How do you know if someone is being fairly compensated? My stance is that a market is likely to produce more accurate prices than any individual could, but maybe you disagree. It's true that minimum wage is very low, but it should be t

I don't mean to sound obtuse. I've heard this claim many times and I can imagine it being true, but I have no way of knowing whether it is or not. So I wanted to see what the reasoning is.

Many people make the claim that the fundamental problem of the US is wealth inequality, or no social safety net, or disdain for the poor. I believe these claims are much more common (and in my opinion could be considered more fundamental) t

Of all things, nepotism seems like an odd thing to single out. Do you have any numbers for this claim? It would be useful to hear e.g. what percentage of people secure positions through referrals/family members.

There was a change in ls which caused it to quote file names with spaces or special characters instead of (I think?) escaping them. Some people were upset because they considered this a breaking change. I'll just add that ls only does

The post was written for people who are interested in starting a company. If you're not in the financial state to be able to do so, then blogs about starting companies are probably not for you.

Bay area residents probably make up a small portion of Google's applicants. It would be more interesting to hear what percentage of their applicants are Hispanic. Of course the most important thing is: out of minority applicants who ar

I find this a little pedantic. If someone talks about maximizing their salary, it doesn't mean literally maximizing it at all cost. If someone tells you that they're interested in maximizing their income, it means that they'd

I've been wanting this for a while, mainly because I often find myself writing long function composition chains that end up being a mess of parentheses. Python is good at encouraging functional style but sometimes it ends up being too

Isn't this exactly what acephal alluded to above? > But this also was a major source of resentment and ostracization that I'm still dealing with to this day. Isn't it possible that resentment and ostracization could lead s

No, this is useful information. Thank you.

Ok, so you seem to think that landlords cooperate on pricing. My reply was to the person above who seemed to think that prices may deviate from the market rate without any cooperation. Regardless, do you have a source on the claim that hous

Wouldn't it be likely for another more rational landlord to exploit that opportunity then? Or are there some barriers?

I guess you're saying that the earnings of the 1% stifle the earnings of the 99%. Do you know how we can go about verifying this, as well as finding out what upper percentile of earners stifle the earnings of others? For example do the

How do we go about deciding what an appropriate percentage to make up 50% of AGI is? How much inequality is acceptable?

Not sure about the last two you listed, but those languages don't support parametric polymorphism which means that although you can write a `fmap` method for things, the compiler can't check its type properly. At best you can writ

The functor it returns should be the same functor it was called on, i.e. calling map on a Maybe should return a Maybe. The parameterized type can change so map can bring you from a Maybe<Int> to a Maybe<String> which is why in t
