I struggled for a long time managing my money. I had cycles where I decided I needed to organize my financial life, then download a software like MoneyLover (Android), and go over the last couple months of my statements to add every purchase to their categories. I would keep adding the expenses for a while, but always ended up stopping to use it.

This december I decided to give YNAB [1] a try.

I was skeptical at first, but now I'm a convert. They have a lot of material on how to budget in a very simple way. But I think the moment their system clicked for me was when I noticed I was using Categories "wrong". Let me give an example.

Say my wife and I go out for dinner and movies. Previously, my expenses would look like:

Transportation - $20

Cinema - $40

Restaurant - $60

The categories are directly tied to what was purchased. That made sense, but this is focusing on the wrong level IMHO. It's not what was purchased, but why? With YNAB, my expenses look like:

Date Night - $120

The important isn't where the money was spent, but the reason you spent it. Paying a taxi to go to work is different than paying a taxi to go on a date.

This seemingly simple difference changed the way I view my budget. The categories are meaningful for me, and not just the standard "Groceries", "Transportation", "Rent", etc.

I have been using it just for one month, but I love it! I highly recommend you to give it a try.

my guess is an effective system of healthcare and/or UBI would decrease the suicide rate somewhat, because people wouldn't feel so helpless.

I'm not sure that max wage algorithm creates a healthy incentive though. it would seem to encourage hiring more employees than necessary just to increase the executive's compensation. I think people can often tell when their job isn't really necessary and it probably doesn't feel very good.
Texas also has a value increase cap for owner-occupied residences, though not as generous (10% per assessment, since the state uses three-year assessment periods).

> Why should we be giving tax breaks to people who have seen incredible appreciation of their homes. Those are the last people who should be getting tax breaks.

It's about not forcing people to move because he area they live in appreciates suddenly. Basically, the same argument as rent control. That an owner gets to cash out some value is cold comfort when their life is uprooted against their will.
I was thinking that at first too, but the more I thought about it, maybe they do? For example if I GET /some/large/file.pdf, get 50% through, then cancel, the server is not going to _keep sending the bits_, is it? It should handle the socket closed stop reading the file, etc. With sever code, I've never seen IIS cancel ASP.NET code, but now I'm wondering if it doesn't make sense in some cases...

Actually, yeah, you can do it in ASP.NET, looks like: https://andrewlock.net/using-cancellationtokens-in-asp-net-c...

My suspicion is yes. Doesn’t much matter if mean economic indicators are trending up while the majority of people are becoming worse-off.

I also think social media/internet is to blame for this though, because it makes the realities of economic inequality much more real than just tangentially hearing about celebrities in rags and trashtv.
The two hashes aren't compatible, so a hash of the same message will yield two different hashes under BLAKE2 and BLAKE3.

As far as I can tell, BLAKE2 has effectively all the properties BLAKE3 has (arbitrary output length, keyed hash mode), so the upgrade for communications boils down to negotiating/determining which of the two hash functions to use over the wire (with all the downsides that come with agility of cryptographic primitives); for stored hashes, they have to be recomputed and replaced (or you could store a flag is BLAKE2/is BLAKE3 and update them as you touch hashes, kind of similar to how password hashes are swapped at login time).

Note that BLAKE3 existing doesn't break BLAKE2. It's perfectly fine to just keep trucking BLAKE2, it's just that BLAKE3 has better performance characteristics that make it very attractive.

> In terms of any environmental benefit, I highly suspect more gasoline is being consumed to collect and distribute scooters than the offset of a few last mile transports.

I agree, however, it's obscured by an Uber-style gig: a lot of these startups incentivize random people to drive around, collect & charge their scooters. That allows them to set the financial cost of charging and ignore the underlying environmental cost.

I suspect it's one way they hide the maintenance costs while pretending to contribute to the "gig economy".

Are you all sure that is not the pattern of the ship looking for the device?
My big problem with IoT devices is trust. When a third party has control of my data, I have to trust the company is going be a responsible steward for my data. This is particularly telling since few of them (none?) have binding terms of service which protect the rights of the buyer. So you have situations like this where abuse happens or companies like Canary which made a rather big and infuriating change to their policies on storing data. To make things more complicated, if it's a small company you have to worry about it getting acquired. I've had multiple occasions where products I've purchased have shifted from having decent terms to terms which make me want to toss the product in the trash.

As a result, I'm extremely cautious about purchasing IoT products. I haven't given up smart devices entirely, but I avoid the ones that require an account to sign in or rely heavily on cloud services. Smart cameras are particularly tricky since they reveal so much about you, particularly combined with machine learning and face identification.
> very few people are going to buy new hardware just to try out an OS

We do have VM's and emulators, but yes, the cost of switching OS's is huge. That's true with or without broad hardware compatibility.

