Quicken is a different company now than Intuit, as of spring 2016.

FWIW, I worked at Intuit after that divestiture, and there are super smart honest people there, comparable to high ranking pals from years of Apple engineering days, but, cripplingly, some total engineering absurdities from old-timers.

Basically, technical debt was vast.

> "[...] I think the idea that self-reliant people don't care about others or don't genuinely appreciate giving & receiving help is cartoonish hyperbole [...]"

Note this isn't what other people are saying. They are saying self-reliant people are not entirely self-reliant. It's not a matter of appreciation, it's a matter of understanding we're the products of society, family, luck, and the efforts of others, as well as our own merit -- i.e. we're not entirely self-reliant. The same critique can be made of the overestimated notion of "meritocracy".
What was the reason they actually removed it? The official answer seemed to be a vague hand-wavy "not many of you were using it and it's better if you use our other budgeting tool and write out a physical check anyway."

Pointing out a contradiction of policy and interest between civilian and military who each have independent concerns and capability doesn't necessary imply sarcasm. I took nimbius to mean that it will be interesting (as in get your popcorn) to see who's influence in the halls of power win out when such a contradiction exists.
A charitable interpretation of what jwomers meant is that overall, when looked at in the aggregate of our society, men face less harmful discrimination against their gender than women do.
> If you was mistaken for someone else that doesn’t automagically free you from crimes or connections you have yourself, apart from that person

Wow. I have seen this attitude deployed by law enforcement against certain demographics "Well, he might not have committed this crime, but he committed some other crime for sure. Pinning this on him is no biggie, he had it coming". This attitude makes a mockery of any nation that considers itself a nation ruled by law - that is not the way the law should work
Ha, I learned to drive around there in the late 90s, absolute nightmare.

No need for a smartphone. The information packet + drop box / postal vote is fantastic.

For the aircraft units (ELTs), it's triggered by g-forces.

Almost all aircraft in the US are required to have an ELT beacon installed on-board, though many are still equipped with the old analog (121.5 MHz) technology which isn't monitored by satellite anymore.

If you want to carry a backup or want to have a modern digital beacon (406 MHz), you can certainly carry a PLB. Many pilots do, myself included. Note that these are manually activated only, no g-force sensor.

For a PLB, I recommend picking up an ACR ResQLink. They retail for about $300.
This[0] is a very elaborate version of the turbo roundabout, checking it out in streetview might help. But basically the roundabout functions more like a standard junction with room to choose a direction before turning (I don't think there is an English translation for "voorsorteren", or sort before...).

Of course, you might not want to have sensitive data on Google's machines for one reason or another, in which case you'd have to buy an external GPU, or better yet a whole other machine.

In other words : just because it isn't said doesn't mean it isn't thought. Few people want to be honest and defend their opinion in the face of an 'admin', anywhere. It's potentially self-defeating compared to just staying quiet.

> Standard counterpoint objection here that I'm not sure I "buy" ADHD. How much of it is just "being human" (and in particular "being a young human") in a world that's inhuman? Is it a coincidence that the condition was first "observed" around the onset of industrialization a couple hundred years ago?

To some degree, you are right. Many illnesses are defined by "suffers from ___ to a degree that it interferes with their ability to function effectively". The latter half of that means that mental illness really is affected by our surrounding culture and institutions.

You need food to live and in our world you need a job to buy food. In a world where all the jobs require effective social interaction, even mild autism could be debilitating. But in a world where there are jobs that mostly involve working with machines or animals, it could simply be within the realm of healthy mental variation. So is being on the autism spectrum a disorder or just a difference? Depends on what's on the classified page today.

But it's also important to realize that for ADHD, ASD, and other mental conditions, many people are far enough along their respective spectra that these are unequivocally real diseases that cause them profound suffering in ways that can't be blamed on "society".

Watching someone with untreated ADHD fail to hold down a mind-numbing meaninless dystopian capitalist hellhole job is one thing. Watching them struggle to reach their own personal goals ("just one more YouTube video and then I'll work on that novel"), take care of their physical health ("I'll start exercising tomorrow"), and build healthy long-term personal relationships is another ("I'm so sorry I forgot to call you back, again").

ADHD fundamentally interferes with a person's ability to enact long-term planning over time. This is a fundamental human need independent of the effects of industrial civilization.

I run all of my spending through BoA credit cards / checking accounts, and they automatically categorize 99% of transactions and there's a nice little report of the last 12 months. It also incorporates Merrill data, and you can add other companies' logins to so BoA can import those transactions too, but I'm not a fan of giving out login information.
The analogy doesn't work.

