They're just comparing rent with mortgage repayments. But not maintenance on the property, rates, body corporate, opportunity cost on your deposit and stamp duty.

AI is brilliant for learning. Endlessly patient, answers all my questions at a pace that suits me, can combine knowledge for hundreds of different sources to find the right concept, or the best way to explain something. If you're not able to learn with AI, you're doing something wrong.

Just ask it to explain bloom filters to you. Keep asking questions until you get it.

"A couple who owns their home still needs a combined $730,000 in super to enjoy a comfortable retirement, according to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia.

"Around 92 per cent of Australians with super had a balance of less than $500,000 in 2022/23, according to data collected by the Australian Tax Office."

This is poor writing. It compares a retired couple with an individual of any (working) age. It's meaningless, but is meant to make you think most Australians won't be able to live a comfortable life in retirement.

Whether something is a loophole or not is somewhat subjective. The things you mentioned were added deliberately, and maybe they should change, but they're not loopholes in the sense of "abuses they didn't think were possible when making the law"

This is domestic American news. Not world news.

Yeah this device is not for me, but I'm glad it exists as it means software/OS will have to support 8gb ram for years to come, and my 16gb MacBook will benefit.

The UK still uses imperial measurements for things like height and weight.

Then how would you expect anyone to answer about a country specific think like health insurance without saying what country you're in? Are you Japanese?

That was part of the name choice. It's also the 3D version of square. Adding another dimension.

Speak for yourself mate. I don't support this.

That wasn't the reason. It's mostly because cash app became so big that it got confusing if square was the company or the product. Same way Facebook became meta once the had Instagram.
