Honestly I'm sick of seeing people post this kind of thing. There's _all kinds_ of reasons people can not have the "expected" amount of savings at _any_ age. Medical. Divorce. Other life disasters. Failed investments. Business failure.

These kinds of questions frankly just lead to victim blaming and expose the asker as either (a) having grown up wealthy and staying that way their entire life, or (b) completely callous.

Depends on the night, obviously, but "very cold" is a safe assertion.

The first day there I had a hard time, thinking that my casual cold-weather gear would keep me comfortable was a mistake I learned the hard way tracking the northern lights on a mountaintop at 2 in the morning on the coldest night they'd had in 50 years.

But, the next day I picked up a pair of (expensive) sweatpants to act as a third layer, and I was just fine. Toasty enough that at night times I'd casually take off a hat or some gloves.

If you absolutely hate cold weather, maybe check it out in summer time. If you're willing to layer (and not just throw on dumb layers like I did) then it's totally manageable.

I found the magic combo to be:

* Thermalsilk top and bottom base layer
* An intermediate layer for very cold nights (https://www.icewear.is/us/fodurland-wool-underwear-baselayer)
* I got away with those two and a pair of Amazon Basics chinos, but a hard shell outer layer is probably smarter if you're trekking through snow

Otherwise, normal layering rules apply. Have a scarf and gloves (ideally, with liners) and a good hat, then Thermalsilk and a winter coat were all I needed, but I would often have a niceish sweatshirt layered in there as we often had dinner plans and I didn't want to violate any dress-code norms.

I think you're misreading that 42%. "Foreign buyers purchased 98,600 properties" compared with "Overall in the U.S., existing-home sales totaled 6.12 million in 2021".

The 42% number you're citing is the percentage of foreign buyers living abroad out of all foreign buyers. So 100k/6.1M or 1.6% of homes in the US were bought by foreign buyers, and of that 1.6% we see that 42% of those live abroad.

That is quantity of homes, if you'd like to look at dollar values of those purchases, it is also given as "International buyers accounted for 2.6% of the $2.3 trillion in existing-home sales during that time period."

This is kinda the opposite problem of those who reject immigration "because {insert country name here} is full" — unless you're living in a city-sate it isn't even remotely full, it's just that most of the people have chosen live close to other people, which both makes it feel crowded and means that goods and services which kinda need high density environments are actually fine.
That wiki graph does not show what you say. There are multiple place in the curve that don't follow your theory. And by places, I mean for example the stretch from 1980 to 2000.
The Yubikey firmware is open but the problem is that you can't overwrite it anymore. They did this during the Yubikey NEO age, the first ones could still be updated. They say they did it to avoid authentication bypass attacks which makes sense but there should be other ways to do that. And the updatability keeps it current and also allows for verified builds.

About a year after they changed it though there was a huge vulnerability in the Yubikey where it failed to actually check the pincode making the security useless. Which proved locking the firmware was a bad idea IMO. They ended up having to replace tons of them which could have been updated. I was hoping they'd bring updatable firmware back but they didn't.

Pretty similar to NYC in winter (because Gulf Stream). But then, I don't consider NYC especially cold for the most part; it's basically mid-Atlantic relative to New England much less northern Midwest.
Isn't Iceland inhabited by like 340k people? Maybe they're testing the waters or trying to limit how many people end up moving there.

Overall I agree. DNs would use Portugal's D7 to move in (in an exception of what the visa was originally intended to), but then Portugal introduced a DN visa which now requires a much higher income than what D7 requires, I think 4x times more than D7.
Yea, we muricans need to focus on letting fox and myface poison our minds!
That’s not what your reference is saying. It’s saying 42% purchases * by foreign buyers * are from investors who live outside the USA. Not existing home purchases.
I had a look and the source cited for it being the most efficent self-powered means of transportation is from March 1973; I wonder if there's been any new developments since then.

Random things off the top of my head: Some time ago they built a self-propelled helicopter, which also used bike technology (gears etc). I vaguely recall that people did state that rowing is what you should use to get the most energy out of a human body - it is (or can be) a full-body motion, including the large muscles in the back and legs and the smaller ones in the arms, while cycling mainly uses the legs. But the mechanism to translate rowing energy into the propellers was too heavy, or something like that.

Actually it might have been a HN thread. Here's one from 10 years ago, and it just so happens that I had made my account by then so this was probably it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6028326
The title implies "young and liberal, therefore depressed". Correlation does not imply causation.

