(Second take at an answer since my first one took us down the wrong path).

I agree that it looks like a rehabilitation program. It just seems like a bad one, because:

1) you shouldn’t have to risk your life to see your family or get time knocked off your sentence. It’s simply not normal that prisoners have to make this choice in a situation where their agency and access to alternatives are so limited; but this program contributes to normalizing it.

2) as others have pointed out, prisoners receive “training” for a trade that they won’t be allowed to practice after they serve their sentence. This tells me that rehabilitation wasn’t the primary motivation, or if it was, it was poorly thought out.

Overall this feels like a very slippery slope... even if this particular program is the best possible implementation of the idea, with proper training, and rules in place to avoid treating prisoners as relatively more expendable, putting them in more danger than other firemen, etc. My question is: what if it weren’t a perfect implementation, and abuse did occur? Are there any incentives and checks to prevent such abuse? Or would we all collectively shrug and say “seems like rehabilitation, nothing to see here”.

Given the general state of the carceral system in the US, I think the burden should be on the people responsible for this program to acknowledge these risks, and go out of their way to reassure the concerns of citizens like myself. It definitely is not reasonable to dismiss my criticism unless I prove a track record of helping prisoners first-hand as you have done. My opinion on the issue is just as legitimate as yours, and I wish you hadn’t dismissed it in the way you did (I also wish I hadn’t overreacted to it, we could have had a more constructive debate).

I would recommend Programming in Haskell by Graham over other introductory texts. Not only is it a small read, Graham does a great job of avoiding the mire and excells at teaching critical concepts with simple examples. You're better off reading Programming in Haskell three or four times than reading some of these more intricate or simplified texts once. It will give you a groundwork of the fundamentals, and you will not have incorrect definitions of important concepts.

The key to Haskell is to think like a functional programmer. Most of us are trained to think in ways other than functional programming. This is a skill that takes time to build, and a book can't necessarily impart upon you.

A issue with today's programmers is that they require instant gratification from their programming languages. Remember that it takes a large investment to learn a foreign language. The more you learn, the more you can express. Haskell and FP takes times to master because they are powerful tools that allow you to express complex ideas succinctly.

So don't get discouraged if it seems foreign, it is. With Haskell you can say a lot with a little, and it will pay dividends for years to come.
Neither - they are talking plasmids, which are a precursor to both. Plasmids are circular DNA that are used in cloning. Cloning is the step-by-step process by which a construct is engineered (e.g. promoter and gene sequence placed in the correct orientation, along with a selectable maker in traditional GM). Plasmids are amplified in bacterial systems to generate loads more, and a very stable. Good for storing and passing around to other labs. Often the same plasmid backbone is used in multiple constructs, hence why the approach in the paper works. You could not use this approach to detect which lab CRISPRd an organism (the tell-tale signs are not retained), but it would have some effectiveness in traditional GM if the insert were sequenced, as some of the lab-specific cloning decisions and mutations could be present.
All primates eat high carb. They are not fat.

It is fat that blocks insulin on yr cells. No (or little) fat and you can absorb your carbs as nature intended.

> Fats are not inherently bad for you, doesn’t matter if they are plant based or not.

I agree. It is the refined fats that are bad.

Um. If the critics of this patent knew how to read claims they would not be concerned.

This is a garbage patent that has claims that are extremely narrow.

The attorneys that signed the last amendment introduced an extremely limiting amendment that makes the patent essentially useless. The examiner recognized this and allowed it.

The attorneys that prosecuted this case have life science/chem/pharma backgrounds and used claim language common in life science cases. Such claim language is never used in computer/software patents because it is so narrowing.

However, not having read the spec, narrow claims may be all that that are available. Though a good patent prosecutor with experience in computer/software arts would never draft them this way.

A blockchain actually seems a bit pointless for this because there is no 'good' being spent, and likewise there is also no need for a strict ordering of patents - meaning the "chain" part opens you up to unnecessary problems. Such as, you could have a silly 51% attack where the network discards existing blocks/patents for another chain of blocks/patents, even though there are no problems with simply keeping all of them (Because no inconsistency is created by just keeping the data from both chains).

I think an easier way to solve this is to use something like torrents, and have the USPTO sign the data being sent out with a known public-private key pair (So you can verify that what you're being sent isn't just junk someone generated). These can get copied by anybody who connects to the network, verified that they are actual patents, and then when the USPTO distibutes the encryption key anyone with a copy can decrypt them. In this situation, there's no such thing as a 51% attack because there is no history to rewrite, and you can't dump fake patents into the system to attempt to 'overload' it without having the USPTO's private key. An effort could be made to delete some information by simply refusing to replicate it (And hoping others also refuse), but as long as someone has a copy there isn't anything an outside force could do to cause them to delete it if they don't want too, and if someone makes enough of an effort someone else should be able to replicate it.

