> the happiest people are those who live in poorer but highly social communities. Think, latin America and south east Asia. Try southern Mexico, Belize, Peru, Ecuador, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia

I'm highly sceptical of it. If they're so happy, why so many of people in those countries make desperate efforts to emigrate to a developed country?

People are forced into sex work all the time, everywhere on the planet including in rich western countries, by various means,debt, violence,death threats,the "boyfriend" who is a pimp, even "curse" threats, especially young kids, and most johns don't give a damn. Women who refuse to submit to their pimps or the mafia are killed to set an example.

I'm not the OP but I _love_ cars and for me being a millionaire would allow me to enjoy cars properly.

I don't want a garage of Ferraris, McLarens or Lamborghinis. I want a garage of hot hatches, track cars, Caterhams, Lotus', fast coupes: a nice collection of "affordable" fast cars that I grew up aspiring to own.

It's kinda funny they tout their usage of GPS. I use Uber on a near daily basis and drivers by an large use Google maps. They have out right said "Uber sucks for directions"

And if you use express pools it will always say to go the wrong side of an intersection. I like uber because of the drivers, but their fancy technology is flawed.
Wow, you just pushed me and my girlfriend into a heated debate regarding this. Is there a list anywhere of similar unintuitive math properties/facts?
This. The file name is explicitly documented as not supported by the file system. The error message is buggy.

A correctly working system would have simply said what limitation the user had hit.

I’m sure that in every file system there are names you can’t give a file - and if there aren’t then that problem is at least as big. For example if it’s possible to call files null, the empty string, “.”, the directory separator etc then that just creates more trouble. These are documented limitations and a non-buggy system will explain what limitation the user has hit.

Inconsistency such as differences beteeen file system and file explorer I could agree are borderline bugs at least in the UX sense. The user doesn’t see the file explorer UI and the file system as different things.

If you get X degree you overestimate it’s importance and want to build a team of others with X degree. Thus the bias moves the equilibrium point. Further when asked you end up promoting the credentials to others considering getting them.
Re: pointers, the same problem applies to int, which was always at least 16 bits. The 6809 and 8080/Z80 had 16 bit register (or register pairs) so must have been much better targets for C (among 8 bit machines).
>> Although Prolog's original intent was to allow programmers to specify programs
in a syntax close to logic, that is not how Prolog works. In fact, a
conceptual understanding of logic is not that useful for understanding Prolog.

Look, I get what the article is saying, but the fact of the matter is that
Prolog has to run on real-world computers and those are not purely logical.
They have working memories and storage, they have processors that take in
instructions one-by-one and so on. It's all nice and well to say that you want
a purely declarative language but, well, we just don't have the hardware for
that sort of thing, at least not yet anyway (and not in the foreseeable
future, given that nobody is really working on that- not anymore, not after
the Fifth Generation Computer programme tanked).

So compromises have to be made. They have to be made at every step of the way.
Compromises like the selection rule for resolvents (this is what makes the
order of clauses in your program matter, when it doesn't in pure logic).
Compromises like having extra-logical predicates, like write/1 and get/1 (the
latter gets the next byte from the current input- what is a "byte" in logical
terms? It isn't). Compromises like the cut, !/0 and even that stupid fail/0,
that give you some control over the interpreter's program flow, which in and
of itself is something completely outside of logic.

But, this is how you get a language that is 90% of the way to the purely
declartive, logic programming ideal. You gotta be, whatsitcalled, pragmatic,
innit.

I also don't agree that teaching the operational semantics of the language
(the four-port model) is the best way to reveal the beauty of the language.
I've been coding in Prolog since around 2008, and I was very comfortable with
that model, but my understanding is still incomplete. I've recently read
"Foundations of Inductive Logic Programming" that has a big intro to logic and
logic programming with endless proofs about subsumption and the soundness of
resolution and so on, and it's like, I was blind in one eye and could only see
half the world. You gotta have a very solid grasp of both the theory and the
practice to code well in Prolog.

