Show us the example where a person has killed multiple children and got an 8 year sentence.

Perhaps you should look at the US system where rich privileged kids can drive drunk, kill other passengers and avoid prison because of 'affluenza'.

The US prison system is corrupt, racist and run for the benefit of prison companies and if you don't realise that then perhaps you have been living under a rock.

First, higher-kinded types is a feature; dependent types is an entire philosophy. Second, I think you're misjudging the adoption of those languages/ideas: the percentage of real-world programs using HM type-systems (and similar) has hardly changed in the past two or even three decades. Scala is special because it's a single language with lots of paradigms. If you count only those who make good use of sophisticated typed abstractions in Scala and add those to the HM languages, there would still be a very small uptick. The major change in the past few years, I think, has to do with mainstream adoption of higher-order functions. That idea took fifty years to break into the mainstream.

As to language effectiveness, I can't argue with you because neither of us has any real data, but I can say that there's a lot of religion surrounding the question of how much linguistic features (as opposed to extra-linguistic ones, like GC) actually increase productivity. What is certain is that we still haven't broken the 10x productivity boost Brooks said wouldn't happen between 1986 and 1996, and it's been thirty years -- not ten -- and it seems like we won't do it in another decade.

The Open Data Delusion
Ben Franklin nicely explained what is wrong with that view (letter to Robert Morris, 1783-12-25):

---- begin quote ----

The Remissness of our People in Paying Taxes is highly blameable; the Unwillingness to pay them is still more so. I see, in some Resolutions of Town Meetings, a Remonstrance against giving Congress a Power to take, as they call it, the People's Money out of their Pockets, tho' only to pay the Interest and Principal of Debts duly contracted. They seem to mistake the Point. Money, justly due from the People, is their Creditors' Money, and no longer the Money of the People, who, if they withold it, should be compell'd to pay by some Law.

All Property, indeed, except the Savage's temporary Cabin, his Bow, his Matchcoat, and other little Acquisitions, absolutely necessary for his Subsistence, seems to me to be the Creature of public Convention. Hence the Public has the Right of Regulating Descents, and all other Conveyances of Property, and even of limiting the Quantity and the Uses of it. All the Property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it.

> Maybe you meant "write unit tests after" instead of "red green refactor tdd" doesn't help with the design of a good api?

No. My point was, if you want good API, aim specifically for that, not for
some semi-related proxy like tests.

And with good interface you may suddenly find out that you actually don't need
most of the tests. Tests are heavily overrated when it comes to anything but
what they were designed for (i.e. preventing regressions).
I think this is an important point. These costs are amongst the many things a judge should (does?) weigh up in sentencing. If she gets it wrong a sentence may be reviewed (made more harsh or lenient as appropriate) on appeal. However when sentencing is politicised, such as with mandatory sentences the judge's "judgement" is taken out of the equation. It may be appropriate to give a guy life for stealing batteries when a bigger picture is taken into account but that should be for the professionals (i.e the judiciary) to decide rather than politicians looking to buzz frightened people into voting for them.

It gives a completely and quantifiably awful quality for storage, archival, and typical media center purposes. Transcoding at high efficiency is not what Quick Sync is for. It is for streaming, where it is quite fine. This is known.

I'm not repeating cargo cult science; I benchmarked it because I didn't believe it either (which is good! be suspicious!) and it would have been quite handy for a startup I was developing. But alas. Looks like dogshit or costs too many bits.

Be careful not to confuse "looks fine to me" with quantifiable.
What a Chess Grandmaster Can Teach You About Solving Problems
Throwing the person into prison for life is obviously the wrong solution, it is not proportional to the crimes committed and it's a net negative for society.

Put the person on supervised release, put an ancle monitor on the person and put the person to community work, until they become a net benefit to society.

Other solutions may apply, but at least the above is better than three strikes.
I had an idea of tax that is Tax = Income - Log(Income). That would help make the positive loopbacks milder.

Well ... the big socialist experiments were not that successful in the last century. And the real growth of prosperity post WWII was due to a couple of hard to replicate factors. I guess it could be possible to mandate that no person could own more than 1/X of the national income. But won't pass unless after revolution.

Good point, although I didn't mean to lionize the father.

I don't think it matters if the father was left, right or center. Whatever the basis, he made a decision that will ultimately benefit society (which is the main goal, right?). Whatever the political stance, we are a society. Meaning the basic idea, which is that everyone contributes so that the whole benefits, should be of utmost importance.

> It will create jobs but not increase wealth at lower levels. Obviously not, because the whole reason companies do it is to avoid paying more to workers.

It will increase wealth because the companies will still be paying more than they are today - if two 40-hour workers were cheaper than one 80-hour worker today, they'd be hiring the two 40-hour workers already.

Additionally going from one unemployed person and one person with an 80-hour job to two people with 40-hour jobs is probably a win, even if there were no extra money.
The cap could still be high enough to motivate people, but effective enough that it limits the extreme hoarding we see now.
It costs society far more to imprison him for life. If we are optimizing for cost to society then it should be possible to find at least one other local minimum between the loss to society of a $5 petty theft and life imprisonment.
Depends on the position no? If you are looking for a developer sure. But if you are looking for an engineer, creative solutions are a plus.
> their community just seems to have so much unconstructive hatred towards anyone who ever says anything negative about bitcoin

As the parent stated, they have intense hatred for anyone with a different opinion, even the very people who developed bitcoin.

A dysfunctional community indeed, and this extends to the leadership. This is my main reason for having divested a lot of money out of bitcoin. I still believe it will succeed in becoming an important part of the international payments infrastructure, but it will be in spite of its own community and it will likely take a lot longer because of it.

