Well, millions of Indian users received an in-app notification from WhatsApp as part of an upcoming global roll-out, asking them to either accept the changes in its Terms of Service and privacy policy by February 8 or their accounts will be deleted. The last time WhatsApp updated its privacy policy globally was in 2016. Now, if you tap on 'agree' what exactly you are signing up for? So, the terms of Service and privacy policy is regarding how WhatsApp will collect and process users' information going forward, and the partnership with Facebook, its parent company, as part of a larger unification drive between the family of apps. With this your privacy is impacted. WhatsApp holds some data about you. So does Facebook. Those data are in different silos. If the silos talk to each other, the company knows more. For example, it may learn that a given phone number (used for WhatsApp) is associated with the FB account (which may have a different name and/or different number associated). From February 8, FB will also be able to tie accurate location data if you give WhatsApp permission to use this. Listen to the podcast for more

RED = auto() ... BLUE = auto() ... GREEN = auto() ... WHITE = RED | BLUE | GREEN Michael #4: Why should you use an ORM (Object Relational Mapper)? You may have heard you should use an ORM, but why? To get a better understanding of how ORMs work, it’s helpful to work through the kind of problems they can solve. Data modeled as classes is great but has some shortcomings How do you query, filter, sort it? How do you store it? Classes live in memory only and pickling isn’t ideal for many reasons There is also concurrency, transactional operations/atomiticity Enter the DB But plain SQL is error prone (did you refactor that name? oops) Plain SQL has code written within another language (SQL within Python, tools help but still) Plain SQL has potential security issues (unless you use parameters) ORMs ORMs are libraries that sit between the SQL database world and your object-oriented programming language world. For all intents and purposes, they are an abstraction layer that allows, among other things, for the translation of Python to SQL. A cycle is formed Define our models in the Python world as objects the ORM layer translates those models to SQL statements with SQL types to create tables and columns. In our application, we instantiate objects from those models, which creates rows in the aforementioned tables. Finally, when we want those objects back, we use Python code to retrieve them, which triggers the ORM layer to create the necessary query to retrieve the rows from the database. Then, the ORM layer takes the resulting rows and maps them back to objects. And you get migrations Brian #5: sqlite-utils: a Python library and CLI tool for building SQLite databases Simon Willison, @simonw “sqlite-utils is a combination Python library and command-line tool I’ve been building over the past six months which aims to make creating new SQLite databases as quick and easy as possible.” CLI for sqlite Run queries and output JSON, CSV, or tables analyzing tables inserting data creating, dropping, transforming tables creating indexes searching … Python API for using as a library way easier interaction with sqlite. import sqlite_utils db = sqlite_utils.Database("demo_database.db") # This line creates a "dogs" table if one does not already exist: db["dogs"].insert_all([ {"id": 1, "age": 4, "name": "Cleo"}, {"id": 2, "age": 2, "name": "Pancakes"} ], pk="id") sqlite-utils docs Anthony #6: Online conferences are not working for me. But this was a good talk, “What the struct?!” by Zachary Anglin at the Pyjamas conference. Explains the struct libraries macro-language for converting binary data structures into Python native types (and vice versa) https://docs.python.org/3/library/struct.html#format-characters Really nice if you want to programmatically edit/read binary structure (combining with the bitwise operators). If you’re getting into this topic. Save-game hacking is an interesting place to start. I use SynalizeIT! /Synalysis as a binary data grammar explorer. It has some example save game formats https://www.synalysis.net/formats.xml Its also great for hacking/CTF. https://youtu.be/QT_NAk_peHQ?t=7130 Extras Brian: Resurrecting Python PDX West as a virtual lunchtime event.

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From February 11, 2008. After the big bang, all we had was hydrogen, a little bit of helium, and a few other trace elements. Today, we’ve a whole periodic table of elements to enjoy, from oxygen we breathe to the aluminium cans we drink from to the uranium that powers some people’s homes. How did we get from plain old hydrogen to our current diversity? It came from stars, in fact successive generations of stars.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.

