I get it (and don’t know why i went down this road on a whim). My (original) point was that at something like 8% avg return you’re up 5900% over 60 years instead of being 10900% up.

I’m not misunderstanding anything, but that’s a cool way to blaze into a convo lol. Most/borderline all of these plans kick in above income thresholds, ie you dip down below 50M and you’re not paying the tax. So that’s one way you’re n

Yeah but if your wealth has compounded 400% over 40 years, and they took 40% compounded, then that paints a different picture. He’s playing games around the idea that 100% is the cap because that’s how most people would think about money.

I’m not picking a fight I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t walking into expert level trolling. It’s not an accident at all, you’re right. But this was not some happy thing in the 1800s. They picked George because it’s historically a male g

...really? Georgina / Georgia / Gina are common feminine forms (US anyways). The point of picking George was to pick an unassailably male name so no one would question if the works came from a female brain.

Apple didn’t initiate a hidden feature for an in-app store (flagrant violation) + an accompanying ad blitz + lawsuit. That said I kinda like the argument of currency, the problem I guess for Apple is that what’s the difference between fortn

So what does epic games do while this is being litigated? Isn’t this the cash cow, I know they’ve got other games but still (as a windows gamer I look forward to all of you who have found in Epic your David; what a bs company). Do you try t

“Nobody will” is a bet, mostly on history of the last 30 years of winning these bets. If/when someone does do it, being a business that drew a line in the sand is going to make it difficult to adapt. Playing regulatory games is hard. P

As a shareholder of any company, I’d be extremely wary of outlier moves in mechanical business areas like cash management. Maybe there is something real going on there, but holding egads of cash and then putting it in a (by market-cap) frin

Native resolution (3440x1440), scaling is default. This was a clean install on new hardware.

I was the same way and ultrawide is the happy medium for me. 1.5x width lets me have 3 columns of windows instead of 2 and then I virtual desktop for more expansion.

Did you just use defaults or one of the profiles? Will mess with this thanks for the tip!

Ah sorry I missed it. My poor macbook pro of 8 years finally chimed it's last boot chime, so to speak. I have a windows PC that I had used mostly for games/web, so "convert" might be strong, I just haven't decided

That's a hard pill to swallow when my ability to read anything is so strained by trying to focus letters. I mean if I was just able to read the words better I'd not be complaining, that's what I want to do lol. I'm on 14

I’ve been using windows more recently since my personal Mac bit the dust and I’m trying to decide if there’s really that much reason to own a personal Mac. So now I realize for years I’ve been using this silent feature of macs for years cal

Yep this is a good answer. And it follows that if you’re serious about this issue & don’t just like to hear yourself talk, you should go do the work at the low level. It peeves me off to no end to see the lack of seriousness around this

Krugman argues that there’s a special nature to the bond-gold relationship but I would argue that it’s because gold is an asset of last resort. The only thing special is that bonds have typically been an asset of last resort, but government

I’m a recent windows 10 convert from Mac and a 1password user for years, I have disagreements with my buddy who is a long time windows user along these lines _all_ the time. He thinks I’m insane for essentially paying for UI I prefer (I wou

Google has an existing partnership with ADT for monitoring their Nest Secure product so I'm not even sure it's all about the install base. There's a lot of mutual benefits to that partnership, ADT has the existing network of

Just as some general advice, imo that’s enough money to visit with a fee-only financial advisor for some planning. I don’t think my numbers are wildly off for location but you could probably spend like a grand (.22%) to get a solid plan in

Just making sure but do you ever click through on an email link or do you just use it as a notification and then go and log in? I’m curious if they just need to be looking at click + open events or if that wouldn’t even help in this scenari

Yeah that’s why this isn’t a serious argument, because no one is just going to watch a lot of jobs disappear or become automated etc without a plan. We’ve gone from “hey just do this one thing raise min wage” to “hey you know it’s gonna be

You can’t do a rewrite on something involving 10-20M jobs without a migration plan, which is essentially why huge complex problems don’t get solved. When you get into actually coming up with real plans, you end up in webs that just touch to
