small that they always have trouble to get over the 5℅ necessary to be in the Bundestag, so he has never been in any leading position. And even the nomination to become president failed. And even if he became a president, in Germany that is not a leading position, a president just represents a country like a King.

In Poland, for Lech Kaczyński (who was the president of Poland) the wikipedia article down not even mention his work as an actor. On IMDB 4 entries are there. He was voice acting for a animated movie as a 13 years old and this is the biggest of the movies he was involved. The next next is a documentary, so he is not acting. The next one is a special episode of a game show to which politicians have been invited as participants. So no acting here either.

The next from Poland Jarosław Kaczyński, the twin brother also only had the voice acting as a 13 years old and documentaries where he didn’t act listed on his IMDB page.

The third and last polish guy in the lis fits the description of a celebrity and politician in power, he was elected into parlament.

For Sweden nobody is listed. Same for South Korea. So from the countries I lived in my feeling that this doesn’t happen is supported by the list you linked.

But other Asian countries, god damn! The lists for India, the Philippines and so on are soooo long! I didn’t expect it. So it’s really different in different countries.

Yeah that is true, but I also did not claim that. Anyway I have a hard time finding any celebrity in office in the countries I lived in (Poland, Germany, Sweden, South Korea), doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen though, just that it looks to happen much less often.

I did not want to put in any judgment on how well celecreties do in office, it was just an observation that this doesn’t really seem to happen in other countries to this extend. But there instead mostly professional politicians or scientists like Angela Merkel run the show.

I see a pattern, it’s the people he watches for years on TV and likes who he puts into leading positions.

To be honest this seems in character for the USA, this is what the american people are often doing too, putting celebrities from movies and TV in charge of their country, case in point Reagan, Schwarzeneger and Trump.

The difference is the intent and the background behind it.

Sure for maximum mass adoption the computer can out-research any human and just find the blandest set of rules which cater to the highest percentage of the majority.

What it still will have a hard time doing, and I predict it will be for quite some time - probably until we have quantum computers - is to come up with a new way of doing poetry which is not just copying what humans did but better.

I think of AI like it’s China, they are super efficient in copeing things and gradually making them better and cheaper but the setup of their society makes it impossible to really innovate.

And yeah I’m saying that it’s the setup, because in Taiwan they are able to innovate at a much higher rate.

Why doesn’t he move to China?

Uhm it looks very odd, like you somehow have miniature wrists.

Nice, when they introduced the AppStore I was convinced that this would happen within a few years and as a developer I moved off Apple products and towards more open hardware and software. I was confused why - while they did it from the start on iOS - they kept allowing side-loading on their computers. In the end they just tried to cook the frog slowly so it wouldn’t jump out of the saucepan.

I was thinking of changing the gender after the fact but was to lazy to edit it.

There is a difference doing it on the farm where it’s only up to some hours old and from the shop where god knows how long it was sitting somewhere without refrigeration.

God would never use VPN, he has nothing to hide.

That a win for the whole health industry, think of all the people you will now need to treat of Polio, measles, tetanus and so on not to mentions all the grave diggers! This is a job creation machine! /s

Nobody wants JFK Jr in charge of their health, not even Trump and they knew it from the start. But good to see.

I always create a virtual environment for each project I run like that. This way you can have your own versions of packages for each project without them interfearing with each other. This is also what the error message sugests in the beginning, so if you have the time I would investigate it and learn about it: https://python.land/virtual-environments/virtualenv

Easy solution: make voting public like in communism! /s

And all it took was getting rid of us.

For 10k rows you should probably use a real database anyway ;)

I use office 360 in the browser.
I’m not a typical sysadmin but I use linux anyway. Somehow I always found some workarounds, but I am also not the only one using Linux in our company so the IT needs to work with us to some degree.
