I replied https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27516973 - curious what your thoughts are on it. But no, i have literally zero fancy expenses. My car is 10 years old, my mortgage is not paid off, i don't have retirement

I dunno.. these are loose definitions but i make enough that i'm confident i can pay off my mortgage, make meaningful contributions to my retirement and not be afraid of money (outside of job loss, at least) . I also significantly bud

Have you seen any studies on it being a causal relationship between the education and the income doubling? Ie i'm curious if the people who complete a graduate are also inherently more likely to have higher earnings. I'm in full s

I think there's also other cases where kids grew up without education (like myself) - but could have, but if i were to have kids now i'd value education immensely. Ie i'm not an immigrant, my lack of early education is a re

I don't know if reading about how someone is the devil or how vaccines put 5G computer chips in my arm will ever not be draining.

I don't understand how you can manage, honestly. The absolute swarm of conspiracies around COVID and the election overwhelmed me and i wasn't even trying to stay informed on them. Furthermore, even if i was trying to stay informed

I'm confused, why isn't being fired something to lose sleep over in your eyes? I get that you're implying that the job itself is not worth that much concern, but it seems you're ignoring that jobs bring in income, pay yo

Why bother? Seems throwing their money around is functionality well enough. Not sure what they'll do if another company decides to reinvent it.. but /shrug (to be clear, not defending them at all)

How many SpaceX's are there? SpaceX is the golden child precisely because of how rare it is. Instead what we normally get are companies chasing the bottom. The hyper efficient, low innovation, short term stock motivated companies.

What do you do that you pay >60% of your income in taxes? I'm self employed and hit ~%30.

Yea, i actually do that now. My problem is the dozens of packages i didn't hand pick all broke. So basically i need to hand pick everything. And in doing so, it feels like a lot more work than simply specifying what versions i want dur

As a new NixOS user currently set up with home manager and flakes - i'd probably switch in a heartbeat if someone gave me a nice nix-like package manager that also handled dotfiles. As much as i love the feeling of NixOS, i really want

It _sounds_ like you're speaking in absolutes though, lacking nuance. If you are, my reply to absolutes would be that we should stop enforcing alcohol sales to minors, as it's the parent's job to ensure kids their don't

I don't know - two people getting interrupted frequently seem to be multiplying by zero to me. Sometimes complex problems just require focused thought. Distractions detract focused thought. It's still possible to work through most

I love all knowledge management attempts, but i often feel that something has to exist to help me also retain some of the knowledge - ala Spaced Repetition. Ie i think we need a tool that helps manage knowledge, but then also help you pick

perhaps it depends on expected returns. If it's expected a specific fraud case will go no where, why waste the money?

Because the voicings change quite a bit with what you're able to reach in different tunings. I'm not saying alternate tunings are mandatory, just that you can't learn a single tuning with guitar and expect to only ever know j
