Do you do any sort of financial planning for retirement? What you've got going for yourselves seems like it's working for you, but curious to know hat would happen if the "tech salary" were to stop.
Yeah I bailed on Quicken about 5 years ago and never looked back. Using GnuCash now, and it’s awesome because I can store the data in a local Postgres database and do whatever I want with it.
You forgot bitcoin. Lots of bitcoin on the side. That way you can retire in peace.
Damn this subject is extremely touchy. I remember recently on the r/dataset subreddit, there was an image set that was essentially a set of pornography images. I remember thinking okay there could be a useful image type classification project in here. Then I started noticing some CLEAR ambiguities in the age of the subjects, I made a post on the thread and was told to basically shut the fuck up and I was making something of nothing.

Apparently I also don't take this shit lightly, because immediately reported that shit. All of this to say, prior to this experience I was under the impression that people should be allowed to study / research datasets of questionable morality / ethics but was completely naive and idealistic around researchers being completely benevolent.

I respect much more the ethical hoops required to study/research this type of material and I think other researchers ought to also respect them.
Some years ago I was learning Ruby on Rails with the book 'Agile Web Development with Rails', that was a project-based book, and it seems to be released with an update for the recent versions of Rails.
I think there may have been an international gentleman's agreement about not putting external cameras on civil transport aircraft.

It may have been more of a Cold War thing, but I seem to remember running into that in a book at some point that there was a tacit agreement to not do that in the interest of not turning civil transport aircraft into mass produced intelligence gathering platforms, therefore in theory rendering them completely neutral in reference to needing to be taken into account in international sales/intelligence gathering.

I may be completely wrong or misinformed on that though; or the info may have been valid, but hasn't aged well taking into account how capabilities have evolved.
I think an event based system can apply to a wide variety of domains, but that the consequences need to be understood up front. This means doing things differently than the traditional top down controller approach with synchronous responses.

For example, an asynchronous API should have a way of pushing notifications to the caller, and the caller then has a way of processing these returns.
I thought it was just me. HSBC is by far the worst customer technical experience of any financial produce/service I've ever encountered. You really have to try to be that bad.
I have tried using YNAB and Mint for managing my finances/budgeting but have come away disappointed. Currently I use a spreadsheet to budget the current year.

I have been thinking about writing an app to do the things like YNAB/Mint but better.

Would you like to see something like this?
Would you pay for an app like this?
What are some of the things you would like the app to do?
The key difference is that decrypting something would likely need to be targeted and on a case-by-case basis, as it would take specialized work, as opposed to these sorts of attacks (much like tapping all of the pipes which transit data underseas or elsewhere, which still goes on in every country or working directly with the ISPs and mobile operators which happens in most countries) which allows mass dragnet surveillance.

I think most of us would be fine with the NSA doing what they do if it was targeted, like the police getting warrants to break privacy only in important cases for public safety.

The problem will always be mass interception. Not only domestically either, as there is nothing protecting any foreign communications being intercepted in the US (and I'm sure Five eyes+ bypasses these legal roadblocks whenever needed). Which is why the push for encrypt-everything is so important. But as we've seen repeatedly, even when investigating the president and his people, even the allegedly "significant domestic protections" offered by FISA are a joke and basically rubber-stamp.

WhatsApp and iMessage and other non-SMS communication as well as email providers finally adopting proper transit encryption probably has reduced the amount of this sort of unfiltered "intelligence" gathering by 90%+. But I'm sure there's still tons of mobile apps and websites which aren't doing things properly and are filling up their databases.
What would it take to recreate R's tidyverse in Python?
AFAIK Clojurians doing some interesting stuff in that space. They've figured out Python Interop, writing books on Deep learning, Linear Algebra, etc. all that in Clojure.

> The referendum was almost 4 years ago and only last year they were talking about expanding.

Last year it looked like Brexit might quietly just never happen.
I use mint and a google docs sheet. Mint has some issues with investment accounts (as others have noted) but it is great at tracking expenses over time. Mint really works better if you use credit cards however.

I then take a look at my family's annual spending in mint from the previous year to help out together a new budget. It can be hard to predict some big things like home repairs, but overall I find using actual expenses keeps me honest about our spending.
If they believed their business would make them money in the UK, filing paperwork wouldn't be an issue.
I am in the UK, I know all about Brexit and British politics ad nauseam.

The point remains that this isn't the key reason behind their decision. I guess it's easier to blame Brexit than to explain to your customers that you're closing their accounts because of good old business.

They launched in the UK after the Brexit referendum and they don't even need that bank licence to offer electronic current accounts in the UK (Revolut did that for 3 years and their current bank licence is also an EU one so may also become useless in the UK).
Retraining as a Response to Automation – Promising, but Only If Done Right
Well, it's not cumbersome at all. The problem is really lack of real documentation and most importantly real world examples; About the performance, if you use the real scripting support for Roslyn , yeah, I think you'll have bad performance. But if you compile the code to memory at runtime and execute it like I did, it's pretty fast;
A big difference is that they reach a lot more plays since there are platforms like Spotify, compared to when you had to buy the album.
The Rise of Content Cartels
Both of you sound silly. There is no meritocracy nor equality. People get what they get because they have something that somebody else wants: knowledge, skills, connections, whatever. How did they get it? I don’t know. Maybe by hard work, maybe by ingenuity, maybe by risk, maybe by birth, maybe by luck, maybe by theft, maybe by deceit. None of those things are or can be or ever will be equally-distributed.

