setting one number is a little silly tho. somebody with 4 kids has totally different needs than a single person. especially if someone has a kid with special needs the costs can be huge. obviously that doesn't apply to these CEOs but I would say one person doesn't need more than 100k

i only got like 3

there's no law that says you need to do college at 18. i started at 26, and it would've been a waste before that. i hadn't even discovered any learning passions until just a couple years before that.

so maybe just avoid that problem like i did?

easier to be taken advantage of by employers too

how would android or chrome have the funding for development outside of google? really weird plan to fix this, seems like there are going to be a lot of unintended consequences.

and the ironic part about this, it comes at a time when google is on the verge of being destroyed by new technology and their own enshittification. i haven't relied on google search in years now, it's so bad. some monopoly

as a senior programmer (with limited, valuable time), i exercise good judgement before wasting weeks on unused automations.

"measure twice, cut once" as the craftsmen used to say. or YAGNI

somebody failed to read the meme i guess, it's literally right there

and by making driving less involved, we free up drivers to play on their phones while going 70mph down the highway. progress!

those transmissions are only better on paper. sure they could be theoretically better but in practice the transmission programming is to way over aggressively upshift in order to miser out a little more fuel economy on paper (but in practice they waste fuel)