Pro-womens' organizations don't lead to systemic anti-male oppression or to women having the equivalent power to the white establishment of the civil rights era, but merely to one with less gender bias. Men are not made an underclass by women having equal power to them in society. And... we're in a thread about one such organization that doesn't discriminate against men, yet is still seen as sexist.

There is no way to create equality in an unequal system without taking some power from the privileged and giving it to the unprivileged. To do otherwise is to accept the status quo as justified.
I understand your sentiment, but from my perspective, I see you saying that because some awful men show up, we must discourage, or deprioritize the participation of all men. I also understand filtering for "bad actors", but then shouldn't your efforts be directed towards filtering those bad actors instead?

As an example of broad gender-based filtering, malls and movie theatres in my country have reserved days that they call "family days". They're essentially days when men, unaccompanied by females, are barred from entry. It's sexist, technically Unconstitutional, and plainly unethical, but on those days, single male parents can't go to the mall alone and male-only friends can't go watch a movie or have to settle for tickets in the male-only section (yes, it's a thing).

In their quest to filter out "bad actors", businesses have filtered out almost all men. As I said before: "I find these to be well-meaning but ultimately sexist policies making it okay to treat people differently based on gender"
They're both so bad that I don't see any point in drawing a distinction. For practical purposes, yes, they're equally bad.
In the case of Squeezebox, Logitech stopped selling them a while back, but to their credit they are still actively maintaining the self hosted server: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver which has some plugins and bridges to other services.

I would say what they are doing with Squeezebox is the best case scenario for a lot of these connected devices, even though the complexity of having a self-hosted option is in no doubt part of what lead to their failure.

What has candidly started to scare me, after a good # of years voting with the packet (and I assure you I _research_ far beyond what the packet contains) is the fact that I'm often Still Clueless at the end.

A toy example is a recent tax levy for some hospital funding. While the packet contained some thousand-foot information on what it was for and amount/etc, there was NO breakdown as far as I could tell, even online, (certainly no objective/in depth/expert sourced) that actually tried to answer "what are the pros and cons? (this sometimes exists in the packet but often not for some of the more technical decisions) Is this a normal tax? Is the argument for or against disingenous? Are there better ways to source this revenue? Is there proper accountability and controls on utilization, and is the underlying legislation solid?

Take the following not as tooting my horn but to give a point of perspective: I have multiple degrees (including advanced) in applied math and CS, and spend an inordinate amount of my time reading about politics, law, and history. I still feel ill-equipped to vote on many of these topics. It sometimes amazes me that the system is as functional as it is now, if even a portion of decisions are made in this fashion.
Ten years of having to do reading groups and go around the circle reading a sentence or a paragraph at a time made me bitterly hate reading aloud.

Especially when for some insane reason the group was the entire class of kids with a spread of at least six grade levels in literacy, and it took so long to go around that you could be multiple chapters ahead by the time your turn came back up.
If rates go up, I have also locked in a lower rate of financing using the banks money, typically 75% where I invest. And we hold our properties for the long term, as we get tax consideration for almost 3 decades. Depreciation is a powerful tool to amass an investment base faster, and 1031 exchanges can postpone the tax from sales of the properties if and when we do sell. Lastly, that event would be similar to the game of Monopoly, i.e. trading in 4 houses for a hotel.

Another merit is positive cash flow is now. If I were to continue to enjoy financial deals like I negotiated for our first 4 doors, $600K is all that is needed for control over enough assets to bring in $8K a month in cash flow.

In the US, currently cash flow/investment returns can be received with a lower tax base than earned income, again making it more powerful. Subject to change, of course, but I work with what exists now and hopefully let the future work out how it will.

I had the same experience with the Globe and Mail in Canada. You get ads regardless of whether or not you're a paying subscriber, and while you can sign up online, you can't cancel. It was a total pain in the ass to do that over the phone, and it's a glaringly-obvious (and misguided) retention tactic.

I'll never subscribe to them again. What a short-sighted way to optimize for revenue at any cost.

Yes, if you had never used a computer it was probably fine, but I was disappointed I didn't get to learn anything new. Although as a teenager I appreciated being able to slack off with an easy class.

Trusting VPN is bad practice.
Yeah, it’s always bothered me—after growing up in CA with information packets—that, now living in TN, there are no such packets mailed to voters. I still don’t understand how anyone feels comfortable voting on anything or anyone at local, county, and state levels here (myself included). Finding impartial information and analysis on measures is extremely difficult (I hesitate to say impossible, but it pretty much is for an average voter). Trying to talk with anyone about ballot measures usually results in blank stares.
Both questions are interesting for different reasons.
The article seemed to be more about appreciating the networks that have allowed the author to be successful (in her case especially the authors she has discovered in her neighborhood bookstore). I don't think anyone is telling people in bad situations that they shouldn't bother trying to help themselves; rather, we are suggesting that no successful person becomes successful alone.
Yes, but as saas_sam says, no-one actually believes they are truly completely self reliant in that cartoonish way.

