Yeah in India local politicians and higher level members of the state government profit from this
Raise property taxes and you suddenly have a lot of people who don’t want home values to go up any more. This is a common phenomenon in the sun belt, especially the Houston, TX area where you’ll see public meetings crashed by people opposed to projects they think will raise property values and thus their tax bill.

But, good luck campaigning for tax increases.
Given the way the US oscillates between administrations with oppressive tendencies and administrations which are at best squeamish when they violate international human rights laws, to me this just sounds like a skunkworks project.

Lotsa business wankery getting in the way simpler goals:

- People > ideas > egos.

- Avoid too many personal pronouns "I" and "you," use "we" and "us."

- Beat on ideas, not people.

- Give some public credit now and then, feedback usually give it privately.

- Ask of something finished or unfinished: "How does this suck?" to get feedback.

- Organic, small meetings.

- "One page" approach... get people taking turns scribbling on a whiteboard, paper or electronic device.

- Be the party... invite people.
yes, it really is.
Yes because China and US have the same value system. Both countries are interchangeable even though one has extensive history of practicing free speech while the other locks their citizens up for speaking up.
Yes. To default just don't pay. What I think you meant to ask was is there a way to escape repayment (get the debts wiped out in bankruptcy). Yes. It is possible to ask and get a judge to wipe out the student debt loan but the bar is usually fairly high and unlikely. Can it be done en masses or exploited. Not likely. You'd likely need Congress' involvement. Good luck with that and good luck with Devos.
Not if you bet on the double-A tranches. Nobody will think to do that, not even Michael Burry.
For the same reason garbage collection service is mandatory in most cities: because people will generate trash and dispose of it one way or another. In the city I lived in if you don't pay the trash bill they add it to your sewer bill, and if you don't pay your sewer bill they put a lien on your house.

When you go to sell your house, do you want the government interviewing potential buyers and vetoing the ones it thinks are likely to buy a car and park it on the street? A block or two away if necessary? Sorry sir, the high bidder for your house works in an industry that makes him a car-commuting risk. You'll have to settle for the second-highest bidder.
Universities need to be well rounded because students don't know what they're doing. Interests and motivation wax and wane during formative years. And ultimately degree plans stick due to publishing and research grants. (unless you're at a technical school in sheep's clothing)
There's something really beautiful about streets without setbacks like this [1]. I can't put my finger on what it is but they're all over Amsterdam and Japan, and they always make me so happy to walk though. Does anyone know what it is about these?

On the flip side, a lot of those student loans are subject to income based repayment.
The reactions to stories about housing attract a visceral reaction on HN, because it’s a real struggle. We all see the world through our own eyes, and even fairly affluent folks struggle with housing costs.

SROs are problematic because they aren’t and cannot be communities. They are warehouses for the desperate, and mostly dropping off points. Residents get more isolated. Others can describe that experience better than I.

I can understand the perspective that homeless people are better off with some sort of home than the street. But the reality is homelessness is complex, and a flophouse doesn’t provide the support that people need to get back on their feet. The folks who posted about their experiences are inspirational, but I don’t know if they are typical.
> And it is most certainly not 'mostly a non-issue'. Counterfeiting happens all the time.

How often have you had any real-life issues with counterfeit money? How often has anyone you know? How often have you even heard of it happening, relative to how often you see and hear of cash being used? A sibling comment provided a source that said that only 1% of 1% of cash is counterfeit.

> Nobody. Kong is printed algorithmically, like any other cryptocurrency.

What? Notes and coins are a human-made physical items. They’re manufactured by someone.
This is fascinating science. Can you explain more?
Have done a lot of mistakes already and learnt a lot too. But a mentor is the best if you wish to progress in the positive direction. Lack of it, obviously cannot be filled by books, and you try to seek advice in books hoping that someone in the same shoes happen to write how he/she got success can help you as well.

Finding a mentor is definitely not the easiest thing as well.

But I totally agree, any form of procrastination is bad (even reading).
This is a good idea. Even if there is shaming by ranking universities with most to least number of student loan defaulters or alumni loans will be a good start here.

My wife and I lived a very simple lifestyle for years (7ish) after college so we could pay off student loan debt. Awesome Ford Tempo car, local honeymoon, Studio apt for first 5 years, limited eating out. She has a masters (more loans), and is a teacher. So that made it even tighter.

Is there any data on if folks with student loans are living above their means? I.e new TV’s, new car lease, vacations, ordering out.

