Divorce is way more expensive than your savings. I went through this; you save $12-16k/yr for 10 years and if you invest the difference smartly, it's $300k. Without a prenup, and most don't cover earnings during your marriage

I notice this with my Uber cash credit I get from my AMEX Gold card. The prices are always higher.

Something's off here. The data appears as "life-expectancy-table.json" but the title refers to Income. Not sure where the mistake is.

This might be a naive question but how does one determine what "best" is for multiple subjects? Even in your example, physics and mathematics could be curated for "best" when dealing with equations and foundational knowl

Property values should not be an investment or retirement fund, it is selfish to think so. Literally, by definition, if you think the value of YOUR home and SOME of your neighbors should increase to price others out, that is selfish. Housin

OP is not arguing against cars completely, they just have very limited use within high density city centers. Most people can travel by foot, bike, scooter, bus, train, trolley, etc... to get their daily errands done. When you need to go fur

A friend works at Vertex and couldn't tell me for the longest time what the secret sauce was. The FDA approval was the only thing blocking their right to basically print money. It's awesome people are benefiting from the drug, eve

You should look at home price growth for California in the last 15 years, Irvine isn't even in the top. The Bay Area, parts of LA and San Diego lead the pack in price increases. You might not be aware because you haven't looked fo

Isn't Irvine full of strip malls, copy/paste corporate restaurants / chains and lack identity or urban planning (With public transit, lots of parks, walk-ability)? I fail to see why we would hail Irvine as a great city when i

I wish I could find the other HN comments from the last few years but I have seen your exact comment from different people over the last 2 years. Why has nothing changed? If so many people are having problems, how is Tesla allowed to contin

I have seen some arguments that they don't care about your privacy and it's all right there in the privacy policy if you're willing to read it. A video on the subject [1] [1] https://youtu.be/r38Epj6ldKU

Core inflation is going down, just not as fast as other sectors. People losing their jobs is not a hard fact of a recession, we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in history. I'm just indexing and staying happy, worry free, it w

I don't think I'm following, you didn't "lose" anything if you didn't sell. Even if you invested in 2007 at the peak and lost 50% of a 100% S&P500 portfolio by 2009, by now you'd be extremely wealthy,

Hot take but I'll bite, what's your rationale? We're only ~9% down from VTI's ATH and what happens now doesn't matter when your investing horizon is 15+ years.

Super cool trip down memory lane. I remember finding your site eons ago when I was in high school too. It's cool seeing some of the most popular shows there like Revision3, it reminds me of Digg, Kevin Rose and my favorite online show,

I lived in Potrero Hill (I see you misspelled it, are you familiar with the neighborhood?) for over a decade and can tell you it didn't feel safe at all. Had a bike stolen from my garage with power tools, caught a man with an angle gri

It's funny because it reminds me of stories my grandparents told me about communism in Eastern Europe where the higher ups would come inspect their factories and the execs would know in advance and prep everything to look perfect.

Could you expand on your idea of how taxpayers are subsidizing mortgage rates and downpayments?

Wow...that does sound quite exceptional. My wife got 50% of all my RSUs and all other equity I earned throughout my career. Nothing I could do about it since it was earned during our marriage and that's the law in CA.

> You’re entitled to keep a larger portion of it (as you get a credit for it). Doesn't this depend on if you have a pre-nup especially in states like CA? I got married super early and had to divide everything equally even though I e

I hope I don't come off as rude but do you really not remember spending $1000 on shoes? Basically any transaction over $100 stays in my mind for a while and I never get confused when I see my CC statement. I guess if you're making

I doubt the OP is joking. I left the Bay exactly for reasons like this, I don't want to become collateral damage due to factors outside of my control that are well documented and happening way too often for my liking. Even a few years

Some markets were less impacted than others, San Diego for example went down a mere 20% at the trough. Over a longer timeline, housing has appreciated by hundreds of percentage points in SD.

Right, I just tried to simplify the thought experiment to counter the argument that tech and commodities are as important to the consumer as housing is.