My point is this: I don't think the idea of OS-agnostic hardware ever really existed. The fact that most Windows PC's can also run Linux is an exceptional accomplishment, and not something other projects can be expected to replicate. You might get other OS's to boot, but not with full functionality.
I have my own little saying that I always say in response to that saying:
Lack of money can definitely cause unhappiness though

You don't need to look further than Maslow's hierarchy of needs to see why, when you don't have enough money to reliably fulfill some of the most fundamental needs like shelter and food, it's going to severely hinder your self actualization. Forget about moving on to the more psychological higher-level needs when you are worrying about where you are going to sleep tonight. It's easy to understand why happiness might be very hard to reach for individuals who don't have enough money to cover their basic needs

The market is great, and a lot of money from the trump tax cuts has been used for buybacks that kept prices rising, but wages have stagnated as expenses such as health care, child care, education, etc have all increased rapidly.
Is not so easy. A DNA chain is a physical object and information at the same time. If you copy it, you are copying an object that could be used to "make a copy of you", and allowing "random company or people" to pick this info opens the door to several problems. i.e. Imagine that somebody stole your sperm somehow and use it to make a child and blackmail you asking for money each month for 18 years because you are "the father", so pay me. Boris Becker suffered a similar case.

In the same way synthetic fragments of your DNA could be left in a crime scenery. It would be enough to clone only the handful of good parts able to trigger a rape test, and we have machines that could be feed with your public data and programmed to do this. No need to say that this could put you in a jail for the rest of your life, or worse.

You need to protect yourself from a lot of posible evil uses of your unique code, past and future.
I worked in downtown San Antonio, one of the markets being pulled from. Scooters were very popular when they first arrived, but pretty much none of my coworkers used them any more. The main issues are cost and time. It takes too long to open the app and get riding and it costs too much. Downtown here is also pretty walkable, so the high costs don’t make much sense when I could be getting exercise. The scooters are also fairly miserable when it’s 104F in the summer and 40F in the winter, making them very seasonal. They are banned on sidewalks here, but I had no issues riding them in the slow downtown SA traffic.
It is, yet it's something most people take for granted. When I moved out from closer to the metro center with my wife I lost access to the bus system, restricting my ability to get around without needing her to drive me. Buying my bike and scooter this year gave my lost freedom back, which just feels good.

I didnt know Doom was all integer ... quite a feat.

In the general sense though the lack of floating point, as well as flat video addressing seriously hampered Amiga in the 3D ahem space.

The civil engineers in downtown santa monica have engineered a brilliant solution: stencil a scooter and box on the sidewalk. This is some serious space grade stuff considering JPL isn't too far away, unsure if we have the engineering capabilities to apply this solution in other cities. Better ban them outright, right?

In all seriousness, the apps let cities geofence arbitrary areas. You could just spray paint an orderly and designated parking spot on the corner and have the app only let you lock up if you are parked in the designated parking spot, validated with the photo you take after the ride.

>No, it is not classism, it is finiteness of resources.

Education is not a finite resource (I think you know that and hence you changed the goal post from math to experiments).

Nevertheless, when those that have the resources look down on those without (calling them cranks), based not on the merit of their ideas but based on the lack of resources to prove the ideas...that is classism.
The whole model of needing to own your own transportation devices is flawed.

9/10 times, I'm moving from one location with many other people in it to another location with many other people. I would prefer not needing to own any medium in order to move between them, but instead be able to use a public service to do so. Bus, tram, metro, citybike, scooter. I'd really rather not own stuff with really high capital costs, like cars.

At this point, the only reason to own anything more expensive than a bike is bad city planning and infrastructure.

Go get one.

Used to own robo-vacuum cleaners of many brands, eventually sold them all, as each of them caused more work than they were supposed to spare me. After that I was reluctant to get a robomower but it is worth it.

Pros:

- you have to buy machinery anyways (if you're new to having a yard)

- less noise

- it will get mowed more often

- more mows -> healthier lawn

Setup cons:

- you have to bury/hammer a wire into the ground surrounding the area to-be-mowed

- you may have to expand/change your wifi-setup because mower/base-station need access as well

- like with robomowers, decoration is an obstacle. It will either get destoryed or destroy the bot

- because of this, need to have less decoration or need to surround them by wires as well

Recurrent cons:

- obstacles hit can (and will) cause blades to break free

- bc of this I have to replace the blades every 2-3 months (the only real maintenance to be done)

- at least try to find the lost blades (unless you're ok with guests/kids stepping into some unexpected, dirty, rusty, crooked blade
I use Google Sheets to manage my budget: https://i.imgur.com/e02ibvY.png

I make a spreadsheet called 'Budget YYYY', typically some time between October and December I make the next year's version, and then these for each month.

The control panel tracks income, where it goes, what was budgeted and what was actually spent.

The Credit Card Balance sheets I use twice a month to get all balances, prompt me to review all statements, and mark all of that off. It’s self-contained and doesn’t impact the rest of the budget.

Income this period gets money added in when I get it.

For spending, I track a couple of categories:

- Yearly / Bi-Annual Bills: Anything that happens not monthly. Domain registrations, car insurance, etc.

- Variable recurring bills: things that I have to pay, but don’t know how much they will be. Electric bill, water bill, etc. I rough-estimate these, and the longer I’ve lived at a place the more accurate I get.

- Static Recurring Bills: Things that are the same every month. Rent, subscription services,

- Grocery Expenses: Anything related to grocery shopping for food / household supplies.

