I thought specifically one benefit of an IRP was that they had official Apple inventory on hand like screens and batteries without resorting to grey market stripped/scavenged parts. Is that not the case?
Keep your car(s) topped up during impending emergencies, regardless of fuel type.
As long as removing the key starts your screen locker and inserting kills it you'll fallback to typing your password. Though that could be hard if all you usb ports have suddenly all died at the same time.
Yeah. So your investment has increased by 5k in the first 10 years. You only contributed $100 a month, which is doable for a lot of people, and go 5k for 'free'. In 20 years, it will have grown by 30k on top of your contributions. Again, assuming you never adjust your contributions.

Try the same calculation, but now with $500 a month.

Although 8% is optimistic, compound interest is really powerful.

It is indeed difficult to get ahead if you are paycheck to paycheck. It can be impossible if you can't even pay for your basic necessities.

But many people are not in that situation. They buy stuff they don't need. They buy new cars on credit - which is a depreciating asset with interest. They buy phones they also don't need - sometimes in multiple installments too.

Instead, try throwing anything extra you can scrape in investments. If you are aggressive about it, you can retire much earlier than you would be able to, normally.
Awesome service and app.

The nuance here was there a fair number of bad players in this space and abuse was not uncommon. Ie, "ratings" apps that were not really ratings / user reviews were bogus / paid for etc.

Apple has a fair bit of visability into app store reviews (ie, did users actually install apps). That said, STILL lots of fakes on app store itself in terms of reviews, so in the end I think your app was actually the BETTER solution (curated lists meant you didn't have the app review spam problem, some ethics means you hopefully didn't push the adware type apps).

So yeah, apple screwed up. I do wish you could filter app reviews by verified in-country users (ie, apple uses the gps of the device and icloud account length / other verifications) to weed out the crappy reviews. If you look you can see where people "buy" their reviews (lumps of all 5 star reviews with min content length).

> If you don't want to install a third-party app store, then don't

I've been seeing this argument a lot and it makes the assumption that allowing alternative app stores has no impact on people who choose not to use them. I don't think this is true.

An app developer may decide to only list their app on an alternative store because they pay lower fees and they can handle payments themselves. As a user you now need to choose between not using the app or giving your credit card information to the app developer you may not trust.

If you get value out of the current App Store rules, like the person you replied to, then there is absolutely a cost to allowing alternative stores.
I'd so glad it was helpful. Every child is differently and I'd be happy to help you out with some more personalized recommendations as well.
> you are forced to let apple audit you at any time, you have to share personal client data on all of your clients with apple

I assume they want to be able to confirm the shops aren't also buying counterfeit Chinese components on the side and swapping them in for the genuine ones.

I also assume they want the repair information to feed into their tracking of the history of the device, as it can affect warranty, AppleCare, whether Apple is willing to service the device in the future, etc.

I don't know the details, but can you point to specifics (actual text) that seem unreasonable, or that don't make economic sense? Also remember that with franchises, repair shops, etc., agreements commonly give the franchiser/manufacturer tremendous power. They don't need it in normal cases, but it's reserved to be able to act against "badly behaving" companies trying to cut corners, falsify records, etc.

Not sure what the equivalent is outside the UK, but A Levels are the exams at the end of school and used to determine of you have the necessary grade for university. If you don't get the required grades, you don't go to university.

The problem is that due to lockdown, no one sat the exams. So they kind of guessed what the grades should be based on predicted grades from teachers or the grades assigned by mock exams. However, those awarding the grades felt that predicted grades were too optimistic and there is no standardisation for mock exams between subjects at the same school, let alone multiple schools across the country.

What the exam boards seem to have done (and I don't think they've admitted to this) is moderate the grades based on past results from the school. However, schools in poorer areas traditionally do worse, so students in those areas lost anywhere from 1 to 3 grades, e.g. an A becomes a D. This includes students that never had a D at any point in the past. So then the government said students could appeal. Then they said exam grades would be adjusted back to no lower than their predicted grades. Or they could resit them once lockdown ended.

Meanwhile university places are filling up based on the first set of grades. Some universities are doing better, notably one of the Oxford colleges who decided to honour all offers made on the basis that they have no new information to change their offer on. But those that didn't apply to these universities have to go through clearing but still don't know what their grades are. Universities need to confirm places for accomodation which is also filling up fast.

To call it a catastrophe isn't far off the mark.

Betterment is easy but if you have more than a few thousand bucks to invest I would just open a Vanguard account and put your money there. If you have no idea what you're doing just use a target date fund, otherwise just buy stock/bond ETFs in the mix that you want. Not worth ~0.4%/year in fees (doesn't sound like a lot until you realize it's $400/year on $100K) to have someone else do that for you.

No. The system aimed for no nationwide grade inflation. When it then took a number of private school’s predictions at face value (no alteration if you paid for a small class size), meaning fewer high grades available for other schools. So lots of state schools had across the board drops from previous years.
> Absolutely agreed, but consider what would happen if only one of those game stores you mention were allowed to be installed on your gaming PC.

That is how it was several years back with Steam and everything was just fine. The new stores that popped up are, with the exception of GoG and Itch.io, in the service of large companies.

I don't have ADHD, but since I started WFH I've been having ups and downs in terms of productivity, including a period of a few weeks where I was getting about 2-3 hours of work done per day at most like you describe. I don't know details about what your situation is like, but here's what I did that helps me at least most of the time.

I have my desk/office in a a room that was a storage room/unused office. I ended up removing anything from that room that I found myself doing instead of work: keep my phone in another room, delete bookmarks to blogs/news sites, move my stack of unread books into a different room, etc. Basically I got to a point where if I was sitting in that room, there was nothing to do but work.

