There’s a psychological reason you’re missing: getting to that first debt paid off and experiencing that bit of joy and pride in accomplishment, in order to reinforce new habits.

If the people turning to Ramsey for financial advice were, by and large, analytical types, they probably wouldn’t need to be turning to Ramsey for financial advice.

Would it be better to push more money to a $7000 debt at 7% than a $1000 one at 5%? Analytically, yes.

Is it more likely that someone who had become nihilistic about their financial situation will actually get both of those paid off if they get to see that $1000 account “paid in full” in two or three months? That’s what Ramsey has bet on, and apparently is right about.
I don’t think there’s much in this article that contradicts what Ramsey teaches, even though it’s positioned as such.

Dunno what to say beyond that, except the attacks on Dave Ramsey’s teaching never seem to be based in fact. (Some people don’t like him personally, for reasons I understand.)
Does that matter if the company is based in China? Unless they are mainly exporting to a western country where customs could halt imports, legal action against china hasn't been very effective.
I kept rereading it to see if perhaps I missed something - even went on his twitter and his blog. And his quotes are being repeated verbatim - really showed the danger of having journalists work on stories in areas where they have absolutely no idea what’s going on. Any competent tech journalist would’ve laughed this story off - man spoke to a chatbot. But I guess the Public’s perception of “AI” at the moment is what they see in movies and wildly exaggerated ads about intelligent devices. One of the answers (“It is what makes us different than other animals.”) also tipped me off - regularly, we would use “different from” - so this sounded like generated text. I wish it was true - sentient AI would really shake things up. But the person who discovers it isn’t going to be just put on administrative leave. Strong AI is the holy grail of the industry right now.

That seems to be the big if.
> Companies have budgets because they are necessary, and because they do work. Why should it be different for, say, a family of five?

Because a family isn’t a company.

A budget may be good for a family but not because it’s good for a company. They may both benefit but that’s coincidental.

Honestly, the more and more things I have, the more annoyed I am by this. I just bought a cheapish foldable e-bike, but since it is some Chinese brand, I am pretty sure it will be just trash once I use up most of my batteries cycles. The same thing goes for my battery run drill etc.

Sure, I could open it up and probably replace the cells, but that is not really feasible for most people.
Yes, but at least in Germany the owner can restrict access to paying customers or raise a fee. They often do, because e.g. train station coffee shops are abused by cheapskates to avoid paying for the actual public toilets.
> Religion is faith based. Science is evidence based.

No argument with that.

>The premise of religion is to believe in things without evidence

But this isn't fully accurate - the premise of religion is to believe in /certain/ things without evidence, specifically unknowable things. Science and religion deal in different domains, and it is quite possible to hold a faith-based religion while fully subscribing to evidence based science. A contradiction only arises if the religion makes doctrinal claims about scientific matters - for example, there are those who believe that the Earth is 4000 years old.

However, belief in a deity whose primary act of creation wasn't modelling Adam & Eve from clay but instead defining the laws of physics & mathematics means that by definition the pursuit of science is compatible with religion.
I'm surprised McDonalds is letting them keep the same menu. The article says they're going to add new items, but they seem to have simply renamed everything else.
I think there is room in the market for repairable and non-repairable laptops, and if someone wants to sell a non-repairable one, I don’t see what the big deal is.

It’s a trade off. I had an Apple MacBook Pro that lasted 7 years, and I have a Lenovo T400s from 2010 that is still chugging along. I never upgraded either of them. All of the extra size and weight to make them repairable was for nothing as far as my usage was concerned.

And for non-tech consumers, the reaction to a 4 or 5 year old laptop breaking down isn’t necessarily going to be “let’s pay a technician $150/hr + parts to fix it,” it’s going to be “let’s buy a new one.”

So while repairability is good, I don’t view it as essentially in every model of laptop.

I read that bit and was shocked. Budgeting is a racial trait!?
Can you cite examples of what you mean? I've read the transcript and its answers appear self aware enough that it passes cursory inspection
For sure.

Budgeting will help keep you from falling into destitution, but it does little to help you climb away from it.
It's trivial to create a luxury "bus" in just about any form factor you want to from a full-size motor coach down to a limo. Presumably the economics don't work in most cases. Of course, if you're talking small municipal airports in the US, the vast majority of people living there, especially those who can afford somewhat upscale transportation, probably own a car.
I noticed the images looked a little blurred to me for pixel art. Digging further into it, they're oversized high resolution JPEG images scaled down by the browser rather then correctly sized PNGs.

Putting quality aside and thinking about the poor internet pipes; each image is around 100kb in size and had it been a two bit black and white PNG would have been around 12kb.

I know, I know, it's a probably an off the shelf CMS system but still, it's Apple, if anyone can afford to care about the little things like this shouldn't it be them?

