Don't leave disposable income hanging around as savings in a no/low interest bank account. Invest it in an index fund with low fees (Vanguard, etc.) or better yet, figure out an asset allocation and invest in a few accumulating funds.

A good piece of advice I picked up from Rami Sethi (when it was still worthwhile reading his blog) was think about how much of your free time per month do you spend on various activities (Facebook, Gaming, etc). How much of that free time is devoted to thinking about your personal finance? If it's less than you think you should be doing, schedule it in.

Technology is very hard to get into without experience(or even with the wrong kind of experience). Healthcare, anything with a license(usually requires some kind of apprenticeship).
I think about 25 was when was on the cusp of a series of job moves/promotions in the next 5 years. I would imagine a lot of 25yo might be in the same spot (or not - whatever this is my anecdote).

Keep your cost of living the same when you see large pay bumps or raises. This means the big things like car, house/rental, etc. Don't just go get a new car and increase your spending or move to a "nicer" apartment or buy a house because you have the money available. Keep the car, stay in the apartment and save the extra money.

People will stay that owning a home is an investment - maybe in some areas it is - but not all. If home values are relatively flat in that area or grow very slowly then it is a losing proposition. You will be paying property taxes, school taxes and all the other "taxes" of owning a home: maintenance, repairs, accumulating "stuff" to fill it, etc. If the growth in that area is slow then that is all money down the drain - you won't get it back when you sell.
Without having read anything of the implementation.. That is little short of astounding.

But to compensate for the less, they get more in other areas. The less they're saddled with is dictated by circumstances, not as some form of cost cutting. In fact, no expense is spared on the more they're given - the best training and best equipment. They don't have to do more with less, they have to do more with more, in harsher conditions.
- credit card debt is an emergency and optimizing any other money stuff while you carry it is like rearranging your sock drawer while your house is on fire

- save 25x your annual spending and never work again

- start by saving at least something (even 1%) and save 50% of all future raises

- long commutes are for fools. So are new cars--buy used.

- spend on things that you value. I've given myself a tech budget for years because good tools matter to me

- host a dinner party instead of eating out (most of the time)

- If you have a gamblers mindset to investing, carve out a small portion (10%?) of your money and use it for risky investing. I call mine the 'casino fund'. Track your returns.

- read voraciously about finance and early retirement. You only need about 20 books or so to gain a background that is easily more valuable than your college degree. This is a good start:

When I google for "webpack someproblem" then the the first results are usually pointing to the webpack 1 docs. I often don't even find documentation for webpack 2 on the first page, unless I explicitly search for "webpack 2". It took me some time, but now I'm always appending the version number to all my searches. I think Angular has/had the same problem.

Edit: and luckily it's easy to discern the webpack docs: v1 docs look ugly and are lacking information, v2 docs look much nicer and are more detailed ;) They did a great job so far improving the documentation.

This article is very interesting, I didn't realize that there was evidence that cat's have not been domesticated. I had always assumed they were, and often puzzled at the difference in behavior between them and other domesticated animals. The fact that cats aren't considered to domesticated explains a lot!

I also had a long time cat companion, after 11 years we had to have my cat put down (late stage inflammatory bowel disease). It was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

I'm only 30, so it's not like 25 was particularly long ago for me. But since then, I've gotten married, which is a major life change (overall for the better for me!).

But if I could go back to age 25, before I was married, I'd have told myself to travel to more far-flung places. Being married, I have to:

A) Agree with my wife on where we want to travel

B) Have time to travel that works for both of our schedules (which is difficult to find... plus we have to spend at least some of our time off going to visit our respective families, and now I have two families to visit instead of one)

C) Have the money to travel. In our case, we have two incomes, but still, it was much cheaper when I'd travel with friends and cram four people into a cheap hotel room.

I'm not complaining here. I'm fortunate to have spare income that let's me travel quite a bit with my wife and it's really a fantastic experience to travel with your partner. But there are trade-offs that I simply didn't have as a 25 year old. So those places that are far away and hard to get to? See them while you're young.
I agree for videogames.

Starting mining bitcoin on the other had, is hindsight bias, and may well not be a good recommendation anymore. Depending on where you live, electricity costs makes it hard to break-even, especially after you consider hardware purchase.

We use SQLalchemy at work and I would rather write queries by hand. A lot of that is because the documentation is a huge pain, but also because the object composition isn't intuitive. I've built a profile query builder in Go and it was pretty straight forward; I'm confident I could build an ORM in a couple of weeks.
Don't get into consumer credit debt. Not huge figures, but I'd convinced myself that I would always have debt so I might as well not care about it. This led to my buying things I didn't really need on credit, whilst just paying for it monthly, forever.