When people speak of being self-reliant, they obviously don't literally mean that they were spawned from some sort of spontaneous reaction, that they farm their own cotton, sew their own shirts, invent their own scientific disciplines and produce semiconductors in their garage in the clean room they built from scratch.

They're referring more to building their own path in life and going out and getting what they want rather than waiting for it to be handed to them.

It's similar to how you or I might say we "need" something, when really it's qualified, because almost all use of language is.
Trust me, it's not just you. That is exactly why I couldn't use any of the budgeting apps. I'm an adult and I don't want to be told by an app where I can spend my money.

Funded takes an "anti-budgeting" approach. You only set up your obligations and savings. You're left with discretionary spending that rolls over every paycheck and you can spend it on whatever you want. Not tracked and not budgeted.

Lmk what you think!
Working hard, working long, maximizing productivity, and maximizing value are all separate things. They do not necessarily correlate positively across the whole scale let alone perfectly at the peaks.

You should be optimizing for value. If you optimize for one of the other three you're making a sucker tradeoff by definition. You will have to work some hours with some effort to generate some productivity to maximize value for yourself, but anything past that more value is going to your employer than the opportunity cost for you of your time.

This is tautological but it's worth saying because your language fits the pattern of someone who chases productivity as a proxy for personal value. Or in other words you value the possessions money can buy more than the experiences you could have with free time. The tell for workaholism isn't always 80 hours a week or some numerical threshold, it's also that you look down on people who value free time more than you do. That's an indicator that you aren't adjusting your own values, that you've delegated that function to the companies you're so happy to please--which always optimize to extract from you rather than maximize value in your own life.
Personal Capital is good, however, be aware they require a phone number for 2FA and they will call you once every 1-2 years on that phone number to try to sell you their advising services.

To me it's still worth that annoyance. The only thing I use it for is balancing my portfolio across ~8ish different brokerage accounts.
This shouldn't be acceptable even if the guy was osama bin Laden. It makes America look deranged, a violent psychopathic country out for blood at any and all costs. It makes me truly ashamed to be American and pay American taxes, taxes that support this torture and blatant disregard for everyone's rights. It also makes me ashamed of my fellow Americans who support or supported the administrations that did this. There is no excuse for this and no excuse for supporting this, now or then. Apparently we can torture people to death without charges but can't get healthcare for our own people. That's some sick society.

In most places in the US, rescue is free as long as it's legitimate and you weren't being completely reckless.

They may chose to charge for false alarms, or if you did something that was completely and unambiguously boneheaded (e.g. the person who called for help three different times on the same trip for trivial comfort issues). But they usually prefer not to charge, since it would deter people from calling from help in a real emergency.

Rules very from state to state though. And outside the US, having to pay for rescue is more common.
And damn well they deserve to win, the state owes them.
This is why local news is incredibly important, their job is to decipher this for you. For national things like Presidential elections, I couldn't care less who my local newspaper endorses, but for local elections I care quite a lot. If you're in the Seattle area, try to support the Seattle Times or the Stranger; they have different political leanings and you may like one and hate the other, but they both do good work in researching candidates and ballot issues before coming up with endorsements.
my brokerage/bank now does what mint does - aggregate data from different accounts from different banks and brokerages.
Interesting. I have not heard this rule before (and I assume it's modified by the actual tax rate).

That said, unless the local real estate market is strong I don't think it makes sense as an investment to break even on the rent. It's a lot of headache and risk to bet on a >5%[1] average annual appreciation. I don't think that is a reasonable rate to expect in many (most?) real estate markets.

You can still see the opportunity, attempt to succeed, and fail, through no fault of your own. And conversely, you can do everything wrong and still succeed. There's a reason we have the term "failing upwards", or businesses that succeed not because of their actions, but in spite of them.

Chance is a substantial (but not the only) component to success.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a finance/budgeting app that's easy to use for splitting costs? My girlfriend and I don't have joined finances, but we do generally split everything down the middle. So most things are "I pay with my card, tally it up, then you Venmo me your half at the end of the month." I'm currently using YNAB and then split each relevant transaction, but it's very very tedious.
How would that betray you? They're supposed to verify that this ballot belongs to you in the first place.
I like Mint primarily for its aggregation of all of my accounts. There are some occasional hiccups but in general it works very well with that. Then I download transactions as a CSV file and reconcile them manually in a spreadsheet.

Are any products mentioned here more tailored to that use case? More about the transaction log and quick glance at assets/debts than the budgeting and charts?
