Wasn't in the budget to build the park and likely wouldn't get approval for funding if it were. The alternative of an unfunded park is no park.

The tickets from people ignoring signs is also additional revenue to the town/state so there is some financial motivation to not spend money on a gate (and staff responsible for locking/opening the gate).
How's it run though?

It's true that the Kleisli category gives a composition law from a monad, but let's not lose sight: the point isn't whether there is a conceivable way to compose things, but whether a monad is just a monoid of functions under composition.

Monads are like a monoid at the type level plus a bunch of coherence rules. For every type a, there is a "composition" m (m a) -> m a and a "unit" a -> m a. (Compare with a monoid, where there is a composition m x m -> m and a unit {1} -> m.) Also, the composition must be natural in the sense that whenever there is a map f :: a -> b then you have a bunch of "commuting squares": the composition m (m a) -> m (m b) -> m b must equal m (m a) -> m a -> m b and the composition a -> m a -> m b must equal a -> b -> m b. (Some of these maps are fmap f or fmap (fmap f).)

The naturality thing is important and shows up quite a lot, and category theory was invented to understand naturality. It's sort of a higher higher order functional programming.
Given the claim in the title they talk about "men and women". So the sample size is small because:

1) zero variance in location

2) very little variance in age (all undergraduate) (variances of the ages: 1.33 to 7.19, so 70% of their samples all were in two age ranges, one 3 year wide, one 14 year wide)

3) cultural variation : essentially zero (?) they didn't even bother to check AFAICT

Agreed. Though the crazy thing is that they can do both simultaneously. If this is what they intend, it's a brilliant move on Amazon's part. It may very well be that in the not too distant future we'll all be using Amazon bucks in the Amazon company town (the entire world?)

OK that might be a bit too sci-fi. Still, interesting to think about....
That is so odd to me. Why would you pursue (platonic) relationships with men if there's no attraction? Are you only attracted to women? (I'm assumig you're male.)

Or are you talking about sexual attraction? Do you view women as only sexual? I am simply trying to figure out what men provide that women can or do not.

Personally (as a man) I can't make heads or tails out of how to interact with other men outside of work; I am precisely the opposite of you.

About 1/2 of my friends are female. Over the years, I've had a few of my expressions of interest rejected. However, I've had quite a few female friends "give up because I didn't get the message they were interested". I've been abused, called stupid, asked if I was gay, etc by female friends who were interested in me. I once had to ask a mutual (female) friend what happened because I couldn't get a word out of one woman. "You can't be THAT dumb, can you?".

I call bs on this one. I've had too many instances of being explicitly hit on (about 1 in 3 of good female friends at a guess) to believe the "women aren't attracted to male friends".

However, I have plenty of female friends who I just like because they are amazing people.

Yes, I can get electricity from a different provider, or buy a new handle, or indeed get a new garage door opener fitted.

The problem is that a cloud-controlled garage door opener creates an unnecessary dependency on the continued existence - and good behaviour - of the vendor, unless one thinks that being able to open it from anywhere in the world is an essential feature of a garage door opener.

I thought Starship Troopers was a great movie. It was a satire in the same style as the original Robocop.

Verhoven did not share in Heinlein's militaristic vision of the future where only citizens are granted the right to vote. The movie so blatantly portrayed humans as fascist that Neil Patrick Harris was wearing an SS uniform.
If your goal is to make money, don't allow yourself to write a single line of code until you have talked to people not related to you (and not close friends with you), heard at least two of them independently describe facing the same business problem, and heard both of them say "yes, that would help!" (or better "yes, I would buy that!") in response to your proposed solution.

Finding a real business problem and a real solution is what matters. The tech is just an implementation detail you work out later.

Two Projects

1st Problem: Went through a round of interviews a while back and was talking with friends about the feedback or lack thereof and thought, wouldn't it be cool if you could practice and get feedback from someone who actually does this and made . . .

Project: http://site-1146624-6257-8128.strikingly.com/

2nd Problem: Grew up playing Star Control 2 which was open-sourced as the urquan masters. However, the project seems to have lost some momentum and I feel like (on Windows at least) finding all of its exact dependencies is not easy.