Perhaps it's the other way around: "Depressed, therefore liberal". Liberalism is the policy that advocates change. If you're unhappy, you probably want things to change.

"People don't want to accept it" seems incompatible with "it's already normalized" to me

The message isn't directed towards people for whom it's normalized, right? Therefore "it's normalized, get with it" is an act of further normalization.

I've recently started thinking about new features in terms of:
- Increasing revenue (by bringing in new customers or reducing churn)
- Reducing my support load

That's basically all I care about now as a one-person business. Too much support load means I get burnt out and can't work on the stuff I enjoy (coding). Too little revenue means I can't continue operating the business.

By thinking about the features in these terms it has helped me be clear about which features are really important to me right now. So if my support load is too high, I work on features that will reduce it.

The first animation is sort of wrong. To turn right on a bicycle, you actually steer slightly left (and vice versa). It's very jarring to see the wheel rotated in the same direction of the turn at extreme lean angles -- if you do that in the real world, you'll crash.

192kHz is overkill of the overkill, but 10bit, seriously?! That is 1024 levels for the whole dynamic range, you are cutting it down to its 64th fraction man! With classical music where it is not filled up to the level of clipping but silent parts contain plenty of details you really must be joking with 10 bits or perhaps rely on listening experience of rap with through the roof bass and inarticulate jabber, there even 6bits may be too much, I give you that.

Also the standard 44.1kHz is good to have so the waves could be followed with little deviation and for the sake of reproduction. 192kHz is really snake oil but please do not jump over the horse to the other side in the frenzy of compensating.

you would have used leather belts. it would have been a pita, they stretch pretty fast...but its feasible I think.
Some points to consider:

1. TikTok has a "heat" button. It can make anyone go viral. This is not uncommon to other platforms artificially boosting some content, but this is much more deliberate than the other methods. https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilybaker-white/2023/01/20/tik...

2. Persuasion is two things: exposure and frequency. The native way that TikTok works allows for this to happen easily. Imagine a tool that is very good at this being controlled by a government that is hostile to most of the rest of the world.

3. The idea of the open internet was based on actors working in good faith. The CCP does not do this (the Great Firewall of China).

4. Bytedance (TikTok's parent company, and directly controlled by the CCP) has donated substantial amounts of money to various US-based political caucuses.
To add, sections 9 and 10 read to me (very paraphrased)

"Any telecom, etc, product where someone in the parent post's list has partial ownership, including voting stocks and has >= 1 million users"

So, that includes a lot of video games (Genshin Impact, League of Legends, Gunfire Reborn, etc) and also Reddit and Epic Games, maybe? I'm sure an argument would be made that since the CEO of Telegram was born in Russia, it would count, too, somehow.

Edit: whoever downvoted the above comment, that's literally section 8B

Addendum: I'm not a lawyer, I'm just a layperson trying to read this thing.
> I was thinking the same thing. My understanding was prior to iPhone, phones were purchased outright, typically costing a couple hundred dollars, and there wasn't such a thing as paying off the phone as part of your monthly cell phone bill.

This was absolutely a thing before the iPhone. Many carriers offered Blackberries, Palm Treos, and even higher end dumbphones and featurephones at discounts when you signed a service contract.
And when did it get added? Or have I been misreading this for years? I always thought the label was "BRIC".
> It's not even much power: [...] that’s 5.461kWh/day

I wouldn't call that not much power. My average (over past 10 years) entire house usage is around 15kWh/day. So that's nearly 40% of the usage of the house. But if there's two drivers per household now it's about 75% incremental power usage per household. That's pretty substantial.
It is not unusual that India and China are at odds sometimes. It is however a big mystery why EU and USA get along so well. The globe should feel a little too small for these ones.

This is really cool. I immediately saw (t%w, t%h) for wraparound (it's neat how the cycles interact). The bouncing, as he says, seems trickier. I thought about a 2w x 2h box, but stopped there.

His suggestion of starting with 1D was great, made it much easier to think about! I drew a graph of x against t, and worked out |t%(2w) - w| (starts rightmost) Can use absolute value, no need for ternary op. (In hindsight, graphing y against t would be easier to visualize.)

I'm always amazed at how cartesian coordinates are independent (despite being so by definition). Descartes deserves more credit for this eponymous fundamental insight.

