No easy solutions here. I do think if rent exceeds half your earnings as a minimum wage worker that’s a failure of the social contract.

Want people to have kids, make it possible to raise them on a working class wage.

Rationally , since it’s impossible to raise a family on what most people make , people aren’t making people anymore. Not at replacement rates anyway.

Oracle's department that handles DBs probably has at least a few hundred.

3 people would be an ultra lean QA department for a product like this.

I'd have a hard time convincing my boss to go with PGDog over a more stable and tested solution.

This doesn't mean it's bad, just not ready yet

The Disneyland one is nice.

You’d need a ton of faith in these 3 people.

Feels more like it would work better inside of a bigger organization.

The QA tester in me is kinda risk adverse.

Free public transport, bikes and shoes for everyone

Or, if we go a step further you pay a licensing fee for Gitdot and self host it.

The cookie jar of AI training data is very hard to resist even if it’s a non profit

I think 50$ is the minimum you could charge and still have responsive customer support.

Please don’t do this.

Charge a fair price, in fact find a fair price and double it.

I don’t want a free GitHub clone, I want one that works.

How about 50$

50 private repos, 50GBs of git LFS storage. Add collaborators for free.

Actually respond to customers. At this level you only need 1000 paying customers to make it worth while for 2 developers.

Competition emerges and Match/Ticketmaster just buys them out.

Just the other day I went to a non Ticketmaster show and I’ll go to another next week.

I go to a lot of hyper small shows, shows where the artist sells their own merch. So many opening acts it feels closer to an open mic.

I’d rather that, the 30 to 100 person shows than KENDRICK LAMAR in a mega venue.

I really hope to find small shows the next time I travel. I’ve no interest in BTS, but I’d love to see an underground Korean rap concert.

It appears they’ll just rebrand a few record cutters and call it a product. TE always comes off as really low quality for the types of prices they charge.

The MPC Sample is 400$ and looks well built, the KO2 is 300$ and has faders falling off.

Roland has a few samplers in the same price range as well.

However, I do think an app image or I guess a flatpak would be nice.

You build it for Ubuntu , people will demand fedora. Build fedora they’ll want Arch.

This is fine for FOSS projects where the community can fork and contribute, but as a company I can imagine tons of support tickets coming from Linux users who’s particularly DE/Distro permutation isn’t working right.

Still. An App Image would be nice

They could of also pulled an Oracle , claimed the APIs are copyrighted and sued.

WINE, even if right couldn't afford to fight.

I can even imagine official Linux support for the Surface tablets.

Infact, Microsoft makes very little off its consumer OS. They could even give up the market entirely and bless a distro with solid WINE support for legacy applications.

I did spend significant time in Asia and I found myself actually more comfortable than in the US. People just leave each other alone.

After seeing how fast my family wasted the proceeds of an estate that took 60 years to build, I don't think leaving a large amount of money is a great idea.

A certain someone just didn't want to work, and while that's fine if you invest the money and move to Vietnam, it won't sustain you if you want to stay in America.

I'm sure your spouse would rather party with you today vs having no you and a lot of money. Can you retire today ?

It’s really designed to drain every last dime.

As bleak as it sounds I made sure to take a long vacation last year at the spur of the moment. Tomorrow isn’t promised and you might save for a retirement that you never see.

I hope to do this every time I’m laid off or otherwise with an abundance of free time

I actually think it’s easier to cut back vs chasing some magic high networth before retirement.

The average salary in Costa Rica is only 1200$ a month. Meaning if you live an average life there you might be able to retire with 240k. Assuming 6% yields per year.

I've already committed to pay for a friend's kid to attend college( within reason though, I'm thinking about 15k as that's a good headstart).

Another I occasionally help with nominal amounts. In exchange he's shown me around the world. He's basically a genius who is fluent in like 4 languages. I always respect others who can do what I can't.

That's the dream anyway. Sell your soul, then take care of your friends in an attempt to buy it back.

That's why I want to make enough to retire early!

In my 20s I wanted to retire by 40.

In my 30s I want to retire by 45.

Although I'm starting to understand the journey is just as important as the destination. I do have a fantastic low stress job currently.

Wanting to make a lot of money is offense ?

I'll keep what you said in mind though. Grass greener and all that
