What would you want to get out of the recurse center? It's an okay place if you want to develop your coding skills (I say okay because it all depends on who you meet and who's in your batch. If you want to get really good at database development but your batch is full of front end dev's, you might have a bad time). However they're not the best at placing people into jobs. IMO you either have to be somebody with 10+ years of experience prior to attending, or already know somebody at the company they place you at.

this is the first i've heard of this. links? not trying to be a jerk at all; i just like learning more about far out rumors like this.

lightning has the perks of being instantaneous, free or nearly free, and not tied to a specific currency. With visa, it's not instantaneous, charges vendors a 3% tx fee each time a card is used, and requires international clearing houses for foreign payments

look into the lightning network

i disagree with the 65,000 figure. A baseline tesla model 3 is 38000 dollars, which has a computer that can handle full self driving beta. I can see the price going down TBH

no, they're not productive because they live off of goverment handouts. ANYBODY who takes more than they give is unproductive. Middleschoolers are unproductive, incarcerated felons are unproductive, people living off government grants are unproductive

so it'll sit there for weeks, probably be delayed for 6 months because some random environmentalist at some obscure government agency feels power hungry and demands a review, then comes up with some overlooked flaw that sets everything back 4 years

reader beware, the rules are selectively enforced

nasa puts all the images from their space probes up at pds.jpl.nasa.gov it's a learning curve to navigate, but once you know about it, it's addictive

no argument there. Would you agree with me that it'd be better if the schools provided all the materials that a teacher needs, instead of them paying out of pocket for supplies? I'll sometimes pay out of pocket for work supplies but I just get reimbursed so it's no big deal.

Honestly though, we also need to ask why teachers are having to spend money out of pocket at all. We pay all these taxes, shouldn't the schools be able to afford photo copies?

I think you're right on how the policy works, but look at the math. The standard deduction doubled, so as an equation New_deduction > old_deduction+school supplies

Teachers came out ahead

I remember there was a huge issue among the teachers unions that teachers wouldn't be able to deduct up to 500 dollars anymore for classroom expenses (I may have the number wrong). I was thinking, you teachers should be good at math and realize your deduction being doubled is way nicer than having that classroom supplies deduction. Also, why isn't the school paying for your expenses (but that's a whole separate conversation)

an african or european kettle?

this bro's salty

the people who set up CHAZ last summer, lying to the FBI to start investigations, and illegal wire tapping would be nice to prosecute too.

why the jab at bitcoin? u salty bro?

I couldn't find an archived version of the story, but here's the same topic on yahoo news without a paywall https://news.yahoo.com/u-supreme-court-hear-challenge-144716...

I think we'd all be surprised at how many people actually lean conservative in the 20-40 age group. My hunch is that 9/10 people who lean that way stay silent for fear of professional/personal repercussions. Voicing conservative view points in the monolithic tech industry will get you fired and excommunicated

*correction, if you're not right of center in your twenties you have no heart, if you're not conservative in your 30's, you have no brain. The socialists are pushing for dangerous governance methods that have caused genocide and economic collapse over the 20th century and actively discriminate based on people's gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. The "centrist Democrats" stick their heads in the sand ignoring the crimes of the leaders they elect and the influence of the far left progressive wing of the Democratic party.

maybe you're the exception to the norm, or maybe I am out of touch. When I was in college (in the last decade), everyone gave democrats a free pass to do whatever they wanted. I have heard that gen-z leans more libertarian though

not really. they were fawning over bernie then hillary in 2016 and bernie then biden in 2020.

i haven't done my own analysis on this yet, but a lot of times the scammers will send funds to the scam accounts to make it look more legit. The elon musk youtube scammers are horrible people, but I'd be surprised if 200 million was the actual amount stolen

comment of the year, and it's not even friday

this just in, NASA is trolling us and it's actually mercury years /s

source? I'll tell you rite now that housing prices increased 13.5% over the last year https://www.redfin.com/us-housing-market this corresponds with 4 trillion fiat dollars being printed in the same time period https://libertyconservativenews.com/more-than-35-of-us-dolla... So say what you just said to the minimum wage worker who's food and housing prices are going up

you want to talk about corruption? look at pelosi's investment portfolio. Minor inflation? Look at the cost of food and housing (which are left out of the CPI to make things look less bad)

I 100% agree with you. But as Satoshi famously said, you either get it or you don't; I don't have time to convince you. All these ESG shills hating on Bitcoin because they ignored it till now aren't going to accept it. Might as well leave them in the dust and focus attention on building great tools to use on Bitcoin

I really disagree with people who want to ban bitcoin. If you understood how Bitcoin works and why people adopt it, you'd realize you can't ban it. You can ban onramps and offramps but you can't ban mining and most nodes operate over TOR so you don't even know who's running it

because they wrote a whole comment about minneapolis being in indiana
