However, at least here, the idea is that if you are cash-strapped (and thus you have to rent a tiny place), you need to save money in all possible ways.

This means that you need to cook your own food. I cook, and I tell you that i couldn't make it if i had only one hot plate. I would need at least a 3-burner kitchen with a stove. And a microwave. And you shouldn't put things on top of the microwave. Plus a reasonably sized fridge, because you save money by buying in bulk.

In the same way i definitely must have my own washing machine and -if drying space isn't available- a drying machine,

> so many services are normally available covering anything
> lacking for space.

otherwise spending on a cleaning service gets very expensive here, basically in two or three months the service costs you as much as a washing machine.

Of course, not cooking your food can make a big impact on your finances here. And mind you, this (Peru) is a country with cheap meals. But cooking your own is still cheaper.

As for clothes, i can't see how 3-4 outfits is enough. I work in business suit and I need at least 3 business suits, then add the regular/casual outfits and the sport outfits and you are counting about 9-12 outfits. Business suits shouldn't be folded.
A more interesting analysis would be comment length.
Once you're wearing goodwill clothes on top of your regular clothes with a coat in winter, you end up looking quite different.
Many argue for multi-member districts to avoid that problem.
Too bad it ends at 2000, though I understand that 17 years ago may still be too soon to know what should count as history. Does anybody have a suggestion of what they think will eventually be included in such a timeline covering the last 20 years if it were made in 2100?

This could easily still be done with referendum voting, by allowing people to appoint SMEs as proxies for relevant issues.

Neither does congress, because most of their time is spent begging for money and selling legislation. So much so that they regularly pass bills that was neither authored by a congressman nor read by many of those who voted for it.

Having worked with delivering software on very short release cycles, my experience is that gaffa tape solutions often are the reason you need to "save the day" in the first place, where a well thought out solution could have saved us the headache.

The gaffa tape approach encourages further such poorly thought out modifications when the stacks of gaffa become a death trap that you either have to Indiana Jones your way through with a gun, bags of sand and a bullwhip or tear down and rewrite.
There's a "typo tolerance" option in the settings that may help?
"I knew people who died young... The best thing to do could be charge my credit cards to the max and enjoy life as best I can"

This argument relies on the assumption that 'getting nice things' yields 'enjoy[ing] life as best I can now'

This isn't necessarily true. Some people, myself included, feel much more satisfied living below our means. Above a base level, I don't think 'stuff' really makes us happier, and the security of having savings gives me peace of mind that is much more valuable and happiness-inducing than, say, an expensive car.
6 reasons why tabs are better than spaces
Much of rural Michigan is rather poor but I wonder about the comparison you are making. There aren't people living in anything resembling shacks in Michigan. At least not meaningful numbers of them.

There's even probably a bit of an inversion by now where the poorest areas are apartments in small towns rather than isolated rural homes.
There are lots of other reasons why farmers in developed countries can grow food cheaper than those in developing countries:

- access to capital. A modern family farm has several million dollars worth of land and several million dollars worth of machinery. Farmers don't buy $500,000 combine harvesters for no reason -- in the long run they're cheaper than the alternatives.

- security. A modern farmer just leaves millions of dollars worth of machinery in his yard, usually unlocked.

- information. In developed chemicals the government & universities put out lots of information about techniques, seed varieties, chemicals, machinery, timing, weather forecasting, et cetera

I kinda wish it worked more like UJS though, rather than rendering a partial with <script> tags it could be just rendering some arbitrary <div> tag that, when it exists on the page, fires an event for rendering a partial asynchronously on the page. the UJS helpers for doing this already exist, because `link_to remote: true` is a thing. instead of making the GET request when the link is clicked, we're just triggering the link to be clicked right there in the page.
I just spent the last couple months working on getting my 2-3TB of backups uploaded to ACD. I had to spend a lot of time fighting with Comcast's slow upload speeds and their 1TB/month data limit. ACD was awesome because I could actually afford it. And now I probably can't.

Wouldn't making the plans in 5-10TB increments have also stopped most of the abuse?
Can you name anything that doesn't have two people with opposite opinions on either side of it?

edit: I just looked up Lomberg's opinion, and it turns out his response to Paris is almost exactly the opposite of Hansen's. Hansen wants to increase the price of carbon, Lomberg says "Instead of trying to make fossil fuels so expensive that no one wants them – which will never work – we should make green energy so cheap everybody will shift to it."
He's doing it in English.

For a French president to do that is impressive. France used to push real hard to restore their language to pre-eminence against English. Now, that is no longer their top concern.

