I essentially did that, however I'm taking out loans too. Although it's not because I need to. Also COVID basically gave me double subsidized loans so I'm currently in college at the right time.

But my story was simple. I got an associate's degree and worked a trash job for 2-3 years, living at home just saving. Then went back with a lot of cash. The cash was basically a massive emergency fund for me. Could I have saved time going to college instead? Sure but at that point in my life I wasnt sure yet even (at 24 I planned going back to school).

Overall what I would suggest is doing what I did if you don't know what you want to study. Being in debt for a degree that doesn't increase your salary is worse than being in a crappy job in the first place.
San Francisco neighborhoods did not want mall-like corporate chains at all, a few decades ago. The companies paid for the privelege and prevailed over time. Meanwhile economics changed and left a lot of people out of the benefits, wages for working people stayed even, and the pain-killer drugs and organized crime grew strong. Toxic cocktail to be sure, but SF has always been a cocktail town, from the early days. In some ways The City has reaped what it sowed, socially.
Yeah, the amusement is more being buzzed/circled by the jet in full landing condition until they can get an Apache out to you.

For context, Dave Ramsey is a popular radio/internet personality that gives financial advice and presumably helps people get out of debt. I've seen him pop up on my feed occasionally but never paid him much attention. Sounds like that was for the best.

I found a video that elaborates on some of the abuse:

HK resident here ... FireChat wasn't mainstream.
Ramseys financial advice is terrible for anyone who knows how to budget and pay bills on time. The worst is his investing advice which just boils down to getting an ira and 401k. He could at least plug vanguard as it’s a great option for retail investors.

Regarding debt... his debt snowball only works if there’s enough income to cover it and there are tons of examples where there isn’t. This means people spend every penny they earn paying off small loans only to eventually lose everything when they start on the larger ones.

The guy is just a radio personality.
Basically you can be decentralized at the wholesale level but not retail. Like the internet.
Why do you argue against something you don't want to take the time to understand? It's clear from you comment you didn't watch the video - even if you hadn't said so yourself. If you watch it you might both understand it better and have something interesting to add. I don't get why people comment on articles (and videos) they didn't look at.

Have you tried KORG Gadget? It's incredible and a solid DAW/virtual studio in its own right. Basically a killer app for the iPad, and it's also available for macOS.

All of KORG's music apps are fantastic, and basically reason enough to buy an iPad: Gadget, Module, ODYSSEi, iWavestation, iPolySix, iMS-20, iMono/Poly, iElectribe (and its Wave and Gorillaz variants), iKaossilator and iM1.

In addition to PC/Mac/iOS, KORG also has even ported several of its music apps to the Nintendo Switch and 3DS/DS. Definitely fun to make music on a gaming handheld.

KORG is one of my favorite music software/virtual instrument/plugin developers, hands down. And they've been on fire in terms of hardware synths over the past few years as well, both with new/affordable analog as well as classic reissues.

Yeah that 7% is likely an illusion. If we kept up 7% a year forever just about every professional could retire at 50. But its unlikely to continue, we've had a 50 year bull market that is long overdue to end.
> I'm sincerely curious why this seems so far fetched to you. If I were the CEO of a company having the option to nudge my researchers into this, I probably would, seen from a ethics-detached point of view.

Not the person you're responding to, but there are three main responses I can give:

1. By and large, for most of the food crops that we eat, what we are eating is itself the seed of the crop. Tinkering with the reproductive elements of the crop has a higher chance of screwing up desirable properties of the food part of the crop than, say, introducing resistance to glyphosate.

2. In a related topic, genetic engineering is rarely so competent as being able to do something like "prevent reproduction." Seeing genetic manipulation as being basically like designer babies is pure science fiction; the more complex the demand is, the further in the realm of speculative nonsense it is.

3. On a related topic, there's the impact it has on the production costs of seedcorn. The easiest (cheapest) way to make anything biological is to use natural biology to make it, not try to create it in vitro. If I'm designing seeds, I'd rather make a couple of seeds using the expensive in vitro steps, plant them in a plot for a few generations, and sell their offspring, instead of trying to sell all the seed designing it in vitro. Inhibiting natural reproduction inhibits this method of making the product.
This person clearly has a biased view about bitcoin ( as evident by their talk about and distain of the market and its "scammers", although we all hate scammers), so much so that they mix blockchain and bitcoin up. Blockchain technology has not failed in its task, and as to bitcoin failing, well I guess we will see.

It reads like someone just lost a lot of money in they recent dip and is venting.

For the record, There are other projects in the space that use less energy than bitcoin, like iota: https://howtobuyiota.co.uk/articles/how-energy-efficient-iot... - I read this article a while ago and full disclaimer, yes I invested.

There's silver epoxy but that's outrageously expensive.

