Being able to pay (or be qualified to get a mortgage to pay) $815k for a home kind of makes you 'wealthy', no?
damn dude that is rough. I did 3 years apart from my GF before she moved in with me. 13 years is redic haha. After a few years of dating and multiple years of long distance i was like 'move down here and lets fuckin do it babe!' . we dids it all right and marriage is great, even though she brought along 63k debt from grad school =(

They're not making any more land in Manhattan. Haven't in awhile. Meanwhile, the worldwide population continues going up and up, and the city's population has increased too.

It's the inevitable result of constricted supply and growing demand.
I believe that's the guiding principal behind Creative Curriculum: https://www.creativecurriculum.net/

My kids' daycare has adopted it. It seems perfect for my daughter who seems self-driven, but maybe too open-ended for my son (who we pushed ahead..so far - mid-november bday with 10/31 cutoff).

Being able to semi-quickly figure out how the kernel actually performs some I/O operations and what the exact semantics are is tremendously useful when working with low-level I/O applications (e.g. database-like applications).
You can raise the Federal gas tax, and simultaneously lower the bottom tax rate from 10% to 0%.
I suspect a good therapist could be a great help for you. As you said yourself, you don't understand why people react to you the way the do. The reason will probably be obvious to experienced therapist, and he/she will be able to create a plan for you to correct whatever's wrong.
It should be enough. Society puts a heavy burden on all of us to succeed in some way. It is hard to escape it.
Another sad fact: medicating such kids is often a problematic solution. ADHD drugs make one lethargic and just feel "off" (according to my sister, who was on them for a long time).

What we need are more vocational schools to give the "hyperactive" among us a realistic, career-oriented outlet.
Understanding and living his message (or any other non-dualist teacher) is the #1 to do if you want a successful startup.

If you're defining wealthy as anything like "the 1%", then no, you can be well below the 1% and still afford a mortgage on a $815k home, especially if you have dual income earners.
If UK had progressive property tax that only Duke of Westminster paid, it still would be massive gain for real estate affordability.
> Today we are experimenting with new phenomena

Pretty sure every generation from the beginning of time has thought of itself as a pioneer exposed to new forces and new phenomena. It's a bit arrogant to think that you're the one and only.

There are a multitude of other changes that have transformed our environment (agriculture, spoken language, written language, barter, commerce, etc.) over the millennia.

> There is no need for anything mystical to be involved.

And yet something mystical has been involved for thousands of years, in virtually every culture. When we tried to eradicate it forcefully (communism), bad things happened. Perhaps there's more to it than you think?
Now, if I can also link the MySQL C++ connector libraries, I could run some of my code "natively" in Lambda.

I get why you would say that and why it is alluring for people to agree, it even is for me to some extent. But I don't really see any, even indication of, evidence that it would be true. I think you are confusing cause and effect.

The people who are spinning their wheels aren't the once who just want a decent job and modest life. It is if you don't want to go into debt, you don't to move to a major city, you can't or don't want to get help from your parent and you believe in making your own way that you are spinning your wheels. The "follow you bliss" kids are all getting money from their parents.

It is easy to have an opinion about how other people should live their lives. So just tel me, after they had your ideal upbringing, what do they do then and why would they not in that scenario benefit from essentially being spoiled?
We need to work on our assumptions - why human content is supposed to be good and bot content is supposed to be misleading? We assume that people have good intentions - but, as you notice, this easily breaks if evil organizations can pay people to create the content.

In the past page rank was (partially) solving this content problem - but now http pages are not the important nodes any more.

I would welcome new developments in page rank like algos - but more localized, because smaller networks are easier to police and evolve.

Unfortunately it looks that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advogato is dead now.
Counterpoint: most people choose the cheaper option, which encourages a race to the bottom, and oligopolies can outlast smaller competition. Once the oligopoly has won, it starts to dictate the rules.

We should make informed choices, but who has the time and energy to dig and evaluate the market share and long-term consequences of the fridge they're going to buy?

