I'm impressed that you want to jump straight into limited implementation, though you seemed to have left out all the positive potential benefits that a true implementation might convey. I'm thinking of less crime, more art, new businesses created by those who feel less risk averse.
To have this view, you must never have personally coded anything complicated and large. I will admit, we do expend valuable engineering man hours on small problems sometimes, but there's no shortcut to clean, maintainable code. Find me a pool of teens that can write code that meets specs that include multi threading and bitwise operations who will do it for pocket change and you've found an endless revenue stream.
Indeed, and instead off paying directly for good journalism, you can instead spread your money around to largely frivolous publications. What's not to like?
There are a couple LOC counters that ignore comments and don't count lines with only opening or closing paranthesis etc. etc. - it's not like this is the first time the issue appears.
That seems like a more complicated problem than you are alluding to with "etc. etc." For an extremely simple example, how would you justify the 10x difference in bugs/loc when comparing Foxpro vs Eiffel if you managed to muck up a line on both doing "hello world"? Which of the lines in Eiffel would count?

Likewise, there are mountains of technologies available for splitting checks from the server side that are much more convenient. Don't provide table service if you can't handle the complexity/cost -- have customers order at the counter.
'Bringing the audience' is one way of putting it, another is that a behemoth in one market is leveraging it's platform control to rent-seek in a different market at a staggering 50% take.
Very well, it seems you're right about the meaning of the word as it's often (though not exclusively) used in a legal context. Here is the context in which I was framing my perspective:
http://restorativejustice.org/...
I think you're viewing restitution too narrowly to limit it to material/financial interests, as recompense can take many forms. How do you feel about forcing a perpetrator apologize publicly? I feel like that's part and parcel to making the victim 'whole' via an acknowledgement of the crime against them, though forced public shaming would fall under the 'revenge' banner as well.
While I would acknowledge those are all noble goals for the 'job' of prisons, I would also include restitution to the victims of the crime. Sometimes that takes the form of imposing suffering in some way on the perpetrator. That reflects our basic sense of justice. Simply 'fixing' the problem to society does not satisfy our base impulse for fairness. If we don't want to have vigilante issues there is a need to make sure the victim is made whole, to the extent reasonable.
The number of layers abstracted/aggregated are relevant but not exculpatory. Telling how many many of X are in area Y with a propensity for Z can give you zero or perfect accuracy on an individual, depending on the question and prior knowledge. We should all be vigilant of _any_ use of our data, as it can be combined in nefarious ways that we cannot imagine.
The 'enemy of the people' comment never had any meaning grounded in reality, and it took on no additional meaning with this latest error by a less-than-gold standard news outlet,. 'The people' will continue to willing consume the new media products of their alleged enemy despite access to more alternative news than has ever existed. This willful hyperbole (dare I say propaganda) shouldn't even merit a discussion.
I would imagine the same way we predict other shit with AI: gather up data, refine it, come up with novel features, and then see the predictive capacity. My guess is we could probably predict 90% of the fairly routine iterations of things: smaller, rounder, less features, more cowbell. If we ever get to where we can predict something like a notch I'll be shocked though.
I agree with a large swath of your comment, but the following part I don't:
NK would never launch a nuclear weapon
We can't assume people in general - and especially self-aggrandizing authoritarians with delusions (or a facade) of supernatural providence - will behave rationally all the time. Nukes just have too much of a potential downside.
That's a needlessly narrow view of investing. high frequency trading and a government building an aircraft carrier are both investments that operate on these principles.
Too bad for IBM, because even with this cutthroat but seemingly cunning strategy they will lose essential knowledge on their projects and end up wasting more man hours. Thinking on it, H1Bs are the perfect match-- cheap, modestly competent and won't/can't leave despite hating your boring projects.
There's a reason a well rounded education is still valued -- there's more to life, even at work, than your specific skill or trade. I was a CS major but I'm quite happy i took music, history, and particularly philosophy. Considering a teenager is most likely figuring out a path for life with little experience of the real thing, not over specializing seems obvious. Not to mention the opportunity to interact and collaborate (perhaps even procreate) with folks from other specializations
Your don't actually think that the checklist included race as an item, do you? And do you also think that the other items on the list don't correspond to higher recidivism rates? I'd love to see your checklist that would incarcerate fewer people and have less recidivism.
In my case, it's creating a breadcrumb trail for them so we can detect how many tobacco ads/stores they have come in contact with in their daily routes for the purpose of helping folks quit smoking and getting better data on exposure vs quit attempts. Despite motion supposedly waking deep-doze, it doesn't work reliably for us. It does drain the battery, of course, though not as badly as you might expect, at least on 6.x back when it worked reliably. Shouldn't the user be able to opt-in for this sort of tracking if they prefer?

What sort of work would you expect a 'code monkey' to do? This value proposition has always eluded me.

Nor the report. I'm curious as well.
Bug/loc would just boost the rankings of languages with extra boilerplate.
It's open source, fork it. This sounds like old school MS fud

I'd say it's closer to 'tail risk' for investing,

Ah, well, I didn't catch it but I think I'm just exasperated to the point that I think everyone is fighting this battle. Glad I'm wrong here.

Please don't stoop to the level of feigned offense. It's unbecoming, and doesn't help the problem.
