comment Haskell - Maybe arithmetic
What error do you get? Does that give you any clues as to the problem? You might want to think about whether your "otherwise" case returns something of the right type.

comment Do performers pay taxes on comped meals and hotels?
I can't give a answer specifically based on US law, but generally speaking I would expect those costs to be tax-deductible anyway, because they are costs of actually doing the work (the performances). So I don't think you do need to pay tax, but you may need to declare them so that the tax authorities have enough information to check that they really are deductible.

comment Transform a GADT without constraints to another GADT with constraints when such constraints hold
For the new feature in GHC 7.8, it's important that although every concrete type would be Typeable, you wouldn't be able to assume Typeable for a /polymorphic/ variable - so for example the only total function of type (a -> a) would still have to be the identity function. Otherwise we'd lose parametricity. It does make my specific counter-argument invalid, though.