The other thing I did was start framing tasks in terms of "doing this will make my life easier tomorrow" rather than thinking about later deadlines or the "big picture" of the project. E.g. "I can't get myself to audit all of these documents today, but if I set up the spreadsheet template it will make my life easier tomorrow." Sometimes when I start something like that I find it leads naturally into doing the actual task, but sometimes not. In those situations, as others have mentioned, it's important to have some self-compassion and try not get caught up in feelings of guilt. I started using an app called Woebot that can help with this. When you tell it you are depressed/anxious/guilty, it helps you look for ways to reframe those thoughts to be more productive.

Also, I have heard of studies that say the average employee is productive for 3-4 hours a day. Consider if you are actually getting less done or if your productive hours are just distributed differently. In an office where you get interrupted regularly it might be more evenly distributed throughout the day compared to if you have the opportunity at home to burn through those hours all in one chunk.
Allowing "unreachable" unsigned data to be appended to a MSI isn't really a threat in and of itself, since the data shouldn't be reachable from any of the valid parts of the file. I could easily see some tools appending their own metadata to the end of the file and thus actually relying on such modification not invalidating the signature.

I would not be surprised if part of the delay fixing this involved MS finding out early on that a major user of MSI files was actually relying on this (perhaps some installer creation tool or AV scanner?) and decided that the user needed to fix their product and distribute the fixed version before a Windows patch was viable.
Well, we have a large house, and we homeschool, so we don't have your set of problems at all.

But our youngest is a senior in high school this year. She's taking some dual-enrollment classes, but they're online-only. If she were a year older, and looking at going to college this fall... I don't know what we'd do. I guess we'd be restricted to schools that are within commuting distance, because we'd have no confidence that they wouldn't go remote-only at the drop of a hat.

Tell us how well Betterment did for you.

I highly doubt it beats S&P 500 so you can do better by using Robinhood and invest into S&P 500 tracking stock like IVV. And the risk is more or less the same. It's not like Betterment would do well if S&P 500 tanks.

I used Wealthfront for a while and I switched to trading stocks.

The idea of roboadvisor sounded nice but their returns are sub-par because their allocation strategy is, by necessity, very risk averse. They put a lot of your money into bonds and similar sub-2% investements while in the last 50 years S&P returned 8% on average.

That 8% return is about as risk free as you can get and paying Betterment fees to do worse than that makes no sense to me.

BTW: if you invest in FAANGT (FAANG + Tesla) equal-weight portfolio, you'll do several times better than S&P 500 with very little risk. At lest for the next few years.

The volume expands as it heats, so it's not a given that the diameter (gauge) goes down. But the length is longer and that does increase the total resistance.
There is some irony here though, no? For example, if Apple is the only market-place in the country, and rules keep it open and free and available, then there is no need for a 2nd market-place: we've forced Apples to be how we want.

If Apple was allowed to make stupid mistakes like making it very hard to develop Unreal Engine games for iOS, or being jerks in general, then there would be much more justification for building a 2nd market or switching to a 2nd market.

I'm not pitching for no regulation, but the unintended side-effects of force Apple to play well with others is that there is now _no need_ for a competitor who is more open...
Smart watches. They will do everything that a smart phone can do today minus the display and camera. When you need a display or keyboard, you will walk up to a work station which is literally nothing more than a display and keyboard that connects to your watch via Bluetooth. The watches CPU and storage is the primary compute resource. The smart watch will also be used to authenticate you. Three factor authentication will be the norm: watch, PIN, and thumbprint.

In Windows world, you can just pick a new certificate vendor. In Apple world, they have a monopoly and get to dictate who gets 'full access' to both their mobile devices and their desktops/laptops. They could still do unsigned MacOS apps from here out, but Apple has purposely made it difficult for end users to run them.

Until Robinhood came along I thought transaction fee was how brokerages make money. It really was a surprise to me when these guys made it zero. I still don't understand how they make money though.

On a different note, I don't think they are in anyway different from the other brokerages, the only reason these guys became popular is because of the zero transaction fee trick. It was a good one but there might not be more tricks left for new entrants. The software is written from scratch in 2018/19 so obviously it will take the shape of that time, nothing great about that.

This article misses the point entirely.

It's true that most cattle farms are on the small-end, and have plenty of land for their cattle.

It's also true that the vast majority of cows slaughtered for meat come from just a few industrial feedlots.

Changing the way that "most" farms work might change how much methane truth A cows produce, but the vast majority of cows are truth B cows that aren't impacted by the decisions of small-time farmers.

There is not enough land on this earth to allow for free-range cattle at the rate humans consume them. The solution isn't to do it more efficiently, but to stop and do something else. Ford said people would ask for faster horses, and 100 years later we have people wanting cows that fart differently.

It's the cheeseburger you want, not another magic chemical added to the lovecraftian nightmare that is factory farming. The way to reduce the impact cows have on the environment is to reduce the number of cows bred for food.
That's more or less what one of the Oxford colleges did. They realised all grades were guesses and that the information they had when offers were made had not changed quantifiably. So they let all existing offers stand regardless of what grades students were assigned.

I think it's a shame this was the exception rather than the norm.
Turnout can be pretty low in city elections, so the cranks may not represent their constituents, but be overrepresented among voters.

The ego-death experience that meditation usually leads you to also strongly seeds the feeling that other consciousness are "unreachable" and therefore should be left as alone as possible while it reaches it's own enlightenment. I think it's a very narrow view of a richer theory like Jungian individuation.

That being said you can have a non-nihilistic ego-death or medidate only until your more intrusive thoughts "go away" without you loosing your complete identity, that's kind of like a scientific fact. Of course if you get "addicted" to it or start chasing the "ego-death" experience it can be harmful.
