I think the map is for aesthetics, not utility. But point taken.

This is a main point in Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty. He explains the capital/income ratio and its effects on the economy. Decent write up here: http://www.robertdkirkby.com/blog/2015/summary-of-piketty-i/
Where did you get that number? No way that's right. Here are the numbers from the Fed: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A191RP1Q027SBEA
Annual per capita GDP growth never exceeded 7% from 2000-2014.
I think you meant second case (RPi), just switched up your wording.
Also not sure how much stock I put in what the recruiters on LinkedIn are touting...
I appreciate the opinion though!
Could be a microcontroller running bare-metal code or an RTOS with application code. Could be a device like you describe above which, in some cases, resemble a PC with custom I/O requirements.
The Linux device is compelling when speed (and ease) of development is important, scale is low, or the market is insensitive to pricing. Not to mention the added bonus of more processing power. On the other hand a traditional microcontroller is still compelling where volumes are high or there are strict real-time concerns.
As an embedded software engineer, I'm watching closely. Personally I'm reaching up to higher languages like Python to make myself more attractive in an industry that I see moving toward more Linux devices.
Reading the liquidation preferences section, particularly about double dipping, was a little irritating. How common are these situations?
- Use the sharpest tool in the shed (programming language, framework, etc)
- Leverage existing code
- Reflect on the problem up front before writing any code
- Relentlessly question if you really need the feature you're adding
As an American, I do believe that a culture of censorship and phenomena like the Great Firewall stifle an economy's capacity to innovate. That's not to say that innovation is impossible in such an environment, just more difficult.

Exactly, so far! What happens when the state determines that your blooming startup threatens their agenda?
To your point about making Haskell easier for newbies without impacting the core values... Rust is a great example of that. Rust can be difficult to learn, but the Rust community does a great job of explaining (and re-explaining in many cases) Rust's approach to newcomers. This is especially true when Rust handles a problem in a way that may be counter-intuitive to the inexperienced.
Here's a great example from r/Rust where a new Rust user trashes traits and the Result type: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/4rev26/why_is_rust_ma...
