That's the only right take, no need to make a comment on someone else expressing their opinion

CC does all of my work and I have hit the $100/mo Max plan limit only once, and I probably could have just called it quits for the day at that point.

I have noticed the same with the $100/mo plan, I hit the limt only once with heavy usage. Then when I use my employer's AWS Bedrock it's not uncommon for my spend to $50/day of serious work. It doesn't make much sense.

Nothing can stop the tower equipment manufacturer like Ericsson from knowing the location of your phone and cooperating with advertising or mobile tracking compainies to aggregate that data in useful ways. If you have a phone, people that want your location have it and there is nothing you can do.

Yay new version! Not the most exciting (as Go releases tend to be which is good), but hopefully jsonv2 and greentea can get some testing and be standard in 1.26

    I tried to find something fast and native. Saying "native" I mean something which doesn't require a browser.

Uses a browser which doesn't meet the requirements they set.

I don't know what 529 you guys invested in but Utah's 529 which anyone can use whether or not they live in Utah allows you to invest in regular old Vanguard funds like VSTSX. They also offer target dates funds that handle gradually shifting to a more conservative allocation as enrollment date nears if that's what you want.

I agree that not all 529s are good, only 2 plans received a gold rating from Morningstar in 2022: Utah & Michigan. I wouldn't choose anything other than those.

The S&P 500 is also flat since October and up 16.3% in the last year. VXUS is down in the last year. If you want a simple strategy buy into an S&P 500 index fund and don't worry until you're closer to retirement.

Yeah it seems to not load if you're logged in. Both old and new Reddit working fine in Incognito mode in Chrome.

I thought the same in the other post, try this someone suggested: That's probably because you have it set to show the old interface by default. Go to new.reddit.com and it should work fine.

Gobd — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 21:24:58 +0000

Regular https://reddit.com also doesn't work so I'd say this could also be a larger problem.

On an Android phone I can just use F-Droid or install an apk I downloaded from anywhere. That's not the case with an iPhone. Not sure about consoles.

Utopia can only enter cities that allow & fund it, so for most cities this not an option. Nothing like Comcast.

Gobd — Wed, 05 Dec 2018 16:48:16 +0000

I agree with this idea, amusingly the parking lot used to be pay to park then the town made it free. I don't see a problem with charging a minimum, then hourly up to a max, just make sure it's cheap enough, maybe max $8 a day. This would give the town money to use to help the problem, either more parking or better public transit options.

I used to live in Sandpoint, and the large city parking is full very often forcing people to park on the street where it's a 3 hour or so limit. I always rode my bike (yes even in the winter) but it's challenging for tourists visiting the beach or shopping in the summer to find parking. Also very few people ride their bike in the winter with all the snow & ice, and that's when there are the fewest parking spots since the snow piled up cuts the size of the city lot in half.

I always thought a park and ride would do well there so tourists could park out of downtown and take a bus to downtown or the beach.

It's not a big problem, but I couldn't imagine the city having less parking.

What do they believe in now? I still thought calorie-in/out was the truth. I'd love to see some articles.

I've used https://httpstat.us/ which seems to offer the same features plus configurable delay, although when you hit it 3,000 times a second it doesn't necessarily respond with the code you ask for.

A quick search on my local classifieds section shows a 2006 for $6,000, and a 2008 for $10,000, all the way to a 2011 (with rebuilt title) for $7,500 and everything in between. Used cars are almost always a better choice.

New comment by Gobd in "Should You Buy an Electric Car?"

Gobd — Mon, 24 Nov 2014 03:03:48 +0000

These articles never mention the option of buying a regular used car. What if I buy a used Honda Civic for $8,000, a car like that can easily last 10 years, and beat every car in their table on total 5 year cost even with thousands in repairs.

Also they mention 18% loss of battery pack capacity in only 2 years. It seems like someone might want to buy a new battery pack after 5 years and I wonder how much that would cost. I really want to buy an electric car, but they just don't make sense to me yet.

Ask HN: Where are the Wakemate reviews?

Gobd — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:49:23 +0000

Couldn't figure out how to continue previous discussion, but supposedly Wakemate has shipped product

"Hey Guys,

Greg from WakeMate here - Because we have not publicly shipped any units yet, there are no reviews of units just yet. We will be shipping out the first units at the end of the month so you should be seeing some reviews soon. More detailed information will be posted to our website and blog." posted 73 days ago.

So where are the reviews? They should have shipped some of the first products to reviewers.