$10M invested in index funds within 10 years is my ultimate goal. This will enable me to essentially live my current lifestyle without needing to worry about work.

More immediately, saving up for a down payment and house fund ($30k for the down, $10k for the house fund) and an emergency nest ($30k) are what I'm looking at.

The credit card thing was interesting. I used to be pretty vigilant about keeping debt down especially with how high my student loan debt was at the time ($200k, now $48k) But then I discovered credit card churning. I tried to churn cards to collect airline miles, so I signed up for a few of them. I also used to get bonuses ($20k or so) that would pay off whatever debt I amassed in one fell swoop. Those bonuses eventually stopped coming (i left finance), but my spending didn't drop off. I also never did a good job at tracking them. (I do now and have for the last year.) One thing lead to another, and I eventually piled on $40k.

The ironic thing is that I eventually became a travelling consultant and now amass plenty of miles without even trying.

I'm afraid of working so hard that I'll neglect her.
This is a weird comparison. Grafana + InfluxDB is quite powerful. No mention of InfluxDB at all.
The problem is that pirates started encrypting their data, which breaks deduplication.

Deduplication saves a TREMENDOUS amount of storage. The pirates store all the same stuff; "scene" releases of movies and TV shows and porn ripped from web sites. I would be very surprised if they got less than a 1000:1 duplicate ratio on accounts with over 1TB of unencrypted data.

It's completely viable to offer truly unlimited storage for $60/year as long as pirates don't encrypt. Once they encrypt, that business model collapses.
1) How does the satellite come into this.

2) How does the C&C server complete the request. Are the hanging ports on the victim's side?

3) If the C&C server completes the connection, how do they carry on talking? Just like spoofing IPs, you can't ever get a reply. Or do they do the John decoy thing for every packet?
I think that Adafruit uses them, too.

What I notice with their results is that they start strong, but fall off very rapidly into partial gibberish.

For example, say I want to make a battery-powered project. I search "lipo." The results start out promising; charging boards, including a few options tailored to specific popular boards. But by the time we get to the end of page 1, only every other result or so is actually relevant. Useful results like batteries and connectors are interspersed with random microcontrollers, LEDs, motors, etc.

Still, it works and you can always refine by category if that sort of thing really bothers you. It seems like a pretty solid solution, and the issues I'm mentioning are probably caused by the implementation, which I'll bet uses the full text description of entries to weight things towards not excluding a potentially-relevant result.

Not suggesting merits of either system. Just saying that if the supply is not based on some gold standard scheme, then for all intents currency is just paper when it's printed. It assumes value when paid in wages, loaned, etc. Effectively, it has to be laundered. The middle class is best at laundering because their ratio of earning power to debt to spending power. If the middle class shrinks, a money system that depends on it will lose value.

I don't know, I think they'd find a lot of suffering in common. The sharecropper can sympathize with the tragedy of property ownership. The coal miner has nightmares about seeing his canary drop. And the battlefield medic definitely knows everything about missing semi-colons.

Actually, that's a pretty bad config:

Mobo does not support 4x16 PCIe lanes (that's why they didn't want you to add 4 GPU cards).

Romans didn't just pillage, they also planted stuff like chestnut trees as they moved up and down Europe, so that they could use them in following years. Regardless, I find it difficult to believe that already-struggling tribes would further starve themselves just in case this or that opponent tried to invade. It's much more likely that they simply weren't able to grow much more in what was a hard soil, without the stronger plows that would be used later on to break such soil more effectively; especially when a lot of these people were still basically nomadic.

Production beyond the Rhine simply was not great even in times of peace, before the middle ages. Rome ended up controlling most of the German territory through client states anyway, even sending troops for punitive raids and propping up this or that friendly ruler, so they knew the economic potential of those lands pretty well; they just renounced full invasion because it was not worth the risk. At a time when they were already hitting what we could call scaling limits in their ability to mobilise troops over long distances, there was little appetite for going further North, where clearly there were no riches waiting for them. A similar assessment was done for Scotland, and rightly so.
1. I would be careful to paint with that broad of a brush.

2. Awareness can most certainly lead directly to frustration.

Some of it could be that, but there are plenty of issues where they are mostly independent of worldview. The frustration comes from the solution that is not yet known or cannot be implemented. Have that on dozens of big issues and frustration is understandable.

>it's not a one-sided issue

It's totally a one sided issue. Abuse and fraud are not specific to Amazon, they are attempted at every business and industry under the sun.

It's just not credible to believe they initially thought the offer was long term sustainable without any limitations, protective terminations for abuse, etc. This is no more complex than what it appears. A deliberate, and effective, marketing campaign that would eventually have to come to an end.

