He pled guilty to a criminal offence, but that offence is at the lower range. (Assault covers a range, from assault at the low end (doesn't require physical contact), then assault by battery (requires physical contact) to ABH then GBH.

I think he's going to get a suspended sentence.

He's got a warning from an interim hearing from MPTS, and you can see the warning on the GMC lists.

Does this work?

Here's the text of the warning:

> In August 2013 and on more than one other occasion Mr Bramhall initialled patients’ livers using an argon beam coagulator. This conduct does not meet with the standards required of a doctor. It risks bringing the profession into disrepute and it must not be repeated. The required standards are set out in Good Medical Practice and associated guidance. In this case, paragraph 47 and 65 of Good Medical Practice are particularly relevant. 47. You must treat patients as individuals and respect their dignity and privacy. 65. You must make sure that your conduct justifies your patients’ trust in you and the public’s trust in the profession. Whilst this failing in itself is not so serious as to require any restriction on Mr Bramhall's registration, it is necessary in response to issue this formal warning.

"I imagine most people with 401k's do have access to credit. Am I wrong?"

Yes. Low-paying jobs at Wal-mart and Lowes and some gas stations offer a 401k. The contributions are tiny because the checks are tiny but the company usually contributes as well. These folks aren't as likely to have access to credit.

I'll put this as well: If you are looking to take $500 from your 401k outside of those groups, I'm gonna guess things have gone horribly wrong. Getting a new credit card might be a bit tough because your credit is probably already showing the hurt.
I had a battery powered one that randomly triggered in the small hours. I'm very sensitive to loud high-pitched sounds, so I woke up with a fright that must have aged me 20 years. Tore that thing off the ceiling, nearly pulling a chunk out with it. Landlord was very unhappy with me doing that, but it was right over my bed.

If I'd had a baseball bat or wooden sword, I'd have smashed that thing free like a piñata!

Rust has no issues sharing state across thread without jumping too much hoops, as long as you can make the borrow checker believe that only a single thread at a time gets to mutate state and when a piece of memory is accessible from multiple threads it's not mutable.
Also: if you want to see real corruption, just take a closer look at how regular small businesses operate. Befriend an employee of a grocery store. Or at a company selling lightbulbs, furniture, etc. I guarantee you from personal experience, your moral compass will go haywire from the stories you'll hear.

(Also, you'll unfortunately discover that a subset of customers are total assholes. These days I believe that working in a customer service, or other field that has you interact with a wide variety of people on a daily basis, is the best way to ultimately lose faith in humanity.)
> What if your liver developed a problem due to getting initialed?

He only initialed livers as part of a wider set of markings that surgeons normally make. If the initials are going to be a problem those other normal marks would also be a problem.
At my previous job we practically exclusively used Activerecord (the Ruby version), we had maybe half a dozen queries that were hard coded SQL.

We also managed to switch from MySQL to Postgres with about 1 minute of downtime on a 16 GB database.

Well, the adjacency matrix I used as an example is orthogonal, but they don't have to be. Any matrix with 1's and 0's can be interpreted as an unweighted adjacency matrix for an undirected graph (if the matrix is symmetric) or directed graph (if it's not symmetric). For example, here's an adjacency matrix that's not an orthogonal matrix:

[ 1 0 ]
[ 1 1 ]
Cooking rice on the stove is not the easiest thing ever. First you need to boil the water, then turn it down, then wait X minutes, then turn the stove off.

With a rice cooker you turn it on and forget about it; it always comes out perfect. When you do that every day, it's so very easily worth it.

No, it wasn't. Surgeons have to mark livers to show areas they're going to work on. These are normally temporary markings and heal over time. When this surgeon made marks he also added his initials. He did this to one patient, and the marks did not heal, and another surgeon found the marks.

I'm not trying to defend him, but it wasn't intended to be a permanent marking.

15% of those are in poverty. This doesn't let you save up money. One in two americans are low income. [1]. I'd not call these number exact, but close enough. Much of the group you describe only suck at saving because their income sucks. $50-$100 extra a month doesn't make it easy to save up $500 for an emergency. Literally months. Months with nothing happening. Not a flat tire, not a doctor's appointment. Nothing breaking.

This doesn't explain everyone in your category, though, so a portion suck at saving.