... and there's your problem, right there. The investment you have to make to
really master the language is huge and very few people have the resources for
it.
On the other hand, if that fired worker was working 2 jobs just to afford rent, but keeps their other job and now makes enough per hour to get by doing just one job - and can spend more time with their family or studying or whatever - that isn’t necessarily so bad.

Not to mention that more disposable income in the area likely means more people spending more money at your business. Chances are that not only your revenue will go up enough to employ that 10th person, but that the workload will increase enough that you’ll need the extra pair of hands.
That is her inference, not verified fact.

Sure - you write the html snippets by hand (and those are still very maintainable if you use inline styles). But you don't maintain the final page that might have e.g. twenty buttons, so that's not a case to optimise for.
Not just research, but applied physics too - at least, that was my experience working in the defence and energy sectors. Looking back, it’s remarkable how little of my physics studies were devoted to learning about the computational techniques I spend the majority of my time working with.
Ask yourself: WHY do you want money?
You'll find the answers here.

Rich people usually value time >>>>>> money, as time can never be recovered. Money can be lost and earned at any point in time in masses, and earning money is not hard. Every second and day you live you'll only experience once, then it's gone. And the time you live here is FINITE, thus inherently short. In the last 25 years (or however old you are), did you already do EVERYTHING you wanted on this planet? Are you ready to go?

These kind of questions should help you figure the "why" behind money.
"Why would I have reason to be abrasive?"

Interviews are mostly (~80%) about evaluating the candidate for fit. They almost always have a time limit. The interviewers job is sometimes made harder by a candidate who answers a question different from the one asked, or who rambles unnecessarily, or who continues talking after the interviewer is satisfied with the answer to a particular question.

In these situations, the interviewer needs to quickly cut off the candidate and move to a different line of enquiry in order to collect enough useful signal during the allotted time.

This can come across as abrasive to some people, particularly if it happens multiple times during a single interview. And the impression can be compounded if they feel the interviewer cut them off as they were saying something which would have increased their odds of success.
Other states also ship them here enmass. Notably places like Nevada and Arizona. It both helps and exacerbates the issue for CA, when CA has better infrastructure for the homeless compared to our neighboring states. As noted in the article, CA does the same thing but it’s just not as skilled as places like NY at playing hot potato with the mentally ill homeless
Interviewing is broken beyond belief, but it's just a reflection of all the opinions people hold on interviewing.

Most people's ideas on hiring are plain wrong, so of course when a company assigns these people hiring duties the process will be broken.

Also, apart from people posting stories like this on Glassdoor it seems like HR isn't generally accountable for anything as there's no way for candidates to flag bad behaviour.

I'm not sure how to fix the first problem, but management should force HR to collect unfiltered anonymous feedback from candidates in order to review their performance, to avoid having you company mentioned in such a conversation.
I often copy paste the inferred type to top level declarations, so I’m a sense it is true
I would think California attracts homeless from outside of California at least due to the temperate weather.
Plus-based subaddresses are relatively common (sendmail supports them, Sieve has RFC 5233, etc), but dot-insensitivity is/was unique to gmail as far as I'm aware.
It feels like by “people” you mean “people similar to me”, thus connecting your two statements.

I mean, I too want to use a single text editor, but I’m not sure that people generally feel the same way.
That’s a fair point, but they are also rather useless in the ultra low density country or extreme urban sprawl. They are really only extremely spread out US style cities. Where, cars are almost useless, but you can’t really walk to everything useful.

The fact that one prefers to be a mechanic or a nurse does not influence the planning algorithm (AFAIK): people are just pawns on a chess board, like any other resources.
The problem is nontermination. Static analysis of arbitrary programs to detect nontermination is the famous Halting Problem and known to be impossible.

At its core, Prolog combines term unification with a depth-first search strategy. Implement those two primitives and you get a Prolog. But there are problems where depth-first search is not the best approach (e.g. when the search space is potentially infinite), and being able to code a different strategy is important.

