> I feel like I must be missing something. Why are dividends treated differently from price increases?

you're thinking about it the right way, and they aren't treated differently the way you're thinking. They way they are treated differently is,

if you just look at historical stock prices you will miss the dividends being siphoned off, so you have to track the dividends and put those amounts back into your charts, and it's mentioned over and over so you don't look at the data and wonder if they did the naive thing or the complex thing.

and dividends are taxed in that calendar year as income at the corporate level, and again at the personal level, and not with lower capital gains tax rates, so the amount left over that is available to the investor to spend or reinvest is smaller than the nominal amount, and taxes change over time, and different income brackets pay different taxes (which is ignored, i think, they just use worst case marginal tax rates) Because dividends are income-taxed, it makes sense to earmark that money to spend on yourself if you're going to be spending any of the money on yourself.

and large "institutions" frequently don't pay income tax (I'm not an expert, but churches, foundations, and perhaps pension funds and corporations which have large losses/expenses/depreciation to write off) but they do play a large role in the investment markets, driving market prices etc.

You know what it all reminds me of? climate science. You can measure a ton of metrics and track them over time and try to predict the future, but the data is only a very rough estimate of what's going on, and the underlying dynamics change a lot over time.
For my phone, I'm already logged in and never get any future challenges. I needed the Yubikey when I first logged into my phone, but after that the phone has been authenticated. If I unlink my phone to my Google account I'll need the Yubikey again, but I don't normally do that. So normally I don't carry a Yubikey with me, like when I go to the store and what not.

That said, I do keep a Yubikey with me in my bag when I travel in case my phone breaks and I need to authenticate into a new device. I do take a Yubikey with me going to and from the office as there are other services and platforms which do challenge my Yubikey more often.

it's definitely not free. There's a fee but even if they waive it, they make more money from currency exchange rates.

The reason this kind of analysis is irrelevant is that human civilization has only been exploiting oil since ~ early 1900s.

Sure, fossil fuels in the form of coal has been exploited before, but nothing on the scale of coal/gas/oil use that started after the Great Depression and ramped up to peak per capita consumption circa 1970s if memory serves.

So you always have to look at that historic period discounting that, and the massive population growth that came with it.

Tech advancements are slowing down and so is population growth.

Regions interests best served by status quo first and foremost. Then a peaceful political resolution. Then a limited TW scenario that doesn't spread to the rest of the region. Lastly, broad regional war. Which could end in PRC defeat, which ruins regions economics and will ensure long term instability because PRC will try again. Or ends in US defeat which removes the US as a security hedge to balance PRC. Basically they want the least disruptive PRC-TW settlement, after which they (not just SKR/JP) can enhance US presence without TW damocles hanging over their heads.

Coinbase has crazy R&D spending like more than one billion Dollar in last year. Robinhood is also very similar. On the other hand Tesla only had 3 billion Dollar in last year. Really mind-boggling.

You wouldn't put shielding around an antenna, that kind of defeats the purpose of being an antenna.

The thing about circuits that work at GHz frequencies, is that the wavelengths are small enough that practically any part of your circuit can absorb EM, so it would be handy if the enclosure had this shielding effect.
Some countries have capital control and thus cannot send money from there easily.

>I shouldn't need a billionaire to take up my cause before I'm allowed to advocate for it on social media.

You don't. However those platforms have other users, and do not exist without money, which means either you pay a fee to use them or advertisers pay. Advertisers don't want to pay if idiots are going to post crap. They are businesses that don't exist with control over content. If one could work otherwise, then one would, but over and over groups that try implode and learn why there are nuances and tradeoffs. Watching Musk tank twitter is a perfect example of how he cannot come close to getting it right.

I don't understand how people think they have a right and expect others to foot the resulting bill for them.

>Freedom of political speech is not a law or constitutional amendment.

It absolutely is a law, with boundaries defined by law.

>Its a fundamental cultural value of Americans.

Precisely because we have had it as a law for a long time. Other cultures vary, with some more free to the point Americans would lose their mid with prudish abandon to much more restrictive. None are inherently, magically, absolutely right. There are tradeoffs, and cultures are the result of people living in one pattern for a long time.

Property rights in the US are also laws and cultural. Why right do you have to post stuff on others property? Little to none. The First Amendment is not the only right people have after all.

And you fail to address that the First Amendment also prohibits Congress from preventing press free speech, which laws have adjusted to include things that did not exist when the Founders added the Amendments.

>Im sick of people trying to kill it off in all but name by paradoxically citing the limitations of that amendment.

They're not. You have more ability to reach more people with more opinions than mankind has ever had. How many people before social media had the ability to get millions of followers?

