> Plea: $5,000 / 5 = $1,000/hour
Trial $20,000 / 50 = $400/hour

The challenge for most lawyers is keeping a full pipeline of work. Unless you’re a household name, you do a lot of unpaid work to get each engagement, and often have downtime between engagements. So it’s vastly preferable to have fewer engagements that are more work each. Just look at the numbers above. Say plea bargaining became illegal. Even if the number of prosecutions dropped by a factor of four (highly unrealistic), lawyers would still come out ahead by earning the same money in fewer engagements.

> but not too many of them are complaining about the current system

They have an advocacy organization that does that. The National Association of Criminal Defense lawyers advocates vigorously for changing the system. E.g. https://www.nacdl.org/reports/misdemeanor/

> Millions of people each year are now processed for misdemeanors. In a 2009 report titled “Minor Crimes, Massive Waste,” the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers described a system characterized by “the ardent enforcement of crimes that were once simply deemed undesirable behavior and punished by societal means or a civil infraction punishable by a fine.”
An earlier version of this was posted 5 days ago at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15162530 . My comment from then still applies. I wrote the following three paragraphs.

This is a lightweight comment which draws from one published paper, a blog, and a NYT opinion piece. [This new version has 2 more references, but not to any research.]

Its sense of incredulity is no further advanced than the opposition to pair programming in the 1990s, when it was one of the practices promoted by XP. It does not, as I hoped, tie together the decades of research studies on the topic.

For a much more detailed summary of the topic, much more along the lines of what I wanted to read here, see the chapter by Laurie Williams on the topic in "Making Software: What Really Works, and Why We Believe It".
The one thing missing from most comments I see here is price parity and equality. I've lived in Ontario (government liquor stores) and now live in Alberta (private liquor stores).

The big perk about Ontario liquor is that it's the same price no matter what store you walk into. Doesn't matter if you are in a small town of 1000 people with one liquor store or in Toronto with 500 stores.

In Alberta, if you are in a small town and your only option is Joe's Liquor Store, you're going to pay $55 for 24 bottles of Canadian that go for $20 less at the Safeway liquor store in a city. And in actuality, you can pay $55 for that case in the middle of Calgary if it's a mom and pop shop.

I suspect the same will be true for marijuana. Same prices regardless of what LCBO you walk into.
If you wish to take issue with the fact I called a political figure a douche, fine.

But I will not refrain from using such language in the future when I feel it's appropriate.

Although, if you want to declare I started what can hardly be described as a flame war just by stating an opinion, you should just delete my account now.

Seriously.
First, things don't become legal precedent until someone sues and a judge rules on it (and preferably the ruling is upheld on appeal).

Second, what makes you think FSF/SLFC have standing to sue Canonical in this matter in the first place? Unless the rights of the FSF or SLFC themselves are infringed, they can't sue, even if they happen to have strong opinions on this matter. Either Oracle, some other OpenZFS contributor, or a Linux kernel contributor would have to be the ones bringing suit here - and of all these parties, probably only Oracle would actually want to do so.
Sure. See: https://www.justice.gov/opcl/social-security-number-usage
Before you bother to look at all this, you have to ask: why would a person's orientation (or identity?) be evident in their pictures, or their face?

This is the fundamental assumption the paper makes- and then they go about "proving" it by training an algorithm.

That's all shades of biased. If you're starting from a premise that's very likely to be rooted in social prejudice, you're equally likely to get results that confirm the same, but are entirely wrong.

There's no point in trying to reason rationally about work that's already so far past the gates of unreason. This is completely unnecessary, completely pointless research that is most probably flawed in ways that are not evident to someone simply reading the paper.
Might depend on your age group. If you were (un)lucky enough to be of home buying age during the 2005ish period, you could get a "NINJA" (No Income? No Job? Approved!) loan. This let you sneak around PMI and even having a down payment by using a 80% LTV conventional 1st mortgage, and a HELOC acting as 2nd mortgage based in order to reach full purchase price. Add in a 10 year interest only period, and you're good to go. What could go wrong?!

Good on Virginia. When I voted there they had pretty modern and well run machines in my county with some sort of printout to confirm that you vote was cast. Voting is a messy process, but really important, and really important to have the counting be transparent and beyond reproach.

Forgive me if I'm making incorrect assumptions about your background, but usually you learn math from books of varying degrees of difficulty which naturally force you to become accustomed to various kinds of notational conventions.

You wouldn't try to learn math from papers until you've built that foundation (unless you have access to a tutor/mentor), at which point the notation usually shouldn't be an issue.
It's really nice to be able to throw a string at a function and have that function compare it to a literal value using == instead of strcmp - and oh yeah, someone was just about to reply saying I should always use strncmp for extra productivity loss.

Who uses straight C? C++ and C# have operator overloading. You can overload any of the operators for a class and get sane semantics for addition, subtraction, equality, etc.
That's not true. I cancelled a ride less than 1 minute after I booked it and was charged the cancellation fee.

