If cash sweeps become ubiquitous, you will be subsidizing it whether you want to or not. This just makes it explicit.

Thinking that the proposal making the rounds that in the future all deposits be fully insured is not so crazy. Paid for by the banks (and subsequent fees) of course. After this, cash sweeps will become VERY popular, making full insurance es

I didn't say that all taxpayers would come out equivalently. I said taxpayers would pay.

Medicare for All would be great, at the prices being quoted by folks on here. But I bet your premiums and deductibles aren't covering your costs, especially at your age. Over 65 spending is around $18K per year. Average in the US is $7

I went to the UW in the early 80s. This makes it sound like classes were a free-for-all back then. Nope. Red herring imo

Yes, still use the older Android version. There are still show-stopping search bugs in the newer versions that haven't been fixed in 3+ years.

Exactly my experience coming out of school in 1986. Only for me it was microcontrollers (Intel 8096 family). Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

Yes. Trusted relative has a letter with info how to find the master pw in case both of us die or become incapacitated. It is physically on paper they need to find, stored in our residence and in a bank sd box (in case of fire), so they won&

Teachers having second jobs is nothing new. Most of my teachers from the 60s-70s had second jobs in the summer - the canning factory, retail clerks, you name it.

Reminds me of the habit we started in Marriage Encounter 20+ years ago. Same idea - communication. ME is Christian-based, and we have fallen away from that in recent years, but the concept was sound. The daily notes went a long way to impro

The whole point of the US Digital Service ( https://www.usds.gov/ ) was to make this better. I'm curious as to whether they were involved with this, or was this developed along the usual broken processes. Of course, a pa

I listened to JRE years ago, and those early shows were pretty raunchy at times. When he started getting popular and more "mainstream", I knew those were going to come back to bite him, it was just a matter of time. I'm just

Just started using VS Code after years of JetBrains IDEs. Wow, it's like flying through the air vs. the maple syrup feel that JB IDEs have grown to be. Thin client hosting might be their Hail Mary.

I own 100 acres of woodland in south-central Wisconsin. The deer are extremely abundant and cause extensive damage to the ecosystem. We have bow hunters on the property each fall who take maybe a dozen or so deer (no guns, too many houses i

I pay for a Spectrum subscription, and their app for watching TV is pretty good, except that it is severely crippled channel-wise when you're not on your home network. In that case a home VPN server is your friend, but the average pers
