> Figure out what the hell supply and demand has to do with price.

Are more people going to relate more to a problem framed that way, or framed as what A has to do with B?

If you're comparing the two, it's self evident that the real world example is easier for the average person to understand. People know what price of a good is. People know that factories make goods, so there must be some supply. Demand is maybe more foreign, but I admit this domain is not the most widely understood... just off the cuff to make a point.

The solution to both problems is the same, does not require specialized domain knowledge at all, so I don't get your point.

There are plenty of more culturally widely understood domains we could use, rather than economics. Physics is of course the easy go to. Not sure what you mean by ridiculous views on physics, clarify?

Yes, it does. An adult in this situation says "dude, did I write a shitty code! Thanks for fixing it, good job!"

At the time, joining groups in Signal was an involved process and the friction was higher than "a volunteer lead stands at the check-in desk and shows the QR code to each volunteer as they arrive for the day." Plus, most people didn't have Signal installed; almost everyone, and realistically the "almost" doesn't apply any more, has WhatsApp.

Signal's new groups work much more akin to WhatsApp and maybe I can bring it back up again once the pandemic has fully subsided.

> The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics—Paul Halmos

Paul Halmos taught for two years in the 1970s at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I was an undergraduate majoring in linguistics. I was also interested in math, and I ended up taking three courses from him: an introduction to mathematical logic, with about twenty students; a seminar on set theory and the foundations of arithmetic, with four or five students; and a one-on-one tutorial on point-set topology.

For the latter two courses, he taught based on his “do mathematics” principle. He would provide us with definitions of basic concepts and then have us work through a series of not-so-difficult problems that led eventually to proofs of the major theorems. He let us do most of the work ourselves, though if we got stuck he would provide pointers to help us keep moving ahead. His method was inspired by that of Robert Lee Moore [1], though Halmos was not as hard-assed about it as Moore reportedly was [2]. In the seminar, he encouraged the students to work together.

More than forty years later, I remember many details of the two problem-based courses, while the first course, in which he lectured on mathematical logic, has mostly slipped from my memory.

Have you ever tried to argue with an average person? Those deductions aren't simple to make at all.

> Are more people going to relate more to a problem framed that way, or framed as what A has to do with B?

All students have already seen countless of examples of what A and B can be. So when they see an equation with A and B they can relate it to apples, to money, to distances, to mass, to temperature etc, at once. If you use special names for the variables most students assumes that the equation only works for those variables and either memorises it or tries hard to understand what makes those input kinds special.

Edit:

> Physics is of course the easy go to.

If you use physics then your class is no longer a math class but a physics class. It takes years for students to build intuition for even basic physics.

> Not sure what you mean by ridiculous views on physics, clarify?

Before newton people didn't understand rate of change or movement properly, instead they came up with shit explanations like this:

> Based on Aristotelian physics, Scholastic physics described things as moving according to their essential nature. Celestial objects were described as moving in circles, because perfect circular motion was considered an innate property of objects that existed in the uncorrupted realm of the celestial spheres. The theory of impetus, the ancestor to the concepts of inertia and momentum, was developed along similar lines by medieval philosophers such as John Philoponus and Jean Buridan. Motions below the lunar sphere were seen as imperfect, and thus could not be expected to exhibit consistent motion. More idealized motion in the "sublunary" realm could only be achieved through artifice, and prior to the 17th century, many did not view artificial experiments as a valid means of learning about the natural world. Physical explanations in the sublunary realm revolved around tendencies. Stones contained the element earth, and earthly objects tended to move in a straight line toward the centre of the earth (and the universe in the Aristotelian geocentric view) unless otherwise prevented from doing so.[25]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_physics#Medieval_Eu...

That was what the best of humanity could come up with over 2 millennia. You can't expect an average modern high schooler to do better than that without first being taught physics.
People are different, with different desires, personalities, mentalities, ..... Isn't it only natural then that 'happiness' would be different from one person to another?

Is this really the future you want to live in? I would like there to be a sane tradeoff between density and proximity to the city center.

I stayed in an Airbnb in a central neighborhood in Barcelona (l'Eixample IIRC) and I found it to be pretty cramped quarters. I'm not sure how much difference there is between one apartment building and the next, but I have more space living in San Francisco right now and I still would like to have more. I personally would not like to live in SF if I had to live in housing that small.

I want a garage, I want another room in my apartment, and I want a driveway where I can wash my car. I also want to live in a thriving city with lots of interesting people to meet and things to do. I recognize that these are contradictory desires. I think the latter desire is more healthy for society, but I think there is definitely a reason I feel the former desire. It's because that's how I grew up.