I've thought for a while now that charities should do something similar and get in on the wealth signalling market. Not so much cars but I think fashion would be a great industry for them to take on. Instead of dropping $200 on a shirt and feeling guilty, the rich person gets to drop $200 on a shirt and feel good about it.

That has nothing to do with the ethical impetus. Plea deals are baked in to prevent procedural prosecution.
It is a big deal, because I (my last employer) spent ten(s?) of thousands of dollars on VMware so that I would not have to put infrastructure nodes on bare metal. They created vSAN so it would be so. (Modern infrastructure I'm sure has better solutions than vSAN, but it worked great for us, and I'm out of there now. We never honestly needed that until we had large Windows servers to take care of. I personally have a distaste and distrust for Windows servers, but when the new owner came he was the boss, and that was where they were invested. (Yeah, let's go with invested...))

Some of those infrastructure nodes were Windows machines, and (most) of them were Linux VMs. I have not used Mesos yet (I am using Kubernetes in dev only, but my org has not drank any of the kool-aid yet), it kind of sounds like I want Mesos (and Marathon?) for the same reasons that I wanted VMware when I had only one Windows server and I literally couldn't live without it when I suddenly had dozens more Windows servers.

(I heard that OpenShift will soon run Windows containers.

I can't imagine it will be long after that before Kubernetes at-large also does.)

I'm not sure I need Mesos, Kubernetes does an awful lot, but it still seems like Kubernetes Admin user could royally fuck things up for me on a multi-tenant system that I admin (I learned the ways from OpenShift), if it's just Kubernetes. But on Mesos, maybe I can get some guarantees that I couldn't without it...

I'm not sure how much anyone has a "need" for Mesos. If I understand exactly what makes it different from Kubernetes, it's one of those things that you just kind of layer on top so that when your suspenders fall right off for some reason, your belt actually can still keep your pants up.

I honestly don't know any more about Mesos than what I've been told, but as a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy I think it could actually be for me. What say you to that?
>I suspect the same will be true for marijuana. Same prices regardless of what LCBO you walk into.

You'd be surprised how self regulating the market is for marijuana though. People always want to make the alcohol analogy, but it's a totally different thing. Marijuana has a long tradition of home cultivation and use, as well as a thriving well established black market which will always pick up the slack. Prices tend to be very stable across the board in California at least. Without any government run outlets the price is the same across the entire state.
Contrary to a language like C or C++, where the compiler produces machine language from the source and then goes out of the picture,

I use C#. When you create a Linq expression, you get type safety and it "compiles to" an expression tree that is converted to its runnable form at runtime -- in my case a Sql statement, a MongoQuery, or C# code. It really comes in handy. Theoretically I could change my backing Store from Mongo/C# driver to Sql Server/EF without changing any of the queries. I do this all of the time when unit testing, I substitute an in memory list for a database table and still get complete type safety.
Police have use of force guidelines. It would be good for concerned citizens to pay attention to and advocate that those guidelines be written in such a way that it's clear when each level of force is truly warranted or not. I tend to agree that shocking someone is a bit excessive for mere property damage, but I don't know all the details about this.

The situation would change a lot if, e.g., they were tasering someone already restrained as a punishment, or conversely if they were tasering someone who ran into a dead end, then turned to attack them. Given that the details in the article were quite thin, I'd want to see more evidence before rendering judgement.
The FSF/SFLC who are the authors and therefore guardians of the GPL maintain, publicly, that Canonical is in violation of its license. And yet, no legal action, no cease and desist has been sent.

In UK law, failure to enforce a claim or right is taken as reasonable assertion that the owner doesn't see the right as conscionable.

For better or worse, the FSF/SFLC is risking, through inaction which allows Canonical off the hook for claimed non-compliant behaviour, of having the soi-disant 'virality' of the GPL potentially ruled unconscionable (in Europe).
> a really really good description of how to actually teach yourself this stuff on your own.

Places to start would be Barbara Oakley's Learning How to Learn and Cal Newport's Study Hacks blog, which has actionable advice like the following: http://calnewport.com/blog/2008/11/25/case-study-how-i-got-t...

You would also likely benefit from scheduling review of stuff you already understand with tools like Anki.

Beyond how to study any one thing, the most important thing is studying the right things in the right order starting at a level that is perhaps too easy so as to make sure your foundation is strong and not the source of your difficulties. You can more or less recreate this on your own through online resources and following along typical undergraduate mathematics curricula. There are often dedicated problem books with solutions for most common subjects even at the advanced undergraduate level.

CO2 emissions of one car are utterly inconsequential
This is the absolute worst kind of unscientific nonsense. You have no argument against the paper whatsoever. You are just rejecting it because you don't like the conclusion.

>why would a person's orientation (or identity?) be evident in their pictures, or their face?

