I can't dissuade you and it's not my place to, of course, but even in the midst of darkness, I see a couple of things to hope for. From certain movements here in the US to other political decisions and developments that seem to step in the right direction even when many are not, I have hope that on net there is still hope for the future.

Also, I am 26 this year, so I will probably have to deal with the ramifications of whatever happens today for longer than many who are deciding will. One would think that would be more reason for me to be even more fearful then but the way I see it is that it pushes me even more to be optimistic for my future, because I have more to lose. Plus, the stereotype that goes with youth and over-optimism, etc.
One thing that no-one has mentioned so far is that you shouldn't rely on color to convey information, because some people have color blindness. That's about 10% of the male population.

You also want to pick things that have nice levels of contrast (again for accessibility).

I'd be interested to read how you approach this problem.
It seems the article is afraid to use the term Wantrapreneur. Entrepreneurship isn't a mentality, and the

"more debt and less risk-taking" is not the "answer[reason]" as the article states.

Entrepreneur today is the same as 'actor' or 'musician' was in the 80s and up. You don't have to be anything to call yourself an 'entrepreneur', you just have to say it. And just like all the out of work actors and musicians, todays 'entrpreneurs' are likely to live the same fate.

I've always hated the word, as it is so full of self-importance and arrogance, I feel like at any moment somebody who calls themselves an 'entrepreneur' could easily add 'bourgeois' as a prefix and not think they sound as stuck-up and foolish.

Don't be an 'entrepreneur', don't aspire to be an 'entrepreneur'. Build stuff, do something. Don't aim for a label. When somebody asks what you do, tell them what you do, not what label you aspire to. You don't 'entrepeneur', you 'make X so Y can do Z'.

Can we please get away from all this entrepreneur BS.
I cant agree anymore. I posses literally the worst passport in the world: Afghanistan. Not only you are required to have a Visa basically for every country, getting a visa is also near impossible. And having a visa doesnt mean you wont get lengthy checkups and fishy looks at the airports :( Citizenship is discrimination.

I agree with this overall. It is a long road to significant improvement, with the occasional setback (sometimes way back), but taking charge of this yourself is the only viable path for the long term.

One disagreement, though...I probably wouldn't do any overhead lifting with a shoulder impingement. But do research on exercises to strengthen the current injuries you have, and work into more general weight training over time. My two cents.
Okay, I'll put something heretical out there:

Lisp just isn't that much better than our current languages. Sorry.

Sure, when Lisp came out it was "advanced". Garbage collection, AST parsing and manipulation, macros, packages, a standard library, modules, homoiconic data structures, etc.

However, the good features of Lisp are now normal features of any modern language. And some of those features have gone into the dustbin for good reasons. And some of them (static vs dynamic typing) are personal taste.

I remember using Lisp in 1984. It was completely eye-opening relative to the BASIC, assembly, and C I was using up to that point. However, it didn't run well on small machines that we plebians were using back then. So, we plebians moved back to assembly, C and possibly Pascal.

Lisp STILL has the same problem on small processors. The embedded world is desperate need of a good language for rapid development, and yet Rust seems to be the only new contender? No offense to Rust, but is that the best we can do?

Where is a good dynamic language that is always online and runs in <8K of flash/RAM?
I love that they state price without the duration. $1200 per what... It's not hard people.
My own memory of 1985 was that "Made in China" was just starting to get off the ground. Example: at the time, Black & Decker had bought out GE's small home appliance division. I had a Black & Decker-branded hair dryer (that had been a GE product beforehand) and was rather surprised to see "Made in China" on it. I felt it to be a bit ominous even at the time, never mind that products imported from Japan, Taiwan, etc. were already commonplace.
Not only was "made in Japan" established by 1985, but it was already thought to be superior in popular culture:

In Back to the Future Part III, Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown--the 1955 version of himself--discovers that the DeLorean time machine car has broken down because of a faulty chip made in 1985.

Doc Brown: Unbelievable that this little piece of junk could be such a big problem. No wonder this circuit failed. It says, "Made in Japan."

Marty McFly: What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan."