Maybe they could at least use some kind of old school caveat like "while supplies last", or "until the rate of user acquisition is strategically outweighed by the subsidies required to absorb our losses".
Avocado toast was meant to be both literal and a metaphor for a larger issue beyond just toast.
I'm not a compiler expert, but it seems like some of these should be unnecessary, especially with Rust's strong knowledge of types and ownership lifespans. Like this example from the article:

let nopes : Vec<_> = bleeps.iter().map(boop).collect();
let frungies : Vec<_> = nopes.iter().filter(|x| x > MIN_THRESHOLD).collect();

where he recommends avoiding the first collect(). Can't the optimizer do that for you if you don't do anything else with nopes?
But the main reason closely related languages tend to have similar words is because the word existed before the languages diverged. When the already distinct languages borrow a word independently, the word might have a different story or source behind it.
You touch my heart...

I think in live, we go through phases. Once my best friend told me my ex, lied to me for six years and both of them stop talking to me.

It was a huge disorienting dilemma. It implied a lot of suffering, even desires of committing suicide. Then I started to do tens of therapies of different types, meditations of different types, studied psychology and physiatry and overall, I think all the experience was profit. But was difficult.

Right now, I think is really difficult to change the way we see live from a comfort zone, as there is no incentive for the brain to change that values. Being said that, we can improve behaviour from the comfort zone. Not the values.

Coming back to your comment, after your best friend and your girlfriend betray you, all the trust schemes are destroyed, and any partner that I found... fears kick in, and I ran away.

So I decide to stop trying to have a partner, and let my brain to do its magic, and decide for me when I should fall in love.

What do they mean by ultraconserved? From their examples, consider "I", "we", and "who" which are "Yo", "nostotros", and "quíen" in Spanish. If there is that much difference between closely related PIE languages, maybe I don't understand what they mean by "ultraconserved".
This post is muddying arguments by mixing everything in healthcare together. Lasik has gotten much better AND much cheaper because people shop around. There are many more things that can be handled like this. Instead, doctors and patients tests to be on the safe side because it is "free".

Lets take a quick aside for MRIs. The machine has a high fixed cost but the margin cost is pretty low. Just the time of the operator and 2 minutes of a doctors time to read it. They actually cost between 1k-12+k. Why is there such a huge cost difference? This would not happen anywhere else. Yes, MRI might be required right now but they can also be required in a few days, or weeks. Some cases you can wait and see if it is needed at all. All of the people could shop around and go to the 1k place. Right now there is no incentive to shop around. If there was an incentive, the 1k places would get way more business. Some people would still be willing to pay 14k but it much smaller. Eventually they would need to lower prices to stay in business. In all markets, most people are willing to pay more than the list price. However, the list price is determined by the marginal customer. Eventually the person that would have paid 100k would still only need to pay 1k.

Your example of knee surgery works the same way. If you are paying the whole cost or even 25% of the cost, you will care about the cost. You will want a good doctor that will actually fix your knee. But you would not want to pay 2x the going rate from a slightly better doctor. With other big expenses like buying a home, car, getting married, or even buying a computer, people read reviews, consider several options, and look for a good value. With healthcare, they only care about quality since there is no price.

People need many goods beyond healthcare. They need food, water, and shelter. We still can have prices for all those things. I am baffle by your definition of a guaranteed market. Yes there is guaranteed market for food but that does mean that any given supplier will get that market. It seems like you are assuming a monopoly or something. Finally, none of this precludes supporting health care of poor people or have insurance to protect people from getting huge amounts of healthcare debit.
Fortunately truck drivers are well paid.
Yup.

Supply side policies have greatly distorted many of our markets. What is the true price of anything any more? How are we supposed to manage stuff if all the numbers are make believe?

You can look up ETF-price-to-asset-price ratios. For example:
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/IVV

Right now the price is listed as $245.48 and the NAV is $243. That's a 1% difference and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if some of that is Yahoo's NAV price estimate being stale because someone has automated the conversion of the price difference into free money using computers. Probably multiple someones.
Haven't read the entire thing, though there's good stuff in there. One disagreement I have is with the use of slides. Slides should only be used for things that cannot be described merely through words. Mostly graphs and code. Photos, inspirational quotes, and cat gifs should be insulting to the audience because they are distracting, convey no information, and are just an appeal to your senses. Even the second and third best public speakers don't use slides as a crutch, and really nobody should. Public speaking should be entertaining, but it's the speaking itself that should be entertaining. I would rather try be like one of the best public speakers than impress people with my mad web surfing skillz.
