Your approach is logically equivalent with buying ETFs on a margin. Such leveraged positions are considered inherently "risky".

Everyone handles risk differently, for some people a 1% risk of a small loss might not be acceptable, whereas some other people essentially gamble their life savings. I'm sure your risk profile is "socially acceptable", but I think you're missing the main point of GP, i.e. there's additional risks that shouldn't be dismissed with an offhand remark.

I'll also note that such leveraged positions make the assumption that: (1) you will continue to have a stable stream of income for mortgage repayment, (2) the stock market trends upward, (3) property markets won't fall dramatically, (4) interest rates won't rise dramatically.

They sound rather independent at first but when the economy crashes those things suddenly happen all at once. As you may know, the economy crashes every once a while, and from a "frequentist" perspective something like this happening in the next 5 years is probably in the order of 1%-5%.

That said, I'll grant you that the advantage of these leveraged positions are that it's "socially acceptable" to take the risk. No sympathy for those who gamble away their savings in a casino, but the class of people who became homeless because they speculated in the stock market instead of repaying their mortgages might get a bailout with public funds if they're lucky.

The cost of takeaway/delivery has gotten absurd. I was looking at my deliveroo account the other day (UKs door dash) which has my order history all the way back to 2018. The drop-off in my usage and the increase in price post-Covid is interesting to look at. The nice thing about being in the UK is I can save myself a few bucks and just walk down the street to pick up the food myself. To be honest though, prices are so ridiculous I don’t even bother doing that anymore. It’s significantly cheaper to just do it myself (and I find myself eating healthier).

Highly recommend learning how to cook. There are a lot of easy dishes out there that you can throw in a crock-pot or oven with almost no prep, the trick is all in the spices. Chicken, pasta (with lean ground turkey!), salmon.. all low maintenance. Get yourself a steamer/rice cooker and most of the “cooking” is just waiting for your timers to go off.
I think you may not be old enough to realize how social media shaped our reality when it came on the scene. Before that, it was the media giants that controlled the airwaves.

Interesting comparison, thanks for sharing.

Fond memories of Windows XP x64 on AMD Athlon 64. To think that I actually ran into the problem of no 16-bit executable support, lol. I reverse-engineered my first 64 bit executable with this processor: Photoshop.
No.

Is it communism to subsidize agriculture, fossil fuels, real estate, weapons, and all of the other industries that get enormous subsidies?

Is Tesla a communist invention? It only still exists because of enormous Obama-era subsidies.

The answer, of course, is "no" and also that you need to research what communism means.

As a hint, one of the keys of communism is public ownership. This bill doesn't transfer private assets to government ownership.
OK, I buy that. Instead of focusing on demand, govt could look at the supply side.

Let's be generous and assume lower wages is not the solution. I doubt the goal here is cheaper food at the cost of misery to others.

So there's rent as the obvious contender. In some parts of the country rent is high because supply is low. In NY there's not much one can do about supply, but in say SF property supply is very much under govt control. So loosening up zoning there, and allowing for more development would be a step. Of course there are a lot of people invested in that not happening - specifically landlords - which means the govt has to pick winners and losers (or more accurately choose different winners, since they are already choosing winners and losers.)

Now granted the original poster was clearly talking in the context of restaurant food prices, not actual "food prices" - but its worth noting that zoning changes wouldn't affect general food prices, and the impact on restaurant rents would be long term, not short term.

The other big input cost, direct and indirect, is energy. Fuel for cooking, and perhaps more significantly for transport.

I'm not sure the govt can do a whole lot there - yes there are taxes in there, but they are low compared to global standards, and reducing them just means making them up elsewhere. (which might not be a bad thing, but tax policy moves very slowly.)

The price of oil is not really in govt hands, pricing there is international and very fluid. Unlike most oil-producing countries, the US does not determine local supply.

So we're back to labour? But even there labour isn't over controlled by govt. Min wage is already pretty low, and given the high employment rate labourers can afford to hold out for higher pay. Its not like people working is restaurants are rich, even most owners barely break even, so again this doesn't look like an area where govt could do much - except encourage poor immigrants maybe? (in the UK low-end posts are getting hard to fill since brexit)

And I'm not sure lower restaurant prices at the cost of human misery is really the goal here.

So, in summary, what other govt options are in play? Zoning would have an effect in some locations. Is there anything else that would have an impact? Especially in a short time scale?
> Almost nobody notices you have a new phone; when someone does, the conversation ends quickly and invariably in a sentence like “it’s just like the old one, only faster”.

I never understood the mindset of getting a new phone so other people will notice. Do you remember what brand and model your friends use? If so, why do you care?

> It is a crazy strategy of Apple to put the “brains” of its most expensive phone, the iPhone 13 Pro Max (+USD 1.099), in its entry model, low cost (USD 429). No other company does this.

It will be even crazier for Apple to design and manufacture an entire separate line of chips just for this phone. Reusing the chip currently in production is convenient which is why other companies do this as well (DSLR sensors and processors instantly come to mind).

