  • Is it worth investing if I can only contribute $50 a month?

    Jump

  • 7-8% is the standard value used after taking inflation into account. It's really 10%, but inflation eats 3% yearly, on average. Using the metric this way also conveniently means that the value you calculate for the end of compounding (in 35 years) is interpretable in todays dollars.

    So 7% interest on 50$ monthly for 35 years means total principal of 21k$ and total of 83k$ (todays value).

  • Does anyone else feel like tech peaked around 10+ years ago?

  • I just had to book a flight.

    Frontier forces you to download an app now to check in (there is a well hidden option to do it on web, but the page never loads on laptop nor mobile in multiple browsers).

    I tried to rent a parking spot, and 2/4 places would not load quotes at all (again web and mobile and multiple browsers). I probably would've used one of the two that didn't load if their sites had worked. Their loss I guess.

    I’d just like it to not feel like each interaction I have with technology, and I guess by extension the world, is becoming increasingly adversarial. The tech itself seems to keep getting better though.

  • Modern cars are surveillance devices on wheels with major privacy risks – new report

  • I think the best course of action is to find an cut the antenna or it's trace on the board (and verify). Sounds a lot easier than it is though.

    edit: or also pull the modem fuse, if it has one

  • Also, horse is bigger/more visible to cars, and maybe could be in the street. So you may not have to wait on traffic crossings as much depending on the area.

    I still choose e-bike because poo, but what a looney idea, I love it.

    Minimal Voting Data of 2020 and 2024 US presidential election.

    Jump

  • It is surprising that the presidential Democratic candidate finally lost a popular vote after 20+ years, but currently it appears that she just lost. Sure, do a recount of a sample of suspected precincts. I am going to continue to believe that this is a conspiracy theory until substantiated evidence of fraud is provided.

    As an aside, those images are small and I could barely read them (zooming didn't increase image size).

  • Gov. Tim Walz vows to fight Donald Trump’s agenda while working to understand his appeal

  • I'll check out the documentary, and thanks for your reply.

    I agree, my working conclusion for a while has been that I can't compete with the phone and to focus on my wellbeing by reducing contact.

  • Have you learned anything useful on inoculation and deprogramming? I’ve been looking as well but haven’t found much.

    Is it like you say, have a true set of idea anchors? But still what if it’s a false anchor?

  • Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

  • Stop whining. Do it yourself.

  • .world and .ml are servers. I’d recommend choosing a server related to your topic (programming.zone if it’s comp sci related, for example), and try to avoid piling into the largest ones (.world and .ml, etc.).

  • A more powerful local transmission may be considered jamming. I’m not sure, so look up relevant law beforehand.

  • I don't believe they're thinking that abstractly. They know [Blue State] and go there. Maybe a few are smart enough to go to [Swing State] + [Blue Area], but I think it's about affecting the count moreso. It just seems stochastic, so I think the simplest logic is going to be the most common.

  • (Area code) 867 5309

    It already has an account, and nobody who gets that number keeps it for long, it may not even be assigned anymore because of how much spam it probably receives.
