I'm impressed, and I love how this project is pushing the boundaries for keyboard layouts, but damn if this doesn't make me uncomfortable

oof. Given how desensitized we've become with the constant inundation of garbage he spews, I forgot how bad this quote was.

Cool! I think GM had (has?) something similar, which is great.

I'm personally holding off until I can get a V2H charger, but if I didn't have charging at work as an option, I'd jump on this.

Nice! I've been hoping for something like this for a while now. 10GB of storage is pretty abysmal if you have any kind of media in your vault, e.g. I have a bunch of old scanned PDF's that don't compress well taking up a few GB.

Also cool to see that they're bumping existing subscribers up to 50GB! Won't need to move up to the next tier at this rate.

My take:

• I don't want to have my normal spending statistics messed up by vacation spending (food, going out, etc).
• I do like to see how much I've spent on travel overall.
• When I'm out, I don't want to think about categorizing expenses (especially if I'm somewhere where I'm using mostly cash). Vacation is for vacation, not for stressing out about categories.

That's how I feel anyway, so how I do it is:

• I have a category group for Travel.
• When I have a new trip coming up, I create a new category for it and fund that.
• During the trip itself, I charge everything to that category.
• Once I get back and transactions have settled, I add something to the memo of the transactions (e.g. #2023-10-my-trip), then I delete the category and move all those transactions to a generic Travel category.

This way, I can still differentiate between trips if I want to go back and look, but I also get to see an overall view of my travel spending (without cluttering my everyday categories).

Pretty painless, works well for me.

Similarly, I've been trying to purchase less on Amazon, but the brick and mortar stores around me are also giants (namely Walmart). I haven't been doing a good job of it, but I feel like part of the process of getting away from Amazon is also accepting some inconvenience and seeking things out from local shops.

Things though like detergent, toilet paper, etc, I really don't know who sells them other than big box stores.

oh boy... yeah WoW was around 3 hours a day x 5 days a week for about 4 years. Some days were more, some days were less, and I took a few breaks here and there. That comes out to around 100 days.

Nice! He puts out some great designs, and his prefabbed stuff is top knotch.

I'd guess that most people with public social media accounts would be susceptible to something like this. As long as there are videos available with the person speaking, which are plentiful by way of instagram reels / tiktoks, the rest of what the commenter described above sounds totally feasible.

I'm sure individual interviewers have their own styles, but yeah I'm with you here. Few things are more frustrating for me during an interview than wasting 30 minutes going in circles on something because the candidate isn't being honest with me.

Our role (low level software) is going to be full of things they haven't seen before. I would rather have a candidate who can quickly identify that they don't understand something, and likewise quickly try to fill that gap so they can move on to the next thing, than have someone try to bluff their way through.

I understand that there's a level of "fake it til you make it" during interviews, but the goal of the interviewer is to get as much signal on you as a candidate as possible. Admitting you don't know something may not feel good, but then it gives the interviewer the opportunity to test you on different things that could really highlight your skills. For example, we ask questions on multithreading during our panel. If you don't know how a semaphore works, and you tell me that upfront, that gives me the opportunity to explain the concept to you and see what your process is like working through new information.

Nice! Yeah I've been doing this for about a year, and I've been really happy with it. Minimal overhead, but I don't lose any information (and I don't have a mess of hidden categories at the end).

Nah, adding the hashtag to the memo takes a couple minutes at most. I think that YNAB toolkit will do this for you too, but I've never used it so I can't say definitively.

Then when you delete the category, it'll ask you where you want to move your transactions, so that part is easy.

Yeah same. As a rule, I try to never put anything in my checked luggage that is irreplaceable (if it gets lost completely), or that I would need immediately if it arrives late (medication, etc).

I have also had cases where the TSA has gone through my bags and shattered the fragile items in there because they couldn't be bothered to repack it gently. So yeah, no precious or time-sensitive items in my checked bags unless absolutely necessary.

Totally agree, but I feel like the problem was the booking system, not the taxi.

I was traveling recently, and Uber had partnered with a local taxi company to handle ride requests. It was awesome. You get the convenience and speed of calling an Uber, but the vehicles and drivers are all regulated and paid by the taxi company. No questionable gig economy work, no wondering if the driver is getting paid fairly, no concerns over shady drivers, no ill-kept vehicles.

I'm not familiar with WalletHub, but quick searching say it seems like it's mostly a credit reporting tool?

Just by virtue of having credit cards and bank accounts at a few different places, I already have a few options for credit reporting (Chase, Capital One, etc). Is there a benefit to using WalletHub over just some of the simple bundled stuff?
