I don't agree with this advice. IMHO, a lot of property (specifically, real-estate) is ridiculously overvalued compared with the income generating capacity of locals. In Toronto, an average house is close to a million bucks. I don't think you will get a lot of land to grow. But lets say, you go really far .. like an hour or hour and a half. Still .. it is pretty expensive and you just raised your commuting costs.

I think for people with skills and few assets, saving cash is the most important thing to do. When shit hits the fan, you will be mobile to move to where the jobs are.

You don't seem to understand what rent-seeking is. Rent-seeking is when you seek out particular privileges that enable you to gain an advantage. A "sure thing" if you will. By controlling asymmetric information, the levers of government, cornering the market, or controlling exclusive rights over naturally scarce opportunities.

They are greedy, but not stupid. A greedy person may play slot machines, but would not be intelligently directing their avarice. This is ultimately what you are suggesting they do.

There is a difference bing due to between not enjoying dancing and avoiding dancing due to anxiety or embarrassment.

The fact that your friends abandoned you because you didn't want to dance is something else entirely. They weren't really your friends. If they were, this wouldn't have happened.

I have friends that both love night clubs and friends that don't. Frequently the groups overlap and spend time together doing things they both enjoy. I can't imagine any of them cutting off contact with the others for such shallow reasons.

Point being, just because it was this way for you, doesn't mean it applies to everyone else. There are a multitude of reasons someone may not want to dance, and not all are due to disorders. That's a dangerous way to think.
"Giving equity" undermines the equity given. Instead, make equity available, and make incentives that increase that equity to a reasonable level more available, and let people "buy into" their community. Perhaps the worst impact of the Great Depression was rent control, not because it supported diversity in cities, but because it undermined the opportunity to own some, more, or much equity, and reserved the real estate interest tax deduction to upper middle class residents. By making housing more important than equity, rather than equity earned by housing important to community, rent control recognized the crises of the '30's and '50's, but deferred real solutions to those crises with a palliative and transitive tool. Ownership is the best vehicle for equity, even if it is limited in its appreciation. The strength of European diversity comes from the European model of limited equity ownership, whereby long term municipal employees, working people, and young and old can be secure in their housing costs while building equity as either legacy or retirement security. "Giving equity" is not nearly as critical as giving access to equity and incentives to build it.

The weird part about people complaining about the Bixby button is the fact they bought it.

Like why buy it? Did you not see the button when you looked at the product? Did you not read any reviews?

So many other phones to select from and users are buying a phone with a button they don't want.

Companies continue to get away with these poor design decisions and forcing this system-wide apps because we continue to buy their products.
Not a GNOME user, but maybe that's because the power button is now handled by logind? Have a look at `man logind.conf`.
This is a very limited sample size but I own and use a 50" 4K monitor from Wasabi Mango and a 50" 4k tv from Samsung. The off-brand monitor's text is quite a bit clearer. I'm not sure if that's just a settings issue, but I have spent quite a bit of time playing with the TV's settings and the text is consistently less clear than the monitor's.

Step 1: Keep your knowledge as sharp as the sharpest knife. Knowledge is the ultimate currency.

Step 2: Research people's attitude during that time (every recession creates a change in behaviour and personality) and find a personality trait that will match it so you can gain their trust or affection (not in the partner sense), especially higher ups that can give you employment or any other sort of resource (recession is not a time to be thinking of money as the only resource).

Step 3: Meet people, force yourself to do it and apply those traits. Don't become an asshole in the process.

Step 4: Repeat with other resources that may be handy during that specific recession. Diversify.

Perhaps too close to the “generic advice” you’ve discouraged, but: accrue money while it’s plentiful, spend money while it’s hard to come by.

Right now, money is comparatively cheap and easy to come by. Salaries are high, the markets are doing well, and investment capital flows freely. During these times, most people spend money as freely as they earn it, which is a mistake. Your money will go farther during a downturn when liquid cash is rarer. So hoard now while others spend, and be willing to spend later when others are hoarding cash and it’s difficult to earn.

This is the personal finance equivalent of the poker maxim to play loose when the table is tight, and play tight when the table is loose. And it works for largely the same reason.

It is actually very different:

1. Don't have any debt

2. Lower your monthly costs as much as possible

3. Save money

4. Although we don't know how cryptocurrencies will fare in a recession (I think it could go either way, if people cash out, for instance, to buy their daily needs), I think it could be safer to hold some money in solid/proven cryptocurrency compared to say a bank. Modern banks, especially U.S. ones are built on quick-sand with their 100-500x leverage for their assets. If something goes wrong for them it will go wrong quickly. And if things are bad enough, the government will even ban people from withdrawing their money from banks.
Make sure you have a marketable skillset, even in a down economy. Having been a tech recruiter for both good times and a couple downturns, I noticed that the people who got released first were doing tasks that managers felt could be passed along to others somewhat easily. No real surprise.

Since tech was my field, I first saw project managers who were non-technical (couldn't code or add other value) getting let go. Tech leads were handed PM responsibility. Sysadmins, DBAs, and some QA were also let go when there were devs who could pick up the slack. Companies might not need dedicated resources there, so contractors might be a more efficient solution.

