<p>It's not insurmountable.  Do you need to be mindful of self-dealing regulations?  Of course. However, there are many investment opportunities available to non-wealthy people which can be pursued via self-directed ROTHs and LLCs owned by them. Real estate (financing, bridge financing, rental ownership, distressed property flipping, etc...) is probably the most commonly used one I've seen IRL but I've still seen it used for investing in friends and family rounds of startups, etc...<p>It's certainly not a "yolo do whatever you want, the IRS won't care" fund but it is still available to the non-wealthy. I know many people who have been making use of it for years without any unfair government characterization or attention. The best I've personally seen is a couple in their early 30s with ~$7 million (real estate related dealings) in their self-directed roth which is a far cry from $5 billion, obviously, but pretty amazing nonetheless.</p>

<p>Anyone can create a self-directed Roth and do many creative and lucrative things with it.  It’s hardly something only available to billionaires.</p>

<p>Elsewhere in the thread this article with an embedded video was linked: <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64618791" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-64618791</a><p>The video, showing a BBC “journalist” attempting to ambush Leif, is one of the most… existentially disgusting? videos I’ve seen in a long, long time.<p>It’s so utterly performative.  Such a transparent attempt by the “journalist” at painting himself as a certain sort of person.  Not a single genuine emotion, action, expression, or word.  Absolutely soulless and desperate attempt to virtue signal in the even more desperate hope of furthering his career.  This “man” is no better than someone selling themselves on onlyfans.  Actually, I’d posit he’s worse: the entire schtick requires disingenuous postering.<p>I don’t know what to do when seeing stuff like this.  It’s depressing.  I hope one day there’s a return to a much smaller internet and these people deign to just leave us alone.  He’s a sad man and the fact his doing this will may well advantage him is even sadder.  I guess I’ll go take a walk.</p>

<p>My timeline was:<p>- would have selected wheel if it was an option on order<p>- ~4 days after delivery I was ambivalent to it<p>- ~2 weeks after delivery I preferred the yoke.  Better visibility is nice.<p>That said, it would obviously be better if it was drive by wire with variable steering ratio.  I’d probably pay some amount of money to switch to that.</p>

<p>Fine, I'll concede poor wording on my part.<p>However, in their white paper they specifically have a section "Crypto over HTTPS" which outlines the risks of their new web UI.  Yes, the password stays local if no one mucks with delivered js, however, 1password being compromised would allow serving of modified js.<p>This is a new vector only present due to their new web vault model + associated web UI features.  They state it themselves in the whitepaper:
"The authenticity and integrity of the web client depends on the security of the host from which it is delivered. An attacker capable of
changing the web client on the server could deliver a malicious client
to the user"</p>

<p>1.  Setup to sync via icloud was very straightforward and 100% fine for "non-tech saavy"
2.  Why would it matter if dropbox was hacked?  Your vault password was never sent to to dropbox.  It was just a dumb store for an encrypted vault.  The calculus changes now that the vault is online and stored by the same party you're sending the password to.</p>

<p>I'm not informed enough on the topic to speak anything near authoritatively but there was an essay posted here ~6(?) months ago that spoke about how >2-3% inflation effectively serves as a means of effectively reducing government debt.<p>I would imagine your 5% number has to assume some baseline of inflation and that 5% would increase as inflation increases beyond said baseline.</p>

<p>AA has had a real annoying stick up their ass for a while.

<p>It has fallen out of favor but I am a massive proponent for graduated drivers licenses.  Free toll roads would be silly but higher/removed speed limits seem 100% ok to me as long as it's coupled with an actual assessment of driving ability, semi-frequent required reassessment, and stiffer penalties for things such as DUI when driving in the graduated speed limit range.</p>