You can post nearly anything on a website you make, which is easy to do. You can then gather followers and a platform. No one owes you that platform. The ability to reach others has never been so easy.
Coinbase is well known. I agree, in the crypto community everyone avoids Coinbase (for many other reasons). It’s amazing to me that they shit the bed with business accounts tho.
It's intended to ask users for consent before stalking them. But lack of enforcement means that in practice implementations use a non-compliant popup that forces users to accept (and is often technically flawed in that the tracking scripts are loaded regardless of the user's answer).
A retail company that I worked for (I worked in the general office and we got a bit of a chuckle talking about the test) had a test that was very much in the same vein - though it wasn't a "have you ever considered" but rather put on a "agree to disagree" spectrum.

It is ok to get into fights during your break as long as you aren't at the store
It is ok to take office supplies home if they aren't valued more than $10
It is ok to not clock out for a smoke break if it is less than five minutes long

There were other questions that were ones you were supposed to agree with too - just those weren't as memorable.

Apparently, there were people who failed the test.

The other part of the test is that it is on record. So when someone does get into a fight during their break the GM can pull the test out and say "see, you knew this."

Dividends aren't enough to cover living expenses.

If you plan to withdraw 4% per year, so you preserve your wealth indefinitely, you're more than 2 percentage points short when the dividend yield is 1.71% [1]

If you want to live solely from dividends, you'll need more than double the capital.

If you want to die with zero [2], it's impossible.

I'd much rather invest in a dividend-accumulating index fund and sell as I please.

>But the best way to finish tracks is to have a timer running and just bang shit out without thinking too much, pure instinct.

This ^^

Especially in the jamming or "feeling" phase, it's about having your tools (in this case, a few pre-made sounds, or kits) available as quickly as you need them, so you can get into the flow of the track and not lose it. It's also why when I make beats or tracks, I oftentimes find myself composing the peak of the track almost by default and work backwards from there.

Also, USE TEMPLATES!!! Templates are considered a form of cheating by some, but I don't ascribe to that, and I love using templates because it can help me progress so much faster in each phase of production. My default Ableton setup for 4/4 house music literally has every section of the track already set, the default sounds (drums, samples, synths) I need to use to get a groove going, levels pre-adjusted, and everything is color-coded for ease of viewing....and I just go from there.

I saw a video put out by Ableton maybe 2 or 3 years ago that had some artist saying "just get something down in the DAW, and don't worry about what that something actually is - because you'll replace everything later when you're not in the ideation phase of production". The other thing is that if you mix the ideation and production phases, you'll get bored of your track very quickly because you aren't taking breaks, just hearing over and over what you've made so far. It's happened to me literally hundreds of times. I have probably 1k+ ideas (could be a track that's 90% done, or a few loops put together, or just a MIDI sequence that i was goofing around with) sitting on a variety of old computers and hard drives. None will ever be finished, partially due to my inability to set a goal, accomplish it, and close the DAW.

Some of the best production content I've seen has been "Against The Clock" videos where the artist (or artists) have 10 minutes to make something. They just flow for a bit, and then revisit it later if need be.
Purchase a domain and use your registrar's SMTP and IMAP servers. I have been doing this for about 5 years now and it feels great. I get to pay annually for a bundle of related services (domain, DNS, email, ...) instead of freeloading in a place where I'm the product and there is no support.

You could also purchase a domain and point MX records anywhere, preferably at some known-good mail service which you pay for.

Ah, I make it compile partial HTML (just page content), and stick that into my own HTML page template(s) (written as HEREDOCS :D).

That's part of the joy of using Pandoc. I can pipeline it, no problem.

Like this:

cf. https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite/blob/master/bin/templ...

cat "${watch_dir}/sources/${url_slug}" |
__shite_templating_compile_source_to_html ${file_type} |
__shite_templating_wrap_content_html ${content_type} ${watch_dir} |
__shite_templating_wrap_page_html \
> "${watch_dir}/public/${html_url_slug}"

Templates look like this. Notice the $(cat -) in the middle. That's how the HTML content produced by Pandoc gets injected in the middle of everything else.

shite_template_common_default_page() {
local maybe_page_id=${shite_page_data[page_id]:+"id=\"${shite_page_data[page_id]}\""}
local maybe_canonical_url=${shite_page_data[canonical_url]:+"<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"${shite_page_data[canonical_url]}\">"}

cat <<EOF
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
$(shite_template_common_meta)
$(shite_template_common_links)
${maybe_canonical_url}
</head>
<body ${maybe_page_id}>
<div id="the-very-top" class="stack center box">
$(shite_template_common_header)
<main id="main">
$(cat -)
</main>
$(shite_template_common_footer)
</div>
</body>
</html>
EOF
}

edit: substantiate Pandoc's role.
Why would you exclude part of the total return on an investment? It'd be like ignoring the principal value of a bond because you expect to live on the coupon. Cashflows are cashflows.
I experienced some of the issue you described. But in my above comment I generalized my own experience too much.

