I think it depends on the car and the job.

I graduated in 2003 and had to buy a car. I was driving an 88 Chevy Blazer that was starting to hit around $750 per month in maintenance. Final straw was when a cylinder was losing compression. This was already on an SUV that had its engine rebuilt and had more than 165K miles on it. It had a Kelly Blue Book value of about $100.

So, couple months out of college, I bought a modest Chevy Cavalier. Monthly payments were 1/3 of what I was paying in repairs, around $240/month. I could afford the car payments, I couldnt afford the monthly repairs.

I didn't buy my first fun car for about another 4 years. By then, had a well paying job, only debt was what lingered on the previous car loan. At the time, didnt have a great salary, probably around $100k, but I was getting generous bonuses. Every bonus I had went to paying off atudent loans before I did anything more than a couple hundred splurge. I think that I had my student loans paid off in the first 3 years at my first salaried, full time job.

I think the key, for me, is that when my income tripled from when I was an intern, I didn't change my lifestyle. I lived the same, with a slightly more expensive so I could be closer to work & public trans. Everything went to paying down debt.

I think this is the misstep for younger people that suddenly come into earning a lot more money: more money in, increase the life style and spend the increase in income. It's an easy trap to make. And no, I'm not ragging on Millenials. Its a problem that has happened to previous generations in the same situation. I think it might be a lack of personal financial maturity (you know, out on your own, gobsmacked with more money youve ever seen in your life), not a generational thing.

Edit: clarification about exspense on the old vehicle
Why would transportation costs be higher in the US? Gasoline is two times cheaper in the US than in Sweden. Food is roughly the same price, depending of what you eat.

Exclusion of black American women from physics impacts physics epistemologies
They’re at human scale. There’s lots to look at, it’s quiet, there’s sense of security from not being out in the open, tons of advantages for humans.
For every one place you see it built, there's many more places zoned in such a way to exclude it. You're seeing the few exceptions.

Super interesting, how does it work in terms of pricing? Is the satellite data broadcast free? It's really neat how most of the US is convered. This might be a stupid question but do you need a license to use this and/or LoRa radio?
I recall that in Google’s early days they held a competition where they published a corpus of thousands of crawled webpages and invited developers to do something novel with the data.

The winner used pattern matching to identify addresses, then geocoded them using the US Census Bureau’s TIGER database. Thus it was possible to associate fairly accurate locations to a page, which enabled local searches and a number of other products.

Someone please correct me or fill in details I’ve forgotten.
We have a good number of local hams working on mesh networking projects here in rural norcal, including exploring options for emergency use. I know of 5-7 locally and at least another 4-5 one small city over. There have been some recent test runs locally for distance and coverage.

One of the goals is to set up a pan tilt camera to remotely watch for wildfires, and we are seeking Ubiquiti gear for use on the project. We'd like to link it from inland to the coast which will take some doing but is probably possible. There's a really impressive mesh network project in Washington state, one I recall in Texas, etc...we are talking hilltops and mountaintops connecting whole communities.

Ham radio has served us well here during recent emergencies. After the recent 4-5 day power outage & wildfires, one of the county-coverage repeaters that didn't have backup power was set up with backup power.. Other than that even my non-ham friends were saying that listening to the ham radio frequencies was more helpful than listening to first responders via radio. Also, broadcast FM radio was really nice and there were hourly updates, calls with county officials, etc. Facebook was ridiculous because it has no idea that you are suddenly needing updates from your sheriff first, and everything else later. Cell data speeds were about ISDN level or maybe a tad faster. I accidentally made duplicate purchases on Amazon because I couldn't tell if my first purchase went through due to slow load times.

On ham frequencies we had people on hilltops directly watching and monitoring the fires, calling out what they were seeing long before the fires hit the news.

Anyway if you want to get into this, definitely get your ham license. Give yourself 2 weeks of study and dive in. Working with hams you'll find it much easier to get access to know-how, gear, people, etc. Even if you work independently somehow, the free education is worth it.
There are some popular textbooks on computer architecture; Patterson's stuff is good, but there are better texts. Some techno-hobbyist sites (like Ars Technica) do CPU reviews that get into various microarchitectures. Datasheets from processor manufacturers are free and often have interesting details.

