Oregon State has a large offering of online undergrad and grad programs: https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/. There were 11,430 ecampus students in Fall 2023 [1].

The ecampus tuition (~13K/year) is still substantial compared to the in-person tuition for out-of-state students (~38K/year), and nearly identical to the in-person tuition for in-state students (~14K/year) [2].

If you hadn't heard, there was a recent clean up and botting has become basically non existent in TF2 now. It went from completely unplayable to being the experience everyone once had. Don't know how long it will last but you can hop on and enjoy it while it lasts.

It's less a question of should or shouldn't but rather can we.

Not convinced there is either the collective willpower or ability to enforce this, never mind both in sufficient quantities spread across the globe in a manner to ensure coverage to prevent the wealth simply moving
I make 750k a year, give or take. I think I paid 150k in taxes, more or less, last year.

I would gladly pay 600k a year in taxes if it meant healthcare, education, housing, and food were secured for all.

Let me keep 20% of my work for luxuries I like, but the fact that I'm only paying like 20% is fucking criminal while people are starving in this country.

I recognize I'm differently wired and have different values than most, but like, there has to be a line between 20% and 80% tax rate that we can live with.
What's often ignored is whether or not these are Realized Gains

I wouldn't be surprised if a huge majority of that $42T wasn't realized gains (sold and attributed as a Capital Gain).

It's hugely unfair to tax non-Realized Gains ... because that would be like you having the pay Income taxes on the appreciation of your home - even though you still live in your home and haven't "realized" those gains (to pay the capital gain taxes)
Not a public high bandwidth example, but a consulting team I was on implemented CRDTs in a private mobile app used for a compliance documentation use case. More of a precaution, the actual number of end-users editing a record at any given time is expected to be 1, but while reviewing their system, we found that the clients system can support multiple and sometimes their employees don't communicate/follow procedures. We first tried to convince them to make changes on their end, but their development team straight up refused.

Just like the npm package, all it should do is call isevenapi.xyz and invert the result.

> Over an hour that's 5.4 litres, 2x the weight of the engine.

This perspective is completely wrong, because it actually penalizes smaller, lighter engines, all else being completely equal. Imagine you take a 100 kg diesel engine that produces 200 HP, and uses 10 kg of fuel per hour, and through insane feat of engineering, you minimize it to only be 5 kg, while producing same power and using as much fuel. This makes the engine obviously better, but by your logic, it now uses 2x its weight in fuel, versus just 0.10x as before. This logic is obviously wrong.

You need to instead ask: how much fuel does each engine need to produce equivalent amount of energy? On this metric, jet engines are not significantly worse than piston engines.

> Competing turbine engines are much more expensive than piston engines and you can actually build pistons engines at reasonable cost

Yes, if you compare a slightly modified off-the-shelf automotive piston engine produced in millions, to a small batch jet engine, then yes, the former is cheaper. However, if you need your drone to be both very fast and fly very far (and these two are very important in military context), then off the shelf automotive piston engines are really not an option, and instead you need to invest in something very custom, which would destroy the per-unit cost advantage of piston over jet, and that’s ignoring benefits like smaller form factor allowing for much bigger payload (extra 100 kg available for warhead does make a difference).
I absolutely love Taskwarrior. I love that it'll just tell you what to do next based on weight, priority, due date, size, etc. I love annotating and adding tags/labels etc and how generic things are.

It's really a pain in the ass that I can't get it on multiple devices so I ultimately never am in the right place to add todo items. I know there's a Task champion sync-server that's rewritten as part of Taskwarrior 3.0 but it seems very early in the development and I haven't gotten to to work and have been using Inkdrop instead; would love to go back to Taskwarrior.
There are absolutely ways. It's not a "solvable once" problem, but it's solvable. When there is a need, there is a way.

It's not a necessity. Plenty of people somehow don't die even though they have landlines and no internet.
Wealth, especially generational wealth, is a complicated problem in many aspects.

The biggest 'challenge' is once you get to various echelons... of all places, I heard it best described on reddit; It's like the reverse of MMO mechanics; Rather than low levels giving you lots of growth and higher levels requiring a lot of 'grind', the farther you get the easier it is to make more money, even 'doing nothing'.

