Congratulations on graduating college and good luck with the upcoming move! We currently use Plaid to connect to bank accounts which unfortunately only supports US/Canadian banks, so you might be out of luck for now if you were hoping for automatic imports. We are working on more ways beyond Plaid to import your transactions so if you would like, you can sign up for our mailing list to keep updated on our progress and eventually sign up when we can support your bank.

If you would like a budgeting solution that is thoughtfully designed and encourages building good habits rather than setting spending constraints, I would encourage you to give Lunch Money a try. I would also encourage you to give the other apps a whirl, since our methods are all different. I hope you find a budgeting solution that works for you!

I bought a 90's car a few months ago - low mileage dependable Japanese car, nearly bare bones except for air conditioning and airbags (which were both optional equipment). In average condition, they go about $2k, mine was immaculate, so it was $6k. Truly like driving a brand new car from the mid 90's.

If you are sick of the electronics, just get a "new" old car. You won't regret it. You can even easily replace the tape deck with a high quality head unit to get all the features you need, but done right because car audio companies are just better at doing infotainment type stuff, and you can get something unobtrusive.

Everything that I thought I would miss, or have a hard time adjusting to be without, ABS, power windows, power locks, traction control, remote start, etc., turns out, I didn't really need it. Yes, there is the safety aspect of it, but I guess that depends on what kind of a drive you are, and what type of area that you live in.

Didn't read the article (paywall) but I have to agree with your sentiment. I constantly hear people talking about a recession for no reason other than 'we're due'. To me, some of these indicators (layoffs, less consumption of luxury goods) just read as the new normal. The folks mentioned have likely been dealing with the same uncertainty since the fallout of 2008. In the US, worker's rights have been decimated by laws like Right-to-work. Every corporation works to keep the dividends flowing to shareholders while the lower and lower-middle class bleed. How hard is it to grok that the working class ARE the economy. Consumption and growth will always be stifled as long as capital is kept from those who actually spend it.

Safari on iOS is pretty much the most unstable browser I have been using in the last ~5 years. I can't count how many times I had to kill and repopen Safari just because it froze on some Youtube video.

So, no this is not a big giveaway.

Unless something on the Youtube site targeted my own and most of my friends' iOS devices, of course.

A few comments saying we never really recovered, or, we snapped back and now we’re slowing down back to average growth levels.

I recommend taking a look at this jobs chart:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/USPRIV

Then set the time range to be 1997 to present.

What’s remarkable is that the slope of the curve is essentially bimodal. Either the economy is hiring at 200k/month, or it is firing at 200k/month.

The 2008 recession was remarkably bad. We set back jobs growth more than a decade, which had never happened before. Since then we’ve had the longest stretch of time where the economy is in “hiring mode” in history. But there was also no “snap back”, the curve has been going up, but it’s still shifted 10 years to the left.

It’s not clear this stretch of up time has ended yet, but the market is flashing signals that it is more likely to end in the next 6 months than it was a year ago.

With inflation so low, this to me implies there is still slack capacity and we have room to keep the “hiring” mode turned on for a while longer, but the Fed would have to lower rates for that to happen.

Former Fed President Dudley’s comments in his op-ed last week were a shockingly bad look for the Fed. [1] Advocating for intentionally tanking the economy to make the current President look bad undermines the entire Fed governance model.

Conversational AI is much closer than we think. Neural sequence-to-sequence models are successful in domain specific domains. But in the context of chit-chat based dialogue systems, the responses lack humanity. Undoubtedly due to the fact they don't comprehend our world. Transfer learning alleviates some of that awkwardness.

If anyone's interested in further experiments on their own. There is now a unified Python framework for dialogue models ;)

Digital trade: India calls for customs duties on the internet
Having been forced to use an online math software for all my homework while at school, I vehemently disagree. It was so poor that it became a meme within my year group.

It would mark you as incorrect for using too many decimal places, even though it wouldn't tell you how many significant figures was required. I often remember it marking my answer as incorrect, even though it was identical to the answer they gave. Sometimes you'd have to show your working, but it couldn't handle brackets. Once I put the answer as "1+x=y" but they wanted the answer "y-1=x", and they marked it as incorrect.

I'm sure academic software design is leaps and bounds above what it was in the early 2000's, but to have a pupils futures hinge on what generally seems to be poorly tested code is dangerous.

Nailed it. I've worked on a React Native app before and honestly, didn't love it. I did my research on Flutter and love the motivation and execution behind it. Also, being able to quickly get to the first prototype and having way less platform-specific code as well as greater and sleeker performance compared to RN was a huge selling point for me. I also figured it wouldn't hurt to learn a new technical skill.

However, I may be way in over my head now at this point to tackle this on my own. If there are any Flutter devs out there interested in helping out, feel free to shoot me an email at jen@lunchbag.dev

Generally higher interest rates result in smaller loans because people can only afford a fixed monthly payment. A smaller loan generally outweighs the downsides of higher interest rates compared to a huge loan with almost zero interest because that huge loan will be used to bid up prices higher and higher far beyond the original value of whatever you are buying.

I used to think this, then I worked at a telco for a while.. The problem is a lot more complicated..

Due to how ILECs and CLECs (incumbent/parent phone companies who own the infrastructure and then wholesalers/resellers who operate on top of them due to competition laws) integrate, how they share and allocate phone number prefixes and lists (this whole process alone is mind-blowingly arcane), and how all phone companies cooperate internationally, it's extremely hard - almost impossible - for them to identify and block these kinds of nuisance calls in real-time.

And don't get me wrong, they could do it.. But the amount of coordination and cooperation that would be required is a non-starter because most phone companies don't talk to each other enough to get this kind of initiative off the ground, even if the money and motivation was there.