Going after things at a really low level, books like The Art of Electronics take you from transistors (and through things you probably don't care about, like power supplies and amplifiers) to digital electronics, to simple computer system design. You can probably find value by skimming the component-level stuff, skipping the goopy analog chapters, and just reading the digital electronics sections. (This is more or less how I started with personal computers in 1974 or so).
An EMP pulse weapon would be detonated hundreds of miles about the ground, how do you figure out the wind direction where that device was detonated after the internet, commercial radio stations, etc have all been knocked offline (assuming your personal electronics survived)
This particular database is mainly used to display results to humans, and whoever wrote the original code didn't bother to convert it from 8601 to human-readable (one of the things I'm fixing), so it stands out.
From a strict since of literal map makers drawing maps, yes that position would be obsolete apart from maybe some niche "for the art of it" scenarios, like the man mapping out the remaining dirt roads in the United States. Check out this New Yorker article if you're interested in that specific case: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/dirt-roa...
Surely there are many cartographers that work on the Maps team? I doubt all of that content can be generated directly from satellite images.

Furthermore there are many cartographers that work for e.g. oil companies and the military. Google Maps provides a great service to consumers, but there are thousands of map types that it does not support that both the public and private sector need made.
In all that Wall of Text, you fail to make a single cogent point, except to tiptoe around the very obvious misogyny. Coded language and technicalities aren’t really helping your case. It is not unfortunate that the parent cannot talk openly about his misogynistic interpretation of the success of the few women in tech he’s observed; that is precisely the point of calling that out. If the parents interpretation of the success of women in tech is reverse discrimination, the parents opinion is wrong and he must shut the fuck up about his “observation”. The very real numbers that we see today are that women are severely underrepresented in tech, and this is certainly caused by a variety of factors. But people like the parent are the rivulets that feed into the raging river of misogyny that so many women run into just by being successful in a male dominated industry.

So please stop justifying the parents intentions. I do not care about them, or his freedom to express his non-explicit but actually really misogynistic interpretation.
I’d want that extended to include joint responsibility of the highest level employees who were aware of criminal acts or fraud. After all the common refrain justifying huge incomes for high level employees/execs/board members is the “risk” in their jobs.

That risk should include personal responsibility. As long as the only people who suffer meaningfully are normal ICs, customers, and small shareholders there’s no actual reason for the boards to change behavior. Fines are passed on as increased costs (PG&E), reduced wages (every company), etc - I’m sure once individual executives can be sent to jail for allowing criminal acts the behaviour will change. (Until they buy a law to remove their liability)
I didn't say it was simple. I didn't say you needed to abandon mastery of a field of your choice.

It is hard. But a soccer player should know how to make pasta, cook meat so that he doesn't get sick, even if he isn't a gourmet chef. He should be able to do physical activity without harming himself, etc.

We should all be generalists to some degree. Where on that spectrum of specialization we should be satisfied is a valid debate.

I also don't disagree that there are costs/inefficiencies generated by being more generalists vs more specialized. But it also depends on the size of the organization you can rely on. If I work at a startup, I may need to be more of a generalist. If I work at FAANG, I can specialize because I can depend more on the specializations of others.
Cars are required in most cities in the US to hold a job due to lack of public transportation.

Cars are required in most rural areas in the US because there is no other way around.
I used to dream of switching out roots and making a new internet, but that seems like it'd never work. What about a TLD instead, with the simple tenent that no advertising or tracking was allowed, ever? Doing so would get your domain sinkholed. Something like that done right, with some free or ultra cheap tier for honest users, I could see attracting users. And more users maybe more companies would want to join in. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud. I share the sentiments of the author, and find the modern web gross. Outside of maybe 4 or 5 websites(this one included), I don't use it much anymore. And this isn't just an old man hating change, it's objectively much different, and all worse.
"Some developers may complain that distros ship their software too slowly, but you shouldn’t sweat it."

Our problem over at ardour.org isn't that they're too slow - it's that they don't get it right. Hence our own distro-neutral package, and our policy that this is the only version we can support.
This is correct. That said, the structure of full-time employment is also pretty bad for mental health. Our world is just overall structured poorly for mental health, and I say this not facetiously.
I did that too. Little Snitch is a wonderful app (although I suspect it lets DNS lookups through)
Bitcoin isn't anonymous. The ledger is public and your wallet has to be linked to you only once for every purchase you've done to be entirely attributed to you.

This can even happen years after you've deleted the wallet key and moved on to a new wallet.

Currently, average BA graduates have $28k in debt. $400 a month will pay that off in roughly 7 years, depending on the interest rate on the loan.