Part of me wonders whether that's deliberate. They realised there was a growing discontent with the union, Brexit brought about the realisation that countries would want to leave and now the MEPs and EU government officials and what not have realised that making the EU a positive thing to be part of is crucial to its future success.

You have little understanding of this space, as evident by your comments re: Zerodium. Allow me to inform you that there are plenty of buyers that are willing to pay top dollar for such exploits, as are plenty of people that keep such exploits to themselves or sell them to buyers that will not disclose them.

None of that takes place in the public eye, but of course one can figure some of it out if one pays attention. In some cases, one can also extrapolate what the state of this "underground" is by examining the research that does become public.
I travelled a lot and figured out very soon I should never ever contract dept or have a strong commitment (house, children, etc) too soon. I'm still amazed so many people regret doing that, being young don't mean being dumb, why did you do that?

Anyway, my advice would be:

Start meditation sooner.

I would give myself many other advices about risks, people and self-acceptance, but I would have not being able to listen to them at that time.

That's the problem with advices, you must be in a place in your life where you can actually use them.

But I would be able to meditate and figure it out, since that's how it happened.

Replace that with any tool that helped you develop yourself.

If you don't have such a tool, find one quickly that suit you.

Oh, and yes, travelling help, so do so. But you'll reach a limit in what it brings to the table. You need to find a better tool on the long run. Just like money helps, but has a max amount after which it won't make you happier.
Agree generally with these points except for the buying used cars.

Buying new, inexpensive cars are a much better investment if you plan on owning them for a long time.

Used cars don't last as long, and they carry more risk. The amount of money spent on repairs can be unpredictable.
I'm sort of where you are in that I don't really feel like I'm a part of any nation, I'm just a human. I do feel Terran however (ie like I belong to Earth and vice-versa). So I feel European as much as British.

As a subject of Her Brittanic Majesty however, I'm about to have that citizenship forcibly removed. The only other option appears to be to become a political refugee. Like if a third of people in your region voted and suddenly you were no longer to be a national of the country you were born in; it's weird.
I hope you're right because it flies in the face of what every other government institution wants to do about crypto these days. What is it with the UK and their Orweillan nonsense? They need to get over the idea of backdoors that weaken crypto and just accept the fact that bad people do bad things--they seem to accept all the ISIS attacks in their country, so why not?

As far as the US goes, we have strong crypto because the system by which citizens come to be dominated is broken, and not for any other reason.
Repair shops and second hand markets exists. Users don't have to be able to replace things themselves. I wouldn't service my washing machine myself either, but I'd like the guy whom I call to be able to replace a small part instead of telling me that the whole thing is junk.

5 Things to Keep in Mind While Hiring a Programmer in Poland

Just, because there is a portion of the market that a certain concept doesn't apply, it doesn't mean it isn't viable in other segments of the same market.

For Go to be successful on embedded systems, doesn't mean it must run everywhere.

Heck there are even embedded CPUs that cannot cope with ANSI C, and that hasn't prevented people to make use of it on other market segments of the embedded space.
If you are market timing, remember you have to be right twice, once when you buy and second when you sell.

Ideally, you'll come to realize that trading is a waste of your time, and you should set and forget a regular investment flow into the Wilshire 5000 or something equally diverse.

Lastly, don't let FOMO lure you into into investing in the new hotness of your age. For me, it was Internet stocks in 98-99. By the time you're hearing about it and it's productized in a way consumers can get involved, it's too late.

After very regularly drinking 1-3 cups of coffee per day for about 8 years, I stopped for the six weeks of this years fasting period. After a few days of headache and tiredness things normalized. I expected a big difference (whatsoever) but was underwhelmed. There might have been a positive effect of not drinking coffee, but I didn't notice anything significant.

I disagree with that statement--it is abundantly clear that the desire was for self-determination and not meddling by some unelected body which is not what the Brits signed up for with the EU, or at least not how it was sold to the public.

Get your MI5&6 under control, the way the US needs to get its IC back under control, and the crypto problem solves itself.
Talking about dna and machines, Schabanel-Rondelez-Woods of Paris Diderot Univ. did design DNA tiles as building block for turing capable machines. They have demoes of gliders, and even a nanoscopic dna hello world in lab.

"program" size limited to 500 tiles IIRC, because the design will break when things get larger. Still amazing, happy googling.
That's fine, why is that even a problem? Government won't be able to employ too many of those people, that is financially unsustainable. So they will think twice who to watch, they'd have to limit their surveillance only to actual terror suspects etc., not just about everyone as now.
Is college really required?