Edit: Remember that most (Western) phone companies are 100-year-old institutions, and many still have 50+ year-old infrastructure that runs the underlying systems, and that they can't just throw that away and start over, due to how deeply integrated they are in the public/private communication infrastructure of society, and many of their modern systems are really just shims built on top of that older tech.

Unintended consequences are rampant.
It's a self fulfilling prophesy. People hear about a pending recession, so to prepare they tighten their wallets and start spending a bit less so they can save a little to weather the possible storm. This reduced velocity in money turnover and less buying leads to the recession.

I don't have a study to point you to. I would just be doing what you too can do, first try googling for one. Just because a study, peer reviewed, professional, yada yada yada doesn't exist, does not mean it not a real phenomena. (Please don't read this last bit as snark or personally... it's for the few that completely dismiss ideas or things unless some study supports it). A study would be nice. Who's going to conduct it? Who's going to peer review it? How will we identify any conflicts of interest? Regardless, I'd love to have this more formally researched and studied.

That's a big difference. It says the bottom 20% of Americans consume as much as the average person in my country.

About 7 years ago, when I was trying to monitor .Net apps, there weren't that many alternatives available. The Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana stack had just gotten off the ground and I needed a way to send it structured logs and a large number of machines. Logary.tech was born to solve that problem.

Since then Logary has expanded with excellent support for sending both metrics and tracing data to a large number of targets. In production, I use this setup;

client browser -> Logs & metrics to Logary Rutta HTTP ingestion endpoint via Logary JS

nginx-ingress -> Traces to Jaeger Agent via opentracing C++ client
nginx-ingress -> Metrics to InfluxDB
nginx-ingress <- Metrics via Prometheus scrape annotation

Our NextJS site and GraphQL server:
site -> Traces to Jaeger Agent via opentracing
site -> stdout logs via Logary JS (also get added as Logs in the Span of OpenTracing)
site <- Metrics via Prometheus scrape annotation and prom-client

api -> Traces to Jaeger Agent via Logary's F# API
api -> Metrics to InfluxDB via Logary's F# API
api <- Metrics via Prometheus scrape annotation and Logary.Prometheus
api -> Events to Mixpanel via Logary.Targets.Mixpanel
api -> Logs to Stackdriver via Logary.Targets.Stackdriver (hosted on GCP)

Also, Kubernetes ships logs via FluentD to Stackdriver in GCP, but they are not structured, and the remaining infrastructural services also send traces to Jaeger if they can.

Logary Rutta is a stand-alone log router, written in Hopac + F# (like Concurrent ML), and used by some of the largest Swedish software companies for thousands of logs and metrics per second. It's capable of shipping to a large number of targets https://github.com/logary/logary/tree/master/src/targets Since it talks HTTP and UDP with a number of encodings (JSON, plain, binary), it's easy to plug into an existing infrastructure and existing log shippers. It can also connect point-to-point to itself with a high-perf binary encoding. Because you can send any JSON into it, it's very easy to get started with together with mobile apps.

Logary for JS currently has support for user logs, and I'm currently testing rudimentary metrics and browser info.

Logary for .Net supports the OpenTelemetry spec, structured logging and metrics.

Of course you can pick any toolchain you want, but I've had great success (and great fun!) writing and using the above. You can see I don't keep logs on disk; it causes them to fill up; if your network is down, your service is down, and then you know it's the network anyway.

Once in Logary, you can choose where you send them. I've done an analytics/ETL pipeline based on Logary with its Stackdriver+BigQuery+GooglePubSub targets and with Flink, with great success as well. Logary is free to use for non-profit and then I have a pricing calculator on the home page, for when you start selling the software you build. Pricing aside, how Logary is structured and how I've used it might give you some hints on how to do it yourself.

2008 was not a surprise, and it didn't come out of nowhere. Predicting the specific time the crash would happen was a bit like fortune telling but from 2006 on a growing number of economists and analysts began flashing an ever increasing number of warning signs. There were even a few major warning signs before the summer of 07 when things went crazy.

Economists and analysts use a wide variety of measures to predict if the economy will begin contracting, losing jobs, and potentially if that economy will start a death spiral of income loss -> spending decline -> revenue decrease -> layoffs -> income loss requiring government intervention at some stage to stop spiralling (or ya know bottom out)

Depending on who you listen to, they use everything from manufacturing outputs, energy futures, consumer confidence indexes, 2/10 year bond spread, unemployment rates/claims, average wages, consumer goods sales, manufacturing supply indexes, the S&P 500 performance, inflation and money supply...

Ultimately a good combination of data to predict recessions makes something like the oil temperature gauge in your car.

If the temp is high, is your engine going bad? Not necessarily. But if the temp is high, is something going wrong? Probably.

This is not completely true, there are factors where the price of the trip or a bonus of that trip is larger if the pickup time is over the historical average pickup time.

For example if the trip is 10min pickup time and 10 min travel, Uber might bump up the price to make drivers be more willing to accept that trip.
Absolutely. I've been trying to help my SO (with no College degree or trade) try to find work in the Midwest. There is definitely a surplus of jobs in our mid-tier city, but nothing with any growth potential, autonomy, dignity, benefits, etc. I find it so odd that the salary for something labor-intensive like a warehouse is on-par with a cashier. The US is becoming very dystopian.

I wonder if the cross section area of the superconductor is relevant. If it is not then it could conceivably be enclosed inside a carbon nanotube to hold its pressure. A carbon nanotube can hold about 620,000 atmospheres of pressure. Not quite 2.5 million but maybe another substance can be found that can superconduct at a lower pressure. Perhaps multi-walled tubes could be made. I'm sure someone has already thought about this though.
