The real issue is never making it to an age where you can optimally use the "freedom" you've stored. I think at 65 1 in 5 males are dead in the US. That 20% risk needs to be properly accounted for somehow.

Wealth management isn't explicitly mentioned, but it's part of the work that comes with having a high savings rate. It's not too hard to beat inflation. Yeah, you do have to expose yourself to some risk, but it's reall

Honestly, I can just change what I consider economic growth and the problem immediately goes away. I can make that graph do anything I want, just a matter of convincing enough people to go along with it. Also: >Why can't this go on?

That has to be true, right? There's just way too much to understand and it's impossible to come up with an absolute ordering of importance. At some point you have to delegate huge chunks of your understanding. And it works 9 out o

I think that's incorrect. They couldn't log in, because that VPN tunnel is only open before logging in. So they had to gain access while on the login screen.

It's not wrong. Life is ultimately meaningless. I'm doing the same thing. Except that I understand that I was able to do so because I'm considerably more resourceful than average. I personally think that gives me the responsi

It's going to have to be on the blockchain. No way around that. Any other way you end up with the same outcome. If one party has full control, it will eventually abuse it's position.

That's going to depend on the store and the shift. I'm sure you understand that I gave an example that's easy to understand and I'm not trying to discuss the intricate details of being a high performing cashier. If it&#x

Yep. I basically made the same remark. For a lot of positions they're just not looking for creative people, just chairs to fill. They want "good enough" and nothing more.

The opposite is also true. I work in system engineering (sometimes it's called sysops. Hybrid programming/administration, often production stuff) and I've learned to I hide my creativity. A lot of employers want people they c

We'll see. Stablecoins are a workaround for the current price fluctuations, if the cryptos stabilize they might replace the stablecoins at some point in the future.

Easy enough to guess how that works. Give chimps/gorillas/humans enough territory and they're peaceful, make them compete with others of the same species for limited resources and they'll turn violent. I don't need
