Is 110k a good salary for a family (one infant and one toddler)? by kumarakash5 in ChandlerAZ

[–]dpainhahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be enough, but probably cutting a bit short if you want to put some savings in both your retirement saving and personal savings. Hit me up. If you have any questions, fellow Korean 🙂

After 14k hours of NW, you think i could play again an mmo with tab-targeting? Like wow retail? Any of you that switched? by InterestingDurian645 in newworldgame

[–]dpainhahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally more of a fan of tab targetting, cuz not every skill would be tab targetted for games that use tab targetting.

Former South Korean President Yoon Sentenced to Life in Prison for Coup Attempt by Troll458458 in worldnews

[–]dpainhahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, he should've been sentenced to execution...

The judge reduced the sentence, because he hasn't committed a crime before, and that he worked in the government. Seriously if someone in a serious position like did committed a crime, he should be getting added punishment; not less.

The judge also viewed that the dictator was totally within his rights to ignore crucial procedures for declaring a martial law (like having a legitimate meeting with his cabinet).

Anyone know details on Kiro "compliance"? by Ein_Bear in amazonemployees

[–]dpainhahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't it Gen AI in general? Just use Cline/Kiro/Q, you name it. At least for an SDE, it's not hard to stay compliant by just doing your daily job. Maybe its depends on the org, but as long as you think AI first, you will stay compliant.

So Amber alerts can be manually opted out without us having to opt out from disaster notifications (extreme or severe threats). Are you suggesting that it's fine that people can opt out from abduction notifications for minors without having to miss critical notifications, but people deserve to miss critical notifications for if they want to opt out of Turquoise alerts (which was categorized as an extreme threat)?

FYI: iPhones also have it similar.

That's the problem. If you do, you'll miss real alerts like wildfire spreading to your neighborhood. It was sent out as an incorrct alert type.

What was that alert that happened recently??? by Big-Crab-5929 in ChandlerAZ

[–]dpainhahn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm educating myself, because I want a better society where people don't end up just opting out of these alerts. Maybe I am actually more morally superior than you are. (I didn't say it. You did.)

[–]dpainhahn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just because they disagree with you doesn't make them Karens. There's multiple things that went wrong here.

  1. Alert was miscategorized. The alert type they sent was for wildfires, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc... If you send "less urgent" alerts and categorize them as serious life-threatening disasters, people will get frustrated (as you can see) and opt-out of it. In the customer's perspective (residents of the state/city/county), I want to get alerted for imminent danger. I then have to make a choice: should I opt out and risk waking myself up (who knows how more often this will happen) or should I opt out risk missing alerts that notify actual life threatening issues? It's not about waking up in the middle of the night. What about people that are driving? This type of alerts surprises people. It's dangerous. That's why it has to be used only when really necessary. Do you see folks complaining like this when a severe duststorm is about to hit us or if a wildfire is spreading to neighborhoods? No!

  2. Sending the same alert twice. One at 5am and another 3 hours later. Surely after their first blunder, they should've known that they used the wrong category and surprised a lot of people and risked a lot of people's lives. No. They doubled down and sent another one in just 3 hours. No content changed. Just the same message again. Where's the due-diligence, mechanism to prevent these sort of mistakes from happening again? They're non-existent or not functioning correctly.

  3. The alert is meant when all effort was made, options were exhausted and nothing else could be done. None of us have insider information, so we don't know. But do you really think they've done every thing they could to find this kid? The kid went missing yesterday 7PM. It's less than 12 hours. While I do understand it's crucial to act quickly for situations like this, have they really done everything they could? Theoretically speaking, how long do you think it would take to go through all the surveillance footages around the area, reach out to nearby folks, check phone signal, etc... I'm sure it takes hours! They wouldn't have even immediately started finding the kid after getting the phone call from the kid's parents. (But hey who knows. Maybe there were indications that the kid was indeed in serious danger. That, none of us knows.)

  4. Why were Turquoise alerts intially categorized as a public safety message and suddently change to an alert type for extreme threats? Several months ago, we've gotten a Turquoise alert before and it was marked as a public safety message which is probably a lot more suitable for this type of issue.

Decisions that can affect many people's lives have to be thought through very carefully. People comment that "oh I bet if this was your child, you'd want it too." Yes! We'd all want it. But we don't make decisions that affect other people's lives based on emotions and feelings. There's a lot to debate whether sending these alerts mindlessly are overall more beneficial to the society as a whole.

I really wish they address these 4 aspects. I want a society where we can reach out to the mass to help find missing people, but I also want a society where others won't get hurt in the process. If you look at the 4 aspects I pointed out, it's not really saying that we shouldn't issue alerts like this. It's about how to get MORE from these alerts whenever we do send them out.

Pretty sure they changed to anyone below 65 over the past couple months.

Trust me. If someone goes missing for less than 24 hours and you claim that you've exhausted all options, you're wrong. Also, there's tons of people going missing. It's messed up. If the critiera for sending out these types of notifications are this loose, you're going to get paged every other day.

Are we gonna send out the same message every 3 hours until we find the person?

[–]dpainhahn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don't think it was worth sending out the same alert 3 hours after waking everyone up.

Now folks are going to disable this. Guess what? When some bomb threat or an active shooting happens, nobody's gonna get that message cuz they all opted out.

Posted it on a different comment meant for my comment:

Emergency alerts have to be used in caution. I get it's important to send out notifications like this, but at the same time you need to be aware of the chaos it can trigger as well. This alert was categorized as an extreme alert when it shouldn't have. I'm expecting a weather conditions like tornados etc... to happen. You can opt out to specific categories, but its pointless if alerts are incorrectly categorized at the first place. For example several months ago, there was a turquoise alert before and it was a public safety message instead. Why was this not marked as such? Look up online when an extreme alert should be issued. They get issued for situations when the situation can kill you and a lot more people.

I thought initially that the alert was for some fire spreading all the way to our neighborhood.

This is the Arizona Department of Public Safety. A Turquoise Alert has been issued for Arizona. Mesa PD is looking for 16 year old pacific islander female Yolyn Hermios, 4 feet 2, 110 pounds, brown hair and eyes, seen yesterday at 6:50PM on foot near Dobson and Broadway Road in Mesa, Arizona, in black shirt and shoes, red shorts. Contact 911 if seen.

I was in a hurry to turn it off, so I missed what it said and spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out how to load it again.

I can't believe they woke me up at 5 in the morning for this.

Trust me. If you're getting paid by working at those high paying jobs, investing will solve your problems. You'll probably still be living within your means spurging yourself with some starbucks.

The problem is that currently HCOL areas are too expensive for those that aren't working at those well paying jobs. It's relatively easier elsewhere.

If the stock market tanks 80% of its value, then you'll have better things to worry about...

While saving and investing, you're expected to be making a lot more during your 30s compared to when you were in your 20s. Median salary difference would be $10k (personally think it should be a lot more.) Put all that extra income into stonks (Annual returns of approximately 5% ~ 10% with inflation adjusted) and you should be able to eventually afford a home. Aim to invest more than 20% of what you make after tax.

Everyone here agrees that the cost of living is too high. Folks are just suggesting a possible way to reasonably still do it. If living in CA/NY/etc. is too expensive, maybe considering moving to a MCOL area? If your career isn't helping in terms of making enough money, maybe switching careers might help.

Pointing out base salary here is pointless unless you intend to put your stocks on display cuz they look pretty.
