If you're looking for realism in your apocalyptic nightmare scenarios, there's an ooooold DOS game called Bravo Romeo Delta you should track down. I wrote a little bit about it here: http://jasonlefkowitz.net/2014/11/choreographing-armageddon-...

Work on cultivating your interest in other people - literally make an effort to figure people out, what makes them tick, how they became who they are or did something they find interesting. You'll have to make an effort to start small talk conversations but don't put pressure on yourself for them to blossom into friendships, that's something that happens but itself later on - and I'm sure it will happen. People like a good listener! I find fursuits a bit baffling, but certainly not boring, so don't be so hard on yourself.

It's good to have a solid job but it's good to maintain a vibrant outside life too - if you're working so much that you don't have time to make friends then you need to tweak your work-life balance a bit, not least because it might be gradually lowering your productivity.
Seems like:

- circle: city
- triangle: factory
- square: military base
- big plane: bomber
- little plane: fighter
- things with rocket trails: ICBMs
- floaty diamond things: satellites (which shoot down ICBMs)

The square in the middle of each team represents the current defcon. Assuming you start at defcon 5, when an enemy unit crosses the big blinking circle, drop to defcon 4. When a unit crosses the next blinking circle, drop to defcon 3. I haven't figured out yet how the escalation proceeds after that.

By avoiding the question about your full-time job, I get the impression that you might be experienced in some other field.

Which in turn suggests that you've taken on two big projects, (1) to learn a lot of technologies; and (2) to build an application. Both are commendable projects. But as you have found a huge undertaking.

To complete the application, you might need to recruit people with the required skills rather than trying to integrate and test everything on your own.

Once the application is completed, are you going to be selling it yourself? Considering that you claim to have domain knowledge this might be another reasonable guess.

That [currently] is not Zenefits' business model. Their entire premise is that you can practically use any providers you want for your benefits such as various 401K providers, various health care plans, etc., as well as any payroll vendor. Zenefits makes its money as a broker when you choose to go through Zenefits to get things such as payroll or benefits administration services. But the key is that Zenefits itself is not providing the said services. They are paid on commission or rev. share with the providers that ultimately service Zenefits customers.

While they could become a payroll provider themselves, that isn't really their mission. As well, it's not so trivial to write some software "over the weekend" and have a solid payroll system. While payroll companies actually have very little regulation (this is true, and somewhat surprising), it is complex to build a payroll system that can accommodate all the various needs of clients. Just to name a few things to get started: Hourly, salary, pay cycles, 1099, fed/state/local taxes and tax codes and rates, time off tracking, punch in/punch out, check printing and electronic deposit, paper and electronic tax filing, tax payments, garnishments, time off tracking, pre/post-tax deductions, worker's compensation rates, union dues, and the list just goes on from there.
Addiction is a problem. That doesn't mean prohibition is a solution, if that's what you're getting at.

> Their decision to spring for a new sofa set was, if anything, a bet on the most optimistic arc for their family. Donald was getting regular work, sometimes making $500 in a week..The love seat and sofa retailed, together, for about $1,500.

Why exactly is a family with a maximum of $25,000/year in (unreliable) income buying a new sofa that costs $1,500 upfront?

I make more than 4x what they do in reliable income and have no dependents, yet I got my sofa $300 used on Craigslist. These people need to learn some basic personal finance.
The premise is quite broken. The cold war was 'cold' because the conflicts were small and localized. Two sides exchanging ICBMs would be a global thermonuKular war, not a cold one.

These people are making 250-500/week/family, which isn't a lot obviously, but also isn't so little as to be permanently destitute - provided you're not signing away your income with stupid things like this run by dirtbags claiming to be serving the lower-income population.

If you spend it right, you can get out of spiraling debt and save up for a better future, even with only 1000-2000 monthly income - but not while "lucrative" options like these tempt you into getting a new phone and a new tv when you really can't afford it.

It's hard to resist pointing out the obvious without sounding cruel and harsh, but regardless of what's fair and what's not, it's never right to spend outside of your means. That 1500 sofa sure does look nice and comfy, but you're trading away any chance at escaping your life in a trailer park if you buy it on a 1000/month salary - and that's without the 300% interest rate.

The problem is, stupidity in spending isn't restricted to a specific subset of the population. It's the reason why blue collar workers, white collar employees, lawyers, doctors, engineers, everyone can fall victim to credit card debt and wind up bankrupt and with nothing - even (or perhaps, especially) multimillionaire sports stars. You'll never have enough to own everything you see, but America makes it easy to obtain it anyway. A better car, a bigger house, a nicer education - just sign here, and it's yours!