Because sexual orientation is biologically determined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_and_sexual_orientation This isn't new or even controversial. Identical twins are much more likely than chance to have the same sexual orientation. This paper would seem to prove this theory conclusively.

>If you're starting from a premise that's very likely to be rooted in social prejudice, you're equally likely to get results that confirm the same, but are entirely wrong.

No this is how science works. You have a theory, you do an experiment to gather evidence for or against it. This paper is super strong evidence for their theory. All science works like this.

Just because someone uses your license, doesn't give you ownership rights or a legal cause of action regarding the code they licensed. What matters is who wrote OpenZFS, not who wrote the GPL.
To me, this really needs to be benchmarked. The advantage of the gap buffer architecture is that it is simple; opening and closing the gap should be very fast. I believe that moving a contiguous memory block (to close or relocate the gap) in a source file should take far less than a millisecond. Fast memmove implementations take advantage of a number of hardware optimizations and should run over 2GB per second by my estimation.

Multiple cursors don't require more bytes to be moved than working with two cursors, it just divides the distance from the first to the last cursor into smaller blocks. The total number of bytes moved remains the same. 100 cursors in a 10MB file requires 100 blocks averaging less than 100KB in size to be moved, and moving this number of bytes (that will be less than 10MB) will take roughly .005 seconds. That would mean maybe .005 seconds of latency per keystroke while using 100 multiple cursors in a large file would come from the gap buffer.

The benefits of the gap buffer are simplicity and the concomitant reliability that can come from a simpler design. Low level operations inside the editor like multi-byte characters, memory-mapped I/O, memory allocation, regular-expression searching, incremental backups, diffs etc. are all easier with the ability to close the gap and just work on a single contiguous block.

I've heard the argument before that editors should be using more complex data structures, but the simplicity and additional benefits of cache friendly designs make me hesitant to accept this reasoning without actual benchmarks.

The first listed program to add up all the integers from 1 to the scanned number wouldn't compile under GCC for me and the error was that "i" undeclared (first use in this function). I had to declare "i" as an "int" to make it work. It looks like it accepted the declaration in the top with num and result or within the for loop.
Since Ripple control their coin, they could effectively do a stock split... change the code to give all current ripple holders 1,000,000 coins for each one that they own now.

"merely to prevent poor people from wearing clothes that resembled the clothes rich people wore"

Or Tyrian purple. Quoting Wikipedia: The production of Tyrian purple was tightly controlled in Byzantium and was subsidized by the imperial court, which restricted its use for the colouring of imperial silks.[7] Later (9th century)[8] a child born to a reigning emperor was said to be porphyrogenitos, "born in the purple".

How would the government convince people that a purple car is a sign of luxury, and thus worth paying the sumptuary tax?

The "Made in Italy" mark (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Italy ) is more strict than the EU laws, which allow shoes which are only finished in France/Italy to be "made in" those countries.

If people were interested in real authenticity, as this article suggests, then why aren't they looking for such marks already? Or are they?

That is a question you can ask https://math.stackexchange.com/

Unlike mathoverflow, it is meant for every kind of math question below research level.

(Regarding $\to$ vs $\mapsto$, I think of it as type-level vs lambda expression. I think you can find it in any introductory abstract algebra book that assumes you still need to learn a thing or two about functions.)

In my experience, it seems the usual way people in the math community resolve these issues is to ask an expert, or at least a knowledgeable grad student.

In principle that's true...

In reality 1. You can be shot by a cop even if you do not pose a real threat (they just need to claim they though you might have a gun, simple) 2. People are routinely kept in jail for unreasonably long time because their families cannot afford bail often on things charges are dropped for later 3. Ever hear of civil forfeiture?

The whole thing is a nice story that we love to repeat to each other. Maybe it was easier to accept that during the cold war when the other guys were worse and news traveled slowly (or didn't). It's pretty apparently that isn't true given the quick news cycle... and opening any US history book.

Since ZFS isn't under the GPL I think copyright holder(s) of the Linux kernel, not the copyright holder(s) of OpenZFS, would have to sue Canonical.
I'm not one to write negative reviews of open source tech. Typically, everyone has skin in the game for one reason or the other, and diversity in tech is positively great.

But Mesosphere DC/OS is purely advertising and marketing driven.

Their "Docker support" simply means they use normal Mesos worker processes to shell out to the Docker CLI across a cluster. They tightly wrap Hashicorp Vault and label it their own solution. Marathon has terrible support for security and application deployments geared toward enterprise teams. Hell, deployments can write over each other's network volumes and setting IAM roles can be sniffed straight out of unencrypted HTTPS headers. Don't get me started with Minuteman, Mesos DNS, meshing IPTables rules, and the hundreds of hacks around missing IP-per-container/network virtualization that even Solaris has had for the past 20 years (Crossbow anyone?).

The only thing people want right now is AWS in private/hybrid cloud. All the big movers are getting off AWS. If not, they're either too small to matter or are positioning their "cloud partnership" as a buy-out to Ma'Amazon.
