It seems like a bad decision to pay $500-1000 for a smartphone if you can't pay upfront.

My sense is that people push their financial situation to the limit in order to get more stuff faster. You might say "if they had more money it wouldn't be an issue" but my feeling is that, for most of these people, if they had 20% more money, they'd just find the new limit. I don't necessarily fault this behavior, if the things you're buying make you happy then maybe it's perfectly rational.

But if that's true, it seems nonsensical to define poverty as "precariousness of one's finacial situation". The only definition of poverty that makes sense to me is the material one.
Here is Lua being compiled on Turbo C 1.0 (1990):

It is truly amazing how the authors have put so much effort in keeping Lua so portable - about the only dependency for running Lua on any device is having a C compiler and a bit of memory.
At least in TNG era (TNG/DS9/VOY), Starfleet was only technically "a military". While everyone still wore uniforms and followed a chain of command, the show made a huge point of Starfleet's goals being primarily diplomacy, exploration and scientific research; occasional force projection was considered a secondary and unfortunate task.

> A car isn't a necessity

If you happen to live in a city. If you live outside a big metro area, at least in the US, a car absolutely is a necessity.

Where I live, there are no buses, no cabs, no uber, nothing. I don't have children or need to haul large loads frequently, so I might be able to make it work, but it would be a HUGE quality of life hit, necessitating taking a different job nearer me which almost certainly wouldn't pay as well as what I make now, moving closer to work - if I can find anything that's nearby and reasonably priced - and/or spending large amounts of time walking/biking. If I did have children or other dependents, there's just no real way I could expect to not have a car.

If they charged you $500 up front for a phone, it would be obvious how much it's not a necessity, and they would sell many fewer phones. They would therefore sell service to many fewer phones. They don't want that. So they follow the make-your-compliment-cheap strategy (if you're selling razor blades, make the handle really inexpensive).

Whatever actually works to make things better.

The difference is applying science and rational thinking vs. soundbites and reasoning from ideology.
Or the companies are full of people who are just winging it day to day and doing what they think is best. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bolt/Volt teams are full of junior people because GM's management still thinks electric cars are golf carts for sissies.
I think you completely missed the point, it is not about collecting data consciously like you do with historical facts about your stocks, what you are doing is plain scientific research and nothing to do with intuition.

He is talking about learning things unconsciously, like the mood of your partner. It is not like you sitting with a pen an d paper logging every interaction, the data collection and feedback is done unconsciously every time you interact with them. The feedback is immediate because you can see their moods. That's what creates intuition.

It is the same thing with a soccer player who know where to run and what to do without thinking about it too much, it is the repeating experience and immediate feedback to your actions that creates this intuition.

Do any of them allow you to see a list of who's online? That feature broke on Slack. I was told it's a known bug and in the issue queue, but it has already been months without a fix. There isn't a way to see who the regulars are, and the community looks somewhat dead without a way to see who is online.

I concur. Not only is it not just about the interface, but it's about the Macintosh User Interface Guidelines and the ecosystem of applications that conform to it.

It would be nice to use a desktop environment that's inspired by the classic Mac interface (I particularly have a soft spot for the Platinum theme), but without an ecosystem of applications that conform to the Macintosh User Interface Guidelines, then all we have is yet another window manager.

It's the ecosystem of applications, like Microsoft Word 5.1, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe PageMaker, ClarisWorks, and others, combined with the Mac interface, that made the Mac so special.
Well, sure, but that's a "people cannot buy a phone outright because people cannot buy a phone outright" problem.

If you can't afford a 1000 dollar phone, then taking a loan out to buy one is completely illogical. It's a depreciating asset with diminishing returns - a 200 dollar phone does basically all the same things.

The issue is that loans have a psychological effect on some individuals which makes them more like to spend more than they would otherwise. They end up in a sort of situation where wealth doesn't exist at all and all future income is accounted for already.
I think just as the market will find a balance between passive/active, individual investors will most likely also find benefit in doing part passive part active.

I don't understand your example. What does compile-time computed stuff have to do with readInt()?

I get that it might be possible to do that, use a Maybe Maybe T. But it's like an optional<bool> in C++. It can be done, it's just not a good idea. So if you design your system not to allow that in the first place, nothing of value was lost.

