Haskell is a bad language, in my opinion, because you can't tell what the O(n) run-time is for any operation. Instead you just have to "trust" that it'll be fast enough.

All of the answers seem insufficient. Basically you can't estimate Haskell run-time unless you are very familiar with the internal Haskell engine.

Sorry, my bad. For some reason I thought these were loans and not actually renting.

If one party has to make monthly payments, then what else do they think it is? And how can adults in this world not understand how interest rates work.

I don't think they had coastal cities or farming back then.

Missing Elysium and Children of Men.

In feudalistic society there were hundreds of small "governments" in a society, all of which had to defend their own rights.

Reminds me of when I used to work at Cisco. All the software there for routers must be written in C. As a result everything takes much longer than it should.

In typical conversation people will say "800 A.D.", so I think you're wrong.

Sounds like they are doing great things with investors' money.

Schools are more similar to prisons than infrastructure.

Why do you want to sit near other people? Then they can see what time you come in or leave the office.

I'm going to mount an umbrella in a few days to block the overhead lighting. I requested that the lighting be turned off, and it was, but another employee (who only comes to the office once per week) had it turned back on a few days later.

It makes me feel like the sun is shining on my face, and I want to seek shelter.

Having your back to the wall and no overhead lights.

Or maybe it's to produce as much CO2 as possible.

SQL is an amazing and very useful tool to work with. I will never understand why people want to abstract it away.

Plastic is the least of Delhi's problems. First they should be banning vehicles that don't meet emission standards. I visited there twice and I'll be lucky if I don't come down with some lung problem.

Edit: They should ban the burning of plastic, not plastic itself. And enforce it.

You're also allowed to own 100 Lamborghinis, but that doesn't make it feasible for most people.

Public stock is much more liquid.

Procrastination is often caused by wanting to do something but not knowing exactly what to do. The solution is to cut it up into bite-sized pieces and start doing them one at a time.

They're potentially able to profit from it, but they feel the need to have thousands of employees.

I stopped drinking coffee because it was making me feel too anxious. I also stopped caring about my total productivity per day for the same reason. Instead I make sure I just do something per day.

If the price collapses then the cost of electricity will be greater than the mining rate

If you've been to India, you'd see it's much closer to anarchy than the US. There's almost no respect for the law. Car drivers don't even pull over to the side of a road to let cop cars with flashing lights go by. At train stations people sell fake tickets from scam booths, and can do so for months or years because they bribe the police or are ignored.

Do infants ask?

Animals

Healthcare isn't truly 'universal' until it is also applied to non-humans.

If you're logged into it on your phone/computer, it's evidence that you created the account. Or else you logged into someone else's account which is also a ToS violation.

They could look at your phone or computer and see which Facebook account you are logged into. This won't prove you created it but even logging into it is possibly a ToS violation.

It violates the Facebook ToS to have an account with a name that doesn't match your ID.