A -huge- factor nowadays is property values as well, which doesn't help.

----

There is also the concern of 'other ways' people get into that echelon.

I think of those who exploit labor, flount the law, and honestly in some cases (maybe they aren't the 1% but) those who use their power of 'celebrity' to get people to spend waaaaaay too much money on 'signature' goods or whatever else they endorse (Air Jordans come to mind as an example.)

It's all kinda gross to me tbh.

I mean, if wine is a problem they did basically the same thing with the WSL, especially version 1 (version 2 is just a VM, but the concept of running unmodified Linux binaries on Windows like they are native application is the same).

I think that they don't care about going against the open soruce community, given that Microsoft uses a lot of open source software in their products (also, probably violates the terms of the GPL license of such software).
Starliner is a capsule/service module, not a rocket.
> Every other scenario requires you to be able to MITM the traffic which is pretty much already gameover.

MITM attacks is one of the major reasons for using TLS/PKI. You might have total control over the TLS connections I make to a website, but you won't be able to inject information in either direction. All you can do is observe the amount of data being transferred and terminate/hang/throttle the connection. If you send something effectively different to what was intended by the sender, the recipient will detect it as a TLS error and terminate the connection.

This attack involves injecting information before STARTTLS which puts the connection into a state that the client is not aware of, this is not normally possible in plain TLS connections.
Hey, good luck with your launch.

Some very first thoughts on the landing page from someone who probably is in the target audience as I’ve used quite a few similar apps so far. (I did not get to actually try the service due to the lack of integration with bank data)

There is little of substance on the landing page. As a user who is interested in using this, I’d want to learn what features the app has, what is different and better than the competitors, and at the very least see what the app looks like.

Video guide of the features would also be very interesting.

You mention it doesn’t integrate with banks. That is unfortunate. Any thoughts or supporting csv imports or an api to allow users to diy?

Good luck and I’ll keep an eye out :)
There are people in the SF Bay Area who have full time service jobs and can only afford to live in their cars. It should worry everybody when there is a large - and growing - segment of society that follows the rules and can’t scrape by. That doesn’t last for long.

You don’t need to worry about the crack heads, worry about the people who can hold a 9-5 and aren’t getting a living wage. All they need is a charismatic leader to organize them, and they’ll actually get shit done.
Who said that “if you are going through hell, keep going”?

I wonder if Boeing has the resources to keep going until they fix themselves.
Because they're not "stranded" they're just doing a slightly extended otherwise normal mission rather than a brief test mission. There's no problem with that.

There is no emergency here. There's no need to scramble anything so they will ride home on February having spent 8 months up sharing a Dragon ride down with a crew that spent 6 months up. No big deal. The ISS crew appreciates the extra help around the shop right now. Butch and Suni want to be in space -- that's why they're astronauts, so they're not suffering. The only people suffering are their families and Boeing stockholders.

Dragon cannot be configured with 6 seats. The 7 seat configuration was rejected by NASA because of g-forces and the vehicles are now solidly 4 seaters and you certainly can't add two more seats to the Crew Dragon that's already up there so you wait on the next one to arrive on its regular schedule minus two of its crew so Suni and Butch can use those seats. Also, they need to send up Dragon suits as the Starliner suits can't be plugged into Dragon so even if they sat on the floor of the already up there Dragon for the ride home, they still couldn't jack in and that's only going to happen if there's a genuine emergency -- which there is not.

You make a lot of seemingly confident, but wrong assertions here. I suggest moderating that certainty until you know more about the subject.
Neither. I reject your question.
It's not right now, there was a huge banwave and it's been bot free for a couple of months now. If you have any nostalgia for TF2, now is the time to indulge.

That only works if taxes aren't so high as to kill the incentive to create the source.

Non-abstract documentation of the 'a peal' of MIT without the need for making admissions?
I'm also an org-roam and paper guy, but I've designed my system to be platform-agnostic. It's all in the naming conventions.

Files are named hierarchically with periods. I have top-level categories that have changed little over the years. `con.` for concepts, `lit.` for documents, `proj.` for projects... you get the point, I'm not listing all of them unless someone really just wants me to.

