I think its more about trust and trust of products, historically we've believed women and children to be weaker and more vulnerable as people which is in turn why we depict them as so in sexist attacks: "Women are not good enough" and men are depicted traditionally as "strong, tough and burly" which I would say is also a wrong and stereotyped point making it harder for many men who are not like that or might need a break but can't because they have to maintain their "tough" image.

Thus Johnson & Johnson breaking that delicate trust over the issue of vulnerable women and children shows them as profiting from the "weak" and "precious" using products they knew were wrong. Society does not look well upon harmful exploitation at the profit of a few but expense of many, especially when you buy talc powder to use for children trusting that it won't harm you.
This kind of has a very simple point - advice is useful iff your problem is caused by bad choices, and advising to make better choices can help. If your problem is caused by external forces that your choices can't change much, then it's better to devote all your energy to doing stuff instead of looking for advice on how to do stuff better, because there's no silver bullet, you can't do significantly better, and you don't need to waste effort on looking for it.

If after non-negotiable expenses you have barely any money to budget, then budgeting advice is useless as your budgeting choices don't matter much. Career advice, on the other hand, may be useful in that case.

If you're unable to work because of a disability or other factors, then career advice is useless as your career choices don't matter much, but financial tips on how to get the medicine you need in the most affordable way may be useful.

I agree such a study could be interesting, although anecdotally I presume (ignoring inflation) there are more shifts in expenditures vs flat out increases.

Ten years ago, someone paying for a landline, cable subscription, and iTunes song downloads is probably paying for a mobile plan, one or more video streaming services, and probably one music streaming service.

Presumably the gig economy has also caused shifts. I track all my expenses. Last year, I paid ~$9,200 over the course of the year for my auto payment, auto insurance, and parking fees alone, not counting gasoline or maintenance.

This year, I’ve spent < $600 on transportation because I now only walk or use Uber and Lyft.

Remember though - at least in the US, outside of the large cities, there’s still that population that lives in small towns. I have family in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. For people in those specific towns, you don’t see Uber very much because everyone has a vehicle. There is no 1 hour Prime Now delivery. The gig economy is less impactful than a place such as Seattle or San Diego.

She knows she's already fucked. Not going to make rent. Already in debt and dodging bailiffs and debt collectors and intimidating loan-sharks, none of whom she has any chance of paying off. Hoping she doesn't get sick because she'll lose her job and end up on the streets. If her wreck of a car suffers a minor fault, she's going to lose her job. She knows she's already fucked. Not buying the bag of fries will not help her. She's already fucked.

Her choice is tiny bit of happiness now and lots of misery, or just lots of misery. She's already fucked. Middle class advice on making small savings to build up a pot of cash is not relevant.

I can answer the latter: it’s much easier to withhold bonuses, legally. This is why many companies will shift a percentage of compensation for non-executives from salaries to bonuses: it makes it much easier to claw that money back during down times.

The unspoken agreement is that that clawback will only be triggered when the other alternative is layoffs.
I think it's fair to say that this is less true in America, where we have essentially no social safety net.
As far as I can see, Conal does not state that FP has problems. As I read it, he sees a promise in Backus’s lecture that is not realized by contemporary functional programming.

I think the best way to approach such an endeavor might be to essentially demonstrate Clarke's Third Law in each story. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." So what you could have is essentially a bunch of stories where characters discover things that seem magical, but end up having very rational explanations (much like Federation tech in the world of Star Trek was pure magic to the less-advanced civilizations they encountered). Maybe even delve eventually into designing experiments to prove assumptions about the principles being discovered, etc, and explaining the scientific method.

It would be a great way to encourage critical thinking in kids without crossing into too fantastical a world for there to be logical explanations for some things. Even with Star Trek, where some things are potentially nonviable (transporters, for example), they still had logical explanations that make sense at a high level.

No, it's linear from basic physics.
Being a first generation American and coming from an environment of poverty, my parents sacrificed their health and lives to give us kids a better one. My father did the hardest, dirtiest work that was unfit for a beast and mother cleaned houses. They had nothing but made sure the kids had everything they needed (cloths, education, food) and through their sacrifice the chains of poverty were broken.

Millions of Immigrants come to the USA/Canada with nothing but the cloths on their backs and somehow they manage to support themselves and their families. Others are 4th, 5th Generation Americans and can't seem to get off Welfare or dig themselves out of a hole.

I don't understand.....

> That is, it was false representation used to induce people providing Robinhood things of value, and thus, arguably, commercial fraud.

That's assuming they knew the representation was false. If they reasonably expected to be able to get the insurance, claiming that they would get it was a true statement of their intentions.

if the author has a degree as claimed, then the author is eligible for a number of better jobs, even part time ones, and doesn't have to work to flip burgers. Substitute teaching pays better, usually, and is easier to do; also gives you professional contacts. Getting a credential on top of your bachelor's is within reach for most people; some districts so desperate for teachers they'll hire you anyway, provisionally. With a bachelor's you can also teach SAT prep and tutor, all of which pay better than fast food. And the guy can write obviously.