I think that Americans, culturally, value space more than perhaps some other cultures do. I think that trying to fight against that is a losing fight. You will not get any policy passed if you lead with "banning single unit detached homes". That is far and away the most popular housing option in the United States and absolutely what the average American thinks of when they think about "buying" (vs renting). I walk by people living in their modern, rectangular condos big glass windows that let me see everything in their house at once and I cringe - who on earth wants to live in tiny terrarium that costs $4000 a month? Like it or not, most people feel this way about condos. Also like it or not, a lot of people basically think that these are the only two options, because that's all that they've seen.

I think we need to just allow the missing middle. There are people who like high-rise condos, and there are people who like single family homes, and there are probably a lot more people who, when presented with the financial advantages of the middle options, would choose something in between.
We need to stop subsidizing people who choose to live in the wildlands urban interface. It's a hazard to the rest of us.

> If the review seems coherent and plausible, that's enough for most people

> hope that his favourite brand isn't also the one paying the most, and then disclose all the commissions.

I'm thinking that if the site visitors have a way to see that usually the site promotes other brands than the highest paying, then that'd be good enough. At the same time, why would they trust the disclosure info :-)

Another thought: if his/her favorite brand didn't pay enough, s/he could just disclose the commissions, but not write any review. (To encourage that brand to pay more)

I went through an interview loop for their platform engineering team.

The technical depth that the interview went was not very deep. They were asking me questions about how I would replace a CPU in a server. Physical server. The whole interview was just one person after another asking basic questions, and then they said they wanted to extend me an offer. Not a very competitive one at that.

Culture also seems like an issue, as you have to use their internal translation apps to talk to mainland coworkers and I didn't get a good vibe about general skill on staff. And that is before the fact that it's China.

I wouldn't have taken the job even if they weren't chineese linked. It did not sound like a great environment to work in, nor one where you could shine.

>Self-education is increasingly obtainable online

Which would be impossible if someone with a lot of money decide to hoard it instead of investing in YouTube.

You can't guarantee that when people spend less money, they'll favor cutting out "bad" things over "good" ones. If something is causing ecological externalities, you can tax always tax it. If something has positive externalities, but you didn't raise enough money in taxes, you can fund it by printing more money.

>Worse for who? Humans?

Half the world lives off less than $5.50 a day. They don't have the luxury of caring about the environment. Madagascar nearly completely deforested, just from burning fuel for heating and cooking, so it's not like it's guaranteed that less economic activity is going to be any better for the environment. Conveniently, poor people are also the ones who have most kids because they are the only source of retirement possible. The only ethical way to curb population growth is to develop the economy in those poorer areas.

*I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

that's been my approach (meanwhile years ago). People never said it to my face but I'm pretty sure they thought I was strange. The only effect it had on me was missing out on spammy gossip group chats which filled my phone with memes and annoying notifications of people's micro-emotions that they felt I needed to somehow be part of.

When I now meet these people IRL they seem often very happy for being able to break news to me. Not being in the loop added quality to my friendships and I'm also genuinely happy to meet somebody because "it's been ages". Have created the same rule with my partner some years ago and we do not text each other little updates during the day so that we can have "quality time" in the evening which we always look forward to. It felt weird at first because nobody else does this, but it helped us carving out "us time" in which there is always something interesting we can share (e.g. "delayed gratification"[1] is grossly underrated in our time)

Most friends have meanwhile switched to Signal so I'm now more in the loop than 2 years ago. Though I never bring it with me when I leave the house so making an appointment with me and cancelling on last minute will be a problem (one I actively want to have - as strange at it sounds). Also I bring respect to any IRL conversations by _not_ having the chance fiddling with my phone. (I don't demand the same courtesy from my peers but I like tho think as of leading by example). So my mobile is a landline that uses radio :-)

Providing well named variables isn't slower.

It's not faster to code using one letter variable names, for obvious reasons. Because you're bounded by time to understand and make decisions, and not by how long it takes to press a few keys.

I don't advocate teaching more slowly, but teaching more effectively. Teaching "top down" is more effective, and not widely used, from what I've seen.

In your example you describe a multi-year period where basic examples are given in early childhood, and then made more generic over time. That's similar to what I'm describing, but not really the same.

I'm describing the same methodology but done repeatedly with any new domain being learned.

When you learn a new concept in computer vision, this methodology can still apply. Sure, you can throw the formula to do some image transformation at somebody and have them go at it. But showing it being used, explaining the logic behind it in natural language and so forth will convey the idea much more effectively.

The "bad" math education that turns so many people off tends to be more of a "bottom up" approach, solve 10 generic and meaningless problems using this formula.