On our roadmap to add an integration with SecurityHub (e.g. piping ZeusCloud findings to it, if that's the workflow you prefer)

More broadly though, we've found SecurityHub to be too disorganized - findings from Config, Guardduty, etc. are piped into it without much contextual information to really prioritize and remediate. The result is just a laundry list of items.

That's a big part of the problem we're looking to solve with ZeusCloud - unified dashboards for these different types of risks, along with context about surrounding risks and context about the cloud environment.
> $80k/year is rich? That’s less than the median household income in a half-dozen states.

(1) EUR 80,000 > USD 80,000 (about USD 86,700)

(2) We’re discussing individual wages not household income of households where the average is >1 wage-earner.

(3) The highest US state median wage is a little over USD 80k, and less than EUR 80k.

(4) The US is a rich country, so, yes, median wage earners in the US as a whole (much less the median wage earner of the state scoring highest on that metric) are rich by any non-US-specific standard.
I don't know about other countries, but immigration targets in Canada are trending towards attracting 500,000 immigrants per year by 2025. Just because we have alot of openings doesn't mean it's easy though... there are several paths, and most of them are designed to favour folks who will integrate well socially and economically (and that doesn't just mean rich white folks, it means more along the lines of skilled labour and the means to sustain your family while they get settled).

The linked post doesn't actually say "If you don't pay your credit card bill we disable your iTunes/iCloud"

What it actually says is "If you don't pay your credit card bill, we decline new transactions since you're at your credit limit. If your iCloud uses your Apple Card and that transaction is declined, then your iCloud may be disabled."

As suspicious as the US federal government is, I don't think what those companies do is as tightly coupled with the government as TikTok and China.

That said, I'm not sure I would lament a body blow to social media specifically.

Let me put the questions to you directly:

Do you think the Chinese government is generally hostile to the long term success of Western liberalism?

Do you think the Chinese government has meaningful influence on the behavior of TikTok or its recommendation engine?

Do you think TikTok data on its hundreds of millions of users is available for general analysis to the Chinese government?

Even JioSaavn, which is focused on Indian popular film music, doesn't do anything special. It's a bit more similar to classical music than American-style pop in terms of organization. Music directors are responsible for the entire album of a film, with singers being brought on for a track or two. So one might want to slice by music director, just like looking at all Bach pieces. It's not quite the case with pop producers, who are usually behind-the-scenes. Fans of Indian popular music often follow their favorite music directors, even if they have little interest in the films the music is a part of.

However, even then, this slight difference is well papered-over by just including the music director in the list of artists who made a song.

Indian classical music, however, has a wholly separate and more intricate form of organization. You'd at least need raga and the properties of the raga (like the dominant rasa & associated time of day), along with the various singers and instrumentalists in the ensemble and their instruments. It would be great to search for "morning"-raga-based Carnatic vocal concerts with the lead singer being Sudha Ragunathan.
Not OP, but also almost 50. The ability to save doesn't tend to scale with income or age. Major costs like taxes, housing, healthcare and so on very efficiently and elastically scale up to soak your income, even as that income is rising. If you're living in the Bay Area and making a "typical" Bay Area comp, your rent cost is likely set by knowledgable local landlords to maximize the amount of that income they can sponge up. Health insurance works similarly.

Of course there are other good reasons for not being able to save. Medical debt, education debt, child support, parental support and so on.

Without guaranteed pensions, saving takes deliberate effort, deliberate avoidance of lifestyle creep, a lot of health luck, and a lot of luck in the market. Those savings vehicles you do manage to take advantage of, like 401(k)s and so on, are mostly inaccessible outside of the context of retiring. So anything you put into them is gone until you're elderly.
The question you should ask, as a fellow European, is whether reducing influence from the US government, a stable but somewhat flawed democracy, is worth the price of losing access to US social media. Think in geopolitical terms, with all this entails of long-term divergence in cultural values, trade and other forms of economic compatibility.

And whether this judgement is significantly different from whether reducing influence from the CCP, an obviously totalitarian government that does not balk at overtly undermining of democratic values within your own borders, is worth losing access to TikTok.
The article in not about BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) which still has an aggregate GPD a little more than half the G7 one (at least according to a cursory google search) but about BRICS-extended which include a lot of petro-states and south-east asian countries.

An interesting article but the title is clickbait.
How easy do these deferred payment systems make it to manage the cognitive load of such volatile "long-term" payments? Do people just set up autopay?

Having a set of monthly rent/utility costs is fine, cause they aren't particularly volatile.

Credit card microloans are also fine because they are all managed under 1 balance.