Good for you for liking your phone. But this reads a bit too young and eager. Good luck with your reviews going forward.
This is good advice to me.
I’d also add that if there are areas of your life that you think need improvement, don’t forget to improve your life. Keep it in check and avoid lifestyle creep, but if you’re constantly unhappy with something, some might argue what’s the point of all of that saving?

What's stopping people from just running the, say, Google build of Android on this phone? If there is custom device drivers or whatever, can't they just be copied from the custom ASUS android over to the standard android build, while avoiding all the crapware and lack of updates?
That's when cameras started existing, not when people got them.
There's no need to paint typing as a black and white picture. Basically all of the major Common Lisp implementations are compiled yet allow for typing in order to let the compiler emit better machine code (e.g. the compiler doesn't need to insert runtime type checks or use generic arithmetic when adding two u16s and storing the result in a u32). It's nice being able to use dynamic types for prototyping then gradually adding types later for better optimization by the compiler.
Exactly. This is also necessary for the example code in the keyword generics proposal. You still need to write a .await and treat everything as being potentially async. Compare this to C++20s coroutine design where you practically have a zero overhead abstraction that might or might not be async without the author of the function having to necessarily know. They just yield control flow back to the caller who might suspend execution or not.

I’m not saying that one design is better than the other, just that this seems to be a bandaid on top of existing tradeoffs made in Rust’s async design that is only 2 years old.
All I know is Asian (chinese, indian,thai,japanese too but mostly bento boxes) places have large enough portions to make the cost worth it. If you are getting burgers and bbq, if the cost is an issue then they are fairly easy to replicate at home.

There are prepared frozen foods as well with competitive pricing. <$10 frozen pizza vs $20(with tax+fees+tip) for delivery pizza for example.
Browsers suppressing ads by default leads to the question of what counts as an ad. Borderline cases: sponsored portions of YouTube videos (a la SponsorBlock), videos containing entirely sponsored content, movie trailers, game/software demos, freemium games, free credits for cloud services, product placement, soliciting Patreon subscriptions, sections calling out or listing names of Patreon subscribers, publicly thanking large donors (charities do this), things with ads in the name (e.g. sports arenas and events), things named after donors (e.g. college buildings), soliciting subscriptions to their own subscription service (e.g. Linus Tech Tips YouTube videos promoting Floatplane), soliciting subscriptions to a partnered subscription service (e.g. many youtubers promoting Nebula).

I still remember the frustration that the screen height was so short (480px) that I couldn't reach the bottom of many ubuntu configuration panels.
I'm not big on using language-specific tooling. Programs need to be part of the package manager management loop of a distro to ever be adopted, especially for developers who don't use those languages.

Using language-specific package managers can only lead to out of date software, security bugs, and other nastiness. Same reason I don't install programs with pip, npm, or other crazy things.
What’s interesting is that as a total misanthrope I have learned to conceal my scorn of pretty much fucking everyone and it’s earned me a reputation in my professional circles as a very warm and inclusive person.

I wonder what's the purpose of GalliumOS. After the usual unlocking, I've installed Manjaro on several 1st and 2nd generation Chromeboxes with no problems whatsoever; everything supported out of the box, and I would expect Debian or Ubuntu to work as well. Are there any incompatibilities with newer generation models so that a dedicated distro is needed?
True. To some extend.

But I can usually grasp very quickly "Ah yes, inside an article-section, the name comes first, and the description comes second".

Writers of scraping software don't like ":nth-of-type(3)" though. They prefer ".price". As it is easier to write and will survive more changes to the site.
In addition to all of the very good saving and investing advice you’ve received so far (which should be followed), remember that some experiences are easier and more enjoyable while young. You could invest it all and live a very comfortable life in retirement, but things like traveling and other physical activities get harder to do and you likely have less time to check off your bucket list. Use some to enjoy life now, if that’s what you want.

> Putting aside the ridiculousness of the Big Agra's bedroom activity with the Government, what's your point?

How is this ridiculousness? The government heavily subsidizes corn, which makes it cheap to use to fatten up cows. If corn wasn't cheaply produced, it would be used less in beef production.

Government subsidies are why corn is in most products, and why it's being used for a percentage of fuel. The corn being produced is low in nutrients and high in sugar. The subsidies are not a positive thing for the economy or for our health.
> Within two years most apps will probably stop supporting iOS 15 so you’ll start having issues.

Some might, but I don't think most will, and I feel overall there's a fair chance they may not run into many problems. Let's look at the top 20 apps' iOS requirements for their latest app version:
- ZOOM - iOS 8.0
- TikTok - iOS 10.0
- Disney+ - iOS 14.0
- YouTube - iOS 12.0
- Instagram - iOS 12.4
- Facebook - iOS 13.4
- Snapchat - iOS 12.0
- Messenger - iOS 11.0
- Gmail - iOS 13.0
- Cash App - iOS 13.0
- Amazon Shopping - iOS 13.0
- Netflix - iOS 14.0
- Google Maps - iOS 13.4
- DoorDash - iOS 14.0
- Spotify - iOS 13.0
- Widgetsmith - iOS 14.0
- WhatsApp - iOS 12.0
- Venmo - iOS 13.0
- Google - iOS 14.0
- Google Meet - iOS 13.0

So 7 of these apps can have their latest version run on the iPhone 5S (iOS 12), which released nearly 9 years ago and hasn't received a major update in almost 4 years. None of these apps require the latest version of iOS, and only 4 of them require the second most recent version of iOS.