I come from a poor neighborhood. I get it. Most of childhood friends are in jail or are dead. But I have a hard time believing someone with a bachelor's has to scratch it with the rest of them with multiple part time jobs, not in this economy for sure.
This is the dark underbelly of education/academia. Selling worthless dreams to young people on credit. If we didn’t have a perverse glorification of education in this country, we’d give the education industry the scrutiny and malign it deserves. (We go after pawn shops and pay day lenders but at least they provide valuable liquidity.)

And there is also an oft-missed social justice aspect to all this. Professors and teachers are disproportionately white (and by definition, college-educated): https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=61. We sell education as a way to overcome the legacy of systematic oppression of certain minority groups, but we are actually creating quite a large wealth transfer from disadvantaged minorities to college-educated white people. And members of these minority groups aren't seeing the pay-off from paying their tithes to the educational establishment. As the author notes in the article:

> A 2014 study from the Center for Economic and Policy Research revealed that an incredible 55.9 percent of black recent college graduates were “underemployed” and working in a position that didn’t require a four-year college degree.

Yes, but an ID card is enough. Most, contrary to the US, have a passport anyway, but it is not required.

Even within most EU countries it is mandatory to have an ID card or drivers license on you if stopped by the police anyway, so the border doesn't make much of a difference.
There's many examples of people who have survived cancer and lived another decade, even five decades. I highly doubt they’d spread the advice that having cancer is a hopeless disease.

The commonality is it was out of their control, they absolutely needed outside help just to survive, and that their odds were terrible. The existence of rare exceptions only highlights the fatality rate.

Unlike cancer, however, there's a known, 100% effective cure for poverty: money. GDP per employed person in the US is over $120000 while the average wage is just over $50k. The solution is obvious.

I remember (mis)using the local bookstore as my personal library during my childhood (late 80s, early 90s). The proprietor was somewhat in the mold of this author, and I learned a lot both from her as well as other patrons who stopped by, chatting, drinking copious amounts of free coffee, and buying books. In other words: it was one of those places that served far more purposes than just the economic one of distributing letters on dead trees.

Then Amazon came along, and it was obviously far better, in many respects: suddenly, I had easy access to foreign language books, for one thing.

But, less obviously, other benefits were lost. Mostly those that escape measurement by econometrics. Not just in terms of squeezing all there is out of people that are suddenly the subject of the economic force of an employer the size of Amazon. Small stores, within walking distance, i. e. the traditional "downtown" is gone, and with it all chances of surreptitiously meeting anyone from the mayor to your neighbour. It's all online now, or sometimes a big-box store outside of town within a barren cultural desert of parking lots and lots.

But the argument is hard to make: why (and how) should anyone forgo cheap prices, or the comfort of intensely personal transport, for my vague yearning of community? And so it will continue, the better future, as imagined by Kafka and brought to the big screen in Wall-E.

I'm trying to write a series of picture books for tech workers to read to their kids. The idea is that it both teaches the kid (and perhaps the parent) how a technology works, and is also fun to read in general.

I'm running into the issues you mention. Either the story is true to itself and teaches the technology and isn't very entertaining. Or I go full symbolism and write a good story. In that case, the story doesn't REALLY teach you about the technology. If you get the symbolism, it teaches how and when the technology could be useful.

At the end of the day, I'm having fun, and I think this story is more marketable than the majority of stuff I write, and I'm genuinely curious to see how people react to it.

The actual universal advice is "use that difference to pay down your existing debt, highest interest rate first. Then, after that stops being worthwhile, put your money at work." Special cases may apply - you always want a rainy-day fund, no matter what (even just the lack of stress around finances that comes with not living hand-to-mouth makes it a no-brainer) and some debt should perhaps not be paid off immediately - but I'm pretty confident that the gist is correct.

>So much to say about this. One is the optics of employing students three decades ago, another is the remarkable faith they put into one at the time - which appears to have been well founded. Today, this sort of thing would never happen.

What remarkable faith? It's a program to start/stop AC/heat units based on temperatyre readings, not to send people to Mars.

A talented high school student can write one today, and do it with a Rasberry Pi and for much less than $1 million (more like 5-10K).

Not as a student, but as a temp in a secondary education unit, I maintained and updated the payroll system used to pay ~50 schools and over 1000 teachers every month. It was a VB/MS SQL thing written by another temp a few years earlier, but it did the job.
My 8 year old laptop has Quad 2Ghz Processors and 16GB ram and a 500GB SSD. It's running ubuntu on a swing arm wall mount in my garage over my electronics station next to the lathe and below the lexan protected 4k tv. It' works great in that capacity and I don't see it dying any time soon.