===

It takes too long. It's too expensive. In the UK and US it's s a costly activity - students tend to take loans so when they leave university they are in debt. Hurray! You got a degree, now you have to work to pay off your loan...

I have nothing against education and learning. You should always learn. If you really think that going to university is something you really have to do:
* Take a gap year first
* Be sure what you want to study
* Don't pay for it: scholarships, or maybe a different country with free education? (you may need to learn the language first)

I made several mistakes in my approach to university. Probably the biggest one was sense of entitlement - because I graduated from the top degree in the top high school - I thought I'll get new jobs easily.

> Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work.

University could be good in terms of making friends, expanding your network but... I bet you can make friends anyway.

I'm hardly an expert, though I'd probably suggest focusing on avoiding the four pitfalls I mentioned. Like any hard process, it involves working hard to achieve gradual improvement, learning from others where appropriate.

However, I can guarantee that resting on your laurels and calling your process "unbiased" from the start won't work.

As someone who build gaming PCs: the Ethereum craze is destroying the GPU market. The AMD RX 470/570 and 480/580 are so good for mining that when on sale they sell out instantly everywhere and goes above $100-150 the MSRP on eBay. And now people who sold their AMD cards buying up the Nvidia GTX 1070s which is the best obvious upgrade... It's just crazy
What I've spend too much money on: Tech gadgets, DSLRs, LEGO sets, neat things, books I don't read, stuff to put on shelves. Especially if you have too much money. At first you don't think a lot if you need things <$10, when your income grows so does your "don't-think-spending-limit" to $100, then $1000.

Not stupid: Books you really read, long term investing, making experiences.

Today I have a monthly "Make-your-live-lighter-day" where I give away/throw away things.
Yes and they have a poor implementation for encryption at that. Pawel who did the port of zfs to FreeBSD did not like how they implemented it. As far as zfs goes oracle will be the odd man out compatibility wise with the rest of the platforms supporting zfs and the openzfs encryption scheme.
Don't forget your Roth IRA (if your AGI is <= $118,000).

In that scenario I would recommend this priority:
1) Put enough into your 401k to get your full company match. If you don't you're throwing away free money
2) Max out your Roth IRA. They have more investment options than 401k plans.
3) Max out your 401k.
> The majority still wants to leave EU. That's why both Labour and Conservative MPs are pro brexit.

This is not really accurate.

Firstly, the majority that initially voted to leave was 37% of the population. As far as I am aware that number has slightly decreased in terms of supporters, but even if the opposite were true it is still less than half of the population that actively support leaving.

Secondly, these MP's are only 'pro-Brexit' insofar as they know it has to happen regardless of their own beliefs and coming out against it now would be political suicide. No matter what you think here, in this last General Election people did not vote for parties based on their Brexit stance. They voted based on whether they wanted 5 more years of Tory rule. Tht issue was a far higher priority than Brexit.

I'm not 25 yet but this is my (current) course:

1. Reduce all bills/belongings to bare essentials to live minimally.

2. Pay off all debt while maintaining $1,500 emergency fund.

3. Save 6 months living expenses.

4. Invest in yourself with excellent groceries, gym membership/local park visits, medical/hygiene care and other healthy habits.

5. Invest in Vanguard's Total US Stock, Total International Stock and Total Bond ETFs (% as age) and don't touch it.

6. Invest in building your own business - tech or otherwise.
To come back on my example: LinkedIn reported a net income of 166 million USD. The potential fine is thus more than 70% of their profit!

This is an oft-mentioned idea in the UK. See here for a list of state EU referenda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referendums_related_to_the_Eur...

The only repeat referenda seem to be ones where:
1) a motion was denied
2) ammendments were made to change or garuantee parts of the motion
3) the motion was subsequently passed

In the anti-EU crowd, this has morphed into "repeatedly re-run a referendum until they get the result they want"

> what genius came up with the idea of inlining styles in a javascript bundle to begin with?

I do this in a project and it's terrific. The JS files in question are front-end components (for Vue.js in my case), and the point of having the styles inline is so that components can be a single file, styles can be prefixed to be local to that component, and so on. It's light-years easier to work with than trying to do something similar without a module bundler.
My guess is value. A set top box being the recipient is of no value to me, it, or anyone else. If I (a person in meatspace) cannot see whatever was encrypted, what's the point, even? Why would I pay money for it?
Could you please elaborate a bit on the second point (25x spending)?

How does that work out? I'm a bit skeptical about this. At 25, people have much lower expenses than when they have a family and kids, mortgage, etc. Also you're living longer than to 50, so I assume there's some investing involved.