Try to expand your skillset and have the ability to contribute in a few areas. Companies may be more likely to get rid of someone who is only good at one thing.

Multiplatform docs here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/multiplatform.html

Example from the docs:

// Common module

package org.jetbrains.foo

expect class Foo(bar: String) {
fun frob()
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
Foo("Hello").frob()
}

// JVM module

package org.jetbrains.foo

actual class Foo actual constructor(val bar: String) {
actual fun frob() {
println("Frobbing the $bar")
}
}

I brought up how I thought the `expect` and `actual` keywords (but primarily the latter) added unneeded verbosity in the Kotlin Slack awhile back and was pretty much shrugged off, despite folks on the Kotlin team admitting that they exist in part to make the IDE's job easier, but weren't actually necessary.

It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but I suppose it might be because I'm familiar with projects in C/C++ where, if a symbol goes undefined, the compiler/linker is smart enough to tell you that without being hand-held.
Accounting (in the corporate sense; I kind of tripped trying to translate to a personal finance context) is based on one equilibrium principle:

assets = liabilities + equity

This is true by definition. So any increase in assets has to be backed either by an increase in liabilities or an increase in equity. I tried to compare this increase in equity to income (the change in "what you're worth") but muddled the issue a bit.

I happen to agree with Kiyosaki's position that a house is a bad investment ceteris paribus (millions of details apply, specially the country/city you live in, but also your own life cycle, etc.).

But it's not because it belongs to the liabilities bucket. It's because to acquire a house (an asset), you have to take on debt (a liability). Or pay down from your personal equity/personal worth, if you're rich dad and happen to be sitting in that much money.

To simplify: if equity was not to enter the equation, the sum total of your assets would be equivalent to the sum total of your liabilities. How else would you acquire things if not from debt?
1. Don't buy a house right now if you live in a big city. If you already own a house in a big city, selling will probably net you enormous profits.

2. Don't speculate in markets. You're very likely to get burned.

3. Be the best you can possibly be in your field of work. If you're in school, start working on your assignments as soon as they're assigned. Leave no question as to your competence by being extremely prepared and reasonable.

4. If you see your field of work probably being replaced by automation in the coming decades, start training for another field of work that won't be replaced. A UBI (or negative tax) is likely necessary in the future, but aim to be someone that doesn't need a UBI to survive. You don't want to bet your own survival on a UBI being politically possible.

5. Be kind, support your friends and family as much as they need, and always ask for help if you need it.

>People on both sides pretty much share the same values

Sorry but I think you are significantly mistaken. To give two examples of statements that are common from each side. "Homosexuality is sinful" and "All white people are racist." The two sides are so far apart that when someone makes one of those statements they feel they are making an obvious non-controversial statement but it is offensive to the other side.*

This is because each side is so far apart they cannot even agree on what words mean. Combine this with the ease at which someone can become offended and it makes discussion almost impossible.

*I can either or both statements if requested.
>"You are paying exorbitant fees, for what is essentially public information"

Actually ... they are probably NOT charging exorbitant prices for tuition, room and board, when you look at their costs; good education is expensive.

Room and board is about $13K, or slightly more than 1K/month, which seems pretty reasonable.

Rate-card Tuition is 52K, but they have a 7:1 teacher-student ratio ; If you assume each teacher makes 100K/year (not unreasonable for PhDs), that's about 13K just in teacher salaries ... add benefits, offices, etc, and you're at about twice that, so 26K just for faculty; add some for facilities and management, and their cost is probably about 40K/year per student, so a 20-25% markup, doesn't sound unreasonable (and then almost no student pays the sticker price).

High-quality liberal-arts education is really expensive, but it is because it is very labor intensive (both in students and faculty).

BTW, other universities will do it cheaper by either paying their faculty much less (which usually leads to quality problems), or having much larger classes, or crummy facilities, or government subsidies (or all of the above). Community colleges do an amazing job for the price they charge, but it's not the same education :)
Fun fact: disabling Chrome on my phone (flagship Google) causes every single app to crash on every interaction, including third-party apps like Signal.

Similar to the issues you had with Redis, the kernel change to THP on by default totally destroyed CoW sharing for forked Ruby processes, despite Koichi Sasada's change to make the GC more CoW friendly. Without disabling THP, a single run of GC marking can cause the entire heap to be copied for the child.

This is missing the point. You can't leave children alone for a long time without supervision.

What if kids refuse to leave and block the bus ?

>we cannot afford to give everyone a $150k education.

We most certainly can, easily, we just choose not to.

We could bomb a few less hospitals a year and pay for every single American to go to college for free. We could make our corporations pay more than zero taxes and do the same.

But you are right about the skyrocketing costs, colleges have bloated massively and for really no reason other than that they have begun to be run as businesses rather than as public-focused academic enterprises.

Windows and Android are able to do these these things because of the lock-in they have on application developers. Apps made for Ubuntu run fine on other Linux distros so Canonical doesn't have the kind of control and lock-in which MS/Google/Apple. This equivalence is therefore dubious.