[From February through March 22, 2020 (his last day hosting Think Again) Jason will be revisiting favorite past episodes. Jason's new show, starting May 12th, is Clever Creature with Jason Gots.] Adult life, with all its schedules and responsibilities, can turn into a kind of library of locked boxes. The ones we open every day sit on a shelf at eye level, their keys clipped to a carabiner at our waist: Set the alarm. Pack a gym bag. Pick up milk for the kids. But on the lower shelves and in the dusty back rooms there’s an ominous jumble of odd-shaped containers. They hold the stories that don’t fit so neatly into the skin we’ve decided to live in. Maybe we’ve misplaced the keys, or maybe we’ve deliberately lost them. My guest today keeps all the keys close at hand. In his stories and graphic novels worlds collide and, as the fairy Ariel puts it in Shakespeare’s Tempest, they “suffer a sea change, into something rich and strange”. The walls of reality are permeable, and dangerous magic is always seeping through. Neil Gaiman is the author of the Sandman graphic novels, The Graveyard Book, Coraline, American Gods, and many other wonderful things. His latest is a marvelous retelling of Norse Mythology, with most of the nasty bits left in.

[From February through March 22, 2020 (his last day hosting Think Again) Jason will be revisiting favorite past episodes. Jason's new show, starting May 12th, is Clever Creature with Jason Gots.] I’m underground as I write this, one day before taping the conversation you’re about to hear, speeding through New York City subway tunnels that aren’t all that ancient but whose darkness, and rats, and crumbling, esoteric infrastructure holds fear and fascination enough for anyone who contemplates them. Waking up this morning—notice how you wake up, not down—I felt my already barely remembered dreams sliding off of me in layers, like leaves, or hands. And the longing to submit to those hands and slide back down, underground, into the caverns of sleep. My guest today, Robert MacFarlane, has dug deeper than I could ever hope to into the meanings and magnetism of the underworld —tunnels, caves, sinkholes, and the living, fungal earth of our world and our imaginations. At one point in his new book UNDERLAND he brings up the fact that to a neutrino, our solid physical world is just a a mesh—Mount Everest is a wide-gauge net it can pass easily through. In MacFarlane’s writing, the layers of the world are transparent, overlapping, always already present. He’s often called a “nature writer”, but that’s a poor proxy for what he actually is: a philosopher poet with the gift of sight in the darkness, whose penetrating vision turns the world inside out.

[From February through March 22, 2020 (his last day hosting Think Again) Jason will be revisiting favorite past episodes. Jason's new show, starting May 12th, is Clever Creature with Jason Gots.] -- Faith in anything is its own special form of madness. It’s a challenge to entropy, and entropy takes no challenge lightly. If there’s any better metaphor for this struggle than trying to make a big budget movie with even a shred of integrity, I haven’t found it. On the one hand, you’ve got this impossible dream. This faith in the beautiful thing that’s supposed to emerge at at the end of the process. On the other hand, the process is a hellish sausage-making machine of studio bosses, financing, and acts of god like four days of flash flooding in the middle of your big shoot. You might as well be Don Quixote, doing battle with a windmill. What kind of masochist would put themselves through that? My guest today, Terry Gilliam, is that very masochist. And we should be grateful, because his stomach for the fight has given us movies like THE FISHER KING, BRAZIL, 12 MONKEYS and MONTY PYTHON’s THE LIFE OF BRIAN. And now, almost 30 years after his first, biblically disastrous attempt to make it, THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE. Starring Adam Driver and Jonathan Pryce, the movie is as funny, thrilling, and unpretentiously deep as the best of Gilliam’s work. It’s also kind of like one of those Russian matryoshka dolls: a film inside a film inside a film, all of them metaphors for the holy folly of believing in anything at all. The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is out April 19th in select theaters and on demand video.

