my limited research tells me that raft does everything that paxos does and doesn't require reading multiple 'raft isn't hard' posts/papers to actually understand what it does (find out yourself: http://raftconsensus.github.io/).
And then you compare those reasons to the reality of the situation, and the arguments for legality and you "(find it) hard to understand countries where it's not legal".

> Everything from Machine vision to natural language processing to speech recognition, is benefiting from this. We live in exciting times for AI, and everyone wants to get in on it.

Not "everything" is benefiting from multilayer CNNs; in fact their use is limited to a tiny fraction of machine learning problems. The majority of data problems in the industry involve small datasets with a limited number of dimensions; picture classification and speech recognition are outliers in their scale, although they are extremely important problems.

Also, the fact is that multilayer CNNs are not a recent development, even though the catchy term "deep learning" is. The recent development that has brought us significant performance improvements in image classification and speech recognition is mainly to put CNNs on GPUs, allowing us to scale the networks considerably. So you could say that what is going on here is really hardware progress, not any kind of theoretical breakthrough (there is surprisingly little theory behind multilayer CNNs).

At last, improvements over the state of the art on a number of large-scale ML problems is not the reason there is so much hype about "deep learning" (which is really the same kind of shallow learning that we've been doing for a while), both in the mainstream media and in the tech community. We have entered a new AI summer, where algorithms that have been around for decades are being hailed as being the "real deal" that works just like the brain (nope). A company like Vicarious has raised 50M not long ago on a promise to create "human-level vision" by 2015 and "strong AI" by 2018. Somehow I don't think investors will see much of a return on that money.

This is all nice and good, but after summer comes winter. The hotter the summer the darker the winter. It has happened before, and it has hurt AI progress very much.

While it's good to see the work you put into this article, for the emacs novice it really is far too much of an information dump, in particular it's a little difficult to keep track of all the different things which do the same thing.

Perhaps if you change it in future, think about having a 'basic config' which one can follow?

It would also be nice to know how well these things cope with things like templates and C++11 rvalue references and lambda functions. My past experience is that tags-based tools are fine when your C++ code is basically just C code, but die horribly as soon as you start using C++11 or boost.
Or even better, pay them basic income - now women would no longer need to prostitute themselves out of desperation, and only the ones who really saw this as a lucrative career would choose it.
"If an article headline asks a question, the answer is always no."
Yes - your body, your rules, but in the reality of sex trafficking legalizing prostitution doesn't always ensure that. And as for the women who choose it freely but only because they are in the "unfortunate situation" where it seems like the best option, maybe we could introduce basic income so that many of them would not have to consider this option in the first place. I would say that's our responsibility as a society.

That's often called 'delivery' in Lisp. It means creating an executable application or library. It does not mean the actual act of shipping something to external clients.

If you compile your code to create an application which then is used in 'production' (internal or external), this is the process of 'delivery'.

There's a good argument against legalization.

I've solved this problem for Apple TVs by spoofing the device's MAC address on my laptop, using the laptop browser to accept the WiFi ads or login or whatever, and then resetting my laptop address and plugging the device in.
Anecdotally, I spent most of July traveling around western Europe, entirely by train. Passing between other Schengen countries? No problem, you don't even know you crossed a border unless the conductor announces it. But at the German border the train stops, the crew is changed, sometimes the locomotive is changed, and on one train the police came on board at the border and asked to see everyone's identification. Other countries, the crew also just checked tickets shortly after boarding, then marked down "checked that seat, they're going to this place". Of the multiple trains I took in Germany, only one did that; the rest had the crew checking everyone after every major stop, to the point that I finally just left my ticket sitting in my lap so I wouldn't have to keep getting it out of my bag.

So I would say that of the countries whose borders I crossed -- Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands -- Germany was by far the one with the most border controls. In fact, it was the one that had border controls.

(also the German trains had the highest rates of delay and malfunction; I did one six-hour trip to Berlin on a train which had no food available, and another six-hour trip on a different German train where the air conditioning didn't work, on a sunny day over 30C, and missed a connection to a TGV because the ICE was running nearly 30 minutes late)

That doesn't seem to be a source of the issue though. Navigating on to the homepage of the application, the author (of MacDown) writes more about the reason there. Apparently, the author of Mou, wants to stop developing Mou and sell the project and the author of MacDown didn't have the cash and decided to write an open source clone of it instead.

Why Another Markdown Editor?

I like Mou. I write Markdown all the time, and since I use OS X on a daily basis, Mou is my go-to editor whenever I wish to generate something with markup. But I had always wanted something more.

It came as a great shock when Chen Luo announced that he felt he could not actively continue the development, and wished to sell the ownership of Mou. No suitable offers surfaced (I honestly do not think there will be, either), and I decided that instead of waiting for others to do something about this, I should act myself.

I don’t have nearly enough money to match Chen Luo’s purposed offer, but I do have my own pocket of tricks and some free time. So I started from scratch, spent some weekends hacking together my own solution. And this is the result.

So in this case, what's wrong with breaking this law if it doesn't hurt anyone and is actually _good_ for the country's economy to do so?
> "Denmark, which decriminalised prostitution in 1999 – the same year Sweden made the purchase of sex illegal - has four times the number of trafficking victims than its neighbour despite having around half the population."

That's not very strong evidence. It could easily be that the sex industry in Denmark was thriving pre-1999 and floundering in Sweden (with policy choices & trafficking as results).

Better proof would be comparing the growth rates in trafficking between two countries with similar base rates, where one legalized and one didn't.

Intuitively, I hope you can understand why many people think legalization can be a great tool for combatting trafficking. By doing so, you move the sex trade out into the open and away from gangs/criminal syndicates and allow for regulations which can serve public health & anti-slavery purposes.
Decriminalization isn't legalization. We should be looking at countries where it's entirely legal, prostitutes have guaranteed work conditions etc.
Ticket control has nothing to do with border controls.

