Interesting. I’ve never tried this type of “active rest” day where I specifically do the same or a similar set of exercises at lower weight.

There’s not a thing wrong with happily accepting a great offer, either. Congrats on the new gig.

Never tell an employer you’re “looking.”

Agreed!

FYI, “save half your net income” wasn’t advice from me, it was just a statement.

You and I have similar retirement plans.

He’s got a lot of good ideas. I like reading the site, but I think he turns a lot of people off because his viewpoint is rather extreme.

I completely agree with having a balance. I cut back on the things that aren’t important to me (e.g. I don’t care about driving a nice car, so I don’t), and spend on the things that I value (mostly travel and camera gear).

Undoubtedly. But that still needs to be balanced with living the kind of life you want.

Retirement planning is such a bipolar topic.

Google’s latest round of low battery drain location services are pretty freakin’ efficient (they’re not that new, I think it’s been about a year now since everyone got them). I get no identifiable battery drain using my home as a trusted location for my tablet.

This is really a usability improvement, rather than a change to the way the Smart Lock operates. It should have essentially the same battery drain as the previous address-based locations.

From a broader perspective, I agree.

A couple of the posts so far have missed the mark on the audience this advice is for.

“Get along without you” should always be different from working optimally.

No... strictly speaking, what unlocks the device is your voice saying the hotword. Just because the default word is the same for all devices doesn’t mean that it’s not a combination of both. Just speaking around your device won’t wake it up, so the hotword is critical to the unlock process.

What?

Right, but technically I’d argue you must know the phone’s “hotword” in order to unlock it. That seems like it’d place it in a grey area - it’s biometric access, but it requires knowledge of the unlock phrase. I’m no lawyer, though.

Not at all. Moto’s implementation only lets you do an extremely limited subset of functions without having to unlock your phone using the PIN. The “Trusted” implementation of Google Play Services is an actual bypass of the lock screen.

I wonder if this will be covered under 5th amendment protection, or if it will be similar to fingerprint unlocking?