Exactly, while the ease and likelihood of "having it all" are likely oversold, and an argument for ensuring that kids realize that adults don't get a trophy just for showing up is worth having, pretending that people can't start a family in there 30s from no current relationship (especially if they're willing to make it a focus) is ridiculous.

I think about it all the time. But imagine leaving the page and coming back a few hours later. Now you have to sort through tons of unnecessary comments (even if funny and humorous) while you look for the quality stuff.

They already pay income tax on the income from the letting and unless you create a company that owns the house it’s very hard to deduct the upkeep costs from your taxes and if you transfer the ownership to a company you lose the property if you want to transfer it to back to yourself it would incur a high tax liability.
> While all NYC area real estate is pricy

A good way to see how atypical NYC pricing is is to take a look at what a house right next to the road that leads to JFK airport will cost you. I think spot checking 4 bedrooms was like $600k (when I checked years ago). The same amount will get you a super nice suburban house (with a lawn in a nice neighborhood and school district) in many other places. Not next to a heavily traveled freeway.
Sounds like I am in a similar boat, 28 here... I feel some similar feelings now after having a kid, i dont want to work all week I want to do stuff with my family. It's possible to retire earlier but requires sacrifice now. Stash as much $$$ as you can away.

Also i think i'm just lucky but my software job has been pretty smooth sailing i got very lucky with my company. The weeks are going by so fast now, i just cruise thru the workday and cant wait to go home and see my little baby!
A weird thing happens in Iceland which is that people are born nominally "members of the Church of Iceland". Some portion of their taxes then go to support the church. If they want their taxes to go somewhere else, they have to proactively register as some other faith (and only those who care will bother). So you have a massive discrepancy between how many Icelanders are "statistically Christian" and it's not even Icelanders self-reporting, but the church itself for political/funding reasons.

How massive? As of 2017, statistically 70% of Icelandic citizens belonged to the Lutheran Church. But only ~11% actually attend church (http://www.iamreykjavik.com/religion-in-iceland)
Should cash-free businesses be made illegal? This NYC politician thinks so
Not worried at all. Our value of transparency internally extends to this raise as well.

Yes employees have equity packages and we're well informed of what the terms of this raise are, the dilution and our leadership team has worked hard to get employee-friendly terms. We believe in this because our team members are the main function for Asana to grow and hit these expectations so it must be a trusting and win-win partnership in order for it to last.

It is an investment, in the sense that you are buying an asset that you may sell in the future. It just may not have a positive return, and you almost certainly want a reasonably diverse portfolio of investments (if a high percentage of your net worth is in one piece of real estate, you don't have a diversified portfolio).

Agreed. A lot of famous gurus are just very charismatic people that live a very nice life and don't really have to deal with the drudgeries of the life most regular people live. When you look under the cover a lot of them are abusive and really not nice people.

I think there are only very few people that are really spiritually enlightened and they are not necessarily the famous gurus.

I know nothing about Ram Dad's but when I was more involved in yoga I saw some very shady behavior of public gurus.
That's just an idea. I just think it should not be part of normal government budget because it could increase goverment spending for usual stuff and when that's increased it hardly ever goes down.
I have Windows computers built 10-15 years ago that can still play modern games at respectable frame rates.

My laptops from college and law school both still work, and the one from law school (an HP laptop that was in many ways a rough precursor to MS' Surface line) still has 70% of its original battery life!

A key point in why I despite Apple products: the first year of law school, roughly 90% of the students used Apple laptops. By the start of the second year, 50% of the students used Apple laptops. By the end of law school, only a handful of students still used Apple laptops; all of them were the type that babied their computers. The problem is that Apple laptops simply weren't built to survive the rigors of school, and those laptops were stronger than the ones Apple sells today.