While blanket terms are bad, and my knowledge of Japan is too little, pure racism probably is (very?) widespread there. I recall seeing (on news) a beauty queen in name of Japan was alienated or harassed for being of mixed race, half-Japanese. Maybe someone actually familiar will come along to tell us about the reality.

I would spend the money to convince or "partner" with the paper of record in the region to run a story on how out of touch they are with technology.

Unfortunately most journalists won't do it for fear of losing their "access".

Properly embarrass the right politician near an election and you get results. Apart from changing the leadership in an actual election that's about your only hope.
ALL the scenarios you mentioned above apply. The fact that you cannot seem to grasp that probably indicates that you are outside all of those groups, and have never experienced what I stated (in plain English) in my original post.

Let me give you an example from my own experience - I am of sub-continental heritage, and my family migrated to Australia over 3 decades ago. It has been 99.999% a fantastic life and I embrace the great life and great people here.

But a few years back there were a few high profile cases of young Indian men brutally raping women in India, and other places. The mass media latched onto this and immediately went into portraying any man of Indian descent as being a brutal rapist in waiting. I felt that societal change. Almost overnight, I noticed people move away from me when I entered a store. There was a measured difference in the hostility I experienced when talking to people I didn't know. Young women would cross the street when they saw me approach, and cross back after I had passed.

Observing these changes DID cause a rage to boil up inside me. How could someone who didn't even know me as a person judge me by the actions of others. I had done everything I could to integrate and embrace this new world, but for the first time ever, I felt unwanted and that my presence was causing discomfort for those around me.

It never got to the extent of projecting that hurt and anger at anyone else, nor would I, because that is not in my nature. Thankfully the media lost interest in that narrative fairly quickly, and people now treat me in an open friendly way as before.

But if those negative perceptions were perpetually front and centre in the media, and I had to bear the brunt of it for an extended period then I really don't know how my ultimate reaction would have manifested itself.
I did not mix up any theorists. Hobbes wrote about the social contract ~100 years before Rousseau did and 30 years before Locke. For all intents and purposes he invented the concept.

Education is not "behind" it, as in causation. It's correlated. If you're "upper middle class", you can afford to send your kids to your/their pick of school, get them the right connections, raise them with financial and social sensibilities that will serve them well, distance yourself from negative influences, etc etc etc.

That special piece of paper is simply one of the common trinkets of that lifestyle. Stop assigning magic powers to it.

> The choice therefore is not between low rent or high purchase cost; it's between making about the same payment for 25 years then never again, or making it for your whole life (while your landlord keeps it for their nest egg).

> No idea how the US situation compares, natch

Speaking as a US citizen in a small midwest city, it's basically the same in most areas.

I can rent a 2bed/1car/700sqft apartment for (X) dollars per month. Or I can own a 4bed/2car/1800sqft single-family home for the same (X) dollars per month, on a fixed 30yr mortgage.

The main difference (besides the tons of extra space) is that the apartment is guaranteed to cost 5-15% more every single year for life. But the house mortgage payment only rises maybe 1% each year.

If I leave an apartment, I have to pay them one or two thousand dollars (on top of any rent owed). If I leave my house, it's equity usually covers any realtor listing fee and gives me a few thousand to cover moving expenses.

I hate home ownership, and no one really does condos in my state, so renting is the only other option. But I can do basic math. Even if we move every four years, it's still much cheaper to own rather than buy, in most situations.

Xray film is just cheaper orthochromatic black & white film. Some large format photographers like it because it's so cheap, despite being harder to use. (Double-sided emulsion, so you can't manhandle either side of the sheet; very contrasty, so development has to be carefully controlled; and generally a very slow ISO, around 25.)

http://matmarrash.com/blog/2012/8/28/working-with-large-form...

I've experimented with similar film (Ilford Ortho Copy), but I generally prefer the look of contrasty skies (filter out blue and green), which is the opposite of what orthochromatic film will look like. (This is why older B&W photos have stunningly-bright skies, contributing to the characteristic look of photos from that era. Panchromatic film didn't exist, and the sky is very bright relative to terrestrial objects when all you have is blue light.)