Three Steps to Protect Your Retirement from Coronavirus Market Swings by Carla Fried After weeks of resistance, the U.S. stock market was laid low by the global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). From February 19th through February 27, the S&P 500 fell more than 11%, as the reality set in that our economy will slow at least temporarily as production in major supply markets (namely, China) is curtailed, and consumer spending may decrease.

[From February through March 22, 2020 (his last day hosting Think Again) Jason will be revisiting favorite past episodes. Jason's new show, starting May 12th, is Clever Creature with Jason Gots.] -- Among other things, music can be medicine. Like a vaccine, it sometimes works by giving your body a little taste of the disease. Other times, of course, you just wanna dance, and James Brown might be just what you need. But the medicine songs I’m talking about are the ones that break your heart open no matter many times you hear them. And you want them to—because that’s what it feels like to be alive. Nobody knows this better than my guest today, singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell. Like the centuries of blues and folk songs that echo through it, transubstantiated by her voice and guitar into something almost too beautiful to bear, her music is powerful medicine. Anaïs wrote all the songs, lyrics and the book of the new (14x Tony-nominated!) Broadway musical, HADESTOWN, directed by Rachel Chavkin. It makes new again the ancient story of the singer-songwriter Orpheus and his lover Eurydice, who he follows all the way to hell, and leads most of the way back again.  Learn more about your ad choices.

[From February through March 22, 2020 (his last day hosting Think Again) Jason will be revisiting favorite past episodes. Jason's new show, starting May 12th, is Clever Creature with Jason Gots.] -- At this point, it’s very rare to read something and find myself thinking: This is something new. This is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. It doesn’t have to be written in hieroglyphs or be some kind of three-dimensional interactive reading experience with pull-out tabs and half the pages upside down. That kind of formal experimentation, in my experience as a reader, more often ends up being gimmicky and annoying than exhilarating. In fact, paradoxically, the “wow this is something new” experience often comes along with a sense that this new thing has somehow always existed, in your dreams if nowhere else.  Marlon James—the Jamaican writer who won the Man Booker Prize for A Brief History of Seven Killings— has done something in his new fantasy novel Black Leopard, Red Wolf that’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The first book of a trilogy, it’s been described as an “African Game of Thrones” and likened in scope to Tolkien’s Lord of The Rings. But the stories within stories it tells and the shifts in voice and perspective thrust you into a seething, hallucinatory, morally ambiguous world that’s part Ayahuasca dream and part blacklight nightmare, anchored in a rich African mythology that’s worlds away from all those elves, wizards, dragons, and goblins—all those well-worn tales of light versus darkness.  Surprise conversation-starters in this episode:  Jeffrey Sachs on whether Jeff Bezos should distribute his Amazon wealth Damian Echols on tattoos as a lifeline  Learn more about your ad choices.