I am serious when I ask, as I read a ton, and can’t get to the root. I hear many different anecdotes. This is a serious problem, and I am truly out of sync on the main causes of payback ailment.

Google collecting more personal data on it's users and passing it off as a helpful service? I never would have guessed. /s

I only mentioned them because I was googling for student debt strike projects and I'd heard of them before. The jubilee project is a form of mutual aid and less a strike.

The point of a strike is to build power for the striking class so that the creditor class is forced to make significant concessions up to and including relieving all of it. To be clear, this would mean huge numbers of people simply stop paying in a coordinated and public fashion.
There really is not a decline in numbers, though. This seems more an attempt to make a single widget to replace needing hams. Communications in disasters is not so much a function of having the best power toys but rather the best operational doctrine.

Hams have the operational doctrine and also the flexibility in terms of tools to use. If the message doesn’t get through on one frequency band, change bands. If your transmitter modulation isn’t working, switch modes all the way downward to continuous wave Morse Code if you have to. The sun has been on a multi-week streak without sunspots so High Frequency communication will take operator skill to get messages through.
> There are lots of sparsely populated areas in CA where developers can effectively build whatever they want.

Objectively wrong: every county in California requires building permits and has zoning.
We can only print Kong; we cannot remove it from circulation. We're limited in the total amount of Kong we can print.

We likely will need to have another document detailing how the lock drop works. The short version is that you lock up Ethereum in a smart contract for between 30 and 365 days; when you prove that fact to a given Kong lock drop contract instance you receive Kong token (at the end of the period).

> If you decentralize printing (or a lot of counterfeit/duplicate Kong gets introduced into the market some other way) then offline verification seems insufficient. What’s to stop me from printing and spending two copies of a note if I know the other parties won’t certify the transaction online until much later?

Here's how I see offline verification working:

(1) I sync up directly with an Ethereum node and cache all the Kong note smart contracts (ideally my own would be the most trustworthy). Most importantly this contains the public key for each Kong note known at the time and the token associated with that note
(2) I accept any notes that I can electronically verify from that cache. That's done by challenging the note to sign a message and verifying the response.
(3) I don't accept any notes not in my cache. The downside is that I can't accept very new notes, but we suspect that if we continue to produce Kong that we'll do so in large batches infrequently.
On a related note, CSS is indeed harder than most think. That being said, I’ve been using CSS going on 20 years now and have seen a lot trends cone and go. One current trend is that there seems to be a lot of unnecessary complexity. SCSS, for example, is indeed powerful, but most sites and web apps I’ve worked on don’t need it and could basically have the entire component-based layout structure rewritten with a single, efficient, well-organized standard CSS file that doesn’t need to be built from 30-odd separate SCSS files. The same goes for so-called transpiled Javascript “languages” such as Coffeescript and Typescript. These, for the most part, add unnecessary layers of abstraction and complexity, making it far more difficult to debug. By using these abstractions, we developers are also doing ourselves a big disfavor because we are often not learning the underlying technology that the browser actually understands. Of course I get that there are domain-specific problems that these tools are trying to solve, but they are often inappropriately employed simply because they’re trendy. With some apps I’ve worked on, it’s anbalagous to using a farm tractor when all you really needed was a lawnmower.
To be fair, if you have money (which Google does) you can buy a LOT of this data, every single day, forever.

There are at least two distinct outfits which pay grey hats to steal data from black hats who in turn obtained it typically through cheesy script kiddie attacks on web sites or phishing.

If you give them not very much money they'll "monitor" their stream of supposedly fresh stolen data (a lot of it isn't fresh because crooks are also often liars) for specific data items you tell them about. This is a bad deal, but apparently some pretty big US companies pay for that service. It's fine though because everybody reading this has unique strong passwords for every account right? Right?

If you give them a LOT of money (or if you were say one of my former employers and you owned the company that does this outright) you just get the raw data. As like UTF-16 XML or CSV files with different types of quoting on each line, or whatever other crazy and inadequately documented nonsense came to mind for each such type of file delivered.
A lot of people got loans for degrees that don't pay. Or went a few years then dropped out.

I went to a college known for its recreation management program. Cool industry. Not a lot of good paying jobs. I know a few universities with amazing turf programs... Only so many golf courses and turf fields that need someone with that kind of knowledge and that pay well. Most jobs in turf are mowing and applying chemicals that only one person on staff needs a big degree to ensure proper maintenance.

