A 2019 study by Federal Reserve economists found that although a college education still provides a boost in earnings, the increase in wealth a degree provides has declined significantly over the past fifty years, due to the rising cost of college and the increase in other forms of consumer debt.
Now throw AI on top of that and college isn’t looking like the ladder to the middle class it once was (if you need to take loans) https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/cea/written-materials/2024/04/08/the-economics-of-administration-action-on-student-debt/

I’m trying to get used to carrying a lot of cash again. Most places in NYC are offering anywhere between a 3-5% discount for using cash. Basically the credit card service fee. It definitely adds up, so I’m trying to pay cash.

We all know that nukes absolutely can destroy the entire world after a certain number of warheads. AI feels like the early days of nukes before anyone had that number to destroy everything. There will come a day…

2025 Year of Linux on the Desktop?
Today I did something I never thought I’d seriously consider: I wiped Windows from my main gaming rig and installed Linux. Microsoft’s heavy-handed tactics finally pushed me over the edge. The end of Windows 10 support feels like a ransom note, forcing users toward Windows 11 through increasingly aggressive upgrade prompts. But Windows 11 itself…

Unpopular opinion: Everything Facebook has done that made you angry would have been totally fine if you had only added your actual friends.