This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ: Who is your favorite “Star Trek: Picard” character thus far?  Why? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Michelle Hurd on Raffi, Stewart, and Sir Patrick Star Trek and its cultural importance is not lost on one of its newest stars, Michelle Hurd. The veteran actress, who plays Raffi in Star Trek Picard, understands what the iconic series means to its fans in a very personal way. During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the 53 year old Hurd recalls her memories of watching the Original series with her father, actor Hugh Hurd. ”It was really important [to my dad] that we see ourselves represented in the arts. So literally, when I got the job, I was like: 'Oh my god — Uhura was literally involved in the first biracial kiss ever on television. The first woman of color, in a position of power, on a TV show like this. So when you think about the stories that were told [on The Original Series], using aliens and sci-fi to tell stories with themes like inclusion and immigration, I absolutely acknowledge and own my role in it. I'm so excited about it” Hurd went on to mention her joy in playing Raffi, a flawed character in an organization like Starfleet. ”not only am I a woman of color, but I can tell that story about all of us who have struggled similarly. Who have some demons. And, in doing so, show that — not all of us are bad people. We're all out here trying to do our best. We're all human beings, with stories worth telling.” Evan Evagora talks Elnor, Stewart, and Frakes In “Star Trek: Picard”’s fourth episode,  “Absolute Candor”, we are introduced to the latest addition of the Rag-Tag group of rogues - the young, angsty warrior-hero - Luke Sky… ...wait-a-minute… Elnor. Elnor actor Evan Evagora sat down with SyFyWire to discuss his role on the series, and how some of Trek’s most important stars eased him into the franchise. Of  Elnor, the young sheltered Romulan warrior raised by a group of Romulan warrior-priestesses, Evagora says ”He's like a moody teenager, but every time he snaps, he has the potential to kill someone. That's how I played him. What if a moody teenager could just do whatever he wants whenever he flips out?” Evagora  recalled that, much like his character Elnor, he set off on an unprecedented adventure when he left his home in Melbourne Australia for Las Angeles California - and like the Romulan swordsman, he had wise guides. The young actor recalled his introduction to the series lead and Hollywood icon, Sir Patrick Stewart, saying The first time I met Patrick Stewart, I was terrified. It was the worst first meeting. And my first day of filming I was sooo nervous. Patrick took me aside because he could see the nervousness in me. But it's not like he told me a story about being nervous or anything like that. He has this way of making you feel at ease. Him and Jonathan Frakes, they’re very similar that way. They make you feel comfortable on the set. And when you’re comfortable, you can really lose yourself in the moment and the character.” Jeri Ryan’s Return! “Absolute Candor”’s final, and arguably most exciting reveal, was the reintroduction of Seven of Nine? The Hollywood Reporter took the opportunity to catch up with Seven’s real-life-counterpart, Jeri Ryan to discuss what’s changed, and what’s stayed the same, since her last Star Trek appearance. Ryan commented on the difference between UPN’s “Star Trek: Voyager” and CBS ALL ACCESS’ “Star Trek: Picard”, saying ”The scale of these sets, the costumes, it’s crazy. It’s like you’re doing a feature film every week.[...]In one of my scenes, where I had to go in and work a console, we go in for the first rehearsal and I had to touch buttons and the screen actually does something! And I totally flipped out, like: ‘Oh my god, actually having buttons that work!” Though Ryan is no stranger to  trek, she still had first day jitters, telling the Hollywood Reporter ”My first scene, the big scene, was the one you see in the trailer, when we’re in his office/ready room. That was my first day on set. It was daunting — not just because it was Patrick — but because I was still petrified — or ‘Patrick-fied’ — of if I could find the character again. I was still trying to figure out who she was.” Though she was “Patrick-fied”, another TNG alumnus helped ease her back into the role. ”I was so fortunate because Jonathan Frakes was directing my first episode. So with that, I knew I was in good hands. [Frakes], more than anyone else, would get the importance of revisiting and being true to these characters. Because the challenge for me is: Where has she been for nearly 20 years? Finding her voice was the hardest thing for me; when I read the first script — I just couldn’t hear her voice anywhere.” LeVar Burton For Picard Season 2? Is your favorite “Next Generation” character making an appearance on “Star Trek: Picard”. If your favorite is Geordie, LeVar Burton has good money on it. At least that’s what he told Straight.com, or The Georgia Straight, during a call from Vancouver’s FanExpo. Burton said ”Star Trek has always been one of the most positive and hopeful visions for the future of humanity, and for that reason, among others, I've always embraced it.” before offering his predictions regarding a Picard/LaForge reunion. ”I'm not a betting man, but I would wager good money that you'll probably see all of the Next Gen cast at some point or another, just not all at the same time. Besides, I understand that Hugh Borg [Jonathan Del Arco] is very, very prominent in Picard. And, you know, Geordi gave him his name. I think we’ll have to explore that at some point.” Star Trek Online and Gaming News by Shane Hoover Steam Accounts Get Linked To ARC Accounts Arc Games has announced a new feature aimed at making life easier for its players who use Steam for their gaming. Previously, in order to play Star Trek Online or Neverwinter through Steam, a player would have to navigate multiple layers of login screens. First you had to login to Steam, then you had to login to an Arc account to get into the game. Starting February 18th for a few users, and expanding to all users by February 20th, Steam users will be able to link their Steam account to their Arc account.  After launching the game and providing your Arc account credentials, the accounts will automatically be linked. Once the process is complete, players will only need to authenticate to Steam to get into either Star Trek Online or Neverwinter. Abraham Lincoln Costume Giveaway For a brief time this past week, Star Trek Online was giving away a new cross-faction costume based on its 10th anniversary celebrations. From February 13th to February 17th, all players were able to claim “The Emancipator” costume. As seen in-game on the 16th President of the United States, this costume gives players tailor options for the Long Coat, Bowtie, and Top Hat. The top hat came in two varieties, a full-sized hat and a mini-hat placed at a jaunty angle. As you’d expect from such a costume giveaway, players have already embraced the Space Barbie potential! From dapper top-hatted Gorn to brightly colored circus ringmasters to whimsical looking Borg drones, it seems like hats and tails are everywhere right now.   Notable PC Patch Changes This week saw a number of systems improvements appear in the weekly Patch Notes for PC players. The Ship Vendor UI was updated to provide additional details on the effects of ship scaling on ship statistics, as well as a new indicator for any current ship mastery progress.  Similarly, the player Drydock UI now displays whether you’ve completed a docked ship’s mastery. The development team has also opened up the Kelvin Timeline Constitution starship to use all standard Federation bridges.  Hero Collector’s Awaited STO Ships Coming In May If you remember late last year, Hero Collector announced two upcoming ship models based on Star Trek Online - the Gagarin-Class Federation Battlecruiser and the Chimera-Class Federation Heavy Destroyer. Well, StarTrek.com and Hero Collector have officially announced that these new ships will become available in May. Each ship will be priced at $22.95. If you haven’t added STO to your ship collection already, these ships are a great chance to get started. Or you can hop over to GamePrint to take advantage of their 10th Anniversary discount code and add almost any ship in the game to your model collection! EVENTS Captains on Consoles won’t have long to wait before they can join in the 10th Anniversary celebrations. Ambassador Kael announced in a news blog this week that the Anniversary Event and STO Legacy release is scheduled to hit consoles on March 3rd. Event and mission rewards are the same as those we’ve previously described for the PC event release. The big prize, of course, is the T6 Khitomer-class Alliance Battlecruiser, which can be claimed for 20 days of event progress by March 31st.

