Pretending that modern type systems provide anything near an adequate control of effects is misleading at best. Controlled side effects are an excellent goal; the way Haskell (or the pure-FP approach) goes about achieving that goal not only falls short of the target (which is OK) but may be going off in the wrong direction altogether.

For example, one of the important things about side effects is not only their existence or lack thereof, but their ordering (e.g. you must write to a socket after you open it and before you close it). While enforcing ordering is possible with PFP type systems (to a certain extent), it gets very complicated very fast. On the other hand, other ways of reasoning about effects and their ordering -- e.g. by debugging and profiling -- are made harder, rather than easier, by the PFP approach.

Personally, I believe a better approach is imperative-functional, namely inline (i.e. non-monadic) side-effects, but made explicit with good effect systems. Sadly, we're not yet at a point where this is possible and easy to do.

I strongly believe monads are not a good way of representing side effects, and to understand why you only need to look at how hard it is to compose monads and how difficult to follow are the ways of composing them (monad transformers).
If you're fat enough for long enough, it does become a part of your identity. That doesn't mean you shouldn't lose weight, but it does make it hard when it's a big part of who you are and how others perceive you.
>> In the time of patronage, it wasn't the intellectual property that was bought and sold, rather the artist. Slavery and patronage are very related systems of organizing human capital. They're both based around primitive ideas of the relationship between labor and capital.

This is absurd. Paying for expert services is not the same thing as slavery. I work as a consultant. Am I a slave?

Why can billions of people go to work each day and earn a paycheck with no expectation of getting paid ever again for that day's work, but with artists, the world owes them a living based off of work they did years ago? And if they must continue to work to get paid it's tantamount to slavery? You won't win any friends with that kind of logic. Most of us earn paychecks, dude, not royalties.

I think this article misses the point of recent controversies, which have dealt with lethal force on unarmed suspects. If a suspect is armed, you probably don't want to shoot their legs and hope they drop their weapon. But if a seemingly unarmed suspect continues to run, or approach, it seems more than reasonable to not shoot to kill. Unless you are Judge Dredd.
I think the trick will be to create a digital version of a part of the system that already exists and then gradually simplify down to something more sane.

Otherwise it'd be really easy to drown in the almost endless complexity (a lot of which doesn't need to be there but accumulated).
What exactly do you means by "there is no threat"?
You only lose power when you deflect particles, and maybe when you radiate some photons as you move through space. Intuitively, both effects seems like they would be fairly small.

Here's how the BBC has approached one aspect of this topic for school children: a short animated story told by a survivor of the bomb. I think it's well done and grounded in a moving personal recollection. It lacks the surrounding context to the bombing of Hiroshima (but then it's not meant to address that).

I would like to see if the '@' has wider use than matrix multiplication. One of my thoughts is to use it in XML processing, as a shortcut to get an attribute, so 'node @ "name"' is equivalent to 'node.attrib.get("name")'.

You are confusing explicit and implicit punishment: the world "punishes" me for doing risky physical things in a way a video game doesn't; I can jump off a building and "die" in a video game, and potentially lose nothing. There are effectively no ramifications of any form on reddit for being an asshole or a bully or a troll: except in some isolated corner cases, for actual users (as opposed to people using reddit as a brand outlet, such as a developer of a popular video game) the value of a reddit account is effectively zero... people are unlikely to recognize it, if thy do people are unlikely to have read many of your comments, and you can always make a new one that is nearly impossible to ban. This effectively destroys the normal mechanisms we have as humans to keep people from being horrible, and reddit fails to replace with mechanisms that matter in the same way.
I'd like to see the truck they are using for this. Did they have to develop any custom hardware?
I'm not familiar with property taxes. Dallas is a collection of cities and counties all around one center - its sprawling so I bet taxes vary.

My anecdotal experience between the two cities is that Dallas is more expensive in the downtown area than KC but once you get into the suburbs the massive amount of development in Dallas brings prices down quickly so suburban living costs are similar.
The part of the article that seems to apply most to that to me is: " "Less-lethal options should be attempted only with tools designed for that purpose," Avery says. "If you deliberately use deadly force to bring people into custody without incapacitating them, you're using the wrong tool for that job."
That is a huge generalization about the Canadian economy. Mining and oil is 8% of the economy. Less than manufacturing and less than services.

> Health insurance companies, in general, absolutely will not reimburse for preventative measures

Well, except for the long list of preventive measures they must pay for, as a result of state and federal regulations [1].

