Any decent index fund?

“Risk free” is too high a bar for any investment, compare the expected outcome instead.
Hold on there. If you're getting coverage like this, where someone comes and takes flattering photos of you, that's the kind of thing you get when you or your supports can fund a PR team to wrangle major journalists into covering you. I think she's fine on support.

Mine had a similar recommendation about eye drops and additionally strongly advised me to never use drops with vasoconstrictors like Visene.

Sure, I agree that corporations should be more transparent but this isn't the messaging that I'm getting from these comments. Maybe I'm completely misinterpreting, but this is what it looks like people are trying to say: "These corpos are too damn greedy! If only we pressured these corpos for being greedy, we wouldn't be in this position." My point is that this sentiment completely ignores that this "greed" is what created such a large class of relatively wealthy tech workers in the first place. If companies weren't allowed to lay people off, they would be less willing to hire them in the first place.
* Between 2000 and 2018, nearly 232,474 minors were legally married in the United States. The vast majority of child marriages in the U.S. were between a minor girl and an adult man. In many cases, minors in the U.S. may be married when they are under the age of sexual consent, which varies from 16 to 18 depending on the state [1].

* Slaves, sure - although that's more of a societal wide situation in Rome rather than something "mostly in the bedroom" and it's hardly all that long ago since Civil Rights was a legal right within the US (and slavery | effectively slavery is still legal within parts of the world).

* "Women as legal property" - we just covered slavery, see [2] for Woman as Citizens in Rome - no votes or political office, but a number did rule as Empress and many kicked arse in terms of power and negotiations.

* Rape - as is the case today it was agaianst the law but the privileged could get away with it re: slaves and those of much lesser status .. nonetheless, see [3]

There are famous tales of rape in Roman times, of course, just as there are in the US.

You can come up with decent figures. And i think it is worth it not just for a resume but monthly lookbacks

So multiple engineers on hand for 8 hours - let's say 5 engineers. That's 5 person days. A deployment a month (cos anything that painful gets done less often) gives 60 person days, at something like 2x daily salary of engineer (assume 500pd for easy maths) and you saved company 60,000 usd a year whilst increasing reliablity and speed.

Nice one
Apple seem to believe what you’re talking about is supported via Home Sharing [1]. I have attempted to get this to work with a little success but I wonder if it was too little too late for you?

I've had really good results from the two in LLVM (one works on loops, one within basic blocks). Optimal loop body when the pointers had alignment metadata attached, though at the time it failed to unroll the tail.

Using intrinsics with the control flow in C or C++ works really well - you get the right instruction selection from the intrinsics, easy to reason about control flow and the compiler deals with register allocation (and possibly instruction scheduling) which are a pain to do by hand.
This is an unnecessarily hostile reading. I just wasn't sure that it was the fastest lens at the time, and I didn't want to say something incorrect.
I'm surprised the article doesn't mention social security. A young person making $2,000 a month is paying $240 a month towards social security (half directly and half through their employer), and will likely never see any of it once they reach retirement age.
Sure thing. But how should I use BigDecimal optimally when performing operations between them? Which MathContext to set when dealing with money and specifically converting between amounts and percentages? I can't seem to find references online. Ideally I'd like some theorem that proves me I need a precision up to n for say amounts in the order of magnitude of ten billions.

For one, communistic and communist-adjacent ideas predate the formalised theoretical framework by hundreds of years, while the formal concepts have over one and a half centuries head start on MAGA/QAnon.

If the last 50 years have taught us anything, it’s that even the most egregiously stupid ideas can take hold in society to become unquestioned axioms among significant chunks of the population.

As for your personal attacks, they say way more about you than me.
I’ll give you that. For the people who are writing documentation IN XML OR JSON it’s bound to be a big step up.
Average income in China is about $15,000/yr, so $90,000 is pretty damn good.
If you have subsequent expenses that require credit card debt, or a car loan, it's better to have cash savings available to reduce that. You can't unpay a 3.5% loan to get back money to pay off a 20% loan.
There are also podcasts you can only listen to on Spotify. Also absurd.
Sure, if that was the title of the article. Instead its saying its ready to replace a full time position, which its not even close to.

And this is something people have been saying about things like AI and crypto for years now. They've both made some interesting developments, and they both face serious hurdles (some fundamental).

AI obviously has a ton of real world use cases, but overhyping things like this doesnt actually help.