Frugal living (aka sharing a studio apartment with a spouse, not eating out or making luxury purchases) makes that entirely doable, probably faster. OTOH, living above your means or lots of unexpected expenses (pet health care, personal health care, car maintenance, etc) can put that out of reach pretty quickly as well.
I used to think that way - just treat date times like string encoding. Pick your desired format (UTC/UTF-8), convert into it on input, convert from it on output as needed.

But it turns out there are situations where it does matter. If you ever run into a multi-timezone calendar problem, this approach breaks down.

A couple of examples of where it doesn't work:

* My alarms needs to wake me up at 8am. If I am at home, this should be 8am Irish time. If I relocate myself to the US, it should be 8am in whatever US timezone is currently in effect for my location.

* I want to schedule something to happen all day Irish time next Christmas. From 00:00 to 23:59. In the meantime, the EU actually abolishes DST: https://www.npr.org/2019/03/27/707179979/european-parliament... - The UTC conversion of 2020-12-25T00:00:00[Europe/Dublin] today gets converted to 2020-12-25T01:00:00[Europe/Dublin] when you try invert it in christmas 2020.

Both these situations are resolved with local dates/times. The first one should just be a local date, while the second one requires the combination of the local date and the timezone to happen at time of check, not at time of input.
I mean there’s a real problem in that many people are arranging their livelihoods around single platforms.

As much as I hate crowder for example, he ensured that most of his income comes from advertising his own store and products, so being demonetized for repeatedly violating YT policies didn’t actually cost him much.
“Cartographer” was replaced by “Geospatial data scientist” or the like.

There is little market left for purely drawing maps. That is now just an expected skill among those in the field of GIS.

Nobody else is saying it so I will: Non-dischargeable loans have resulted in spiraling student loan debt.

Lenders have no reason not to give out these loans as they will be repaid even if it is sub-prime.

Schools have no reason not to jack up rates because students are given largely unlimited access to loans.

Both parties have been repeating this and raising their incomes for decades ever since student loans have become non-dischargeable.

Instead of ranking loans based on repayability, lenders have divorced themselves from financial reality because government intervention.
Yes, the broadcast is free to receive.

To use the transmit outside of ISM bands, you definitely need to be a ham (and stay within ham bands).
The missing wisdom here is that maybe the government should take on a high-risk, societally high-reward investment like education.
It wasn't naive, it was hateful disregard for the needs of the poor and working classes.
There are already a lot a more sources of information today (beside encrypted nessages) than there was in the pre internet era. At that time you simply called from a public phone (for example), even less trackable. Not to mention all the nowadays technology that ease remote tracking of any sort (micro sensors, cameras etc etc). So no, to me it does not go both ways

Policies like this are really weird to me, wouldn't they just encourage back channeling more?

Ideally you'd encourage supposedly "private" conversations then snoop on those.
As someone has already commented, the definition of an 'efficient market' in no way equates willingness to pay with utility, and in fact economists seldom make this assumption. Pareto efficiency is very deliberately not utilitarian. A Pareto efficient outcome needn't be a 'good' outcome, it is just an outcome such that no other outcome would make everyone better off. If an outcome isn't Pareto efficient then there is room for improvement. It's worth noting that while Pareto efficiency is central to some very neat foundational concepts taught in introductory econ, modern ecenomic research uses a range of welfare measures to quantitatively evaluate policies. This includes utilitarian welfare analysis. These maybe better capture the actual ethical goals we should have when making policy decisions, but they are usually a bit ad hoc and don't lead to such neat results.

Sorry, I see that my response looks ambiguous.

I meant the opposite. The high profile containers generally do the right thing, but containers created by peers rarely do it.

There's no mechanism to make things reproducible you need to implement it yourself, and from my experience most people (not the ones that release something publicly, but ones that work for a companies that use it) don't do it.

Yes, ageism is a pernicious in many industries.

The key is to evaluate individuals fairly including what they bring to the team. Maybe they don't type 80 WPM or know every single cool tool but maybe they can find subtle bugs and write less code? That's valuable.

Why not teach this at school instead? It's simple math, physics, and biology, but the amount of people I've run into that just don't know how it works is ridiculous. Being able to read the calorie part of a nutrition label seems like it would be more useful than knowing world geography.
What you're describing is called a bait car and cops have been using them for decades. Back in the day typical bait cars were shitty cars with aftermarket sound systems. Made for interesting reality TV (for the standards of reality TV at the time).

