There is a context in the original tweet.

Trump had repetitively used the term "Chinese Virus" since the pandemic. Quoting the Conversation[1]

> The expressions “Chinese virus” and “Wuhan virus” personify the threat...The adjective “Chinese” is particularly problematic as it associates the infection with an ethnicity. Talking about group identities withan explicitly medical language is a recognized process of Othering (here and here), historically used in anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy, including toward Chinese immigrants in North America. This type of language stokes anxiety, resentment, fear and disgust toward people associated with that group.

In this particular tweet, Trump used the term "China Virus" instead of "Chinese Virus". Following the development of the recent events, it is very clear that such a term still ties to people of an ethnicity, or people of a location, instead of, say, just a location. The dismiss of the comparison is weak.

> So what? I'm gonna guess he wanted to amplify the photo of a mask-wearing Trump, not the China Virus.

Even if pg's intend was just to amplify the photo of a mask-wearing Trump, the fact that he liked and retweed a message inciting hatred is beyond disappointing.

Escape velocity


My dad was an aero space engineer, and I always had trouble with this. It is the speed you need to be going at, to not be pulled back by gravity. As a kid, I always thought, well big deal, if I am in a plane and just keep going up, eventually I will be out. The key I always missed was the velocity at that point was with no added power. So when the engine cuts off, what is your velocity? Is it enough to escape? Or do you need more power. Of course there is a good chance I still do not understand it.

Is the library published on PyPI?


No but you can install any library from github with

pip install --upgrade git+[URL]


You can also publish anything to pypi in like 5 minutes. Go for it.


Yes but I don't want to manage version numbers and release a new one each time I push a commit to my repo. Also anyone can take the code s/he wants directly.

Do you have some kind of automatic pypi release system?


With a bit of twiddling you can get Travis CI to publish to pypi on successful master builds:

https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pypi/


Oh nice!


I did it https://pypi.python.org/pypi/algnuth :)

I didn't know it was so important but I learn every day!