Fear. I worked with a programmer that did it a lot. What if the customer wants this, or what if the customer wants that? And his reason was just what the article highlights: "I programmed it now so I won't have to program it later." It doesn't make sense unless you are trying to get a program done for good and hope never to have to work on it again afterward.

After doing endurance exercise 80km+ bike rides each weekend, sodium and other forms of electrolytes are incredibly important. Without them I lose fluids and I get crazy leg cramps.

The issue is that salt tastes good, so people load it on their food to the point where it is unhealthy.

It's the same with sugar, there is a huge industry bashing sugar at the moment, but sugar is essential for the human body. They are bashing sugar and creating fear because alot of people (myself included at times) eat way too much sugar, because its so easy to do, but it does create adverse health effects. That doesn't mean sugar is bad, just that eating copious amounts of highly refined sugar is bad for you.

Try exercising without a healthy blood sugar level due to lack of complex sugars.

Now we have this keto industry where people think twice about eating fruit due to it being high in sugar, FRUIT for god sake.

The last amendment to the claims exceptionally narrows them. The examiner recognized this and issued a notice of allowance.

Of course, all politicians are the same. Of course, taxes go directly to them so they have a motive to increase tax revenues more than would be otherwise sensible.
> I would highly recommend to avoid any diet which is less than 30-40% in calories from fat.

Our GI tract is very similar to that of primates. I think it is best to eat like they do: HCLF.

> That said the worst thing you can have is high fat and high carb

100% agree.

> the insulin would cause your body to store all the fat and turn the extra sugar into more fat.

Nope. The extra glucose with spike in your blood (as the fay blocks your insulin on the cells), glucose is only converted to fat a tiny bit.
Thoughts on this as an open source hardware project?
Oh I didn't think denying would work, since it kept 'loading' (waiting for me) instead of showing an alternative right away. For most sites, that means it won't work. Perhaps show the alternative input at the same time as requesting it from the browser? Something like:

Requesting location from your browser...
<hr color=grey margin-top,bottom=50px>
Or input your location manually:
[ ] [OK]

If the user hits deny, the form text could change to what it says now.

Yes, we do try to save species we know are threatened by human activities and because we have wiped out many animal species in the past.

Also, as with other kinds of problem-solving, our efforts are indeed going to include missteps and side-effects, despite efforts to minimize these.

However my sense is that many of us are consumed by guilt (existential as well as environmental) and this isn't going to help us to think clearly about environmental matters. Perspective is needed!

For instance, it's worth noting that (1) 99% of all the species that have ever existed were wiped out by purely natural causes, (2) only humans can possibly hope to avert the next major asteroid impact, the next supervolcano eruption, and so on.
The problem with nutrition is that it's a very sensitive topic for people. Everyone wants to hear that what they eat is healthy, so "science" delivers on that demand.

For myself I decided to go with WFPB diet because pretty much everyone agrees that fruits, vegetables, greens and whole grains are good for you. There's no controversy there.
Well, there's the problem that most of the effects are pretty small - most of the really dramatic effects have already been discovered. So it's not a matter of "People who eat X every day develop intestinal lesions and die within 18 months", it's more like "People who eat X every day have a lifetime increase in the incidence of toe cancer from .016 to .02".

Combine that with the fact that these effects take years or decades to show themselves, it makes for an area of science with very few hard answers.

If you were to eat lets say a pound of salt (probably lethal). You probably would have to be rushed to the ER. Your body can only process things so fast and deal with changes so quickly. Obviously, a person would not eat a pound of salt in one sitting. So you body can not dump any excess salt. It can dump excess to a point.

Yes. The code was on its own branch. It was part of a simple protocol for all remote pairing. The hard part of pairing is often social issues such as the way Git is used. Technology isn't really the critical factor. I mean remote pairing requires a change to the way people interact. Using Git differently is a change to the way people interact. The key is that people are interested in making it work. If they aren't, it doesn't matter what technology you choose.

The nice thing about using Git and hangouts or skype is that I can use Emacs and you can use Vim and someone else can use Sublime text.
Great. Clean and simple. Will for sure check out some css examples from here when I need.
Damn, what would cause someone to write something so biased? Surely it couldn't be someone as incompetent as a city government. Not sure why people have to let everyone know they're a horrible person and all their opinions can be discounted.
I agree with everything you say, except the second to last paragraph. My endurance increased immensely by switching to keto, due to no longer using glucose as an energy source (instead, ketones).
This is true, and I once quoted sources like it as a smoker that thought sin taxes were too high, but the larger truth is that smoking should be discouraged because we should make it socially unacceptable to stop our children from getting hooked like we did. I quit. It's good that I did for its own sake. We're not just numbers on a policy planner's spreadsheet.
I wonder what the plan will be when more and more employees start bringing their own lunches instead. After all, there are 4+ meal subscription services that I can think of offhand.

