justcola posted:Are we still getting £500 to spend at local shops or has that been doubled and gone to businesses. I'm guessing they meant 1k per employee - must be some fun conversations about 'where's my half then?' the £10 at restaurants (£130 if you go every day, £260 if lunch and dinner) is closer to a replacement for the floated £500 shopping vouchers. it exists to encourage people to get out and spend. furlough bonus is targeted for entirely different effect. to ease the number of redundancies from coming in a sudden great wave. limiting the spend to hospitality rather than the high st more generally makes me wonder something. if part of the calculation here is that high st shops aren't saveable. they've already lost the fight to internet shopping and aren't coming back. but hospitality - going out to socialise - isn't something you can buy off Amazon. hence targeting that sector to save.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:How have you formatted your horizontal axis?

I'm using Python's mathlib because I can just about makenumbers add up in a column in Excel and manipulating this much poorly-formatted data is giving it severe indigestions, this is pretty much a Hello World attempt as can be seen by the fact I forgot months have different amounts of days in them hence the occasional double-counts. Sorting out the formatting is next on the list once I pass the threshold of pasting random poo poo in from Stackoverflow until it works and actually understand what I'm doing.

jaete posted:Out of curiosity, what did you use to crawl all the threads? Is there a "standard" way of doing it or anything? I used Selenium and Chrome to do the actual crawling (so I could do it logged in and with ads blocked, as the ads slow everything down and I wanted to make sure to get all the swearwords), and BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML I actually did it in two steps, ripping all the pages to local copies then parsing them to build the csv, just so if I hosed something up I didn't have to leave it crawling overnight again. Being an experienced idiot certainly helps here. Pesky Splinter's list of historical threads (link in OP) provided the actual list of threads. I've now punted all the data into an SQLite database for ease of searching, but it's hella unoptimised at the moment (generating that graph takes about 10 minutes even though it's a really simple query) so I want to work on fixing that first. The more "correct" way to do the crawling would have been curl or Python's inbuilt libraries (that's what I used for my first project, something to replace the rather creaky Powershell script I was using to grab podcasts), but again life's too short.

gh0stpinballa posted:she joined islamic state didn't she So that's where a lot of the legal argument will lie. What does "joining IS" entail? It's not like there is a formal group with membership numbers and cards. And if there was, good luck finding said booms in Syria. Now even if they were able to do a reverse burden of proof (which to be fair does exist for offences under the OASA ) that she'd have to prove she wasnt a member, she has a very good arguable case which was she didn't know what going over to Syria would entail. And when she got there she didn't realise that you either marry an IS fighter and become his Jihadist bride, or you get shot. I also imagine that a lot of argument will turn on is there evidence that she was providing material assistance to IS (in the form of training recruits with secrets she learned in the Irish Army*) or was she just over there. * = I get the feeling this is a load of bollocks. No offense to our Defense Forces who do a good job not being a colonial army instead focusing on peace keeping. But I don't imagine they know any super secret martial arts that would destabilise the world if they got out.

Does Rishi Sunak model his way of speaking after Big Tech Wankers? Everytime he drops a "we're doing something no government has ever done before" or "what we're doing is unprecedented in modern times" I envision an alternate reality where he's on stage at E3 talking about Fable 4's real-time making GBS threads mechanics and how "no video game in history has ever attempted something so bold".

The Question IRL posted:So that's where a lot of the legal argument will lie. You might be surprised at the formal organisation of ISIS. I posted a couple of months ago links to documents that had been found in Al Qaeda locations with application forms, receipts from the local supermarket and all sorts. I know ISIS aren't the same as Al Qaeda but there's probably some sort of 'business school' organisation there. Irish Martial Arts: I'm surprised they use arms to be honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWKGLdS-IYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV7tb1Y6fAg (of course, they could just force enemies to watch Riverdance instead).

Spangly A posted:has anyone had the motivation to work out what the absolute best case outcome from the nec elections is, and what can actually be done with that? is labour now just centrist centralism: the party until a decent human being accidentally winds up leader again in 20 years? If the current circumstance continues forever we're not going to get another decent human as leader ever, not 20 years from now not 160 years from now. Corbyn was a historical fluke that arose from the right of the party wanting to reduce union influence and accidently empowering the membership, that mistake won't be made again. A supernaturally precient best case outcome for a good NEC result and what it could lead to is obviously impossible to predict, not sure what you're even asking for there honestly, but no-one here is an idiot, we know that surrendering Labour to the right means more pointless pain and makes the task of building socialism more difficult so who cares about that impossible data? What would the efficacy of it even be? loving vote for the leftiest loving slate available to hamper these disgusting cunts from stealing Labour it's not complicated.

At a guess it might be because the (awful) result was known pretty much immediately at 10pm and there was little in the way of surprises after that. In 2015 and 2017 things were a lot closer, so people were probably posting longer into the night
