i would say you want to route through as many jurisdictions as you feasibly can. For example, US investigators arent going to get any cooperation from Iran or North Korea; any trail that crosses into their borders is going to be a dead end for their investigation.
You referred to Technology Connections. Unless I’m mistaken, he had an unhealthy obsession with UK plugs.
Our household wiring standards are intrinsically safer than the UK. They need the overbuilt outlets and plugs that Technology Connections likes, because the UK took so many shortcuts on their building wiring.
Can’t really fault them: they developed those standards during a massive copper shortage. To minimize copper use, they ran as few circuits as they could, which means each circuit is drawing absurd loads. They developed “ring circuits” which used undersized wiring and are one loose wire away from an overload. They had to build excessive protections into their plugs so they could safely plug every device they owned into one high-power circuit.
We used dozens of properly-sized circuits.
you certainly won’t find an outlook configured like that in a bedroom.
I’ve got one. My bedroom was designed to be able to use a 240v window air conditioner.
I don’t actually need that, because the house was renovated with central air, but the outlet is still there.
I’ve got a 30a 240v outlet behind my stove, a 50a 240v outlet in my garage. I wired an 80a 240v circuit for my parents hot tub. We’ve got no shortage of power here.
The only thing that annoys me about the North American power grid is that we only have three phase in commercial and industrial settings. We don’t bring three-phase power to the home.
You want to see stupid, go look at the ring circuits they play with on the UK grid. Completely unsafe.
Dick cancer is better than almost all the existing ones.
He’s pissed off Musk and now the Waltons. It’s coming.
Its not the first time. This is one rating from one credit reporting agency. We’ve lost AAA status with at least two others in the last 10 years or so.
You remind me of that one kid in class who was intelligent enough to realize the teacher forgot to assign homework, but lacked the wisdom to shut the hell up and walk out the door.
Not sure you can defraud a criminal organization.
Did he really just leave his IP wide open? Or did they somehow manage to get through his seven proxies to find him?
I know I’m being paranoid. What I don’t know is if I’m being paranoid enough.
Never used plex. Finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Very happy with it.
I think you read the comment wrong.
When you earn a billion dollars, you’ll pay $250 million in taxes, and receive $10,000 in UBI. You are, indeed, taxed more than you receive.
I wouldn’t characterize that “kidswap” plan as “cheating”.
The government has no interest in whether my kid moves in with my neighbors. It should not be establishing a regulation that encourages them to do so, nor should the government claim fraud because they dont think the kid moved far enough away to qualify as “leaving home”.
This plan is discrimination on the basis of familial status, which should be prohibited.
Only thing I’d add is to make sure that, for those who make above a certain income (the “rich”), any tax owing must be paid in full before the UBI is paid out. This prevents the float issue from coming back for those who pay late.
No need. Interest and penalties on the unpaid taxes amount to significantly more than the float.
UBI should be treated more like a dividend paid to a shareholder. The shareholder’s financial situation is irrelevant to what the shareholder is owed.
The fact that he collected billions (worth of cash and financial instruments) in the first place is the problem. He should have been charging consumers less, and paying his workers more. He never should have accumulated his obscene wealth to begin with.
Perhaps we could do something like saying UBI is paid out annually and only given the day before taxes are due to be paid
AFAIK, taxes are withheld from wages and paid from every paycheck, not once a year.
Self-employed people are required to make quarterly installments, not annual.
The “float” cost is minimal. Indeed, I can eliminate it (and reverse it) merely by claiming the payments came out of the previous tax cycle, rather than the current one. The government constantly owes you 12 months worth of payments, and isnt paying you interest on your money. When you die, your estate receives the remaining 12 payments owed to you.
But the biggest reason to apply it uniformly is, IMO, the social costs. Giving it to everyone, it is an entitlement. It is the dividend the citizen receives for their ownership share of their country.
Giving it only to the poor, it is a charity intended to help people who are unable to support themselves.
post incarceration.
Author of this article is serving a life sentence. He’s been in prison over 15 years so far, and won’t be eligible for parole for another 52 years, at which time he will be 97 years old.
“Post incarceration”, he’ll be mailed to his next of kin in a tiny plastic bag. There is no “rebuilding” of his life after incarceration. This is the rest of his life.
I do think he should be earning at least minimum wage for his work while imprisoned. But, $6.25 of his $7.25/hr wages should be garnished and divided among the estates of his victim(s). If they refuse the money, the state should offer the job to any other prisoner whose victims will actually accept restitution.
I’d go so far as to intercept up to 75% of the funds deposited into his commissary account as victim restitution.
Under the nuclear family approach, children over 18 living with their parents are considered separate families and can qualify independently, regardless of their parents’ income. This raises equity concerns because it may result in disproportionate benefits for high-income families.
In contrast, the economic family definition uses the combined income of all related individuals living in the same household, providing a more comprehensive and equitable basis for assessing eligibility.
So, if my daughter lives in my house, we’re all related, and thus one economic family.
But, if my daughter moves into my neighbor’s house, and their son moves into my house, we’re now four economic families?
How about once a month, we just direct deposit the same amount into the bank account of each and every person over the age of 18?
Zero-day exploits are security holes that exist and are used by bad actors, but aren’t yet known to you, or anyone capable of closing the hole. The clock to patch the hole doesn’t start running until the exploit is known: it stands at zero days until the good guys know it exists.
What zero-day exploits exist for ssh?
By definition, you don’t know. So, you block root login, and hope the bad actor doesn’t also know a zero-day for sudo.
Every single one of those temporary IP addresses has the same prefix, which traces back to you.
Its about as anonymous as adding an apartment number to your own street address.