Dedicated infrastructure for autonomous driving is a non-starter. However, allowing full hands-off on certain roads, perhaps only in good weather, would still be a feature that people would spend a lot of money for. It's not clear at what point people will be legally allowed to watch a video on their commute but we can probably see a path to getting there.
It's called "Thatcherism" for a reason.
I'm pretty sure that SqlAlchemy has caused more grief and frustration than any other single library. After all if I didn't know about the excellence of SqlAlchemy, maybe I wouldn't get so cross when I have to do anything non-trivial with the Django ORM ;)

Joking aside, SwlAlchemy is very impressive software, and zzzeek deserves all this praise and more. Every time that there's one of these anti-ORM articles I feel like SqlAlchemy pre-emtively addressed all the substantive criticisms in its flexible, well layered, design.

(And in the interests of fairness, Django's ORM is also very good at making simple things simple).

I've heard this before but I'm not sure I believe it. They have a pretty huge incentive to make it seem like they aren't making a lot of profit, and it is easy for them to do so (just like Hollywood accounting).
Culture is biologic, that is my point.
Close. But no.

For you to be caught with clause C the prosecutor just needs to prove the gun wasn't manufactured in your state. Example you own a glock pistol (popular), what you would find is fine print like: "Glocks for sale in the U.S. are made in Austria and assembled in Smyrna GA." Reading that as a defendant would be depressing since it extremely easy to prove - just getting a fax from the company would end it. Then if you look at ammunition, "9mm - 115 Grain FMJ - Tula - 500 Rounds" (as a popular example) you would see fine print such as: "TulAmmo is sourced from eastern countries like Russia and uses wartime-proven methods of manufacturing and material selection in order to make ammunition as affordable and practical as possible".

An attorney's website (i suppose he has experience):
"If the firearm in question was manufactured in a state other than the state in which possession or receipt occurred, a jury may, but are not required to, find that it was transported across a state line." [i]

[i] http://dnadefense.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view...

In all honesty, I think federal prosecutors wont really care about (C) since proving it takes about 10 minutes with a fax machine and they have NEVER seen a case where the gun (and components) and bullets were manufactured in the same state. If they were manufactured in your state I would consider yourself one lucky [expletive].
I pay £11 per day for my 35 min commute into central Edinburgh (I work from home a lot so season tickets don't make much sense) and given that parking in Edinburgh would be £25 a day £11 a day looks like a bargain given that the station I commute from in Fife is 10 mins drive away from where I live and has free parking always available.
That's the defence he used. Something like "this is a work of art, and I'm proud of the skill and care I took"
Sometimes the fastest way is slow.

You don't need to "read fiction fast" you need to slow down and enjoy it, internalize the universes that are created by it.

Reading fiction allows you to think about non-fiction differently, i.e. you gain new perspectives by also reading non-ficion.

That's at least my experience.

Because a human driver slows down in order to account for their reaction time and ability to continuously track multiple objects around them. Basically, they know that by the time they realize the kid is about to get run over, it will be too late to stop. Computers are already much better at tracking things and reacting to them with millisecond precision.

(That's not to mention the usual disregard for traffic rules - and thus basic safety - an average human driver has, which other commenters have touched on.)

> If someone were to reveal that these exchanges were trading against their customers, are we sure that the authorities would be unwilling to press charges?

Based on what ? Because some people might think that is immoral ? Trading in most things is not regulated. So there is no law to be broken, expect very basic ones (you have to deliver if you receive fiat money).

If I have a trading platform in art, then I can still buy and sell for my private collection. Crypto coins are not different.

If you have some politically activist billionaires who invest in advocacy groups, you will always find some topic that angers your audience.

What does he gain from it? Motive is the determinant between activism and greed.
One thing in particular I dislike about this is that the author lumps all crypto currency into the same bucket.

As the prime example of this, ethereum and Bitcoin could not be more different. Work done by groups such as 0x mean that these regulations can be enforced by public contacts. Sure, there is more work to be done, but the potential is to create decentralised exchanges that are safer and easier to regulate than existing Fiat exchanges.

Bitcoin's recent price has been crazy even for crypto, but it is short sighted to lump all crypto currencies into the same bucket. This is a fast evolving field, lessons are being learned and better and better implementations are being built.

Coinbase and Gemini, for example, are U.S. exchanges that strictly follow money transmission regulations and AML/KYC. They're not likely to have banking problems, at least under the current regime.

CDC banned from using 'evidence-based' and 'science-based
IT'S OFFICIAL: An African Shamman-Hacker, Built a Tool to Interact with the DEAD
I just responded to my parent comment's premise:

> what is harmful about using anonymised data this way?

Whether it's harmful to use such data when it's not anonymous is a different discussion.
"The administration has reportedly banned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from using the phrases “evidence-based” and “science-based” in official documents.