If you have specific error cases that you want to communicate, like "what was read from the console didn't parse as an int" as opposed to "the computation didn't find a result", then using the two values "Nothing" and "Just Nothing" as the two distinct values to encode that is not a sound design. Either you have meaning, or you have Nothing. Nothing shouldn't have any meaning attached to it.
I sympathize with RangerScience on this one; the schism between successful individuals who refuse to acknowledge society's role in aiding their success (subsidies, infrastructure, taxes, etc.), versus the less successful who continually get steamrolled over for the former's further advantage.

Its obviously more complex than that, but I've met a few who don't help much in the former's depiction.

I know--everyone tells me this, but at this point I kind of like taking a stand against a system/culture that I consider unfair and designed to benefit banks and cc companies. While it's been inconvenient at times, I'm always able to manage.

Also, as a founder, I like to minimize the things I need to keep track of, and I prefer the simple financial discipline of only spending money I have in the bank. I do use a corporate credit card (Brex), but it's one that is specifically designed to be hands-off so that in practice it works more like a debit card.

Sidenote/plug: Brex is an awesome credit card for startups, and they have a far more enlightened approach to credit history than other cards, being started by two immigrant founders who couldn't get approved for anything despite having plenty of investment money in the bank. I was able to sign up and have a functioning card with decent limits in ~5 minutes. Pretty amazing. I have no connection to them btw (is that why I'm getting downvoted?), just a happy user.

Most businesses price discriminate by geography. A car manufacturer may charge $25,000 USD for a car in the US, but $35,000 USD for a very similar car in Asia. Brands carry different values depending on market. The car company does not want to lose out on that $10,000/car surplus.

I've spoken to a number of vendors and come across similar findings as well. Though of course, this is just observational on my part and not a detailed investigation or study, but I have been getting much the same impression. There's a lot of unnecessary hype and people jumping on the bandwagon just because it's currently a buzzword. That said, I still have a lot of faith in what Blockchain will eventually be able to achieve. It might just take longer to get there than we thought.

I remember when I was studying computer science in 1999, even though the internet had been out a while and there had been lots of talk about e-commerce no one had really solved the problem particularly well in terms of providing a platform to the average Joe, but by 2005 things were very different and then by 2015 there was no looking back. I think it's going to be the same for Blockchain.
Yes, but the field shouldn't be leveled by holding all of humanity back. That's silly. It should be leveled by giving everyone access to the technology.

You're not wrong, people that can't pay cash for a phone shouldn't be buying one. But there are a lot of expenses in that range that are more of a necessity, car tyres that OP mentioned, other car expenses, removalists fees and bond payments, a fridge breaking down. There's some even bigger ones you can't put off like funeral expenses or missing work for medical reasons.

A $500 phone gets used as an example because it's something people here will buy somewhat often and without much thought but it's missing the point to argue that there are cheaper phones.

>Conservatism tries to maintain the existing structures of society

Only in a loose, meaningless sense of the word that doesn't really tie to most conservatives in the US. Many conservatives in the US want to change structures of society, particularly WRT how much the government is involved.

>these structures are racially determined - it is just part of the history of the country

Not really. A poor white immigrant is just as disadvantaged by current laws as a poor black immigrant. Money is the #1 indicator of how hard you are going to have it in the US.

>Therefore, conservative policies will tend to maintain racial discrimination

No, they will tend to discriminate against low-income people. A larger portion of black people are low-income so people who are into identity-politics will intentionally confuse this and claim the policy is designed to hurt black people.
Right, I suppose I was thinking of the fact that a painting success or lack of success is not an opinion of the artist, but rather the critical reception of the work. I’m sure everyone who writes a book or does a painting (for the purposes of public consumption anyway) thinks that on some level it is “good”. But an artist creating a painting that is new or innovative is by definition doing something someone has never done before. Good art must be both original in some way AND “good” (subjectively). What drives an artist to create something new, and combine elements in a novel way is a form of intuition, and my argument is that form of intuition is as seperate from the type of intuion the author is referring to.

Where do an artists ideas come from? No one knows, really. But forming them into a concrete work is a type of intuition, which I think is quite different from what the author is taking about. Hence, how you define “intuition” is important. I believe there are several ways to interpret the concept, and it’s important to distinguish between the types.

> the higher position alone makes driving an SUV superior on the highway

I've heard this position from a number of people and never really understood it. It's usually related to the ability to see over other vehicles, but in times of higher traffic density where that would be most useful, there are almost always numerous larger vehicles on the road that still significantly limit vision.
