Consider a ride-sharing app that automatically matches drivers and riders based on location and preferences. The user doesn't need to understand the complex algorithms behind the scenes; they just need to input their destination. The system meets them where they are by simplifying the process and making it accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical expertise. The trade-off here is that while this strategy can lead to rapid adoption and widespread market penetration, it may also result in a lack of depth and customization. Users might become dependent on the simplicity provided and may not develop the skills or understanding needed to adapt to more complex systems or changes.
VS
Open-source software, where users are expected to have or develop some technical skills to fully utilize and contribute to the project. This might involve participants willing to invest time in understanding the rules and strategies to effectively contribute and reach the best outcomes. The system assumes a level of sophistication and willingness to learn from its users. The trade-off here is that while this method fosters a community of skilled, self-reliant users who are invested in the product's development, it may also limit the initial user base to those who are willing to put in the effort. This can slow down adoption but ultimately leads to a more robust and adaptable user community.
Meeting users where they are focuses on minimizing friction and maximizing immediate utility, which can be beneficial for short-term gains and broad accessibility. However, it may sacrifice long-term adaptability and innovation, as users are not encouraged to engage deeply with the system.
Conversely, influencing users to meet you prioritizes robust, scalable solutions that leverage user input and collaboration. This approach can lead to more sustainable and efficient outcomes, as users are empowered to contribute to and improve the system.
It's all relative to your point of reference.
Has anyone thought about this, at least as a pay raise negotiation tactic?
Find the spot price of gold when you got hired. For me in Jan 2020 it was $1582 per oz.
Now take your annual pay and divide that by the spot price of gold when you got hired e.g. 100,000 / 1582 == 63.21 oz of gold per year.
Now get the current spot price of gold: $2720 per oz
Multiply the amount of gold you should be getting (63.21 oz) by the current price of gold: 63.21 * 2720 = $171,931.
In my case, I should be getting paid $171,931 per year based on the original amount I agreed to 5 years ago.
I have it on reserve for when I cannot bear life any longer 😂
First Derivative: This is the inflation rate itself (the change in price levels over time).
Second Derivative: This would represent the acceleration of inflation, or how the inflation rate is changing over time. If this is positive, inflation is accelerating; if negative, inflation is decelerating.
Third Derivative: This would represent the rate of change of the acceleration of inflation. So, if you say "the rate of increase in inflation is decreasing," it could imply that the acceleration of inflation is decreasing, which would indeed relate to the third derivative.

Ok. I secured my username. Now what?
Why would amethyst not keep my security filter hidden word? After I close and reopen, it's gone.
To calculate the ROI considering the value of the food you consume, we need to assign a monetary value to the food produced and consumed by your family. This will help us understand the true financial impact of your homesteading efforts.
### Step 1: Estimate the Value of Consumed Food
1. **Milk:**
- You produce 4 gallons of milk per day, selling half and consuming half.
- Daily consumption: 2 gallons
- Annual consumption: \(2 \text{ gallons/day} \times 365 \text{ days} = 730 \text{ gallons}\)
- Value of consumed milk: \(730 \text{ gallons} \times 7 \text{ dollars/gallon} = 5,110 \text{ dollars}\)
2. **Eggs:**
- You produce roughly 3,000 eggs annually.
- Assuming a market price of $0.25 per egg:
- Value of consumed eggs: \(3,000 \text{ eggs} \times 0.25 \text{ dollars/egg} = 750 \text{ dollars}\)
3. **Beef:**
- You get about 240 lbs of grass-fed beef from the calf.
- Assuming a market price of $5 per pound:
- Value of consumed beef: \(240 \text{ lbs} \times 5 \text{ dollars/lb} = 1,200 \text{ dollars}\)
4. **Rabbit Meat:**
- You produce roughly 70 kits, with each kit yielding about 2 lbs of meat.
- Total rabbit meat: \(70 \text{ kits} \times 2 \text{ lbs/kit} = 140 \text{ lbs}\)
- Assuming a market price of $5 per pound:
- Value of consumed rabbit meat: \(140 \text{ lbs} \times 5 \text{ dollars/lb} = 700 \text{ dollars}\)
5. **Total Value of Consumed Food:**
- Total value = Value of milk + Value of eggs + Value of beef + Value of rabbit meat
- Total value = \(5,110 + 750 + 1,200 + 700 = 7,760 \text{ dollars}\)
### Step 2: Calculate Net Income Including Consumed Food Value
1. **Total Income:**
- Income from selling milk: $5,100
- Value of consumed food: $7,760
- **Total Income:** \(5,100 + 7,760 = 12,860 \text{ dollars}\)
2. **Total Costs:**
- Total out-of-pocket costs: $2,100 (as stated)
- Annual operating costs: $5,250
- **Total Costs:** \(2,100 + 5,250 = 7,350 \text{ dollars}\)
3. **Net Income:**
- Total Income - Total Costs
- \(12,860 - 7,350 = 5,510 \text{ dollars}\)
### Step 3: Calculate ROI
\[
\text{ROI} = \frac{5,510}{7,250} \times 100 \approx 75.86\%
\]
### Conclusion
Considering the value of the food you consume, the ROI for your homesteading investment in the first year is approximately **75.86%**. This indicates a positive return on your investment when accounting for the savings from the food produced and consumed at home.