My go-to example is always Star Wars. `lore.sw` is my top-level Star Wars note. I also have `lore.sw.chron` which is the chronological watching order. There's also `game.sw` which contains a list of Star Wars games I've found.

This extends to non-note files as well. For images of something I use `.img.[date].#.[ext]`, so for example I have some pictures of my cat named `ppl.neck.img.2024.03.15.1.raw`. I have a video of him murdering a bird too, `ppl.neck.vid.2024.05.22.murdering-a-bird.mp4`... As you can see, sometimes I replace the number with a nice title.

The modularity of it all is great. I can add anything anywhere at any point in the hierarchy without having to re-name things. I name things exactly what they are. The hierarchy can be sparse, parent notes don't have to exist. I can name something `stuff.something.i-dont-know.gif` without having any notes for `stuff.` or `stuff.something.`

I have notes on paper as well, and they use the same system, with the hierarchical name printed in bold at the top of the paper. `self.passwords` is a paper note for obvious reasons. I also keep most of my `sys.internal.` documentation on paper because my computer might not work when I need it most, though a lot of them do have computer versions which I just print out when I change because it's too much to write by hand.
At least for me, this is even worse. I would rather have a clear separation between the content being foisted on me and the content I'm there to actually see.
> Part of the problem is that the lower end of potential inventory (pod apartments/SRO/etc) are essentially illegal in this country. So the barriers to entry make it seem much more inelastic.

This is true. A decade ago this area was among the cheapest in the nation but now is solidly in the expensive category.

In between were moratorium on apartment construction (the last non-premium housing still being built) and a sudden influx of CA & NY sized dollars. The never-stopping, double digit, yearly insurance increases - that just levels it all up.
The modern commercialized version of this is Ugmonk’s Analog.
That's one of the important criteria, yes. But I was trying to draw the line on what is "cheating", not when it's socially or morally acceptable.
I recognize no system is perfect. If there was an attempt to achieve those things, crank my taxes up. I don't need perfect to be the enemy of good.
I think it's fair to leave "unrealized" gains tax so long as the "gains" are never utilized or borrowed against.

I buy a lot off Amazon and have never received a bad or bunk product, not even once.
The answer is obvious, we put up gates to prevent competition. Every industry has so much red tape and list of approved products that it is impossible. Have a new product to solve house building in a timely fashion, hopefully you have hundred of thousands to pay for certification and then wait years for some government agency to approve your product for building.

It's rather disgusting how we grid locked ourselves with regulations. There used to be thousands of ISPs, banks, grocery stores, etc and we added red tape after red tape to restrict and allowed them to be all bought by the company that did the best.

Now we got like 3 banks, 3 ISPs, and 3 grocery stores with different names.
Yep, basically my kid's sick days. Kinda regret that I didn't shoot for $$ when young. Since the probability to find a work I enjoy is close to zero, better grab more cash.

Is all of that $750k wages?

If some of it is assets (stock), I firmly believe that should be taxed differently than earned cash wages.
> 2. Taxing unrealized stock gains is impossible and/or unfair. We do this to property just fine. Companies produce tax statements of unrealized gains just fine.

Wait till you find out what someone with a home nominally valued $2m in San Francisco pays on his property taxes compared to you.
There's an easy way to address this:

If a corporation "moves" oversees to avoid taxes, they aren't allowed to reap the benefits of the country whose taxes they wished to avoid.

If a billionaire moves to avoid taxes, they and their assets are cut off from the system whose taxes they wished to avoid. Oh, you want to move overseas but keep your money in banking institutions propped up by the US government? Too bad. You want your corporations to keep the full protection of the US government (intellectual capital protection, copyright, etc...)? Too bad! You want your company to take full advantage of all the US has to offer (great education system, a large consumer base, secure capital markets, a relatively stable government)? Too bad!

Most of these folks are just greedy fucks who know how good they have it...but somehow they want more, yet expect that people with exponentially less wealth will pay for it. I don't like that.

Note - the government isn't always the best at allocating capital or resources...but neither are private citizens or corporations.