I do believe that for cryptocurrencies, it is bitcoin or bust, though. If bitcoin burns you won't be able to sell the world on another one. Also, I don't believe that the thing other cryptocurrencies are 'fixing' are improvements, but rather detriments. Bitcoin is attractive because of the fixed supply and the decentralized structure, Satoshi brilliantly got those right, even though they are at the same time some of the hurdles to its success.
Even riding in a vehicle with modern tires over terrain like that can become violently bumpy. I can't even imagine doing it with wooden wheels. If the wagon is going at a walking pace already, I'd have done that too.
I guess people have different degrees of tolerance. But I am looking at anandtech's samples:

and I honestly can't see the difference between the QuickSync and regular H264 samples. I am sure there are some tiny subtleties that I miss and perhaps my screen is not good enough to render the difference, but if we are talking about that level of degradation, and unless you are really a purist, the 10x performance gain is really worth it.

At least in the UK, "murder" requires a proven intention to kill. Your example of a punch killing a person would fall under "manslaughter by unlawful and dangerous act" but not murder.
There are other factors preventing labor movement, for example : education. Imagine if a lot of new jobs get automated away with robotics and computers. It would be very hard for the displaced workers to take up new positions that open up in tech or finance fields as they may require many years of intense study.
actually you would shard than, which of course is possible with rds aswell. since you mostly shard at the application level. there are some users that use extensions but I guess calling the support of aws will get these extension in your rds instances.
I have been through 3 acquisitions.

They always tell you that nothing will change and this isn't really a lie exactly, as the person who says it genuinely believes it. But in a year's time that person has moved on, been promoted, busy with another acquisition, whatever, and now you report to an established and powerful manager in the old company, who doesn't see why you are special or should be treated differently than his or her existing staff. In fact they probably actively resent you; the company buying you at all they take as a signal that existing staff weren't "good enough". At that point, you are screwed.

They say there is good E2E encryption. Great claims require great proof.

It's not just methods starting with test, it's methods starting with test in a subclass of Test. It's a simple, working convention. Conventions are good, not pretty bad.

See this seems reasonable.. however I was once playing Battlefield Hardline raving about how awesome the camera's were for whatever I was doing and was then presented with security camera ads shortly after while browsing Facebook on my desktop. I have no interest or need for security cameras or even any reason to source information about them online. I double checked my web history and couldn't find anything related either, plus I had not had any conversations about cameras on Facebook. I remarked about how creepy it was over Team Speak and had 2 other people comment about similar experiences recently (at that time) as well. They claimed the only device they had near them was a phone at the time and the conversation was spontaneous.

Almost every company in the Bitcoin space at the moment is doing something that's diametrically opposed to the core innovations behind Bitcoin. A good follow-up to your payment card example: its long since been possible to do peer-to-peer, decentralized cryptocurrency exchange without a third-party with more than one kind of smart contract to allow this, yet because centralized exchanges are easier to build and more profitable to run – they have become the norm -- and the exchange just ends up "iterating" on security ;)

The Bitcoin eco-system is full of double-speak and immense cognitive dissonance. It's a weird community where people purport to be about decentralization, freedom, and security, when in reality the people support almost the exact opposite by preferring centralized services with almost no individual control or security. Most people don't even seem to notice that the FinTech services that are run in the Bitcoin space have essentially become as bad as the banks that Bitcoin sought to replace, and I don't mean bank as in "your own bank, Bitcoin (tm)" – more the kind that opportunistically exploits you for a profit because you have no better options.

Worst still: at least actual banks tend to have some amount of oversight in how they're run, with some level of recoverability if something goes wrong. With centralized, cryptocurrency FinTech the operator is essentially saying to a crowd of hackers how much semi-untraceable, pseudo-anonymous assets they have to irrevocably steal and since anyone can start a FinTech company based on blockchains -- we've even had some companies that were run by people barely out of high school. Truly, the fact that no one even questions this as a security model for FinTech in the Bitcoin space is absurd. But they don't: which is why its easy for me to predict at least 5 major FinTech hacks in the Bitcoin space for 2017. I'll update this post when they happen.

... which is just as problematic, ethically speaking, as socialised corporate losses (e.g. bank bailouts).

I don't see how anyone can be in favour of one, but not the other. In practice, though, most people favour one or the other, but not neither of both.
If FUSE semantics would be the same between systems, this would be a lot easier. But I'm not sure how that is possible, FUSE it too leaky, it exposes too much of the semantics of the kernel VFS layer, which is different between kernels.
It would be interesting to hear the motivation of why they did this. My own experience is moving the opposite direction (from master-slave self-managed to RDS master-replica).

I wrote up my experiences and the reasons for the switch here: https://www.theguardian.com/info/developer-blog/2016/feb/04/... .
Behind WhatsApp's E2E encryption is the technology from Signal / Open Whisper Systems, which is developed in the open, the work on WhatsApp being done in partnership with them, see: https://whispersystems.org

Of course, it's not totally trustworthy, because in the end it's still a proprietary app, distributed as a binary blob, connecting to proprietary servers, for which you can't have access to the source code and in spite of any well meaning partnerships, they can always push an update that undoes all of that.

But you know, at this point that's still better and more trustworthy than other mainstream alternatives. So now I have WhatsApp installed.
The autoencoder converts an image to a reduced code then back to the original image. The idea is similar to lossy compression, but it's geared specifically for the dataset that it's trained on.

According to the defaults in the code, it uses float32 arrays of the following sizes:

image: 144 x 256 x 3 = 110,592
code: 200

Note that the sequence of codes that the movie is converted to could possibly be further compressed.
