This is an insane and uninformed take. The malware described in TFA can even more trivially harvest passwords, which have never lived in a TPM. Passwords offer no security benefit over passkeys.

I share the same sentiment, and my account is at least ten years old.

Suites are still in trend, but Suites are not "in". That is the point here. AI is being marketed beyond what it is honestly capable.

Our jobs are basically sifting through PR garbage and making use of what it’s actually capable of. Obviously there’s a lot of fluff, but there is real use cases for myself as well.

That sounds better for him than dropping it?

Traditional 401k balances transfer to traditional IRAs, and Roth 401k balances transfer to Roth IRAs.

I guess dying destitute because you saved nothing is more romantic?

The romance of Dickens gets less appealing with wisdom.

The 20% includes pension contributions.

They also hold disproportionate wealth. It is absurd to arbitrarily exclude them.

$100k is and was a historically high salary, especially when millennials were entering the job market (~1999-2018). Inflation adjusted to 2026 dollars, that's $132-200k. Median adult full-time income is $60-72k.

We do not have tens of millions of hungry people unless you're including being a bit peckish before lunch time.

USDA says that 13.7% of US households experienced food insecurity in 2024 [0]. Extrapolate that against population and you get 47 million people.

EDIT since I can't reply to irish-coffee for some reason: nobody said literally starving, OP said experiencing hunger or deprivation.

You have to read their definitions. The broad 13.7% category includes everyone who was uncertain about being able to afford food.

You have to drill down to "very low food security" to reach the point where someone reports having reduced their food intake, which is a 5.4% number.

Still higher than I'd like! But it's not 47 million people.

That's correct, it's 18.5 million people, which is in the tens of millions

> Food insecurity is the limited or uncertain access to enough safe, affordable, and nutritious food to live a healthy life. It means people do not know where their next meal will come from or cannot buy enough healthy food because they lack money or other resources

Pretty big gap between literal starving and food insecurity.

Pretty big gap in quality of life between people who have no worries about their next meal and those who have to stress over every one.

If you make $2000 and your rent is $1800 are you food insecure or rent insecure?

This is a miscategorization imo, food is incredibly cheap compared to any American income or welfare program.

My comment didn’t really portray what I’m getting at. Food insecurity is obviously an indicator for financial confidence. I know people can afford food, on top of the fact they will choose to pay for it because they have to. I know people who have chosen to eat and fall behind on rent. The point is, if you’re worried about your meals, you’re not living the rest of your life with confidence. It’s not something to be brushed aside.

I agree, it should not get brushed aside. Food insecurity is used as a mask for actual problems. It’s atrocious.

Food insecurity is a bullshit category we invented because actual hunger is basically solved. Yes, it's (obviously) a much bigger category.

The new building methods and materials are genuinely better.

(Criticizing OSB and glazing plywood is crazy. They're both just composite wood products. OSB is totally fine for what it's used for.)

Having seen OSB fall apart when it gets wet vs plywood which can delaminate but is still solid wood, I would disagree. OSB works if you can ensure it stays dry.

>OSB works if you can ensure it stays dry.

Plywood is getting to be almost as bad.

The glue changed and got categorucally worse 10-20yr ago.

Not better just faster to put up, all those expensive cheap track homes and luxury apartments going up they are not made or built better not by a longshot.

Faster and cheaper to put up is better! Modern insulation is more comfortable and saves you on utility bills; modern electric is safer and supports more usecases; it's easier to attach things to drywall walls than plaster; etc, etc, etc. "The old ways were better" is rosy retrospection.