Modern languages support limited unification in the form of destructuring assignment. If they could make it bidirectional without also completely confusing everyone used to more traditional programming languages, Prolog wouldn't have many advantages left.
Hem it's not a GMail specific feature but a common one (sub-addressing/plus addressing, RFC 5233) that skip inbox and drop messages in the +$name/tag dir/label...

The GMail specific feature is adding dots as you want in your mail localpart so (foobar, f.oo.bar, f.o.o.b.a.r etc @gmail are the very same mailbox).
I've suggested that myself. It's a factor I'm familiar with.

I have zero reason to believe that this fully accounts for one of the 50 states being home to one out of every four homeless Americans.
I and a couple friends I helped move had a pretty good experience for IKEA stuff. We opted not to take apart the furniture unless neccesary except for tables. Most of the furniture survived except a couple scratches. I personally like to choose the series thats thicker. Wayfair on the other hand is a hit or miss. Maybe it's because we can't tell the quality online.
That’s the point: business won’t have people do something that’s not worth what they have to pay them. That’s what the OP said: “Can't produce that much? no work for you.
This ensures that, even in the article's revised view, those who do suffer are those most needy.”
Most competitive games if you want to play at the highest level are extremely tactical and thus intellectually engaging.

Top players all have top tier mechanics and then it mostly comes down to tactics, the ability to metagame etc.

I personally enjoyed Dota in the past, for that reason, although I currently play games with smaller multiplayer sessions.
Yeah, if you read to the bottom I apologize for this.

>Competing on a few key sectors is easy when you sacrifice the livelihood of your whole nation, spoil their property, and send millions to the Gulag to deter any political opposition.

Don't forget that Russia (and thus USSR) started of as a poor agrarian nation to begin with, much behind in industrialization than the US, UK, etc.

The pictures of huge queues aside, USSR was a huge jump in standards of living and consumption for millions of people compared to before (which even included a tradition of serfdom).

USSR had also started quite early with non-central planning (NEP was a "free market" attempt similar to today's China), but ended it to quickly allocate resources between WWI and WWII to being able to withstand invasion. Quite prescient it was too.

I'd say USSR would have done much better without Stalin at the helm, without WWII that had a 30+ million human toll, and with NEP continued (it was stopped sometime in the late 20s).

>And the Soviets did not compete in "Science". They competed on military and space exploration mainly, but most of the other areas of Science were left dry by the Soviets, or left to crazy experimentation based on pseudo science in agriculture.

Maybe invest in some science history books? The "crazy experimentation based on pseudo science in agriculture" (Lysenko I guess) is a known early example (then again the west had its own share or pseudo science, remember lobotomies?), but they had tons of important scientists and engineers in all fields, much beyond "space exploration and military" -- from Kolmogorov to Basov, and tons of inventions we depend upon today...
This for me, I can barely compose a text message on a phone. With the formatting and indentation required for programming it would be a nightmare. Might be solvable with a text editor app but then I’m missing key dev tools I may need.
High speed rail can’t do multiple quick stops. So, you can get to a city’s center with it, but acceleration and deceleration times plus station time means you are stuck with subways for in city use. You can’t use high speed rail and and a subway system to move very far and still have a 45 minuet commute.

So, now you need to live near HSR and your job also needs to be next to HSR in order for that trip to work.
On a related point, I visited Sunnyvale from the UK last week and was surprised to see legions of battered RVs parked on the backstreets in the area. What's going on there? Is it workers who can't afford to rent in the area?
>Nobody really decided there to be only one factory that produces hard drives; it is a consequence of hard drives being particularly difficult to produce.

Are they? To the point that some factories in Thailand had all/most the knowledge and equipment to do so?

I'd say it's exactly they were located in Thailand for exactly the same reason a planned economy would focus on: "greater efficiency (saving money)": it was convenient and cheaper to get them made there (except when it suddenly weren't).
Smart-ass answer, but the fences are financial and very real. If you have no money, how are you supposed to afford to travel to a completely different part of the country where you have no friends or family, find a job and rent an apartment?

