The press has always been biased. Bezos just reversed the WaPo's bias.
All press is biased. If you deny one press outfit access to the White House, you need to deny them all or none at all. Otherwise, you're partial, you favor your guys and you're no better than Trump.
I really hope that if we ever get a Democrat back in the White House, press credentials of WaPo and anyone who bent a knee to Trump are revoked.
The one thing democrats should never do is act like Trump. Spite and revenge are not healthy political attitudes.
Trump should be glad: he's uniquely special because his special is the short bus kind.
So who's surprised...
WaPo is owned by Bezos.
Bezos is part of the broligarch clique.
The broligarchs use MAGA to enrich their already ultrarich asses.
Ergo, WaPo is now MAGA's mouthpiece.
Me, I don't even bother posting any story from WaPo. They're compromised as far as I'm concerned.
More like aromatic-asexual...
After Trump being elected twice, and the second time with more votes than the first despite Jan 6, the felony convictions and all the rest, I'm not surprised by anything anymore: America as a country is simply not fucking right in the head.

I didn't. I was referring to countries that still exist today.
It's almost as if he's only in it for the grift...
I have news for you: it already exists. It's still more or less dormant, but all it would take is one order to activate.
It's called CloudFlare.
They're quite simple. Just convert the values to binary and apply the applicable truth tables. Just remember operator precedence when you use them, and in doubt, don't trust your luck and apply parentheses generously 🙂
But what is an example of where I can use it?
Aside from operations on bitfields, a bitwise operator can be useful in several "non bits" cases. For instance:
value & 1 evaluates to 1 if value is odd (and will evaluate to True in an if statement)
value >> 1 divides value by 2 (integer division)
But usually bitwise operators are for when you want to manipulate bits in values. For instance:
value | 5 returns value with bits 1 and 3 set to True
value & 0xffff returns the 16 least-significant bits in value (usually you do this to make sure it will fit in 2 bytes in memory for example)
value & (0xffff ^ 5) returns the lower 16 bits of value with bits 1 and 3 set to False
Etc.
Much to unpack here...
coin == 25 | 10 | 5
...will evaluate as True if coin is equal to the bitwise OR of 25, 10 and 5 - i.e. 31. In other word, it's equivalent to coin == 31. That's because the bitwise OR has precedence over the == operator. See operator precedence in Python.
If I replace the ‘|’ with ‘or’ the code runs just fine.
It probably doesn't. If you replace | with or, you have the statement coin == 25 or 10 or 5 which is always True in the if statement because it's evaluated as (coin == 25) or (not 0) or (not 0) in an if statement.
coin == 25 | coin == 10 | coin == 5
...will evaluate as coin == (25 | coin) == (10 | coin) == 5. Again, operator precedence.
What you want to do is this:
if coin in [25, 10, 5]:
or
if coin in (25, 10, 5):
or simply
if coin == 25 or coin == 10 or coin == 5:
Don't create problems and confusion for the next guy who reads your code for nothing. Simple and readable are your friends 🙂
He survived because he WASN'T run over by a train. He luckily fell asleep very close to the rails but just out of danger.
You have to admit, they have a great sense of macabre humor. I guess the only countries that top that are China and Iran.
That's the most accurate article on the subject I've read in years.
The sad truth is, Americans are so damned dumb, he might be right.
Do we officially call them the US Gestapo yet or do we wait until they resort to torture on US soil?
