If you are "incentivized" to do something you otherwise wouldn't by an undercover cop, you're still considered guilty of the crime, and doubly so because you were caught red handed in the act, unless of course you can prove entrapment, which is extremely difficult ... when you are doing something wrong, and you know it, even if you are being pressured by those above you to do that, you still know it's wrong. This is why we have whistleblower protection and this is also why soldiers can be court-marshalled for following orders that they know to be illegal.

Did he convict an innocent man due to his own wrongdoing and did he knowingly withhold evidence? Clearly.

Did he prove that he was coerced into this behavior in some way, thus proving entrapment and absolving himself of any guilt in this matter? If he had, it's doubtful he would've been fined and sentenced to jail time and community service, ergo, I'd say he did not.

So he did something wrong, he did so knowingly, even if he had "surrendered his sense of self" to the institution, he is still guilty of wrongdoing that destroyed another mans life - by the very same argument that the entrapped would have to prove that the entrapment led him to behave this way.

What's the difference?

"That sounds weird, but can have major benefits."

I give git training at work with some frequency. I now briefly discuss this sort of patch-based workflow, explicitly so I can tell people it's not how git works, because in my experience, it's what most people naively expect out of a version control system. Same problem when people try to work out workflows for git. I hypothesize that the reason for the profusion of git workflows is precisely that we really want a patch-based system. Or, in other words, it's not really weird; snapshot-based systems may be weird.

It never comes up in SVN or similarly klunky systems, because they're too incidentally complex to notice the underlying essential mismatch. Git and friends, to their credit, made the incidental complexity go away, but I think the essential complexity of their approach is still higher than it ought to be. I wish pijul all the best, because there is room for improvement here.

And may I suggest to the pijul team that they really, really want a Pijul-hub as soon as they think they're even remotely ready.
I went to Germany this past summer and bought amazing gas-station sandwiches for 4 euros apiece, with great quality meat, cheese, and bread. I came back to America and bought a Starbucks sandwich for $12 and almost threw it out, it was so bad in comparison.

Even if you have neutral perceptions of sandwiches you will definitely taste the difference between American bread and European bread.

No? I thought that humans used to be all lactose intolerant, and that the ability to digest lactose was a rather recent mutation that's for example more spread in Europa than in East Asia.

To me that's a perfect example of modern humans still evolving genetically.
Lots of great improvements, but as ever I'm looking to the future. :) The effort to overhaul the compiler middle-end is proceeding nicely, and MIR construction should now be turned on in the nightlies (though hopefully turned off in 1.5-beta, since it isn't actually useful yet for anything other than generating heat). Meanwhile, support for driving LLVM IR generation from the MIR is in the pipeline as we speak: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/29217

One possible problem I see is that females becoming comparatively "irresponsible" about birth control due to perception of males having vasectomy, which may increase accidental pregnancies. I am not taking birth control methods used for STD protection into account here, but the the award of 10k may need to be carefully set so as to have an optimal ratio of infertile vs fertile males. Seems like an interesting proposal though.
> Billing is purely on energy consumption.

This is not the case in many jurisdictions, and sometimes varies within a jurisdiction.

In England, providers offer plans with varying levels of constant fees/"standing charge" and only very few plans have zero standing charge.

If you want me to cite the other rulings, that's fine.

Here's another for you: In Imbler v. Pachtman, 424 U. S. 409 (1976), the Court held that prosecutors performing core prosecutorial functions are entitled to absolute immunity.

In this case, it was a core advocative function that was performed. It does not matter if they do it in bad faith, illegally, whatever. They will be given absolute immunity.

The only cases you will find otherwise will be around non-core functions, or about the specific act of things like "being bribed around filing criminal charges", and not things part of the core function.

You don't have to take my word for it, of course. Look at the decisions of literally every circuit.
Or any of the myriad of law review papers detailing the history, etc.
> Sometimes the exculpatory evidence can be clear-cut

That's irrelevant. The prosecutor chose to withhold the evidence to further his case. Even if he wasn't sure the suspect was innocent, he cannot claim he acted in good faith when he knowingly withholds evidence. As a prosecutor he knows very well he should present all the evidence he has. It is not his job to judge what's relevant and what's not.

Teachers aren't randomly selected from the population; they more or less all have bachelors' degrees, and generally they have further qualifications in teaching. So the appropriate point of comparison would be something more like holders of masters' degrees.

Serious question - Why don't grocery stores make and market these ready to cook fresh/healthy boxed meals? They already have the inventory & could use last mile uberRush type delivery services that are expanding.

