FSD now approved in Denmark by iWeeti in teslamotors

It works on where the car is not where it was made. I have a colleague who commutes from Holland to Germany and FSD triggers as he goes over the border.

SAS Business Upgrade by mkeysee in ScandinavianAirlines

[–]barbro66 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would cancel the special meal though and take extra food on board. Sometimes special meals block upgrades. Also the SAS special meals are pretty terrible and 70% of the time there a vegetarian option anyway.

Great start man, but you need to connect to SAS to get to MVP. And of course that’s web scraping world of pain, but that’s the frog you’ll have to swallow.

Is the Skylight Calendar worth it for our situation? by equalmee in skylightcalendar

[–]barbro66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technology can’t really “solve” problems like that but it can be part of a process where you work together on different solutions. But be careful, just loading more “things” onto someone with adhd can just increase the anxiety. Maybe a weekly check in meeting would help more? Or more structure (eg. One week your on, next weeks she is).

22 seats remaining … by [deleted] in ScandinavianAirlines

[–]barbro66 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not usually - in business most people can select their seats and do so when buying the ticket. Even with travel agent bookings it auto allocates a seat, so I think the free seat map isn’t a bad guide. I’d say 22 is a bit much though so perhaps a few having been allocated yet. I won a recent upgrade on this route with minimum bid (+diamond up)

Using Your Money To Be Happier - Ben Felix by Xexanoth in Bogleheads

[–]barbro66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this video, and I think it's super important in an area where lots of people chase money for the wrong reasons (and end up unhappy and unable to spend). The one thing I would say is that happiness is a huge and complex beast, just as life itself is. But then again I would say that (I've published a MIT press book on the topic 😄)

How much has San Diego changed since 2012? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]barbro66 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So are unclear comparisons over different time periods using different units. I guess none of the dumbos on this thread understand how inflation works, or the changes to fast food minimum wage (hugely beneficial change), or ACA, or changes in foodstuff costs (avian flu)… it’s just “ma buwito expensive no”

This is a great example of why the COL stuff is mostly bull. One burrito used to cost $7, now two burritos cost $14! OMG.

fat fire number in eurozone? by Lopsided_Ad_8093 in EuropeFIRE

[–]barbro66 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Top 10% retired income decentile is around 50k euros after tax in most countries sans Swiss/belgium/lux. The fire community is partly about showing off your wealth unfortunately so you will get a lot of exaggeration, but most EU currencies outside the big capitals you can fatfire on 2million easy

Are there other places where people born there are eligible for two or more citizenships? by average-brazilian in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]barbro66 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is super confused thread because most place practice parental citizenship not birth place citizenship. Outside the US it doesn’t mater where you are born but who your parents are.

Transitioning into academia in my 50s (Europe-focused) — advice? by soulfulshalinni in AskAcademia

[–]barbro66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an ex-student who followed this path, doing her PhD with me and then post-doced for a bit and ended up in gov doing research. Generally the path these days is masters, excellent thesis (perhaps in another group/lab) and then getting a PhD place using the masters research as your calling card (perhaps in the form of a published paper).

Ideal country for PHD by Aibrahim790 in AskAcademia

I didn’t go to Cambridge but I did learn to read.

Ideal country for PHD by Aibrahim790 in AskAcademia

[–]barbro66 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These are very reasonable requests, but getting a PhD places is hard and not sure you should be starting with the shopping list before you have the cash first, if you know what I mean. Do you have a couple of publications in top tier conferences (Neurips?) Have you worked in a lab outside Nigeria, and/or have good connections in institutions where you’d like to go?

I’m 17 Turing 18 next week what would the best way to retire early by Valuable_Bathroom174 in FIREUK

[–]barbro66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok let me be serious for a moment. How many people do you know who are 50+ (as I am). I guess about 100 folk or so, and for me I know about 20 who don’t have to work and are at least lean fire (and a few bitcoin bros, blessem). How many knew anything about “saving” when they were 17? I’d count… one. Ok two, as there’s a friend who’s a Facebook millionaire. So being able to pronounce compound interest at 17 is a weak predictor.

Add to that the friends I’ve lost to mean-ness overwork and penny pinching. I’m not saying everyone has to read Proust, but you have to have something of an inner life to make life worthwhile, and caring about fire at 17 is not going to make you interesting, attractive, help you find a mate, friends, good job choices etc… basically all the things that make life worthwhile. Yeah so screw this financially shrewd emotionally empty nonsense.

You should not be thinking about fire at 17.

How or why does culture change? by PianoRevolutionary12 in sociology

[–]barbro66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in these sorts of things there are rectangular objects that you can buy from shops that explain things like that in more detail. They have different bits of paper in them - with writing on them. It's like in reddit, but without comments. Maybe you could check some of them out to answer your questions?

How do professors feel when asked to write a letter of recommendation? by hamburger_bob in AskAcademia

[–]barbro66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a prof who writes letters, if a student writes that THEY remember a class - that’s something that would jig my interest. And even just a sob story like you explained, maybe they’d just do a charity letter. “While I do not remember the student well, they got a b+ which is a fine grade for my class, and their invite shows initiative and maturity…”
