I got lucky in certain areas and I try not to forget that.
Either way if it’s a contribution match limit or a paycheck limit, it has a green check mark next to it, so it’s gotta be an improvement on where they were. I’m all for bringing everyone up and I’m happy for them.
Say I have a 50% contribution match from my employer. For every $2 I contribute into my 401k my employer will add their own $1.
Some employers will force you to contribute a percentage of your paycheck towards your 401k, others will allow you to contribute up to a percentage of your paycheck, not all employers match though and not at the same rate. I believe my employer allows me to contribute up to 60% of my paycheck if I wanted (until the annual IRS limit is reached) but they will only match 50% of whatever dollar amount I send to the 401k account.
IRS will only let a person add $22,500 in 2023, which means if I max out my contribution my employer will add $11,250 for a total annual contribution of $33,750.
The IRS will only allow me and my employer combined to contribute $66,000 in 2023 to my 401k. I am unable to hit that $66,000 limit because my employer doesn’t match 293% of my contribution.
Compared to zero, yes, but employers can, and I know some that actually do, match up to 100%.
Edit: looks like there are a few that match 200%
When you’re just shy of a three trillion dollar company big jumps are harder. Plus with the stock up 15% for the month and up 56% for the year people’s, once balanced, portfolios are likely already overly committed to Microsoft based on how it’s performed this year. It’s hard to ignore a stock when it’s performing this well, this consistently, but it puts an investor in a precarious position. If you haven’t already invested based on the AI boom this year has brought, this wouldn’t have been a tipping point. It was a plus, but only a small plus comparatively. The shake up of OpenAI has much more potential for a big sell off for Microsoft than a buying frenzy. This was more silver lining on instability of a big bet Microsoft made.
To be fair, it hit an all time high two trading days before Altman was fired. Luckily the market was closed over the weekend, and the issue resolved in Microsoft’s favor before the market opened. Way cheaper to have the lead and a written intent from 80% of the brains stating desire to follow than having to license an external company.

If only there was a way to store state of that decision…
You must live near the equator where it’s always sunny and the sun always sets at the same time. As one moves near the poles the light shifts significantly with time and weather. Northern US States for example there could be light in the sky at 11p in the summer, and indistinguishable from midnight at 4:30p in the winter. If you get a particularly cloudy day or a smokey day you may need to turn on the lights to compensate.
Time is doable, but it’s pretty simplistic in terms of a set and forget home automation system to actually light and shade based on conditions which OP is asking for.
Well that’s sure neat. Thanks for clearing that up