And, except for the fact that some insurers paid for non-mandated preventive services previously (and cover non-mandated preventive measures now), but only to the extent that their experience bore out that those services reduced their downstream expected costs.

nah, the implications are mostly biological. The discovery itself only implies that the language module in our brains are bounded by identical rules across all people. Therefore the discovery leads only to greater insight toward an existing biological system rather then a fundamental theoretical property of language.

As a result, the implications aren't as closely intertwined with CS.
From what I understand a lot of the problem isn't tech dependent but rather legal, standards, union etc related.
I'm not sure if it was the case here, but Tesla has an over-the-air update channel, allowing to adjust overall performance envelope including acceleration, braking and suspension via update from the mothership. As long as you allow for that feature, the penetration vector is unavoidable and can't be engineered away.
It's not so much that it's a racket, it's that it's never been considered a public health problem and there are enough doctors that specialize in this area.

I'm a diagnosed narcoleptic and have obstructive sleep apnea, which is a lot better now after having a tonsillectomy about 2-3 years go. I too am a patient at the same clinic you go to (Stanford) and have been a patient at two other clinics, one in Raleigh, NC and one in São Paulo, Brazil. I don't even remember how many sleep studies I've done. I think 8. Five in Raleigh (One for diagnosis and for as part of the clinical study that approved sodium oxybate for general narcolepsy and not just cataplexy). I did another two in SP IIRC and I did one at Stanford, but should do another one since my surgery.

First thing I recommend is drop your HMO in favor of a PPO. Having to see a GP first is the biggest waste of time and you know your symptoms well enough to at least figure out what specialist to see.

When booking an appointment with the clinic, you can be seen sooner by not picking who will see you. The main doctor at Stanford is Dr. Mignot. He's amazing and bar none the best of the sleep doctors I've seen. The reason that clinic is booked out forever is because he and his clinic are that much better. Booking in the summer months is particularly bad because there are lots of younger patients from elsewhere in the country that will visit Stanford due to its reputation. You're not just competing with local patients but people everywhere in the US. Also let the receptionist know that you're a local patient and that you would be happy to be on the waitlist to be called in case of a cancellation. You'll be seen much sooner this way.

If you actually have sleep problems, all those wires, as inconvenient as they are, are unlikely to impact the results much. In every sleep study I've done, I've been in REM sleep in about ~2 minutes of laying my head on the pillow after the lights have been turned out. All the numbers they use for diagnosis are based on the same methodology with that equipment. If the inconvenience impacts the results than that is already accounted for.

I highly recommend looking into the surgery option (tonsillectomy and lingual reduction) if your ENT doctor (mine is Dr. Capassso) thinks you're a candidate for it. My nighttime breathing was night and day better and I don't snore as much. That said, it's one of the most painful surgeries you can get as an adult. I didn't eat food for more than two weeks and didn't even miss it because it hurt to even think about it. The results were worth it.

Yeah, the whole process sucks at times, but it's not trivial stuff to figure out and if you need this, it will make such a huge improvement in your life that you'll be asking yourself who has time to not go through all that song and dance.
"It works against a variety of market-leading chips, including the KeeLoq access control system from Microchip Technology Inc. and the High Security Rolling Code generator made by National Semiconductor. RollJam is capable of opening electronic locks on cars from Chrysler, Daewoo, Fiat, GM, Honda, Toyota, Volvo, Volkswagen Group, Clifford, Shurlok, and Jaguar. It also works against a variety of garage-door openers, including the rolling code garage door opener made by King Cobra."
The real problem is that most officers have such minimal training and conditioning in hand-to-hand combat combat (specifically, grappling), and as a result they panic and shoot-to-kill much more often than they should, or use excessive force to control a suspect also resulting in unnecessary deaths.

Instead of passing stupid legislation (anyone who's used firearms extensively knows aiming for limbs is not realistic, you have to aim for center-mass), they should work on improving ongoing officer training and conditioning so that officers would feel much more comfortable controlling a suspect without killing them.

I bet there could be creative situations where it could work. Imagine a rig that joins to an electric overhead line (like a light rail). The rig could move at the speed limit around the ring-loop of a city's interstate. Cars can pull alongside it to charge. If it had enough arms, and was narrow enough you could charge quite a few cars. If its then charging from the grid it needn't actually be propelling a battery at all.

