I believe the FairPhone is pretty solid.

Not as good, but Apple stuff is a big step up from Google and Samsung stuff wrt spying.

The person I replied to should not label those people the enemy then. As I said, he is painting with much too wide of a brush.

Median household income in Colorado Springs is $83k/yr. Said 3 bedroom home for $265k is quite affordable on $83k/yr.

unless you have a fully remote job

And if this is the case, you are doing even better and have a shitload more options.

you have to choose more slum-y areas

Here is a random home I found after only a few seconds of looking. 3 bedroom home in Colorado Springs for $265k. Easily affordable at the stated $100k/yr income.

You can’t afford to buy a single family home on $100k/yr in my area.

you have to choose more slum-y areas

Lots of homes are easily affordable with that income. Buy elsewhere.

Those who live off property (aka others’ labour) are.

This is everyone with a 401(k) for retirement. Ie, what they will be loving off of. Not sure why you are labeling the vast majority of people the enemy…

Hell, since you are including ‘other’s labour’, then this would also include anyone living off Social Security, a pension, disability, etc. All of that money comes from other’s labour.

Your brush is way, way, way too broad. You have marked almost everyone the enemy at some point in their lives.

A very good chair is important, it doesn’t have to be a $1,000 chair, but, never returning to the back-crushing racing chair.

Man, I got excited for a moment they brought back the SE line, but at an even cheaper price.

I knew it couldn’t be true, not with Apple, but, it is what I first thought.

I’m a big fan of the Keep It Simple (KISS) approach, and went with Password Safe. Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. It’s big thing is it just makes an encrypted password file which then you can sync between devices however you like (Box, Dropbox, etc)

Which one works on all browsers including mobile safari and mobile Firefox?

It has an auto-type and copy feature, so no need for browser support. Though, the main criticism of this offering is if you want a ton of features and don’t care about KISS.

These strike me as a much better plan than in-road wireless.

Though, I wonder what the durability of these are compared to the same you see in cities for trams. Big difference for those is the speed. Would they get worn away too fast? Can they economically make the cables extra thick/hard to compensate?

Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.

Wireless charging wastes a ton of power. Roads also get beat to hell.

I really don’t see this being practical.

I have no clue what the other guy is talking about. The F-22 is an amazing plane that was and still is the stealthiest fighter made.

We have that already, it’s called Linux Mint.

Don’t overthink it.

The good news is. Even if you don’t change your strategy, you can just chill on index funds. When the bubble pops, they will go down, just keep buying more. In the long term, you will still make money. US index funds earn ~8% per year on average when invested for long periods of time.

I never got into options investing, but I believe you keep re-upping them. Every time you do so you pay a small price. So, the game is: ‘can you stay liquid long enough for the bubble to pop’.

Capital gains are taxed. Profits from this are capital gains.

Mid-Cap index funds should be fairly insulated from the damage as well, given they would exclude companies as large as nVidia.

Either way, biggest thing people is when the bubble pops, that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell. The buy high-sell low strategy is easy to fall into emotionally.

This is pretty much my response any time Google or Microsoft does anything negative at this point. My good will for those two was spent years ago. Swapped over to Protonmail, non-google phone, Linux. Done with their shit.

EA was easier to get away from. Just…not buying more EA games solved that one. :)

By harnessing low-cost, nonstop solar energy and avoiding land use and fossil fuels

1. “low-cost” - Nothing about launching data centers into space is low cost

2. “nonstop solar energy” Continuous solar energy is certainly nice, but that is a pretty minor buff compared to current ways of making power. If you think nuclear or solar+battery is expensive, go calculate the price for space-based solar per GW…

3. “avoiding land use” - We have a fuckload of land outside of cities, build them outside of cities… Datacenter land use is removing a cup of water from the ocean.

4. “avoiding…fossil fuels” - You can achieve that on earth, nuclear or solar+battery…

In summary, this is probably the dumbest way to build data centers. It’s stated goals are better accomplished on land with nuclear or solar+battery. It really just feels like venture capital money trap.