I personally think that a society that encourages the first two tends to work out better than some of the others, but still probably unrealistic.
This is disingenuous. Social security has multiple components, but the main one people think of is called "OASDI", and is a government-run retirement program, not a social safety net. It's paid for by individuals over their working careers through a separate tax (called FICA), and then when retired, they draw out of it, based on what they contributed. Someone who contributes nothing to SS gets nothing out of it, while someone with a high income gets a relatively large pension check. It's not helping the poor much at all. It's just a guaranteed but generally poor-return investment that's mandatory for all working adults.

There are some other components administered by the same agency, including TANF, SCHIP, and Medicare, so yes there is some safety net there, but relative to other western countries it's rather poor. If it weren't, we wouldn't have so many homeless people. America is NOT like western European nations.

My Twisbi has never dried out, so I'm not sure. I clean it maybe every 3-4 months with cold tap water, usually whenever I want to switch colors. My rough understanding is that Noodler's ink becomes permanent because of a reaction with the cellulose in the paper -- it shouldn't have the same reaction to metals or plastics. I'm not super-up-to-date with the mechanics, so don't quote me on that. But regardless, I've never had any difficulty getting residue out of the pen.

Certainly if you spill it on your clothes, there is probably nothing reasonable you can do to ever get rid of that stain. Presumably that's the desired effect from a waterproof ink anyway though -- you don't want it to be removable.
Tab Session Manager is a WebExtension. I'm not familiar enough with the others to know what's missing and can't be replicated, but session management is alive and well.
Regulations are not a single homogeneous entity. They could remove 5% or 95% of EU regulations and have kept their promise as long as the changes where a noticeable net positive.
this is terrible advice. They should put it all on red.
I am wondering if Revolut would follow the course as well?
This is the exact problem that my company is trying to answer. There's no shortage of budgeting apps, but the real problem is addressing how people think about money, and how they learn and balance different goals they might achieve. So many educational resources, guides, and "suggestions" come from companies that offer (and profit off providing) the financial services they recommend.

> Under these circumstances it is impossible to run a business like N26 in the UK serving the EU.

you have this the wrong way round: they are a bank based in the EU that was passporting their German (EU) license into the UK

in the near future they will not be permitted to operate in the UK as the UK will no longer accept their EU banking license
Well in my case, my depression/anxiety was partly (largely?) environmental. Two things really helped me, the tryptophan-serotonin connection:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4728667/

And that I had low thyroid function because I work out heavily but don't add salt to anything, and processed food doesn't generally contain iodine. So I began taking this last week:

https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Supplements-EnergyTM-Tyrosine-Sel...

I can literally say that when I started eating bacon and ham again (I gave up pork 20 years ago for ethical reasons) that my mood went from 3 to 5 within a few days, and when I began taking iodine, it went from 5 to 7. Note that these symptoms are similar to what vegetarians and vegans encounter after about 3 years without active effort to maintain their nutrition. I hit it because I had doubled my calories for the gym, but not tryptophan or iodine specifically.

Keep in mind that I also did the work of exploring ADHD, executive dysfunction, the impossible task and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for pretty much the last year.

So without medication, the answer is holistic. Fixing nutritional gaps might boost mood 20-40%, then each mental adjustment might add 10%.

I'll know that the orbit at 7 is stable once my income stabilizes and I have a consistent track record of having few negative thoughts for some number of weeks or months. But so far so good.
I hope OP means something like I don't go to bars. Alcohol in a place that encourages you to stay around for a while is what passes for socialize to a large number of people.

There are plenty of other social things you can do in life, but I've noticed that there is a crowd where none of them count. Either you sit in your favorite bar and talk, or you don't socialize. My time spent camping with friends is interesting, but it doesn't count even though we spent plenty of time around the campfire (just to name one activity I do)
I mostly agree with the 'waste of time' except... I did work one place where it was expected that you'd update docs/wikis/etc, and that was part of the deliverable. It wasn't perfect, and there was always some stuff that was out of date, but when you found something out of date, you were expected to confirm it and update the doc as 'out of date' - ideally link to the updated page if it was possible.

This was not a perfect system - nothing is - but the culture of the group just baked this behavior in to the timeline for 'done'. When the majority of people had that expectation, it seemed to work decently. In 25 years of professional work, that's the only place I can remember seeing it done that disciplined. And... they were only around 100 folks total - not sure it could necessarily scale as they grew.

There's a fun book called We Swam the Grand Canyon. Near the beginning of the book, the author writes about how they were sleeping in a tent the night before they started out and then were awaked by the light, sound, and ground motion of an atomic explosion.
It played out that way in every country that adopted the steam engine, and failed to happen at all in countries that did not.

As I say, the historical evidence is as compelling as it gets.
I created a spreadsheet to keep track of my expenses, income, assets, etc. On the last day of every month I record the current balance in each of my major financial accounts (takes ~1 hour), giving me a nice view of my inflows and outflows, and net assets.