In every train in Germany, if the crew is changed, they will control your ticket. They say 'Personalwechsel' and control the tickets again.

You don't need a passport, visa, or whatever to buy a ticket and no train crew is controlling your passport. They are also NOT authorized to see your passport. If you don't have a valid ticket, they will ask for your passport for identification purposes. You don't have to show it. They will then call the police, which you then HAVE to show your passport.

The train crew only looks at the passport, if you used it online to buy a ticket, using the passport number as an identification number. So they check the online ticket and look at the passport number. But you can use other ways of checking for a correct online ticket (using your credit card number for example) and you can buy your ticket also offline.

It also does not matter for 505 million EU citizens. The police may control your passport. But that's it.

ALL 505 MILLION EU CITIZENS ARE ALLOWED TO TRAVEL AND WORK IN GERMANY WITHOUT VISUM.

>> "in the reality of sex trafficking legalizing prostitution doesn't always ensure that"

But isn't forced prostitution a problem whether we make it legal or illegal? Are there any studies that show whether forced prostitution/trafficking goes up or down with legalisation?

>> "And as for the women who choose it freely but only because they are in the "unfortunate situation" where it seems like the best option"

There are plenty of jobs people do because they are the only option. They are physically difficult, dangerous, and pay much less than prostitution. In the documentaries/articles I've read where this point is made it often comes out that the person could do another job but it pays less and they would rather do prostitution as it pays more. Although I do agree with your point about a basic income. I think that would solve a lot of societies problems. It would also be interesting to then see how many people stay in prostitution when they have no financial reason to do so.
Yeah, pay basic income then prices for everything goes up and you are back at sqiare1.
> We generally consider physical lengths to be in the domain of Reals, usually defined along a particular path or dimension. This is closed under subtraction

This is wrong. We consider physical lengths to be nonnegative real numbers, which are not closed under subtraction. Trying to use negative numbers for physical lengths will get you very funny looks.

> It's very generous to call a set of arguments to variadic function a "vector" at all

It's not an element of a mathematical vector space, but it's a vector in the common sense of an ordered collection of values. The other examples I gave you, like (int, int, int), are vectors even in the algebraic sense.

> I would sure like it if function signatures like that were impossible :)

That was the signature for Java's String.format, the equivalent of C's sprintf (which, like String.format, maps an infinite-dimensional vector to a single string). If you really didn't understand this, you can tell that the return type from String.format is a scalar by looking at the return type declaration, "String". To understand the precise mapping, I can only recommend you read the javadoc.

>> But somehow string formatting is wildly popular.

> Lots of mathematically ill-defined things are wildly popular.

I'm willing to grant this, but it's certainly not relevant to string formatting.

>> Hash tables aren't closed under access.

> Not sure what you mean by this.

Accessing a hash table isn't guaranteed to get you another hash table. Just like subtracting two positive numbers won't necessarily get you a positive number.
It's certainly true that there are women in the sex industry against their will, and still more who would rather not be in that industry. I don't see how making it illegal would change that though.

Personally I agree on a basic income pegged to a annually updated cost-of-living index to help out those in need. Sure, some people will abuse the system, but I think that overall society would be better off.
No, I know quite well what a BTB is and it's only somewhat useful for indirect branches. Modern processors have specific predictors for indirect branches. This paper: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=279380 describes one such structure. It also explains why such structures outperform BTBs.
Ideally in a society as affluent as ours nobody would be working a job they hate just to pay the bills, that's one of the many problems basic income would solve.

Indeed, I do think there are better approaches than driving prostitution underground. My goal was just to point out that there are other arguments than "sex is bad" against legalized prostitution.
Yes, but it doesn't change the fact how strange it is to see people amazed by having a language compiler supporting static compilation.

Two decades ago it was the only option in most operating systems.
That would just create a black market for cheaper sex workers. There will be people who can't afford the minimum price so a market will open to meet their demand.

Sure, there might be better ways of solving this than making prostitution illegal.
Code generation does serve its purpose, but I would argue that it's only a bit more effort to make it readable and with code-generated comments as well.

I once had to build an Oracle PL/SQL interface for a rather complicated integration project between two old systems and the business requirements for what had to go where changed daily.

In the end I opted to code generate the PL/SQL interface and supporting code from a spreadsheet that the business always kept up-to-date with the latest changes to the requirements. Ultimately they could change things to their hearts' content and I would only have to press a button to re-generate it all.
Seems kind of funny to describe The Oldest Profession as a "new industry". Prostitution laws have a history much longer than one century.
> "Sex trafficking statistics are frustratingly incomplete, but a recent report estimated the number of victims in Europe at 270,000."

> We accept this form of modern slavery?

I don't, but prohibiting prostitution is a certain way to ensure that sex-trafficking will remain an issue, due to the huge demand for sex workers.

Much like we can't stop the cartels in Mexico until we decouple them from their hundreds of billions a year in funding from US drug users, we can't attack the problem of human trafficking in earnest until we are willing to remove the demand in markets for illegally obtained people - which requires that we provide those markets some other way to find people.

> "Denmark, which decriminalised prostitution in 1999 – the same year Sweden made the purchase of sex illegal - has four times the number of trafficking victims than its neighbour despite having around half the population."

> There's a good argument against legalization.

This doesn't address the topic under discussion, both because we're missing appropriate stats for those countries pre-change, but also because the change cited isn't the one we're talking about.

Fundamentally, decriminalization is different than legalization, because it leaves control in the hands of black market actors while simply removing some of their penalties for operating (perhaps only at certain tiers).

If you think that's a "good" argument against legalization, I'd say that we should legalize tomorrow.
