Everything must be matained forever or it will disappear. Areas of economic unproditivity will be capitalized on. If there were no crowds of tourists filling ancient cities, there'd be less incentive to maintain them or not replace them with new construction. If no one used our national parks they'd be sold off to developers or resource extractors.

You can't have it both ways. Either tourism and outdoor recreation are popular and the market will respond by preserving unique places worth seeing. Or there will be no interest in preserving these places and our very large and resource hungry population will put these places to more productive use.

Recycling is a way to profit off of virtue signaling. Why should I separate my trash to make some recycling company more profitable? If they pay me enough, I might do it. Otherwise, it's all going into the landfill.

Even aluminum.

If some aluminum company wants it bad enough -- and if it's worth enough -- they can go dig it up.

I dislike companies making profits on forced labor. Too many virtue-signaling municipalities mandate recycling (and sometimes even charges you for pickup) just so some recycling company can increase its bottom line. Nonsense. Bury everything. It's cheap.

The blog author does not understand the paper. The paper argues people comply because a reason is given. Not because they used the word "because". The paper does not "prove" that the word 'because' is any more special than providing a reason, or using a synonym in general, such as 'since'.

Also saying the paper "proves" something is a misunderstanding of these papers & science in general. The experiments only provide support for a hypothesis, they don't prove it.

Never used Turbo Pascal overlays but we had a product on OS/2 using a Realia compiler that when ported to DOS didn't fit. The overlays destroyed performance. I ended up making a segmented that spilt the call graph into mostly subtree by selecting the subroots. A small set of the shared pets got to live in non overlay memory. There was still a little thrashing because the splits weren't exclusive or of similar sizes but it worked remarkably well.

The general aim of error handling in languages like Elm is for types to not lie. If you can either return a result, or an error, the type represents that. The more places that can return an error: the more complex the types, and the more complicated the error handling. You can always pass the error value up through layers, but as people would say, it's just easier to make illegal states unrepresentable.

It's not an aim to pretend that failures don't happen, especially when doing remote calls, and the types will be transparent in showing where this occurs.
I’ve found that much high-brow literature (such as that found in The Atlantic which I like to read a lot) enjoys taking multiple sentences and paragraphs to explain an idea that only needs 10% of the words that are actually used. AKA fluff to give the appearance of intellectualism. It’s why I skim.
I would argue that 'abuse' is the most significant characteristic of an open system. What is one persons

I understand where you're coming from lovich but our morally as a group appears mostly contingent on our prosperity. It's easy for us to cast moral judgement but when we're in a fix - values are frequently flung onto the pyre without a second thought. The new normal becomes normal (with accompanying stories) and anybody who questions the shift is a reactionary.

We should be asking ourselves deeper questions before we have these issues so we don't buy into the herd consensus.

The problem is that limiting access to those with the greatest means (factoring in leisure time as well as money) is horribly elitist. This is similar to a conversation about teleportation that I've had several times with my wife and more recently my daughter.

"Sure, it would be great if we could teleport to some unspoiled natural place without having to deal with the hassle of regular travel and hiking for hours/days to get there. Maybe we could even maintain a place there, so we could visit whenever we want. But wait, if everybody else did that then it wouldn't be unspoiled any more. So maybe if teleportation cost a lot ... but not so much that we ourselves were excluded, naturally. But we're not elitist scum, are we? Oh well, let's keep walking."

I totally understand the urge, I feel it myself, but my aversion to being or becoming part of a new aristocracy is even stronger. The only fair way to keep places unspoiled would be to issue licenses via a lottery. Non-transferable licenses, or else you might as well just sell directly to the rich. Other than that, this is just an unfortunate but unavoidable consequence of giving people freedom (and the means) to travel where they will.

"One of my favourite cities in Italy is Venice, I am italian, and I have been there visiting friends several times. Tourism have ruined the city, they are there all year, residents don't have breaks..."

I understand you. But tourists are the only thing that keeps Venice a little bit afloat. It will sink sooner or later. Venice was once a former banking and trading center. They had some industry. All this is lost. They don't have the money to sustain the infrastructure anymore. Even the money from tourists won't be enough in the long run.

