Honestly this is why after dipping my toes into this some time back (along with some very limited time spent in crypto without any kind of derivative shenanigans) I came full circle back to index funds and just putting what I can away at the end of the month.

Are index funds going to make me crazy-bonkers-rich? No, but neither was anything else in all likelihood.

What they’re brilliant at is giving me my time and attention back. They’re low risk/reward, and they’re boring. Just like me, as it turns out. Toast to Jack Bogle.
Yes. They didn't refer to the MIT Billion Prices Project, they refereed to BLS itself, to debunk the claim that they "misused cover of academic theory" unlike what you did. You can't just say someone didn't fail epistemically just because you, 10 minutes later, didn't.

A domain name containing a word "lang" doesn't change the language itself, regardless of the author's reasons for choosing it. Also, when you open the site, it clearly states:

> Circle is a new C++20 compiler. It's written from scratch and designed for easy extension.

Is GNU C++ also a different programming language from C++, just for having extensions? If yes, should it also be banned from discussion on /r/cpp?
While that is better than nothing, for example US citizens are limited to only $10K USD in I-bond purchases per year per Taxpayer ID Number (TIN). Some people run their I-bond purchases through LLC's they control as well, but I don't know how the IRS would treat a fleet of LLC's set up purely just to get a TIN to use for buying I-bonds.

Oil and copper tends to follow inflation, but they're highly volatile so you can't rotate into them expecting good liquidity. If you hold say $100K+ USD you want to rotate and re-deploy after the carnage with fairly liquid assets at relatively low risk, then I can't think of much beyond take the hit in a conservative cash and select bonds positioned in a capital preservation posture, or Benjamin Graham-style conservative value equities.
Sometimes it's just some new big dog pissing on a tree.

This is fair - since a personal phone is arguably required in today's society and most people will have one regardless of income. It does not satisfy me that you need the latest and greatest phone however.

I bought a Chromebook for $200 probably 5 years ago that my wife still uses for all of the things that she doesn't want to use the phone for. There are still decent computers that are available for far lower prices than top-of-the-line phones.

It all goes back to personal finance vs. capitalism. Big Business wants you to believe that only the best smartphone will do, no matter your budget (what budget, haha?).

If you don't make that much money and you want to escape eternal debt-hell, you have to overcome this mindset and find good budget options. And I maintain that it can be done. Move out of the city. Establish trusting relationships through your own hard work and good faith efforts. Swallow your pride and lean respectfully and gratefully on friends and/or family if you have to. And then be there when someone needs you for the same. Big Business also wants you to believe that it's every man for himself, but that doesn't have to be true either.

I literally posted an example where that worked in recent times, not to mention the historic examples of smallpox and polio (although the latter sadly still remains at like 99% due to anti-vaccine misinformation in the few areas that still have polio).

Vaccines work.
The main reason for this is just fucking iMessage.

It's not even just that iMessage segregates non-iPhone messages by color. It screws up video and group texts.
Remember when theming options for computer interfaces were more than just a choice between bespoke "dark" and "light" modes?

Computers are apparently not powerful enough to do that today. Go on, fire up Windows 95 in a VM and be utterly amazed at how responsive it is compared to your current Desktop and it has vastly more themeability. This is the future we have made for ourselves.
The name Sam Bankman-Fried came up quite a lot in Twitter v. Musk. I wonder if he ended up with a stake in the acquisition deal. If SBF was indeed a sizable backer of the Twitter buyout, this more than anything could take Twitter out at the knees.
There was a company called Jitterbug that old those huge button phones in the USA in the 2000s.

Seems like we need an RSV vaccine. Flu, covid, and RSV managed by vaccine would be really nice. Colds are a bit easier to handle, at least.
Frankly, just reading the headline, I disagree. First of all, yes in a broad sense most people are gonna get fucked trading options if you don't know what they're doing. I know what I'm doing and my strategy is exclusively long equities. But you can absolutely make metric fuckloads of money trading options and there are some trades out there that ain't that hard to figure out. For example, you can print money on a regular basis trading puts on UVXY when volatility spikes. You just need to understand what you're doing. Now trying to predict earnings and all that bullshit -yeah that's a suckers game. But there are plenty of options strategies that can make retail traders a lot of money.

(BTW you may ask why I don't trade uvxy options if I'm so confident in its profitability - well I can't conduct the above mentioned strategy without violating regulations because of my occupation. But I did prior to my employment and consistently made double digit % returns in 1 trade every 2 months or so.)