For me personally, it was a combination of kindness and brutal honesty that helped me to overcome these challenges. Well meaning bullshit only worsened my self-perception. For me it meant that my inner self-critic got sharper, more precise and clear instead of the carnage it created before. I didn't shut it up or try to soothe it and I'm glad for it. But that's _me_ so thank so for reminding me that it's too easy to generalize these kinds of things.
we tried "Saxon math", Singapore math dimensions, and Beast Academy.

And my impression was that Saxon Math was the worst.
What I mean by worst is that it just make you practice an algorithm by doing lot of repetition but doesn't force you to have a deep understanding or problem solving skill.
Definitely. I did that a few weeks ago and got an email from Google to my gmail saying something along the lines of "somebody has your password and is trying to log in!" even though it was just me on a different computer and after submitting password I realized I didn't have my phone on me so couldn't submit the 2FA. It was even a computer on the same LAN (with same WAN IP), so not like I had an active session in the US while the attempt came from Moscow...
And if you have an Android phone you don't even need a pair of hardware keys, one is enough as backup, just use your phone as the main key: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhz4YLay0zc

I'm not sure if you're saying that rust stdlib docs do this but documentation where all the examples are themselves runnable as tests and included in the CI test suite solves so many problems.
>> Not to pick on them, but I found this illuminating on how religions present such a myopic view of life and what it means to be alive on Earth.

You fall into a trap of using a single English word to cover a multitude of different world-views. It would be as useful to say that the quote "... how people present..."

Within the broad category of "religion" you have thousands of different groups, most of which would find minor, or very major, things to disagree on. Judaism is massively different to say Druidism or Buddhist. Crumbs, _within_ Judaism you have a full spectrum from Ultra Orthodox to unpracticing.

I would thus caution you from viewing the world as falling into either religious or irreligious. Ultimately that classification is not meaningful.

While I agree with his observation here, if his narration can be assumed to be accurate, it is somewhat rich coming from Feynman who was famously dismissive of things he didn't find interesting. He saw the world from a very particular point of view.
True, but then the stuff Western Union charges a significant margin for is the stuff which is a very useful service (getting spendable local cash in someone's village). If you can get that at all with crypto, the guy in the village exchanging cryptos for local currency is going to charge even more...

Ok, Coinbase isn’t a payments platform, they are a consumer speculative investing Ponzi scheme, aka, an exchange.

Since playing No Mans Sky[0] I've thought about this a lot.

Basically in the game the universe is a simulation that only has 16 minutes (real time) left to run, but that still translates to billions of years in universe, and the number 16 manifests everywhere as the computer/AI tries to fix itself.

But we have game engines that approximate physics, so if an NPC like Newton were watching he could figure out gravity from the game engine because even though it's not a real thing in the game it's based on our reality, but what if a player opens a portal and steps through and is transported to another universe or solar system?

They could come up with all kinds of convoluted 'physics' to explain it based on what they know of physics based on watching the games engine do its thing.

But this time the physics in universe isn't based on anything 'real', it's just some random code someone like us wrote to teleport players.

If they couldn't find a physics answer they might call it magic.

What if magic in our reality is just rewriting the game engine code in game?

I could totally get away with this, but my nerd OCD won't allow it.

This is doubly hilarious because I can no longer read the date window on most of my watches for one reason or another. The "cyclops" on my Rolex is scuffed, which obscures its date window, for example. Sadder is the fact that my resistance to progressives means the Seamaster's non-magnified date window may as well be theoretical to my 52 year old eyes. LOL.

(What's REALLY funny is the sheer TININESS of the date window on my wife's lady-sized Doxa dive watch. I have NO idea how anyone could ever actually USE it, and yet they ship it with a date movement.)

I don't know if you meant to, but all three of those links are hilarious if you read them. The first one has `moving toward` in the title, which is academic speak for "it doesn't work and we don't know how to make it work". Otherwise it would be arrived at. Very similar to Betteridge's Law of Headlines for academia.

The second link is a news article that is very critical about the motivations, projected success, and sneaky language used by companies to justify pyrolisys. And this is coming from what is ostensibly a pro-chemical news source.

The third article is paywalled and I'm guessing 99% of us can't read it. However, the `Opportunities and Challenges` is again academic talk for "we looked into it and it's really really hard".
You've got it backwards. In 1923, your 8 million 1923-dollars was worth what $138 million 2023-dollars is today. You started with $138 million 2023-dollars, but denominated in 1923-dollars that's $8 million.

If you just hold on to it your 1923-dollars have become 2023-dollars, but there's still exactly $8 million of them. You've lost nearly 95% of the value.
$8 million in cash will always be $8 million in cash. "Stashed it away" is pretty vague but cash is cash.
