Suggest passing the cost and the openai api calls through to us. eg we provide an openai api key. Just make it very easy for us to stay in control. If your target audience is techie, you could maybe provide us a short python proxy script, t

Note that looks like you are assuming 4% investments after retirement. Per the passive investment chart, this implies a fairly high level of risk? I'm unclear if you're also assuming we will live forever?

also: broadband. It originally contrasted with narrowband, and they describe modes for propagation of light through fiberglass cables... I thought it was really weird when I heard people on mainstream radio discussing such things. Eventual

I've used oracle. Its awesome. Expensive. But awesome. If I have to pay, postgres is OK. But oracle is really really good. If they were laptop operating systems, postgres would be Debian, oracle would be Mac os x.

Is a 100% filled in linked in profile something to strive for? It seems like the poster has chosen an arbitrary goal, then seeks to manipulate the goal so he can finish it. Why not just choose a different goal?

If you are living on expenses, so can/must eat out every night, you quickly notice that empty restaurants have shocking food; and conversely the ones that are full, and have lines, have the most awesome food/atmosphere.

Wrong way around: only allow http:// and https:// (and generally filtering out anything thats not letters, numbers, slash or dot is probably a good idea. Remove any sequences of more than one slash or dot.

Ok. Fixed this by two things: - using branch r0.10, as suggested by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12464835 - making sure to install the new r0.10 wheel, which has a different name than the r0 wheel built by master :-

Ah, I see what I was missing before: there's a patch 1 of cuda 8.0, which adds gcc 5.4 support, and is installed in the cuda section using: sudo sh cuda_8.0.27.1_linux.run --silent --accept-eula

This seems to be a frankenstein of cuda 7.5 instructions and cuda 8.0. Similarly ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. As far as i know, these instructions will fail from gcc 5.4 errors, amongst other issues.