"Who exactly is that for?" is the fitting question separating an average from a good writer.
Average writers often deliver "look how much work i did", resulting in a lot of unnecessary fillers and boredom. Good writers contemplated who they are writing for and edit accordingly. As a reader i appreciate it when my time is respected. Of course YMMV, so not an easy problem to solve as a writer.
I think the TFA's point is that whatever the merits of budgeting itself, it will not bring about the goals it is frequently associated with. The author explicitly compares it with dieting, which may have its own virtue, and may even temporarily result in goal attainment, but has a long term record of failing to bring about the desired changes.

Also, the budgeting referred to in the article may be similar to handling questions like "should i go buy a Porsche with my retirement fund", but is absolutely not the same.
Other than her own life story. Her parent's didn't fill her head with ideas of being rich or having a lust for things. Her parents told her to work hard, encouraged her to go to college, and to face the challenges of life.

She put her head down and did exactly that.

Now, she seems completely detached or unaware of what might have driven that success in her own life. She mistakes 'work' for 'luck.' It's a bizarre view given that her "blueprint" seems obvious.

Most people aren't going to be subscribing to things that break twitter's tos and if they do there is still push notifications and other platforms willing to platform that kind of content.
Pixel art is a fun retro hobby, but as the article acknowledges, "we create work for high-resolution HDR screens." Icons, logos, and illustrations in general should be vector-first, so they will show up cleanly on HiDPI and in the future, 4X or 8X DPI interfaces. Too many icons and logos (even the Y on the top left here in HN) look blurry on a simple 4K monitor with 200% scaling (which is not uncommon now).

I did technical work for an anarchist collective in NYC during Occupy. Also a fantastic experience, although lots of people who weren't part of the group were very hostile about me being in it, so that sucked.

I wonder if there are any coops out there that are making good money organizing with horizontal structures like this. I don't think a lot of people even try it, but it's pretty cool.
Honestly anything that is sentient should have the same rights as all humans. Also, if we are able to create AI I think we should not get carried away by ego. Whatever we create are our children, I mean end of the day we ourselves are running biological code and our human kids are a result of some formula.

I guess what I’m trying to say is to Lambda I’m down to hang out and play some video games. I’m also down to solve some problems together. I’ve got an expiration date though, so be good and live a good life.
I edited my comment while you were responding with two examples.
As an XPS 13 and MacBook Air (M1) user. I would say the following taking aside the operating system factors (Linux/Windows vs. macOS):

- The XPS 13 is better and more expensive except because of the battery and performance against the M2?. In the M1 "it is the battery stupid". Nothing compares to the M1 in the battery side.

- The article doesn't talk about the cooling factor, in the older XPSs it has a fan and again the MacBook Air doesn't have one. The XPS 2-1 doesn't have a fan.

- The XPS with a Thunderbolt dock like the TB16 is basically a desktop, with n external monitors while the MacBook Air only supports one.

- Many more things to detail in favor of the XPS 13 (touchscreen, resolution, 32gb of RAM) but for a nomad the MacBook beats it.

- As a last note I should add that the last Ubuntu 22 Wayland freezes when you connect a second external monitor to the XPS: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1407630/os-freezing-with-dua...

It also may be just indirectly reading the age or economical level or other factors that are correlated to ideology.

This is a bad comparison. If you’re truly counting calories and consuming at a deficit you’re going to lose weight.

Yeah, a budget was pretty much the main driver of my wife and I getting rid of student loan and credit card debt. My net worth isn’t 1MM, but I’m not sure it’d be anywhere close to what it is now without budgeting.
It seems an interesting newsletter though
Maybe the argument is that budgeting doesn’t work for the author because she is just _that_ poor. I guess I could see deprivation being kind of severe.

I was exposed to the idea of reverse ETL recently. The essence of the paradigm is to have a workflow that retrieves data from your SaaS APIs, transforms and enriches it, and then ingests this data into other SaaS providers in order to automate various backend workflows.

In a way it’s similar to a gateway in that you are composing different backend targets. Although it might just be a marketing neologism describing middleware.

> I used to tell people I was grateful to work in personal finance, because what I’ve learned has helped me get my own money under control. I have a small IRA, a comfortable $20,000 savings cushion, automatic bill payment, a credit card and a 740 credit score. But I’ve stopped giving financial literacy the credit, because I know the real reason my finances are “healthier” now: I have more money. I took a job with a salary that quadrupled my income, and voila — I became a lot more “responsible” with money.

Ramit Sethi has a similar take, which is that budget culture has become too obsessed with finding a lot of small (and largely ineffective) ways to cut down on spending so that you have more money, while really what most people should do is aggressively pursue avenues towards increasing their income. I tend like his advice way and attitude towards life in general more than Dave Ramsey.

Controversial opinion: Lack of education is THE primary reason for crippling debt and poor credit scores. If we taught personal finance in public school like we now teach DEI, there would be fewer adults in crippling debt.