However, many if not most of these apps will allow you to download an older version if you aren't running the latest iOS version, and it will often continue to work. Realistically, most people probably won't care if their Gmail app is running an old version if it still works.

> It’s obviously served you great, but it might be time.

If it becomes an issue, they can upgrade at that time if they feel it is necessary. I don't see any reason to upgrade prematurely though.

Yes, in theory their device will be insecure once it stops receiving updates. In practice, I'm aware of exceptionally few people who have been infected by a virus on an unsupported iPhone. They can disable JavaScript in the browser if they want to be extra secure (not that that mitigates all vulnerabilities, but unless they're notably rich, famous or powerful, they're probably unlikely to be targeted.)
It is. But so is giving tax breaks to "clean energy" and stuff like that. Usually, the argument is just too nice and people buy (green energy!). I'm guessing only when it's too late and the system collapses that people realize the same mistake again of communism/free market.
IANAL but I think throwing "innocent until proven guilty" around might not be valid outside of criminal justice.
Labour in restaurants does not scale well.

Servers can only serve x tables, chefs and cooks can only make x meals per hour. Valets, barmen, bussboys all scale pretty linearly.

Plus rent doesn't scale well either. More meals translates to more staff, more staff translates to more space. And that's also linear.

Food-scale happens in factories, think frozen meals in your supermarket not restaurants.

Investors and founders hate down rounds. You want a pricing to be as beneficial as possible to all involved. Startups are extremely risky and getting a deal done at any price is an accomplishment.

Now you want to give a lot of small shareholders liquidity. The pricing is far more often. The whims of the world plus poorly negotiated deals can make a small sale be far below the last investment price. Psychologically this is bad even for wealthy investors and investing is heavily based on psychology.

No one wants to let that happen except the employees. The founders, the board, and the earlier investors don’t want anything that can jeopardize their argument for what their shares are worth.
A friend and I compared my $30 wired headphones to a pair of airpods. They of course has a lot of extra features, but my both of us agreed that my headphones had better audio quality.

Now, I didn't buy them for the audio but for the fact that I lose things constantly. I can't have $100 headphones despite any quality of life improvements that they bring.

I will never buy a phone without a 3.5mm jack.

This is a very silly tangent, but it's actually remarkable how early cameras became an economical (albeit slightly luxurious) way to preserve personal histories: I have pictures of ancestors from the 1870s and 1880s, despite living in a one horse shtetl in the middle of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

The Kodak Brownie[1] was arguably the first "mass market" camera, and it's 122 years old this year.

When you're the creator of the animation, you can directly simulate motion blur instead of using temporal downsampling.

The smoothness of video depends on the angular distance objects move in your field of view between frames. You can see this in the demos: the lower framerates are relatively smooth at the ends of the animation where the motion is slowest, and all framerates (even the highest) become considerably smoother when you decrease your browser zoom.
The Tiktok algorithm we have rewards repetitive dancing in front of the camera, pulling ("fake") pranks and random snippets from movies edited together with dramatic music added.

In China (their app is called Douyin), the algorithm rewards things they want their youth to be doing. Content which involves maths, engineering, medicine, etc are rewarded.

I'm certain that there is some strategic motive from China to push American children in the wrong direction with the invention of this app. Kids and teenagers spending their time and energy on unproductive activities which will lead to the next generation being ever-so slightly behind.

The irony is that the article states that progressives don’t understand conservatives / rural “non-elites”, then the author goes on to misunderstand and mischaracterize conservatives / rural “non-elites”. You and the author see it as empathy, maybe others see it differently. I view myself as an empathetic person (truly what person doesn’t see themselves as empathetic) but I think such restrictions are fine. There’s many similar tells in the article (I say “tell” because I get the sense you and the author would consider me to be unempathetic to others’ suffering and you and the author would view yourself as “very empathetic”). The article is introduced as the author being the one to bridge the gap with his “first class intelligence” being able to maintain his left / progressive values while also being a conservative / non-elite whisperer, when really he misses the mark and fails to understand.
Their algo is super reactive at times with the right threshold of tuning for expanding/exploring new content. It’s also great at leaning back into familiar stuff.

Overall it’s a really well done ML model.

Can fighter jets (air superiority, and multi-role) "outrun" MANPAD? Most of the time, for practical purposes, yes.

MANPAD can't go very far compared to serious AA systems and are generally best for CAS-type fixed wing aircraft or helicoptors. Even the best MANPAD (stinger, or whatever,) get something like 80% contact probability. A reasonably aware fighter jet can evade a MANPAD missile with very basic defensive maneuvers. MANPADs are best for harassing fast moving aircraft and denying full air control with gunships or transports.

On the other hand, dedicated AA systems are another matter entirely