And I also wonder if the city is going to try to track this somehow. As in, "we banned free food, now we need data to show the ban had any effect on the local restaurants."
No, I don't see "social bifurcation" (which I think needs to be defined) happening over drivers licensing requirements. Over race? Sure. Over systemic income/opportunity inequalities? You bet. But over driving? I just don't see it.

First, how is this 30% cut going to be enforced? At the licensing test? Is it that if you get a single ticket or report for unsafe driving, your license is revoked? You are going to look at existing drivers license holders and determine their fitness to be operating a vehicle, how exactly? Is it a lifetime ban from driving? How many times can I take the test of it just didn't come naturally to me?

Second, there's already a portion of the population that for whatever reason (DWI is a common one) aren't allowed to drive, and I don't see them rising up in the streets.

I don't think anyone is arguing that people shouldn't be allowed to do things that have costs to society, they are discussing whether or not taxation of the behaviors is effective.
How the #Vanlife movement is influencing car design
Yeah, I've hiked with people on low-salt diets and they've never failed to get a hyponatremia headache that gets better when they drink some electrolyte(salt). Frankly it doesn't make any sense to me to take an intervention that's good for high blood pressure and unilaterally try to apply it to perfectly healthy people.

They did that with fat too and look where we are.
>...and started working out

I can't emphasize enough how much this helps. If anyone is suffering from depressions, anxiety and overthinking -- consider starting working out. It will make wonders to your mood. I'm not saying that it will fix your suffering entirely, because it typically requires a mental effort as well. But it will make your life noticeably more enjoyable.
It’s not really not true, apes have very different diets e.g. Gorillas are folivore and mostly consume leaves they can actually digest cellulose (they ferment it which is why they have a huge belly as their colon is huge), while chimps are omnivores that actually eat meat and hunt colobus monkeys, as well as consume eggs, insects, birds, nuts and honey.

Also the human genetic and epigenetic landscape is utterly different just like the difference between any other species.
And you also ignore our gut flora which is drastically different than apes in the wild (you would also not find apes with the same flora ofc, Gorillas and Chimps would have drastically different floras).

But sure eat like a gorilla around 50-60 I don’t remember if it’s lbs or kg of leaves a day but at those figures it doesn’t matter and see how long would you survive.

(just in case someone somehow would take that jest seriously, please don't eat like a Gorilla you will die, and if not you will suffer irreversible damage to your colon to the point where you quite possible wish you were dead)
>"sugar is essential for the human body"

Sugar is not essential to the diet, the body can make it from fat and protein. Ie, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluconeogenesis

However, afaik, you cannot live without fat or protein in your diet.

>"Try exercising without a healthy blood sugar level due to lack of complex sugars."

You assume "healthy blood sugar level" must be related to "amount of sugar in diet". Not true, your body can adapt to different diets.
This is a pretty low quality comment.

What's wrong with someone experimenting with something? Many projects start small and after some iterations become much more useful.

But instead let's harp on how simple/basic it is and how easy it is to make. \s
Fruit seeds need to tavel longer distances than a shrubs roots to be useful. It’s fruit eaten at significant distance that makes fruit a useful evolutionary strategy.
Our GI track is simmilar to some other primates primarily chimps but very different from others say Gorillas.

Gorillas nearly only eat leaves while chips are omnivores that hunt even monkeys and even practice cannibalism.

Glucose will turn into triglycerides and be stored into fat but more importantly what insulin does is instruct your fat cells to store energy.

Same waiting with Terraform. If you aren't automating windows installs and/or imaging, count yourself lucky :)

Terraform also lacks a lot of the extra "smarts" that CF has; like rolling updates of any kind and some other higher level automation across different services. They take very much a blue/green approach which is beyond limiting for some services.

Ran into a few broken states using Cloud Formation via Serverless project. Luckily had been in the habbit of keeping "statefull" AWS resources such as queues, databases, and other stuff in their own stacks(or Terraform) to keep their stacks complication to a minimum and mitigate the impact of the more complicated stacks needing to be deleted..

Ultimately I started going with and promote a hybrid approach where Terraform makes sense; Terraform for base infrastructure(including most stateful resources) and CF for stuff like autoscale groups and etc.
> Seattle the sugar tax doesn't apply to Starbucks hilariously.

Wow, to exclude an organization which sells 1000+ cal. drinks (vast majority/all from sugars) to millions of people a day, is hilarious indeed. And sad.