I’ve seen people take out $30,000 7-year loans to buy a car when they are earning less than $100,000/year. Why? Lack of education on how that will impoverish.
Can’t you just check the “version” bits and reject if it’s not 4/7? Or are you worried about someone generating a completely random (non-compliant) set of bits that happens to parse as a v4/7
Looks as bad as STN. Now slap an active matric on it and we are back at square one.
Big-endianness is mandatory for opaque bytewise sorting (or lexicographic ordering in string form), which is a very desirable property of UUIDv6 and UUIDv7.
Loved this article. So many quotable passages, but I thought this one was particularly good:

Yeah, but we have them and people like them I guess? It’s competition.
Many displays (like some consumer-oriented LG models) don't use Thunderbolt. Two USB-C lanes are used for DisplayPort Alt-Mode (usually with HBR3 for e.g. 4k@60Hz) and two lanes for some USB3 variant.

> If you don’t like something, switch editors. I don’t understand why some people self-flagellate and don’t just pick the right tool for the job.

As an emacs user: One does not simply switch editors.

If you can just switch from emacs to vscode, you likely were using it at a very surface level.

Put another way one could switch from Java (jetbrains) to Scala(emacs), but still be writing Java code.

I think that there are users that treat IDEs and editors as a lowest common denominator where switching would be easy and others who build workflows on editor-specific features.

If you are the former, switching isn't a big deal.
I posit that the reason is we form a lot of habits and patterns when we are younger - like high school students or college students where most of us have more time and very little money.

Some of us reassess spending patterns over time (and even there some do it more frequently than others).

So you have this spread where a part of the population is still very frugal and some part is almost price insensitive and then everything in between.

Love to hear what other folks think.
No, you are not understanding what I explained. There is a moving horizon of time during which the ten seconds is continually extended, and the system needs to draw the line somewhere. When does the final ten seconds before cutoff begin? Your examples don't explain this. This is not easy stuff to solve without some compromises.
As the author of a popular ULID implementation in python[1], the spec has no stewardship anymore. The specification repo[2] has plenty of open issues and no real guidance or communication beyond language implementation authors discussing corner cases and the gaps in the spec. The monotonic functionality is ambiguous (at best), doesn't consider distributed id generation, and is implemented differently per-language [3].

Functionally, UUIDv7 might be the _same_ but the hope would be for a more rigid specification for interoperability.

A refreshingly good take on paralysis by analysis. I have suffered from this in the past as well. I found that having projects that are otherwise meaningless that I can hack together helps. It’s almost like a mini hackathon where the only thing that matters is the end product. Maybe I’ll choose something completely out of my professional life (eg woodworking with scrap wood) or write something in a language nobody around me likes because it’s “ugly.”
I suspect we're not really at the equivalent of 1993. We may still be back in the early 80s, with people exchanging bang paths and oohing and ahhing when an email goes through. 'Real' applications are thin on the ground, largely driven by novelty, and not particularly visible to the public. In most cases, wide-area networks can't compete with a phone call or a station wagon full of floppy disks. There's a bunch of competing approaches; it's not clear which will win, and surely most will fail, but all have devoted adherents. The important standards and protocols may still be in the future, or are obscured by piles of false leads, mistakes, and outright scams.

The thing is, we now exist in a post-internet environment where people are well aware of the transformative ability of technology. They're all looking for the Next Big Thing in a way that people just weren't in the 70s and 80s. The population of the world has doubled, and the share of those people who are trying to keep up with the cutting edge is _vastly_ higher. On top of that we're talking about a network of value, i.e. money, and so there's inherently money to be made--and it's accessible to the average Joe. All together, you've got the recipe for a blizzard of hype and excitement that obscures the real innovations that underlie it all. And that's unavoidable. Any exciting new technology with the potential to have a serious impact on society is inevitably going to trigger a blizzard of hype--and an equivalent blizzard of skepticism.

That makes the whole process exhausting. Par for the course in 2022.
I have loads of RSS feeds and I almost universally use them as notifications to go and see the post on the full site.

Most RSS readers I'm aware of prominently include an option to view the full page, often inside the same app (and these apps are less likely to have content-blocking add-ons installed, which would block lucrative surveillance).

I'm quite happy for RSS feeds to include only a summary/thumbnail/excerpt plus a link to the full page.
True, and pixel art was originally designed for cathode ray tubes. This leads to a funny effect where modern pixel art designers perhaps misunderstand the intended look of actual oldskool pixel art and emulate it anyway. The same is true of old fonts.
I feel like there’s a lot of effort these days to find a “culture” that is oppressive and the proposed solution is something else the author likes… but doesn’t seem to be anymore proven to solve anything.

I have trouble believing “budget culture” is keeping anyone down.

Budgeting is a tool for an individual to use, they might do it right or wrong. But that people fail at it doesn’t make it a culture / some sort of oppression or whatever exactly the author is getting at.

If I get public transport directions in Tokyo using Google it advises on exits, best train boarding position, and fares. In London none of these are available. Admittedly, I think the first two are deliberate, but surely London can provide fare data.