I know I'm over simplifying this - but if I was wanted to be in this space, I'd partner with grocery stores to build their tech, and charge the groceries incremental fees off each sale without taking on inventory / capital risk.

I'm just not sure about Gobble, blue apron, hello fresh et all... how are they differentiating themselves operationally? (Besides throwing money at having their own refrigerated distribution centers)

I am not claiming it more mysterious than relativity not sure why you keep talking about that. I say that they are both proven to any extent anything can be.

I am saying that they can't be reconciled philosophically and so we have different interpretations none of them fully adequate to create a unified theory.

I am guessing that you are one of those who don't care about that part and thats fine. But to claim that there is no conflict and no disagreement and that other physicists doesn't is wrong.

Here is an incrementing population tally; note how fast its growing:
http://m.worldometers.info/world-population/

Its not current population so much as the growth rate. China is 2/11 of the World. That's between 1/5 and 1/6, so small changes they make have dramatic effects decades down the road. Our current population is almost certainly not sustainable doing things the way we are now, but we are changing that. Population growth is only sustainable with dramatic changes in the way we live, yet we are adding people by the billion.

I remember this being a concern around when mp3s started to become popular–it's quite amazing how far we've come since the age where an mp3 would soak up an appreciable amount of CPU and saturate an internet connection seemingly forever while downloading.

I just started playing an old mp3 file on my new-ish MacBook and was surprised that it was using 15% CPU...before I realized that it was actually loading it from the cloud storage that holds my 7000 song/50gb music library for next to no cost (it dropped to 1% CPU moments later after it had buffered)–never mind having subscription access to essentially all the world's music.
That's like asking me what do I want to build with this C programming language and compiler thing. You really don't have time to read it all. :)

Main objective is to find a tool flexible enough to handle about arbitrary algorithms and dramatically lower the bar for people/companies wanting to do FPGA acceleration. The less hardware design they need to know the better. That takes HLS. Worst case, the design happens faster and cheaper using fewer hardware developers possibly with less experience.
As a former Ruby dev, and current Scala dev, I actually think Ceylon would appeal more to Rubyists.

Syntax-wise, Ceylon is not a very pretty language at first glance. LHS types and semi-colons. Not really a lot to like from a syntax perspective for your average Scala developer I think.

But that's just my opinion.

> His failure notwithstanding, is there some reason why the defense didn't call the son to testify as a witness in court? Not trying to defend Anderson, but genuinely curious.

He pleaded guilty, so it presumably wasn't an option. I doubt he had much contact with his son whilst under arrest on suspicion of murder so probably didn't know what his son had seen when making the plea, and three year old's memories fade pretty quickly (the son apparently had no recollection of the incident whatsoever later in life and grew up believing the father was guilty and not having the slightest interest in the appeal process). Even if the son had been able to testify at the time I suspect most judges would advise the jury not to take a denial that Daddy was there from an infant at face value.

Here's the reported confused remarks made by the three-year old: enough to change a wrongly accused man's mind about how to plead perhaps, but far from admissible testimony

My very basic understanding of it was that boys were preferred since they were able to help out in the fields and as a result, girl babies were killed. I wonder if it would just continue since this means 2 able bodies vs. 1? I feel like some state-sanctioned benefits would need to be put into place for the rural populations to prefer raising girls. A 1.2 male-to-female ratio is an appalling metric for a country.

First, that example is not jump threading, since its cloning code and CFG blocks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_threading

is a better description of jump threading.

In what the author describes as jump threading, you have the same problem as loop peeling or any other loop optimization that may get applied to an infinite loop and want to duplicate per-iteration code from that loop.

Yet somehow, as you'll see, we can prove things about the end states of those optimizations.

I'm sure Basecamp is going to be thrilled about this. It's ironic since google is the antithesis of all that is preached in Rework.
It absolutely is, but it's defined backwards compared to how most people intuit it.

You can't look at a population today and identify which individuals are the fittest in evolutionary terms. It's not possible to state with precision that someone who has e.g. more sex or more children or is taller or richer or poorer or better spoken or more sociopathic is more likely to succeed.

Rather, fitness is something that can only be defined in reverse, because today's population is full of individuals with ancestors who have survived and reproduced, and so on all the way back.

As Neal Stephenson puts it: "Like every other creature on the face of the earth, Godfrey was, by birthright, a stupendous badass, albeit in the somewhat narrow technical sense that he could trace his ancestry back up a long line of slightly less highly evolved stupendous badasses to that first self-replicating gizmo---which, given the number and variety of its descendants, might justifiably be described as the most stupendous badass of all time. Everyone and everything that wasn't a stupendous badass was dead."