- Restaurants: I explicitly break restaurants out into its own category to better let me see how much money I spend eating out, this is new this year.

- Travel Expenses: When I travel for work, I track things here, and then track the reimbursement.

- Other: Random spending money.

Then for savings I have boxes for:

Savings Account Deposits: I keep a number of savings account set aside for specific purposes, I record deposits into them here.

Savings Account Withdrawls: If I’m using extra money this month for something, I add it as income, and then debt it as a savings account withdrawl. For example, Christmas I made a withdrawal for money from savings, then added it as income, then recording the items bought under “Other”.

Does that mean like, all the time?

For example.. if I'm looking at a star, and thinking it's the 'same' photon that came off of that star billions of years ago... that might be true in the vacuum of space, but since it's passed through the medium of the atmosphere, does that mean it's constantly been absorbed/new photons being emitted?
I have the opposite experience with the Lime scooters; they're my go-to. I've had a few duds, and of course anything on the street is subject to abuse and vandalism, but it's nice that outside of battery and motor issues, a five second inspection will give you a reliable indicator of how it will ride. All the electronic brakes I tried from any company make a very dangerous assumption that stopping time and distance don't matter as long as you come to a stop gently, so I stopped using scooters without mechanical brakes. The number one thing I appreciate about Lime is that they have gone entirely to mechanical brakes, atl least in my market. Bird scooters are okay, too, but I've relegated them to second choice after having some bad experiences with their speed regulators kicking in really hard (similar to the braking experience you describe, but without any warning, much less any action by the user.) Early on I experienced some inconsistency and frustration with their top speed, as well. Aggression from drivers is more likely to kill me than anything else, so when I set out on a one- or two-mile trip on city streets and realized I couldn't top 13mph, it was scary enough to make me stop and look for a different scooter.

Most of all, though, I wonder how much of my brand preferences are entirely the result of randomness.
I'm relatively paranoid when it comes to privacy and also did 23andMe for similar reasons.

I stopped thinking of my DNA as a secret when I realized how impossible it is to keep other people from having access to it. Once someone knows it, you cannot change it like a password.

DNA is an anti-secret. You share it everywhere you go and cannot stop. It's no more secret or personal than your shoe size or height.
I think the point about Card is particularly interesting. Card's writing can be terrific, and in particular some of it is terrific because of the nuanced way it questions religious orthodoxy and/or the role of religion in society. As an anti-religionist, I greatly appreciate how Card's writing has both acknowledged my concerns and also raised counterpoints. It is indeed hard to reconcile that with what we have heard about his personal positions. Good on him, I guess.

I note that he's not the only Mormon SF writer I've thought that about, though the other one that comes to mind has evolved his public politics over the last decade. But making that connection ("Mormon SF writer") may be an invalid cognitive bias.
I use Rohan Overlanders. They are pretty lightweight but warm enough when moving. 6 pockets that fit an OS map :-)

They dry extremely quickly and you can give them a wash in tech wash to give them a bit dwr. I think they hit a good balance of fast drying and warm enough when moving.

But if it's going to be very wet and you know it then some simple baselayer trousers with a brethable (read: air permeable, not just water vapour) shell trouser, preferably with braces, is the way I go. eVent is great but so is NeoShell I think it's called.

> It's apparent you didn't understand what I wrote at all.

It's hard to say. I told you what it seemed like you wrote and explicitly asked what the point was, hoping there was more to it than just an series of insults.

You responded with this seemingly independent comment, which is fine, but very different in content than your initial comment. Because of that, it's not surprising that I would have missed the point of your initial comment if in fact both of these comments are attempting to convey the same information.

> My point is (and I'll spell it out for you too, since I think it may apply) -- knowing the right thing is usually much much much much less important than being able to get other people to understand the right thing.

In my opinion, it depends.

Getting people to understand what you're saying when you're wrong isn't helpful at all.

If you do have something original and helpful to say, it is important to convey that information in a manner that others understand.

If you're saying something everyone in your audience already knows, it doesn't matter if you're personally understood or not, because the position is understood by default.

Unfortunately, I put this article in the last category. I am legitimately questioning whether I learned a single new thing of value from reading that entire article, and questioning whether anyone in the audience of that author wouldn't already know this information.

> This article is good because it does the 2nd.

In case it isn't obvious already, we disagree here. I don't think it gets people to understand much of anything, because I don't see any point to the article (which I read in its entirety for the record). To me, it's a compilation of generally well known issues, personal anecdotes ranging from amusing to distracting, and theories that don't seem to have much backing them up. I ended the article wondering why the author (who I respect) spent so much time and effort compiling commonly known information that has been repeatedly analyzed and presented elsewhere, and when (if ever) there would be a point to this series of articles.

You've stated twice now that this is a great article. I'm asking you why you feel it gets people to "understand the right thing", because it didn't have that effect on me.

> There is no lack of unhappy people decrying problems, the world has no use for that.

I'm not sure if I agree with that, and I'm not sure what use there is for extremely long-winded descriptions of the status quo.

> The world does have use for people who can inspire differently-minded people to focus on (and find joy in) fixing a common challenge.

What is that common challenge here?