Fully agree with this! Just stick to Flask/Django if you doing a simple website/API. Async also makes DB connections slower, here is a great piece from Mike Bayer from years ago: https://techspot.zzzeek.org/2015/02/15/asynchronous-python-a...
Do you have a write up on this tool somewhere? This sounds really cool!
I used to have a list of almost a dozen values that I thought were great, but weren't truly meaningful to me. I didn't fully live into them and there were too many to do that practically anyway.

At some point I came across this exercise for getting to core values which involves figuring out your "origin story". The idea is that you don't choose your values but that you recognize them. It involves reflecting back on some of your earliest, most salient memories, especially as a child. What can you learn from those memories and how have they shaped who you are today?

For me I looked back and remembered some core memories that reminded me that I've always wanted to be a helper. Somewhere along the way I became jaded and lost touch with it. Today I hold just two values as primary: Connection and Compassion. I see my purpose as to live into these as fully as I can.

(I don't remember where I found the exercise but if you search "origin story values exercise" you'll find a few variations)

I just abandoned paying about $12 more to get more legroom on a flight. The flight itself was an unexpected $200 hit and I didn't want to pay more than I had to.

In the US it seems there is not enough competition and as well their are significant barriers to entry for new airlines.
So basically, even sketchier.
We know Shadowstats is decieving us because they don't measure inflation, just add numbers to the official inflation numbers. You can read more about it if you google the topic. For example:

https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1025266&sid...

In a more pragmatic sense, if you can't be bothered to learn enough economics to evaluate the official number (which is understandable) going with the group that sounds crazy is a bad idea.

This author talks about outside view dismissals being a valid form of evaluating a claim in the context of a cult:

"But the outside view tells you something different. These people are wearing funny robes and beads, they live in a remote compound, and they speak in unison in a really creepy way. Even though their arguments are irrefutable, everything in your experience tells you you're dealing with a cult.

Of course, they have a brilliant argument for why you should ignore those instincts, but that's the inside view talking.

The outside view doesn't care about content, it sees the form and the context, and it doesn't look good."

>Am I just a stick in the mud?

Yes. But it's normal. People who weren't involved in the project, or don't know design, very commonly have strong negative reactions to a company they know rebranding. I don't know why.

Come next year you'll have either completely forgotten about this, or have no opinion at all.
That's... wrong as well. You don't need to have a million ways to be wrong and a few ways to be right. You just need to understand that the world doesn't operate on naive probabilities where each outcome is equally likely.
Time and motivation is the main thing.

As you are older you simply have less free time.

You also usually have less to prove too which eats into your motivation.
Yeah the lesson with getting IRB approval if you want it done in less than 6 months is to always use an external IRB (if possible). Institutional IRBs are sloooooowwww.
Same x axis - time. CPI is a time series, you get a point every month. Everyone is trying to draw conclusions, it's the point of this thread.

>> The instantaneous slope would be negative if the last month happened to observe a slight decrease, true

This is sloppy. It's fine, it's a forum, we aren't writing academic papers.

Nobody is trying to figure the slope of the straight line between the two points, that's what is already reported.

Yes, both can be true.

Simplified analogies suck... there is more and more evidence that (some) virus infections can have a damaging accumulating effect (it depends though and the biggest factor seems to be the individual). By your simplified analogy it would seem logical to expose oneself to any virus as often as someone does not "overexercise" the muscle, which is really not recommended!!! It doesn't make you stronger, it can weaken and permanetly damage you! Some things are lethal, some things are damaging, hyperhygiene especially in childhood is not good, but still hygiene is a profound reason our civilization does better in many regards.. it is a tight balance everyone needs to decide for his own (and to his own conditions).

Please don't propagate that our immune system is a muscle we need to train (in that simplified way).
The misleading bit would be reporting yoy price increases every month. Still not necessarily misleading to someone trained in reading this data, but the average lay person would probably interpret yoy statistics reported monthly incorrectly when comparing adjacent months

Why are computers so serious now?

The mystery and the whimsy appears to have gone from all modern UI design.

I learned this when I got fleeced in the '17 crypto bull and bust. When there's music, it's okay to trade. You're probably going to make money just by accident. But when the music stops, leave immediately, take the bit of money you made with you, and don't look back. It's so easy to stay greedy after the music stops and you're no longer at peak profit. I stuck around too long trying to make it back, lost everything I made and then some. Never making that mistake again.