Edit: yes, it's really (technically) possible to persevere and save your way out of even the most meager of salaries, even when opportunities are withheld from those that need it most. This article, "only a constant factor worse than optimal," written by someone that I suspect might be the smartest person I've ever encountered, illustrates the secret: https://www.mail-archive.com/kragen-tol@canonical.org/msg003...

Interest rate tends to reflect the risk of investment. Rich people are less risky to lend money to than poor people.
This sort of thing should be regulated. There is a line between healthy capitalism and crass exploitation of the poor by the rich. The poor and unaware need to be protected.
AWS now has NFS; I don't know how slow it would be over the Internet.
Well,

As they say, it's a particular segment of poor.

I personally shop at thrift stores and take hand-me-downs. I buy cheap laptops and load Linux.

But all this takes time. The three-part-time job segment of workers can't do that and winds-up in the arms of these people. It almost makes that third job worthless - the problem is people want a lifestyle where they feel middle class.

Right. None of this says "Jewish scientists were relegated to unappealing theoretical roles". Atomic physics (which, incidentally, Lenard had no quarrel with) was hot stuff, Einstein was a global superstar well before Nazis came to have significant influence, etc. When they did gain influence, they just started getting rid of Jewish scientists, among others.

I believe the better your credit history, the better you look in the eyes of a creditor. Delinquency rates are generally based on your credit score, averaged over many borrowers and allows creditors to make quick decisions.

The more likely you are to pay back a loan, the better your interest rate, as the creditor is assured they will make a complete return on their investment.

When the chance of you disappearing or declaring bankruptcy is high, you are considered high risk and so your interest rate is increased to make up for that risk. At least that is how I understand lending.
It was meant to be a rhetorical question. But yes this is generally true. But they can afford the interest rate much less than rich people (poor people).
I actually work two jobs right now. One's a day job with a two hour commute (each way), and I'm trying to help one of my friends start a business too. Only the first one pays.

I do need to spend more time on myself, but there are too many demands for my time right now :(
I'm sorry but I've been dirt broke, with family (wife n kids). I'm talking about making the choice between buying bubble gum and having enough to pay the bus fare home. Never in a million years would I buy brand new furniture, ipads, god damn -speakers-, if I were that broke again. Food, rent and utilities comes first. Priorities people.

So these business are not really preying on desperate people, but stupid people with poor impulse control.
No money to employ people but I really wouldn't want to anyway. I only want to operate as a one man band. Despite the challenge I really enjoy the learning process.
Because they are lower risk. And really, it's not so much because they are rich, but they tend to be the part of the population with a better record with their credit. If you have good credit and are relatively poor you can still get a low interest rate.

I really don't understand why people don't get this. If you have $100 to lend and want a return on your investment and you had to charge everyone the same interest rate, would you lend it to the person with better credit or worse? Obviously better credit. So if you want to lend to the person with worse credit you are going to charge them more because of their history they will default more. The risk is priced in to the interest rate.
Ah, I wondered if you were serious or not. But yes, it's another one of life's cruel injustices that helps money beget money

Nobody wants to buy items for amounts two or three times what they’d cost at a retail store. But when Abbott did her shopping in February, she didn’t have the money to make even a small lump-sum payment for anything of decent quality, even on Craigslist. She couldn’t buy via a layaway plan; Wal-Mart offers that option only during the holiday season. Perhaps she could have saved up the money on her own, but whenever she has tried to do so, her stash has been wiped out to handle daily needs.

“Rent-to-own was basically all we could do,” Abbott, 33, said.

Yeah, I wouldn't do it either, but I'm not in their shoes and I don't need that $150 this week to make rent.

Meanwhile an entire industry is built that preys on people for whom this seems a good option. They're poor and they're misinformed - that sucks. And people make bad decisions all the time. But let's save our derision for the company gleefully charging a poor family four grand for a couch.

Sometimes people get overexcited and only see the upside of things. I.e. I just got a job, hey, I got money, I can spend some. It's normal, albeit, shortsighted thinking.

So, while I would scout for a used sofa, desk, etc... I'd splurge on a nice dinner with friends when I probably should have held back a bit.

The other thing, is there is this psychological oppression where people feel obliged to act like others in society. So you think in relative terms rather than absolute. If Jane has a new computer, well, so should I --even if there is no reason the three year old system is insufficient.

Keeping up appearances is a hell of a drug, to paraphrase.
Why does this need to be regulated? This isn't gouging on a need for medicine or food. Having is $1500 couch isn't a necessity. This business provides a good service. Decently nice furniture you can rent and return. It says how much the total cost is if you rent weekly until you own it.