In terms of where I store money, I:

* keep an emergency fund in a checking account with 6x my monthly spending

* keep the rest in broad market index funds, currently 10% bonds, 35% international funds, 65% us funds. I put the maximum amount allowed into tax advantaged accounts (401k and roth ira), and the rest into a taxable account
SEPA transfers in Germany are both free and instant too. Not saying it's not a slow and manually run industry in general, but I have nothing to complain about transactions.
I agree with your conclusion but for me personally, I am afraid of spending even though I have money to spend. And when I do spend the money, it gives me a lot of anxiety.

I started keeping track of my budget so I can comfortably spend without the stress.
N26 just launched in the US, also. If their UK launch was anything like their US launch, I can see why. They made a lot of promises about how much better they'd be, but their offering is terrible compared to the competition here.

> There is no single guideline on when to block somebody—some may only support blocking trolls, and refrain from blocking other scientists who may be critical, while others believe it’s perfectly fine to mute or block any account...

Who is the target audience of a text like this? Do people feel they need someone's permission to block someone, or to skip Twitter for a while, or to write in whichever language they please? Honestly!

Started using YNAB almost a month ago, and I love it. I had previously tried Mint (terribly frustrating for all the promise it has, but it’s been left to wither) and my own spreadsheets. YNAB solves several pain points I had - budgeting for non-monthly recurring expenses was a big one.

Past that, I use a great credit union for liquid cash and mostly liquid emergency fund. The later we have pegged at 6 months of burn. Investments are across a couple institutions and consist of Roth IRAs and 401k stuff - that all goes in index funds.
The problem with this argument is that Boeing hasn't produced any innovation lately that I can see, while their much smaller competitor, SpaceX, is the one that came up with reusable rockets that can land themselves.

Things were really different back in the days of Bell Labs when those inventions were made (another example is Xerox and PARC). Companies like those invested heavily in R&D; long-term stability and profitability was more important than next-quarter returns. This just isn't the case in America any more.
I don't think this is a good idea:

In fact, the Feedback settings slider lets you decide how much you want to share with KDE developers.

We tend to keep it pretty simple.

1) We don't do debt. Certainly not for consumption purposes; we avoid it for capital purposes. We have a mortgage, but we saved and paid cash for the last car we bought; we might take a loan for a car... but even then we know the return we expect to get on the car would far out-weight the cost of the loan for the kind of car we'd entertain buying. A loan for education? Not unless a conservative expected rate of return justifies the debt: and I don't mean over a lifetime... but more like a decade.

2) A follow on to 1... We will avoid savings/investing (except for a very liquid, minimal emergency fund) if there is debt we can pay off early. Retirement savings are an exception because of tax law considerations. Our mortgage is low interest, and we might do better investing that money... but we might not and I know how much we save if we kill the mortgage early.

3) Don't spend what you don't have. Do your damnedest to not spend what you do have. Much of this goes back to 1. Many people create a budget as a means to give themself permission for otherwise unregulated spending on consumption goods... they'll budget a bit for savings and a bit for necessities... you know what's fair and "rational". But everything else is fair game and their budget, if they keep it, removes the guilt of what to me would look like over-spending. The default should be don't spend and justify each purchase. Yes, sometimes leisure is a worthwhile investment into yourself/family: but think through those decisions and alternatives that achieve the goal of leisure, but not at the cost.

Aside from that we use off the shelf software for tracking; but tools really are a minor consideration compared to having a healthy attitude to money and spending. We don't produce budgets because our default thinking is healthy. We do plan, but chiefly we just don't spend so that when crap does crop up we have the resources... or don't have the threats (debt)... as a default position rather than let-lose-spending with a minimum planned savings.

Note that none of this is investment advice. We're terrible at that side of the equation so I wouldn't offer it: but the first step is don't spend first what you might invest.... then you can worry what to do with your capital.

Finally... none of this comes from an philosophical anti-materialism or anything of the sort. It's all just being responsible for ourselves and our financial health.
Elastic Stack 7.6.0 Released
Yeah, the closest .NET equivalent is Binding Redirection hell, and NuGet and Visual Studio and .NET Core have spent years of work making that better than it was at its worst in the early NuGet days. There's a couple of low level APIs that are still annoying problems to redirect if you need to support particular sets of .NET Framework and .NET Core, but beyond that a lot of it is managed for developers automatically these days.

It's really amazing to see the mental gymnastics going on here to try and paint the people born into poverty as those with a broken culture, no ambition and being a net drain on society.

I was one of those people born into poverty. Your post is remarkably ignorant of the circumstances we faced and dealt with, and why cheap entertainment is used as an escape from the crushing levels of bullshit we had to deal with on a daily basis.

For someone who says to put yourself into the shoes of the poor, you could do with a reality check yourself.
Boeing didn't provide any information on their ground displays for this particular clock, meaning that ground didn't have any way of verifying this with a checklist. It's a value that should have been properly telemetered and displayed, but was not. Don't knock JSC mission control, they're extremely professional and don't make silly mistakes like that.