The suitable key would be to allow users to grant their own fine-grained entitlements to applications using their own self-signed certificate. The process should be suitably involved and complex enough to scare off regular users who may be attempting to do it under the direction of a third party (who may be trying to trick them) but it should be available to users who know what they’re doing.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "context" but the spec is very clear that a block creates scope, and the end removes scope.

> The first example is a junior level social worker -- that's fine, but come now: we all know that social work is not a high-paying industry.

This is an unfair dismissal. Most industries are not high paying, therefore most workers are not earning enough to save. You're basically saying "they're not saving because they're not earning more!" Also, what is your proposed solution here? To stop having social workers?

> someone with three jobs, who still manages to save $200 a month!

Saving $200 a month is basically nothing, especially in NYC. It would take multiple years just to save a few months worth of rent.
Thanks, lots of helpful links there. Much appreciated.
Although quickly checking, I suspect they could be over an order of magnitude more expensive than the hobbiest equivalents.
That’s a great writeup of what it’s like to learn to do this job ahaha.

Everbody goes through this I think (Arguably I’m still going through this…)
Yes. There's the concept of a "taobao village" in China where you have entire rural communities of online merchants supplying smaller towns/villages that otherwise wouldn't really use ecommerce.

And the funny thing is these even exist in Germany now. In Duisburg I met some Chinese taobao merchants years ago who'd settled as expats in the city because it has particularly strong ties to the country as there's a direct freight train route to Chongqing.
I wish it was as clear as string vs float, but it isn't. People get stuck in jails for 3-Undefined years all the time, all over the US. The only difference is "big state owned" and "many sizes incorporated area owned". Some states have laws that define this clearly, some don't. In many cases, even though it might be against the law, a prison is over-filled, so they outsource to county jails, and in others, the jail is over-filled so they outsource to another incarceration facility. It's a shit show, and I feel really bad for people that are caught in it.
I mean, sure. But my point remains: 90k is not even remotely a lot of money in NYC, even if it's above the median.

Anyone who manages to save 24k a year on a 90k salary in NYC -- where the median studio apartment will set you back more than 2k a month and coffee and lunch out can easily exceed $20 -- is doing a good job.
That was an absolutely fascinating story, thank you for sharing. Very redolent of “there’s no such thing as society.”

Although my politics aren’t theirs, I don’t hate the Reagan and Thatcher types. I don’t think they were bad people per se (or at least not any worse than anyone else who is capable of ascending to the apex of political power). But I do think they changed some things in their respective cultures for the worse, and those are things that we’re still grappling with today.
Tbh most of the people at work whose relationships I know about are with someone who also works at FAANG or a FAANG-alike. Lots of 2 SWE couples.
There's a happy medium, though. Overly-photorealistic controls are actually counter-productive, especially when incompetently chosen. For example, at the height of Apple's cheeseball skeuomorphism was Game Center, which featured such things as "velvet" card-table surfaces with "painted" labels on them... but those labels were actually controls in some cases. Now who sits at a blackjack table and tries to interact with the paint on the velvet in front of him?

Another example was the "LCD" display at the top of iTunes, depicted as having a transparent cover over it with a sheen and highlights. Unbeknownst to most users (I suspect), some of the labels in that display were actually clickable controls. WTF? I've owned numerous audio components with displays behind clear plastic windows, and I've never tried to poke at one with my finger.

I think mid-'90s GUIs hit the right combination of graphical (not photographical) with universal visual cues. Buttons had only three or four monochrome shades, but had beveled edges whose shadows inverted when the button was "depressed."

I'm glad to see some backlash against the lazy obscurity of "flat UI," and a return to some proper demarcation of controls.
I understand that this is a demo and it's goal is estimating how good the AI could become in future. However given that we still need a SQL analyst to engineer the prompt, did ChatGPT save time to the analyst or increased the amount of work?

What would you tell your kids, if they ever ask you what they should be chasing?
I've always found using varying fonts and font sizes very useful (for 30+ years, starting with X11 on Suns).

i also loathe (or rather my eyesight does) the Apple font rendering with antialiasing, and forced zoom on laptop displays so native resolution isn't offered, but Windows 11 (probably earlier versions too) and Linux (fedora and arch at least, daily driver on Apple hardware) font rendering feels great.
People say that again and again but at the end of the day, unless everyone collectively stops tipping, or the government intervenes nothing will change. And since the government won't make any progress the only thing consumers can do is withhold their tip.
They are already here. We can haggle over error rate and incidents per million miles or what have you but that is more an argument about safety and suitability.