Yes I do take the black triangle approach to development. A long period of solving problems and de-risking and learning stuff. Nothing tangible to show but a bunch of solved problems.

Next step, tie all the solved problems together into a working solution. Relatively speaking it's actually the easy bit.
There is a portion of the rich who do this too. When Michael Jackson died, his family came and went to take some of the furniture but had to bring it back. Apparently it was rented.
The one tends to beget the other in a downward spiral, though. And usurious practices don't really help matters.

Factories are triangles. Cities are circles. Bases are squares. In the center is a more different square with the defcon. Cities are required to supply factories. Factories are required to make new units. Bases are required to launch units.

Fighters target bombers and fighters. Satellites target ICBMs. Bombers and ICBMs target factories, cities, bases, and defcon. Bombers target in that order; ICBMs seem to target randomly.

Game over when defcon is destroyed.

Launching an ICBM requires defcon <= 3. The choice to launch is a bit random at defcon 3 and 2 but they all launch at defcon = 1.

Defcon changes to 4, 3, 2, and 1 if a bombers crosses the circular boundaries (radar?) around the center. You can see this happen when the boundary flashes.
Technically, yes. It's meant to escalate from cold to hot as munitions stockpiles build.

But that doesn't make for a very interesting presentation, so it goes direct to Hot.
Personally, I think the opening sequence can't be topped by anything in the context of Cold War.

Because credit isn't an indicator of future repayment (income is more so). The amount of people who defaulted on their home mortgages when they were underwater after the housing collapse who also had good credit prior is not insignificant.
Because they can't do any cash payments for any kind of sofa. But they just about thought they might be able to afford 40$ a week on this: http://www.buddyrents.com/linebacker-power-sofa-reclining-lo...

Of course, that's with a 100 week term for a total of 4000$.

America values material possessions a lot and when you're actually poor, you can't afford any. Places like this dangle small "affordable" amounts to people who can't do the math. And a big part of why they might not do that math is shame.
It's much cheaper to build a server into each ground station.
A classic quote from Abraham Lincoln sums this up:

a used 32-gigabyte, early model iPad costs $1,439.28, paid over 72 weeks.

As you say, a business like this preys on stupid people. They are trying to be thrifty but have no idea how much things should cost or how to handle more than minimal amounts of cash. It's pure exploitation.
What really affects the price is what someone's best alternative is. If you have no alternatives, you get exploited.

There should be greater regulation for what is essentially usury. Second, home economics needs to be drilled more throughout school. From elementary to highschool. Get kids versed in everyday economics. Many are practically illiterate with regard to home ec.

Brainwash them, instill the notion of managing money more productively throughout schooling so it becomes second nature. The cold reality of economics could even have the secondary effect of 'scaring' (rather bring reality to light) into taking their education seriously. As opposed to, my parents make me go, I'd rather drop out, school isn't for me --a mentality I saw when growing up. Maybe kids are wiser these days.
That being said, the smart financial decision, in your position, might be to relocate to a different city with significantly cheaper housing, education, food, etc. That has the social/emotional downside of not being as near to friends, family or the things that you like in your city, which may not be it worth it to you.

One difficulty with this is that moving somewhere cheaper often also means moving somewhere that work is harder to find and/or doesn't pay as well, so you can easily find that your gains are mostly cancelled out and you're just saving up even more slowly relative to more expensive areas with better paid work.

In any case, as you say, it's just not worth it to me to move somewhere far from the region where most of my family and friends live, my hobbies are well catered for, and work/schools/other practical facilities are readily available.

What do you think the best solution to this problem would be?

Build more houses -- lots and lots more houses. It's really as simple as that.

Here in the UK at present, we build very roughly half as many houses per year as most credible commentators reckon we need to support demand, and we have been underdeveloping for decades now. There is no need for artificial "help to buy" schemes, punitive taxes on landlords or holiday home owners or people with large homes, or any of that other complicated economic stuff the great and powerful keep talking about. Just build enough houses for everyone to find somewhere to live and the rest will take care of itself.

In reality, this means fixing our horrendously broken and onerous planning system. Right now, private individuals are up against a barrage of complexity and ambiguity if they want to build/extend themselves, so most new homes are built as part of large-scale commercial developments. Those developments typically receive planning consent on the basis of having a certain proportion of so-called affordable housing -- itself something of a joke in a city like mine, because no teacher or nurse or office junior can actually afford even an entry-level place -- but then the developers have a whole box of tricks for managing to build/sell the high-end, expensive, more profitable homes first and somehow a lot of the affordable ones never quite seem to get built.