To begin, use the Event UI itself to instantly transwarp you to Q’s location on ESD. After Q assigns you three random space or ground locations to scan Omega Particles, use more free transwarps to get you there faster. Just take a few minutes to pick up some game missions that begin in systems where Omega Particles appear. Then, when a location appears in your Omega Event list, you can use the mission hailing UI to transwarp immediately to that system. Just remember to leave the mission right away so it’s not removed from your active mission list. Here are a few of the systems you can reach this way, and which episode or optional mission arc will get you there. Starbase 39 from “The Vault” in the "Romulan Mystery" arc Vulcan from “Diplomatic Orders” in the "Klingon War" arc Drozana Station from “Spin The Wheel” in the "Specters" optional mission arc Defera from “Cold Call” in the "Cold War" optional mission arc Bajor from “Jabberwocky” in the "Cardassian Struggle" arc DS9 from “Renegade's Regret” in the "New Frontiers" arc Once the Omega Event is over, you can just drop the missions to clean them up from your UI. Other Gaming News Star Trek Timelines Mega-Event Continues In other Star Trek Gaming News: A month long Star Trek Timelines Mega-Event began on February 6th and will carry on through the week of February 27th. The event introduces new crew characters for retired Admiral Picard and Cadet Picard, as well as new variants of many existing crew characters. A special recurrent “threshold” reward will be the new “Picard and Number One” crew. The “Forever As One” event brings the Borg front and center in the game, with a rogue Borg element introduced looking to bring back Locutus of Borg.