Googling shows that you can add fine graphite powder to some kind of epoxy, to get something like that maybe.

Still glue is not super easy to control, and can't be used for fine traces. If the glue leaks across two pins, you can't just remelt it with a soldering iron.
Consider this: you are who you say you are. Eventually if you repeat it to yourself, subconsciously you'll find the patterns to make it work.

I am very careful of making statements like:

I am/was <adjective>.

It's like casting a spell on myself, and in my experience it works pretty well, so I've used it for positive transformation. If I'm bad at something, I can perceive it as a fluke, and continue as if I was whatever I desire to be. It's "fake it till you make it", but again, I don't like using the word "fake". I'm really just defining myself across time... I'm not faking so much as aligning my intentions with real world results.

So basically, I don't think the author was ever "weak" until he thought he was, and then it contributes to the reality of the situation. All those problems mentioned could have been solved while still thinking "I'm strong".
SES requires you to know what you’re doing with setup, etc - mailchimp et al hand-hold you through all that.
I somehow glanced over this, thanks for pointing it out. This definition suggests that "federated" is strictly equal to "decentralized", which is coincidentally not strictly in conflict with what I wrote (though a very unorthodox definition of federated, as it doesn't imply any federation).

Even so, IRC has no business in this list per the authors definition.
That's a really disappointing reaction you got. If I was interviewing someone who described having implemented a kernel or an assembler for fun I would be thrilled!
I feel administrators for EDUs (for example) know how to easily block all of sendgrid or mailchimp but don’t know how to block all of SES without blocking the Dean’s Amazon receipts.
When you put money in your bank account, where does it go? Who uses it? When you purchase shares, where do they come from? How many market makers were involved? How much profit did they make front-running your purchase?

All these things are currently completely opaque to the average person. Decentralized Finance fixes this. Every transaction and system you interact with is completely open source, transparent, and fair for everyone involved. There are no rich and powerful people taking a cut of your money every time you use the system, as it is in traditional finance.

You can see the exact code doing what you want done, and nobody can stop it doing that, or change the rules part way through (see: the Robinhood GME saga)

Traditionally the government set the rules, but the government can be corrupted. Most people know that wall street regularly breaks the law if the profit they make will be greater than `fines they pay * risk of getting caught`. Until now there was nothing we could do about this. Code can't be corrupted in the same way.

You’re free to argue that, but my guess is that Apple actually cares about customer satisfaction regardless of who you or anyone else decides to blame for any particular instance of dissatisfaction.
I also use a Trello board for this and I’ve known that there is a market for this. I’ve been thinking of switching to Notion to try that out as my solution.

That said, as I have been considering building something like this, I’ve imagined that it could provide some of the value that Glassdoor and Levels.fyi both provide.

In my Trello board I take notes about the salary bands of each position, what questions are asked in each interview, and also how I’m feeling about each. If this information is handled properly, you can collect it and (perhaps for the free version) share this anonymously with other people.

That said, one thing I’m missing from my Trello board is versatility. I want to be able to record/update my experience/interview status with a company and then see that information represented in several different ways. Seeing a swim lane representation of interview stages is helpful (where Trello shines) but it also might be helpful to see it in spreadsheet form where I can sort based on certain attributes. Sometimes things don’t fit well in swim lanes.

One thing I do like about Trello is that I can basically journal about my experiences there, though it would be nice to see all my journal entries together in one place, rather than being forced to see them separated by card.

>Using the Drug Exclusion Provision on CBD may have opened the door for the FDA to make similar claims against NAC, but there is still the question of timing. Why has the FDA chosen to target NAC now? In the past the provision was used inappropriately in three instances to protect the finances of pharmaceutical companies, and it is likely the motivation to ban NAC as a supplement has the same roots.

I'm sure the provision will be used inappropriately many times.
> If you're really in that situation, you should attend community college ... dropping out will only waste money

In what situation? The way your post reads comes across as vaguely resentful of people who aren't upper class.

Most high school graduates cannot afford university out of pocket. That doesn't mean that they need to lower their bar or that they're somehow at a higher risk of dropping out. Your comment is coming completely out of left field.
For what it's worth, they mentioned that the producers felt bullied.

It seems to me that, regardless of whether this was bullying or how individually kind and ethical they may be, Garfield and Gladstone's relationship - and possibly the larger culture of WYNC - was toxic to the point of being nonfunctional. Throwing Gladstone under the bus for something that seems to be bigger than him isn't the right thing to do, but the relationship probably had to be terminated one way or another.

There are plenty of differing qualities of parts, but they're not all official while some are the same.