Project: I've been porting a fork of UQM (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/) to Windows 10 and SDL 2 (still private) and playing with VCPKG at the same time.
Fast-forward this by 20 years, and the government organization or non-profit has accrued heavy benefits, wildly optimistic pension plan obligations, and multiple layers of bureaucracy.

As exemplified by any random California town crushed by pension obligations to prison guards, police, firefigthers, teachers or just a public employee pension system.
that's not true - the government has the responsibility to use the least costly qualified bid. if the government of innisfil feels they aren't qualified to build their own uber competitor (and they probably aren't) then self-building isn't an option on the table.
As I said above, it is definitely intentional. It has the same style as the original Robocop
5-10%, realistically, with some very informal testing. Not really a particularly big deal.

Don’t remember enough specifics of VoltDB’s partitioning/parallelization details (or its academic H-Store predecessor), but that wouldn’t surprise me.

VoltBD’s focus on all in-memory processing and general OLTP workloads (so-called ”NewSQL”) is taking a different point in the design/problem space though.
This really is an excellent suggestion. I would add on to it to also talk with local governments as they are increasingly wanting to provide mobile digital services to citizens.

Onto this I will add a suggestion to consider volunteering your services. If you do an outstanding job as a volunteer, then when the organization gets some budget, you'll be first in line to do the work.
Perhaps there is a gap in the market for an independent rendezvous service that IoT devices and their controllers can connect to each other over.

Rather than baking in a dependency on the vendor of the specific device not going out of business, not stopping support for the device you bought, and not taking a dislike to you, you could depend upon an independent service that all (or at least many) IoT devices use.
As others' comments, it's totally different maintaining a successful business from launching one. The decision should be based on what value the language can provide.

I'm in a very python heavy company, and maintains the python architecture that are being used on hundreds of servers. The ugly part(lack of restriction, multiprocessing, distribution) quickly shows why it's not suited for very large system.

But I'm curious at which point, we would be so annoyed as to decide to rewrite the whole stuff.
> if nobody controls the system, then anyone has just as much influence as their peers. This means that systems will have to be put in place to give some power over others in order to control the community.

As time goes on I'm beginning think that no matter what the original design of the platform was they will all inevitably regress into something like IRC.

The rules will be changed so that groups can split of or filter and focus on some specific area to try to keep the discussion on topic and productive. And inevitably there will be some group that captures control of that group and turns it into a dictatorship.

Dissenters will start a new group if they can or leave the platform. Any other design will just become so noisy and unproductive that it turns into a dumpster fire.

The reason why HN is not a total shit show is because they sometimes put down the hammer and knock out off topic discussion from the core set of topics that revolve around the practice of programming.

> Going one step further, I would propose an invite system.

Some of the most productive people who make the best posts are hermits. There people who rarely check in to social media to see whats going on and have little or no friends they could ask for a invite.

And on the other hand some of the most crap people are online all the time and have huge networks and can get an invite to where ever they want.
a population of 36000 and an area of ~260 square km. definitely not a problem of congestion.
JupyterHub isn't really setup to do a 'dashboard' style web application - is purely intended for interactive use. The design choices made reflect this.

> why can't I just get the keys from them, and verify that all of my other friends agree?

You can, that's what a .onion address is. This isn't too great for regular users; .tor addresses make it easier to work with. There's an observation here that people are already trusting google and onion directories to non maliciously give them the right onion address, this is trying to spread out that trust to a blockchain.

The nice thing about a blockchain based model is that while you need to trust the network to be sane, in case someone tries to use lots of computational power to break past this, targeted attacks are still not possible, the attack (redirecting a name) will be visible to the entire network.
> That mindset seems to have changed.

I dunno. State schools are only sometimes and somewhat cheaper than private counterparts, USPS is sometimes better in terms of price + speed, but many times it loses to UPS and FedEx, and anyone extolling the virtue of government-run service should get an option to change their medical provider to a VA hospital and report back in a few years.

> ...but at a time when 5.6m Ethiopians need emergency food aid because of a drought, it seems an odd priority

As other commenters mentioned it's an odd argument - putting it into perspective I understand the writers point

It's not just drought that's crippling the country; huge youth unemployment, wealth [little of it] distribution & the government itself are some of the major issues

With the state of emergency being extended for another 4 months & Internet censorship at all time high - space program is an unlikely prioritized endeavor imo

A random sample of 400 is enough to give a good estimate, regardless of the size of the population.

