• Why I Bought an Encyclopedia

  Try Kiwix. It's an offline reader, you can download the complete English-language Wikipedia, complete with media, in about 100GB. They also have a bunch of other collections like Project Gutenberg. https://kiwix.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• An Introduction to the WARC File

  Very helpful to know that! Zimit[1] also uses warc files as an intermediate step to producing Zim files. You can use these Zim files to read and search websites offline with the excellent app Kiwix[2]. I think 'Kiwix for Android' and the Kiwix PWA support Zim files made with Zimit, with the support with the desktop Kiwix application currently work-in-progress. Other information about archiving websites is... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Wikipedia exec salaries are sparking a debate on tech sector wages

  For the locally hosted part of it, you’re looking at Kiwix[1]. [1] https://kiwix.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Wikipedia-grounded chatbot “outperforms all baselines” on factual accuracy

  Without article history and videos, it's small enough that many modern smartphones can have a local offline copy. http://kiwix.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Downloadable resources?

  It is pretty massive, but you can get the whole thing in a .zim file from kiwix.org. I downloaded it from there and put it on all my units before shipping them out. Source: about 1 year ago

• What to do with extra $13k as a 20 year old

  Go to betterment.com and put it in their cash reserve. You'll get a good interest rate that should help at least reduce some inflation risk. Source: about 1 year ago

• Financially illiterate

  If you want a less frightening way to invest, betterment.com was my gateway into investing. It has a pre-selected basket of index funds and bonds, and you can just select your risk tolerance, set up a deposit schedule, and they take care of the rest. I started with $10/paycheck 11 years ago, and now I have almost $20,000 invested as I kept increasing my automated deposits as my salary grew. Source: over 1 year ago

• Weekly note about a direct competitor outdoing M1+

  Also about Betterment: they too started offering crypto at exactly the wrong time, but unlike M1 they have the decency to hide it from view! If I go to betterment.com now, I don't see any reference to crypto on the main page unless you scroll all the way down to the site map at the bottom. That's something else that M1+ could offer:.

• Moving out at 18, no idea how to be an adult.

  Lastly sign up for a free investment app like acorns, betterment.com, robin hood etc. Once you've got your budget setup dump everything else into those when combined with your credit card buffer you can always pull back out or preferrably reduce next months investments if you find yourself low on funds one month.

• Newbie Question - Investment Account

  There are muuuuuuch better options today that Edward Jones. Your "local guy" makes a living adding maintenance costs to your account. The original poster here could do really well by checking out betterment.com and just following the on-screen prompts (they offer IRAs, too). Next time you meet with your local guy, ask him how much (the exact dollar amount) he's made from the fees on your investment account...and... Source: about 2 years ago
