What are you talking about? I was responding to someone who said they couldn’t afford a house 35 years ago with 40k down. It’s only been in the last few years 40k wouldn’t be enough and even that is only if you go conventional mortgage instead of one of the other programs.
3% down FHA $40k will purchase you a $1.2 million house.
I’ve bought two homes with a price tag under 80k - most recently about 15 years ago (and it was a fixer upper to be sure) and sold it for about that 12 years ago. My first house I bought when I was 23. 27 years ago. I don’t recall what I put down, but it was under $5k.
Which isn’t to argue so much as just demonstrate that this varies wildly with location.
Well he specified static website, which rules out WP, but yes. If your host accepts posts (in the generic sense, not necessarily specifically the http verb POST) that raises tons of other questions, that frankly were already well addressed when I made my post.
I have five kids from 12 to 30. I worry about their future, but I think they are going to be alright. They’ve all turned out very different from anything I expected, but each is them are strong and successful in their own unique ways. My son battled addiction and bipolar, is 4 years sober and just graduated from nursing school suma cum laude. My oldest daughter just transitioned to a new career in preparation to start her own family. My littlest continually surprises (and frustrates) with her strength and independence. I’m not even sure I’m raising her at all, so much as she’s raising herself and can’t wait for her parents to get out of her way.
Kids are amazing. Good luck!
DDoS and hacking are like taxes: you should be so lucky as to have to worry about them, because that means you’re wildly successful. Worry about getting there first because that’s the hard part.
Turns out we were almost there 40 years ago with CBS, NBC, PBS, and ABC.
This helps with writing unit tests as well.
I assume anything coming out of a Musk company is a lie unless I see it with my own eyes. And then I see an optometrist.
Look at the packages. Try to break it down into architectural layers. Understand in a broad sense what each layer adds to the one before. Rage that it wasn’t so much architected as cobbled together from pieces never designed to fit together. Decry it as total garbage and recommend total rewrite.
ChatGPT says 1-5%, but I told it to give me nothing but a percentage and it gave me a couple of paragraphs like a kid trying to distract from the answer by surrounding it with bullshit. I think it’s onto us…
(I kid. I attribute no sentience or intelligence to ChatGPT.)
even to the point of some phones not even turning off Wi-Fi when airplane mode is turned on
I didn’t know that part (the rest yes). So much for using airplane mode to conserve battery. I suppose it’s the tower handshake that is most energy hungry in my experience.
both wireless protocols can be activated and deactivated independently
100% although my comment was in the context of people who don’t really understand Bluetooth at all.
+1 for the rest, thanks.
Cheap Bluetooth might have connection hitches and, to my knowledge, Bluetooth doesn’t work with airplane mode although I think most airplanes these days aren’t actually affected or we’d have planes dropping out if the sky daily.
Also, does Bluetooth get saturated the way WiFi does? That, I don’t know, but an airplane full of 100 people all on Bluetooth might create some noise issues that would hurt the performance.
Apple sort of shot themselves in the foot here with removing the headphone jack if they had any interest in this issue.
I feel like corporations are inherently evil. The owners have no actual liability for the harm they do, and their highest calling is profits. I don’t know how to encourage investment without the stock market, but I do know if you play a little game called “what is the end result,” you’ll quickly see a dystopian future where everyone is slaves except in name.
We’d better look into the French solution long before it gets to that point.
I have a Samsung fridge I’m happy with but I specifically avoided the in-door water/ice dispenser because I’ve heard awful things about them.
I hate consolidation. Except I want only a single streaming service. But other than that, I hate it.
I thought it was just an ad aggregator.
I’ve always wanted to do this sort of thing, but lack the math and research background to do a good job of it. Glad someone is working on it.
I don’t think Elon Musk has demonstrated the good judgement
Understatement of the century right here.
60-70% seems nuts to me. 10%-20% feels about right to me. That’s a day every week or two. Builds cohesion and lets you do some effective brainstorming sessions, and then the rest of the time you do actual work far more efficiently. I mean you do you, but I thought I was suffering from lack of office time, but that’s way too far in the other direction for me.
It’s been 5 years and 3 jobs since I’ve been to an office. My last job I honestly don’t even know what state my job was based out of. That’s a little too disconnected. But just a little.
That’s not what he said. He said in a conversation that 40k wouldn’t hypothetically be a down payment 35 years ago. I didn’t say housing is cool today, I said that the conversation he had 35 years ago was very atypical and housing wasn’t impossible to afford until relatively recently. No, the experience of Gen X 20-30 years ago shouldn’t be compared to the experience of today as if they were the same.