IMVHO it's modern management problem: today instead of delegate responsibility there is a super-concentration at top of the hierarchy hoping that tech and "modern management model" can make that possible. As a result companies are full of byzantine bureaucracy and essentially no one can work well.

And we see results every day.

I think the origin is the extension of Ford-model idea of easily to find and substitute "dumb" workers that only know to turn a key. That model does not work in the long terms and because of that automotive industry switch to Toyota model. Unfortunately someone in "top positions" thought that Ford model is nice, dumb people are easy to manage, predictable, expendable etc so they push it as mass as they can at all level of our society.
Thanks for the clarification. I guess you did not downvote me. As always, reasonable interesting people do not downvote so easily.

What resources of and on Earth are scarce in your opinion ?

Depending on skills and technology, they are not scarce for a world population of 10 billion humans or they are scarce with a world population of 1 human.

> and because of our mind-boggling stupidity, sheer arrogance and our inability to deal with our tribal instincts.

Yes, most societies worldwide are very insane. Obvious proofs: Wars and military and poverty in 2018. All elected and re-elected US presidents being evil mass murdering war criminals.

IMO, humanity is not so insane that humanity will die out. If people became vegan and current morality and practices and technology improved we could live in a biological paradise even with 10 billion people.

>> Yeah. That was me. A friend of mine tried to clue me in to Prolog about twenty years ago and I didn't "get it".

If it helps, I remember a senior programmer of mine once saying that out of 35 people in his Master's class, nobody really got it.

It's the way that Prolog is taught at uni. I think, because there is so much material to cover and it's very hard to know where to start, most courses end up teaching whatever the tutors think are the most important bits. Most end up teaching it as any other language, starting from the syntax and going to examples of "how to do such-and-such in Prolog" - like, how to loop over a list etc.

That is how I learned Prolog myself and it took me, I don't know, ten years? Before I could really get about half of what was going on. I think a much better approach would be to start with the theory of logic programming- spent two or three courses covering propositional and first order logic, then Horn clauses, subsumption and resolution, then when the students have at least a general idea of what logic programming is all about, get started with Prolog- which, after all, is just one possible logic programming language. Cover what it does best, what compromises it makes and what is good and bad about it. Instill some enthusiasm in the language. It's a really brilliant piece of theory and engineering and there's very good historical reasons why it is the way it is, the good and the bad, and the ugly.

>> My strong suggestion to any programmers reading this: learn and use Prolog.

Absolutely. Even more so- learn logic, and logic programming. Its impact on the way you code and the way you think is going to be huge. Hugely positive, that is.
I think I've told this story before, but several years ago I discovered this stuff for myself.

I had tidied up a script distribution that had been unloved for a while and got a bit out of hand. I'd been working at home on a Debian laptop, and committed my changes back to Subversion - one of which was to gather up and organise some auxiliary files into one neat and tidy directory. Naturally, since the script already had ./bin, ./lib and ./etc, I went with aux.

I came into work after the weekend to find my Windows-based colleagues, who were in the habit of checking out a single working copy of the entire repo, in full panic mode because "Subversion is broken, IT say we might have lost everything"...

These days I name aux directories 'etc'.

>All rich countries, except a few oil producers, have become rich by sweatshop-like labor. It's the one way that actually works. By banning it, you are not forcing third world countries to find some other way, you are forcing them to remain in poverty.

Rich countries have also used feudal ownership, slave labor, and colonies. And all allowed child labor. Maybe we should allow those too?

The "way that it actually works" depends on what people tolerate and find acceptable. There's nothing written in stone, societies can drive their fate, not the other way around.
I had a member from the Uber team contact me directly via email by using a template they had prepared for everyone they contact. I knew because they used the wrong name. I declined to do anything with Uber, not just because they couldn’t put in a little effort to write directly to me on our first contact, but in part because of all the terrible media talk about Uber culture and treatment of employees.
The complexity involved in making PoS “work” just increases the attack surface and enables political games around which workaround to implement next. And political games are decided by money, which is exactly what brings MR=MC, just like in PoW.