So, based on the experience of roughly 300 students at my law school, I say that Apple is only the best value for the money if someone else is paying for it and the AppleCare service plan. If it's your own money, Apple is the worst value.
A tiny company cannot make a cheap quality product in small quantities. If you feel repairability and freedom are important, it is worth it though.
Neither is right, neither is wrong it just is. You're still in your 20s with a solid foundation and assuming you maintain your health you will see your child graduate leaving you with plenty of time and money to use as you see fit. Use your time and money wisely now and make your life goal to retire early so you can travel and have "hobo adventures."

I traded my 20s for "hobo adventures" and I hope to have another round of them.

Of course not, that's silly. So is the idea that progressive property tax (regardless of it's merit or lack thereof as an idea) is logically dismissed as a inevitable step towards eastern-block style communism.
but there's no substitution for consistent human contact and real friendships

This. Some of my friends just wouldn't eat alone - they'd rather starve than eat a meal by themselves. I, on the other hand, have been eating alone for the last 15 years. I didn't understand why it is such a big deal, when I was younger - now, I am beginning to think my friends were right. Friendship, when it is simple/without strings attached/genuine, is a beautiful thing to have.
Software isn’t a bike. It might be a special deal Microsoft has with those vendors. Bikes have an intrinsic minimal cost, like materials and shipping, software keys don’t. The average consumer would probably regard windows as something that is free to begin with so seeing it for sale for $10 probably won’t strike them as strange, you get it “free” with your computer after all.

Furthermore, this is not one vendor selling one ‘stolen’ item, it is many, selling many keys. This makes it seems like a legitimate channel for keys to the average consumer. It also makes eBay more responsible if you ask me. It seems to me as if they are making a profit from those sales. If they truly are illegal keys then they should probably do something about it.

So why am I wrong here?
I got "diagnosed" with ADHD and tried taking the medicine for two weeks and it was terrible. What's the point of doing better in school if you feel terrible, lose your appetite, and have problems sleeping?
> My pet hate is when I'm asked questions while I'm actually eating and I'm expected to answer with a mouth full of food.

I definitely understand that this can be very annoying, but like I said, there are tradeoffs to both. Being a bit socially anxious myself, I prefer not to have to compete with the other diners for the server's attention, so the polling model is better for me.

as an aside, when I go to nicer restaurants I find that the servers tend to be more skilled/graceful. I don't know exactly how they do it, but they always seem to come by at the perfect moment to check whether the food is okay without interrupting a bite/conversation.

in theory, call buttons would be pretty nice, but I think some people would find it to cheapen the experience.

A lot of those loans are IO only ARMs with a balloon. You pay IO and treat it as rent. Balloon in 5-10 years means you have 5-10 years in place where a landlord cannot jack up rent on you. If everything goes well and your unit appreciates, then you now have more equity which means you refinance it again. If your mortgage requires you do pay off the balloon and you can't refinance, you sell. Even if you sell at a loss, the loss is likely to be less than the rent you would have paid for the same space. You take the money and do it again, in a new space.

This is one of the reason why you see all kinds of house trading among celebrities - they don't actually "buy" houses with conventional 30 year mortgages. When the balloons come due, they instead sell a house either for more money or for less money and make the balloon whole with the "saved rent"

By the same token, good tools do not solve politics, low morale or low transparency. I saw Justin Rosenstein and Dustin Moskovitz's talk when Asana was announced (2010? 2011?) and was converted. The idea of ditching email, bringing down barriers between silos and giving a greater vision between layers was inspiring and I immediately tried to implement Asana into all areas of my life.

It didn't really work for me as a personal organiser. Paper was just too damn handy, didn't require a log in and I didn't need any of the collaboration features. It didn't work for my dad and his business because he didn't quite 'get' the task oriented nature of the beast and ended up with a weird mish mash of orders, inquiries etc which ended up being unmanageable and he abandoned it quietly.

I tried setting it up for the production pipeline at the video society at my uni. I thought it would help lower the barrier to entry so that people could more easily get involved, see what was in the works, see tasks that were available to contribute to. But no, nobody logged in. The motivated people were just motivated and didn't require any task management and the disengaged people were too disengaged and uncurious to find it a useful resource.