why should anyone care about someone they don’t have a personal connection with?
Well you are free to have your opinion about my post, but for me it's a different matter: while I believe that who does "open core" has all the right to do it, and I hope they'll have all the success, I don't think it's always the right model. In the case of Redis, imagine if any HA would be in the closed part, that is, Sentinel and Redis Cluster. The applicability of Redis as free software would be more limited, because in order to work well an open core strategy really needs to take away from the party something really valuable. So I think that an "added value" strategy works better. It leverages the delta between what users (or even more interesting, what enterprises want), and the developers of the product do not. For instance Redis directly queried by JSON is IMHO the least interesting thing to do, yet a lot of people want to do that. Similarly a CRDTs store with the Redis data types is great, even if it ends not being Redis from the POV of latency, memory metrics and so forth. That's my point, one strategy is to take something, remove an important part, and force a subset of people to buy. The other is instead to develop in the OSS a complete product, and focus on offering additional things that different subset of users really would like to see because they have vertical needs here and there.
I still remember the absurdly heavy impact it made when it came out. People were sinking thousands of pounds into it and it as sucking money out of the rest of the hobby games industry. It was surreal to watch. Some other companies came out with their own collectible games which did well for a while, but when the bottom fell out of the market a few of them were left with huge inventories they couldn’t sell and were wiped out or financially crippled.

Meanwhile the publishers, Wizards of the Coast were so flush with money they bought the industry 5000lb Gorilla TSR, then were bought by Hasbro. Magic isn’t even a roleplaying game, but it’s effects on the Pencil n paper RPG scene are felt to this day.

It’s interesting that Garfield was a mathematician, as is the other real rock star card and board game designer Reiner Knizia. Game design is a complex problem and clearly a good grip on the mathematical, statistical and geometric aspects can’t hurt. I think I’ll have to pick up Richard’s book.

Charitably, I think the writing here underscores how much scarier the spread of automation is for people who have never been involved in writing an algorithm (or better yet a complex system). Even if you're well educated in another field, there's a really giant gap between being told 100 times in popular press how information systems work (or don't), versus being part of trying to make one work.

Personally I don't see much difference between how opaque the world of automation is and how opaque law, or government bureaucracy, or media production, or any other human industry is from the point of view of a non-expert. But perhaps for many people, it is easier to trust long chains of human processing than long chains of machinery.

Youth produces vivid, seemingly magical memories. The time relativity of having had fewer experiences and how that amplifies every experience you do have. When you're 10, every year seems like a small lifetime. Small or simple things seem extraordinary. On top of that, we usually end up over-glorifying the past because most negatives and how they made us feel fade with time.

Not to mention having a lot fewer responsibilities and knowing a lot less about the world.

I grew up relatively poor in the US. My childhood seems magical compared to this bullshit. Now each day vaporizes in a blur, feeling not very memorable compared to any other. I love what I do work-wise as an adult, and it still just doesn't remotely compare to spending all day roaring down a snowy hill on a sled at ten years old. I'd probably struggle to recall something memorable from ~100 days ago, but I can recall a hundred memorable things from my childhood. I don't think it was money that made the primary difference, it was the nature of every new or semi-new experience and what it means to a younger brain.

> If some aluminum company wants it bad enough -- and if it's worth enough -- they can go dig it up.

The point of recycling aluminium is that is avoids the enormous energy expenditures and carbon of processing raw ore. So, recycling is a sensible step towards environmental protection. It might “make a company some money”, but your failing to do it still has environmental consequences. And if a company had to go “dig it up”, there would probably still be more carbon generated than if you just sorted your rubbish.

Though I can't stand the writing style, sitting while cycling is a real problem, especially if you're male. I bike year round here in Toronto, about 200 kms a week for most of the year, and I didn't know. It took almost a year for the ED to go away once I committed to standing while cycling 100% of the time. I was only in my late twenties when it happened and I figured it was something only old men get. I'm super happy I happened to come across a paper that talked about it.

The side benefit is that it made my arms huge and I've got real abs now.

That is true of the European Union in general. However, I suspect that a lot of the old electronics thrown away find themselves to one of those African recycling dystopias where poor people just melt down circuit boards, inhaling toxic fumes all day long. I find it difficult to believe that some decade-old mobile phone or clock that I drop off at a shop’s collection point, actually goes to a high-tech, safe recycling center.

That is the new paper this article discusses, but it does not exhaust the research. The author has written other work summarizing multiple different ways of measuring that confirm the same conclusion: http://users.nber.org/~jwolfers/research.php.

More than that, "money is positively associated with happiness/life satisfaction" is common sense. Anyone who has ever struggled with money knows that it's incredibly stressful. "Money doesn't make you any happier" is the counter-intuitive research finding that needs ironclad evidence.

It's also important not to confuse either of these claims with "anyone who has money is happy", which is obviously false. It's still true that money can't buy happiness. But lack of money is a major (but not guaranteed) cause of unhappiness.

I take issue with the clickbait, and misunderstanding of the paper in general. The post is titled "One word can make you 50% more persuasive", and the author says that word is 'because' and it's proved by some paper.

This post should be titled "Providing a reason can make you 50% more persuasive".