Traffic pollution impairs brain function
The article may suck but every dataset I've seen supports the notion that average-net-worth-at-same-age took a sharp dive with Gen X, was even worse for Millennials, and is yet worse than that for Gen Z. IOW each generation has saved less than the Boomers when they were the same age, and the effect's gotten worse with each new generation.

Perhaps unsurprisingly—and, maybe even explaining most of the effect—home ownership rates at-same-age, by generation, look pretty similar. More 25-year-old Boomers owned their home, than Gen Xers, than Millennials, than Zers, and there's no later-in-life sharp uptick for those generations that makes up the gap. Worse with each generation.
"lickable" I think was the phrase Steve Jobs used for it.

Remember that Apple had just made a killing selling jelly-bean aesthetic iMacs (running classic Mac OS 9, even). The Aqua stuff matched the physical case design of those machines.

It all goes along with the late 90s / Y2K times, intense colours. "Run Lola Run" and Fifth Element and late 90s club culture and whatnot. Nothing restrained about that era in terms of style. It was boom times end-of-millennium and that aesthetic continued even for a bit after the .com crash and 9/11 deflated the tires.

Also as others have pointed out, it had to do with "we can do this now'; the graphics hardware and the software stack (showing off "Quartz" etc)

I'm not dismissing the person. I'm saying: if the author's purpose is to generalize from this example to all 20-somethings, it's obviously biased. Placing this example first was an editorial decision, and it's designed to elicit sympathy. Imagine if the author had led with the 28-year old NYC resident who saves 2k a month.

Also, I just want to add: I'm not engaging you in a debate about whether or not social workers "should" be paid more. I don't run the world.

No I agree the problem is MUCH more the state sending people to prison for absurdly long terms without cause make the state, rather than any individual, a (usually tiny) amount of money without embarrassing politicians.

That problem is endemic, and occurs everywhere, and is also individuals enriching themselves, just a bit more indirect.

But these individuals that DO abuse the system for personal enrichment, they are the worst of all.

A better solution for redness is asking them to prescribe you some NSAID like Ketorolac (generic) or Prolensa (brand). Tell them your eyes get red/inflamed sometimes and they should give it to you. Very safe drop to even use for a few weeks straight so it's a great to have around for say a party/date/event where your eyes are bloodshot for some reason.

Of course if you have pain or feel something is wrong do not use this to mask it, go in for a check.

> AFAIK TOTP doesn't provide protection against phishing / MITM attacks if the attacker is able to response within the time window (usually ~2x 30 seconds).

This assumes a sophisticated attack, which is absolutely possible (I’ve even seen it happen), but is less likely than a form that just captures information. In any case, in the attack you describe, storing the TOTP externally doesn’t provide any additional protection over storing it within the password manager.

> EDIT: Totally forgot - it also protects you if your password manager is breached, assuming you don't store it in the password manager

Yeah that’s the entire point of the article. But managing TOTP separately can be a bit painful. So I’m saying that if you want a bit of additional security without any inconvenience, there are still benefits to storing a TOTP in your password manager opposed to having no MFA at all.

The comparison was to a software engineer, which earns more than $15,000 in China. And also with a 50% margin, which is extremely generous. Most margins are closer to 10% - 20% in manufacturing.
$90k isn't too bad though.

London has similar conditions to that and far fewer people are earning $90k+.

How about 'nobody can freely rip my subscriber only files' but free files are free to be ripped? Seems like a reasonable interpretation to me. Even more reasonably, I might expect that I can freely rip my files regardless of DRM.
Yes it is called inflation. That 3.5% loan principle and payment has become 2% less valuable most years, and recently it has become 9% less valuable. So if that money was put into buying assets that the OP needed, that would be risk free gain.

Also the tax deduction you point out is nullified by paying off the loan. The deduction is on student loan interest. So now that is lost every year. If someone qualifies for that deduction and inflation is normal/high it is pretty hard for 3.5% to be worth paying off early.
Saving $200 a month just means you won't have to go into debt when you need to hire a plumber or auto mechanic or have a very-minor, insured ER visit.

[EDIT] Assuming you don't have more than ~2 such urgent expenses per year, that is. And none worse than that.
I’ve used the Apple podcasts app to pre-download content for offline listening, only to drive out to the middle of nowhere with no data service only to have the app refuse to load.

It would be much less aggravating to have an app which crashes on launch and never gives the appearance of doing anything, whatsoever.