Senior CDC officials distributed the list of “forbidden” words and phrases to policy analysts at the CDC on Thursday, The Washington Post reported Friday. The list also bans the use of “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender” and “fetus.”"
I posted this before in the "My wife has complained that OpenOffice will never print on Tuesdays" discussion [1], but it's worth repeating:

I heard a story about a terminal in a public terminal room that a user was able to consistently log in to if they were sitting down in a chair in front if the terminal, but never if they were standing up.

They thought it might be static electricity, or some mechanical problem, or "problem exists between keyboard and chair", but finally they noticed something else was amiss...

It turns out some joker had re-arranged the 1234567890 keys to be 0123456789, so when the user was standing up, they looked down at the keyboard and typed their password (which contained a digit, of course) by looking at the keys.

But when they were sitting down, they touch typed without looking at the keys, and got their password correct!

The Evils of Non-Native Programming – Ep 7 – Jeff and Casey Show 2013
A computer can compute that the maximum expected velocity of that child-looking object on the sidewalk is min(hardcoded maximum velocity of a human, maximum observed velocity), and use that in order to quickly calculate whether or not it will have enough time to break, assuming the child-like object suddenly starts moving straight towards the road with maximum velocity.

Unless you expect rocket-propelled children being launched from the sidewalk, that's pretty much it.

(Of course the actual implementation within the entire system will be more complicated, but my point is - a computer can precisely compute what a human tends to intuit.)

Your hypothesis doesn't explain the data any better than mine. Would you really predict the Arab states, with their incredibly progressive views on feminism, to have higher percentage of female researchers? It really isn't weird to you that Russia, in just 20 years, went back to the same levels of everyone else after all the "progress" they made? Cultures don't change that quickly.

The statistics are nearly useless anyway because of how differently they are measured. Women are much more represented in "soft sciences" like biology. But in math etc, the percentage has been pretty consistent. Math majors show a huge increase in women. But when you dig into it, it turns out that they are going into it to become math teachers. And the actual percentage of female Math researchers is the lowest of all of STEM. And pretty consistent through time. And our culture has changed a hell of a lot.

Why is it so implausible to you that it's biology? You want some links and statistics? Try reading this: http://www.sci-hub.la/10.1111/j.1751-9004.2010.00320.x

>gender differences on the people–things dimension of interests are
‘very large’ (d= 1.18), with women more people-oriented and less thing-oriented than men.
Gender differences in personality tend to be larger in gender-egalitarian societies than in gender-
inegalitarian societies, a finding that contradicts social role theory but is consistent with evolution-
ary, attributional, and social comparison theories. In contrast, gender differences in interests appear
to be consistent across cultures and over time, a finding that suggests possible biologic influences.

d=1.18 is one of the largest effect sizes I've seen in a social science. It means something like 93% of men are more "thing oriented" than the average woman.
Fantastic story, thanks!! ;-)
This is about achieving rotation through a combination of skewing and scaling about X and Y, not just about a direct application of a rotation matrix.

Recently, I heard an interesting concept from a long-time clinical psychologist:

"Society constrains and kills you even. You die into your neural configuration. When you're first born you have more neural connections than you will ever in your life, and most of them die. And so, you die into your four-year old self, and between ages 16 and 20, you die into your adult self."
Nah, that was in programming well before politics.

They can have the same root cause though: someone's identity feeling threatened.

If we made a poll for boys and girls from the age they learn to speak until 18 years old, and asked to rate 3 statements:

Math is important.

Money and getting a high paying job is important.

Having rich social life and a large family.

What will the gender differences be, and which will have a bigger extreme? Which will see an reinforced difference as the children grows older and into puberty, the time where career directions are usually made? Last, how does the economy of the country in which the children live influence the answers.

Here is a bet: Its all about the second question, for which math correlates to. Culture will influence children to strive for money if there is a risk to not have food on the table, roof over their head, and parents that will go without both at elderly days. This result in gender roles to merge on the subject of being the provider. "math is for boys" is identical to the idea that "beauty parlors are for girls"; inter-gender competition thats are effective strategies when other basic needs are fulfilled. Focusing on inter-gender competition while starving is a poor strategy. A collaborating evidence to that bet would be if women in countries with lower gender segregation in tech has a better chance in escaping poverty through math than marriage. It would then be maladaptive in those places to have stereotypical gender roles where men are the sole providers.
You are probably just anxious or you aren't thinking about what other people are listening for. A good speaker asks themselves what the objective is, and follows it directly. Other reasons might be: sounding whiney, squeeky, overly descriptive/ornate, or off-topic rambling. Those things are easily remedied by not talking to people about things they would find boring. ie. finding more aligned friends. Anyhow, good luck.