Generally the stuff gets the job done, though. Here's a test shot of Ilford Ortho Copy:

> We don't have anything like that in our culture, that's why it's so rare that somebody from us ends up mass murdering 100 random persons.

The USA has something endemic in their culture which results in toddlers killing more people that terrorists have in their country this year.

People in other countries without this same culture try telling the US how that can stop it by trying the same things that worked in their own countries but keep being told to go away, there is nothing wrong and to mind their own business.

> We also constantly meddle in Russian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and EU affairs and vice versa. Still these societies seem to be sufficiently resilient to not collapse in mass murder and total chaos.

Does the US 'meddle' in those countries to the extent of placing troops on the ground within their borders in order to shoot at citizens of said country? Does the US conduct drone strikes against people of those countries?

I think you missed the entire point of the parent. Who cares about the resale value of the house? What you should care about is if it's a good rental or not. In the 'burbs, you'll have more stable families, people who care a bit more about their house, people looking for longer term places to raise a family in a good neighborhood, and you can get some great tenants.

Now, in X years when it's dated and some things needing repairing, you've got cashflow to cover that, factored into your money model. Multiply that by a few properties, and even if the "investment" hasn't budged a dime in value, you're making money. At a scale where you can hire a management company to take care of the details for you, it's even simpler.
Median household income in America is $53,482.

That's both salaries mother and father combined. You've got to be kidding me if having a takehome income literally TRIPLE the median constitutes "middle class".
I think the problem is that most of these types of articles don't take your advice - the "broken" code that they are improving is absolutely wrong, and there's no room for contextual arguments whatsoever. I mean, the article we're discussing is on the topic of eliminating conditionals wherever possible - that's a hardline stance against something so commonplace in programming it's hard to imagine working without it.

What you describe also affects the immigrants. In america, immigrants generally look to get in and probably settle down. Immigrants in europe are often shopping for jobs in different countries, maybe a year in country A , another year in country B, always looking to move north. In the meantime they don't grow roots any new country but keep hanging out with their kin or other immigrants.

You 're right however, cultural barriers are high in europe, even for EU immigrants. Europe should have thought twice before carelessly declaring an open immigration policy.
OTOH when I got the opt in page I took the opportunity to opt out of everything.
Median household income in San Francisco is $83k. See this for details: http://www.deptofnumbers.com/income/california/san-francisco...

Even in the Bay Area (which these two are NOT in), they are making DOUBLE the typical Bay-Area median household.

You can't make DOUBLE the amount of money of the median family and then claim to be "middle class". It just doesn't work that way.

And FYI: there's a reason why there's a ton of anti-gentrification going on in San Francisco. The actual middle-class, who is trying to live on ~$80k combined income in that region, is not able to find a house (let alone the lower-class, who will earn much less than the median)
It doesn't matter who gets the credits as far as efficiency in reducing carbon emissions.

It matters quite a lot financially however, because the credits are worth money, so anybody who gets them for less than the market price is in for a windfall.
In a sense, replacing or augmenting labor is a false dichotomy. We can’t actually choose one or the other. ("Capital-Labor substitution" is a thing, in economics; it's structurally unavoidable.) Most nations will choose both, and the impact will fall unevenly across industries and demographics. That is, some people and professions will be replaced, and some will be augmented.

And among those people who are replaced, some will adapt well and others poorly. Those who adapt well, generally, are those who are willing and able to learn. I suspect that this group will already be in the habit of learning; they may even be part of a culture of learning inculcated by their parents, which will reproduce class privilege from one generation to the next. So those more adept at learning, the metaskill of acquiring new skills, are best positioned to weather the coming technologic changes, and thrive under new conditions.

If we step back as technologists, we have to look at the aggregate effects. They will be contradictory, and therefore, the narrative of technological change must reflect those contradictions. People will be replaced and augmented. Society will be harmed and helped.

And as members of that society who are pushing change, we need to think hard about how to help our fellows on the receiving end cope with their new reality. We need a gospel of learning, evangelists to preach it, and a church to support the practice.
