It seems like you are looking at your thoughts as a part of yourself. They might just be a phenomena triggered by your current circumstances in the same way a sneeze can be triggered by dust.

I think they're referring to materialism, the philosophy that the only thing that exists is matter and it's movements/changes. In other words, it's the belief that there is no soul or supernatural entities.

Seems fine to me as long as it's treated as normal work hours and compensated as engineering time. I wouldn't mind the break from the monotony of sitting at a computer all day.

We built machinery, processes, IP, etc using saved and invested capital. That machinery wouldn't be built without the capital. And thus labor would be nearly valueless. The machines and processes also stop functioning when the owners

Non sequitur. One person retiring early makes no difference in when others retire.

I plan to keep working after FI, but I really only need a couple of days a week. I've always felt 40hrs for 48-50 weeks per year is way too much.

Why? Labor with capital is incredibly more useful and productive than labor alone. We aren't any smarter today than people a couple hundred years ago, the main difference that makes our lives much easier is we've built up various

I could be lured back to WFO by an extra $30k a year commuting bonus and a private office with a door that closes. Seems laughably far-fetched in today's world.

I personally go for a 5 mile jog most days after work. When it gets cold, I put on warmer clothes. These days it gets dark early so I bring a flashlight.

Your wage should also be related to how much work you have to put in. I would expect more money if I was going to work 10 hours a day than 8. And I consider commuting time similar to work time. So, given two otherwise equal job offers, o

But what if you turn that around? If you are currently remote but considering an offer from a place that's in-office, wouldn't you want a higher wage to compensate you for the extra hassle of commuting? That's extra free ti

Try it out. You might find it going off all the time. Even at the tailpipe, CO emissions can be 1000ppm and your car's air intake is well-located to suck that in from the car ahead of you.

It's likely that much more than 50% of the population disagrees with at least one YT political view.

I think there's a happy medium. Perhaps closely spaced SFHs or row-houses near a small downtown with rail access to a larger city.

Are you truly living your life in the way you are suggesting other people should here? Do you, for example, eschew all spending that's remotely luxurious and donate it to people that have way less than you? My point is, lead by exampl

Researchers and doctors don't have a simple method to make people lose weight. They can make recommendations for diet and exercise but at the end of the day, most people won't follow them. And forcing millions to stick to a diet

High COL is not an excuse to avoid paying higher taxes. If you can't afford CA (you definitely can on $421k) then live somewhere else. There are dev jobs everywhere.

Classic Hacker News: I earn $800k at my FAANG job which puts me barely above the poverty line in CA. Please don't raise my taxes or I'll be living under a bridge.

The cheapest phone plans tend to be available to singles anyways so maybe that wasn't a good example. Mint Mobile is $15 a month.

A lot of these things seem like complaints about reality rather than complaints about the way society is organized. I'm sure there's some social bias against single people in the workplace and out. That seems like a reasonable co

I disagree, people will make up all sorts of smart-sounding rationales why they just need an iPhone. Just like they need that SUV, McMansion, or any other status good. And heck, they'll even believe their own reasoning. People ty

Nah. Half the reason people buy iPhones is to show other people they aren't poor. Buying a sub-$300 phone doesn't achieve that goal.

Nah. There are plenty of bosses out there who are smart or lazy enough not to micromanage.

Are you speaking of high in absolute dollars or percentage of home value? I'm comparing RE tax amounts between Fremont, CA and Austin and it seems like for similar house sizes, the absolute amount of RE taxes paid is way lower in Aust

They take standardized tests related to normal school topics such as math, reading, etc. They don't take IQ tests.

Tesla is not leaving California, they're continuing to expand operations in Fremont. It's just that Tesla is now a worldwide company and Texas happens to be a more convenient location for the time being.

Tesla is continuing to expand Fremont. Austin happens to have a huge Gigafactory opening up which will require extra attention during ramping and it's closer to SpaceX's operations in South Texas. It seems like a much more conve

The difference is what you describe, every kid takes the tests now because they are standardized.