I tried setting one up at my internship - a small data shop where surely things could be easily captured as tasks. We could assign things, hand things over, track bugs in code, split up larger assignments into smaller ones. But again, after some initial curiosity and a lot of patience from the teams, it didn't quite take either.

It feels a bit like the slow rise of corporate instant messaging generally or slack more specifically. Tools can enable a massive improvement to an organisation's ability to keep in touch, react to change, collaborate and all that usual stuff, but unless the company embraces that change or has a mindset/culture that allows those benefits to come to fruition then even with something like Asana you won't be able to turn things around with tools alone.
Another victim of modern feminism. LOL
That'll simplify the practice of serverless quite a bit[1]. Having worked with the API Gateway, this should let us just skip a step or so.

One major reason I've seen is that soft actuators are complicated to use. You can't move things to a predictable location because they'll bounce, stretch as they age, and any weight changes (which applies all the time to all double+-jointed things, as e.g. straightening your elbow increases the force needed at your shoulder) change all of the above. The continuous feedback needed to counteract this is expensive and imperfect (as are we).

Existing servos / stepper motors / etc obviously do this too, but usually to a much smaller and more predictable degree.

Obviously it still has uses, e.g. as a grasper at the end of a normal robot for a softer grip. But making a whole robot out of it is still largely insane, unless you have esoteric needs. Hence ongoing research, but not application :)
A ton of projects have upgraded to work well with modules already. Seriously, it's set and forget in your zshrc / bashrc / whathaveyou.
Nah, the notion of holding out for "the one" is overrated and just makes you pass over plenty of acceptable candidates. Everyone has flaws and overlapping interests isn't really necessary either. Just find someone you find attractive, who's in your league, and who shares your values and work at it, you'll be fine. I hear the divorce rate of arranged marriages is pretty low.
But pairing up has been replicated in many societies at large.
hah. GOPATH is the only thing I like about Go. I have all (non-Go) repositories cloned as URL-style paths e.g. ~/src/github.com/user/repo.

I strongly dislike the non-standard internals (horrendous custom assembler, direct usage of syscalls instead of libc) and the "developers are too stupid to use this" attitude towards modern language features.
These are good points, but the bottom line is "we don't really know". So I'd caution against assuming the number is very high just because it fits our hopes.
I think we in the west ended up replacing religion with, not an absence of it, but with a religion of the Self — where you are the god, or the only one that matters anyway.

That obviously doesn’t mean a sincere belief in one’s own omniscience, more that the the aura of ‘importance’ bestowed upon things naturally emanate from the centre of the Universe, which is you.

Mind that humans are already pretty much hardwired to do this. Removing external factors of pressure and adding validation in the form of the mass market gospel of ‘find yourself’ just made this a lot more visible.

Funny enough, the people who end up going down to the deep end of this road of finding yourself often find that there is nothing to find, since all your life, you’ve spent it looking for yourself and you never added anything to it. It’s an empty box. You’re the pot at the end of the rainbow that you never thought you needed to put gold into.

From there, people usually split to a few branches. The more transcendentalist amongst us call it the Buddha, the folks with a more philosophical bent call it existential nausea.

The more practical, most of us, go ‘oh.’ and they move on with their lives. Which is probably the most healthy way, anyway.

All of this. Also, I'd bet more than a few of her friends in relationships with homes are jealous of her! They probably have a false impression of how exciting her life is.

> It’s okay to be in debt and worried.

Not in this case. With no family/child obligations, the short term goal-- and, depending on the size of the debt, midterm goal-- needs to be paying down the debt.

Just take the example of the measly two-nights-in-a-hotel savings. Without debt she could freely decide to save for a month or two and increase that number by one or two orders of magnitude (depending on current job's income). Ahhh.

With debt that savings cannot increase. No decisions are available to make.

Sorry to be flippant but getting out of debt is the only option here. Giving any other advice would be like talking chess strategy to someone eternally stuck playing tic-tac-toe.
