I'm harvesting results from the BBC website, and comparing them with estimates from ACPO (http://apcoworldwide.com/docs/default-source/default-documen...).

Caveat: I'm drinking increasingly heavily.

Your comment comes across as spiteful.

Also, from the article: "Over the years many different people and services have participated in the maintenance and running of PyPI. I’m not going to attempt to create an exhaustive list of every person or service who has ever helped, but instead focus on those who are currently involved."

Musicophilia is also strange and wonderful, and very much worth reading.

Is this a "Black Mirror moment"?

Yeah, this made me think of a first step towards "Be Right Back"

Unless I've totally misunderstood, I don't think you're right.

For instance, on your first go, drop in column 0. Then, the AI drops in columns 1, 2, 3, 4, leading to this:

    . . . . . . .
    . . . . . . .
    . . . . . . .
    . . . . . . .
    . X X X . . .
    X O O O O . .

It could have been fixed after my post, I won 8 times in a row and it seemed to be some kind of fluke.

After trying it now, the AI actually tries harder to beat you, and my previous method is not effective anymore.

Sounds not-so-dissimilar to Tom Stuart's "Refactoring Ruby with Monads" (https://speakerdeck.com/tomstuart/refactoring-ruby-with-mona...) which is excellent.

Can you expand a bit on what you mean by "midwifery is illegal"? To me, that sounds as odd as "dentistry is illegal" ...

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_birth#United_States

for a bit of insight into the US legal situation.

scott_karana · on Dec 16, 2014

I suspect he means that in some jurisdictions, you need to be a licensed medical practitioner of some sort, so the traditional "on the ground" experience of midwives by itself won't qualify.

DanBC · on Dec 16, 2014

In the UK a midwife is a qualified registered specialist nurse.

It's a protected term - you can't call yourself a midwife withoutthe qualification and registration.

Most midwives are employed by the NHS.

Obviously they're not doctors - they can't prescribe medication or perform surgery.

This could be a translation error, but "birth nurses" seem to be called "midwives" in the UK whereas that's not the case in the US (at least as I understand it).

wiredfool · on Dec 16, 2014

There are different certifications. One in the US is Certified Nurse Midwife, essentially they are RNs with a certification in midwifery as well. They can have privileges at hospitals, which is a very useful backup in cases where something goes wrong in a non-911 sort of manner. There are also Certified Midwifes, which have a somewhat less medical oriented training and may not be able to bring patients into a hospital as 'their patient'.

pyre · on Dec 19, 2014

(A little late but...) I said that because, for example I stubbled across a UK show called 'Midwives' and it was about a maternity ward. Most of the people there are what I would call 'nurses' in the US, even if they are Nurse-Midwives by certification. I was expecting the show to be about something more akin to home-births.

I have an aunt that's a neo-natal nurse, and I've never heard her refer to fellow nurses as midwives (but I've never directly asked her before).

I don't see your submitted mission in the system, and the link in your post seems broken. Do let me know if you're having any problems.

inglesp · on Dec 15, 2014

Thanks for reporting this -- we'll get this fixed soon.