This is a non-intuitive result from statistics. The standard deviation - the average expected error - does not actually depend on the population size. It could be 7 billion or 7 hundred. The standard deviation only depends on the sample size, and is O(1/sqrt(n)).

In this case, with n=400, we have O(0.05). If we are testing a random variable with two values, then the true deviation is less than 0.5, so the expected error is 0.025 - we expect no more than 2.5% of mistake. That's very good!

(The bigger question is whether the sample is random or not.)
The NFL eliminated the "black-out" rule back in 2014. All home games are available on local TV.
There is something to be said for taking this route. Establishing a new market is really hard, expanding an existing market is much easier. I think its fair to say at this point First mover advantage does not necessarily lock up the market. There are just so many examples. The benefit is you can look at their mistakes. Find a small niche they've neglected, and start iterating.
So if they pocketed the $50 million or did share buybacks or similar you'd be ok, but you have an ideological problem with sports and will cancel over them?

Unfortunately, the Amazon TNF package is only for the games that will also be available over the air. NFL Network games will still require cable/satellite.
They already have a bus system built from scratch (as well as some metal parts, I assume). It's too costly: "Council considered the options for fixed-route bus service during the 2016 Budget deliberations ($270,000 annually for one bus and $610,000 for two buses), but it was determined that they would be too costly for the limited level of service that they would provide"

But now you're saying they should buy vehicles, hire drivers, hire an iOS dev, an Android dev, a back-end coder, an ops team to watch the servers 24/7, a coder to handle payment back-end, a general manager to run the whole thing, pay AWS or GCP or a bare metal hoster for the servers, hire customer support to handle issues, pay Google (or Bing) maps commercial license fee, cover gas, maintenance, tires for all of the aforementioned vehicles and still have a lot of money left over from that fat $610,000 check to justify this project?
If you have two logical views of information, say people and their jobs. Imagine the attributes of people change over time. Also the attributes of their jobs change over time. It's possible to delete a person record from the person table. What if a Job record references that person and it intersects with the period of time that has been removed from the person. Suddenly the data would be nonsensical. I don't ask this to be obtuse, but when I see joins supported in sql on a time oriented database, I assume some position is being taken on this.

Basically, does the database have an opinion on time oriented data consistency?
>a two hour film isn't enough time to do more than a superficial examination of some philosophical concept or another.

You only need a superficial touch on a subject to intrigue someone who is interested to fall further down the rabbit hole.

Personally I can say that the 95 movie introduced a child-me to philosophical ideas about self; and that snow-balled into hours in the books exploring the ideas deeper.

Two hours isn't a long time to teach a broad concept in any in-depth manner, but it initiated an exploration of philosophy that spanned many thousands of hours for me, and I credit the Oshii film for having whatever it took to hook a very young kid into some very heavy ideas.

He's probably concerned that going forward a certain large percentage of his "Prime" subscription will go toward sports, just like cable:

https://consumerist.com/2014/08/05/espn-accounts-for-more-th...

...I doubt Amazon will get that bad, but it's definitely a good reason to currently avoid cable. Really, for people who don't like sports, the notion that watching people throw a ball around costs vastly more than the other channels is baffling. I really don't want some heavyweight imbeciles getting my money when I want to watch news/movies/comedy/etc.
Using there own service within their terms and conditions is being "an underhand reprobate".

They could just obey their own customers white-listing, or over-ride blacklisting for domains that act appropriately.

So you really think that having a domain of 10+ years standing that doesn't send unsolicited emails at all is "not behaving like a first class citizen"?

If someone in your ISPs /26 sends spam from a different IP and using a different domain, that totally means you're a massive spammer who's ruining the internet??

I could of course change ISP but which of the 15+ yo ISPs will have a spammer somewhere in their IP block, no way to tell.

So the only option left is pay to be able to send email to MS addresses. And you're fine with that? It's all our fault for replying to emails?
Well in NYC we washed all of our dishes by hand because dishwashers were really hard to come by (for us).

It's not the hand washing that bothered me, but using the same tired wash rag or wand that has accumulated soap or old water that got to us. Dish washers do an amazing job at washing dishes more sanitarily. I have always wanted one and am glad that we have one (and a garbage disposal) now.

(Both of these things are standard with most apartments and homes in the DFW.)