Monero has the concept of private view key and spend key. The view key only lets you check balance without loss of privacy.

View keys can be printed as a mnemonic seed (a set of meaningless English words).

Would printing of view keys mnemonic not be equivalent to this? With the added advantage that printing is not centralized?
I didn't know anything about the ad industry, but it seems like you may be off by an order of magnitude. Click through rates average 3+%, and it costs around $2.70 per click.[1] That seems to mean an impression is worth in the ballpark of 8-10 cents. Based on my recent web browsing history tonight, I seem to have visited around one page per minute.

So, the problem is not how to create the infrastructure for micropayments, but rather that explicit charges would be very high - the effective cost of browsing the commercial web is about $6/hr, which is about twice what it cost in the mid 90s to use AOL.

I'm not sure of all the implications, but I think this should substantially change a person's views.

Indian nationalism can get especially weird where it intersects with Hindu fundamentalism. A common pattern I've seen is claims that a modern invention or scientific discovery (like the speed of light, or the light bulb, or a space probe) was actually "inspired by", or "predicted by", or even "stolen from" the Vedas.

(This isn't to detract from the technological discoveries which really did originate in India, of course! A few commonly cited true examplies of these are place-value numeric notation, cataract surgery, and certain advances in early metallurgy. The sorts of claims I'm referring to are much more fanciful -- for instance, one I've seen is that certain large symbolic numbers in the Vedas actually represent values of scientific interest, like the speed of light, the diameter of the Earth, or the distance to the Moon.)
The solution to the scenario is (spoiler alert) to attach multiple locks.

Alice attaches her lock.

Alice sends the locked package to Bob.

Bob attaches his lock.

Bob sends the twice locked package to Alice.

Alice removes her lock.

Alice sends the package, locked with only Bob's lock, to Bob.

Bob removes his lock and opens the package.

----

The scheme you discussed is really similar to this, but I guess with one key difference; in the scheme you describe the locks themselves contain information and are hidden by a second lock.

I don't think there is a good extension to the solution I posted above, but it's as if when Bob attaches his lock it is hidden until Alice removes her lock, and at that point Alice only cares about what Bob's lock looks like.
Why? If I take out a loan in order to go on a cruise, the cruise company is not responsible if I default. In fact, with almost every purchase that involves a loan, the company offering the loan is different than the company offering the product / service. If responsibility fell on the university, then they could just refuse to accept people who take out loans. The result being that only rich people could go to college.
No really, or at least for anyone at all tech savvy -- and the reasons why are important.

The key trick to what Google are doing is that Google never ends up knowing anything about what their users passwords are AND their users never end up knowing which passwords Google has discovered YET between them they arrange that the user knows if any of their passwords are known to Google. Magic!

With Pwned Passwords users can learn any arbitrary subset of the Pwned Passwords full password hashes they please for just one API call per prefix - with Password Checkup you have to start by guessing a username plus password combination, then do a bunch of fairly expensive operations, and you only get back a boolean. It's essentially never worth it for bad guys who are guessing.

This has two advantages, and doubtless both are attractive to Google although one advantage is better PR than the other

1. Bad Guys can't sieve the Google system for valuable data. For Pwned Passwords this isn't a big concern because Troy is using readily available password lists. Spending say $5M to get the raw passwords Troy used as input back by processing Troy's data makes no sense, just download a Torrent of it. But Google's Password Checkup doesn't just use public sources. Spending $5M (again just an example figure) to steal data from Google that may not be available to your criminal gang otherwise might be worth it for a big enough score. And it'd be bad PR for Google if a customer gets attacked by such crooks using data which those crooks couldn't have obtained at all without Google. Troy can always say "This data already existed, I didn't make the problem worse" but Google's non-public data can't make that claim.

2. Good guys can't either. Google has a valuable service here, locked into Google's infrastructure. They can choose to give it away, but they could also (as they have with some other products) later decide they'd prefer to monetize it. Either way, nobody else can duplicate it even though millions of people are using it, thanks to cryptography.

The costs are pretty enormous too. Pwned Passwords is mostly just a CDN, and clients are trivial. The upfront maths to make it work was hard, but that's a one-time thing. But Password Check incurs a considerable ongoing cost for Google to do hard maths AND each client needs lots of RAM (this is a memory hard problem on purpose, to exhaust bad guys who might try to exploit it)
