Loneliness is a problem AI will fix. 100s of personalities that can be virtual and in humanoid robot form.

lot of opportunities similar to this. Flag satellite images with villages appearing to be poor. Parachute down donated supplies automatically with drones. Just randomly send bits of wealth across poor villages in africa/india

machine learning / data science

Housing affordability in rich cities prevents the poor, who are on opiods, from moving to where better opportunities are.

Increasing housing supply in silicon valley and subsidizing moving are the cure

Masses of humans working at restaurants does not make a country rich. A sign the America is losing it's wealth

It's pretty simple to sart off with php/mysql. Paul Graham does a lot of data mining on it for moderation (he made applying naive bayes to spam filtering famous a while back).

If you don't have programming skills you're better of off just starting a subreddit. The hard part in these is building the community.

A better strategy might be to find a subreddit with a community and try to take over it somehow (communicate with mods or pay them to take over).

It's really difficult to get hired (I'm 34 and can't get into the system). However freelancing and doing your own MobileApp/SAAS/CAAS (cognition-as-a-service) is a viable activity, it just takes a longer time to get to a decent income.

Yes/No (it's been 2 weeks, only a couple of email enquiries/telephone interviews).

I've got no job experience and no college education so it's an uphill struggle. I'm trying to innovate with the resume to overcome that (I can code/write etc, but don't have the standard papers/references).

I took the alternative approach of auto-generating my resume from my code https://plus.google.com/104659641866805928410/posts/UeNDaZhE...

This is why marriage and civilization was invented. 80% per cent of men in their 20s not getting women would lead to revolution in earlier times, but today TV, internet and plentiful food distract them from this.

Eastern cultures (india/china etc) have a relative advantage now, precisely because of their culture. Think of all the lost productivity from emotional hardships from most men in their 20s and lots of women in their 30s in western countries.

There's little reason to use python instead of haskell these days.

- compiled code, fast

- cleaner, nicer, conciser syntax

- type safety built in

- pattern matching

- numpy equivalents are now available

- purity (see John Carmack talking about how it helps when codebases get large)

To switch from python to haskell easily within minutes, realize that a python function is simply do notation in haskell. So replace assignment (=) with arrow (<-) and write with "func v1 v2 = do".

Then pure functions are those without do and no assignment written lisp/scheme style. "$" means you can get rid of the parentheses.

After that, declaring types is equivalent to expressing how syntax tree can be written. You can use these to plan out how you attack your problem and then let compiler help you when writing out your functions. You could even just write out types and outsource the function writing to someone else (similar to your oo architects can parcel out code writing).

So, all python, golang, and ruby programmers - you really should check out haskell and realize it's superiority. They've taken your niche.

(If anyone wants to pay me to code in haskell, send me an email at [email protected], looking for telecommute work)
