I don't like the direction they're going and I'm certain giving them more money won't change it. It's in the ~$100Ks. I usually pay people directly to build things I think the world needs and then have them give it

Pretty much. It's probably worth $6K at replacement cost today. It's for deep learning and I included what I spent on it and I've refreshed the 4 GPUs once. The current config is probably still good for a couple of years. Now

It's via friends I made in SF. If you want to do something similar I'd recommend doing a long stint in SF first. Get any job you can and then switch once you know some people. I try to keep anonomous in general so no portfolio.

I think most people are unaware of Mir vs Wayland and the issues that Ubuntu using Mir will cause. I only know about it because I was thinking about building a tiling window manager (because I'm weird like that). I think there is a goo

FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop HEADLINE: Dump Mir!!!!! DESCRIPTION: I know Canonical has put a lot of effort into Mir and at this stage it is probably "too big to fail". But for various reasons my bet is that it will fail. I think this is

If I had $10M I'd move back to Sydney. It's a nicer city. I do data science / machine learning and for work there is no comparison, SF is where it is at. I had to leave SF because I wanted to be a contractor and none of the v

The banks think they'll be bailed out. Maybe not in a US way with direct cash injection but maybe in an EU way with the government creating a Bad Bank and buying their mistakes at above market rates. Of course they'll lie about it

I escaped that ponzi scheme 10 years ago and moved to way more affordable San Francisco. It was cheaper then and still is.

That is interesting. I had no idea. I already had my reasons for not liking Warren Buffet but this was new to me.

Guys; I like the idea but your prices are too high. You're in the decent trailer price range. The big advantage of a shipping container is the ability to cheaply ship it. Once you cut into it you can't ship it anymore. It's n

It's per year. Panama is more expensive than many areas of the US but the lifestyle is subjectively better. Plus you don't go broke trying to pay for medical coverage or treatment. And there is no tax on foreign sources of income.

This thread is in the context of a major economic downturn. Many @ 65 are not set up as defensively to survive one. Counters to your example would be modern day Detroit, modern day Greece, and the Weimar Republic.

What is stereotypical and divorced from reality are the things you are missing. The economy is structured as a ponzi scheme. The ponzi scheme will collapse and many unsympathetic boomers will go broke. To take your interest rate example. Pr

With lawyers. It cost me $8K and took 6 months. $3K of that was for a company and bank account.

I have a $20K passive income of and living expenses of $10K. My hobbies are really cheap and centered around building skills. Programming / construction / sports. I do miss my friends in SF though. That's the biggest downside

Pensions are the first to go. They already are in many places. Taxpayers will be unable to bail them out. If you think being 20 with a shitty job is bad then consider being 65 with no savings or income whatsoever.

It is so perfectly stereotypical and dicorced from reality part of me thought it was a joke.

I think the social penalty of a young man dropping out is lower than a young women because their perceived social value is much lower. It is a lower height to fall from.

I'm in rual Panama. It's probably the best for tax and lifestyle reasons.

I dropped out and retired at 31 to a third world country. I'm going to study whatever I'm interested in while the economy sorts itself out. I may never re-enter the job maket. I'm ok with that. I'm not rich but it's

There might still be potential for future ultra heavy lift airships for niche transports of things heavier than 20 tons, bulkier than 40x9x9', and destinations lacking in an airport. I'd say the major problem is that the niche may

I think the disruptive aspect is not the efficiency but in how cheap it is (or could be - I'm assuming it will be). It looks like something I could fabricate in my workshop. The ability to work with low head and with dirty water means

As much as I'd like to see it happen the Trump admistration has stated that H1B reform is not a priority. I doubt anything will come of it. Just more bait and switch.

What about LDN? I know I'm sounding like a broken record / shill here. I've not had the chance to try it as it's not available in my country. But it's available in the US as prescription as off label and compounding

AFAIK the latest on CFS is that it is autoimmune. Also thyroid conditions often goes into remission so negative tests don't necessarily mean there is was nothing there. And yes both can be triggered by stress (as in my case of fixed Gr

I have CFS/ME which I manage to about 60% normal. It's not enough and like many I'm doing enough to continue existing but nothing more. My next experiment is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) which sadly had to be bought illegally ov