Some universities have started doing income share agreements. They front the tuition cost for a portion of your future income. Depending on your degree program, they will take X percentage for Y years.

The business of Detroit gaining ownership of houses due to unpaid taxes is huge. There are some documentaries on this but the short of it is the main seller of properties in Detroit is the city itself due to how easily it gains control over properties through taxation. The same kind of thing has been happening in Chicago with car impounding that leads to auctioning off cars.
One way would be to encourage alternative investments. It's actually really tough for non-wealthy Americans to invest in capital markets in an efficient way.

Another would be to encourage them to really commit to the value of their homes (instead of the price). If property taxes in California rose with the value of homes, many more people in San Francisco would have found it expedient to (a) sell to developers or (b) let out their homes or (c) remodel their homes as denser housing. Well...(c) could have happened, if it were not so difficult to build in San Francisco, but that goes back to helping people find better ways to invest, by not discouraging commerce.

Most investments work the way you describe: "...most increases in home value are not created by the homeowner." It's the same when you put money in a 401k or an index fund. Investing is putting capital out there and hoping it comes back. Doesn't make sense to advance this argument against home ownership as an investment.
Just like the sibling, I admit I’ve never heard this definition of line rate...
Which "secure computing element" are you using?
The problem is compounded by the fact that students do not get to choose who their loan servicer is and thus a few servicers like Navient have a government approved monopoly on that business. Can look up many reports on their incompetence and misleading information that funnels students into repayment plans that maximize their own revenue.

Every time I've raised this, you get whacked by the AI crowd: "if the listeners can't tell the different between music composed by computer and composed by a human, what does it matter".

Even if a neural network can learn to simulate timbre, tone and emotion from listening to the masters, it doesn't feel anything while doing so. And that's what makes it uninteresting to me (other than on a purely technical level).

This scheme sounds (unsurprisingly) similar to a well known crypto scenario. Here is a page that describes it[0]. Copying from there:

You and I need to communicate via the National Postal Service. What you want to communicate is secret, so you don't want a postal worker or some random schmoe who finds your mail in the mailbox or a package on your stoop to be able to open it up and read what's inside, and you know from experience that any time you send something in the mail without securing it, it either gets read or (if it's not just text) stolen. We must live in a country with a really corrupt postal service, I guess -- kind of like the Internet.

We each have access to an arbitrary number of indestructible boxes, and an arbitrary number of indestructable key locks. Each box can have as many locks on it as you like. Unfortunately, each lock has only one key, and only the person who possesses the lock has the key. We can send things to each other in locked boxes, but of course the recipient doesn't have the key to the lock because the sender has it. Sending the key unsecured will get it stolen or, worse, copied. We also have no way to meet each other in person to exchange keys securely (and if we did, we could just skip the postal service altogether, anyway).

How can we arrange, with these resources, to communicate securely with each other?

This won't replace HAM radio in a disaster scenario. This might provide a long-distance digital comms capability post-disaster. Even then, LoRa throughput is so low that I don't see how it would be useful unless an entire region goes full zombie apocalypse and this network replaces... I don't know, messenger pigeons?

In a long range configuration, LoRa has a theoretical max throughput of about 140bps (bits) and that's assuming only one device is transmitting and no packet loss.

LoRa is built for low power, long range, low throughput sensor networks. It's not really suitable for a chatty mesh network. To get an idea of the intended use for it, take a look at LoRaWAN limits:

* An average of 30 seconds uplink time on air, per day, per device.

* At most 10 downlink messages per day, including the ACKs for confirmed uplinks.

* A good goal is to keep the application payload under 12 bytes, and the interval between messages at least several minutes.

Yes. Being rejected by an employer in the typical case hurts a prospective employee more than it hurts the employer doing the rejecting. I mean, look at who applies to whom and who’s usually perceived as being the stronger party in interviews. That tells the story right there.

[edit] how about this: you find a case where a normal employee tells a company they need to spend a half hour typing their job ad details and past pay for the same position into a web form especially for that applicant before they’ll even be considered, then also reformat their ad to match new specs the applicant gives them, and submit that to the applicant as a word document, and the company actually does it, and I’ll eat my hat. Employees are plainly the weaker supplicant in those interactions. Yes they’re “free” to do otherwise, but their job search will... go poorly.

Stores have issues with it all the time. That's why they don't often take large bills. I and my personal acquaintances don't accept a lot of cash in exchange for goods and services.

You think 1% of cash being counterfeit is not a problem? That sounds like a huge problem to me.