8 Years ago was 2010. My replacement laptop is basically 2x the power of the old one, and that's really only for short bursts due to thermal issues. Actually the one in the garage likely is better for large parts of the year because it's cold in the garage.

Is the article proposing that you need an open source FDE solution with deniability? Considering it refers to using Disk Utility as an option if everyone is on MacOS, then I don't think that's what it is going for. It also assumes that these users are using Windows/MacOS, so the need for open source tools doesn't seem to be a primary concern for this organization. I don't personally have a lot of problems with VeraCrypt, but I think most people this article is aimed at would be well served by File Vault and Bit Locker since we have no reasons not to trust those organizations and some reasons to believe they have put their money where their mouth is when it comes to file encryption.

But yes, if what you want is open source FDE with deniability, and cross platform support (not sure why you need cross platform support for FDE) then VeraCrypt is your tool.
I'm not the OP but I have a somewhat similar mindset. My advice isn't just "save up", it's the following.

Look for a better paying job and scrape together every dime you can until then. Don't indulge in the burger or chips, spend that on making a massive pot of cheap hearty soup, stew, or gumbo that'll last you through the week. Bunker down and take free indulgences. (a free game or movie from a maybe less than official source on the internet if you have to)

And when I say look for another job, I know that sounds like horrible advice but it is valid. Look for the physically demanding job with long hours. Mine was in a mushroom packaging plant. It was hard work for 60+ hours a week and most people gave up in less than 2 weeks but it was good consistent money. Places like that exist all around. On paper they look like low income with poor work conditions but overtime is extremely helpful when you work 60+ hours a week.

Life is not by any means pleasant when you are poor but if you are as frugal as possible and know where to look you can almost always find a job that will leave you not always worrying about being able to pay the bills. Then you can start saving.
That's cool -- you might like Underwood Dudley's book on Elementary Number Theory. It has a similar set of topics, and I think it has more exercises and contains some solutions. And it's inexpensive!
His mistake is thinking that contemporary functional programming can actually realize Backus' promises.

Backus' method of programming (FP) is notably different than functional programming, and as such admits itself to a different style of reasoning.

The author wouldn't need to write this article if they simply adhered to Backus' FP, and not used contemporary functional programming.

This site simply doesn't allow discourse anymore. Not unless you already agree with somebody. Shame.

Exploring a bit, and sharing for those with similar curiosity...

This seems to have a React-ish architecture with familiar C# templating (Razor):

Razor syntax is the JSX-equivalent, which has been used for C# templating for years: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/mvc/views/razor...

Blazor Components: https://blazor.net/docs/components/index.html

Their docs are pretty scattered, especially for someone coming from React, but it seems to have similar features and lifecycle methods, albeit a bit more ersatz.

onClick => onclick (etc)
componentDidMount => OnInit / OnInitAsync
componentWillReceiveProps => OnParametersSet[Async]
componentDidUpdate => OnAfterRender[Async]
shouldComponentUpdate => ShouldRender
componentWillUnmount => Dispose

There is also a convenient `bind` which is shorthand for `value="@Foo" onChange="@(e => Foo = e.target.value)"` and a magical `<FooComponent bind-Foo="@ParentFoo">` for passing state down...

You don't seem to be able to define multiple components in a single file (which in my experience leads to bloated components).

Routing seems to be defined within the .cshtml file rather than centrally, which can get messy in my experience.

I don't see anything to support state that is shared across far-flung leafs of a deep UI tree (eg; Redux, Context), but maybe there are standard .NET constructs for that which I'm not aware of.

I don't think this is going to win anyone from the React world – some design choices seem not to grok some key insights of React – but I can imagine it taking off amongst folks who were happy with server-side Razor templating and have been unhappy with Angular.
Agreed regarding ulterior motives (keeping you in their ecosystem). In the excellent book "In The Plex" by Steven Levy, he talks about Google's motivation of essentially building a browser, mobile OS, etc just to ensure that some other party (like Apple) doesn't cut them out and reduce their search/ad domination. I believe protecting search/ads is at the base of their motives (as is, undeniably, vacuuming up tons of data and mining it for ML purposes).

But that said, why do so much for open source? Why not keep big things proprietary? Why sell Chromebooks that can be unlocked, put in dev mode, and flashed with FOSS BIOS implementations? Why allow unlocking the bootloader on Nexus and Pixel phones? There's lots of things they do that clearly aren't for the bottom line or just to trap you in their ecosystem (they do offer versions of basically everything for iOS as well, which makes it easier to switch to iPhone even if you are deep in the Google ecosystem).

Some of my argument is emotionally based tho, I will admit. After being trapped in Apple's very proprietary, anti-competitive, you-dont-own-it-we-do system, I find the ability to reclaim some freedom (tho not all, they could do better) very nice.

So I think our only real disagreement is likely regarding motives.
