Participant[quote=dd123]From what I heard from my close friends working on Qualcomm, Motorola wants to be as far as possible from Qualcomm.[/quote]
MMI haven’t used QCOM’s chip in their android phone since day one. So, that’s not surprising that they want to be far away from QCOM. HTC is a much bigger customer for QCOM.ParticipantI don’t know if there’s a single “right policy amount”. Everyone have different needs. It depends on your assets and risk exposure (owning your own company, owning rentals, etc). It also depend on your budget. I have $1M policy right now and it cost me only $199/year. It’s the right amount for me right now. If I get a rental for example, I might increase that to $2M or $3M. I have all my insurance with AAA, so I can’t really answer your 2nd question.

+1Participant[quote=paramount]Reading through these comments it sounds like everyone here is both greedy and materialistic.
LIving within needs/means is code for greed and hoarding.
In case your not aware, you WILL NOT be taking it ($$) with you – it’s been tried before.[/quote]
Materialistic? Really? Are you reading the same posts I’m reading? This must be the first time I’ve heard someone calling frugality as greed and hoarding.ParticipantI would count home equity as retirement asset if you don’t plan to leave anything for your heir or if you don’t have any. Since you can do reverse mortgage.
Participant[quote=walterwhite]Need to teach my kids how to separate real from phony wealth so they may marry correctly[/quote]
The problem with that is, true real wealth are hard to identify until you’re already in a serious relationship with them.Participant[quote=UCGal]Back to the video in the OP…
The concept of not expanding your spending when your income increases is a tough thing to accomplish. It goes against our consumer culture.But it’s a good message.[/quote]
I totally agree. It’s very tough to spend like you’re making $20k/year when you’re making $200k/year. But when you learn how to do it, you’ll be accumulating wealth very quickly.ParticipantBG, your post is quite long, so I won’t quote it, but here are my replies. Just because a school is rated a 1 doesn’t mean that there was something wrong with the measurement. There are several schools in SD a lone that have a 1. Hoover, Lincoln, and Crawford are a few HS in SD with a score of 1.
WRT my wife, like I said, her and a few others (valedictorians) end up going to prestigious universities and are doing well. But that’s a very small subset of the graduating class. Many don’t even graduate. Like I said, bad school is not a guarantee that your kids will be pregnant or a gang banger. It just mean a larger portion of the student body are getting into those activities.
If you think it’s easy for “teachers are teaching students using rote memorization techniques to the test and nothing more.”, then why aren’t all schools getting a 10 on their API score.
Going back to your RE point, to some it is, to others, it’s not. We all have different priority. Why are you faulting others for having different priority than yours? To some, an area with low score IS worse, because that’s high in their priority list. I know I would never by a place in an area with test score <7/8. Some other have higher standard than I do. School's API score is not the ONLY factor people look at when buying a house. But it is one factor. How important it is depends on the individual.
Participant[quote=walterwhite]Well ok Maybe API scores matter a tiny bit but only if they’re real low. As long as they’re reasonable it doesn’t matter.[/quote]
It’s not so much that higher API score will make your kids smarter. But the school with higher scores means there are more kids with scored better (hence the average API score is higher). The more students who do well, will mean more demand for AP classes. More demand for AP classes = more AP classes available. Then there’s also the analogy I’ve used, which is comparing schooling/competition to running a marathon. If you’re a big fish in a small pond, you tend to not be as prepared for the kind of competition you have to deal with at the University level. If you go to top rated school (doesn’t have to be the top but schools that in the mid 800s API would do), you’ll be prepared to deal with those kind of competition, since you’ve been dealing with it through out primary schools.Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=walterwhite]API scores mean nothing.

fuck the API score. meaningless….all that matters is whether you find your own way.[/quote]

To those who say API scores mean nothing, have you guys/gals gone/or know someone who have gone to a school that have an API score of 1? My wife did and she can tell you endless stories of bad teachers, classmates who drop out due to pregnancies, gang activities. She and some of her friend survived and end up going to various top rated Universities and are successful today. Others didn’t fare so well. However, I wouldn’t want to take the risk and put my kids in that environment. API score is nothing more than a number that summarize the student body’s average academic performance. So, it means something, but it’s not going to make your dumb kid smart or make your smart kid dumb. Take it for what it is.Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=walterwhite]API scores mean nothing.

Will the ones in Carlsbad take down the ones that advertise “Carlsbad Scools”?[/quote]
Don’t hold your breath. SMUSD and SDUSD still does not hold the same caché, even when the numbers say otherwise. I don’t suspect that will change for a long long time. -