Or in a situation where moving the battery already happens. Maybe where a whole fleet of trucks have purchased into a booster pack scheme. The booster packs fall on and off at various cities along a long route. Kind of like jettisoning a space shuttle's boosters. On either side of the city you have 50 packs charging. Radio that you need more juice and as you hit the city limits a booster latches on, you trail it through the city charging your main pack back up, and drop it off on the other side of the city where it charges and waits for someone going the other way. The truck never stops, it just keeps going and gets 'boosted' by a self-driving battery trailer every time it's within 100 miles of a city.
These things can be interpreted as interventions by the insurers to lower the insured parties' risks that could result in claims later, akin to a fire insurance carrier's possible willingness to buy you a fire extinguisher if it calculates that that its resulting expected liability will go down by more than the cost of the extinguisher.

Alternatively, you could view the physical exam as a genuine insurance claim because not all insured parties actually take advantage of all the preventative services that they're theoretically entitled to under their policies. I've had years where I didn't get a physical exam or dental exam that my policies would have allowed me to, and so have many other people (but the carriers still got paid the premiums for those years!). If the carrier makes actuarial estimates of the likelihood of people not using those services, it's pretty solidly back in insurance territory!
Or, cars become a shared resource and you just call up basically a driverless Uber when you need it. That's the future I want to see in e.g. areas where mass-transit is blocked politically (e.g. BART from SF to SJ) or where the population density is such where it doesn't make sense.

According to vet and animal behaviorist Ian Dunbar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Dunbar), the best way to train dogs is not by punishing them when they do something "wrong", but to reward them when they do something right.

From Wikipedia:

Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)[1], was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, he or she may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others."

Which to say, yes. Although I don't think there's actually a requirement to verbally warn them.

The only instance in which an officer should ever be firing a weapon in the field is to stop a target that is posing an immediate and lethal threat. In that situation, shooting to kill would be perfectly justified.

Why can we not address and punish cops who think firing rounds into someone's back as they flee is acceptable instead of trying to mandate that they shoot an extremity (which they will undoubtably 'miss' in the 'heat of the moment' in favor of center mass)?
I think he means that a suspect does not have a weapon in hand but the officer still has a gun pointed at the suspect.
Minor note for anyone wanting to re-run all the experiments, there's a one line change that needs to be done such that it will run on QA19[1]. I'll be pushing the updated code to Keras mainline soon.

Otherwise, all experiments run out of the box, with many of the experiments doing the full training and testing in under a minute. Play around! :)

Small single practices office are going away. Doctors are corporatizing either by merging with other practices or being bought out by hospitals or hospital groups. The reason: electronic medical records and new regulatory requirements. The burden of these regulations has been making it increasingly costly to run single doctor practices. So the result is less choice (in business) and less control for the doctor over the patient experience.

In conclusion, it is a nice idea to think of the doctors as "business people" but the reality is there are fewer and fewer who are. Most are now employees in a large corporate system.

Any other users with this issue?
No. Well, they're not supposed to anyway. There's a cop in South Carolina being charged with murder[0] because he shot a fleeing suspect in the back. The only reason that officer is being charged is because someone caught it on video. Had it not been for that, he probably would not have been charged.

So yeah, I suppose it happens. But it's not legal.

From purchasing merchandise (figurines, dakimakuras, DVD's, soundtracks, etc.) to telling their friends about the anime.

What you're missing is that those things only exist for purchase because someone invested capital in their production, and you only learn about the original media because money was spent on marketing in its home territory.

If all you have is the IP and no capital, which is the position that most authors are in, then you can't easily cash in on the merchandising possibilities or purchase the marketing resources to focus public attention on your product at scale.

people shooting themselves in the foot because they don't understand that potentially free marketing brings in more money than the imaginary "lost sale"

Have you ever tried to sell a creative product? Maybe you should. The reality is that 'potentially free marketing' is a terrible bootstrap strategy for many creative products. If your only marketing option is to give it away free then the signal you are sending to the market is that 'this work has no value' and so nobody is inclined to pay for it. Piracy across market boundaries (like anime) only works because there is already a perception of value for the product - you want something that people in another market can easily buy but which you can't. They can easily buy it because someone invested in distribution and marketing.

Look, if you sat down, learned to draw, and made your own anime book and put it up on the internet for free without caring about copyright, do you think money just comes rolling in? It won't, even if it's good and popular. If you ignore copyright that someone else who does have capital sitting idle will just start producing and selling merchandise and they won't give you any of the money.

Thought experiments are fun, but I am coming to a different conclusion. I agree that it changes the risk analysis, but I don't think that it's necessarily for the worse. Performance doesn't necessarily improve under pressure, and extreme risk aversion can cause some funny side effects - for instance working around known bugs rather than risk correcting them.

Is there any data to support the "only possible result" that you conclude? Or, maybe examples of high-quality software that doesn't have any kind of high-frequency automatic update mechanism?
