Almost perfect. Inspirational.
It just needed to create a little box you can drag around when you click on nothing, like OS desktops have.
So here's the snippet to do that, toss this in the console and live the dream:
(() => { let startX, startY, box, dragging = false;
const style = document.createElement('style');
style.textContent = `
.___selection-box {
position: absolute;
pointer-events: none;
border: 1px dashed #2b76d6;
background: rgba(43,118,214,0.12);
z-index: 999999;
}
`;
document.head.appendChild(style);
function onDown(e) {
if (e.button !== 0) return; // left click only
startX = e.pageX;
startY = e.pageY;
dragging = true;
box = document.createElement('div');
box.className = '___selection-box';
box.style.left = startX + 'px';
box.style.top = startY + 'px';
document.body.appendChild(box);
e.preventDefault();
}
function onMove(e) {
if (!dragging) return;
const x = e.pageX, y = e.pageY;
const left = Math.min(x, startX);
const top = Math.min(y, startY);
const width = Math.abs(x - startX);
const height = Math.abs(y - startY);
Object.assign(box.style, {
left: left + 'px',
top: top + 'px',
width: width + 'px',
height: height + 'px'
});
}
function onUp(e) {
if (!dragging) return;
dragging = false;
console.log('Selection rect:', box.getBoundingClientRect());
box.remove();
box = null;
}
window.addEventListener('mousedown', onDown);
window.addEventListener('mousemove', onMove);
window.addEventListener('mouseup', onUp);
console.log(" Selection enabled. Drag with left mouse button. Check console for rect.");Deleted Comment
goo commented on Gen Z wants to retire early. They're off to a good start businessinsider.com/gen-z... · Posted by u/momirlan
People shouldn't pay any attention to these articles.
I retired early years ago. It isn't the annual budget that one has to plan for, but the unforeseen expenses. I took care of my mom and dad for a while. He had top notch medical insurance, but no one covers mental health problems. The total for 4 years of that was just into 7 figures.
Also how about that medical insurance for yourself and your family? Unless people plan on dying young, medical insurance is a huge expense. And that's just insurance, which doesn't cover all eventualities. Ambulance ride? Not covered. A quick whistle to the ER can leave you $50k lighter without trying hard. And then there's the piles of medications, many of which aren't covered.
My friend's grandmother got upper and lower dentures. $40k. Dentures, mind you, not implants.
Also, there's the every increasing cost of everything. Houses, cars, food, all types of insurance are seeing vast annual increases.
$3 million total for a retirement is a bit of a laugh, unless that person plans on keeling over at 65.
$40k for dentures? She got fleeced.
$3M for retirement right now is plenty, but you have to live like an actually middle class person.

401ks are like ~10% of the stock market: https://theirrelevantinvestor.com/2020/10/25/who-owns-the-st...
Boomer 401ks are probably <5% of the stock market, and they aren't going to 0 overnight.
The idea that boomer 401k withdrawals is going to crash the stock market or tamp out future growth is pretty strange.
Defined benefit & defined contribution pension plans are both larger chunks of the stock market than 401ks.
And all of those together are a smaller chunk than foreigner holdings.

(This is not to say that you, specifically, are a "sucker", and I don't love the term. But I think Taleb has a lot to offer on considering risk.)
goo commented on Soon, life for 40M people who depend on the Colorado River will change denverpost.com/2022/07/21... · Posted by u/orionion
I've watched a number of friends, family, and acquaintances move out to Colorado over the past decade. Several of them even proclaimed that our home region, the upper midwest, was dying on their way out. I really try to avoid indulging in schadenfreude, but it's tough sometimes.
Colorado's where the river's headwaters are: this is probably an even bigger deal for those in Utah, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Southeastern California.

The collateral limit getting triggered isn’t a particularly big deal: it just means that MSTR needs to quickly furnish more BTC as collateral or they’ll be in breach of loan covenants. But they HAVE a ton of BTC, so there’s no effect on the market. The only way this gets interesting at all is if the total bitcoin owned by mstr starts approaching the price of the loan (which it’s not even close to, but that’s the point where silvergate could lose some money…)
Really all the margin call does is reduce the amount of additional debt collateralized by bitcoin that MSTR could take on. It’s clickbait!

>>the company’s holdings were worth just over $3 billion. Its market cap, on the other hand, is roughly $1.77 billion.
Why doesn't someone aquire the company and sell all of the Bitcoin? Seems like an easy way to make a lot of money.
They have debt too. It’s clickbait style writing.
goo commented on Ask HN: Is the stock market's growth largely anything more than inflation? · Posted by u/coned88
Mind explaining then? To me printing money is always bad.
This is my favorite article about inflation https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/2021/11/24/the-truth-abo...
Inflation is not simply a matter of the government adding more money to the supply (although that's one of the actions that can help reduce the value of currency)... the flow of money (and power) is immensely complex, and inflation as a measure is a procrustean bed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrustes)

There's obviously a middle ground and ways to have a strictly better personal data posture than before, but it's a multi faceted problem balancing usability, security, and resilience