Elon Musk has banned remote work at Twitter in his first email to staff since buying the company, warning that the social media platform needs “intense work” in the office to turn round its fortunes.

“The road ahead is arduous and will require intense work to succeed,” he wrote in a company-wide email sent to employees on Thursday morning and seen by the Financial Times. “We are . . . changing Twitter policy such that remote work is no longer allowed, unless you have a specific exception.”

Employees must be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week, except for those “physically unable to travel” or with “a critical personal obligation”, according to the email.

Musk added that he would review and approve any exemptions to the policy himself, instructing managers to compile lists of any staff seeking to continue remote working.
The new policy at Twitter matches Musk’s demands at another company he runs, Tesla, where in June he insisted staff should turn up for work at least 40 hours a week in the office, or find new employment.

The email to Twitter employees, which was first reported on by Bloomberg, was the first they have received directly from Musk since his $44bn takeover of the social media platform. Musk has instead used his personal Twitter account to publicly brainstorm new initiatives and products for the company.

The move has been received with frustration by some staff who moved further away from the office during the pandemic and are now faced with long commutes, said two former Twitter employees.

Former chief executive Parag Agrawal had said in March this year before Musk offered to buy the company, that staff could work from home “full-time forever”.

[tweet omitted]

One Twitter employee said: “It’s not a massive surprise given how he does things at other companies. [The] manner of the comms and the lack of notice haven’t helped bring people with him.”

Bruce Daisley, Twitter’s former European vice-president, said: “It is an easy management mistake to conclude that employees working from home are less productive or collaborative than those in the office . . . [but] remote workers work more, not less. Generally when we feel like we can sustain a better work-life harmony, we find ourselves happier in our jobs. Musk might find that his team end up more frustrated by this additional jab at them.”

Musk began slashing the company’s 7,500-strong workforce last week “in an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path” as he warned that the platform had experienced a “massive drop in revenue” since his takeover was completed.

Musk has also asked staffers to work round the clock on new products including a subscription charge for users to get access to a blue tick on their profile, as well as features such as the edit button.

Twitter’s new office rules put it at odds with its social media rivals, who all have flexible working in place. At TikTok, staff were asked to return to the office for at least two days a week from September this year, while Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, has encouraged remote working, with several top executives based away from the company’s headquarters.
Pretty good opinion, though.
My totally unscientific hypothesis is: "solving problems you do care about" is usually the easiest way to make money, e.g CRUD and web API.

Once your skill is more polished and your experience is wider, then try to look for jobs where their goals aligns with your interests.
The US is largely the same but fire services are sent out to a lot of those because they also have the tools to deal with getting access to patients and making the scene safe for ambulance crews. Sending them out immediately means you don't have to wait for them if the patient's door is locked or their car is all smashed up and you need fire services to peel the car apart to get to them.

> You are talking about modern US copyright law.

No, I’m talking mostly about British copyright law prior to the nominal prioritization of creators in the Statute of Anne (1710).

(Techhically, it was focussed on printers rather than publishers, but the separation of function of those is a more modern arrangement.)

You can tell the part you target isn't about modern US copyright law because I later in the same post distinguish all US copyright law under the Constitution (which includes modern US copyright law) from it.

Thinking about this more.. here's a classic example:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/dr-paul...

An American doctor volunteers three months of FREE service and is denied a license?

Normally they would use "lacks Canadian experience" but in this case he was Canadian trained.

Not to worry, the licensing group found an excuse to deny his license.

Because of COVID he was seeing patients virtually or over the phone. They managed to dig up some obscure ruling that doctors need to see patients in person, so license denied.

And the general public, could they not have benefitted from 3 months of free service? This area is absolutely DESPERATE for a doctor, but the barriers to entry must be protected at all costs.

I'm not sure that provides an invalidation. There was unprecedented asset inflation during that period. Consumer inflation jumped at the same time the market realized that they were no longer making money hand over fist holding assets, no doubt in response to realizing that the only way to make money going forward was to produce something of value and charging accordingly.

You can print money endlessly, stuffing it into people's bank accounts limitlessly, and as long as they don't spend it you won't see inflation. But once they do start to spend it, the capacity to spend is magnified. Stocks, real estate, etc. provided essentially that bank account... until now.