[From February through March 22, 2020 (his last day hosting Think Again) Jason will be revisiting favorite past episodes. Jason's new show, starting May 12th, is Clever Creature with Jason Gots.] -- Note: I feel I should let listeners know that this episode of Think Again is about surviving and thriving in the face of unspeakable trauma and sexual violence. And in order to get to the thriving, we have talk about the trauma, which may be painful for some listeners and inappropriate for kids. But I don’t want to scare anybody off—I think it’s one of the most valuable conversations we’ve ever had on the show.  -- For a human child growing up, trust is the foundation of everything. We learn how to regulate our emotions, how to see the world as relatively stable and safe through the connection with the people who care for us. Severely neglected children can suffer all kinds of harm to their ability to think, connect with others, and learn. But what happens when the caring bond is not only missing, but is horribly abused? Distorted through incest and sexual violence? How do you build a self and life after that? And let’s say you somehow manage to survive to adulthood…to thrive, even. How do you fill the place in your heart where the love and the trust is supposed to be? My guest today has had to answer all these questions for herself. She is the playwright, author, and activist Eve Ensler. You may know her as the creator of the Vagina Monlogues. What you might not know is that all the horrors I’m talking about happened to her as a kid. Let me take that out of the passive voice: her father did that to her, and more. And he died without saying anything remotely close to “I’m sorry”. So Eve wrote his apology for him—her book THE APOLOGY is a letter to her—to Eve—in the imagined voice of her dead father, retelling what happened, why it happened, and trying to figure out in these twisted circumstances what an apology would even mean… Surprise conversation starters in this episode: Jared Diamond on immigrants and innovation  -- Thoughts on relistening:  This episode with Eve Ensler means a lot to me. I came late to the feminist conversation about patriarchy and masculinity. About the ways men are taught to be ashamed of vulnerability, and how all that fear and shame can lead to violence. Listening back I’m struck again by this one thing she says: “Language changes everything. It’s like the word 'vagina'. If you can’t say it, you can’t see it. If you can’t see it, a lot of things can happen to it in the dark without your permission.” There is so much hope and power in the work Eve does to break the silence and encourage others to do the same. As a man, I hear it especially loud and clear when she says it’s time for men to “...make a choice. Whether they’re going to maintain allegiance to the male code or step into the next paradigm. Stopping the domination so they get to be free in this lifetime.” I hear it and I personally, enthusiastically accept that call.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

[From February through March 22, 2020 (his last day hosting Think Again) Jason will be revisiting favorite past episodes. Jason's new show, starting May 12th, is Clever Creature with Jason Gots.] Life is full of horrible things. I dare you to deny it. Things like death, sickness, and alcoholism. And did I mention death, which lies in wait for us all? But if you talk about these things at dinner parties, or at work, or to someone you have just met in line at the grocery store, you risk being branded a negative person. In some circles, such as the state of California, negativity is like leprosy. It can really mess up your social life. This does not seem to trouble my guest today, who has spent much of his life turning horrible, true stories into festive comedy. like many people, I first heard David Sedaris’ unmistakable voice on public radio in the late 90s. My sister and I took a couple of his audio books on a road trip across America in her red Saturn with a bumper sticker on the back that read “Humanity is Trying”. Having Sedaris along as company somehow made the endless miles of Stuckeys’ and strip malls, and the weeping people at Elvis‘s grave side in Graceland a little less alien and terrifying. In his latest book, Calypso, David is doing his thing better than ever. It’s about what’s on his mind these days, from decluttering the English countryside, to feeding a surgically removed lump of fat to a snapping turtle, to a sister’s suicide.