If R2R were a thing in the US and parts were commonly-available, there wouldn't be a need for white-, gray-, and black- marketplaces. Sure, there could be lower-quality ones when someone wants to do it cheaper, like there are right now. The problem is the giant corporation locking-up the schematics, the tools, the guides, and the parts to be able to repair their shit at a sane cost and reasonable effort.
I'd imagine that it is satisfying, yes. But I think you may be underestimating how little other people will value your time in asking for help using that software. I have a colleague that maintains a popular open source project, and he spends a ridiculous amount of time answering questions about problems they're having, and very often those problems don't have anything to do with the software he's written, but the competence of the questioner. I had been considering developing a package, perhaps paid for with grant money, but the long term commitment that comes with it has scared me off.
Right!

Its a major problem to all the hype around crypto - it relies on a centralized internet infrastructure.
Does it need to be centralized vs decentralized?

The human organism is (IMO) an awesome demonstration of both centralization and decentralization. As is the little blue speck we call our home biome.

What I might accept is that proponents of both arguments ("we need more centralization so we can provide a better service" vs "we need more decentralization so we have the freedom to evolve better services") ideally come to realize that there's a yen and a yang to the whole thing. That there's a lack of healthy balance/harmony between the two is a pretty easy argument to make now days.
For a second I thought you were describing Silicon Valley and startup equity.

I completely agree, making money writing software is so convoluted. Like, why can't I submit my work to a publisher like all the other authors do? Where are the software publishing companies? Instead, we're expected to also come up with a business model around our software. Then, surprise, you find yourself not really writing software anymore because all of your energy is spent running this business thing you set up just so you could support yourself so you could be a soft..ware...writer. oops. It's a bummer man. Like, yeah, you probably shouldn't have used the MIT license, but like, we have to be lawyers too now? GD.

> Child care is crazy expensive if you have two working parents with full time jobs.

Childcare is expensive, but it's still a fraction of the after-tax compensation of most professional jobs. Recent tax changes have made it even more affordable.

> Most schools or day cares let out around three. If you normally get home between six and seven like most people do then you still need to figure out a few hours of care which means hiring someone.

Every daycare we toured was open until 5-6PM. I don't know anyone who hires additional help for a couple hours in the afternoon. If you're in tech, it's not hard to find a job that allows both parents to stagger their working hours so that one can pick them up.

Around here, it's very common for parents of young children to come into the office early and leave early to pick up kids. It's a common practice and plenty of companies support it.

> So unless you have family nearby who help you raise kids, it can cost a fortune.

Again, this hasn't been my experience nor that of any of my parent friends. Also keep in mind that kids grow up fast and daycare isn't something you need to do forever.

Frankly, most non-parents I know have vastly overestimated how expensive and painful it is to raise kids. This is especially true of those who grew up reading Reddit, where angry /r/childfree posts used to hit the front page with regularity.
Frankly I'd be more interested where you could print resistors, diodes, and transistors on plastic.

OLED manufacturers are apparently working on roll-to-roll printing on a plastic substrate.

> I've wondered, if the SMPS circuit in the 5W apple adapters be scaled up to 600~800W would they be enormous and/or less efficient? Because it seems like the circuits in this board are either designed for higher power so big honkin' coils & caps are necessary, or are they that big (and inefficient) in order to save money?

All power supplies of a few hundred watts will look broadly the same as this one. The rare exceptions are very expensive AC/DC modules[0], and linear power supplies used mostly in higher-end audio and test equipment.

There are a number of factors that influence the designs that are practical for different power outputs but a big one is the gate charge of the switching transistor. Bigger output power requires a bigger switching transistor which stores more charge in its gate. This requires more energy from the controller to charge and discharge the gate and more concern about the ohmic losses in the transistor as its transitioning from being on to being off. This limits the switching frequency you can practically use. Lower switching frequency means larger transformer; you need more iron to take the magnetic field so it doesn't saturate on the larger slower pulses.

Note also that with more power almost every component needs to be larger. Also note that standard PC supplies need to supply many voltage rails while the classic Apple 5W adapter only needs one. With newer standards like ATX12VO the supply only supplies 12V and 12V standby.

Disclaimer, I haven't played soccer in 15 years, but I've played some and watched a lot :)

It is actually pretty hard to miss the box on the penalty kick if you are aiming at the box, as opposed to e.g. aiming for the bottom left corner. Then, (given ~equal skill levels) it is pretty much impossible to react to a strong penalty kick and still have time to dive, given the speed and distance - that's why many goalkeepers guess; the stronger the kick, the harder to react. And, as far as I could tell many players have obvious generic "tells" based on how their body, foot etc. align, and especially where they look before and during the run, so that improved guessing. So the best strategy is a strong kick, and deciding the general direction randomly at the last moment. Note how many penalty kicks on the highest levels of play go straight down the middle of the goal, with the goalkeeper diving away from what might seem like an "easy" one to deflect.
But if you do something clever and aim, then you are more likely to make the kick weaker, miss, or allow the goalkeeper to guess your plan.
